VIII We Have Turkey
 During the Holidays ?

If it is feasible to drive cold storage turkeys over the Lewis Cutoff, then we will have some of the delectabe bird, Drowned in royal state on the festive board for Christmas.
 Such is the news that comes from the Yukon where the Minneapolis is now sojourning.
 Twenty tons of beef, birds and tidbits reached Dave Lewis, brought down, presumably by one of the Weachter Bros. of the Independent market. The stuff is there and it is needed here, wherefore, it would appear that ar engagements will be made to bring it overland to the Iditarod
 Charley Miller, of the Merchants cafe has been planning a big turkey dinner for New Years. He sent to Fairbanks for some and he also knows that these specimens of the national bird are at Lewis. Such being the case, it would seem cinch that there will be one large and copious feed wait ing for us when Father Time bows out his decrepit son, Nineteen Ten.

Georgetown Destined For . A Merry 1oWnSite War

With a foundation almost iden- tical with the situation as it start ed in this city, Georgetown now seems destined for a lively skir, mish between lot jumpers and townsite claimants, the first gun having already been fired. To make it still better, rumors of schemes and counter schemes are already creeping in, to give the matter the real air of con- spiracy and katzenjammer.
 The first brush between oppOs ing interests occurred just prior to Oct. 22, when Andrew Edgar and some 15 others jumped var ious portions of the Fredrick' s Trading Post, which was located as such on August 26th, 1910, Edgar was hailed before the commissioners court, Justice Heavey presiding, and was then charged with malicious trespass. A stormy trial followed, Doc Donaldson appearing as prose cutor and Arthur Phelan for the defense.
 During the course of the trial, the defense attempted to show that there was a conspiracy on between Fredricks, Donaldson

Minneapolis Made
 Nearly Half Way

With 1S6 tons, half of which is pro visions, the steamer Minneapolis is lay ing at Lewis on the Yukon, frozen in nice and solid right where the ice may do her lot of good when the spring breakup comes. She had fiddled for position many days, but like the good things hoped for which never come, she holed in at the wrong time and place.
 The trip down the Tanana was pleasant one-not. For 72 hours she sat complacently on bar while the en- with might and main to pull her of. Then she proceeded down river till someone got cold feet and turned around to get behind an island at Tolo- vana where they stayed for 10 days. As G. F. Mayhood, oue of the passen- gers who arrived here Tuesday puts it, they got breath from the banana belt, the captain took heart and staggered up the stairs. Signing everyone to a pledge that nothing would be claimed by way of damages if they were crushed by the polar ice, the boat started once more and got to Lewis before the ice had accumulated on the hull to such an extent as to prevent further progress. On the 24th of last month, the river was still open, but the Minneapolis had been unable to reach safe quarters on account of the shore ice.
 The boat is in a dangerous position, and it is entirely possible possible that the story of spring will be sad one.
 Of the freight carried, about half is perishabes. Frank Miller, Markle, Jack Roman, Tom Mclean, aud some 5 others are there, and, apparently, each one of them brought along provi- sions.
 Roman and Mclean have machinery. Miller has liquids, Markle has vegeta- bles. They have builded habitation on the bank where the goods have been stored. Miller is also concerned with consignment on the Glow, which only got as far as Hot Springs.

and Commissioner Heavey to get possession of the choicest DOT tions of the townsite, in violation of public land laws, particularly those relating to trading post locations. Accusations flew back and forth and Phelan emerged with fine of BIO against him. Phelan charged that Fredricks had located over Indians who were in actual occupancy, and that he had not made valid To- cation, although it was proved that he had settled there in 1907. One of the jury admitted since arriving here that they knew no thing of townsite law or trading posts, and thought it best to let Fredricks have it as he was the first one there. Hence Edgar was fined $5 and costs from which he will appeal.
 As can be readily seen, their troubles have just commenced and will require speedy adjust ment by a qualified officer of the land department.

