OVERSTOCK <CK
To the Public:—
We have just finished stock tak
ing, and find that we are heavily
overstocked so are making enorm
ous reductions in Hardware—as
much as 50% in certain lines. Not
withstanding immense advances out
side, especially in Hardware and
Metal Goods, we are still selling jn
the basis of goods purchased the
past two or three years.
We will sell for cash only at these
prices, and for a limited time, until
we bring our stock down to the re
quirements of the Camp.
If you have an order to be filled,
let us figure on it; we can save you
money. WTe have proved it oo
others, we can prove it to you.

Some concern was felt for the
safety of John Christensen who left
on Tuesday for M’Donald creek. Be
cause one of the dogs returned to
town with harness on yesterday
some got the idea that he was lost.
As Christensen is an old timer and
is familiar with the trail which is
only about an hour’s mush altogeth
er from Nome, and as there are lots
of cabins on the way and the day
and weather was clear, there is no
foundation for any fears for his
safety. He went out to Harold Jen
sen’s camp on M’Donald creek.

The schools are still closed on ac
count of the holidays. It is likely to
be a week from next Monday before
the school children again are called
upon to attend the public schools
and receive instruction in the vari
ous departments of learning. The
school attendance this year is well
up to that of former years while
parents state that the teaching is
reaching a higher state of efficiency
than has been reached in some
time. That is not saying that some
time ago a very high standard was
necessarily set.
All the fur buyers say that this
is one of the dullest years in many
and that market reports are de
pressing reading. On the other hand
reports from man? outlying sections
say that fox and lynx are plentiful,
and especially are white fox in
abundance. The natives who hope
that the little spurt that white fox
took on last year would be main
tained are doomed to disappoint
ment for the skins are gone ‘way
down. When it was pointed out to
one fur buyer that the fashion of
the hour was reverting to short furs
for trimming and that mink were
again in high esteem, the buyer de
clared that it would be years before
this would affect the price, as mink
are held by the millions in storage
for a better market and this little
stimulus would hardly be felt.
City taxes will become delinquent
about January 26. but although that
is some time ahead there is quite a
procession of tax payers every day
to the clerk’s office when the city
strong box is enriched by sums of
varying amount. Judge Grimm
says that the taxes are coming in
fairly well, considering the inter
ruption of the holiday season, al
though it will be some time before
the larger tax payers dig up and
pay. There was some report that
some of the largest tax payers who
are merchants in the city would not
pay, claiming that the tax was ine
quitable. As however the city has
arbitary power in the matter of seiz
ing the property under distress war
rants according to law, those would
be voluntary delinquents are likely
to discover that they are playing a
losing game bucking the city, the
only fault in the taxation of which
has been that few are taxed within
a decent margin of their personal
property.
