FIRST WEDDING
 IN IDITAR0D

Before this paper had made it's bow to the public of the new camp, and long before it was commonly thought that Cupid could move his heavy bag gage to these diggings, the wedding bells had rung out, but SO quietly that it took our news sleuth a long time to get on to it.
 The wedding in question is probably tho first to occur in this section, at least it is tho very first since the big stampede of this spring, and occurred in this city on the evening of June 27, tho sweet and delicate rites being most solemnly and eflcaciously performed by Judge Alfred E. Maltby.
 The contracting parties were we'll known and popular people of tho upper country, the bride, Miss Lucy Carey, being : society belle of Hot Springs and Fairbanks, and the groom, MT. C.. Larson, being a member of Larson Bros freight outfit of Fairbanks.
 The wedding was quiet affair and was attended by only few close friends of the bride and groom, both of whom were among the early arrivals in Idit- arod this spring. They are now resid- ing in the city.

YASELE WON THE MATCH

A crowd of about 25o persons filled Bert Phillips new log build ing on First avenue Friday night to witness the first sporting event in 1ditarod City. a
 The game started out with a pre- liminary between Joe Dukich and Paul Walton. The bout was distin- guished by the earnest hard work of both meu, rather than science. Walton was the cleverer, but Joe the stronger of the two, and he had Paul down twice before he got the first fall. Joe seemed to be unable to understand that he mustshaVe

 The second go was of shorter du ration but fully as interesting as the first while it lasted. After five minutes struggle Jacks shoulders were again forced to the mat aud Tom was declared the winner.
 None are more popnlar i'll the in- terior of Alaska than the O'Connor boys, and Jack made lots of new friends last night even if he did lose. Vasele had the advantage in weight and experience, a combina- ton hard to beat.

MOSQUITO FLEET
 MOVING FREIGHT

The steamer Delta, which arrived at Dikeman on July 18th, with about 70 passengers and barge of freight, has departed for tke mouth of the lditarod for more of the same. She is plying between the two points, and will be used there tho rest of the season.
 The last consignment of passengers and freight brought by the Delta to Dikeman wore taken from the Louise which brought them to the mouth of the Iditarod. It is reported that there arc 90 passengers at St. Michael walt ing to como in and four barges at the mouth of the Iditarod. This human freight and one of the barges will doubtless arrive at Dikeman with the next trip of tho Delta which should be starting back about this time.
 The Mutchler Bros. arrived in the city last Tuesday with a scow from q point seven miles below Richmond. Tho craft was brought up with two horses, tandem, and carried about nine tons of lumber and corrugated iron billed to K. R. Peoples, the Fairbanks and Iditarod City merchant.
 The Teddy H., which reached the city Friday morning, after weeks work on river improvement between this point and Richmond, departed for Dikeman Friday afternoon for con- signment of freight. She expected to bring up 5 tons on tho prevailing high water and is scheduled to arrive here tonight.
 The launch Helen NJ. reached Idit- arod City Thursday evening with l6 passengers and the mail, having con- Tho passenger list, SO far as could be secured was as follows: Miss D. H. Green, Julia Martin, Doris Raymond, Fritzi Schef, F. Alice, Mir. and Mrs. Vieg, Rams Peterson, Bob Martin, Mir Oleson and MT. Anderson.
 On the arrival of the Delta at Dike- man, July 18th, Hutchinson & Riley, Dawson freighters, arrived at that city with l3 horses. They are now coming overland with the stock to Iditarod City.
 Steamers Pup, Little Delta and Lois arrived in port about Il p. Tn. Friday Tho Lois has been engaged in river improvements below here and brought small load of freight from cache few miles below here. The Pup had about 25 tons of freight for Rooney and B., H. & K Little Delta brought 50 tons of freight from Dikeman, most of which was liquors and bank fixtures fo: Neator. These boats left for down river as soon as their cargo was dis charged, as they wish to take every advantage of the present high water to land at it's destination the great amount of freight now lying on the river bank between here and Dikeman.

