It is believed by many that the Pan ana canal will be finished when Alaska gets territorial government. There will be no use for it then, as the worlds products will be transported in air ships by that time.-Nome Nugget.
 John H. Hughes, the man who made a horseback trip through the Tatla- uika country in 1906 and staked little less than million miles of alleged mineral bearing ground, together with all that was above or below it, IS said to be enroute here again to continue his work in that vast field of stalking sibilities.-Fairbauk Times.
 At the biggest republican mass meet ing ever held on Seward peninsula, Dr.. John H. Mustard announced himself as candidate for the Republican nom ination as delegate to congress from Alaska. Great enthusiasm was shown at the meeting. pr. Mustard will get the endorsement of the Nome delega. ton.
 Franklin Moses has been arrested at St. Michael for alleged crookeduess in connection with the disbursement of government money for construction ot public school buildings. Moses was formerly connected with Dr.. Sheldon Jackson in the reindeer project. He has been taken to Fairbanks for trial
 That Tom Lloyd and his party reach ed d point 12OOO feet up the side of Mt. Mckinley and established camp there on February IS, is the word brought by Joe Dalton, who has just returned from the Kautishua country. Dalton met Lloyd at the base camp on Moose creek and was told that he had found condi- tions so favorable that instead of ad- herring to his original intention Of re turning to Fairbanks before the real climb began, he intends to make dash for the summit, and hopes to reach the "top of the continent" by about March 20-Fairban Times.
 Delegate James Wickersham intro duced a bill in the House on the 24th, providing for the creation of an Alas kan railroad commission to consist of the governor and two army engineers, whose duty it shall be to approXi- mately survey and locate the most feas- ible routes from the coast to the in- interior of Alaska and receive propo- sitions for the construction of rail roads over such routes. By the terms of the bill the government shall guar antee four per cent interest on the actual cost of construction work. No road SO constructed shall be over 800 miles in length.
 The changes in the notorious Alaska bill introduced by Senator Beveridge of Indiana, which are proposed by Sen ators Nelson and Piles, indicate beyond a doubt that Alaska's friends in con- gress are convinced of the fatility of demanding a territorial form of gov ernment for US at the present session. Until the bill comes from the terri tories committee to the members of congress in it's entirety it will be hard to eriticise it, as vein Alaska are sone- what in the position of the small boys in Dickens "Nieholas Nickleby;" we have to take our dose of treacle and sulphur whether we like it or not, ir- respective of our need for the nauseat- ing spoonful.-Nome Nugget.

To battle the forehead with a
sponge wrung out of water as hot
as can be borne will in many cases
bring relief. Repeat this as often
as the sponge cools. When the

house all we'll stocked with merchan'

said to be covered by insurance. Ac-
counts vary as to the origin of the
fire, but it seems to have caught
from a lamp that exploded in the
rear room of the store.
