Have New Fairbanks and CordoNd Schedule increases to three times
 week this week Be ginning Wednesday morning, the new schedule will be for the stage to leave here on Wednesday. Saturday and Monday mornings. The former schedule was for the stage 10 leave on Sundays and Wednesdays. Thus the stage left on it's regular Sun day schedule for the last time yes ttTday morning for this season.
 Hereafter the mails will leave Cor dova for Fairbanks on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays. They will leave Chitina on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays.

 Students Misunderstanding seems Oppose to be brewing between Board the school board and the students of the high school over the right of the latter to maintain gymnasium in the school building without giving the other grades right to it's use. 1 It seems that the school board authorized the teaching of gymnas- tics to the various grades, and that when this order was to be carried out it was found that the equip ment of the gymnasium belonged to the high school students
 It is understood that the high school students are not willing to divide up their gymnasium with the smaller children, and that if neces- sary they will sell the equipment and give up athletic work.
 On the other hand, the school board is reported to be planning to ask the city council if money may be used to purchase from the stu dents the equipment, which would tltu Dt uStu Ds all tllhe
 The trouble is due, it seems, to lack of understanding between the students and the school board, and they all may get together soon and come to settlement.
 Tolovana All sorts of reports Strike are reaching Fairbanks Is Good these days regarding the strike on the upper Tolovana but from it all there seems to be an assurance that the outlook there is quite promising, though it will not be an Eldorado.
 George Wheeler, who returned a few days ago to Olnes from Liven- good creek, the scene of the dis covery, is quoted in one of the daily papers of Fairbanks as saying that he had located pay that will run from s3 to S4 square foot of bed rock, but MT. Wheeler has since been quoted as saying that he did not paint the picture so bright. However, he says the strike is good, and will prove profitable.
 It seems that lack of snow is doing much to hold the work of the
 
 comes in enough quantity to make sleighing good, supplies will be ship ped to the scene of the strike and winter operations will be carried on actively.
 It is expected that the strike on Livengood and neighboring creeks will stimulate prospecting on other dis tricts not far distant.
 Wickersham Anybody who says that Is Ladies' Delegate Wickersham is Man not ladies man doesn't
 know what he is talking about In the first place, it will be remembered that it was due to the ladies that the entertainment week ago Saturday was promoted, when Judge Wickersham was the chief guest of honor. In the second place, the delegate entertained last Monday night a number of the ladies who took part on the reception in his honor.
 So there you have it. The popu- larity of the congressional delegate has been proved beyond any further question, and who can say that it was not due to the votes of the ladies that Mir Wickersham was reelected by such a big majority.
 The ladies entertained by Delegate Wickersham the night before he de- parted for the coast were Mrs. J. A. Healey, Dr. Aline Bradley, Mrs. w. F. Thompson, Mrs. Harry Cloes, Mrs Frank Clark, Mrs. Robert Lavery and Mrs. Ed. Wickecsham.
 The delegate had special dinner for his guests, and it was served at the Wckersham residence.
 Fake Attention has been call Fur ed to the deceptive l Sale methods used by some questionable firms on the Outside to dispose of their stocks of furs before the prices dropped as result of the war. No sooner had the war started than it became ap- parent to all dealers in furs that prices would drop. Those merchants who were overstocked planned on how they could best unload their stock without too much loss. | It was within a few days after the war started that dealer in Los Angeles put an advertisement In the newspapers of that city, in which he urged all people to take advantage of his special sale on furs. as, so he asserted, the price would
