First Pumpkins Are
 Brought Into Camp

In a row on one of the display tables at the N. c. grocery there are nine round, yellow objects, which are said to be pumpkins, although they resemble but little the big vel !owish-white things which alway adorn the corn fields of Illinois and Iowa in the fall of the year. These pumpkins are the first ever brought into the country, as far as is known, having arrived on one of the last stages from the Outside. It was originally intended that they be here in time for Thanksgiving, as pumpkin pie is one of the re. quisites of good Thanksgiving din, her. but they failed to arrive in time to be chopped up and made into that pastry without which the day and season seem to lack some thing.
 As far as is known no pumpkins have ever been raised in the vicinity e Fairbanks. The climate here is said to be too cold for them to ma ture, and to attempt to raise them in a hot house would be out of the question, for if allowed to grow to full size, they take up too much room.
 The N. c. company is selling those which they have in stock at 25 cents per pound. The price barely covers the original cost with the cost of transportation added for the company never intended to make money out of the pumpkins brought here. bringing them north more as a novelty than anything else.

New Night Letter
 Rate In Effect

Announcement has been made from the local office of the United States Signal Corp to the effect that night letters of 50 words may now be sent over the Alaska Military Tele- JrIph and Cable system al the same late as messages of 10 words mt during regular business hours. The rate became effective December l. the instructions having been re- ceived here from the chief signal officer at Seattle few days prior to that time
 All night letters will be transmit
 .fis: the regular day business has been disposed of and will b. delivered next morning. This means that messages of 50 words may be sent to Seattle at night for the regular ten-word day rate of s33O. The rate from Seattle to points on the eastern coast of the United States is sl and therefore a mes sage of 50 words can be sent east from Fairbanks for s4.3O.
 The new rate means great say ing to the government. Heretofore. while night letters were accepted at the signal corps office here. they had to be transmitted via Egbert Dawson and the Canadian line. the government getting only small percentage of the price of the mes sage, $6.75, for sending the same over the wireless from Fairbanks to Egbert, No figures are obtainable as to the amounet of money which will be saved by the government by the new regulation, but it is believed that the saving will be more than $500 monthly on business going out of the local telegraph office alone.
