A NEW LUMBER YARD

Competition Is the life or trade. and if there Is any truth Co tho statement the more lumber wards We have the more activity should Doe seen in tH, land. Hut there are exceptions ta au rules and we doubt very much if th,r, is great opening for a new yard her, in Nome.
 Activity always is noticed m new boom camps where much building is going on. ur where a camp has been unfortunate Co ho visited by great cuuhagratinu But Nome over did her self tu such an extent in the early days so far as consuming lumber is con cerued that the demand for this ma terial has not been sufficient tn keep one maH busy during Che past few years
 We always welcome competition in any industry and trust if the new mm- her yard Is established. there will be an eyer increasing demand for their product and should the camp cxperi- snce quartz boom which is quite probable now that We have our Custom Miil there may be business enough to keep tw" wards going

TWENTY MILLION CIGARS A DAY

There are 2o.ooo.o GOO cigars consumed daily in the United States alone. and the importance of the establishment in this country of plantations that can produce high grade Havana and Su- matra cigar wrappers. can only be realized when the immense total ot the consumption of cigars Is kept In mind. Looking at the matter from a practical standpoint 1t seems singular that this country has depended SD long upon the small districts in Sumatra and Cuba adapted to the production of this high grade tobacco leaf for it's choicest brands of cigars. but it has seemed in years past absolutely impossible to produce anything to compare with it.

CLEVELAND, o., Jan. al
Following an examination today
by physicians, it is feared that
Abe Attell's fighting days are over
as a result of the fracture of his
right arm received in his fight
last night with Tommy Kilbane of
Cleveland. The accident occurred
in the fourth round. The men had
been fighting at a terrific pace
when they went into a clinch.
Both fell to the floor, with Attell
Attell was rushed to
a hospital, where it was found that
the funny" bone in his right arm
was broken. Physicians say his
arm will be of little use hereafter
Kilbane was given the decision on
a technicality.

well, he's worth a good deal.

Then you think he's really i'm

chief to her eyes. Whereupon he

up at him; the attempt was a mis-

burst into tears.

Men in touch with the situation

possible-or mpolitic-the influ-
ence of Boss Murphy and Big Tim
Sullivan, which is the Tammany
influence, is counted upon to pre-
vent interference.

which something less than nothing
