about Sept 18th. lf*23. on the lias
Sch«x»n«*r Silver Wave; but it seems
that she was unable to reach there
on account of stormy weather. Every
day for nearly three weeks, we ex
pected to hear that the boat had
arrived, but communication was cut
off by wire and we had no way of
knowing where the boat was. At
last we heard that she had returned
to Teller and »s it was now so late
in the season and the Keewallk river
was frozen over, we gave up hope
of any small boat coming north
again this season. Some of us had
planned '>11 going Outside for a year
and it was hard for Us to give up
and "freeze in" for another winter,
so we dec;(Ied to call on the (’oast
(Juard or Revenue Cutter Service.
Communication by wire had been
again established, so a telegram was
sent out and that very day. October

was no snow, only frozen tundra,
so we made very slow progress.
We carried a bridge along, made
of 6x6 timbers, which had to be
installed at four different times
over Creeks to enable us to cross.
Most of the way we were without
any trail at all and it was cold and
dark. The men had to walk all
the way and were continually scout

BUFORD UST BOAT !
SAIL FROM DOME!
'
The Alaskan S.herlan Navigation
Company steamer Buford is stand
ing by ready to sail on her last trip
of the season. The many people
who are going out on the Buford
testify to the necessity of having :i
late boat leaving Nome. Had the
Buford net been on the run this
summer many mining men would
have been compelled to close down
their operations much earlier. Nome
> fortunate indeed to have a boat
on the run to the States that will
endeavor to make some allowances
for the short season which we bav
in this district, and give the miners
a chance to attend to their business
here before going to the Outside
for the winter Below is printed a
list of those who will spend the
winter in the States and who have
taken passage on the Buford.

She wouldn’t object to taking
the street car. but there’s liable to
be only one vacant seat and she’d
want to sit down, too.
Of course a man wouldn’t think
of sitting down and letting his girl
stand up unless he knew' her very.
But a fellow doesn’t always take the
girl home in a taxicab, sometimes
he’s married to her.
The honeymoon is always over
when a man and his wife start going
home on the trolley.
One dame said to her husband:
"Before we were married you al
ways used to take me home In a
tab." He says: "Bare, that’s why
we’re riding on street ears now.”
While they were engaged he
wanted to display hie wea*h. When