SOCIAL ORDERS GETTING BUSY

With the members of the Fraternal Order of Eagles already meeting to form branch of the organization here; the Arctic Brotherhood discussing the probability of camp at 1ditarod City and the Pioneers of Alaska talking of starting an Igloo, the outlook for a winter filled with social activity for this town and the creeks is particularly bright and opens up prospective vista of many delightful times.
 With the falling of the first snows and the closing of the rivers, the 1dit- arod, with it's large family of old-timers and cheechacos will be shut of from the Outside world. Unlike Fairbanks, there will be no ready communication with old folks at home, and tho camp will be thrown in upon itself for it's pleasures and its recreations. This condition of affairs has always, in the experience of seasoned Alaskans tended to a closer social intercourse between the inhabitants of any particular sec tion, driving them to seek enjoyment in the society of each other, and mak- ing them unusually active and ingeni- ous in devising and carrying out suc- cessful dances and parties.
 With the freezeup also comes great CT facility of communication between towns and creeks, and makes the mat ter of distance-covering one of enjoy ment rather than of labor.
 There are number of live creek towns out at the diggings. Each one of these can be confidently counted up- on to furnish it's quota of the winters amusements. Tho real live ones in these places can be relied upon to pro- vide the proper quarters for dances and other social gatherings, while the other places will not fail to furnish the people.
 Here in Iditarod City we have large number of the fair sex, and the city is already assured of . large dance hall in the bank building, now under construction. With ample facilities for entertaining creek friends, it ap- pears likely from what has been heard that the creek people are willing and anxious to respond.
 Winter in the North is period of more or less suspended industrial ani- nation, and the people have ample time to devote themselves to the pursuit of pleasure. For that reason, dog teams and sleds will be in great demand when the trails get good and the answer en- phatically is, "There will be some thing stirring"

TOWN TRUSTEE SULLIVAN ORGANIZING FREFIGHTlNG BRIGADE

After two intellectual attempts to nvege the busi- ness men and property holders of the city into meet ing to discuss the organization of sort of fire department the board of city trustees becoming des perate tried to figure out little scheme of their own and have in fact devised provisional chemical and bucket brigade which may be of slight effect if called upon to exercise it's powers.
 Comment has been made before this subject and an explanation of the psychological phenomenon which accompanies the almost complete ethargy of public opinion. The public simply will not wake up to tho need of adequate fire protection until fire has caused heavy loss. They they will get busy
 Although the property holders will not attend the meeting to discuss fire protection each enthus astc on the subject when visited by the city trustees and unhestatngly endorsed anything that the trustees

The board of trustees last week appointed E. M Sullivan fire chief and he has been busy organizing his chemical and bucket brigade. Five stations have been established, three Willow street and two First each station having six men and captain. code of signals is being devised, whereby the whistle at the mill of the Clark Lumber Co., will give the alarm and by the number of toots locate the fire All stations immed ately respond with 15 chemicals and buckets whereupon bucket line will be formed from the river while the chemicals are being trained on the blaze
 It has been suggested that efforts be made to CD large the chemical brigade, but there not enough of them in the city at this time Money should be sub scrbed to purchase large lot of these handy little engines and have them sent in at They greatly discount any possible bucket brigade, and will probably be the most effective system that can be now devised

 It is figured that these wing dams, amounting to about nine in number have greatly improved the chan ne between this city and Richmond and that the action of the water will make it better in the future It estimated that equal amount of money to that a ready expended will be sufficient to finish the work to Dikeman.
 The importance of this work can hardly be over estimated since it is reported that there between 500 and 700 tons of freight at Dkeman for this point

 The scheme under consideration by the trus- tees contemplates the installation of pipe line from the river to First street about the middle of the city with 200 feet of pipe running along First up and down street. With 400 feet of hose at the ends these nes it is deemed possible to get effective action within the radius of the nozzes
