BACK FROM TRAIL
STAKING TRIP
1 toy Slump returned last' week
fiom a trail staking .trip to the Tort
Clarence section and reports that
every travelled trail out of Teller is
-now marked with trail flags and
stakes installed at the direction of
I toad Commissioner .Harney Cibney,
head of the divisional branch of the
Territorial Itoad Commission.
Stump, departed for Teller with a
four horse tea'in and four thousand
trail stakes a couple of weeks ago and
was assisted in the work by Duncan
McLain. Staking operations started
at Cape Douglas and a line of stakes
was set along the trail between that
point and Teller. From Teller the
trail was staked to Lost River via the
Mission and the Cold Run trail, us
well as all others in the region around
l‘ort Clarence bay wore marked in a
thorough manner.
Mr. Stump says it is practically
impossible to get lost in that section
now as lines of stakes run In every
direction from Teller. The t\^> trail
stakers also visited the various shelter
cabins and placed them in Ihe pest
possible shape for the accomodation
of travellers.
The Cape Douglas cabin, recently
reported in bad condition as a result
eP*’visits by Eskimo hunters, was thor
oughly cleaned up Jxy McLain and
placed in good condition. The dis
trict is well supplied with shelter
cdbins, so situated that travellers cua
il.
easily tin«l shelter In any • locality.
McLain remained in the Teller dis
trict and will stake the Aginpuk trail
I before, returning to Nome. He -has
also been commissioned to fix up the
barn at Cape Douglas for the con
venience of travellers with horse
BELIEVED TREATY SIGNING NO?T
HOPELESS
Washington. Jan. 29th—Notwith
standing all that lias been happening
in connection with the peace treaty,
and despite the refusal of the repub
licans to make further compromise
concessions, the impression prevails
.here today that the prospects for the
treaty being ultimately accepted are
not altogether hopeless. It is the be
lief in official circles that some
I means will be found to break the
deadlock which has developed with
the refusal of the republicans to agree
td further mo4iflcntiopg of their treaty
demands.
BACK FROM INTERIOR TRIP
Morte I Well, winter manager of
the Alaska Mines company, returned
Sunday from a trip to the Iron Creek
section on business. He reports lit
tle activity in that region. The trip
was, a pleasant one with good trails
throughout.

HARO TIMES DANCE
ENJOYABLE EVENT
The Hard Times dance given by the
Arctic Brotherhood last Saturday
proved an interesting and enjoyable
affair and was well attended. The
"hard times” motif resulted in the
appeafance of numerous novel cos.

ve*y quintessence of hard times by
means of costumes composed almost
entirely of burlap fashioned somewhat
on the Topsy style. The ^arrange,
