E. COKE HILL A PROHIBITIONER
There has been some question in
official circles as to what class of the
district attorney variety E. Coke Hill,
old timer and g<» >d sport really was—
whether of the common or garden kind,
or something in the blue-ribbon class,
a fid what fund h's salary Should be
ticufau*). A wire received from the at
torney general recently settles that.
Coke is a "prohibitioner." net. They
have appropriated a lot if mon«y to
enforce the prohibition laws which all
the money in the I'nited States seem
ingly cannot cram down the. throats
nfr the people, and in our neck of the
woods they have singled out Coke as
the beneficiary of that fund.
So. if C-jke catches you in the act.
or a party to the act, yon needn't
blame him for it. He is inflicted tiiut
away’hy the government which he has
signed on with It’s his business,
handed to him. and he has to go thru
the tricks to ease his conscience in
taking the money.—Exchange
.Ax-cording to a" scare head article”
printed in a Seattle pci per. “fish pir
ates” were respontfbie last year be
<-ause the (,-anneries did not put up
their "contract pock.” The “pirates'*
have been blamed for a lot of things
but this is the. first time th^v are held
responsible for the light run of salmon
last year. Some times a person won
ders if a “propaganda” is being car
ried on outside to keep capital from
making investments in Alaska.—Ju
One reason why congress is si slow
in giving Alaska needed legislation is
that under Rurleson the mails carry
ing oty protests have not reached
Washington yet.—Valdez1 Miner.

The'annual Barn Dance of-the Arc
tic Brotherhood, held In A B. Hall
last Saturday evening, proved a de
cidedly pleasant and interesting affair
and was greatly enjoyed by the large
number attending. A merrier crowd
has never foregathered in Arctic
Brotherhood hall and the fun was “f.-cst
and furious” throughout most of the
evening. The "bo my" atmosphere
was much in evidence ns n result of
the presence of hay and other bam
"scenery." The costumes of many of
the dancers were in keeping with the
runtl idea and lent an added touch to
the scene. There was also a keg of
eider where joyous libations were
poured for the delication of the thirsty
"boys and gals.” The dance program
was well arranged and the music was
excellent. Tim committee fn charge

CALL CONTINUING
The fourth annual tndnuhership Roll
Call of the Red Cross will continue
here for some days to come, or until
the arrival of the Roil Call reports
from the nitlying settlements, accord
ing to local Red Cross officials. The
drive for mcmjn-n> was originally
scheduled to close Thursday, but owing
t > the inability of Nome Chapter to
make its report until the returns from
the outlying sections are received.
has been decided t'.» keep up the effort.
Although the results cf the Roll Call
efforts here are quite satisfactory, the
drive having resulted in the Chapter
securing about 300 subscriptions to
date, there are still a considerable
number who have not en rolled and it
is hoped that a considerable portion
of these can be secured by extending
the drive a few days.
BERING PUTS ON
WINTER OVERCOAT
So flu* os the unaided eye can see,
to east, west and south, Tiering S>fi
covering of ice. The pack appeared
Sunday Last, coming from the west and
southwest and continued to press to
the east and north until Wednesday.
The pack appeared much broken up
and was not as heavy as usual. Dur
ing the first day or two after its np
•peaRince. the frozen mass kept up a
constant groaning and whining as the
broken masses rubbed against each
other under the impulse of the cur
rents. The pecuMar noises attracted
the attention of many people and at
times could he heard on Front Xtree*.
The sounds frequently took on a high
pitch, somewihat resembling shrill
whistling and at other times took in,
a' dull creaking tone which sometimes
became a moan. When the shriller
notes were sounding the very air seem
ed to il»o trembling with sharp vibra
tions. The weird noises continued at
intervals for two days before the pack
settled down.
ROAD COMMISSION TO
TAKE TRAFFIC CENSUS
A comprehensive census of the voj
umc of traffic over the various federal
road and trail routes in this district
Will be taken by the Alaska fined
Commission between January 1 and
December 31, 1921. probably for the
purpose of securing an understanding
■>f the traffic on which to byse the. fu
ture road and trail construction and
maintenance activities
Supt. (’has. Jones has received In
structions from the headquarters at
Juneau to th. following effect.
“It is lesirerl to/have a thorough
traffic census taken of all Alaska itoaJ
Commission routes for the period from
January 1. 1921 to December 31, 1921,
“The manner in which this census
will be taken will depend largely on
local conditions. On routes where
there is a. ferry it obviously will be
easy to have a count taken by the fer
ryponn. In other cases it will be ne
cessary to depend on road house keep
ers, msiil carriers, postmasters, mine
operators and such other local people
as will be willing to help us.
“In this census the following infor
mation is desired:
“Total number of vehicles traveling
on route, either automobiles, wagons,
sleds, pack horses, etc.
"Total number of persons travel
ing on route.
"Total tonnage and traffic of freight
“Also a' general "statement as to the
nature of the travel^^ourlst. mining*
mail, reindeer industry .etc.
“Reports should be submitted quart
erly to this office by each district of
fice of the census for the previous
quarter.”
