Sample Consignment Arrives and
Rivals Product of Karshner s
Springs—Springs to be Stocked
Clement Anderson and Gus Brown
arrived last evening in a small boat di
rect from the Hudgin Hot Springs via
Ray river. They brought down some
samples of the turnips, beets and cab
bages grown there this summer. The
produce will compare with any grown
at the Karshner springs at Baker and
far excells any grown in the States.
One of the turnips measures 23-inches
in circumference and weighs over «?gix
pounds. The cabbage and beets are
particularly fiine, the former being firm
and crisp and weighing from five to
ten rounds.
Dr. Huugin will have a boat load of
produce on sale on the next trip down,
the mammoth assortment brought this
trip is on exhibition at the Postoffice.
The doctor is sending up a lot of chick
ens sent up and will install several in
cubators which will operate by natural
from the hot springs. Preparations
are now being made to stock the farm
next spring with sheep, cattle and hogs.
He will also ship his marten and com
mence breeding them at the springs.
The doctor has been experimenting dur
ing the past year with the water of the
springs and finds it highly mineralized
and valuable in rheumatism and skin
diseases. He plans a sanitarium at the
springs.
Twenty-five miles of road will be con
structed from the springs, to the Y ukon
and at this point—12 miles above the
Pioneer coal mine—a small trading
post and cold storage is planned. The
beef, mutt n, pork and’ other farm
products will be shipped from this post.
The doctor believes that a large trade
can be worked up, and that a generous
patronage is awaiting the man who can
supply Yukon points with such native
products.

Chas. B. Allen Will
Prefer Charges
i
Chas, B. Allen returned from a trip
to Tanana on the Lavelle Young, He
attended to some business matters and
returned prior to his intended visit to
Fairbanks to prepare charges against
Commissioner J. Lindley Green for the
! perusal of Judge Wickersham. Sever
al years ago charges were filed against
Commissioner J. Lindley Green but he
only received a liberal coat of white
wash.
In speaking of his intention Mr. Al
len said: * ‘I am forced to bring these
charges to secure the removal of Com
missioner Green on account of his at
titude towards myself, or leave this
.camp. It it impossible for me to obtain
justice in his court, and my clients are
made to suffer on account of Green’s
animosity toward their attorney. Any
one who has any charges or complain ts
to make can- bring them to me. and I
will put them in shape without charge. ’ ’
Mr. Allen refused to discuss the nat-.
ure of the charges, but they are sup
posed to be serious.
Walter Bulkley Meets Tom Cale
• The following extract is taken from
a letter received in Rampart from Mr.
Walter Bulkley at Nome:
* ‘I met Tom Cale and Frank Waskey,
the Nome candidate for the short term.
I believe that they will be elected as
everyone likes Cale. He is about 58
years of age and seems to understand
his mission. 1 haven’t heard a word
against him and I consider him worthy
of your support. If the miners of the
Yukon and Nome district vote for
them they will surely be elected.”
Walter Bulkley.
Rev. Mr. Totty. Moosehide mission

courthouse tomorrow night. Mr. Totty
is a son-in-law of Capt. Mayo and with
his wife and family 13 visiting the old

Jack Radigan Seeks Location
At The New Baker Townsite
Jack Radigan is now on a trip to the
new Manley townsite at the Hot springs
to secure a saloon location. Already it
is admitted that the trade across the
divide is lost to Rampart and several
local concerns are casting eyes toward
Manley’s camp. Dave Scott quotes
Manley as saying that next spring he
extend an invitation to the people of
Rampart to come over and live with
him and to every one who responded he
would present a building lot.
A. H. Woods is head carpenter for
the new Baker townsite.
