M. R. Kennedy, manager of the Con- solidated Alaskan Co.,, and pioneer of '9S, accompanied by Will Watson, re- turned yesterday from Council City. Mir. Kennedy reports five days storm between Port Safety and Topkok, and that nearly all stage lines and freight CTS were tied up from three to five days at TOpkOk.

Mr. Kennedy says the trail is now in splendid con- dition between Nome and Topkok, and he came through in good shape except for the freezing of one dog.
