Work appreciated.

We, the patrons OF Webb public
school, feeling deeply grateful to
Misses Lizzie Stewart and Mary
Thomas for their good and etli-
lent work as teachers during the
past term, do hereby extend to
hem our heartfelt thanks.
We believe that each OF them
have placed their minds on and
,hpir souls into the work, and We
know that they have accomplished
much good. The children have
taken greater interest in their
school work and have eluade re-
markable progress during the
erm, and that this was the re-
suit OF their painstaking care and
effort m their behalf.
Miss Lizzie has been principal
If our school for the past . term,

children and all concerned than
vas accomplished in the past tel
years.
To further show our apprecia

ye have called them as our teach

Senator John Sharp William
has already realized one ambition
since his promotion TO the Unite
States senatc-vlz., to occupy tn
seat in tie chamber which wa
occupied by Senator Jefferson Dt
Wis, president of the Confederac
J and senator from Mississippi. Fo
: the last few years the seat ha
been occupied by Senator owe
Of Oklahoma, who surrendered

that thirteen or fourteen yea
ago Senator Williams, then
member Of the house OF represai

ambition to 90 to the senate al
= to occupy the seat OF Senator Jt

SWAT TREFLT

Also the musquli0. NOW Is tlie
time for the good housewife, maid
and housekeeper generally to swat
the ly, to smite him both hip and
thigh. Not that We are blood
thirsty. Far from it. In our i'm
fancy and youth We were taught
not to kill a fly, and We yet have 4
conscientious scruples about 1t,
Very few of them have We slaugh- .
tered, leaving that to more pre-
tended and hypocrlucal humanIta-
rians. The best way to AVOID mur
dering the innocents is TO practice
fiy-race suicide, and the best way
to do this is to practice sanitation;
in other words, keep clean; remem
bering always that cleanliness Is
next to godhness. Some people
think that quotation is from tht
bible; but it isn't; Henry Ware
Beecher said that, and never did
he speak a greater truth. Well
guarantee if everybody will keer
clean premises and allow no stag
nant water to be around, they will
see very few flies and no musqul-
toes at all. Some people say flies
are NATURES scavengers. Possibly
true-to nature, but if there were
nothing to scavenge we would not
need 'em. Premises can be kept
cleaul Behold a sanitarium; learn
of its ways and be wise, and let
every household be a sanitariuh
unto itself. Better spend a few
shekels cleaning up than to spend
many dollars for drugs and doctor
bills. Better to lose time disln-
iecting your premises than to lost
both time and money in nursing
your loved ones through a spell o.
sickness caused by your negE
gence. To our notion the fly has
always been a disease carrying
messenger and unwelcome guest
Hatched in corruption and bred il
filth his hyship could hardly b
otherwise and be true to itself.
The fly has never treated us, IN
all reality, like we have treate'

MASONIC BALL ID BE
 THE FINEST EYER

The Washington Birthday Ball at the A. B. hall in Flat city to be given by the Otter Masonic Club is heralded as one of the swellest society events of the winter
 The Masons of the creeks have laid themselves out to produce a function that will be an eye-opener, and it is unquestionably true that the ball will have as big all attendance as anything that has been pulled of in the Iditarod.
 The committee on arrangements wishes to emphasize the fact thaC the grand march starts promptly at 9:30 The invitations are out and a great many people will take in the affair from this city.

They Will Fight
 in District Court

Not satisfied with the verdict that went against them in Commissioner Maltby's court last Saturday evening .fter q hard fight, Cornelius Buckley, Joe Henry and Ed Sinclair have filed notice and bond on appeal, and will fight in the district court for the pos session of the lot they jumped in Flat City, and which was claimed by Char les E. Taylor, commissioner of that precinct.
 The case was strenuously fought here, and considerable atmosphere was masticated by the attorneys on either side.
 Albrecht and Harding, for the plaint- if, contended that Taylor's right to the possession of the lot was absolute under lease from the owners of the Pros pector association, upon which the town of Flat is built. The defendants claimed that so long as the ground was open they had a right to take it. The evidence showed that there was fence around it, and had been for some time. In addition, it seems that Taylor had hauled few logs onto the premises.
 The jury deliberated for some time and finally brought in verdict estab, fishing Taylor's claim.
 The case was interesting as showing precedent for other similar cases that will come up from Flat, and may have d marked influence in putting an end to the wholesale jumping that has oeen going on here.

MANHOOD WATSON
 KUPTIALS WEDNESDAY

It was a very pretty wedding that consummated youthful romance at the home of Mir. and Mrs. Watson on Will low street last Wednesday night, when Miss Vivian Watson and Mir. Manley Mayhood were united in the entrancing bonds of Tnatrimony.
 The knot was tied by Commissioner Alfred E. A1alihy in the presence of MT. and Mrs. Watson, MT. Mayhood and Mrs. and Miss Roscoe.
 The legal ceremony is very simple, but the momentous event itself was followed by merry feast whereat all smiled upon the happy couple and wished them we'll.
 The bride is a charming young lady who has lived with her parents in Fair banks for several years past. She is a graduate of the Fairbanks high school and was one of the popular members oi the younger set in that city.
 The groom is the son of C. F. May hood who came 60 the Iditarod from Fairbanks late this fall. He is popular young man, well liked and respected.
 The young couple will make ther, home in the lower end of the city

Price Warns Away
 From Red Mountain

In a letter received by Mrs. J. J. Price from her husband, who recently hurried to the Red mountain country in the Koyukuk with Mace Farrar, MT. Price says that he has looked the country over and finds that it is not very promising.
 In the hasty survey that he made, he found absolutely nothing to justify B stampede, and sends the news back for the many who are COT templating a triE to the new strike.
 He is not satisfied to quit at once, but will take in small boiler to sink some holes on the ground that was staked for him. It is probable that he will not return here until late in March

 Billy Bates and Alex Hately are also after one, and will doubtless resort to the same expedient.
