Last fall the writer stated that Monroe
was the banner Democratic township in
the county. OF course some questioned
that statement as we cannot get our Repub-
lican friends to admit that it is Democratic.
So we will just take the figures to prove it.
To begin with, under the new primary law
we will have three delegates to the next
County Convention, while the Republicans
will only have two. No other township in
the county will have three delegates in the
Democratic Convention. We gave Sey.
mour more votes than any other township
We also gave Miller, Terrell and Jones ths
highest vote last fall with the exception Of
their own bailiwioks and above ssall, WI
are pleased to know that we will be ablt
to do the most for Gloucester County'l

Seven dog teams andI about thirty Peel river Indians arrived at Dawson recently with sled loads of caribou, which were readily sold. Indians claim the moose have ceased coming to the headwaters of the Klondike river, and the caribou are also getting scarce with in 300 miles of Dawson.
 Among the passengers who came North on ths Bertha was Charles An derson, owner of the famous No. 10 FL dorado, ill the Klondike district. An derson has ten pack-horses and six men in his, party. Upon his arrival at Valdez he will immediately start out for the new Nizana district, where big gold strikes have only recently been made
