If the values prove satisfactory to the pros pective purchasers, the biggest deal ever pulled off on the Kenai peninsula will result.-Seward Gateway.
 How would you like to see the Kenai peninsula, or the greater part of it, thrown into a game preserve, in which the animal life therein would be inn muue from slaughter the entire year round, with penal servitude facing a violation of the regulation creating it, asks the Seward Gateway. We are near CT on the verge of such consummae ton than most people hereabouts real ize, and it is up to the men in the hills or largely SO, whether or not it shall come to pass. Those who have the pow CT to make such a regulation are not unaware that the Kenai peninsula is the great game country of Alaska. They are also fully alive to the fact that there has been a wanton destruc- tion of this wild game They know as well as we who live on the ground that the game law is a dead letter to numere ous. persons who gain livelihood by trapping or hunting for the markets Chat these persons have a wholesome contempt for the wardens of game and miss no opportunity to harass and hin- der their work of preservation.
 Mai. J. P. A. Strong, governor of Alaska, is paying an official visit to Nome, says Scott o. Bone in the Seattle P.-I. The enthusiastic greeting given him is at once understood and appreci ated at this range by those fortunate Seattleites included in tne Chamber of Commerce party which recently toured the territory. Their memory of Nome is a very pleasant one, indeed. At no stopping place on the S,O00-miIe jour uey was whole-souled hospitality more marked. the cordiality of the welcome more pronounced, or the twenty four hours entertainment more delightful Nomes latchstring was out from the moment the much bewildered visitorss landing via the spectacular aerial tram, reached the wharf, where half the pop ulation, at least, had assem- bled. Com mittees of ladies and gentlemen ex- tended hearty greetings to Che stran- gers, individually and collectively. Then a procession was formed, headed by Seth Mann, which marched double file through the streets, to the stirring music of a brass band, to the principal hotel. Two hours later big reception and ball was held at Eagle hall, where feHcitous speeches were made. Nome's welcome was emphasized by the pres entaGion of pretty nugget pin to each lady of the party as souvenir of the visit. The Log Cabin Club kept open house for the men. Next day Eskimo canoe races and Eskimo dances were provided for the entertainment of the visitors, and the all too heeting hours were otherwise most pleasantly spent in becoming better acquainted with the far-away city and it's hospitable people.

 Soon some of the disappointed stam- peders may be expected to return and knock the country. Many who came from other sections and started from McCarthy's over the trail had scarcely sufficient food to get them to the new gold diggings. In some instances they will be compelled to return after day or two there, not having had sufficient time to even look over the ground. Others have returned when only par tially in, while again some came only as far as Cordova, wisely realizing that they did not have the means to pur- chase the food necessary to remain ID the interior and do any locating and prospecting. Naturally some of tbe men referred to will knock the country in order to explain their failure to make good. 1t has been this way ever since gold stampedes have been heard of and likely will continue.-Chitina Lender
