landed on his left knee and inflicted
a bruise which forced the urfottunate

Although the fact is little known,
even to his friends. Ole Mensol, of
this city, possesses the proud distinc
tion of having the right to wear six
stars on his coat lapel in token of
members of his family engaged in
American military service during tho
war. Mr. Mensol had four sons and
two grandsons in the service during
the period of American war partici
pancy. Although a number of others
are known to have had several relat

Mr. Mensol holds the Nome record.

A rcent telegram from Juneau indi
cates that the Territorial Legislature
will probably not convene until ar
ound the first of April, owing to the
inability of the Canvassing Board to
decide upon the successful candidates
at the November elections because of
the delay in arrival of returns from
the Second Division. According toj
the message in question, the Canvass- j
ing Board will not meet until March]
20th.. by which time it is expected1
that the returns held up by the ex
tended quarantine will have arrived
at the capital city.
Private messages from the States
during recent days indicate that the
prophecy voiced by the verses printed
in these columns some days ago un
der the caption: "They'll All Come
Back* was not far off the mark. Ac
cording to the messages referred to,
there will be a veritable exodus of
Alaskans and former Alaskans from
Seattle when the summer navigation
period is open. Having tried their
luck in the marts of the great Out
side. in response to the lure of high
wages—which were high right
enough, hut not as high as the costs
of living—the sourdough’s are arriv
ing at the conclusion that Alaska is
not such a bad place after all and are
again turning their eyes northward In
anticipation of migrating with the
geese, when summer greens the roll
ing hills— as Dooley said.
Interest in the reported strike on
the Stuyahok river In the Marsha!!
I section is increasing steadily with the
arrival of further reports regarding
the location and value of the new gold
discovery and there is a present pros
pect that ri number of local in ushers
and miners may make the trip to the
new go* 1 field in the event of later
reports verifying those decldely en
couraging ones already received. Jack
Monahan, who rtcently returgeJ frim
the lower Yukon sections, is one of
those who anticipate making the trip.
Mr. Monohan says he heard nothing
of the strike while in the district, but
believes that the reports are correct
and expects to leave in a week or so
to investigate for himself. Humors in
circulation during recent days indi
cate that five or six local parties may
make the trip if the reports -continue
favorable.
The efforts of Governor Itiggs and
others to secure a congressional ap
propriation of $200,000 for influensa
relief in Alaska, are hardly achieving
the success which might be expected
in view of the circumstances, judging
from a telegram from Delegate Wick
er* ham to M. W. Griffith regarding the
appropriation. The delegate holds
forth little hope that the appropriat
ion will be granted, stating plainly
that the prospect does not seem hope
ful. The message states that Senator
oJnes, cf Washington, is doled every
thing possible to get the two hundred
thousand asked but docs not seem
hopeful of success. Judge Wicker
sham says that if the senator falls,
the funds necessary to carry on the
work will have to be provided by the
Juneau legislature Wickersham fur
ther states that he is doing everything
possible to assist Senator Jones, but
the message indicates clearly that the
chances of the appropriation being
rceived are slight.
In a message to his father, Fred
Bourdon, one of the Nonfe army draft
quota, reports that all of the Nomej
hunch have been discharged from ser
vice and are In Seattle, awaiting thej
time when they can get back to dear:
old Nome. Fred says the government!
turned them loose without regard toj
the delay they would be forced to en- j
counter before being able to return to
Alaska and most of them are already
"broke** and without Jobs, the small
amount of money received from their
period of army service being far from
sufficient to carry them over until
Spring navigation opens. The story
told by Bourdon lndlcat 1 a reprehen
sible management of affairs with re
spect to the Alaskan boys by the xnttl
tury authorities, who have sgpnrsatlr
given them discharge with reward to
the time which must elapse before
they can return tw their home*, leav
ing them to tare as beet aa they can
in a strange land and at a thne when
Jobs ire exceedingly scarce.

Although the weather was bright and
clear st’Nome today, a hard wind was
reported along' the east coast. The
gale, as usual, was particular? sev
ere at Solomon. There *s a prospect
that the bad weather may have the
effect of delaying the Incoming melt.
