£ Governor Riggs has not as yet ap
<■ pointed any person to the position of

Gus Melin while down at Snake
river with some freight on his auto
was busy seeing to its loading when
the brakes of the unguarded machine
worked loose and the auto slid grace
fully into the stream where it buried
itself submerging like a submarine.
The owner hurried to town and com
mandeered wrecker Ralston and his
go-devil, which proceeded to the
scene of operations and hauled the re
fractory auto from its watery garage,
taking it up town, n a few minutes
Gus had the auto going just the
same as if it never took a bath.
THERE IS NONE AS GOOD AS BEVO
A. G. Oliver who was en route with
Mrs Oliver to the Outside, stopped off
to visit old friends in Nome yesterday.
He stated that there was not much
activity in the Marshal section.
An instance of the difficulty exper
ienced by mining in this section is
explained by Fred Mebes. He says
that every grocery bill on every sup
ply of goods for his camp the rate on
every staple practically shows an in
crease. This got so bad that while
having lots of ground that could be
exploited, the increase in price for
supplies makes it impossible to do
so. After about three months work
taking out what is opened up, he will
close down.
The Ukiuwak left yesterday for
King Island and Teller,. York and
Wales. It is likely that this boat will
take down the employees of the tin
dredge in that section. A number of
natives were taken to King Island.

The Sea Wolf left for the Outside
via Ketchikan and the Inside passage.
This is the second of the mosquito
fleet to do so. The Wolf carried six
of a crew and a cook. They have
provisions for forty days but hope to
reach the outside long before that i
time. The weather today was very
favorable for its trip thru the Bering <
Sea.
The arrest of a native woman
charged with being drunk and disor- \
derly is good and sufficient reason <
for an investigation from whence that
booze was secured. This will have a
more practical result in putting the t
kibosh on the blind piggers than the ]
Incarceration of their victim. I
The scene at the deck yesterday j
afternoon made it appear as if yes
terday’s was the last sailing of the
Victoria instead of the Becond last. *
Famines and friends of outgoing ,
passengers completely blocked East
Front Street, several hundred at one
time being assembled to depart or to
see their friends depart. There were s
many leaving who have been hers t
ilnce IhOO and who have not made up c
heir minds to leave before the last r
'ew days prior to the sailing. t

many years.

The fifty-seventh native to register
e under the draft law had his name tak
i en down by Board Member Grimm
t this morning. Of the natives who
have registered not more than three
or four claimed exemption of their
[ own accord. Some however have such
large families and so many depend
ents that exemption was claimed for
- them upon these grounds. As to
' what would become of their wives
: and children were they inducted did
not seem to bother these aborigines
at all, trifles of that sort being out
of the scope of their minds. Pre
sumably they believed that they
would be taken care of by those who
remained behind.
The telegraph line south of Fair- 1
banks which was down during the '
past two days or so, was repaired yes- ^
terday and about seven o’clock belat
ed dispatches came tumbling in. An
immense amount of outgoing and in- !
coming work had to be handled by 1
the local operators, who however ap
plied themselves with a will to the 1
task before them of clearing up the ;
congestion which was done in remark
ably short space of time consider '
the size of it. The work was really
one of considerable magnitude and
the wray it was handled speaks vol
umes for the efficiency of the signal
corps staff in the Nome offices.
s Most of the natives who belong to
- Siberia and who have been camping
- fn this land flowing with milk and
, honey on the Sandspit, returned to
? iheir' native haunts at East Cape on
! the schooner Twins, which is owned
by tnree of them there. The Twins
was built at Unalakleet from approv
> ed designs and was a rakish craft
when a few years ago it dropped an
i chor in the roadstead of Nome, brand
new from the native operated yards
at Unalakleet and many a Whiteman
skilled in the art of ship construct
tion expressed his admiration for the
craftsmanship that had built the
schooner. But the Twins was con
structed of native lumber and this
succumbed to shrinkage to an inor
dinate degree so that common caulk
ing was of little avail and heroic
measures were needed to keep the
sad sea waves minding their business
outside and not peering into the in
nards of the craft as they persisted
In doing thru the seams that opened
up in the course of time. When the
Twins arrived in Snake River harbor,
it looked as if it had two or three
actions with a Teuton diver or so. The
j schooner had sacks, cans, rags and so
forth jutting out of the cracks. The
natives effected considerable repairs
to their yacht before returning to
their igloos at East Cape. The Wasp,
it will be recollected, another Una
lakleet boat foundered en route to
Hooper Bay with supplies for the
station there and with Frank Waskey
and others on board. The storm op
ened the seams of the ship and it be
came water logged and finally was
abandoned by those on board whose
experiences after leaving the schoon
er were exceedingly strenuous.

Duffy O’Cpnnor who had every
thing ready for launching the Hettie

time ago, v.as not helped out any in
the southeaster that blew during the
earlier portion of the week. In fact
the storm just caught him ready to
launch and practically all of his toil
some work went for nothing. He Is
still busy getting his boat ready for

Some favored ones were able to
send out mail on the Sherman and
they are trying to determine whether
or not that mail so dispatched will
reach Seattle before or after the Vic
toria at that port.
