REINDEER MEAT
 HITTING MARKET

The first choice selections of rein deer steaks and chops arrived in Iditarod last week following the butchering that has been going on near Boulder creek. A number ot men have been engaged in the work assisting Sampson and Boyno. and the animals which recently arrived from the Kusk ok vim are pronounced the finest that have ever been brought to this section.
 They are dressing at all average of about 15o pounds, and are des cribed as being fat and succulent. Many of them dress over 200 and the sample steaks already furnished are indeed pleasant to reflect upon, This meat Is selling at soc per pound now, and the market will readily absorb the new supply. The killing is practically completed and the carcasses i'll cold storage.

They Make II
 Metropolitan

There is telephone at the Slough roadhouse, which is 20 miles this side of DiSkaket. It runs from the house to the barn, and any time man comes along who looks like he might know more than he had paid duty on, they ring him up.
 Simplest thing in the world. The arch-conspiritor goes out to the barn in any kind of weather-and calls up the house. He does his own "central- ling" Then he enquiries for the indi- vidual with the enlarged ego. That makes it all the worse.
 Having connected with his Nobs, he proceeds to string him along seven hundred miles of wired waste and the fall guy always falls. Then when he gets through, the hired man comes back from the barn aud gives the conversational party the large and merry Flaw, haw.'
 This is considered the latest metro politan joke at the Slough roadhouse.

 The rev find is at the mouth of Quartz creek which comes into Donlan short distance above Snow gulch, the creek where Smea- ton and Larson made the first strike.

registering your bet it would be well to go around and have speech with him.
 Claude Shea has a fine lot Of young dogs. Claude has been over the course and he probably has more than an even break if it comes to a question of chasing them Judge Maltby's team was strength ened two weeks ago by the pur chase of two dogs, and in making the book figure him for even money.
 Lynn Croner will carry Discovery hopes because he has five dogs that are not working in museum. To tip off anything about his team would be talking beside the point, because we don't know anything about it. However, one man called us up on the phone and said to watch it.
 Archie Mitchell is going in. so we hear. He has four dogs that he believes can run some, and if he thinks so, then the best thing to do iS to clock him for few hundred yards before riSking your next weeks meal ticket Sigurd Wigg will drive this here team and he won't have any gee pole either. J E Mitchell said he was thinking about getting in, and George Xiii roy is yet to turn iii report from the head of Flat.

THIS FOR DOG MUSHERS.

There will be six entries that are assured for the dog race on New Years day. These are John Dun can with seven dogs, Claude Shea with five dogs, Maltby, Rusk, Marsh and Grouer, each with five dogs.
 They are now betting that the winner will make the course in two hours, but the books OH time are subject to change without notice because the judges are ill doubt SIS to whether or not they shall run the race down Boulder creek or touch Flat city both ways. There is also a question whether or not they will follow the creek channel between Flat and Discovery. These questions are still open to discus sion and all figures as to time must await the decision of the judges which is due at the time the entries close.
 At the present writing, John Duncan's team is the favorite. However, since Ed Rusk ha, an- nexed the services of John Kirby there is new shade to possibilities Kirby has leader that is supposed to be one of the best in the country Flat creek will go for Rusk's team, probably to man.
 George Marsh has been trying out the trail-that is by proxy and he has some dogs. He has something up his sleeve and before

Speaking of Trees, ---

Tony Freeman and the Hotseth brothers who have been prospecting this fall on Suter creek tributary of the Koimakovski, built hem selves a cabin over there that has anything else in the country beaten to a stiff froth. The logs i'll this cabin are so big that it required only four to make seven foot wall -that's all four on side The house is 24 feet long and the struc- ture was put up right where these holes on Suler but could reach bed rock ill none of them on account of water. They found excellent indi- cations however, and will stay with 1t for some time to come.

Black Succeeded h
 Getting Two Fours

Heretofore this paper has published news to the effect that Black Sullivan, formerly chief of the fire department of the Iditarod and respected city dad, had gone down the Kuskokwim looking for reindeer to satisfy the jaded palates of Georgetown epicures.
 We also said that Sullivan didn' t have chance, because someone else had beat him to it.
 We get confirmation of the report just at this time to this effect. Sulli- van got some reindeer, but only enough to make good dog team. He return ed with eight of the foolish animals and Georgetown is about to have 8 potlatch.

Woodmen Are Not
 Sparing the Tree

Pete Rooney is rolling logs around on the head of Otter. With him he has & crew of ten men, and they aint doing a thing to the face of nature in their immediate precinct.
 The Slippern boys sent him up there and told him to do go about 20 miles from Discovery, where the woodwork cut all they can in a given time, or un- til next spring. Then they can freight it down river on the swelling tide. Maybe it has something to do with the Iditarod- Flat tramway--I don't know.

 Reyes and Meehan's stage line is giving good service and has been heavily patronized during the week. They will run couple of extra stages at Christmas.
 Great interest is being taken here in the dog race on New Years Day and Flat will turn out at least two teams. The Kirby boys will have a team and Ed Rusk of the E. w. Griffin Company, has got team which looks like a winner. As Tom McMahon's dogs have already brought home the bacon, it is doubt ful if they will be asked to do more.

DANGEROUS JOURNEY
 NOW MADE SAFE

Every little while along the trail between Dikeman and Diskaket there is sign post directing you the way to go. The signs consist of tripods Of poles and other devices designed to put the traveller hep to the way of bis itinerary,
 w. L. Goodwin is responsible for this very desirable innovation on the Diskaket trail. On his way over with his party he heard about the long stretch of country that mushers fear when the wind is high, therefore he decided to stake it. There are over 400 stakes, and it is declared to be i'm possible to lose the trail in any kind of weather, unless man is blindfolded.
 One old-timer had been heard to declare that he would bet plenty of round samoleums that a tragedy would occur on the flat country, where the wind and snow blows so strong that even the trees won't take chance. They do Say that if you happen to be out there when Old Man BoreaS is putting them over, you don't know whether you're coming or going.
 Now, you will be able 10 see one from the other in any kind of weather, un- less it happens to be blowing chenille curtains

Has Anybody Here
 Seen Kelly? Snuff.

The members of the road commission party seem to care to go on record as endorsing Kelly's roadhouse at Diska- ket. It appears that Kelly and his family treated the boys from Nome with considerable nom de plume, and gave them lots to eat. Bob Summers says that they fed him better than at any roadhouse he has met in Alaska. Sullivan is convinced that Mrs. Kelly invented cooking and that the Misses Kelly wrote the first work on how to be cheerful and attractive. On the level, though, if Kelly could have a bunch like that boosting for him long, he would have to build new road house.
