LOCAL FREIGHT
RATES REDUCED
Rates for freighting to the other
side of the divide have undergone a
big reduction within the past week.
The usual rate to points on the
Glen side is 6 cents a pound.
Sundborg, when he entered the
freighting field last fall, ti ok con
s'gnments at 5 cents. This week
McHugh & Smith made a further
cut to 4 cents. All of which is cal
cu 0te l to make the miners smile.
Of course all engaged in the busi
ness w i 1 have to come to the lowest
rate, fleeter says to judge by the
course things have lately taken it
is likely to be 3 cents to the other
side before spring, and parties need
be in no hurry to enter into con
tracts far moving over 'heir spring
and summer outfits.
The reduction from former prices
amounts to 1 o in.-ignificant sum
when the amount of supplies con
sumed across the divide is consid
ered.
McQuesten’s teams have lately
been busy most of the time in haul
ing wood, and Heeter’s and Mc
Hugh & Smith’s have been-doing
the freighting. All .earns have
been busy since before snow fell.
case not so serious
AS FIRST REPORTED
In 'he case of I.ouis Siler, O. P.
Goss and W. J. Oslin. charged with
breaking and entering the premises
of Lucy Baggage, a native woman,
on a careful investigation by Dep
uty Marshal Dreibelbis it was found
that the evidence did not warrant
the holding of the accused on so
serious a charge. Siler, through
his attorney Geo. A. Salisbury,
pleaded guilty to assault and was
fined $25. The evidence did not
implicate Goss and Oslin and they
were discharged.
Geo. W. Chilson, missionary in
charge of St. Andrew's, represented
the native woman at whose instance
the case was brought, and the set
tlement was satisfactory t<> all con
cerned.

TANANA INDIANS
ON TRADING TRIP
A party of about twenty natives
arrived in Rampart from Minto last
Friday. They came to trade and
brought both meat and furs. They
said they had previously sent a
representative to Fairbanks to look
over that place as a market for their
articles, but his report was unfa
vorable and so they concluded to
pay their usual early winter visit
to Rampart.
Among the high-grade furs dis
posed of to Rampart business houses
was five beautiful silver fox skins,
secured by the Northern Commer
cial Co. Traeger & Falkenberg
took a lot of tie meat.
The Indians started on their re
turn journey Monday morning
