'' JIMMY THE BAKE"
 HAVING TROUBLE

Travellers arriving in the city during the week tell of the trials and tribulatlons on the Seward trail of Jimmy the Baker" who left here week ago today with five dogs to make record breaking trip. Rumor has it that Jimmys team was all right until the Ruby roadhouse was reached, at which place Jimmy and Danny Bryce, who was along stopped for dinner. They left there at 30 in the afternoon, and Bryce, after cautionng Jimmy to keep a-golng, went on ahead, After reaching the head of Bonanza creek, Danny waited about an hour for the record breaker, but he did not show Danny immediately retraced his weary steps, expecting to meet ''the Bake, y whom he finally found only four miles be- yond the noon-hour stopping place, doing a ''siwashing" stunt with two of his dogs peluk It is believed that the balance of Jimmy's malamutes will last till he reaches Takotna, when Danny will place the little chap snugly in one corner of his sled and haul him to Seward.

Our citizens will be pleased to learn that Mir. "Dogboat" Myers is yet in the land of the living. as the following telegram from Nulato will inform them, and that he is still "inycntioning As to the where abouts of Mr Myers since he departed from this ylace in his wonderful craft the mes sage is woefully silent, but it is certainly great pleasure to know that he has finally showed up all right. Mir Myers has de cided to establish his large boat building wards at Fairbanks, and says the industry would have been located at lditarod but for the pernicous jealousy displayed to- ward the inventor by the "gasoline kids"

 He complains bitterly of the treatment accorded him by the gasoline kids at ldlta- rod says that they were jealous, atrad that he was going to take away all ther trade, and went so far as to tamper with his boat putting it out of commission.
 All who have been so fortunate as to have an opportunity to see his boat in oc- tion are struck with the marvellous con trcl ke has over his engine room force.

 The Fairbanks Commercial Club will try to get aIl hrst-clas mail matter routed over the trail to Fairbanks, both summer and winter. This is being done in view of the fact that the mail contracts are to be let rcxt year. It Is hoped that by that time the trail route for fast automobiles will have been proven feasible. The club will slso ak the department to store al second class mails for the interior at Chitina IF rIace of Cordova The reason for the re quest is that the Copper River X North western railroad is frequen,lty blocked tC such en extent that the mails do not get through to Chitina for weeks whereas Ii the mail was all brought to Chltina in place cf lying at Cordoya. the stages could bring their limit each time, regardless of whether or not the railroad was closed to oppratoln It is stated that a building for storing the mail st Chitina has been offered to the government free of charge.
 An epidemic of infantjlo naralvejS ""@ rrevalent among the natives near Hot Springs in October, and 8 nunUer ol ,.r~,--- resulted. Dr. Hall assistant conor"'s~'"Hpr of health at Fairbanks, suggested that the native Villages be quarantlneu, as he feared the disease would spread among the na tives, and might be communicated to the white inhabitants along the river.

 Contrary to the expectation Of many, the women of the Fourth judicial division will not be given the right to serve as jurors enjoyed by the sterner sex, but careful perusal of the legislative enactment dlspels at the present session of court, says the Fairbanks Times. The law passed by the First territorial legislature gave women the right to vote, but nothing more. Many Alaskans were under the impression that the fair ones were to be given all rights this idea
 On October 31 the wireless station at Fairbanks succeeded in communicating with the steamship Victoria at a distance of ,OO0 miles The steamer was proceeding from Seattle toward Dutch Harbor and was located little southeast of Unlmak pass when the operators exchanged com pliments. The experience Is a rare one, and the climatic and static conditions must be excellent for the Fairbanks station to com municate with any other place so far re, moved, as the radio plant there is not high | powered.

The measles epidemic on Kodiak and Afognak islands is causing the utmost alarm amoug the natives and among ttem also he disease is having very serious effect. Numbers are dying following lung troubles accompanying the sickness, and Secretary ol he Interior Lane has directed officers who gre doctors to proceed to the islands to yeat the natives Reports show that the ..iGemc is proving veritable scourge and if not checked will result in the declmatlon { the natives.
 For the first time in his life, William Jul Ian of Circle saw a moving picture show re gently in Fairbanks, while he had the ex- citing experience of sighting an automobile fer the first time at Fairbanks creek, alter arriving over the trail from the Yukon river town. Coming north before the strike in the klondike, Mir Julian has lived al most continuously in the Circle district, and is one of it's oldest inhabitants. As he has never visited any settlement larger than Circle since his advent into the North, he has never had an opportunity oi seeing the late methods of transportation and enter ta;nment. Although he was quite enthusl- a.tjc over the auto it was not as marvellous to the old-timer as the moving pictures, as he had seen many pictures o1 the former. The "movies' were a great source Of pleas ure, however, and during his stay in Fair banks he is determined to take advantage of an opportunity which has been long time in coming.
 In letter to the Fairbanks lgloo of Pic neers regarding proper representation of Alaska at the Panama Pacific exposition, to be held in San Francisco in 1915, Dele gate Wickersham writes: An approprla- ton already has been made by congress for chs purpose, but it is included with work to be done for Porto Rico, the Philippines and Hawaii. 1 judge that every reasonable effort will be made by the governor, through this appropriation, to fairly repre- sent Alaska at the exposition. l Lave not heard ary complaint on behalf of the ex- position management at San Francisco that sufficient appropriation has not been made fer that purpose However, if 1 learn that more uoney is needed and l can be of any assistance in securing an appropriation, l shall certainly do so promptly"
