OVERSTOCKS.
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 on
the basis of goods purchased tne
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. We have proved it oo
others, we can prove it to you.

Snake river is now at its lowest
ebb, and with the decline in the
water the ice is also collapsing so
that huge cracks are to be seen.
When one of these break, the report
sounds like a huge howitzer and
quite alarmed the residents of that
lovely suburb called the Sandspit.
The coal consumption for the
month of December taken in con
junction with the amount of fuel oil
used up about equals that of the
same month in the preceding year.
It must be taken into consideration
that quite a number of houses have
given up the use of fuel altogether,
using steam heat.
On Saturday evening the baro
meter collapsed down to 26.5 and a

yesterday at noon.

M. D. M’Cumber, formerly assist
ant postmaster when Kolash was
local postmaster, is now missing and
his whereabouts unknown either
here or outside. The last heard of
M’Cumber was a telegram to a party
in Nome from Denver which dis
patch called for an immediate re
sponse. This was May a year ago.
The answer was sent within a few
hours but could not be delivered to
the address sent as he was not there.
The Nome party who was the reci
pient of the message then wired to
discover what had become of
M’Cumber and telegraphed to the
address he had given, but the per
sons who had resided there had also
left. Since then letters, etc., have
failed to reach the former assistant
postmaster and recently letters have
arrived here asking if anything is
known of his whereabouts, and
from M’Cumbers home town
and from his folks. It appears
since his disaappearance nothing
has been seen or heard of him.
M’Cumber has extensive quartz and
other holdings in this dictrict, some
of which is of great promise and
’ said to have assayed up very highly.
Kolash was written to, but he also
is unable to discover anything of his
former colleague and can throw no
light upon his present location. It is
somewhat of a mystery and his
friends are now trying to solve it,
but have made no progress so far.

freight that they could offer at the
rate of $13.50 a ton, provided that
they would guarantee a certain
amount before April 1. In his
turn he would suitably guarantee
his side of the contract with the
Nome merchants. The matter created
considerable comment and is now
being taken under consideration.
Mr. Wells gave the meeting (o
understand that iie was a fully res
ponsible person hi the matter. The
Secretary was instructed to wire to
Wickersham regarding hearings be
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and it was ordered that
Tom Ross be appointed representa
tive by wire to act lor the Chamber
before the Risers and Harbors Com
mittee hearings on the Snake river
proposition and a telegram was de
rected to be sent to Wickersham -to
that effect. The secretary was In
structed to wire the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States re
lative to representation in case Jafet
Lindeberg could not attend. The
Entertainment committee agreed to
hold a banquet in the immediate
future and they will meet tomorrow
to further the plans for this end.
The secretary was requested to noti
fy all merchants who are members
of the Chamber that early closing
was, advised except on Saturday,
