ONLY WIRELESS USED

Wireless has now practically usurped the place of the land lines between St. Michael and Gibbon and messages are now radlo- graphed from Gibbon to Nulato and from Nuiato to Nome. The heavy storms have broken down miles upon miles of the wires and posts in the land lines, and it is not
 likely hat any repairs will be attempted before spring. The wireless gets the mes sages through just the same, with, how ever, delay for a couple of hours as a general rule Thus, messages which should be ordinarily received about 9 come in at II. and at l, arrive about 8. This accounts in some measure for the tardy issuance of

MCCARTHY PEOPLE DIVIDED
 OVER DELICATE SUBJECT

The new school promised the town of Mccarthy by Delegate Wickersham on hlS last visit has brought up another problem more puzzling to solve. It is the question of a teacher One faction wants teacher young and pretty, while the other faction wants an equally efficient but homely teacher.
 Old-timers, pointing to the example oi other camps, declare that young and pretty teacher will not be able to stand out the first month but will succumb to the many offers of marriage which it IS confidently declared will come from the susceptible sourdoughs and lonely miners of the creeks.
 The parents of the children to be edu- cated want a plain, if not positively homely, teacher-one who will stay on the Job while the ardent would-be swains are just as warmly espousing the cause of beauty
