The reporter for The Diamond Drill
has investigated conditions at the
poor farm and finds much there that

committee of the board of supervisors

At the outset we wish T. SAY word
Or two Of praise for Superintendent
sprague for the energetic manner IN
which be- has conducted affairs AZ the
poor farm during the past year.
In tte opinion Of the writer, Il is
doubtful II the commissioners could
have selected better man for the
place He has taken hold of the farm
as II he had a personal interest in IL
and has worked hard and faithfully 70
bring results
The inmates have increased right
along. of late. until there are at pres.
ent fifteen persons in the care OF the
superintendent as county charges and
Of tnis pumber seven are sick in bed,
some Of them with incurable diseases.
There seems 10 be no Iet-up in the
number Of patients that keep coming
and II the increase continues ia the
same ratio for any considerable length
Of time II will be absolutely necessary
for the supervisors 10 build an add
tion This is matter that ought TO
be taken under consideration at the
present time. for the increase is bound
To come soon with the constantly
increasing population Of the county.
IL ~ in connection with the pest
house that the greatest cnance for
improvement exists and ID IS there
that the supervisors should make a
change at once. This building is
nothing more than "a log building, the
whole interior being one room Of not
overly large proportions In this room

patients OF both sexes were confined
in the house ut the same time the
condition would be shameful There
Is no provision for the isolation of
this building from cattle and other
stock that roam abont place and
some time or other, diseases will be-
spread by this very means unless some
provision 70 stop the practioe H. ear
ried into effect.
A new pest house should be huilt
and several apartments made to allew
OF segregation Of patients An apart
ment should be provided for the phy-
sicians in attendance where they can
change their clothing. DOM the robes
that they wear etc etc. Also de-
partment should be set apart for the
disinfecting Of patients when one il

These are simply few OF the things
that came TO the mind of the writer
as he looked over the place but they
are matters that demand immediate
attention.

simple Malosi is heard-which has also been taken by the uninitiated to be a lazy mans method of conserving his wind.
 A little nearer home is another river which a great many compel their re- belious tongues TO designate as the Tosi- kakit: it heads in the hills to the north ward and is separated from Ray river by only a narrow divide.
 Yesterday Capt. A. H. Mayo threw much light on this interesting subject. "kakit,' he says, in the Indian tongue is an affiix to the name of any stream, which literally means mouth of" Thus at their confluence with the Yukon the Tosi becomes the Tosi-kakit and the Malosi the Malosi-kakit, and so on with all streams. The Novitno at the mouth would be the Novitno-kakit under q strict adherence to the rule, but it has evidently been shortened into Novikakit for convenience sake by the natives themselves, for so they all designate it.
 "Kakit' is accented on the first sylla- ble and the ''a'' is given substantially the sound allotted it in the word "what."
 There is probably no better authority than Captain Mayo on a matter of this kind, and his explanation ought to clear away all the confusion

THE HUDSON PLAN
He Says His Aim Was to Secure Absolute Fairness in the Vote
 He Proposed.

In justice to $. R. Hudson it is q pleasure to give an outline of his propo- sition to the Miners Association for se- curing vote of the precinct as to the approval or disapproval of J. Lindley Green as United States commissioner
 In conversation with this paper Mir. Hudson said the plan had been given careful thought with a view to making it absolutely fair. Briefly stated, it was as follows:
 A ballot box was to be prepared and securely sealed, with only a small round hole left open, in which to deposit the votes. Ballots were to be prepared with "For' and "Against' on them, each voters wish to be indicated by the regu- lation cross mark. A man was to be selected to go over the precinct and so- licit each man to prepare his ballot in secret, roll it into pencil shape with the writing inside, and deposit it in the box, where it would unrol sufficiently to in sure it to remain till the seal was broken. The collector of the ballot was to be sworn to utter no word for or against the commissioner and to urge secrecy on the voters part. A list of the voters was to be taken, and the result was to be accepted as the wishes of the people in the matter.
 Mir. Hudson said the agitation that is continually going on regarding the com missioner is against the welfare of the district, and he had considered this the best plan to bring the matter to a focus. Asked if he did not think the Miners Association acted in its own best inter- ests in declining to father the proposi- ton, he did not answer directly, but said as the association had so acted he had no fault to find.

