RAIN FLOODS LOCAL STREAMS
I Nearly three weeks of almost con
| tinual rainy weather has filled the
! nenrby creeks and rivers to flood pro
I portions. In many Instances, recent
reports say, the water has attained
heights never known before In the per
iod of white occupancy. As there Is
! little stream mining going on. aside
from dredging, the flooded condition
of the streams has had little effect on
the mining industry. So far no par
ticular damage has been reported aside
from the loss of a considerable quan
tity of fuel oil intended for use of the
Julian dredge on Osborne creek. The
oil, contained in tins, is said to have
been piled up on the creek bank, at a
i point considered entirely safe from
; flood but was nevertheless swept away
I by the unprecedentedly high water.

JAS BOGAN VICTIM
OF PAINFUL INJURY
| Jas. Bogan was the victim of a
[painful accident Sunday when a heavy
Iron dog attached to the hoisting gear
;of the big Road Commission auto truck
became loosened in some manner and
was hurled through the air with great
[violence, striking Mr. Bogan on the
head. Although the blow was of a
glancing character, it placed the un
fortunate Jimmy hors du combat for
several days and rendered him uncon
clous for hours after the accident.
Those who saw the accident assert
that the heavy piece of iron would
l probably have left him'with no head
at all, instead of an exceedingly sore
one, had it struck him squarely. Af
ter being confined to bed for the great
er pnrt of the week Mr. Bogan Is
again able to be around.

MISSES BONGARP HERE ON VISIT
Misses Kale and Irene Bongard,
daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Joa. Bon
gat'd, are visiting Nome at present and
thereby hangs a tale which, briefly told
is as follows. Both were engaged In
teaching school last winter, Miss Kata
at Candle and her sister at plme. At
the close of the winter term, Miss
Irene, believing her sister would come
to Nome by water, hastened here to
meet her. The weather God’s, how
ever. so disposed matters that there
was no opportunity for Kate to make
the journed from Candle by boat and
she decided to go overland, to Dime.
After a difficult and trying Journey, she
arrived at Haycock, only to find that
her sister had gone to Nome on one
of the first boats, expecting to meet
here there. Kate caught the Amy and1
there was a glad reunion Monday j
VICTORIA GOES TO 8T MICHAEL
After arriving v/IMiln miles of
Nome Wednesday, the steamer Victoria
was diverted to St Michael owing to
the stormy weather precluding all pros
pect of the vessel discharging here.
On the dav following he*- arrival at St
Michael, stormy weather developed
along that section oLthe coast, making
it impossible for the vessel to land
cargo at that port. At the same
time a lull In the storm developed here
and caused agent It. A. Carroll to
consider ordering the steamer to re
turn to Nome. Unfortunately the wind
again kicked up a nasty surf Thursday
night and the vessel remained at St
Michael. At last reports the steamer
was discharging cargo and will prob
ably arrive here In a day or so.
As the quantity of cargo consigned
to this port is small, the Victoria will
not remain here for more thap a brief
period after arrival.
DEPOSIT MAIL EARLY
As the S. 8. Victoria may leave
for the "Outside** soon after arrival,
it is advisable to deposit all mall at
the post office early which are intend*
ed for dispatch by that steamer.
