Word was received from Ash
ton, Iowa, last week that Rev
John Fritz died on the 18th inst.
Rev. Mr.. Fritz had been the
10 tor of the German lutheran
church in Alban for about four
years when he was taken i'll a
couple Of months ago, and re-
covered SO far as to be up and
around again, but was obliged
to give up his work and remove
to Iowa to live with friends and
recuperate. He arrived at his
destination, but news of his de-
cease was returned here shortly
after.
Peter Hamling, of Alban town
ship and just east Of the city,
was kicked in his side by horse
standing in his stable last Fri
day about noon, and was so Sc

urday afternoon. The funeral
service was held at the Catholic

Germany 81 years ago, came to
America in 1866, and has been
a resident Of this county since

A gentleman was in town this
week who a number of years ago
was interested in one of the
large land and loan companies
who were doing an extensive
business in Dakota at. that time,
and he called to mind that
several of these investment com
panies were bankrupted by hav-
ing Dakota lands forced upon
them in foreclosures, and while
the company for whom he
worked was not bankrupted, it
was compelled to give up busi-
ness. These lands are now val
liable assets, and the strange
thing is that they should at one
time have been considered such
poor property.

Van Amringe states that the beach Is

erously sprinkled with flake gold 1t

sand is scooped up and emptied into
rockers, and there the flake gold is
washed into gold dust. Men who were
in Kayak late last summer and heard
of the new diggings at Gagatagi made
their way there and returned TO Kayak
late in the fall with "pokes' ranging
in value from $1,000 to $4,000. The

it has been cast up by stormy sea.
There is no reason to doubt the relia-
bility of this news. Mr. Van Amringe
saw many fat 'pokes" of Yagatagi

his opinion the new strike is another

best poor miners camp in Alaska.
Until the weather moderates in the
spring it is necessary for all going into
the new fields to go by dog team. Many
miners are taking in supplies in this
manner preparatory for the season 5

thousands of people will stampede from
the States this summer in an endeavor

clan marched out of the telegraphic Of
fee to continue his mission Of healing
the sick.
Lieut.. Norman, of the til. had first
met the lady of his choice on an army
transport enroute from San Francisco
to Manila in the spring of 1901, and so
vigorous and daring campaign did he
pursue, that the lady surrendered at
discretion before the months voyage
was over. Indeed if the gallant lieu
tenant could have had his way the skip
per would have tied the knot before
port was reached: but the lady insisted
that it would be absolutely necessary to
obtain her fathers consent and for this
they would be obliged to wait until Ma
Mia was reached. The ceremony was
performed few days after landing and
two weeks later the lieutenant marched
away with his battalion to join Gen.
| Bell in the famous I'atangas campaign.
He had been in the field ever since,
and being the only officer of his com
pany for duty, had had no opportunity
of taking a trip to Manila to visit his

Steps Toward It To Be
Deferred a Year
MONEY IS PROVIDED
Government Considers Commits.
SiOner'S Decision Sufficient
For Present.

Washington, DC, March l2.-The
administration wishes to do nothing
that would further exasperate the Can
adams on account of the Alaska boun-
dairy decision, and for that reason steps
looking to the definite marking of the
new boundary line may be deferred un-
til next year. The urgent deficiency
bill, As passed by the house and senate,
contains an appropriation of 800, 600
to pay the expense of making the nee
essary survey and erecting the neces-
sary monuments. 1t was expected that
the administration would ask for this
appropriation. and there was no opposi-
tion in congress.
The government will not hasten mat
ters, however, for it feels that a SUBJ
stantial victory was won at London and
it is not disposed to push the actual
marking of the line on the heels of this
victory A few weeks ago it was given
out, and published in these dispatches
at that time, that early steps would be
taken to secure the appointment of a
joint American and Canadian survey
party to mark the line as described by
the decision OF the London tribunal.
Ex-Secretary of War Root, who was a
member OF the tribunal, said the other
day, however, that he believed moth
ing would be done before 1905 He
added that the matter was now in the
hands OF the state department, and that
he had no recent conference on the sub
ject, but it was his opinion that there
was no occasion for haste.
ut would be little unseemly," he
said, ''fOr us to press the question of
actually marking the boundary, for we
have won our mail contentious, and
there is no doubt as to the location of
the imaginary line. 1t will, of course,
be matter for international cores
pondence to secure the appointment of
a joint survey party, and this can be
done at any time. The Canadians nat
urally did not wish to lose, and we
have an opportunity to show ourselves
good winners. It might seem to be a
little more dignified, in view of the
state Of feeling in Canada, to defer the
negotiations until next year, and pre-
sumo that this will be done.''
II the proposition for the appoint
nent of geographers and surveyors to
mark the line should first come from
the Dominion government, however,
the United States would respond
promptly. In that event, operations
might be begun some time during the
coming summer. All OF the actual work
will have to be done in the summer
season, as the mountain region to be
traversed is buried in ice and snow
during the winter months. Opinions
differ as to the length of time that will
be required to complete the work. 1t
probably cannot be done in single
season.

Drowning Accident

On the 10Th of October here occurred
Chsudlere river, above Jersey Point,
Beauce, Quebec. -Four Wilson brothers
were breaking up Jam Of logs. When
attempting to land, their boat struck q
rock and was broken In pieces. The

pulled ashore by the two brothers; but
Thomas WAS drowned. When last seen
by one of the brothers he WAS near the

the rock and at the same time let the
memory go back to that twenty-second
day Of December, 1920, and think Of that
little band OF 102 who, amid such die
couraging circumstances, stepped from
off their small boats onto this same rock.
