est good humOT, MT. Gardner mace an ap- peal for unity of action on the part of the Democratic party and predicted success, even to the extent of securing railroad for this section.
 Somewhat Ambiguous
 In the course of his remarks MT, Gardner made no attempt to outline any political program. The idea he seemed to wish to convey was that as the Democratic party had shown disposition to Md in the de velopment of Alaska, hte people were in duty to support that party. It would show ingratitude, he maintained, to do otherwlse. He did not point how this was to be done. The campaign for territorial delegate was never directly mentioned, although Mir. Gardner's appeal to the people to support some man who stands with President Will son if you want to get all you can for Alaska" might be taken as an appeal for support of Delegate Wickersham, although the speaker probably did not intend his re marks to be construed in that manner.
 It had been announced that "other prominent speakers would address the meeting. and when adjournment was taken at the close of Mr Gardner's address there was some disappointment shown, as It had been intimated that Territorial Senator Henry Roden would take advantage of the opportunity to answer the many criticisms of his course in connection with his legls- lative duties and particularly in regard to the famous letter which signed by all of the territorial senators except one, and which was used in the attempt to defeat the rall- road bill in congress last winter.
 Prior to the meeting there seemed to be a reluctance on the part of many of the residents of Flat City to attend the meeting, and they seemed content to stand on the outside of the hall and discuss the objects of the gathering Not until they were as sured that it was not intended to attack Mir. Wickersham did they enter the hall in any great numbers. The speaker of the evening carefully avoided any personal al lusions in his argument for partisan politics in Alaska, and while none -committal as to any party plans, won the confidence of his audience and kept it in good humor
 At the conclusion of Mir Gardners re marks a vote of thanks was rendered to the speaker and the meeting was adjourned

LOUIS HAD HARD TIME
 ESTABLISHING HIS IDENTITY

Nj F McMillan, engineer of the gas boat Thomas Flyer, tells a good one on Louis Peime owner of that vessel. MT. Pelme went Outside during the winter, expecting to return before the breakup to his vessel, which was wintering at Dskaket. His plans miscarried, however, and he was compelled to wait until after navigation opened. On the opening of the river MT. McMllan was obliged to bring the Flyer to 1ditarod for repairs, and after completing his business here was on his way down the river with some passengers expecting to meet Mir Peime at some point down the river.
 One day a man was seen wildly gestlcu- lating on the bank, and landing was made and he was taken on board. Getting under way again, the stranger entered into con- versation with Mr McMillan, remarking on the fact that that gentleman seemed to be suffering from lack of sleep. He was told that river man was used to that and the stranger volunteered to relieve hlm at the engine while he took much needed rest Not wishing to intrust his engines to stranger, and in fact, deeming that individual acted rather queerly, Mir. McMiI- Ian declined the proffered assistance and continued with his work The stranger wan dered around the boat and eventually turned

object of his trip is told by the Seattle Post IntplHpencer AS follows:

object of his trip IS told by the Seattle fost lntelligencer as follows:
 "The story of a fight for a S1, 900 GOO gold claim between two miners and great corporation, in which armed guards, gun fights, long trails travelled by dog team, and alleged false arrests figure in a manner reminiscent of The Spoilers by Rex Beach has been brought to Seattle from the far North. The contenders in the legal and physical battle being waged for possession of the forty acre area of ground on Flat creek, in the Iditarod, said to contain one million dollars, are William Knox and Sam uel Adams, two well-known Alaska miners, on one side, and the Yukon Gold Company of New York, owners of the great Dawson dredges, which have eliminated the pick and shovel miner from the golden Mecca of 1898, and in which the Guggenhems are heavy shareholders.
 Adams arrived in Seattle on January 5 on the steamer Northwestern from Valdez, after a 6OG-mile trip from Iditarod City to Seward, making the journey to consult legal talent here and plan for the coming legal battle in the North He has retained Will jam A. Gilmore the former mayor of Nome who is spending the winter in this city, as his chief attorney.
 According to friends of MT. Adams the following Is brief skeleton of the story:
 "The Chicago Bench claim, on the right limit of Flat creek. is one of the richest unworked claims in Alaska, to judge from development already done Last fall Adams and Knox relocated this claim, alleging for feture in 1911 by Tom Aitken, the original owner, through his failure to do the annual assessment work In the meantime Altken and his associates had leased the ground to the Yukon Gold Company
 Tn October of last year Adams and all his men then at work on the rich claim were arrested at the behest of officers Of the corporation and haled into court at Iditarod on charge of trespass After trial in which feeling ran high and phys ical violence was imminent, Adams and hls associates were acquitted.
 "Jubllant over their legal victory, they returned to the claim on Flat creek to re sume work, only to find the property sur rounded by armed guards of the Yukon Gold Company There was pitched battle in which Adams and his men were routed Adams returned to Iditarod City and on December 31 last filed suit in the district court there to oust the Yukon Gold Com pany from possession of the claim
 'In November Adams started from 1dlta- rod City by dog team and travelled 600 miles ever the snow to Seward to catch q steamer for Seattle. Word was received in the city by his friends that suit has been filed for him and his associates by lawyers in Iditarod City for SlO0,000 damages for false arrest.
 "The legal battle for the possession of the mine will be contested in Iditarod City in July.
 Attorney Gilmore will return to Nome on the first steamer up and go at once from there to Iditarod to take personal charge of the case.
 At present the mine is in possession of the Yukon Gold Company, which main tains an armed patrol"

