SAYS WE TOOK MOVIES
 OF ANCHORAGE ICE Cook Inlet Pioneer Discovers An other Deep Conspiracy With
 Seward as the PlOtter.

In a recent issue of the Cook In- let Pioneer appears a story on. the front page which says that in its de- sire to knock Anchorage Seward sent moving picture man and outfit to Anchorage to take moving pictures of the ice there The Cook Inlet Pioneer is not to be blamed for that. In Seward at present is a man who met one of the publishers of the Pioneer on the street at Anchorage some time ago. What do you think of that, says he to the newSpaperman, "that internal Seward bunch has man down there on the water front with a moving picture outfit taking pictures of the ice to send them outside And away rushes the scribe to pabJsh Sewar.2s vilHany to the world.

HOUSE TOOK FIRE WHEN |.
 FAMILY LAY SLEEPING

This morning about 2:30 o'clock the house of Mrs. Cohen, situated on Washington street between Third and Fourth, took fire while she and her two children lay asleep in bed, but she awoke in time, gave the alarm and the fire was extinguished without doing much injury. It is thought that the fire was started by a hot pipe which set fire to some clothes hanging close by. This is the opinion of Mir. Colwell from whom Mrs. Cohen rents the place. The ringing of the fire bell caused quite an excitement at that hour of the morning. Bob Guest was soon on the scene with hand ex tinguisher. Tom Towle, the Brown x Hawkins watchman, Nightwatch nan Cantwel and some others were also quick to appear and the flame was extinguished.

GOOD REPORTS COME
 IN FROM LEWIS RIVER

James Brennan and Thomas Set ter returned to Anchorage Friday with a considerable quantity of gold dust and a favorable report regard ing recent work and developments in the new placer camp on Lewis river, to the westward of Anchorage. They were among the first to go there, following the report in July that placer discoveries had been made. They staked several claims and spent the summer and fall in doing assess ment and development work, took out as high as 75 cents an hour each with a rocker on a bar, dug ditch 600 feet long, and were taking out good pay" when the recent cold snap froze up their leading house and compelled them to return here for their winters outfit. They will remain in Anchor age until the streams are frozen and the winter trail is in good condition for freighting.
 Mir. Brennan informed the Pioneer that they took out $2OO from four cuts during the last four days before their water supply froze up. They cashed in a portion of their cleanup at the A. c. Co.'s store at SuSitna Station, where the assay showed the gold to be of high grade and worth S1S.7O an ounce. Their largest piece weighed $500. The gold of all the bars they prospected is coarse, the greater portion weighing from 20 to 9 cents. Their best dirt was from three to five feet deep.
 F. c. Roe and A. A. Supernet are the only two men left in the camp this winter, they having arrived from An chorage September 2Sth with an out fit that will last them until the end of next summer.
 Messrs. Brennan and Setter discOv- cred during the summer old sluice boxes, camp and other evidences of former placer diggings, supposed to have belonged to a man known as Big Mike" who disappeared about five years ago, after bringing to Susitna Station SLIGO in coarse gold from a locality which he refused to make known-Cook Inlet Pioneer, Nov. 8.

 Man for Murder
Hundred Masked Men Drag White
 Man Out and Kill Him.

FOREST CITY, Ark, Dec. S.-A hundred masked men armed to the teeth dragged William Patrick, a white man, from his house here last night and lynched him for the alleged murder of a local merchant. Owing to circumstances connected with the killing of the merchant it was thought unlikely that Patrick would be brought to justice and this probably caused the mob to take his life.

cretl-TOwn Hall Renoyatcd-Per-
sOnals.

Mayesville, Nov. 29.-The Mayes.
Vile school resumed exercises this
morning after enjoying the Thanks
giving holidays, Friday being observed
as holiday also. This school has an
unusually large attendance this ses-
sion and excellent work is being ac-
complished under the direction of
Principal H. H Brunson and his eff
cient assistants.
From the present outlook, all OF
the cotton crop in this section will be
gathered within the next few weeks
or by Christmas. The gins are run.
ming only two days in the week now
and very little cotton is being ginned
except on Saturdays. The clear, dry
weather has enabled the farmers to
gather this crop with very little trou-
bic this fall and with the exceedingly
short crop, there is little of the staple
to be harvested. The good weather
has also given the planters a fine Cd.
portunity to gather the large hay crop
which has been produced hereabouts.
Good acreages in oats have been put
In and there are good stands wherever
this grain has come up.
The ladies Of the missionary society
Of the Presbyterian church held their
annual reception on Friday afternoon
at the manse. Quite a pleasant after
noon was spent and a neat sum was
collected for missionary work.
The town council has completed the
renovations and improvements ON the
town building and now Mayesville has
as neat and up-to-date q town hall as
to be found in any of the smaller
t. Sns. The front will be used for a
court room and for public meetings
the jail is in the rear Of the court

Separation of the carrying from the

state Auditor Howard to take the
matter up with Governor Williams,
relative to the duties Of the county
tax assessors which may require spe-
cial instructions to these officials. Mr..
Howard calls attention to the fact
that the Prairie OF Il Gas Co. last
year, prior TO the separation OF the
business. was assessed on a valuation
Of S35,329,S9I and that the returns
OF the company Just received for this
year, is $2,514.642. which is quite a
difference.
In separating the producing from
the carrying business no part of the
property Of the original company Is
assessed by the board Of equalization
except that used in the carrying part
The remainder Of the property is as
sessed by the county assessors, and
