FAIRBANKS OFFERS $1,000 CAN
WALK CHITINA SEVEN DAYS.
With the bud of spring conies the
desire for outside sports, and one man
well known In Fairbanks and on the
creeks, offers to wager a thousand
dollars that he can walk from Fair
banks to Chitina in seven days or
less. The distance Is 310 miles, so
that it would be necessary for him
to average 44 2-7 miles daily. And he
would have to make this time regard- J
less of storms or the condition of the
trail.
Some of his friends say he cannot |
do it, and others assert that he can. !
No one, so far, lias been found who is |
willing to take up his offer and cover j
the money.—Kairbank* News-Miner. ;

Manuel Valojo. a resident of Doug
las, from the land of Manana, with a
jail record as long as the pedigree of
a prize winning alredalle, Is in the
tolls again because of his gallantry in
assuaging the thirst of one "Black
Mary," a native daughter. Mary was
confined In the city jail for a period
of twenty days for having become In
toxicated, contrary to the law, but her
thirst still prevailed, nnd Valejo. who
had occupied an adjoining cell, as soon
as he got out, secured a couple of bot
tles of booze and pnssed them through
the bars to Mary. The jailer found
Mary very much under the weather,
and as a result of her confession Vale
jo is now facing a long term of con
finement after an Interview with the
hated jefe politico of the cursed grin

The grand Igloo of the Order of
Pioneers of Alaska, which meets In
| Juneau on March 29, will he called
j u|>on to decide whether membership
| In the order shall remain restricted
| to those who came north prior to
I January 1, 19ni, or whether all who
have lived In Alaska for fifteen years
can become members. The proposal
to open the doors of the order to pio
neers of more recent vintage will be
laid before the grand Igloo by Luther
C. Hess, Andrew Nerland and O. P.
Gaustad, delegates from the Fair
banks Igloo, who are now in Juneau.
At a recent meeting in Fairbanks
this matter was brought before the
pioneers in the shape of n proposal
that the grand Igloo be asked to
amend the constitution so as to pro
vide that men who have been in Alas
ka fifteen years are eligible for mem
bership, or shall attain eligibility af
ter they have resided in the territory
for that length of time. The consti
tution at present says that no one is
eligiide to membership In the order
who did not arrive in Alaska prior to
January 1, 1901. The supporters of
the proposition, in putting it before
the Igloo, pointed out the fact that
such an amendment would keep the
order well supplied with new members
at all times. It is understood that
they took the idea from the Fairbanks
Igloo of Pioneer Women, who incor
porated the fifteen year residence
clause in their constitution, which was
approved by the Grand Igloo of Pio
neers last year, when the Igloo became
the auxiliary of the Fairbanks Pio
neer Igloo.
Many other legislators are delegates
to the Grand Igloo meeting. The
grnnd president is Cecil H. Clegg, of
Fairbanks, but will be called lo order
by the vice-president because it is
not expected that Mr. Clegg will be
able to go to Juneau for the conven
tion.
