IN OPHIR CAMP
Owing to the non-arrival of a
freighter laden with supplies for
the Ophir region last summer, sup
plies of all kinds in that district
are very scarce and high prices pre
vail in consequence.
Many of the mining men of the
district are reported to have stam
peded into the Stuvahok country im
mediately after the news of the
strike there had reached them. There
are said to be a very few people
in the Ophir country at the present
time.

IN IIKOYUKUK
Advices received from Fairbanks
this afternoon indicate that the
marshal's office received a wire i
from the deputy marshal at Tanana j
to the effect that Dr. Danforth had !
shot himself at Wiseman, in the j
Koyukuk district, on April 6. His I
dead body was found in his cabin |
by Deputy Marshal Heppenstall of j
the Koyukuk, who had sent word of j
it to the Tanana deputy as soon
as he possibly could. There is no;
telegraphic communication between
the Koyukuk district and any othe I
part of the world.
The late Dr. Danforth was born j
in Ohio, March 16, 1858, and came
North in 1898. He conducted a
hospital at Cleary in the early days
and went to the Koyukuk in 1914,
where he practiced his profession.
During the Republican administra
tion, Dr. Danforth was commis
sioner for the Koyukuk district.
At the time of his death he was
postmaster at Wiseman, where he
also resided.
He was a Mason and also a mem
ber of the Arctic Brotherhood and
the Pioneers of Alaska. He or
ganized the Koyukuk Igloo of Pio-1
neers shortly after he went to that
district.
No details of his suicide, beyond
the fact that his dead body was
found in his cabin, have been re-1
ceived.
NEW WINDOW SHADES
AT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
New window shades have been
fitted on to the easst windows of the j
Grace Presbyterian church, and the'
sharp glare of the sun’s rays from
that direction can now be easily
controlled. These window's were
without any blinds hitherto, and per- j
haps some inconvenience was ex-;
perknc<.J by the congregation, on
occasions, owing to the lack of win- j
dow shades on this side of the
sacred edifice. This has now been;
remedied.

The west side windows were fitted
with awnings some time ago.

RAINFALL EXPERIENCED
IN FAIRBANKS YESTERDAY
According to advices received
this afternoon, quite a shower of
rain was experienced in the upper
town last night, and the ground
was said to be wet this morning.
There was a small shower this after
noon, but not to amount to any-1
thing.
The water flowing over the ice
in the slough is said to have in
creased in volume some. Ther
mometers indicated that it was 44
above at noon today in Fairbanks.

nounce to his patrons that he will

The date of return will be duly
announced later.
PLANS LAID FOR
ENTERTAINMENT
OF THE LADIES
At a meeting of the local Red;
Cross branch, called by its president!
Mrs. F. D. Browne, which was held
at the Bowen building yesterday
afternoon, tentative plans were
formulated for holding an enter-;
tainment and dance in honor of the j
soldiers who have returned from
service with the colors.
The meeting was well attended
and the ladies entered fully into
the spirit of the thing with the
result that a most enjoyable dance
and entertainment may be looked
forward to.
It was decided to hold the enter
tainment and dance at the Union
Hall on Saturday, May 10, and that
it was to be free to those who will
attend. The work entailed in get
ting up a function of this kind was'
split up among the ladies, and each
one of them is going about the work
very enthusiastically.
Due announcement of the affair
will be made later, when the details1
become available.
The entertainment is to be held
before the arrival of the first boat
of the season so that it will include:
all the soldiers who have returned
to the district over the trails. The
ladies plan on repeating the enter
tainment after the arrival of the
last boat of the season, as this will j
probably include all the Alaskan
soldier? who have served with the
colors.

SOME DOPESIERS; -
IS STILL THERE
i
The breakup continues to be the
all absorbing- topic now in compari
son with which even such momentous
affairs as the Italian imbroglio, the
League of Nations and the Demo
cratic- convention pales into insig
nificance.
Professional anti business men, as
well as other ordinary mortals who
call Nenana home, repair regularly
and often to the river bank to read
the signs; and most anytime in the
day or night, small groups may De
seen discussing the great event.
Sourdoughs of various degrees of
sourness are often heard expressing
themselves and laying down the
laws governing breakups for the
benefit of chechacos unenlightened
and ignorant of the ways of the ice.
These sourdough opinions vary
greatly, as a rule and the quality
of the information imparted to the!
chechacos is consequently doubtful
at best; but like all true Northern
ers, they are good gamblers and are
willing to take chances based on
the sourdough opinions taken by
and large and sifted down to what
they think might indicate the time
when the big event will take place. J
Some who banked their little all
on an early breakup now freely ad
mit that the fates were unkind
They wouldn’t dream of blaming
anybody for giving them the wrong
steer. Oh, no.
The disappointed ones, some of i
whom are broke and others badly!
bent, are still game, and are looking j
for chances to buy in on the later j
day chances, and so the game goes j
on. A great many are hitting the j
minute pools, and Dame Rumor says
that many minute pools have sprung
into being since yesterday. Who
knows?
The various reports brought to
town of open water here, there and
everywhere, with cloudy weather,
rain in certain sections of the
country, and possible glacial action
in little known places, all tend to
keep alive the spark of excitement
which the actual breakup alone car.
extinguish.
