A number of sourdoughs who
formerly regarded the light fautistic

see the folly of their ways, and are
now thanks to instructions received
in the terpsichorean art, fairly well
adepts at the most complicated steps

joyeuse”, as Hogan says.
Chas Dahlquist who operates the
Safety asylum for travellers, yclept
a roadhouse, is in town after sup
plies for his well known hotel. This
season, the Safety roadhouse has
justified its name and proved a veri

blizzards that have made the sever
ity of this winter so remarkable in
every way.

The Juneau Empire intimates
that the Territorial Treasury is not
so bloated with wealth as people had
been led to believe. Although they
have been defeated in the District
and Circuit Courts, the cannerymen
will not jar loose their taxes until
they get a decision from the Supreme
Court. With only three courts to play
the litigation game the cannerymen
are somewhat handicapped. Now
if there were two or three more
courts to pass thru, this taxpaying
business could remain unsettled in
definitely.
Clothing cleaned, pressed, altered
and repaired at the Nome Tailoring
Co., Next door, to Segerstrom and
Hagen’s.
The Nome Kennel Club held a
meeting on Saturday last and just to
show it is alive will hold another on
Sunday next. Divers and Sundry
events will then be arranged for, so
that the dogmen may get in and get
busy. This cold weather is just a
bit too cold for dog racing anyhow
and it is nothing but cruelty to
animals to send out some of the
dogs which are not adapted for
standing the very severe tempera
tures that have prevailed. Trails
too are pretty hard for racing.
Fred Larson arrived with the Tel
ler mail at about three yesterday
afternoon, taking three days and a
half with reindeer from the Port
Clarence burg. The day before yest
erday it 'was blowing a living gale
at Gold Run and forty below, so
that mail carrying under such Arctic
conditions was no pic-nie. Larson
also says that Pete Blomquist and
Joe Goodwin had a fierce time on
the trip to Teller. Although but a
mile from Cape Douglas native vill
age, they had to stay' out in the
worst blizzards for 4S hours and ar
rived in Wooley with faces badly
frozen. Their dogs played out on
the way and this made their plight
on the trail quite serious. Gehrman
and son also going to Teller were
storm bound at Wooley for a whole
week having been able to escape the
blizzard which caught Blomquist
and Goodwin. The cold in the Port
Clarence district is defying the sink
ing capacity of the best behaved
thermometers, and the inhabitants
say that they never experienced the
like. Withal Ole Martinisen and
Martin Corliss are making good pro
gress taking out a good sized dump
on their ground on the Bluestone,
about all the productive mining in
that vicinity.
