There will probably be at least
four starters in the All Alaska
Sweepstakes.
Afraid of your wife? Hum! Get
a few pointers from the Cabaret
Boxing Match Saturday night.
An exchange says that Mrs. C. D.
Murane has acquired and taken over
the Juneau Apartments in the ca
pital city.
Charles Weckman who arrived
recently for Dime is likely to build
a boat for river work although he
has not definitely decided on this
head.
The latest steps, the latets song
hits are features of the Cabaret and
will be excelled only by the good
time in store for YOU.
The Grand Jury yesterday was in
specting the public buildings and
offices in Nome, and this is indi
cation that tlieir work Wil! not be
very much further prolonged. These
duties generally wind up cheir deli
berations.
Lawrence Kerr arrived up from
Solomon yesterday. He says that
he encountered several who Were
on their way to Dime creek. Quite
a number of Solomon miners are
taking up their bed and walking to
Dime. A large number of Eskimos
came up for the Easter religious
services at Nome.
Absolutely anything you could
wish for at K. C. C.. It’s some
show.
The Scottish Rite Masons have
accepted an invitation to be present
at the Easter service Sunday even
ing in the Federated church. An
enlarged choir, directed by Mr. F.
R. Ccwden, is to give a Cantata,
entitled, "Easter Praise,” which will
occupy most of the service.
According to a letter received
recently in Nome, William A. Gil
more underwent a more or less ser
ous operation but is now convales
cing in Seattle. His friends say that
he dropped a good bit of money
when the Northern Bank and Trust
Co. went under and closed its doors.
No dull moments at the Cabaret.
The original “Hooligan” will look
out for that.
Dogs are getting scarce. So many
miners made up their mind to leave
in the near future for Marshal or
Dime that they find trouble in gett
ing teams. As a whole lot have left,
they notice none too many good
dogs lying around to be picked up
cheap.
The latest auto sled to make its
appearance is the former tricycle
owned by Engineer Storm of the
power company who left last fall
for the outside and which having
been raffled off was won by Leo
Wittenberg. Leo bas converted the
tricycle into a sled and carries one
passenger with the abandon of a
real auto over the high spots.

It is reported that Frawley ana

This is a very extensive piece of
ground on the submarine and ad
joins the Forsell claim owned by
the Pioneer Mining Co. On both of
these claims many laymen are at
work and have located pay. On
some of this ground the pay found
has been very good.

The Democratic Committee which
met on Wednesday night endorsed
unanimously Paul Kegstead for the
position of U. S. Marshal. The
reason for this action is explained
by one of the Unterrlfled as neces
sary owing to the request of the
higher-ups for a single endorsement
and as they have had no word from
Daly or Corrigan, they don’t know
whether or not they are in the race.
The Committee also appointed a
sub-committee to act in conjunction
with the Chamber of Commerce
to urge the necessity of a Snake
River Harbor, if only as a refuge
for lighter war craft because of war
being declared. Some such argu
ment will be advanced in favor of
the construction of this harbor
without any more ado.

When yesterday it was known
that war had been declared against
Germany, it was the sole topic of
conversation. The probably result
of the war upon local conditions it
is of course too early to determine,
but many mining and business men
fear that it may interfere with the
arrival of supplies for this camp.
That the government may com
mandeer the steamers operating in
these waters during the summer
and leave Nome and this se:tior.
short is too wild a conjecture. As
however there is no knowing what
may transpire and a number of the
subordinate officials are really very
ignorant of Alaskan conditions as
has been proved time and time
again—didn’t one of them write to
the postmaster at Dawson Y T.
from Washington D C. telling him
to send in his quarterly report
without further delay and didn’t
another official write former Post
master Bakke rebuking him for-j.ot
sending in a statement for April
when mail and navigation was not
open here?—it behoves therefore
Nomeites to watch developments
and to keep the departments posted
on the urgent needs of this camp.
One well known mining man ex
pressed the fear that on account
of the rush in all shops for war
purposes, it would be impossible to
get machinery repair parts for
dredges delivered this season, which
is not at all unlikely. The best
advices from the outside indicate
that necessaries and staples have
about reached their high water
mark and cannot go any higher. It
is certain that if they do, they will
practically depopulate the camp.
Ever been to Noo Yok? No?
Well, get a glimpse of it at the
Cabaret Saturday night.
