'“ALABAM” FREEZES TOES;
DOCTOR AMPUTATES TWO
1 “Alabam” La Boyteaux, well
known mining man of the Tanana
valley, left Brooks recently to go
out into the woods and fetch in the
carcass of a moose which he had
i shot last fall and cached away,
i While out, a severe cold snap set in
and “Alabam” had to siwash it for
| three nights, with the result that
j he froze some of his toes.
Doctor Martin amputated one of
: the frozen toes, but it is expected
that he will have to amputate an
other also.
The sun on longer days will make
you feel like throwing away your
old hat and suit. Certainly those
old spots do not improve your ap
1 pearance, but for a trifling sum you
can have them pressed, mended and
cleaned at Mrs. D’Orsay’s Tailor
j Shop, Third and A streets.

A! MOOSE DANCE
TOMORROW NIGHT
The entertainment commitee of
the local Moose lodge, who have
been working hard to complete ar
rangements for the barn dance to
be held at the Union Hall tomorrow
night, immediately after the picture
: show, announceed today that every
thing is now ready for the big event
and that there only remain the
finishing touches to be put on, and
that the floor will be in fine shape.
It is to be strictly a barn dance
in every sense of the word, and
those who contemplate attending
are again requested to don overalls,
etc., to be more in keeping with
the usual country garb and farmlike
surroundings. Sunday clothes and
boiled shirts will not be tolerated.
Two automobiles at least will
leave Fairbanks tomorrow morning
with several members of the fair
sex from the upper town, who are
making the trip for the special pur
pose of attending the Moose barn
dance, and all indications locally
point to the fact that there will be
a large attendance of ”rubes“ and
country girls.
The Coliseum orchestra will sup
ply the music, and a choice selection
of the most popular tunes has been
made.
The price of admission will be
one dollar for “rubes”, with the
country girls, of course, being ad
mitted free.
Dancing will start just as soon
as the orchestra reaches the hall
and will be kept up for as long a
time as the dancers would care to
keep the floor.

George Clemenceau, “The Tiger”

school during his early manhood.
He also held positions as messenger

Harry Karstens auto got away
from town this morning for Fair
banks with R. F. Roth and Nels;
Peterson as passengers.
The Burgess auto left Fairbanks
this morning with Jake Bender and
Ole Hjelvik as passengers. At the'
Ohio roadhouse the auto was joined ,
by Mrs. Oscar Rothenburg, who is K
returning home, after a few days!
spent at the roadhouse.
The filthiest city on earth is sup
posed to be Puri, on the Bay of
Bengal, in the province of Orissa.
The population consists of about
30.000 Hindus who live in 7000
houses, in comparison to which our
worst tenement houses are palaces
of health and beauty. When the
festival of the Juggernaut car oc
curs, 100,000 pilgrims jam them
selves into Puri, cholera makes its
appearance, and it is not an unusal
thing for the mortality to run from
12.000 to 50,000.
The nearest town to the SoutJ*
Pole is, curiously enough, twice as
far as is the nearest town to the
North Pole. Hammerfest, Norway,
is generally accepted as the most
northerly town in the world, and
is 1500 miles from the North Pole.
But Ushuaia in Tierra del Fuego
Territory, a province of the Ar
gentine Republic, is the most south
ernward city in the world. But that
is nearly twice as far from the
South Pole as Hammerfest is from
the North Pole.
( Mrs. Oscar Rothenburg, who went
; up tothe Ohio roadhouse for a few
'days, returned on the auto today.

PRIVATE TEAMS
FINISH HAULING
FOR COMMISSION
The several privately owned
freighting outfits, which had been
engaged in hauling supplies from
Nenana to the camps and supply
depots along the Nenana- Fairbanks
line, having done the work en
trusted to them far more expedi
tiously than figured on by the offi
cials of the Alaskan Engineering
commission, and in consequence,
these teams will probably have to
remain idle, temporarily at least.
The A. E. C. officials figured on
a freighting program which was
calculated to iast until almost the
time when active construction work
on the railroad could be taken in
hand. The teams engaged went at
the work of hauling the large quan
tity of supplies in such a thorough
and efficient manner that they were
able to deliver all the supplies at
the stations along the line far in
advance of the time figured on.
Mr. Browne stated today that as
soon as possible work will be found
for these teams, but he was not in
a position to say definitely, at the
present time, just how long the
teams will have to remain idle.

IlflSIiOW NIGHT
There will be another meeting of
the American Slav Society of Ne
nana tomorrow night, and it is ex
pected that a considerable number
of new names will be added to the
membership roll. A number of
prominent Slavs residing out the
line have announced their intention
of being present for the purpose
of becoming members and additions
also are expected from among the
Slavs residing in town.
Considerable business of import
ance to the society will be con
sidered at the meeting, one of the
matters to come up for discussion
being the question of securing
quarters for holding meetings until
such time as the organization is
fully perfected. After that perman
ent quarters will be arranged for.
The membership of the society
is increasing steadily and at the
present rate it will be possible to
perfect the organization at an early
date. The organizers are going in
for quality membership rather than
quantity, and, as a result of this
policy, the membership is made up
of substantial Slav residents, insur
ing permanent growth and a pro
gressive career for the society.
