PENNINGTON SORT
AT TREATMENT OF
Andy Hoey, of the Terminal, re
ceived the following telegram today
from Representative Dunn of Ruby,
relative to the sending of the Xe
r.ana proxies to Donahue: “If'
friends of Pennington have been
disloyal to him, he has repaid them
by being strictly loyal to them, to
his party, and to himself. He was
unanimously chosen chairman of the
Democratic convention here. Grigs
by was elected nominee for dele
gate on first ballot. To wire the
Xer.ana proxies to Donahue was an
undeserved insult to Pennington,
who wishes me to say for him that
he is not working for these who
would stoop to injure a fellow
townsman when he is rot present
to defend himself, but for the g.icd
and true citizens of Xenana. and
he believes they are greatly in the
majority, and he says he can af
ford to pass such insults by without
notice."
.c.
J. J. Buckley, who was recently
appointed fire chief and city magis
trate by the newly-elected city coun
cil of Fairbanks, tendered his res
ignation to that body today after
serving one day.
The reason for his r-signation
has not been made public He re
turned to the position he tormer'y
held with the X. C. company.

Shortly after 9 o'clock this morn
ing the Malamute Kid arrived in
town with the mail and some ex
press. after a particularly hard and
trying trip from the upper town.
The ‘'Kid" left Fairbanks la*t'
Friday morning and when within
about a mile of Chena happened to
get off the trail and break through
the ice, fortunately at a shallow
place. He had two pasengers on
board for Xenana and they, to
gether with the mail and express,
got thoroughly soaked. As the ice
did not look good to the passengers,
they decided to quit the dog stage,
which they did at Chena.
The "Kid" continued his journey
on the river ice. striking the first
open water at the 12-mile bar. The
river was open from bank to bank
there anu he had to make a detour
of about five miles to get across.
From this point he followed the ice
on the river for a distance of about
five miles, when he again encounter
ed open water and had to take to
the land, following -the old mail
trail down to Dietz's, about five
miles above "Eat-em-up" Frank's
place. The mail trail, of course,
was innocent of any snow and the
going, in consequence, was of the
hardest kind imaginable. With three
sacks of sodden mail and several
packages of express, also wet. the
sled pulled hard over the - bare
ground. sometimes strewn with
stumps and other impediments and
progress was necessarily slow.
After a short stay at Dietz' and
traveling partly on ice and partly
on land. "Eat-em-up" Frank's place
was reached, where the night was
spent.
Leaving Frank's next day. the
journey to Xenana was begun on
the ice, and by taking advantage
of every shallow slough and with
the aid of a birch bark canoe to!
negotiate the open water encount- j
ered, the journey was successfully;
accomplished. The journey from1
Fairbanks to Xenana consumed a
trifle over eight days, which consid
ering the difficulties encountered.;
may be considered pretty good.
