WOOD PLENTY ON GREEKS,
 BUT HERE "AbER NIT"

is reported fair supply of good tim Der.
 Just how many cords of wood there are avilable in the environs of Iditarod City is hard to guess. Quite number of men turued their attention to this proposition in the late summer, but a good proportion of them devoted them selves to steamboat wood for next sea- son, and it is difficult to estimate what proportion of wood was cut for town use
 However it is said that there are a good many hundred cords in the woods within radius of three and four miles. which should be hauled here over good crails at not more than $4 a cord. Plac- ing the cost on the ground at S6 and &, wood should not cost more than Ell ir this town this winter.
 Still there are those who claim that it cannot be touched at S4 for hauling charge, and they cite the prevailing price of $26 per cord, sawed and de ivered as evidence of the fact that every consumer is due to get it in the neck this winter
 At the local mills and saving con. cerns they are getting this price, but that cannot be used as criterion fol the prices that will prevail here wher trail conditions become propitious. Al though foodstutis and horse feed is much higher than it was in Fairbanks, there would seem to be no good eco,
Iditarod pioneer., 1910-10-16

From all available data it appears that there is an ample supply of wood cut on the creeks to last them through the next season and that it will sell at a fairly reasonable figure.
 From the same data it looks like the denizens of this fair city are up against 1t with wood that will come almost as high per slab as Rex bacon, unless some modest cords can be dug up from way back in the tall timber.
 Mining men say that they will use something like 10000 cords in their operations on the creeks next season and that from all appearances there is a large proportion of that already piled on the ground. It is figured that it has cost about sG to cut this wood, and that it can be laid on the claims for not more than S4. Others place the figure higher than this and opine that wood will cost in the neigh borhood of SIP on the creeks.
 Flat creek is said to have enough wood in its own watershed to supply all operators thereon for at least one season, while Otter and Black will sup ply wood for several seasons to come Along the right limit of Otter in thu, vicinity of Flat, there are some thou sands of cords which will be easily transported when the snow gets good.
 Eventually it appears that the wood for the creeks must come in from the Bnuanza side of the di lile s here thera

Lect ture Course.

The first number of the Lecture
Course will be given at the Acad-
emy of Music, Monday, October
oath, by D. Lee Fitzpatrick, the
versatile genius.
He is just the man the people
want to hear.
Nature has endowed him to
amuse and instruct.
He not only talks, but he sings,
plays, delineates and imperson-
ates. He can please the most
fastidious because he can go from
the sublimest depths of pathos to
the highest flights of wit and
humor.
His personality holds his au-
ditors while his polished sentences
drive the thought nails and clinch-
es them.
His depletion of human character
makes him prime favorite.

nIVORCE GRANTED.

In the case Of Margaret Owens, OF
Iogansport, Ind, against Robert
Owens, the refusal OF husband to per-
NIT his wife to place her cold feet in
the middle of his back was given as
ground for divorce, and Judge Larry
evidently regarded it sufficient, as he
rendered judgment in favor OF the
plaintiff.
The husband, who appeared in the
case, testified that his wife from the
first OF their married life presistad IN
placing her cold feet in the middle Of
his back, and that finally he got tired
of it and made her stop it. She SAID
he became so touchy that he would
crawl out OF bed whenever she would
touch him with her feet. She also COM
planned that the husband had not kiss
ed her in three years.
The husband answered this by saying
that three years ago, during a quarrel,
bis wife informed him that hereafter
they would live together only as hired
girl and boarder," that she would gel
the meals, and that no more should be
expected of her than OF any hired girl.
He said that being married man be
had scruples about kissing the hired
girl.
