ABOUT ALASKA
Snows in the Interior have been un
usually deep this year.
M. H. Holt has charge of the Carle
ton store at Nome for the winter.
Four mails arrived at Fairbanks re
cently from four different directions.
Charles Dahlquist has opened the
4 old Cape Nome roadhouse and has
stocked it with supplies for the winter.
The launch Rupert made a trip from
Nome to Golovin bay to pick up the
last of the herring pack, which was
sent out on the Victoria.
The overland winter mail service
started from Nome on November 14.
It goes over the long winter trail to
H>the mouth of the Yukon, thence to
Fairbanks, thpn to the Coast, a round
about way, but the only one to be
had.
The schooner Jewel Guard made the
trip from Nome to Teller with sup
plies for the camp just before navi
gation closed. This will be the latest
trip in many years to the Teller sec
tion, the date of sailing being No
vember 14.
^ Lumber prices are expected to take
a sharp advance of from two to three
dollars in the near future, according
to information received from the
States by many dealers. Common lum
ber has been selling at $29 per thou
sand feet, board measure, in South
eastern Alaska, and this probably will
bp raised to $35.
Joe O’Connor of the Terminal went
from Nenana to Fairbanks recently,
and while eating at the Model a fish
bone became lodged in his throat,
and for a time it was feared that he
was going to die. A few moments
more delay and he would have choked
to death. Dr. J. A. Sutherland arrived
in time and extricated the offendiyg
fishbone.
Alex Gustavson, veteran mining op
erator and freighter of the Fortymile
district, is busy this winter hauling
supplies from Dawson and Fortymile
to Dennison Hill, Chicken creek and
other camps. Gus recently arrived in
* Dawson from a bigger trip with a nose
the color of a Brother Jonathan apple
and fingers twisted and warped by the
cold; but he gamely loaded up and
started on another trip.
Ketchikan doctors have announced
a raise in prices. Out of the office
calls are to be $3 in the future. Taxi
eharges will be added to the bill. Of
fice and night calls will be the same
as in the past, $2.50 and $3. The
charge for normal confinement cases
will be $50. Doctors say their ex
penses have increased from 50 to 300
per cent, and that the new rates have
i* been made uniform with those in the
States.
A native named Perry of Nome was
fined for wife-beating. The evidence
disclosed that Perry’s brunette wife
. looked too long and often at her pale
face neighbors, which was an act not
to be tolerated for a moment. So the
jealous husband took a club and in
culcated a love of home and husband
in his wife’s breast. All would have
ended as it should, but the man was
arrested by the hotel keeper and was
given a $20 fine or jail sentence. He
paid.
Between $1,500 and $2,000 worth of
genuine liquor was seized at the Taku
Club at Ketchikan recently, some of
the stuff being bonded stock, evidently
cached before the recent epidemic hit
Alaska. George Radenbaugh, propri
ieor of the place, was arrested, but
was later released on his own recogni
sance. The liquor was found secreted
in the walls, where boards had been
removed and the bottles placed be
tween the studding. Considerable
hootch of various degrees of poten
^ tiality was also taken.
The annual election of officers \ f
the Nenana Igloo, Pioneers of Alaska,
took place recently, with a large num
ber of old-timers on hand to partici
pate in the imoprtant proceedings. The
officers elected were: Martin Nash,
president; J. A. Slippern, treasurer;
Frank Rourke, secretary; Ed Williams,
chaplain; J. A. Dyer, historian; V. O.
Green, sergeant at arms; Fred Mc
Guire, doorkeeper; Matt Sweeney,
trustee for three years. Senator Dan
Sutherland addressed the meeting.
The Iditarod Pioneer, in speaking of
the splendid mail service inaugurated
by the postoffice department, says:
“It is now thirty-eight days since the
winter mail service started over the
far-famed Cordova - Fairbanks - River
Ruby-Iditarod-Flat-sureshot-never-miss
fire-continued-in-our-next route, and no
through mail as yet. There is no mis
taking the fact that that is the great
get-there plan for prompt delivery. If
500 miles is a good thing to add to a
dog-team mail route, why not put on
about a thousand more miles and give
the mail a little journey to Kotzebue
sound via the Koyukuk country? This
suggestion (which is exceedingly
silly) is just as reasonable as the pres
ent frame-up.
Ed Ahola and N. W. Holm, who
were arrested at Ketchikan Christmas
day, are living examples of a benefi
cent Santa Claus. According to the
two men, they just woke up Wednes
day morning and there was liquor in
the room. They did not know how it
got there or where it came from, but
just naturally could not resist sam
pling it, and pronounced it a work of
art. The two men became so elated
over their good luck that their joy
awoke the neighbors and they were
gagthered in and taken before a just
judge to explain it to the law. They
insisted, however, that the liquor was
a gift from Santa, and one which they
would have chosen above all others.
They were fined $20 and costs.

THE BIBLE
This book contains the mind of God,
the state of man, the way of salva
tion, the doom of sinners, and the
happiness of believers. Its doctrines
are holy; precepts binding; histories
true; decisions immutable. Read is
to be wise', believe it to be safe, and
practice it to be holy. It contains
light to direct you, food to support
you and comfort to cheer you. It’s
the Christian charter. Christ is its
Grand Subject. Our good its design,
and glory of God its end. It should
rule the heart and guide the feet.
Here Heaven is opened and Hell dis-'
closed. Will reward greatest labor
and condemn those who trifle with it.
Read it slowly, frequently and prayer
fully. Then come and study with us