When You're Out
 of Grub You Ain't

A short time ago everyone in the lditarod had large pictures of himself slowly starving to death One could see the drawn visage and the haggard eye, while the mental vision of a slab of bacon wore boatific expression used only by martyrs and other things hard to get.
 Now that it is known that the price of grub is high, it develops that there is grub scattered all over the country. Some is here and some are there, but all is headed in this direction, where fore you may munch your T-bone with mplacency and remember that its awful hard enjoying the hardships of Alaska.
 Now, for instance, there is Clancy with some 30 tons of stuff that is good to eat down at the mouth of the Idita- rod. Clancy used to run store on Garden Island where he was known by many people. He sold out the business there and started for the Iditarod, and 
 is just about to arrive with the goods. Most of that outfit, however, will be used by the Ideal cafe, for Clancy is a partner of Al Flakes, who is also q partner of Ernest Nehoff, the man who slips you the slapjack at that per fectly good eat emporium. Clancy is now engaged in bringing that stuff up here, distance of about 75 miles by the trail. He will be assisted by a mule and few aborigines.
 Then there is the Minneapolis at Lewis with lots of grub and 25 cases of lemons, to say nothing of the gin. Frank Miller, he of the Miners Home saloon, started the stuff down, bringing up the rear with the Glow. The Glow stopped for brief period at Hot 1 Springs and is still there, while Frank sits calmly swinging his legs from are at Lewis, the beer is at Hot Springs, but it's hard to say which has the best of it.
 The lemons will doubtless be brought over the trail, and the beer will be consumed at Hot Springs. Besides that there are some 20 tons of beef over there and the only way to con sume it is te bring the meat where somebody will have q chance to eat it. Diskaket also has grub and fresh beef. Vigeius and Edwards came over a few days ago and reported on the sit nation. Already, dog teams are basy on that line of communication.
 Some of these things that are short may be decidedly long on the price, but you might just as well cheer up. We are bound to live through the win ter, and the chances arc we'll have i lemon fer the rickey.

German balloon, pommcrn, which made
an ascension here Sunday, dashed three

The wind was almost gale at the

Herr Benruhn and man named Helm,
broke away before it had been com
plctely ballasted. 1t collided with tcle-
graph wires, dashed into the roof of n
neighboring factory, seriously injuring
its occupants, and disappeared in the
clouds.
The balloon was not seen again until
it reached Swinemunde, thirty six miles
northwest of Stettin, over which it
passed at height of 5000 feet, in the
direction of the sea
When the balloon fell into the sen tugs
were at the spot, but Del Brueck and
Benduhn had disappeared. The others

dragged aboard the vessel.
Helm died soon after being taken ON the
tug and Del Brueck's body was washed
ashore i'll the evening.

SUGAR COMPANY WINS,
United States Judge Refuses to Punish

a pleasant story Is also told In con

willing to give up everything, includ-

to pay all his debts. Among the assets
were some mining stocks of then lit

creditors, who knew how hOnOrably he
had acted, voted unanimously to return
the stocks to him, apparently as pos

Calumet & Hecla. had reached great
values, Mr., Shaw repaid his creditors

his life with an Infatuated baboon,
Fred Wilson, of Brazil, Ind, a trainer
employed by an animal show, fought
desperately for half an hour with Ko-
komo, a pink-tailed baboon, that at
tackled him in the cage. The savage
beast clutched Wilson's throat, but so
long as the trainer could keep on his
feet he had the best of the fight. At
length he fell, exhausted from the loss
of blood and strain, and the animal
gnawed at his legs in a frightful man
ner. A score of monkeys in the cage
kept up a shrill screaming during the
progress of the fight and this attracted
the attention of other employees, who
rescued Wilson.

English Lecturer Tells why Em-
pIoyers Like Them hest.
Political power is the only pathway
to economic independence" said Miss
Ethel Arnold, of England, in a lecture
at New York City a few days ago. The
lecturer told OF visit she paid to
big manufacturing town at the hour
when the employees were dismissed and
of how much better impression the 700
women, clear Of eye and skin, trim of
figure and Independent in bearing,
made than the men employees The
head OF the factory, commenting on
this, told her that the employers pre-
ferred them because they didn't drink,
gamble or have the unsteady habits of
men.
In speaking about the low rate OF
wages paid to women, the lecturer said
that if they demanded more they
would be ousted by the men as re-
suit. 1t was better a thousand times
that women should be ousted by the
men, she declared, than that they
should lower the standard OF wages
for honest work. The average OF mems
wages in the United Kingdom was
rather more than double that Of the
women, she said, and she continued,
less than half is not just nor fair
proportion under any system"
The speaker was loudly applauded
when she said: IT you exclude the
married women from the factory then
har ,JoR
share In the wages of her husband as
the keeper Of his house and the moth
ar of his children"
