name was Diana L. Aiken and her
fathers and grandfather's home
where she was married is one Of

travelled stage route for many years
before any railroad was operated in
Vermont and Marquis de Lafayette,
the great Frenchman who was on
Gen. George Washington's staff dur
ing the revolution, and did much to
enlist French aid for the colonists'
cause. was entertained there on his
second visit to this country after
constitutional government was es-
tablished. Her father, Hiram
Aiken, was several times q member
of the Vermont legislature and Mr..
Culver served in the same body in
the early seventies. In 1876 Mr..
and Mrs. Culver and their children
moved to Iowa, locating at Des
Moines, where they resided for .
number of years. From there they
went to Jamestown, North Dakota.

retary of the North Dakota Loan
and Trust Company. and he wrote
the first charter of the city. Their
eldest son. now deputy collector Of

paper business. and in 1892 bought
the land near Doe Bay. Orcas island.
where they now have one Of the
most delightful farm homes in the
county of which Mr.. Culver is justly
proud, for its attractiveness is
largely due to his good taste and
hard labor. He is q great lover Of
outdoor life and likes to think that
there are
Sermons in stones
Books in the running brooks
And good in everything"
According to their desire the OBJ
sevance of their wedding anniversary
was quite informal. They much
appreciated the kindly greetings of
the many friends and acquaintance
who called to see them du:ing the
afternoon and evening. In the af-
ternoon the older friends and neigh
bors called, and in the evening the
younger folk gathered to pay their
respects. There was some appro-
pirate music, recitations and the oc-
casion was greatly enjoyed by those
present.
Mr.. and Mrs. Culver desire the
Islander to extend to all their sim
cere thanks and good wishes.

r amOuS Smoke Case
 May Be Compromised

Washington, March I5--It is under stood that the famous case of the United States vs. the Anaconda Cop- per Mining company of Butte, Mon tana, brought for the purpose of en- joining the operation of the Washoe stnelter at Anaconda, the largest smell ter in the world, will be compromised by the payment of heavy damages on the part of the company for destruction of timber on the public domain.
 The Washoe shelter treats ten thousand tons of copper ore each day, during which great volumes of sulphur and arsenic gases are thrown off, to the damage of surrounding farms and forests. The farmers of the Deer Lodge valley sued the company several years ago, in one of the most expensive cases ever tried. It took over year to hear the testimony of witnesses and experts. The farmers lost their case. but afterwards succeeded in starting a government prosecution.

 Biggest Nugget

Fairbanks, March 2I. - A nnggest weighing SI.35 ounces was on Wednes- day picked up on Ga. Fairbanks creek by Fred Ellum, the owner and operator of the claim. It is largely shot with quartz, but its value IS estimated at ST. 900 at least. It is the largest nugget ever found in the camp, but not the most valuable, as that distinction is held by the chunk picked up by J. L. Tobin, of Pa. Dome creek, four years ago. This nugget was valued at I3,ooo.
 The nugget was fouId by Ellum over on the left limit of the creek. Tn the course of his work he encountered a reef ot rock on the top of which was lodged a number of boulders and rocks. One these proved to be the big nugget, and he also found some smaller nuggets The big nugget shows signs of much wear. Some are inclined to the belief that new left-limit paystreak will be uncovered.

ENTERTAIN
 ABOUT 50 COUPLES

The big dance given last Saturday evening at the A. B. hall at Flat by the Eagles gathered there from all parts of the North, will be one of the well-remembered social events of the winter. There were Eagles from all parts of the creeks, and 6 good-sized crowd took advantage of the splendid floor, to say nothing of the good eats that were handed out to be gently di- luted by bottled hops.
 Owing to the misfortune that over took Iditarod, there were not as many from this city in attendance as was hoped, but they had a great time any way.
