LET'S ALL GET TOGETHER
AND CLEAR OFF a RINK

Nearly every day some enthusiastic
skater mourns the fact that there is
still nothing done about a skating
rink, and others who cannot skate
are crying for some one to take the
initiative and open or clear space
on the lake sufficiently large for at
least a good tumble. There is really
no excuse or reason why we Chitina
people can not be enjoying this splen-
did winter pastime, as the Katalla
Company officials have offered to
flood the rink for us at any time.
But first of all, team and scraper
must be employed to clean off the
snow which is now too deep to per-
NIT of good flooding. The Leader
suggests that on Tuesday morning
Thos. Holland, Deputy Marshal
Brown and AL. Brimmer be appoint
ed a committee of three to take the
work in charge, hire a team, clean
off the snow and take up a collec-
ton among the skaters-it shouldn't
cost over so cents apiece-and then
notify Station Agent Lawson, who
will see that the rink is flooded the
same night. It's the only way to get
to skating, and if we don't hurry
there will be little left of this great
sport before the thaw comes. Now
hurry and get busy.

FIRST TRIP OF ID. DAVIS WITH
TON51NA-NIZINA MAIL

D. Davis, who has the mail con-
tract for the Tonsina-Nizina mail
route, arrived at the roadhouse at
mile 1873 Tuesday on his first winter
trip with mail and supplies. He left
Valdez on the Gath of December, and
was joined at the Tiekhel roadhouse
by Pete Peterson, of Peterson &
Vaughin's roadhouse near Copper
Mountain, who is taking in his win
ter and summer supplies. Mr.. Davis
reports the trail in fairly good con-
dition and says he met number of
mushers from the inside on their
way to the coast, as well as several
freight outfits hauling supplies to the
different roadhouses. He states that
there is considerable comment on the
new trail in comparison to the freight
rates from Valdez and Chitina, and
that the majority of freighters claim
they can freight much cheaper from
the Glacier City to any of the interior
points than from Chitina. They much
prefer the cutoff trail, as it is better
and eliminates the Thompson Pass,
but say the freight rates to Chitina
are still too high to compete with
Valdez rates.

MUSHER HAS BOTH FEET
BADLY FROZEN ON TRAIL

A telephone message came to Dep
uty Marshal Brown from Marshal
Sullivan, of Valdez, on Sunday, noti-
flying him of a man who had both
feet frozen on the trail, and told him
to secure medical aid as soon as the
unfortunate man arrived in Chitina.
The man was taken by the Orr
stage from the summit, or Paxton's
roadhouse, and brought to Chitina.
He is a foreigner by the name Of
Mike Martinovich, and as soon as
he was taken to a room in the Hotel
Chitina, was interviewed by a Lead
err representative. He stated that
he started to mush from Fairbanks
to Valdez, and after about five days
out got into some overfiows along the
delta, where his moccasins got wet,
and before being able to reach a
roadhouse, or secure dry clothing,
his feet began to freeze. He also
stated that he lay for 16 hours about
eight miles from the Paxton road
house before he was picked up, and
had to fight the cold by continuous
moving of the body and arms to keep
from freezing. DR.. Smith, who was
telephone to, was unable to leave
the brid"e camp, but sent his assist
ant, Hospital Steward Farrally, to
Chitina, who dressed the mans feet.
Martinovich seemed quite despond-
ent, and stated that he felt as though
he might as we'll be dead as to have
his feet frozen. 1t is not known
whether the toes will have to be am
putated though the legs and ankles
are apparently all right, and, under
the circumstances, Martinovich
should consider himself in pretty
good luck after all,
