WILL HOLD
 COURT HERE

From assurances received within the last few days it now appears that this district will be blessed by the appointment of all assistant clerk of the district court, where upon it will be possible to file dis trict court cases without going to Fairbanks.
 Judge Overheld has expressed his desire to provide for tue 1dlt- arod as far as possible. and has also declared himself willing to come here to hold a term of court if lie is needed. The latter, how ever, will not come of before spring, in all probability as he has pressing work in Fairbanks that will keep him busy for few months.
 J. c. Moody, an attorney who has just arrived to practice here, and MT. Fairbanks of the N. C Co. brought the news of Judge Over fields interest ill the new camp and his assurance that he wanted word from tue members of the bar here. He would like all expression of opinion from the legal fraternity to guide him, and said that he be- lieved an assistant clerk of tue court could be provided at once. He also wants word about the condi- tions in regard to litigation that he may make his arrangements for holding court here.
 As soon as 1t was known that Judge Ovel6eld desired informa- ton, the mem bers of the bar got to- gether and discussed the proposi- ton. II was generally admitted that tue choice for assistant clerk of the court should fall to A. E.. Maltby, the present commissioner, as he is not only eminently qualified for the position, but the work will fall naturally into order with his present duties.
 Word will be sent to Judge Over field at once, and it is possible that the arm of the court will rest here permanently within a few weeks.

HORSES DEMOL!SH
 TOWNS SIDEWALKS

Equine pedestrians have enter tained tue people of this city dur ing the past week, the net result being some amusing incidents, some serious incidents and the need for a veterinary.
 True to their nature, which is second ill intelligence only to the Dodo bird. the horses that are familiar with this city have ac- quired habit of walking on the sidewalk. None of this moss busi- ness for theirs when the sawmill has provided slabs.
 Growing ambitious, one large, corpulent pack horse essayed the walk in front of the Vienna cafe during the middle of the week, thinking to go to Frank Miller's place. An excitable individual saw him and started to shout, whereupon the horse naturally be- came confused and tried to back pedal on the expedition.
 The result was disastrous. Each separate and distinct foot found vulnerable spot in the board walk about the same time, and tue ami nal gave representation of large object wading through sea of boards. It required the assistance of the tax collector and the village dentist to pull him out.
 Fortunately there were no broken legs, but it requires only a mo- ment's reflection to understand that horses in this town must be corral ed or tied lest they destroy prop erty and themselves.

On Monday the launch Cecil, from Dikeman, landed IS passengers who came from Seattle via s. $. Victoria to St. Michaels.
 The Pup steamed into port on the 18th from Dikeman with 20 tons of freight for Charley Worden and leaves down this morning to meet the Tana. Capt. Jack Green reports a fair stage of water due to the rain and wing dam com mbination.
 The Little Snug" arrived on the morning of the 18th after a somewhat tedious voyage from Fairbanks. She brought barge with about 60 tons ot freight and lumber. About 20 tons was cached about 30 miles above Dikeman, the remainder mostly lumber for Park CT was landed here. Some alterations will be made to the Snug's machinery and then she will be valuable addi- tion to the mosquito fleet. The Swallow with five passengers from the Seattle No. 3, arrived yester, day at noon and reports the Martha Glow having arrived at Dikeman on the 18th with barge of lumber from Fairbanks. The Glow immediately left for the Tanana valley ports.

 There are several other launches, polling boats and horse scows doing their share of the good work in land. ing our winter supplies, which come and go unhsralded, so we are unable tc give them the mention they deserve.
 Those bugaboos of steamboat men the hull and boiler whom Uncle Sam annually turns loose to look after the safety of the travelling public, are expected at Dikeman any day now and then there will be great overhaul ing of boats and equipment, and it's a safe bet that more than one chesty life preserver, swelled out with alfalfa, will be given chance to see how far it can travel on it's own hook. The in. spectors are about as eagerly welcome ed by steamboat men as the road tax col. lector is by us landlubbers. ,~- RULES FOR MOTOR BOATS The following rules define the equip mont required by law to be carried on small motor boats:

Jim Blodgett, the freighter, arrived in town Friday evening with his big span of hnrses-the heaviest team in Alaska. Jim had just completed blaz- ing 6 wagon road from D!keman to Discovery Otter, which task occupied weeks time. He says the round about course he was compelled to take between the two points, in order to avoid swamps, measures at least 55 miles. Citizens of Dikeman furnished the necessary funds for the road, and M. Blodgett with seven men did the work. Several strong bridges were constructed by the builders.

He is of the opinion, however, that the Kuskokwim route to coast is the most feasible for this secton and that he will be able to assistance from congress next year to build road through. The growing importance of the Kuskokwm, and the that this will be good and prosperous camp makes it imperative that something be done to shorten transportation to the coast

GOOD SAMARITANS

J. J. Corbett, the old-timer of North ern camps who was lying in lodging house here, sufferer from catarrh of the stomach, is the latest unfortunate to profit from the true spirit ot broth erhood, which prevails in frontier con- munities.
 Billy Newman and Harry Stenson circulated subscription list the be- ginning of the week, which together with the proceeds of dance a week ago netted the sufferer S363.25.
 The dance, which was held in John sons steamboat building on Front street week ago was largely attended and was a most enjoyable affair. the good cause it represented enhancing the pleasure of those who attended. The use of the building was freely given as also were the services of the musicians and others who rendered assistance.
 Captain Merrill, of the launch Helen M., started the sick man on his way by furnishing him transportation to Diks- man, from which point the N. c. Ca will continue the good work by sending him to Seattle.
