EART, DYERS MAKES
 RE;C0RD RIVER TRIP

Earl Byers, who left here with II passengers for Sl. Michael on the launch Skwentna October 23, returned to Iditarud "Wednesday last. Accord ing to the authorities at Russian Mis- sion, his trip was the latest to be sue cessfulIy completed in the 65 years of the missions existence.
 When Byers left Iditarod there were many who doubted his ability to make the journey so late in the year, but ByerS himself was confident that the mild weather would hold, and he made the distance in less than five days. So unusual was the seaSon. however. that he was unable to obtain the services of I0dian pilots. and as q consequence, was compelled to lay over when dark ness came on. In spite of these delays, St. Michael was reached in ample time for the passengers to have caught the Victoria, which did not leave Nome until two days later. October 29. But at St. Michael another difficulty arose. Like the Indian pilots, the owners of the sea- going launches had mistrusted the weather. All their boats had been drawn up on the beach and they were unwilling to risk the journey across to Nome.
 The passengers then got together the sum of Sl, 800 and offered the same 10 the Victoria, if she would but call at St. Michael on her way out. But the captain would not listen to the pro- posal, stating that according to the terms of the ships insurance policy he had to be out of Boring sea by a cer- tain date Judge Murane was appealed to and also the ships agents at Seattle without result. After a little delay the Duxbury agreed to call for the passengers, who were thus enabled to proceed to Seattle without facing the hardships of the winter trail.
 The trip down the Iditarod and h. noko rivers was negotiated without mishap, but at Kotlik serious trouble was barely averted. In some unknown manner he gasoline csnght fire and part of the vessel was in flames. Byers immediately beached the launch, but it was 15 minutes before the flames could be smothered by blankets. At one time it looked as though the whole | works would go, but that disaster was saved them, the launch refoated anC journey resumed.
 No ice was seen, except little ir the Iditarod, and millions of wild geese were still to he seen at the mouth O

MEETING OF LADIES'
 HOSPITAL AUXILIARY

On Wednesday last at business meeting of the adies' Hospital Auxil- iary the following were appointed members of the finance committee: Mrs. Weir, Mrs. Saunders and Mrs. Graham.
 It was announced that the ladies of Flat, who are taking a keen interest in the work of the auxiliary, had secured enough nuggets from Flat creek to make nugget chain. Robert Simp- son has been entrusted with the making of the chain, and it will be rallied of at the hospital carnival in special booth, which will be fitted up by Flat creek ladies for the reception of wis itorS.
 The vote for the most popular lady in the camp will commence seven days before opening of the carnival, which is to take place at the 4. B. hall De- cember Ii and l5.
 Attention is again called to the grand ball which will be held at the conclu- sion of the carnival. There will be a small charge for admission to the ball, the proceeds of which will help to swell the funds to a considerable extent.

HOW NOME
 WAS NAMED

At last the mystery which has always hung over the source and mean ing of the word Nome has been solved A drafting clerk in the Coast and Geo detic Survey office has confessed that he, quite unintentionally, enriched geography with that musical mono syllable. No one," he says, was more surprised than I when I saw the name on the map. It happened in this way;
 "When the rush to the North took place on the discovery Of rich gold de- posits on the Klondike, the government found it necessary to make more com plete maps of the country. Surveying parties were rushed to the field, and as fast as their notes and plots were sent back to Washington they were turned over to this office to make the official maps. There were many par ties in the field, and the maps were being continually called for by the
 
 our office was rushed night and day.
 Now it fell to my lot to draft map of the Alaskan coast that runs south east from Bering Strait. The map was 10 be made from the field notes and plots sent by the surveying party in that district Sach notes and plots ,,l y,F mountains, capes, inIets and the like.
 Tn making the tracing of the coast down from Boring Strait l came across a he eadland for which neither notes nor plcts furnished name. Accordingly I made pencil note at the point, pnt- ting the word 'name?' with an interro- gation point after it, thinking that the chief, when he edited the map, would

put in the name if it had one or would think up one if it hadn't. In the hurry of the work and due also to the fact, I presume, that had written the letter a in the word name very much like O. the matter was passed by the revisers and my map sent to the eu- gravers in that shape.
 "A few weeks afterward I was as tonished on looking over stack of maps just engraved from my original, to see this particular headland desig mated as Cape Nome. When shortly afterward gold was discovered in the vicinity and camp established the e the town took the name of the cape, and is called Nome to this ay."-Ex.

