W. L SLACK AND SON, PROPRIETORS
to death Sunday evening last
during a blizzard, about a mile
this side of Quartz creek, 19 miles
west of Nome; a third boy, 10
years of age, was badly frozen
about the hands and feet. He
was brought to Nome this after
noon by R. W. J. Reed and James
Kirby and taken to Holy Cross
hospital. The boys had been up
to Quartz creek and had started
home during the night; a blizzard
was blowing fiercely, and they
lost the trail. The two victims
were frozen stiff, but the third
managed to save his life by crawl
ing into a snowbank.
The blizzard which has blown
at intervals for the past week or
ten days brought death rather
close to at least one man. This
was George Hilfrich, who left
Nome on Dec. 20th for Oregon
creek. A blizzard found him on
the trail and he lost his way. Af
ter being out three days and two
nights, he found himself on the
Sinrock river. During that time
he had not tasted food. While
the blizzard was at its fiercest he
burrowed into a snowbank. He
was clad in furs or he would un
doubtedly have perished. To add
to his troubles he struck an over
flow during his wanderings and
got his feet wet. But the care he
took prevented freezing very bad
ly, although both feet were froz
en somewhat.When he left Nome
he carried a pair of skis, but
these he could not use in the vio
lent storm and he was forced to
abandon them. Mr. Hilfrich re
turned to Nome on Saturday.
Frank Martin, the “Lachine
Kid,” and “Monte the Barber,”
have signed articles for a ten
round fight for a decision on
Christmas night in Council City.
Odds are offered on the Kid.

A number of walruses, it is al

noon on floating ice a consider

men in a boat tried to reach the
alleged walrus,but when they got
to where the animals ought to
have been, like the Irishman’s
flea, they were not there.

We see many Eskimos sitting
along the revetments at Snake
River now days fishing for Tom
Cod, a great delicacy among the
natives. Women and children
are to be seen energetically jerk

lines, fishing for the Arctic fish
which is used both for dog feed
and human consumption.

‘Twon’t Be Long Now
"Do I bore you”, asked the
mosquito politely, as he sank a
deep shaft into the man’s leg.
“Not at all!” replied the man,
smashing the mosquito gently
over the head with a book. “And,
by the way, how do I strike
you?”

Careful Buying
The Jeweler—Yes, we have
cheaper wedding rings, but they
’re only plated and won’t last
more than a year or two.
Titus Wadle—I’ll take one of
them. If my marriage outlasts
the ring I can have it replated.
It’s Invisible
Congressman (to visitor)—Now
is there anything else around the
capitol I can show you?
Visitor—There is, I’d like to
have a look at that “pork barrel”
I’ve read so much about.
