REVIEW OF NOME
 "WET"-"DRY" FIGHT.

NOME, May 6.-The belief that nothing would be gained in moral way and the need of the revenues that come from the licenses of the saloons were the controlling factors in the "Vet" and "dry" election held here Wednesday,
 It was urged by the buisness men that there would be saloons near Nome, with plenty of liquor in the city for those who sought it, and un- der conditions that would deprive the people of police protection even if the city voted "wet," and the city would be deprived of the revenues that come from that business.
 The campaign for prohibition has been worked hard in Nome for weeks Several mass meetings were held by the "drys." They were largely attend ed and a good deal of enthusiasm was worked up.

steamer Schwatka, the steamer Delta
of the American-Yukon Navigation

received here yesterday were to the
effect that the Delta had left Tanana
at $50 yesterday morning and she
is therefore expected here at an
early hour tomorrow. 1t is thought
that the remainder of the big ship
ment of mail from the Outside is
on the Delta, although that is not
positively stated.
The Delta is billed to sail tomor-
row for Dikeman, the exact hour
Of sailing not having been announced
yet She will make connection at
Nulato with the steamer Reliance
for all Koyokuk river points.
According to the steamer bulletin,
the steamer Yukon passed Eagle at
7:30 o'clock yesterday morning on
her way down river, and is expect
ed to make record trip on account
of the fact that she is not bringing
a barge. 1t is therefore expected
that she will arrive here Wednesday

John F. Dillon to
Seek Medical Aid

John F. Dillon. United States com
missioner at this place returned
from the Tolovana early last week
in very bad health, and soon after
his return he announced that he
would ask for a leave Of absence
beginning on July l, and seek medi-
cal treatment Outside.
Mr. Dillon had been on a trip to
the Tolovana to determine for Judge
Bunnell what are the conditions
there and the ACCESSIBILITY Of having
a commissioner appointed at the
new camp. He was making the
trip on horseback, but it seems
that the ride was too much for him,
as he had previously been suffering
with digestive troubles, and so he
was brought down the Tolovana
river in a boat and took the steam
er Alaska up the Tanana.