LAWRENCE TO BRING REINDEER

Word has reached town that Harry Lawrence, who is a partner in the firm of Atchison & Lawrence, the Kaltag storekeepers, is bringing consign- ment of reindeer to the Iditarod. It is not known exactly when the animals will arrive, nor is it known how many head Lawrence is bringing. but he will probably arrive within two or three weeks. The reindeer brought here from the lower Kuskokwim last winter afforded a welcome change from beef and mutton, and there is no doubt the next consignment will be equally Rp- Dreciat ed

KUSKOkWIM LOOKS
 GOOD TO TAYLOR

T. J. Taylor, who arrived from Georgetown Wednesday and returned the following day, speaks very hope fully of that section of the Kuskokwim.
 The country below Georgetown looks good, says Mr. Taylor, and better re- ports are coming in all the time.
 Good prospects have been found on New York creek, which enters the Kuskokwim on the right limit, about five miles this side of Hoffman's.
 From the tributaries of the Aliak river, where Fred Labelle and partners are prospecting, reports of excellent prospects lead many to believe that a paystreak will be uncovered before the winter is much older. Several other streams look equally promising.
 There are quite a number of pros pectors on the lower Kuskokwim, and others are continually dropping in from the Iditarod.
 Georgetown is practically deserted, there being but two business houses: the N. c. Co. and the k. c. Co.
 Taylor describes the trail between Iditarod and Georgetown as pretty bad at present, owing to lack of snow.
 Mr. and Mrs. Stanford and Ed. Will kinson came ir little behind Taylor Stanford broke his sled on the trail and had to leave all his stuff behind.

 The beach at St. Michael is said to resemble the lditarod river as it was during the early summer, so many of the familiar boats being there. The whole of the Keystone outfit is in win ter quarters at St. Michael, and so is tho Dan. Swallow, Beaver, Skwentna and others.
 Byers is very appreciative reqardirg z the assistance rendered him 6 $ Nj chael by the g 'vt1nmu of cial , who not only placed the ways at his disposal, but also lent extra help to haul the boat out.
 Byers left St. Michael for lditarod by the winter route November 6 He is confident he could have brought his launch back to Dikeman had he so wished. The Yukon closed at Kaltag November l2.

SALOON MEN'S
 QUEER POSITION

Because the two young men who bought out Jack Lindsay's saloon at Haines did not know that the fling os an application to run saloon by one who had not before been in the busi- ness did not authorize them to sell liquors over the bar, and refused to believe it when they were so informed, they have lost an opportunity to get rich in the Lynn canal town, just now on the eve Of prosperity.
 Under the law, when a license el- plres, and new application has been filed, and the $1, ,O00 license fee deposited the saloon keeper may continue In business until the court acts. This provision does not aid in any way an applicant who is starting in business, and under the law he must wait until the court acts. When the new men who bought out Jack Lindsay applied for license, Judge Lyous was out of the district, ard all the licenses were held up, but they proceeded tos sell goods Complain. was made, but they con tinued to sell, and the facts were re- ported 10 the prosecuting attorneys $ office. Prosecuting Attorney Rust gard says there is nc doubt about the law. and that d license cannot now be granted to them. Their money will. however, be refunded, and it is possible that Jack Lindsay will again tako the place over.-Alaskan Sourdough.

SAM DUBIN AGAIN
 GETS THE MONEY

Residents of Diskaket and Kaltag are still talking Mud river, and it is freely stated that stampede of consid- erable proportions will set in in that direction this winter
 Late news received in Diskaket is to the effect that Sam Dublin and another prospector have struck good pay, while several parties have good prospects.
 Dublin will be remembered as one of the earliest owners of ground on Flat creek.

