 NEW DISTRICT

The proposed new trail to the Aniak by way of Kolnak ofsky would result i'll much sbeneht to this section if constructed. It will be remembered that during the early days of the camp there was a stampede to the head of the Idit- arod, and although the reports re ceived were conflicting, there is no doubt that good indications and some prospects were found.
 Il completed, the trail would pass along the Iditarod to it's head, and thus make communication with that district comparatively easy and inexpensive. It certainly would lead to more prospecting in that vi ciUity.

FIRE ON
 OTTER CREEK

Perhaps the saddest tragedy which has occurred in Iditarod happened late last week on Otter creek, when Lona, the six-months-oId daughter of Mir and Mrs. Sam Bates, was so badly burned that she died the following day and was buried here last Monday.
 Mr. and Mrs Bates had been re- modelling their dwelling house on Otter creek for the winter, and had moved into their brother Gllbert's cabin ad joining, while the change was in prog ress.
 About noon on Friday, October Is, Mr. Bates was working in the house when he called his wife to ask her opinion about the internal arrange ments. Mrs. Bates went into the cabin and spent two or three minutes in con Yersation with her husband She then returned to the cabin in which she was living, and in which the baby was sleeping; being followed at short dis tance by her husband. Just as Mir Bates reached the house he heard his wife scream, and through the binding snowstorm he could see smoke pouring from the cabin. He entered and caught hold of the baby's cot and dragged it toward the door, but was met there by Mrs. Bates. with the baby in her arms. Ltseems that the baby had been on the bed and not in the cot, as Mr. Bates had supposed.
 Carrying her baby, which was ex- hausted and badly scorched in the legs, face snd arms, Mrs. Bates ran through the storm to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Chronister and Dr. Wortmann and Mrs. Davis, of Flat were notified.
 Meanwhile Mr. Bates turned his attention to the cabin, the interior of which was now ablaze, but the storm was so bad that the neighbors could not see the fire and he could get DO help. Eventually the fire was over come, but it was found thaS practically all of the contents had been destroyed. The fire had started in the moss.
 In spite of the storm, Dr. Wortmann and Mrs. Davis set cut for Discovery upon receipt of the call, and arrived about two hours after the fire had started. Examination showed that the baby had been badly burnt, although there appeared to be hopes of recovery But on Saturday it was seen that the babe was sinking and at 8;l5 pm. the same day it died.
 The funeral was held from the Smith undertaking pariors, and was attended by large number of mourners. The burial service was read by Mir. E. Coke Hill, while Mrs. Larson and Mrs. Maher sang appropriate hymns.
 The sympathy of the whole com munity goes out to Mr. and Mrs. Bates in the hour of their irreparable loss.

DAVIS PLAYS 4 JOKE
 ON THOMAS P. AITKEN

Last weeks Idtarod Pioneer con- tained an extract from q Fairbanks paper in which it was stated Tom Davis had sold out his interests on Happy to Tom Aitken for $5, 900. Now that $5, 900 seems to have been one of Davis little jokes, Tom Aitken did make a bid for the property, but the price to be paid was a cipher short of Davis'-$50O to wit. When the deed arrived here it had that little tackled on all right, but Aitken couldn't see it that way. He thought it was carrying the joke a too far.

Readers of the Iditarod Pioneer will remember that reports came from the Ariak last winter of several petty thefts which had occurred in that region. MT. Howard tells us the thefts synchronized with the presence of certain young man in the Aniak, who is now spending hard-earned vacation at Panama. In one instance $60 in dust was taken from poke, during few minutes absence from home of the owner. Our young friend was sus- pected at the time, but he had such an lair" about him nobody had the heart to accuse him.
