MAY LOSE BIO BALL
The threatened loss of the Audi
torium theater building, as the re
sult of foreclosure proceedings, is j
giving Fairbanksans considerable;
worry these days, according to in
formation received from the upper i
town today. The man who holds
the mortgage has announced it as
his intention to tear the building
down as soon as he has become le
gally possessed of the property, and
' the people of Fairbanks are trying
to scheme out a way to save the old
landmark, which, as an amusement
place, is regarded as a very im
portant although unprofitable asset
of the town.
The Auditorium was built by a
building association shortly after the
first big Fairbanks fire, and after
wards turned over to the Northern
Commercial company in liquidation
of debts. J. H. Groves bought the
building later, and by him it was
turned over to a stock company.
The building cost originally about
*23,000 and was sold finally for
less than $5,000.

PUBLISHER IS AILING;
IDITAROD PAPER QUITS
According to information received
at Fairbanks this week by Assistant
District Attorney E. Coke Hill, the
publication of the Iditarod Pioneer
has been indefinitely suspended, the
suspension being chiefly due to the
illness of the publisher. George M.
Arbuckle.
Arbuckle returned to Iditarod last
summer and resumed the publication
of his paper, after a suspension of
many months, but his retirement
from the field this time is for keeps,
according to the information re
ceived by Hill. The paper was is
sued weekly and was about the size
of the daily telegraph bulletin pub
lished in Nenana before the Nenan-*
Daily News made its appearance.
Supervising Engineer H. K. Ward
has resigned his position with the
Alaskan Engineering commission and
left Fairbanks today for the coast.
The illness of his mother is said to
have hastened his departure for the
States. Mr. Ward was stationed at
Fairbanks and had jurisdiction over
the Government railroad as far
south as North Nenana.

STEADY JOB IN
Writing from the coast to friends
in Nenana, Ed Laherty, former em
ploye of the Alaskan Engineering
commission at North Nenana, says
that he has secured a good Go-day
a-year job at an even 100 percent
more daily wage than he received
from the Alaskan Engineering com
mission in Nenana. He has charge
of a sawmill at Port Graham, at the
coast end of Cook inlet.
George Kerin, also well-known in
Nenana, also has a position in the

that the discontent with wages that
in so manifest in this division, pro-1
vails also in the camps on the c >ast