SMI'I'IT-OLSEN
 MARRIAGE

One Of the most interesting weddings which have taken place in the history of the camp was that of Mr. Joseph Hugh Smith and Miss Louise J. Olsen at 5 o'clock last Sunday evening.
 The ceremony was performed at the residence of the bride on Black street Mrs. Robert Graham gave the bride away and Robert Pritchard stood up with the bridegroom. Robert Graham and A. c. Creamer were the only wit 1 nesses. The bride was attired in light blue of dainty and becoming shade. The affair had been kept so quiet that even Dr. s. Hall Young, who per formed the ceremony, did not know for whom his services were requil ed until he was ushered into the room contain ing the wedding party.
 The first news of the wedding to reach the public came when the party retired to the private dining room of the Merchants Cafe, where a dainty dinner had been prepared, and the table decorations of yellow and white, mellowed by the soft glow from cande- those fortunate enough to be present. The numerous friends of the couple were not slow in collecting all the noisy things in camp. They assembled  outside the Smith residence on Third avenue and disturbed the neighborhood with cowbells, shotguns and tirecrack- CTS, ladies bringing up the rear with all the pots and pans they could spare. Many and sincere were the toasts drunk to 1he happy couple when the last of the charivari party had man. aged to squeeze inside very fall house.
 Mrs. Smith is sister of Mrs. Lief Holt, formerly of Fairbanks creek. Alaska. She resided with her sister there during the years 1905 and 1906, where she made many friends by her sonal qualities. Alter four years so- journ with her mother in St0ughton, Wisconsin, and friends in Sea tile, the call of the wild brought her back to Alaska, where she cast her lot and has met the man of her choice
 MT. Smith was for several years con nected with one of the leading hard ware firms of Dawson. In 1905 he decided to go 10 Fairbanks and start business for himself The houses of Smiths Gun Store in Fairbanks and Iditarod are products of his energy and ability and show tLat he knows the needs of the people of the Nor1hland. During the year 1909 he was mayor of Fairbanks.
 Mir. Smith has extensive mining in- terests situated in different par,s of the country that have shown good prospects and some day may prove to be good producers.
 Mr. and Mrs. Smith were the recip- tents of many costly and useful pres ents in token of the esteem in which they are held by their numerous friends.
 They will hold an informal reception at their beautiful home next Monday evening, November 27, from 8 to II. ! They will be at home to their friends after December l.

NEWARK NEARLY
LOST THE PORT
Bill Was introduced in 1898
to That Effect.

Newark has every reason for be-
ing afraid the port of Newark will
be consolidated with the port of
Perth Amboy. if the present agita-
ton should be acted upon AS long
ago as 1898 such a measure was
advocated by Secretary of Treasury
Lyman j. Gage, but was lost on the
floor when Congress ascertained the
tr1tIing saving 1t would be to the
United States. At that time, and in
the drafted bill, Newark was to be
combined with New York and the
smaller ports of South Jersey with
Philadelphia and the port of Perth
Amboy.
Collector Robert Carson, the re-
off 1 ! Of f. his PqeeEE55 Tar ba5d age"T6
the House of Representatives and
appended a copy of the bill wrafted
following Mr.. Cages recommended
lions. One Of the suggestions was to
place all custom house collectors on
a salary, instead of a percentage
basis. This, the secretary held,
would greatly increase the income of
the United States ports for the fed
eral government. But despite the
many favorable duFOCdteu
the measure was defeated and not
until this year has such a plan been
promoted again.
At that time which was on Feb
ruary s, 1898, the Port of Perth
Amboy was paying commission sal
airy of s~4,624.25, which, if consoli-
dated with the ports of Little and
Great Egg Harbor, would bring the
total considerable owe $4,000, the
present figures. The bill introduced
at that time advocated a stated sal
airy $4,000 per year for these three
ports. Newark was at that time
paying a commission salary of 81,
10000 and would have become {
part of the New York port. Peril
Amboy would be the only port il

WORK ON PLANS
FOR NEW BRIDGE
Structure Will Span Wood
bridge Creek at State St.

Sketches for an iron bridge across
Woodbridge creek at State street are
being prepared by County Engineer
F. F. Simons. The Board Of Free
holders recently awarded a contract
to J. c. Fowler, Of Sewaren, for
erecting a concrete bridge across a
branch Of the Woodbridge creek on
the line of the road between Wood
bridge and Port Reading, and has
practically decided that a new struc-
ture on the line of State street is
necessary. Mr.. Simons expects to
have the sketches in shape shortly
for presentation to the freeholders
and they may then decide upon the
kind Of structure that is needed.
Trolley and other heavy traffic
along State street compels the cree
ton Of a strong brige. The proposed
new one will, in all probability, be
of iron and cantilever construction.
The present bridge has been re-
temporarily so that trolley
cars can cross, but owing to falling
abutments 1t is believed the struc-
ture will go out of commission again
In a short time.
Engineer Simons announces that
