A new regulation which went

Fairbanks is to get a divorce
reputation, it seems, that will
rival that enjoyed by Reno, Nev.
Incidentally, too, Judge Bunnell
is in a fair way of getting fame
as a divorce judge.
A letter recently received from
Geo. Goshaw, of Chisina, states

merce, will be held in Seattle on

The body of N. J. Svindseth,of

Nome- Commissioner Frank
Wasky, former delegate to con
gress, is now in this city endeav
oring to form a company to ex
ploit the alleged rich discoveries

The Portland Oregonian says:
Hudson Stuck, archdeacon of the
Yukon, is himself a mountain
climber of renown and he has
only lately ascended Mt. McKin- j
ley, which he thinks best to call
by its Indian name of Denali.
Would that his taste might pre
vail and the beautiful native
names of all the western moun-!
tains be restored. Politicians
might then find some other road
to immortality.
Dave Cascaden, of Fairbanks,
who recently took out a permit
authorizing him to cut 2,000,000

quire interests in the new placer

velop into one of the best camps
discovered in years.
Some day, before very long,
Alaska may get as cheap as any
place else. Thoughtless people
who come from the outside even
now object to paying good prices
for meals and everythirg else,
but they should remember that
that if meals were fifteen cents
wages would be low accordingly.
Let us hope that the democratic
government of the United States
will set a good example. This
does not mean that excessive
Prices should be paid for any
thing. Just enough to keep wages
at a fair figure to compensate
people for coming north.—Sew

If you should spend the 5th at
Knik, to take in the celebration
