DEAD ON KOYUKUK TRAIL

In a wire received from Deputy Marshal c. L. Vawter of Tanana last night, Marshal L. T. Erwin is informed that the body of a man supposed to be Chris Bloc has been found on the portage between the koyukuk mail trail and Red mountain. No par ticulars concerning the death were contained in the message, and it is inferred that Bloc was frozen to death.
 Neither Commissioner Dehn nor any of the men from Panama at present in town know anything as to the identity of Bloc. It k probable that Commissioner Dehn, on his return 10 Tanana, will undertake the arrangements for an inquest. should it be determined that one be held.-F alrbanks News Miner, March l5.

EARLY BREAKUP PROMISED
 BY ElIlD SPRING WEATHER

All signs point to an early breakup, and it will not be surprising if the ice runs in the Iditarod river at ap earlier date this wear than ever before known. For the past several days warm southerly winds have prevailed. with some rain. The snow has practically disappeared from the lowlandS and but little remains on the hilsides in this vicinity The water has raised in the river almost to flood stage, and the anchor ice is beginning to loosen, Should tke mild weather continue it would appear that the break cup must soon take place, The record of temperatures for the past two weeks taken at the BudweiSer at a. m. each day, is as follows:

A REPUTATION ACHIEVED
 AND ANOTHER SHATTERED

A story comes from Flat City which illustrates the ease with which a reputation in certain lines is sometimes acquired, and plSo how easily such reputation may be lost.
 Bill Mitchell who is looking after the Clark Lumber Company's interests at the creek metropolis, has been having trouble with the combination of safe. Regularly for two weeks he religlously put in two hours each day in an attempt to open the repository of veluabes. and just as reg ularly he failed Finally he came to the conclusion that an expert was needed on the job. Charley Denton had achieved fame for the ease with which he had conquered a recalcitrant combination on an ldltarod safe, and his we'll known skill as a mechanic immediately suggested him as the proper man for the job Charley repaired to Flat and spent many laborious hours over the combination, but without success, and the safe was still unconquered. Then Charley issued the dictum that dynamite was the only thing which would effect an entrance to that safe.
 few days later Fred Harrison happened to drop into MitchelrS office and the sub ject of the safe was brought up. Fred sug gested that he might be able to open it and asked for the combination, which Mitchell had carefully written out. After studying the document few moments, Harrison made a few delft passes with the safe com bination and the door yielded.
 Mitchell, of course, was astounded, and asked for the secret. But having closed the safe again, not until Mitchell agreed to "set up" the cigars would the willy lawyer de liver it up and again open the safe.
 Fred Is given due credit for knowing a lot about safe combinations, but he is hay ing d hard time explaining to his friends how he acquired his skill in that direction.
