IDITAROD OUTPUT

An outside paper is responsible for the statement that the output for the Iditarod this season will not be more than $6O,0OO How these figures have been arrived at is not known, but the same paper states that the value of the gold so far sent to the states from the new camp amounted to $54,00O. It would appear to be altogether too early to give even a rough estimate of the seasons production, but it is ce~- tain that the figures quoted are very much below the mark.
 If the production for the first Iditarod season comes anywhere near the anticipations of the boost CTS of the camp there will be an other exodus from Fairbanks after the frceZeup, in spite of the fact that the Iditarod seems already to have more people than t can sup port at the present moment,

ALASKAN GOVERNMENT.
:. :. :. :. + z. :. :. Z. :. z. :. :. :. < !.

The cryptic utterances of Attorney General Wickersham and Secretary Of Commerce and Labor Nagel re Earding the problem of Alaskan gov ernmeut have raised considerable speculation in the minds of many residents of the territory
 By some. our late visitors remarks have been taken to indicate that a measure of territorial government would be granted Us in the near flu ture while others incline to the be lief that all references to a more centralized government simply mean that the Administration is planning the re-iutroduCtion of the Beveridge bill. or one embodying similar prin- ciples.
 IL will have been noted that on no occasion have the gentlemen who recently visited Us given any indi- cation as to the kind of local gov ernment they are willing to recon mend, and it would be unwise at this time to build up extravagant hopes regarding the attitude toward terri torial government
 It is possible that our distinguish ed visitors may have gained such an insight into the conditions which exist here and the character of the people as would lead them to recon mend that Alaskans should receive al least as much freedom as is aC- corded Hawaiians, FilipinOs and Por toricans; but it is extremely unlike form of government to the President which they knew to be absolutely opposed to his own ideas on the sub ject What the Presidents ideas are on the question of Alaskan govern ment we already know. and in his Seattle speech. President Taft reit- erated his belief in the commission plan for Alaska
 That being so il remains to be seen what attitude the President will adopt in the matter next ses- sion. In the face of the result of the delegate election. it is hardly likely that the Beveridge bill will be reintroduced in its old form {; but what he will substitute therefor is known as yet only to himself and, perhaps. his cabinet officers

Preacher creek From this point it turns northwest on the divide be tween the headwaters of Beaver riy- CT and the North Fork of Preacher creek to the summit of the White mountains north of the source of Fossil creek. It there turns in a southwesterly direction along the White mountains to the crossing of Beaver river Next the boundary turns north across Beaver river and follows the summit of the ridge be tween the headWaters of Tatlina and Tolovana rivers on the west and Beaver on the east to the wa ltISHeu uIklullS ltlOIld tItth rom the Toloyana river. IL then follows the watershed between the Tolo- vana river and the north fork ol Hess creek 10 the junction of the west fork of the Tolovana The channel of the Toloyana is then followed to the Panama river, when the line continues in southerly direction along the divide between the Nenana and the Kantishna to the summit of the Alaskan range, including the headWaters of the Nenana river
 The Alaskan range is followed to Mt. Hayes, where the boundary turns north along the divide west of the Little Delta to the Panama river. The channel of the Panama is then followed to the mouth of the Salcha or place of beginning.

DREDGING AT NOME

To the ist of 15 new dredgers be ing constructed this summer at Nome, F. R. Jordan, manager of the Nome Gold Gravel company, an Eastern corporation, will add anOth- CT this year, placing it on Cripple river, 12 miles above Nome, where prospects have been found that will insure the dredge eight or ten years work
 The dredge will be ready to op- crate by the first of July next year, and will have a capacity of 5000 yards a day next summer.
 Most of the material for the dredge is on the ground now and the re maining is en route.
 F. l.. Smith, who built both the Wonder dredge and that of the Nome Mining Company on Bourbon creek, will practically complete it this year, the only thing remaining being the stallatiOn of minor parts of the ma chinery at the opening of the season next year The dredge will burn oil
 Jordan says the company he repre- sents and in which he is a heavy stockholder, has eight claims on Cripple river or 160 acres of ground for the dredge to work, and that it will require several years to ex- haust the gravel in the stream.
 The property extends two miles on the river proper, one claim wide, and drill prospecting, conducted un- der the direction of Jordan for the past two years, shows good values.
 The Nome Gold Gravel company is close corporation, four men owning it, the money for exploiting the Cripple river ground being sub scribed by New York capitalists.

It is reported that there is a shortage of supplies in the Iditarod, and those going to the camp this fall would do well to go provisioned. While the shortage may not be quite so bad as represented, it is quite probable that a large quan- tity of provisions will be hauled over the divide into the kuskokwim af- ter the freezeup, and this will seri- ously deplete Iditarod stocks.

MCAULEY-G GOLDEN WEDDING

One of the most beautiful wed ding ceremonies ever witnessed in Fairbanks took place at the Cath ollie church last Wednesday evening September IT. when Rev. Father Monroe united in the holy bonds of wedlock, Miss Kathryne II. Gold ell and MT Joseph D. McAuley.
 Promptly at S:3O o'clock the groom, accompanied by his best man MT, N G. Hansen of Fox City, marched with stately tread to the altar, and 10 the strains of soft music were followed by the bridal process sion consisting of Messrs. Edwin r. Wolcott and J. Harmon Caskey, ushers; Misses Mona Anita Robarts and Edna Marion Lewis, little flow CT girls; Miss Blanche Watson. maid of honor. and the bride. leaning on the arm of MT. John F. Robarts The bridal party was followed by Father Monroe and the altar boys.
 During the short but impressive service solos were sung by Mrs. Pc ter A NachOn and Mrs. J. Harmon Caskey. and at its close the organ burst forth into the glorious we'd ding march from Lohcngrin, and the newly married couple left the altar preceded by the little flower girls who streW ed flowers ill the path of the bride until the vestry was reach ed, and followed by the rest of the bridal party.
 The bride was gowned eXquisitely in ashes of roses crepe de chine, en train, wearing a beautiful white pie ture hat and carrying magnificent shower bouquet of white carnations and smilax, the gift of Mrs. P. J. Rickert
 The maid of honor was beautiful ly attired in pale blue silk, large white picture hat and carrying d lovely bouquet of white asters and smilax
 The little flower girls were gown ed in twin style with dainty pink and white dresses, hair done up with huge pink bows, and arms filled with white flowers.
 Autos were in waiting and the bridal party and wedding guests were carried to the home of Mrs. F. F. Kellogg, where a reception was held, the happy couple stand ing under a beautiful white floral bell to receive the congratulations of their many friends.
 After refreshments and an inspec- tion of the wedding gifts, which were numerous and costly, the brides cake was cut and passed.
