' That the present storm did not come

Duffy O’Connor has been working

driven on the beach neir the Ernst
Dredge. The low water has greatly
increased the difficulties of launching
the schooner, but the boat has been
full overhauled where it was on the
bench and awaiting high water to
again take to the waves
A NON-INTOXICATING DRINK
THAT SATISFYS—BEVO
Ben Nelson, the well known pio
neer beach minor, admits that he too
has been handicapped by the water
shortage. This spring he construct
ed a ditch to keep him in more plen
tiful water supply but the long spell
of dry weather has not helped him out
any. He had trouble too when the
last wet spell was on in having one of
his ditches break just when he was
busiest at his sluicing.
THERE IS NONE AS GOOD AS BEVO
The Victoria has been greatly
hampered by weather ocnditiona in
the work of unloading its cargo at
other places than Nome. The delay
has occasioned the passengers who
arc going out on this boat some incon
venience as many had prepared for'
sailing last Thursday and stowed
away everything needed for the trip.
Some had dismantled their homes for
the winter and have had to house
keep under somewhat make shift con
ditions since that time.

Councilman Tornutzer while mak
ing an inspection of the lights of the
city found that some sharpshooter in
the vicinity of the Standard Oil had
made one of the city lights a target,
and being quite a rifle expert, had
handed the globe and the shade sev
eral bullets which had smashed the
equipment completely. Should this
miscreant be ever located it is likely
he would bo denied an opportunity of
practicing with his rifle for a consid
erable number of moons.
The storm raging today along the
coast is no doubt a pre-equinoctical
one. The Autumnal Equinox occures
on Sept. 23, and a storm happening
within a week of that event is consid
ered as due to the sun’s crossing the
equator from north towards south.
Why this should upset the equilibrium
of the atmosphere has not been de
termined. Some observers claim that
storms are no more frequent at the
equinoxes than at any other time. The
barometer Is at present down to 28.90
inches, which is very low, and indi
cates a storm of some duration. In
the big storm of 1913 the glass went
down to 29.25.
The Victoria has been consideably
delayed by the storm from the north
and the latest advices v- >re to the
effect that the boat would not reach
Nome before Friday. A delay of this
kind at his time of the year is most
unusual for the north wind before
October and near the end of that
month, is seldom know to blow for
more than two consecutive days. At
this time of the year southeasters or
southwesters are the general wind.

The Grand Jury went into session
this morning after Court had read
the insctructions to that body. Cy
Carmen was appointed foreman of the
jury. The new bailiffs, C. (Lucky)
Peterson and Chris Gudmanson were
also duly sworn.
After the Grand Jury had retired,
the case of Russell et al. versus Linde
berg et al., came before thq court
the attorneys stating that stipula
tions had been entered into between
the plaintiffs and the defendants dis
missing the suit against the Miners
and Merchants bank who had been co
defendants in the case, without pre
judice to the remaining suit and a
stipulation agreeing upon August 4
as the date of trial. The Court made
orders accordingly. The court ad
journed until ten o’clock tomorrow,
subject to the call of the Grand Jury.
The possibility of the Territory or
Congress securing possession of the
ICougarok railroad is still not de
spaired of by a good many who have
still hopes that the immensely import
ant line may be acquired for the de
velopment of the interior sections.
This road taps a highly mineralized
section of Alaska which is far from
being worked out, and it is under
stood that the owners are willing to
dispose of the road at a reasonable
price somewhere in the neighborhood
of $2500 a mile. No road could be
built at so reasonable a rate and it
would be difficult to appraise the loss
to the territory tributary to it should
the road follow the fate of the Coun
cil City and Solomon river road, be
dismantled and the steel shipped out
side. It would take considerable
money to rebuild bridges and again
place the right of way in repair, but
at that the road i^ in much better
shape considering everything than
might be expected.
A Bonham, official mediator for the
Department of Labor will be a pass
enger on the outgoing Victoria. He
has been unable within the short
time at his disposal to adjust the
local labor troubles and reports that
both sides show no signs: of willing
ness to concede anything from the
position which they have taken up
since spring. The miners hold that
when they do not ask for any increase
in wages on the shortened work day,
they have made a concession which
iR of great importance in itself. Con
sidering the fact that the wage scale
is the same today as it was in 1900,
this must be frankly admitted as a
very substantial concession indeed.
The lateness of the season when work
is practically over, the departure for
the Oustide of so many men who made
the original demands for the eight
hour day and the fact that practically
all union men are working for the
8 hour day at the regular union sca'e
makes the work of conciliation rath
er unusual in many of its features.
Mr Bonham has collected a consider
able amount of data on the local la
bor situation which will be doubtless
embodied in the report which he will
make to his Department. He has
succeeded in securing the good will
of the miners at any rate who have
afforded him every information that
they could on the situation.
_J__
Cap Thompson who arrived on the
Trader states that an abundant quan
tity of flour and sugar was brot up
the Siberian coast by the Russian
boat, the flour costing $3.50 per hun
dred pounds, but in barrel lots this
was reduced to $3 per hundred weight
The flour was Manchurian and the
sugar Chinese exported cane sugar.
Thompson mentions the fact that
since the revolution six hours has con
stituted a day's work thruout Russia
and Siberia. Meat is plentiful’ In Si
beria, but no reindeer meat is sold in
large quantities and only in small
lots and direct to consumers. The
natives trade a reindeer quite cheap
ly but will not dispose of any quan
tity and the export of the carcases is
prohibited. Owing to having a some
what defective receiver in the Anadir
wireless station the radio men there
have been unable to communicate
with Vladlvostock. This has been un
fortunate for the coast as they have
been unable to make their wants
known. He has however an order
from them at Anadir to endeavor to
obtain from the local radio station
at Nome a better receiver so that this
difficulty can be obviated. Thompson
states as a fact that feeling against
Germans and German sympathizers
runs very high in Anadir.
