TRAPPER IAGIN
 REPORTED LOST

Joseph l. Wills of McGrath, on the Kus- kokwm river, reached Iditarod last Wednesday morning, and departed for home the same day He brought word that grave fear is felt in that section that Bob Lagin, an oldtimer we'll known in this part of Alaska, had lost his life It appears that Lagin, who had been trapping in the upper Kuskokwim region. near the mouth of Soda creek, left that place about October b, 1913, expecting to spend Christmas at Ia kotna, since which time he has not been heard of He was to have travelled by way of the north fork of Nixon creek, but 1t was ascertained that he never reached there, and it is believed that he struck the north fork of the Novlkaket, and was lost. It IS barely possible that he may have reached the Yukon, but it IS believed that if such were the case he would have been heard from. He is said to have S1,000 on deposit at Takotna, and as this has not been claimed it lends color to the belief that he lost his life
 Lagin was about 55 years of age, and will be remembered as having conducted a roadhouse near Moore creek about four years ago.

MANDLEY SUES
 YUKON GOLD GO.

On Saturday. June 20, Richard E. Mand- lev filed suit for S20000 damages and costs and disbursements against the Yukon Gold Company for injuries received on or about November 15, 1913.
 The complaint alleges that while in the employ of the defendant company on the above date, and in the discharge ot his usual duties on the dredge of the defendant, plaintiff was directed by the dredgemaster to adjust valve or pipe in connection with the heating system, and while so engaged was struck by and enveloped in powerful gust of hot smoke and poisonous fumes and gases which emanated from the smoke stake that plaintiff was overcome by sad fumes and gases and rendered unconscious and powerless, and fell from the roof to the floor of the dredge.
 He further alleges that in December, 1913. still suffering from the effects of said accident, and there being no doctor or phy sicisn at Flat City plaintiff was compelled to and did go to Fort Gibbon for medical assistance; that in consequence thereof plaintiff was compelled to and did pay the sum of S200 for transportation to Fort Glb- bon, and was compelled to pay s62 to the physician at that place.
 He complains that as a result of the accident he was unable to resume work with the defendant until about April 3, 1914 and that he worked until about May 26, 1914, when he was discharged; that since the time of the accident plaintiff has been compelled to abandon all labor except

ALASKA
Historic Documents Burned

Priceless volumes and manuscripts bear ing on the early history of Alaska, says the Juneau Empire of May 4, and many valu able oil paintings were destroyed with the burning of the historic government ware house in Sitka on April 25, according to Rev. Father George Sergius kostrometinoff who said recently in Juneau: These vol umes were gathered together by the Rev Father Anthony, who was commissioned to do the work by Governor John c. Brady For two years he searched over St. Peters burg, kief, Moscow and other places, col lecting rare books dealing with the early occupation of Alaska by the Russians, and gathered also many valuable manuscripts which had not yet been placed in print The entire collection was stored in the gov ernment warehouse and large portion of 1t was left there from the time that Gov H. B. Hoggatt moved the capital from Sitka to Juneau. There are no duplicates of the burned documents, and the loss is therefore irretrievable The oil paintings were rare works of art, some of which were on exhibition at the Alaska Yukon exposi- ton in Seattle in 1909 These, too, are a total loss"

Boom at Seward

The first breath of the boom has touched Seward. Every resident of that city feels confident that the town will be the ter minus of the government railroad. The last boat brought 1l3 passengers, says s dispatch of May 20. Many real estate trans fers have been made and with each ar rival of encouraging news prices go up. Many new business concerns are opening, Like many Alaska towns, Seward is afraid that she will be overrun with labor this summer and fall, for railroad construction will not begin until 1916, according to latest reports, There are plenty of men waiting there now to care for the increased building that is expected. Recently there have been started in Seward new grocery store, real estate and insurance office, and three saloons. There is not vacant building in Seward and old structures that have been vacant for ten years are being overhauled and renovated.

MOOSE DOlNGS

The Moose lodge held special meeting at Flat on Thursday June IS, to consider the advisability of purchasing the Hussey building for a hall This building, which cost in the neighborhood of S1l,000 to build was offered at a ridiculously low price, and 1t was decided to buy it and by making ex- tensive repairs and alterations, fit it up as headquarters for the lodge and as a social hall
 A crew of carpenters was immediately employed to fit the upper floor for a lodge room. and to put in dancing floor of Out side fir on the ground floor This last work will provide good hall for dances and public meetings, etc. Even then 1t is not as commodious as the A. B. hall recently destroyed by fire
 This is not only great convenience to the people of Flat, but IS rather startling evidence that this progressive and growing order is inclined to be optimistic about the future of the acmp.
 The committee appointed to arrange the matter of taking over the building and having the repairs and alterations done consists of Messrs Stanley, Flnnegan and Gage.
 It was decided to give a grand Fourth of July ball at the new hall, and commit tees to arrange for the same were ap- pointed as follows:
 Entertainment Committee -Messrs Guy G. Gerraghty, Henry o. Roden, Karl Theile, Grant Murdock, c, K. Lloyd and Leo Cliff ford
 Ticket Committee Clemons, James Krogh Oscar Gardner and Alfred Boas.
 The general opinion at the meeting seemed to be that the tickets for the ball would be in good demand on account of the double purpose for which it is given, the purchasers of tickets being not only as sured of a good time but also the satisfac- tion of having aided worthy cause and the hope was strongly expressed that it would not be necessary to use any of the money at present in the treasury of the lodge to pay for the hall or the repairs, as it is much desired that this money be kept intact for the benefit of the lodge members in the event of sickness or disability
 The next meeting of the lodge will be held at Iditarod tomorrow evening, at Ans ley's hall It was also decided to hold a special meeting of the lodge at Flat on Sunday, July 5, at 8 p. m., as there will be a large class to initiate at that time. After the business meeting there will be a social session devoted to music and other enter tainment
 There is good deal of local talent among the members, and it IS possible that few moving pictures will be shown.

The fact that the government has with drawn 3,940 acres of land at Cinema for railroad purposes for the proposed trunk line from tdewater to the Yukon river, via the Susitna valley, has proven a sur prise to the residents of Fairbanks, and pro tests are said to have been wired to the commission The residents of Cinema are jubilant because of the withdrawal of the lands surrounding their burg They have always believed that Fairbanks had no real excuse for being on the map and now they have hopes that the relative positions of the rival towns will be reversed
