Postmaster R. S. McDonald, who
has been trying for several months i
to convince the postoffice depart- <
ment of his desire to give up the
position, has at length been advised
that the matter of his resignation
is being considered. Mr. McDonald
endeavored to secured an adequate
allowance for clerk hire and, fail
ing in that, promptly tendered his
resignation. He does not know how
soon he will be relieved but esti
mates that it will be at least an
other month before his successor
will be installed.
V. Nicholson, who arrived from
the States last week, is now in Fair
banks making preparations to go in
to the Chandlar,, where his brother,

plies into the district from the
Yukon river.
Quarters are being prepared in

end of steel, for the accommodation
of of a first class restaurant, to

part of the month by Mrs. Ed

restaurant outfit were shipped out

, the new Healy enterprise will be
rushed to completion. The Brooker
restaurant in town will be closed.

The minstrel show which- was (
itaged at the Auditorium on Satur- '
lay night, under the auspices of
Borman Baker post, of the American
egion, was one of the most success
ful shows ever given here, the suc
:ess being attributed to the very
»ble management of Messrs. Darling,
Fairborn and Kelly. The house was
packed and the program was one of
thorough enjoyment. The managers
»ay they do not want any persons
to feel sore if they were overlook- J
ed by the minstrel sharpshooters.
They did the best they could.
R. A. Darling acted as interlocu
tor, the setting was imposing and
the jokes were up to date. |
The program included a solo by
Victor Brown, an Italian specialty
by Ed Hering; a one-act skit with
Hal Xozielia in the role of a dry
wet goods merchant, captured by
Buckley Jnd his squad of still hunt
ers; Dr. J. A. Sutherland and Jack
O’Gara, as the two vamps; a solo by
E. H. Mack and a musical finale,
directed by Frank Young. The show
was followed by a dance which last
ed until the small hours of the morn
ing.
Bill McPhee had the distinction of
being the first victim of the vamps.
Martin Pinska is always in troub
le. He stepped on a lady’s toe and
poked her in the eye with his nose.
Vic Brown has a dual vocation.
In addition to being a good jeweler,
he also is a sweet singer. Billy Root
suggested that he got his training at
home, where he has three kids, but
Ed Hering questioned that for, with
his flock at home, he would be a
Caruso if kids improved a man’s
voice.
Charlie Beam was not overlooked, n
and is now on an ice cream diet in jl
consequence. f
Nozielia’s dry song took the house j
by storm.
Joe Miller and Jack Buckley made J
a thrilling capture in their role as
members of the dry squad. ;1
When the two vamps made their fi
appearance on the stage, there was i|
quite a commotion in the audience Ij
and but for the intervention of Chief
Sanderlin there would have been a (j
rush for the fair damsels, headed |
by Ed Wolcott, Martin Pinska and |
Deacon Jones.
The large print of a man in a [j
snow drift is no secret now'. It was <
made by a man of Clifford Smith’s I
size and Einar Tonseth is blamed <
for it. It all took place in front of I
the U. S. Grill. <
Billy Root needn’t take any cat- j
sup. His street car episode and jokes 1
proved that he is not far behind. i
“Lala’’ Burglin, of baseball fame, J
got mixed up in the shuffle some- jj
how and finally they got his goat. \
John Kelly got several bumps be
low the belt by the dry squad. I'
Xozielia wonders how Jim Fair-1
born can fix it for a black man to
go Outside on a White Pass.
For the first time, Bobby Sheldon
had his own way in the political
field. He was chairman, ward heeler
and audience, all in one, until Darl
ing called him to account. Bobby
explained that he was the only Dem
ocrat left in Fairbanks, even Dan
Callahan having become an inde
pendent.
John Moe got several “jolts” dur
ing the show, but they were not of;
the “mule” variety.
Peter Steil is supposed to be dead.
He went to Nenana and then on to
the canyon, and that was the end
of steel.
Poor Tom Deal, the postmaster, J
was accused of duplicity—working,
for the Government and running a j
store on the side, where he displays j
herring and chickens in the windows
Bob Lavery, the grocer, was ac
cused of trying to dispose of Wick
for a ham, to some of his customers.
Deputy Marshal Vawter arrived in
town from Gibbon Friday's train,
having made the trip up river on
court business.
Charles Watson is a creek visitor
in town.
