Total number of votes, 181.
Tanana's third effort to elect a school
board culminated in a close finish after
the prettiest kind of a contest last
Tuesday.
The ticket headed by Chanquist had
a rig out all day gathering up suffra
gists and conveying them to the polls.
Pete Coloumbe, the greater part of the
day, acted as conductor and performed
his duties diligently and well.
George Vautier held the ribbons for
the hosts that fought under the Rod
man banner—that is, ho did till he
grew forgetful, and then the spirited
team broke away with the empty sleigh
and invaded the hostile precincts of
Campbell's homestead, where it halted
among the niggerheads. This was the
worst break during the whole cam
paign, a mere matter of a fractured
swingletree, soon made serviceable
with a bit of baling wire.
At the polls there were numerous
challenges, directed in most part at!
men of uncertain qualifications of resi
dence, birth or naturalization. In one
instance, however, a lady was challen
ged as to her age qualification, and,
learning that 21 years was a requisite
attainment for a voter, pleaded guilty
to the partisan’s soft impeachment and
gracefully retired. At the noon hour
while Judge of Election Dehn was in
terested in his luncheon a young lady
(just how young is problematical) de
posited a vote in so matler-of-fact a
way that nobody thought to ask imper
tinent questions till she was gone.

WILLIAM DUNKLE
GETS 6 MONTHS
According to informal ion received
from Opliir City. William Dunkle was
given a six months’ sentence last Jana-'
uary for robbing a cache on the Kus
kokwim.
Dur.kle was accused of similar of
fenses in the Gold Mountain district
last fall, and it was said—but denied—
that the prospectors ordered him out
of the district.
Pueblo Indian Problem
Santa Fe, New Mexico.—-W. R. Por
ter, chief of administration in the In
dian bureau, who has been here for
several days, has received a telegram
transferring his activity to New Mex
ico as supervisor of schools for the
specific purpose of studying the history
tnd character of the Pueblo Indians,
that the administration of Indian af
fairs may devise a special policy as
regards their future, which is a press
ing question, especially in view of the
admission of New Mexico to statehood.
The status of the Pueblo as a citizen,
a voter, a taxpayer and owner of ex
tensive reservations which can be al
lotted or leased, is recognized by the
present Indian administration as a
serious question. There is only one
other class of Indians that has thus far
received special treatment from the
hands of the Indian office, the civilized
tribes of Indian Territory.

MIGHT SHIP THE
PRIZE TO KEHOE
Middleton, N. Y., Jan. 30.—An
interesting fact in connection
with the awarding of the prizes
offered by Dr. Thomas Darling
ton, health commissioner of New
York city, for the best essay on
‘’How can clean and wholesome
milk be produced at least cost
for the New York market” is that
the winner of the second price is
a patient at the Middleton state
hospital and has been confined in
that institution for several years.
The prize was a $200 full bred
Jersey cow and the winner is Kay
Sponenbergh, who was com
mitted to the institution from
Fulton, N. Y. Although he has
not been able to do any farming
for several years he prepared his
prize-winning paper in the state
hospital, and dairy men all over
the country have thought that
the writer was an experienced
dairyman. It is not known just
what Mr. Sponenbergh will do
with the cow he has won.
A special citizens’committee of
Dawson is hustling hard getting
data to lay before the Canadian
railway commission seeking a re
duction of White Pass freight
rates.

expinse oy nominatin’ thimselves, at:
elictin' themselves afterward.
Bedad, Hinnessey, sez I, they're the
pick uv tho town, if yez leave the ris'
out, an d’ye know, Hinnessey, sez oi.
we've a great dale to be thankful for.
for ye see, Hinnessey, me boy. sez oi.
that the worst is here, an not yet tr
come.
Sez Hinnessey, sez he, it was a swate
round ann.vwav, but think, me boy.
what might have bin had the lad es
(God bless ’em), consinted to nominal*
m elect themselves.
Hould on, Hinnessey, hould on. I'd
a moind that a fay male board moighl
lie ivery bit as safe thraveling as a
male plank uv anny rotthen platform.
■T’ lie sure, sez Hinnessey, sez he.
the ladies hellup us over many a ditll
cnlty, and faymale sufferings t’day’s a
burnin’ question in more countries
than ours at the prisent toime.
An pwhat, me boy, was your opinion

as residents of this glorious Alaska
will be so ivident when the road-tax

Av yez ask me, sez Hinnessey, it’s

DRAMATIC CLUB
HAS DISBANDED
The Fort Gibbon Social and
Dramatic Club held its last ses
sion for the season on Tuesday
evening last, and much of the
time was given to the passing of
bouquets and compliments among
its officers and members;
This they could well afford to
do as for the past five months
this club has been the real life of
the garrison to the enlisted men,
and many of their pleasures have
been shared in by the officers and
their families and townspeople as
well. In fact the club has been
one of the most popular organi
zations of its kind ever conceived
in the army post of Alaska, hav
ing on its membership rolls at
one time and another nearly
every man in the garrison.
Furthersome during its five
months’ existence there has not
been a single hitoh or disagree
ment in its operations, due
largely to the excellent manage
ment of its officers—among whom
President Kinzer, Secretary
Broyhill, and Chairman of Social
Committee Tobin come in for a
large share of credit. Speeches
were called for and were forth
coming from these and the other
officers, including Mr. Reid, to
whom a hearty vote of thanks
was tendered as organizer. After
the payment of all bills the bal
ance in the treasury was turned
over to the Peerless orchestra,
which had contributed so largely
to the success <>f the club feat
ures. The club properties were
turned over to Sgt. Tobin, as
custodian, for use in a similar or
ganization next winter. Follow
ing the business session the c.'ub
enjoyed its usual smoker and
other entertainment features, in
cluding several moving picture
films. _
