The Long and Remarkable Jour.
ney Made by S. 0. Quincy
-KObuk to Nome.

The trip made by S. 0. Quincy. who
recently brought O. A. Classell from
Squirrel river to Deering, distance of
$50 miles, and subsequently to Nome,
was, in many respects, a remarka bic
one.
Mr.. Quincy, with his charge, left
Squirrel river Dec. 81, and reached
Deering in little less than three days.
At Deering Mr.. Classell received surgi-
cal assistance, and on Feb. II Mr.. Cur
ney started for Nome. DR.. Buck S
camp on the Inmachuk was reached
the first day out. distance of % miles.
The next night camp was made in a
snow bank on the Good Hope river. 1t
was expected to find tent at a point
on the river, but it could not be located.
So hole was dug in the snow and Mr..
Classell was placed in it. He was care
fully covered by fur robes, and he
passed the night in the improvised
snow hut quite comfortably, although
the night was bitterly cold the mer-
curry showing 40 below. After the ex-
perience on the Good Hope, roadhouses
were reached every night thereafter,
the only mishap resulting was being
caught in blizzard one day. Mr.. Cur
ney's face was frozen slightly and he
lost two dogs. The remainder of the
trip was uneventful.

The Tax Demanded.

Because he is supposed to run Il road
house, Lewis Meyers, of Tishou river
has been hailed into court. The road
house tax is only Sl5 year, but Meyers
objects to paying the tax because he
does not run roadhouse. He took
down his sign early last December, al
though he has housed storm bound and
weary mushers- one or two, perhaps
since that time. But his place has
been closed as a roadhouse, he says.
This roadhOuse tax is one of the iniqui-
ties of the license law which applies
only to Alaska.

prevents these diseases from resulting
ia pneumonia. 1t is also certain cure
for Group. Whooping cough is not dar-
perous when this remedy is given. 1t
contains no opium or other harmful sub
stance and may be given as confidently
to baby as to an adult. 1t is also
pleasant to take. When all of these
facts are taken into consideration it is
not surprising that people in foreign

remedy very highly and very few are
willing TO take any other after having
once used it. For sale by Gibson &
