 FOR JOHN NESS

At the time of going to press this week, nothing has been heard of John Ness, the man who left Jack RitChie's cabin at Discovery Donlan, on the morning of Oct. g, headed for Georgetown without grub or blankets, and who has not been seen since, despite the fact that men have been searching the hills for him.
 Fred Scheid, J. NJ. Haley, Vim, Clifford, Pete Jensen and NJ. Steph ems, who left the same cabin shortly after, and who arrived at George town two days later, found no trace of him, nor had he been seen in Georgetown,
 It was quite cold the night fol- lowing his departure aud for two or three days thereafter. Without protection, it is feared he became lost and may have perished.
 Ness is a man about 42 years of age and has lived i'll the vicinity of Flat City for a year.

 FOR MACHIHERY

Harry Johnson and Al Burke, two members of tue group of lay men on the Wildcat association on Flat creek, known as the "Gug- genheims' returned to Iditarod city last Thursday after a trip to Dikeman where they went to in vestigate the question of machinery. They desire a considerable amount of mechanical assistance on their ground next season and it is under stood that they have bargained therefore.
 They reported that Ross auto mobile should be here today, and that it looks entirely feasible for him to bring all the machinery and provisions there are at Dikeman 10 this city on the river ice with the aid of trailers.

THEY NOW HAVE TIME
 FOR IATROSPEGTI0N

Emil Jensen was tried before Commissioner Malthy last Monday on the charge of stealing a dog sled. Emil didn't care for a lawyer, and lie waived a jury, for they caught the goods on him and lie probably figured there was no out anyway. He is now engaged in the quiet occupation of doing 30 days ill the local bastile.
 Ambrose Van was the complain jig witness and the man who owned the sled. Jensen was caught by the officers at the head of Flat, having sawed the handles off the sled. He claimed that he thought he owned the COntrivance, but the evidence was conclusive that he was just guilty of slight prevari- cation ill this regard
 Frank Smith was also charged with stealing oats which were pur- Joined from Dikeman, The thing raised so much comment that lie got scared and took the oats back. Roy Stevens, deputy marshal, caught him near Bruhn's and he pleaded guilty 10 the charge of pet ty larcany He is now doing 90 days in the same comfortable re- treat with Jeusen.

OLD SEA DOG CEASES
 THE MALAMUTES ABOUT

Travelling light with a seven dog team, Capt. Worth, who has sailed the main points of the compass, in cludlng the Spanish Main, went down to Dikeman last week sin quest of a load of supplies which he knew to be waiting there for him. It was a supply belonging to him and Dan Sutherland, and has been waiting there since the last boats got in.
 Knocking off with the prospect ing work that has been going on up there on the Green Fraction on upper Otter, for a short time, he has been chasing all around the country with that dog team and he is not through yet. He tore all the stauchlons off his sled going out to the creeks from this city the other day, but this only held him for a while. He hewed down the i'm mediate forest, cut out lot of ax handles and then made stanchions out of them. He should be back here right now.

FRANK DjjNHAM LIKES
 MAIL BUSINESS, HOT

Down at the Red Cross drug store, which recently moved into splendid new quarters om the cor ner of First and Willow, there is q sadder and wiser man. He was a recent disciple of one of Uncle Sans skin games, and with his right hand held straight up, ne can be heard 10 mutter solennly, "Never Again" ."
 When the Red Cross was in the old quarters, oil Richmond and Second, Frank Durham, the pro- prietcr, undertook to be good to the public by taking over the thankless job ot being postmaster In other wor s he took the mail to his bosom, attempting to jnggle a letter with one hand while he rolled a pill with 'he other. It was all very well for a while. lie was so busy, he didn't have time to see what was being handed to him.
 When the drug store moved, the post office didn't Frank went away from that place and left it right where it was He looks sadly back now and says he will bet an agate against a "glassy' that if he could figure it all up he would be out two thousand dollars on the experiment.
 In the first place, the loving pub- lie required all his time rummagiug through the mail for stray letters that never came. He couldn't at tend to his trade, and could see customers walking out while he burrowed under large piles of Fire side Companions.
 Then again, after one of those rushes, incident to the arrival of a new mail, he would come out after the storm was over, cn1y to find that the waiting patrons had lifted nearly everything that wasn't nailed down. Besides all this Uncle Sam didn't pay him enough to buy a news door hinge, He says he knows when he's got enough, al- right-alright.
 Tom Thurston has taken over the job now and has moved the post office to his home on the east side of Willow between Third and Second. Since we only get mail once month now, Tom will have more time to look the matter squarely in the face.

Mail Expected Early

According to a statement by Post master Tom Thurston. who has moved the office to his residence on Willow between Second and Third, the mail will reach here this month sooner than was to be expected when Mail Carrier Snow left on his last trip.
 Through incoming travellers, Mir. Thurston has learned that Snow ex- poets to reach here on the seventh of the month, or Monday. In that event, he wishes to give everyone notice that if they desire to send out letters on this mail, they must have them in the office by Monday evening.

FREIGHT RATES COME
 DOWN WITH THE SHOW

It was announced last week fol lowing the first creditable snow fall of the season that the freight rates to the creeks had dropped from 3c 10 one and a half cents, a contamination most sauctimonious- ly to be wished.
 It is understood that the lower rate was instituted by the Mu'chler Bros, freishters, and by this time 1t is probable that all other outfits have fallen i'll line, The trail is fairly cay TOW and should improve from this date.
