Dr. Smith of the Kotzebue
Hospital made a visit to Candle
recently and took care of many
ailments. We are very thankful

So far we have had practically
no snow to speak of and very
mild weather. Few complaints
are heard except from those who
are anxious to travel. Otherwise
we are rather thankful as little
impression is being made on the
coal piks.
Charley Evern began his win

week. His partner Frank Warsing
has gone up Candle Creek with
