Claude Jenks Is
 "ln The Money

A clipping from an Outside paper recently received in Fairbanks tells of the marriage on June 30 of Claude Jenks, formerly barber here. who left town somewhat hur- riedly several years ago. In fact he left between days. so to speak, his friends awakening to the fact that they were "stung" after he had gone.
 The article telling of the marriage states that the bride of Jenks was Miss Emily Houge, telephone girl of the Hotel Oakland, Oakland. Cali fornia. It also enlarges upon the fact that she recently inherited a large fortune from 6 former lover who committed suicide and left everything to her

Officials May Not
 Come to F airbanks

Letters received by Wallace Cath cart, secretary of the Fairbanks Commercial club, indicate that the invitations sent by the club to Sena- tor Jones of Washington, Senator Chamberlain of Oregon and Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the interior, to visit Fairbanks this year will not be accepted.
 Senator Jones' secretary wrote that the senator will probably be too busy touring the state looking after the needs of the people to spare time for the Alaskan trip, though if he should find time to come later. the club will be duly in formed.
 From Senator Chamberlain was received courteous reply, in which he expressed appreciation for the invitation, but declared that he is still unable to say if he will have time for the trip.
 Secretary Lane said he had plan ned to come to Alaska this summer, but that it seemed at the time his letter was written that he would be unable to make the trip. If he finds that he can spare the time, he declares he will be pleased to make the journey.

 The meal was served at the Ar cade restaurant, beginning at 1:9o o'clock The tables had been taste fully decorated for the occasion, and when Miss Helen, the guest of honor, entered, she was visibly sur prised, for the plans for the affair had been kept secret from her.
 Miss Helen received large num- Der of attractive gifts, all of which were presented to her at the meal. While the meal was being served each person present offered an i'm promptu toast in honor of the charm ing young actress

ELOQUENT FREE
 TALK TONIGHT

C. R. Rathvon. one of the eloquent lecturers of the Mother church will deliver free lecture on Christian Science at the Auditorium tonight The lecture will be under the aus pices of the local church. and every body is welcome to attend.
 There is only limited number of these lecturers in the field, and thus it was hardly expected that Fairbanks would be able to secure one of them. The expenses of the lecture will be borne by the local church, and there will not even be a collection made at the lecture.
 These lecturers are selected for their ability to make addresses. and they never fail to attract hundreds of people, regardless of religious be- lefs It is expected that MT. Rath- von will be greeted by one of the largest crowds ever assembled in the Auditorium.

Mail
 Boxes In Demand.

boxes to surply the demand But the increased number of boxes can not be secured until a new postof flee is built
 There is long list kept at the postoffice of people who want boxes, and when there key is returned to the postmaster he notifies the man or woman next in turn that a box is available.
 In many instances. two or three families have the same box, but that is great inconvenience, as the boxes, as general rule, are too small to meet the demands of more than one family.
 Among those who are unable 10 get postoffice boxes is Delegate Wickersham, who is still doing with out box, and probably will not be able to get one before he will have to return to Washington.
 This evident increase in postoffice business is quite in contrast with the way the government is inclined to look at the local postoffice bus mess, for recently it reduced the salary of the postmaster to $500

See Fire Men working on the 25O Miles Upgrade mine, at the Away. head of Flat creek, not
 far from Iditarod, are quite positive that they saw the fire that recently threatened the town of Seward, 250 miles away from them in an air line. Accord ing to an article appearing in a recent issue of the Iditarod Pio- neer, these men saw the fire in a mirage, and were marveling in re- gard to what it was until they found out later that at the time they saw it there was a big fire at Seward. Then they concluded that it was a mirage they beheld.
 Not only is it long distance in an air line from Seward to the mine where the men saw in mirage what they believe was the fire, but there are two ranges of mountains inter vening, and these seem to have been overcome by the peculiar reflective phenomenon.

Last week the red poll 1innets were seen for the first time this season picking seeds from dry weeds. \ flock of English starlings with yellow peaks, forming a sharp contrast to the blue black iridescent necks. 8 brown bird with white spots, was seen in a clump of cedars Wednesday morning. At first these starlings, which come from Eu rope, were only in New York city and vicinity and in Connecticut Now they seem to be more common, as was fear ed. They are not welcome visitors be- cause of their quarrelsoIne disposition and their habit of driving away the song birds
