BUTCHER RRCS. ACQUIRE
 OWNERSHIP OF TRAMWAY

A deal has just been consummated by the terms of which the tramway connecting Idtarod with Flat City becomes the prop erty of Mutchler Bros J. NJ. Wilson, repre- senting the owners, has been in the city for some time endeavorng to dispose of the property, and he left on the White Seal shortly after the deal was made
 It is understood that improvements will be undertaken by the new owners looking to a more speedy and commodious means of transportation over the line, and while the plans have not yet been agreed upon, it is believed they will take the shape of a substitution of steel rails for the present wooden ones and the substitution of some pattern of automobile for the present horse power
 The tramway has been operated under lease by the Mutchler Bros for the past two years, and while the present means of loco motion has always proven unsatisfactory, they have not felt justified in making ex- pensive improvements Now that they are in control of the property, however, the change will probably be undertaken.
 The consideration is not made public, but it is understood to be somewhat below the cost of constructing the road.

 PIONEER IgLOO

The preliminary and necessary steps for the organization of an Igloo of the Pioneers of Alaska in this camp have been des- patched to Frank ?. Aldrich at Nome, the grand president of the organization
 The popular organization has strong igloos in nearly all the towns of Interior Alaska, and its establishment in this camp has been too long deferred One can safely estimate that this vicinity can furnish a larger number of eligibles than any camp in Alaska in proportion to its population In the application for authority to organize and institute the lditarod igoo a strong recommendation was made for the appoint ment of U G. Norton, member of Ruby lgloo Mo- ,, as deputy grand president.
 Many old-timers in thls vicinity have al ready expressed a very cheerful willingness to become identified with the popular Alas kan order
 The Pioneer earnestly hopes that the de sired dlspensaton for the organization Of an igloo of the popular order will be speedily granted, and that the camp will in very short time thereafter have one of the best and strongest lodges in the sister hOOd

Cattle Sent Back to Kodiak Island

Professor C. c. Georgeson, head of the four Alaska experiment stations maintained by the United States government ln Alaska, has made arrangements for the shipping of the herd of Galloway cattle which has been pastured on the Phillips farm, near Che halls, Wash The cattle were shipped by rail to Seattle, where they will be loaded onto a steamer and taken back to Kodiak island There are about fifty head oi the best cattle in the lot that will be taken north. Some time since sale was held and a number of cattle sold to breeders, who will use them for beef stock. Professor Georgescn and his assistants found it neces
 sarv to take these cattle to the Outside about two years ago, owing to the volcanic eruption of Mount katmai, which covered the whole country for miles with lava and ruined the pasturage and forage At that time the ground was covered with vol canic ash to a depth of eighteen inches Mir. Georgeson reports that by hard work and intensive seeding they have managed to grow pretty good crop of hardy grass on the ash. On the hillsiGes the winds and rains have cleared away more or less of the ash and grass is again beginning to do we'll where fer a time it appeared that there would never again grow anything ot value

London, Aug. 3.-In announcing the mo- bilization of the British army and navy, Minister of Foreign Affairs Grey said this afternoon, addressing the house of com mons:
 England must consider the present crisis from the viewpoint of Great Britaln's honor and obligation, as well as interest. We can, not permit the French to be subdued and Belgium and Holland ravlshed. If the German fleet bombards the French coast we cannot stand by and look on. We have been given to understand that Germany will not attack France on the northern coast Ii we remain neutral. The question over shacloowing everything is Belglums neutral, ity and integrity Up to yesterday England had promised no country more than its dlp- lomatic support, but there is nothing now to restrict us in our promises

New Postmaster Takes CharQe

When the doors of the postotfice at Fair banks opened on the morning of August 3 1t was under the direction of T. H. Deal the recently-appointed postmaster, One of the first moves taken by the new official was to remove four of the clerks for cause and put in their places four of his own choice There was no trouble of any kind during the change except some warm words between one of the old clerks and one of the new force. Postmaster Deal had asked for the resignations of the four clerks whom he did not care to re-employ, and as they refused, he handed them notices to the eff feet that they were discharged. Those whose services were dispensed with may ask the postal authorities to reigstate them on the ground that they come under the civil service regulations. The new post master does not consider that they are civil service employees, however, and contends that he has the right to discharge them if he sees fit The force in the postoffice un- der the new regime is as follows: A. F, Herpick assistant postmaster; L. F. Protz- man, registry clerk; Mrs. Belling, stamps and registration; Mrs. H. M. Nelson, de liVerV

 ON HZL.BIAI,}YI HE A ' RIVER

On the arrival of the steamer White Seal last Monday from Fairbanks consider able interest was aroused by the passing account of a reported stampede to the Hea!y river. Word had already been re ceived here by telegraph of the reported strike, ard everything seemed to be fram- ing up for a full -tIedged stampede The re ports were based upon the following letter, which was published in all the papers of the Tanana river camp:
 FIcaIy Post. July G, t9ti. John Morgan, Fairbanks. Alaska:
 We have drrted toward the left limit and have uncovered about thirty feet of what call good pay. Best prospects were in the face when we quit. How much not the tim" at present to @o ahead. l also put one thaW upstream about ten feet back from the face, which pans good. Famed one bucket that runs from l5 to 25 cents | pan.

HAMMER.
 The Fairbanks papers stated that as soon as the news was circulated a small stam- pede was started from that place to the scene of the reported strike, which is l42 miles from Fairbanks, and steamboats can get within eight miles of 1t at any time.
 The Pioneer, on Monday last, in order to satisfy its curiosity as to the genuine ness of the strike, sent the following inquiry to the Fairbanks News Miner:
 "IIas reported news of rich strike in Healey river region been confirmed? Any movement in that dirction?"
 Our reply from the News Miner on the following morning was of true Thompsonlan diction. It read
 Was Healey movement Healeyward, but movement has been constipated since the first stampeders to arrive there had re turned to the McCarty telegraph station and reported the results of their observa- tions to the News Miner by telegraph. They say that they banned in the drifts and on the dump of every prospecting outfit in that vicinity, and that the results of their labor did not even justify them in taking the trouble to stake claims"
