Here's a Turf One
 From the LyCeum
Flat City, Just After New Yea

rat Clty, Just AIler Ne" ear.
 Editor Iditarod Pioneer:-The follow ing problem, brought to our notice by the actual experience of a Flat creek "roughneck" recently, has caused no end of perturbation in the midst of our debating society. One man knows the answer and refuses to divulge it, and the Bunkhouse Lyceum has reached d stage of desperation where it is willing to give, free, gratis, for nothing, life membership in the society 10 the one giving the correct solution. This is the problem:
 A man has bar of gold worth $500. He stops at Flat creek hotel for 30 days at the rate of BIO day. What is the least number of times he may cut his bar of gold in order to settle his account each day, the settlements be- tween himself and the hotel proprietor to be carried on entirely ill terms of the bar of gold without the aid of cur rencs?
 All communications may be addressed to the Bunkhouse Lyceum, Flat City For the second best solution we will give au Ingersoll watch imported by the A. C. Co. especially for the Ram part trade. Fraternally yours,
 BUNKHOUSE LYCEUM.

COMING AND GOING

Tom McMahon, the Flat City mer- chant, hit the trail last Tuesday morn- ing for the Innoko diggings, where he goes on business, and will shortly con- tinue on his way to the Outside via Fairbanks, where he will spend the balance of the winter.
 Aaron Longnecker, the pioneer saw mill man of the Innoko valley, arrived in town last Monday from Moore creek, where he has been for the past month
 O. NJ. Anderson, the well-known ac- countant, has been appointed as busi- ness agent at Fiat City for Keys X Mayhan's stage and freight line, aud is now on the job.
 Although it is tr1e early to talk about the first boats, there is one man in town who will be watching them with keen interest. This is Dave Fer guson, of the Mecca saloon, who is just in receipt of letter to the effect that he must get busy on the rooftree for his vile will be passenger on the very first steamer that pokes her nose up those water, if she guesses right, and she thinks she can. Incidentally she mentions the fact that the entire tax roll of Fairbanks will be enrolled as passengers on that very same boat.
 They do Say that John Moe sold out his Globe saloon at Fairbanks. and then, after strolling around for day or so without anything on his mind but his hair, suddenly found himself in possession of the saloon agtiu. Having made he deal, John took the check to the bank to see how good it was. They began counting out the money, but John stopped them. No use taking the money if the check was go3d- might just as well leave it there. John took another stroll and some person without sense of humor strolled in and attached the bank account against which Johns purchaser had been checking. It was rather tough, but John got the saloon back again.

CHARTER COMMISSION
May Be Ready to Report in Two Weeks-ProbahIe Changes Advocat-

It is believed that the special com mission recently appointed ito inyesti
 gate as to what is needed by Daniel
 son in the way of charter changes will be ready to report in about two weeks; that is, their suggestions will have been formulated. One of the members of the commission is quoted ito ths effect that the changes from the pres ont charter form will not be radical, the idea being to cut the dead wood, so to speak, from the present instru
 ment and make some additions that seem to be needed, these changes to be presented to the voters for ratifica
 tdon or rejection perhaps within the month. The plan of extending the term of members of the court of bur eesses to three years has not found favor with a majority of the commis- sion, and it will probably be recorn- mended that the term remain one year, as at present The commission is also working on a section that will relate to the care and cleaning of sidewalks. it being felt that a provision dealing with this matter should be incorporated in any new charter. The initiative, referendum and recall clauses prQpos- ed for a. nsw charter it is understood, are not favored by the commission.

The facts have just become known of the extremely narrow escape from
 death of Hugh Anderson at his home on North Main street Wednesday evening. During the heavy electric storm that passed over the borough he went to the door to close the blinds. Rain was falling in torrents. thus transforming everything into an elec- tric conductor. While. his hand was on the handle there came the .blinding flash at 7.30 and MT. Anderson was thrown to the floor of the hall. Un- able to move, he called to his wife, who. badly frightened, called in Mrs
 W. H. Tift, who lives near by. MT
 Anderson was taken to Norwich. where it was found necessary to pass power : ful currents of electricity through his body to reduce the highly electrified condition of his system. The p1lyHi- cians here and in Norwich claim that the simple fact that Mir. Anderson has an exceptionally strong heart saved his life. Had conditions been other wise in that particular, he would have been ki1fsd by lightning No evidence
