possible that the entente powers

It is considered significant that de
spite the efforts of the Germat

King found that they were in Alli
ance with the Turks he refused tc
admit them to friendship and re
jected their offers with contumely.

LOCAL ITEMS.
A letter was received in the last
mail from Kotzebue which stated
that the Barrow mail carrier re
ported that seven whales had been
caught at Barrow in October. The
mail carrier also stated that there
will be no foxes caught this win
ter. The natives have been unable
to catch one, so far, in their traps
and that there are no tracks even
to be seen. A more important item
brought down is to the effect that
the reindeer are dying off of seme
unknown disease, resembling the
rinderpest among cattle. In one
herd alone ninety of the finest look
ing animals succumbed to the
disease and the natives are power
less to strive against its inroads.
The news is also brought that the
government school teacher at Kotze
bue, Miss Hawke married an old
timer of the Yukon from the ’96
days to wit: A1 Thompson, who
has a fine home in the Kobuk
whither he and she have repaired
