Just Heard About
the Iditarod Strike
A good many people will remember
W. L. Mitchell, who left Tanana for the
Kuskokwim country a little more than
a year ago. The Leader has received a
letter from him dated Bethel, June 29,
in which he eays “this is the first time
I have been at a postoffice since I left
Tanana last summer.”
It is plain from his letter that Mr.
Mitchell has been totally out of touch
with civilization all these months. “I
hear there is a strike on the Iditarod,”
he says, “but don’t think it amounts to
a great deal, for there are people here
from there who say it is not much.” He
adds that there has been no strike on
the Kuskokwim; that the country has
not been prospected much yet, but has
been trapped to death.
Mr. Mitchell was to start for the out
side on the next boat, expecting to re
turn to the Kuskokwim next summer.
His postoffice address will be Seattle.
Juneau Daily Dispatch, July 2: As
was told from the platform at the Elks
rally last Thursday night the special
agent sent to Cordova two years ago to
investigate election frauds secured about
$5,000 in real estate. This time there
will be no chance for such an outrage.

The Gold Strike
in Eagle Region
Arrivals from the upper Yukon on
the steamer Sarah last Thursday were
questioned regarding the gold strike re
ported a few weeks ago on the waters of
Seventy mile river, near Eagle. It was
learned that there is certainly some
good pay, but the extent of it has not
yet been determined,
j Among others talked to was Judge
i Wickersham. He said people at Eagle
! were not inclined to attach great im
! poi tance to the strike. The swindle
perpetrated through the salting of
ground on the Seventymile a few years
ago tends to make people in that region
wary. The strike is high up on Rock
creek, a tributary of Seventymile, and
is less than twenty miles from Eagle.
The ground is not exceeding five feet in
depth. There are indications that the
white channel crosses there, but what
prospecting that has been done has re
vealed nothing on the ridges.

Rampart Case
Goes to Fairbanks
Fairbanks, July 15.—(From the News
Miner.)—An appeal from the commis
sioner’s court sitting at Rampart has
been taken to the district court by the
plaintiff in the case of Julius Rahmstorf
vs. James Climie, the papers having
been filed yesterday with the clerk of
the court.
In his first complaint the plaintiff
asked for judgment of $104 with inter
est and costs, the same being the amount
he claimed to have advanced to the de
fendant on an order held by Climie,
drawn by J. A. Chute on John Duncan,
which order neither Duncan, Chute nor
Climie afterward honored. The answer
of the defendant admits the order dated
at Eureka creek June 26, 1908, but al
leges that the plaintiff did not forward
it with reasonable dispatch, thereby
preventing the defendant from collect
ing the draft personally within a day or
two, when it would have l>een paid.
Climie further denies that J. A. Chute,
the drawer, or John Duncan, on whom
the order was drawn, refused on July 6
to pay it, or that he, the defendant, was
notified on July 6, 1908, of said alleged
refusal at which time payment was
asked of him.
The case was tried before Coinmis- \
sioner J. H. Hudgin on June 16, 1910, j
the trial being by jury, and a verdict;
was given in favor of defendant.

Striking Phases
of the Campaign
ring campaign would almost make a
clothing-store dummy take notice. Cer
tain phases of it would make a decent
corpse glad it were dead and out of the
way of temptation. It would not be
surprising if the weak subterfuges prac
ticed should cause the figures on the
totem poles in Taft’s marines-guarded
park at Sitka to actually broaden their
grin around to the back of the neck:
they would certainly bat their grotesque
eyes if they could read the newspapers
of interior Alaska.
Speaking of newspapers: One of the
finest pieces of unintentional satire that
has been perpetrated during the cam
paign appeared in the Fairbanks Alaska
Citizen when it held Orr blameless for
the disreputable character of his cam
paign committee, with Abe Spring as
treasurer; the Citizen explained that
Orr really has very little to do with
the conduct of the campaign! Another
bright idea was the publication of a tel
egram—or a purported telegram—from
Dawson in the Fairbanks News-Miner
saying that a party of multi-millionaires
who had gone to great expense to fit up
a palatial steamer in which to journey
down the Yukon to St. Michael, had
turned back at Dawson because the la
dies of the party were afraid to rilsk
themselves in a country so hostile to
cajatal as Alaska is. Poor little dears!
The debate between Wickersham and
The Barrel at Fairbanks tonight will be
a spectacle fit for the gods, man and the
devil.
Hen Who Will
Conduct the Election
Commissioner Gallaher lias appointed
the following judges for the forthcoming
election for delegate to congress:
Frank C. Smith, Democrat; R. R.
Stoddard, Republican; and John A.
Clinton, Independent.
Messrs. Smith and Stoddard are sup
porters of Orr, while Mr. Clinton will
vote for Wickersham. It is understood
that the appointment of Mr. Clinton is
satisfactory to the representatives of
William O’Connor, the union labor can
didate. _

Basco’s Hearing
Set for Tomorrow
Baseo, an Indian, was arrested last
Thursday evening, charged with the
theft of $21 from Mrs. Julia Young, wife
of a roadhouse keeper near The Birches.
Mrs.-Young was in the Northern Com
mercial Company’s store, carrying the
money in a purse folded in her shawl.
Basco was also in the store, and it is
said enough evidence was obtained to
justify a belief that he got the money.
Last Friday Commissioner Gallahcr
continued the case until Friday of the
preeent week (tomorrow).