WHAT "KAKIT" SIGNIFIES
In the Indian Tongue It Is an Affix to the Names of Rivers, and
 Means Mouth Of."

Since the gold strike was reported or stream flowing into the Yukon some eighty miles below Panama considerable confusion has existed as to the correct name of the stream which cuts through the new land of promise. Only last week quotation from Father Ragaru was printed in this paper giving the right name of the river as Noyitno. Heretofore it was generally spoken of as Novikakit, but was sometimes called Novi-the latter being supposed to be simple and convenient contraction of the longer word.
 There is another stream which Is often mentioned here-the one on which a wonderful group of hot springs was found fifty miles northwestward from Panama last winter. It is ofteucst called the Malo=ikakit, but sometimes the

Mail Carrier Turned Back
 to Meet the Mail.
Indians Saw Him Headed Up River to Meet Jim CarSe.-WaS
 Breaking Trail.

Allen Crane arrived in camp shortly after l2 o'clock today and brought d re- port that Paul Schultz, the mail carrier, might have met with fatal mishap at some place above the coal mines.
 Mr. Cranes apprehensions were un- founded and Schultz is all right.
 Schultz left Rampant Nov. Is and was expected to meet the down-river mail at some probematical point beyond Fort Hamlin. He has been expected back some days; but his non-appearance has caused no uneasness, the unusual con- ditions of the present season being well understood.
 Schultz had failed to meet the mail beyond Hamlin.
 Mir. Crane saw Schultz, coming this way. pass the mouth of Salt creek last Sunday evening. Schultz was on this side of the river. In coming into town Crane stopped at Charley Johnson's, D miles up river, and there learned that Schultz left that place yesterday morn ing intending to come on to Rampant At Coal Creek he saw no sign of Schultz and became apprehensive that he had dropped through the ice.
 Careful inquiry by J. W. Duncan, of the \. C. Co.,, of Indians who arrived late this evening, brings out the fact that Schultz is safe. The Indians saw him mushing the other way. He had broke some trail this side of Charley Johnsons, and had mushed back up river to meet Jim Carse with the down mail. When he once connects with Carse he will bring the mail on in.
 Mail left Eagle Nov. 2l. The river was open there then. It will leave Eagle again, down, and Panama, up, Dee. 6, when the regular weekly winter service begins.

COLONEL NELSON FOR MAYOR.
Colonel Nelson for Mayor"

Colonel Nelson for Mayor"
That is one of the latest schemes
of the so-called managers of the So
called american" party, formulated
by Joe Lippman and Furious ].
The fiat has gone forth and word
has been sent down the line to the
boys to get out and whoop things up
for this bottle-beg pardon-battle
SCARED veteran. To scour the wards
invade the districts, storm the pre-
son for mayor.
So in few days we may look for
things to happen. Not alone in the
center of town but elsewhere. To
begin at Ensign Peak and work to
Forest Dale. To start in at the res
ervation line and toll down to the
river. To let no guilty man escape,
but to enroll them, one after another,
under the white banner of Nelson
"Americanism" and d-n the hier-
archy
Oh my, oh me, but what time
there is going to be. With George
Sheets taking care of the tenderloin
and Frank Swenson wading through
the tulies in Poplar Grove; with Tom
Kearns lining up the denizens out on
Brigham street and Ed. Colborn lam
basting the folks out in Popperton
Place and Joe Lippman running at
large; with the Tribune preaching
for peace, purity, protection to the
home and Nelson.
What a nice bunch of argument
we will be able to listen to. What
strenuous speeches. All about how
the Colonel was born, at an early age
of poor but honest parents; how he
came westward with the star of en-
pire and only stopped here because
he thought the star had; how he has
abored for the upbuilding of Zion and
the tearing down of the hierarchy;
how he has ever been on the right
side; first when Goodwin and Lannan
were roasting the Saints; next when
Perry Heath and company were ap-
plauding the Saints; next when Tom
