Monday and brought a half dozen

as good as average corn is expected
to be. He got these ears from his
crib just before leaving. They were
of last years gathering, and he did
not select them, but took them as he
came to them, and every ear is as
sound as it was when first put into
his crib. There is no evidence of a

 Both Keys & Mayhan. and the Mutch. Ter Btos. have adopted new rates both for freight and passengers for the time has come when it is no longera pleasure to skim lightly from Iditarod to Flat or vice versa.
 Passenger rates are now 8 both ways or $l0 for the round trip, and they are sorely tempted to charge any per- son weighing over 150 pounds according to the freight rate. Three and a halt cents a pound will be charged from Iditarod to Flat, and 43c to Discovery Otter or up Flat creek. ....'

 The story did not say that Flat creek was in the hands of the octopus but it is merely begging the ques on to say that it is not. The vital part of the whole proposition lays in the practical certainty that Flat creek is very apt to be in the hands of group of persons and that before another year has rolled around Although the deal is still progressing there is little likelihood that the outlook of the camp for the will be materially changed and apprehension need be felt about the Der of men employed and the gold harvested.

NOT MORE THAN ID
 GALLONS AROUND

It is now unlawful for any person to keep more than 10 gallons of gasoline on his premises within the city fire limits, unless he keeps it for sale, and in manner prescribed by ordinance, or in such manner as to meet with the approval of the authorities.
 The council passed the fire ordinance last Wednesday night, and it is now in full force and effect. It would be we'll for anyone contemplating building to look into the matter as viewed by the city, for there are certain regulations to be observed in regard to materials, balloon ceilings and the placing of lights. Balloon ceilings are tabooed altogether, and the lights must not be placed closer than IS inches to the ceiling, and must have an asbestos pro- lection besides. Stove pipes must be put in in the proper manner, and looked after carefully, and walls and roofs shall not be made of celluloid.
 One may have his tank full of gaso- line and case in the house besides, but that is as far as you can go.
 The fire limits, as fixed by the or dinance, lay within Otter street on the west, Third street on the south, Black on the east, and the Iditarod river on the north. A slight change was made in the limits at first fixed to include the north side of Caribou street.