WELL-KNOWN RESORT
 CLOSES AT FAIRBANKS

The California, the largest saloon in the North and pioneer among Fairbanks sa- looms, IS no more The license of the Cali fornia has expired and Fred Martin goes out of business as a saloon man forever.
 Everybody who has ever visited Fair banks knows the California. More men have registered" there in the years gone by than at any other similar resort in the North The California played to the rough neck" trade, but caught all classes. The largest place in Fairbanks, it was none too large in the early days, and many time its capacity has been strained by the people who thronged it. Enough liquor has been sold there to float the largest steamship afoat, and thousands of hungry men have been fed at the famous annual Christmas dinners given by Fred Martin. The first place the workingman struck for when he hit town was the California and it was gen orally the last place he visited when he left town.
 Times have changed in Fairbanks, and people have changed with them. Some of us (most of us) refuse to believe that the change is permanent, and insist upon con tinuing along the same old lines and making them "come to us" but Fred Martin is not that kind-he recognizes the changed con dtions and welcomes them gladly. He is tired of the booze selling game and believes he can make living with more ease and greater satisfaction than in the saloon busl ness, so when the midnight choo choo leaves for Alabam tonight it takes with it the last inclination of the proprietor of the Cali fornIa to run a saloon.
 From tomorrow on, the California will be 8 billiard and pool hall, confectionery and cigar store, bowling alley and all of those harmless places of amusement to which even the ladies of the city can go with pleasure and profit
 Who is there to say that Fred Martin has not chosen the better part? Surely not us. Fairbanks News Miner

up in the pilot house, where Dave Edwards was at the wheel The stranger offered to relieve Dave at the wheel and as the latter was suffering from lack of sleep, and the stranger showing familiarity with his sur roundings, he allowed him to take charge. The stranger had told Edwards that his name was Louis Peime, but MT. Edwards did not recognize him, and on going below and comparing notes with MT. Mcllllan, it was taken as somewhat of joke. How ever, Louis finally succeeded in convincing the skeptics of his identity, and he was al lowed to assume command of his own ship.
 It appeared that MT. Peime had acquired a profusion of hirsute adornments since go- ing Outside, which greatly changed his per sonal appearance, and rendered his identif cation difficult

BELIEVES BEACH TO BE
 A DREDGING PROPOSITION
Nome Nugget, June 24)

The American Dredge Building and Con struction Company's dredge, which has been operating on the beach opposite the old graveyard started for York yesterday after noon, after having tested the beach for gold and their dredge as being adapted to work the beach sands beyond the water line or in the surf.
 Manager Bernard in an interview stated that the results of the past four days operations had been very satisfactory and had fully demonstrated that gold in consid- erable quantities existed on the beach below the water line But owing to the fact that his company has extensive and valuable ground at York on which to operate the dredge, and the conditions now being ideal for towing the dredge to that point, 1t was concluded to abandon the beach for the present.
 This company by the past four days op- eratng of its dredge claims that It has fully demonstrated that the most profitable method to work the beach IS by means Of a dredge, and the belief is expressed that others will now be attracted to use the same methods when pay of sufficient quan- titles has been located at other points on the beach. The successful operating of this dredge in the surf is mainly attributed by Mr Bernard to patented arrangement in the construction of the upper end of the ladder carrying the buckets, which enables it to work in a heavy surf.
 Mir. Bernard is very confident that with slight notifications of his dredge he would be able to dredge the beach below the water line at all times except during yio- lent storms. The elements of danger from storms, he claims, can be easily overcome, and if the pay is general along the beach as where he was working, he states that it would be good dredging proposition. Mir Bernard stated that they have a large double Hume screen dredge now on the way, which will be landed at York and installed on the Anacovik river, and is specially designed for recovering both gold and tin.

WITNESSES AND JURORS
 SHOULD PRESENT CLAIMS

Owing to the fact that at the conclusion of the Iditarod term of court Deputy Mar shal Percy Charles will accompany the court to Ruby for the term there, that official suggests that all persons having warrants for fees as jurors and witnesses should pre- sent the same for payment immediately. In case they are not presented prior to the departure of the court officials there IS likely to be considerable delay in their pay ment.
