BOB GRIFFIS AND JIM HALEY
 ENCOUNTER TOUCH TRAIL
Ruby Record Citizen, Dec. l9)

Bob Grifis and Jim Haley arrived at Ruby from Iditarod last Wednesday even ing en route to Tanana with about $50 pounds of gold for the Wells Fargo Express Company. They departed Thursday morn ing. At Tanana the consignment will be turned over to the company and the mes sengers will proceed to the Outside.
 They left Iditarod November 30, and trav eled over the old mail trail via kaltag. These old mushers have some pretty tough experiences to their credit, but they declared this was the hardest trip they had ever un- dertaken From Iditarod to Dikeman they sledded over bare ground, and from there on the snow was soft and sticky and would not support the load, They had twenty two dogs and two sleds.
 Mir Haley expects to return from the Outside over the winter trail, but MT. Grifis probably will wait for the opening of navigation.

REGARDING PASSPORTS

Commissioner Albrecht, as deputy clerk of the district court, has received copy of a circular from the department of justice at Washington, D.

FLAT CITY A. B. CAMP
 TO HOLD MEETING

As will be seen by reference to a notice published elsewhere in this issue, the mem bers of Camp Flat, Arctic Brotherhood, will hold meeting next Friday evening for the purpose of deciding the question of surren- dering the charter of that organization or otherwise.
 Ever since the destruction of the A. $. hall at Flat City last spring there has been a disposition on the part of the members of the organization to allow the charter to lapse, and this feeling has been encouraged to some extent by the fact of the organ ization of the Moose lodge at that place, which has assumed the place formerly oc- cupied in the community by the Brother hood, in the way of taking the initiative ill social gatherings such as balls, smokers, etc. It has been felt for some time that there was not sufficient encouragement for the existence of two lodges there. However, most of the members, while reluctant to part with their charter, are determined not to lose their membership in the Arctic Brotherhood, and it is for the purpose of strengthening out the affairs oi the organization and permitting the issu ance of withdrawal cards that the meeting has ostensibly been called, although, if in terest enough is displayed, 1t IS not unlikely that the camp may be reorganlzed and the charter retained.
 Camp Iditarod No. 27 has issued an in vitation to the members of Camp Flat, IT the event of the surrender of their charter to affiliate with the camp here.

TIMOTHY JOSEPH LYNCH
 SUDDENLY CLAIMED BY DEATH

One of the districts most popular men passed on to the Great Beyond early last Sunday morning, January 17, when Tim othy Joseph Lynch was suddenly called. Zoe" as he was known by hundreds of friends throughout Alaska, had been in at tendance at the Moose entertainment (of which order he was a member at Flat City on last Saturday night, and was, no ticeably so, one of the happiest and busiest in the big crowd It was about 2 80 o'clock in the morning, just as he was about to re- tire, that he was stricken, and without a murmur of pain, he died almost instantly while talking with friends.
 That Mr. Lynch was one of the best l known and bestliked men in the camp was evidenced last Wednesday, when scores ot friends and neighbors from all parts of | the district faced one of the worst snow storms of the winter and travelled many ! miles afoot and by dog team to pay their last respects.
 The funeral services were conducted by | Iditarod Lodge No. 1429, Loyal Order of Moose, and the burial ritual of the organ zation was beautifully and impressively ex emplifed in the hall and at the grave. The l ceremony LOOK pldce at A. D. had at o'clock, and the big building was crowded with members of the Moose lodge, Arctic Brotherhood and people from the creek towns and this city.
 The casket was almost covered with beau tiful floral offerings, which plainly showed the result of many hours of patient laboI by the ladies of the community. A large pillow with the initials "L. o. O. M, P. A P.," fashioned in blooms, was sent by ladies of Flat creek, and many beautiful wreaths, crosses, crescents and broken cir ces Ia lodge emblem) were heaped about the supports all thoughtful token by tht noble women all over the district.
 Several hymns were rendered by choll composed of Mesdames Ray D. Clarke, M Maher and P c. Charles, and Messrs. C. E Taylor, Earl B. Hunt and P. c. Charles Mrs Maher accompanied on the piano.
