A party of young people wander
ed in the general direction of Fort
Pavia Monday evening and partook
cl the frivolity and festivities of an
old-fashioned beach party. As one
of the young men explained that he
cculd do nothing but bark like a
dog the next day, due to a super
abundance of hot dogs, we might
assume that the young ladies did
not need to powder their noses for
at least three days due to an excess
consumption of marshmellows. To
use the unique and strictly original
expression, "a good time was had
Work was completed Friday on |
the approaches and railroad trestle!
across Dry creek which puts the
road in condition practical!., <ts far
as Little Creek where the opera
tions of the Hamraon Company
necessitate- reconstruction of the
road at that place. A crew is now
at work at Banner Station putting
the* track i-n a serviceable condition
in that locality.
Travel conditions and means of
transportation on the lower Yukon
between Holy Cross and St. Michael
this season are reported as none too
favorable to the* traveler. The ser
vice is very po.*r and not depend
able. and the launches small and in
efficient. Recent arrivals at Nome
v ere subjected to a delay of eleven
days at Old Hamilton at their own
expense and with poor accommoda
tions and a very limited supply of
food. Captain Allan ”f the M. S.
Donaldson reports that an unfair
discrimination was shown him at
St. Michael, regardless of th“ fact
that ho is engaged in a legitimate
transportation business and carry
ing the* United States mail. The
Yukon is one gateway to Nome and
these conditions, if true, aro cer
tainly not to the best interests of
Nome or the Yukon river points.
Sam Maeids adds his expression
of worried expectancy to Nome’s
magnates of the waterfront, as his
motorboat Kohuk undergoes minor
repairs preparatory to sailing for
Keewalik to encage in lightering
for Mr.j Magids’mercantile estab
lishment at that place. To the
chance Observer, a stroll along the
: i\ er front might load lmu to be
firmly convinced that all the affairs
i,; state and nations rest upon the
shoulders of the men engaged in
..\erhaultng and launching the mos
quito fleet. Perhaps we should
page the Simple Sally Chorus of S.
S Victoria fame and have them
render the popular little ditty en

Commercial men who arrived in
Nome Thursday aboard the Victoria
state that business conditions of
the lower Yukon are not as good as
last year, due chiefly to a lack of
Pur and an excess of stock carried
over from last season.
