San Francisco. Jan. 81 hardly
know why, but those who elect TO
spend their winter in your ice-bound
land are forever and continually be-
wailing the fate that kept them lin,
yet when enjoying all that civilization
and a bountiful winter climate brings,
and living among surroundings where
their desire can be satisfied, they as
earnestly long for that little burg on
our own Bering seattle place they
call home.
News was Immediately telegraphed
out of the decision of Judge Moore in
the "Hot Air. case, and among the
Nome colony nothing else is talked of.
"Billy" Love-the irrepressible Love
dwells in one long, sweet and contented
smile. He has palatial quarters in the
Call building and, with others, is float
ing stock in his Electric Power scheme.
I'm afraid, however, they are not meet
ing with the success they anticipated,
inasmuch as Alaskan promoters find
this very hard field in which to find
capital that is willing to go so far away
from home.
Judge Fenton also has offices in the
famous Call building, and take it that
he, deservedly, is doing we'll
Nolney Hoggatt, dapper and chic as
ever, is still in the city, where he prob
ably will remain for the greater part of
the winter, as he has case before the
U. 5. circuit court of appeals growing
out of litigation bearing upon the rail
road company he represents, with head
quarters at VALDEZ. Nolney tells me
that he spent the greater part of the
summer in the Philippines taking depo-
sitions there to aid him in the above
litigation, and in which Judge Wicker
sham decided against him. I'm afraid
that the tall cottonwood" does not
stand as high in the favor of the above
jurist as was his wont.
Bob Duncan, who practiced law in
the winter of 1901 in Nome, is now sue
cessfully practicing his profession in
Ukiah, which is the county seat of
Humboldt county, and of which he is
now district attorney.
Jerry Dineen, another one of the old
tracing. He was behind Mayor
Schmitz in the last election. He is
slated for one of the important commits
sionerships that that worthy has to dis
penSe. Jerry stands very close, and |
am assured has his choice of what he
may desire.
Big Mike Sullivan and Roxy Reber
seem to take life more easy than any
other of the Nome colony. They have
but recently returned from the springs
and are both enthusiastic in their praise
of California.
Yesterday | spent with Magnus
kjelsberg at his home in Oakland. He
is most beautifully and happily situat-
ed. He has new automobile, and the
greater part of the day we spent riding
about town and its suburbs. Magnus
has just purchased a $35, 600 ranch in
the neighborhood of Jan JOSE Here
is indeed one of natures noblemen.
Brynteson also has a ranch at San
Jose, but he has rented it, and is now
residing in this city. Lindeberg and
his wife are enjoying life in New
York. and Lindblom is hardly ever
seen. Someone has said that he has
conceived an undying fear of policemen,
and HES himself away to keep out of
their sight and clutches.
Judge jackson now makes this city
his home. He has just returned from
d five weeks trip to Mexico, where, to-
gether with Will Metson, he has been
looking into properties they own there
That other legal luminary, Judge Han
mum, has returned from New York,
where he went with John T. Reed, to
float company. The former told
layman that he was offered $4,000
year to look after the interests of
wealthy client here, but that his time
and other interests would not allow of
his so doing. He is not seen much in
public places, contenting himself with
a quiet and serene existence. He I'M
doubleday is a big man.
Jim O'Sullivan is still to be seen
about town, and is enjoying the fruits
of his Alaska eXertiOns.
Till Price is living at Sonora his old
home in the mountains. His old part
ner, Chris Tremper, has bought and is
living on stock farm near the same
town. l had the pleasure of spending
an evening with Gabe Price recently
