we are both In fine health.
We went up in the Tundra back OF the
town and got a mighty sack full of dry
moss and made . mattress SO we would
not have ito lie on the ground We put
a rubber blanket down first then blank
ct on top OF the mattress and two over
us.
1t is broad daylight here all day and
you wouldn't know when TO go to bed un-
less you had a watch. There are five
or ten thousand tents on Me beach here
In a stretch of four miles between Snake
and Nome rivers. The beach here has all
been worked over and so just as soon as
we can get little more money we are
going to take the fly TO our tent. blankets
and rocker and buy food, and go back
fifty miles from the coast TO the tribu-
taries of the Snake river and make
strike where someone hasn't been before
us.
We will go afoot and pack our outfit
on our backs and will be gone probably
q month You mus, keep writing as Oft
en- as you can and not expect any letters
from me until | return.

There was considerable excitement In
front OF Riley's barber shop yesterday
afternoon, owing to the breaking down
OF one OF the automobiles made at the
old Corliss works.
The auto was n good-sized one, and In
order to get " back to the shop a big low
gear had TO be sent for. and while a
gang OF men were working 20 put II on
the gear the horses attached exchanged
glanccs that had a world OF criticism on
ideas.
The break .at Kerr's bakery the other

command at the second is pronounced the
best ever had thinking citizens note
the difference between the third and IL.
