INFORMATION WANTED:—Mr
Paul Clay is requested to communi
cate with Carl Heinzen, 305 S. La
Salle Street, Chicago on a mutually
important matter. Friends not.ring
this advertisement will confer a
favor by directing the attention of
Mr Clay hereto.
A letter from the Outside says that
four former Nomeites died in Seattle
in one week: llrs J. Giese, Ohas Dun
kin, George Murphy and J Irwin.
Irwin was formerly foreman with the
Alaska Road Commission. A couple
of years ago he contracted a disease
of the cheek bone which turned out to
be a cancer and surgical help was un
availing to cure him. He has been
lingering along ever since he left
Nome, and last winter was merely the
shadow of his former self. Death
must have come at last as a relief
to the man’s sufferings.
The whereabouts of that transport
everyone was talking about a week
ago is till one of the unsolved mys
teries of all and sundry.

The rain that has fallen during the
past 24 hours is beginning to make
: itself felt and the creeks are all ris
ing to the highest point since the
| break up this spring. There is no
shortage of water now in any vicinity
and work is opening up in a number
of places, late as the season is.
M. O. Solberg has been appointed
by Governor Riggs or rather by the
Department of Commerce on the re
commendation of Governor Riggs,
deputy warden of the Fisheries Bur
eau without extra pay. His duty will
be to watch the fur production, its
export and import and the protection
of the local fisheries will also fall
into his hands hereafter.
The Governor's office has been ap
pealed to for assistance in the search
for Mr Ben Stickney of Winnemucca,
Nevada, who is described as 40 years
of age, fi feet in height, and as hav-^
ing brown hair, blue eyes and the
middle toe of his right foot missing.
Mr Stickney is thought to be in
Alaska and his mother, Mrs H. C.
Eggleston, Box 444 Winnemucca, Ne
vada, is very anxious to learn of his
whereabouts.
Anyone knowing anything tbout Mr
Stickney is asked to kindly communi
sate with this office or with Mrs Egg
leston.
A similar appeal has been received
from Mrs Sarah E. Andrews, 219 E.
17th street, Flatbush, Brooklyn, N. J.,
who has been trying to locate Mr.
Edwin Jay Snider, who stated in a
letter written at San Francisco, in
1914, that he was going to Alaska.
He is described as 25 years of age,
5 feet 8 inches in height, and as
having dark hair and eyes.
Any information concerning Mr
Snider will be appreciated.
Owing to the indisposition of Rev
Father Post, Mass will be celebrated

Exceptionally large runs of salmon
were the rule in the Kotzebue section
according to arrivals on the Arctic
from the northern camp.
Dr Walsh and Mrs Walsh after so
journing several years in the Candle
section will leave for the Outside on
the Victoria. Dr Walsh was formerly
located at Council where he conducted
the hospital in association with Dr
Ramsey for a still longer period. In
the departure of Dr Walsh the Seward
Peninsula loses a skilful surgeon and
an able physician.
Communications from the Outside
reveal two outstanding facts. Labor
is growing scarcer all the time, while
grub is reaching the topmost rung
of Jacob's ladder and threatens to
shove the Hallelujah chorus that is
squatted on top off their perch. Some
high, all right.
DELICIOUS FRESH STRAWBER
RIES 25 CENTS PER BOX AT
LEHMANN’S. 4
Mr Bell, the manager of the Bell
Mining Co. on Arctic creek, was an
arrival on Thursday for supplies, mail
etc. At that time there was an ob
solute shortage of water which had
seriously curtailed the extensive op
erations of this company, but he was
hopeful that the copious rains that,
were ihen expected would replenish
the streams and that they would ha.ve
enough water to carry on effective
operations until the freeze up. He re
ports hat generally speaking the
same conditions prevail thruout the
Oregon creek section although Gumm
and partners were endeavoring to
ground sluice with a small stream of
water still available. With the heavy
rains of the past 24 hours there
should be no complaint on account
of the water shortage.
Next Monday will be a public Holi
day, being the National Labor day.
It wiM be celebrated as usual in Nome
by the banks closing and the govern
ment employees rigidly observing the
sacred day. So far it has not been
ascertained that any employers have
determined to suspend work on this
day with full pay to their workmen
so that they can fittingly celebrate the
annual holiday in honor of American
labor. At least judging by the estab
lished precedent labor will stay on the
job or get. its walking papers.
Because many persons who are going
outside on the last fleet fear that in
their absence their cabins may be torn
down during the winter by someone
or another who may be short of fire
wood or fuel, as occurred during the
winter past, Councilman Tornutzer
has a plan to prevent any such thing
happening. He has under considera
tion the introduction of an ordinance
which will require any person desir
ing to pull down a cabin to obtain a
permit from the City Clerk who will
ascertain before granting the same
that the person making such applica
tion is the proper owner of the cabin
or building which he desires to tear
down. In this way any trouble will
be removed from this source.
Arrivals from Candle report hat
the Territorial Road Commission is
doing good work in the Candle dis
trict where the construction of a road
up Candle creek is in charge of Alec
M'lntosh. The road is an extension of
the construction work undertaken by
the Alaska Road Commission last
year and goes up Candle creek along
this survey to No 7 Gulch, so that it
will be considerable aid to mining op
erations in that section. Using wil
ows and brush as an underneath cour
duroy with gravel and earth on
top of these a good road is being
built, Approximately four thousand
dollars will be spent before the work
is completed.
