1111 LOST III
BLIZZARD AT
■
Mr*. Emmn Dalqulst. proprietress of
the lavorite roadhouse about half way
between Nome and Solomon, was
frozen to death last week during n
terrific blizzard. She left the road
! house Sunday with her dog team for
a ride. Shortly after leaving the bllz
znrd came up suddenly, and it is pre
sumed she became bewildered and lost
her way. A*s she failed to return
home Sunday night an alarm was sent
out and Scotty Allen and several old
timers started out in search for the
woman. The search resulted in the
finding of the frozen body of the*wo
man at Mile 15, near the Cape Nome
road. It seems certain that the un
fortunate woman became mentally un
balanced by the severe blizzard and
cold in which she was caught after
leaving the roadhouse behind her
dogs, for she had throwu away mittens
and mueklucks.
Mrs. Dalquist was well known in
N- me. She was formerly Emmn
Christy and resided at Salomon. About
a year ago she married Chris Dalquist.

LIMITING SALOONS
FOUNDIMPOSS
Judge Bunnell will not limit the
number of saloon licenses In Fair
banks, as suggested by the city coun
cil. He explained to representatives
of the council that he could not legally
do so, and that if the saloons are to
be limited in the city, it should be ac
complished by the failure of people to
sign the petitions for saloons.
At the meeting of the council last
Monday night, a committee consisting
of Mayor Smith, Councilman Lorent
zen and City Attorney Marquam, was
appointed to call upon the court and
find out if he could limit the saloons.
It was explaned in the meeting by Mr.
Horentzen that the saloon owners
feared that a disreputabl. element of
saioonmen will crowd in! 'airbanks,
now that some of the states Outside
have gone dry, and thus tie old-timers
would be crowded out I rbanks

INTERESTING HISTORY
EARLY DAYS ALASKA
Prof. F. A. Oolder, of the State Col
lege of Washington, who recently re
turned from Russia, is at the national
capital working up his report to the
Carnegie Institution on his discoveries
In Russian archives concerning the
early history of Alaska. The Carnegie
Institution sent him last year to St.
Petersburg to conduct researches In
the government archives of Alaskan
historical material. I
Prof. Oolder returned by way of the
Transsiberian railway several weeks
ago. He brought with him a complete
photograghlc copy of the diary and log
book of Vitus Tiering, the discoverer
of Alaska, together with a number of
priceless original documents and
photographic copies of others.
All of this will be contained In his
report to the Carnegie institution,

cured later will appear in an hlator
leal work ho has planned, which will
supplement his recent work on “Rus
sian Kxpnnsion on the Pacific.”
During the spring Prof. Colder will

GERMANS ECONOMIZING
IN LUG EXPENSES
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
BERLIN, March 3—Berlin is the
scene at this time of numerous meet
ings, largely attended by women of
every class, al which ways and means
of more economical living are dis
cussed by prominent physicians.
The women are being urged to cut
down the consumption of meat by at
least 15 per cent, and to resort more
to the use of milk. The women are
asked to think of the men in the field
and the hardships they have to en
dure, if economy in eating seems to be
too difficult.
One physician, speaking the other
night, likened the situation to that of
the tourist, who perforce must at
times make a meal from chocolate and
bread until more favorable circum
stances arrive. He told his audience
that they were mere slaves to appetite
f they were not able to elect easily
to eat of the scarcer foods.
Soup in place of coffee for the early
norning breakfast is being urged by
some physicians, especially for adults,
ind then the omission of the German
'second breakfast,” to the consequent
laving of thousands of pounds of food
ituffs.

IUNEAU LAND OFFICE
RECEIVES BOOKLET
A. Christensen, chief of the field
livis. n of the land department of
Alaska, is in receipt of an illustrated
booklet showing many of the improved
homesteads in the territory. Pre
facing the booklet is a letter by Mr.
Christensen to the interior department
in which he strongly urges congress
to reduce homestead areas in Alaska
from 32rtto 160 acres.
Delegate Wickersham’s bill, H. R.
13,487 contained a clause reducing the
homestead area, but this, as well as
many other provisions of H. R. 13.487
was slashed out of the amended bill,
leaving the clause providing that sec
tions 16 and 36 should be reserved
as school land a sabout the only thing
of importance in the measure.
Mr. Christensen believes that a re
duction of the homestead area was
Did is one of the urgent needs in Al
aska. In his wide travels over the
territory last summer he had abundant
opportunity to study this particular
phase of the land question, and he has
given Ms expert opinion that (the
growth of farm settlement would be
enhanced and the development of the
country hastened, by cutting down the
homestead allotments from 320 to 160
acres.
