FOURTH OF JULY PLANS
 NOT YET ANNOUNCED

Although the Fourth of July is but four weeks distant, no plans have as yet been outlined for the celebration of the great national holiday in Iditarod Although it was announced months ago that Iditarod would celebrate, it seems to be taken for granted that the plans will somehow materi- alze without effort on anybody's part, or else everybody IS waiting for someone else to take the initiative
 It has been suggested that public meet ing be called at as early date as possible to appoint committees and arrange plans and this will probably be done during the coming week.
 One of the features of the celebration will no doubt be baseball game, and all ready Jimmy Farrell, Joe flanagan, Law renee Fee George Fahe and others are prac. ticing in anticipation of issuing challenge to the ball tossers of Flat for a game on the Fourth.
 There is no reason why there should not be g great celebration here but the time is short and the business men should get busy.

HUNTING PARTY COMES TO GRIEF

The hunting party composed of Jim Fin negan, G. K Lloyd, Carter Koon and Billy Taylor which left here on the Jolly Roger some ten days ago, met with disaster at a point several miles below Dikeman, and the party returned by easy stages, Finnegan, Lloyd and Taylor reaching here this morn ing. While making repairs to the engine, some gasoline in the bottom of the boat ignited, setting fire to the boat and entirely demolishing it. It is said the engine was recovered. A few trophies of the hunt two immense bearskins and other trifes- were lost in the fire. This is the second disaster that has befallen hunting parties headed by Finnegan, on a former occasion boat containing supplies and equipment being lost in Otter creek, necessitating the return of the party to Flat.

KOYUKUK GOLD DUST
 GOES TO NORAH MOORE

The famous koyukuk gold case came to an end recently at Fairbanks, when Judge Fuller instructed Commissioner Dillon to turn the property over to the clerk of the the clerk to deliver it to the defendant Norah Moore, or her attorneys, McGowan & Clark As the commissioner was over anxious to rid himself of the troublesome gold he compiled immediately with the in structcns of the court, and the dust was delivered to the attorneys.
 The cases in which the dust was involved were: The United States vs Norah Moore, a criminal proceedings which was dismissed last December; Ben Dahl vs Norah Moore in which the plaintiff attempted to secure title to the gold dust and the case of John Dillon vs Norah Moore, Ben Dahl and McGowan X Clark, in which the con- missioner sought to have the court decide who was the rightful owner of the dust
 The matter came before the court on a motion to turn over the gold dust in the case of the United States vs Norah Moore After argument by the attorneys, Judge Fuller said that the gold dust had been seized and taken from Norah Moore on a search warrant at the time the woman was arrested on the charge of larceny Later the grand jury declared that there was insufficient evidence to return an in dictment against the defendant, and she was freed Under these circumstances, the court stated, he did not see how he could do anything but return the dust to the ex onerated defendant.
 Attorney Cecil H. Clegg stated to Judge Fuller that he would consider such an end ing of the case "a piece of legalized rob bery" For this remark he was taken to task and reprimanded by the court, who expressed his opinion of the litigants and parties to the suit in no uncertain terms.
 The case of the United States has been in the courts for more than year, and during that time the gold dust has been in the possession of Commissioner Dillon The commissioner announced that he had been trying to get rid of the dust for al most a year, and would be glad to have the court decide to whom it should be given

MRS. N. |. LOWELL
 DIES ON THE TRAIL

Late arrivals in the camp bring the news of the reported death of Mrs. L. N Lowell, which occurred during the latter part of March, while she and her husband were on the trail between McCarty and the Chi sana diggings. It is reported that death came very suddenly-but short time after she had suffered stroke of paralysis.
 Mir and Mrs Lowell, with their little daughter Eileen, left Iditarod last fall for New York state after residing more than three years in this city, where they were quite successful in business way At the time of their departure it was believed that the North had seen the last of them, but it appears that the story of the richness of the new Chisana strike proved too much of a temptation to resist.
