JOHN BAIRD JOINS
 RUSH TO OIL FIELDS

Word has been received from John F.. Baird, the popular proprietor of the Bud weser bar of this city, who has been on the Outside for the past seven months, stating that he would not return to ldita- rod during the present summer, and was, at the time of writing, in Calgary, Alberta, the scene of the present oil-booming ex- citement From the tone of the message it may be presumed that MT. Baird has become interested in the oil game, and that his prospects look sufficiently promising to warrant his remaining in that vicinity. While his host of friends throughout In terior Alaska are greatly disappointed to learn that he will not return here at thls time, they express the sincere hope that John F. has the right "hunch" on the oil pronostion.
 Mrs. Baird, who has remained in this city during her husbands absence, will leave on one of the earliest boats for the Outside, and will meet MT. Baird in Se- attle. The cosy Baird residence, on Rich mond street, is offered for sale, and as such a remarkably low price has been placed on it, it is a rare bargain for any one desiring a splendid home.
