cern.
Captain Bell, of the Whitehorse

The Hill block, where the Juneau

Third street from the Behrends Bank,
has been selected for the coming ses
sion of the legislature at a rental of

The mild weather this winter at At
lin has been, a matter of great, satis
faction to the creek miners and they
have taken advantage of it and have
been working their properties to the
utmost. The cleanup next spring will
be above the normal if the weather
beeps as favorable;
According to advices from Fair
banks wolves have been reported for
the first time in many years in the
Fairbanks division. A wood-chopper
on Pearl creek, a tributary of the
-Chena river, recently saw a large tim
ber wolf on the trail. Tracks of these
animals have been seen by several

Mr. Van Valkenberg, the first man

Is confined to the St. Andrews hos
pital. He is considered very ill by

While Ftirbanks farmers in 1918
harvested a short crop as compared
with the production in 1917, they ex
perienced satisfactory marketing con
ditions and they feel so encouraged
that they have cleared more land for
cultivation in 1919. Potatoes and cab
bages were only half a yield, while
other products were atyout two-thirds
of a crop. The decreased yield was
caused by the late Bpring and very
early frost in the fall.
In view of the threatened period of
idleness for themselves and their
stock and the possibility of having to
kill the stock, owing to the high cost
of feed, etc., coupled with what they
consider a very low rate for hauling
supplies to the A. E. C. camps on the
Fairbanks-Nenana line, the teamsters
and stock owners .of Nenana met re
cently to dlsouss matters fully, and
arrive at some plan of action that
may stave off the drastic measures
contemplated.
