Gus Wheeler arrived on Friday

in order to get home to Iron creek
for the Xmas celebration which
will be seasonable and elaborate at

Sam Dippel and Herman Quesky
arrived on Saturday from the
Bowery claim. They disclaim the
correctness of the reports that there
was more gold than gravel in their
mine, and say that if they take out
wages they will do very well.
It is stated that Sandspitters are
promised a bridge in the spring it
they pay their taxes now. The
Sandspit is in a peculiar situation.
This Cinderella among suburbs has
been cast off by the city by special
ordinance, denied fire protection, po
lice patrol, roads, snow clearing and
any of the conveniences of which
the city proper boasts, and the city
has the nerve to try to collect taxes
just the same.

Last night the Miners Union held
its annual smoker with the usual
pleasant time spent by all who were
present. There was no shortage of
good things to eat and drink and a
feast of reason and flow of soul ac
companied the more material liba
tions which were offered to the so
cial gods last night. There were
several able addresses given and the
entertainment was a most enjoyable
one. The members of the union came
from near and far to aid in making
this annual re-union another mark
ed success, and the committee in
charge of the arrangements deserves
a special word of commendation for
their tireless efforts to leave nothing
undone which would tend to add to
the pleasure and success of the even
ing. A success it surely was, and
is a marked tribute to the strength
and vitality of unionism in this
camp. Old Local 240 W. F. M. still
does business at the old stand, and
the devotion of its members to the
organization grows with the years
that pass.
The Miners’ Smolc»r and Xmas
brought in quite a large number
from the creeks, and the town
Saturday evening was quite throng
ed with the miners and others wno
came in for the holidays.

The Pioneer Roof Garden on
Saturday night attracted quite a
large number as usual for this an
nual event. Mrs. Tiffany was the
chief attraction with her Leap Year
skit which showed that she is still
the most popular lady in Nome. All
the other events on the program
were well rendered and deserved
the applause which greeted the per
formance. The hall was tastefully
decorated and the arrangements
were most satisfactory so that if
every one present did not spend an '
enjoyable evening it was not the
fault of the committees in charge.
COMM tM GATED.
I The Editor, Industrial Worker.—
Sir:—A recent letter from Dime
creek conveys the information that
the citizens of that erstwhile baili
wick are entertaining many different
opinions in reference to the fact that
as yet no appointment has been
made to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Judge Wachenheimer.
Some express the opinion that the
coffers of the Council precinct will
be again fattened by the annual col
lection of fees—due about this time
—before judicial dignity will again
add luster to Haycook.
Others claim that the citizens of
that prosperous camp are the vic
tims of judicial discrimination or
neglect or both and that the powers
that be do not comprehend that the
people of Dime creek are at least en
titled to the same consideration
and support as that extended to
other precincts of smaller magnitude
both in population and output.
A number whose visions of such
matters are clouded usually by parly
or factional sentiment assert that at
present there are no devotees wor
shipping at a certain political shrine
who are qualified to administer the
high functions of the office with that
grace, dignity and solemnity that
some consider so essential and
which is such a charming character
istic of the gentleman from the
Kobuk.
It is generally recognized that the
miners of Dime creek will suffer
great convenience, discomfort and
expense so long as the Commission
er’s office at that place remains
closed. Why they should bear those
handicaps is not at all clear to ordi
nary minds. There may be some
good and logical reason for it, but
it is still a profound mystery to the
great wide world as well as to the
good people of Haycock. The ap
pointment of a commissioner might
convince some of the miners at
Dime creek that they still enjoy all
the rights, privileges and immunities
i
I
of American citizens.
Yours etc.
