 Feed Here. Those are the condi-
 tions which exist n Fairbanks at present, according to reports from all quarters In fact it is predicted that. because of the large number of horses now in this camp and the shortage of feed, con ditions will be serious within a mC;.th from now
 But very little horse feed is available now With the exception of the Northern Commercial com pany, the supply is completely ex- hauste dat the wholesale houses of the city, while the above mentioned concern has no more than enough for it's own needs. In spite of that fat, however, there has been no appreciable increase in the price of the commodity

 Fairbanks and vicinity than there have been since 1908 Due more to the Toloyana stampede than to any other reason many work ami, mals have been brought in from the Outside since the first of the year. And it is understood that more are coming One night last week every barn in the city housed it's full capacity in horse flesh.
 In the meantime feed conditions are getting worse. All native feed available has been contracted for by various teamsters, but no grain is to be had It is stated that native hay is now selling for s3O per ton in the stack, and that those who are buying it are glad to get it at that.

 Did While was one of the busiest In Town men in the world while
 he was in town last week That fact in itself is not queer. but it appears from recent accounts that his businesses dur in, the two days he was in town werc so many and various as to Lc the cause of much comment a...-s his friends.
 Beng good Elk, Pete's main business in town was to attend the I..as entertainment He came to town Tuesday evening for that pur- pose. He slept late Wednesday Aa,ynm-. not having anything to do il the forenoon In the afternoon at 2.3U o'clock he attended q funer- aI N i o'cIo k he went into court as witness in a divorce proceed ing At o'clock he attended wedding as best man and went to the wedding supper at 6.30.
 And he wound up hls two days ;rin to town by attending the pie t-Ge sLyw ir the eyDnin2 leaving fo. Olnes or Thursday morning. Are Now It is to be supposed that Celebrating Fairbanksans, generally Christmas. speaking, are the only
 people in the world who celebrate Christmas fully two months after it is being celebrated every where else Which does not mean, of course, that Fairbanks people do not celebrate at the exact time, fer they do More often. however. as tar as Outside associations are concerned. thc people of this com nunity celebrate Christmas day only as matter of form, for the reason that, with tBe exception. of Christmas cards, the usual little remembrances expected about Christ mas time from loved ones on the Culolut lct4l lO IIiditl ldIlLt NIltu llIt last stage before Christmas day ar riyes here.
 The fact above stated was never more fully eXemplificd than it was last week, when 6 large quantity Of parcels post matter was received a. the local postoflice The receiv- iaS e the mail was no queer mat ter but when it was opened, great many pt the packages receiv- ed were found to contain things ap- pI1priate to the celebration of q very belated Christmas More hearts than one were made glad, however, by the arrival of the parcels post mail, for many of the recipients of the packages discovered in them tokens of remembrance from those on the Outside by whom they thought they had been forgotten.
 It might also be stated here that the parcels post matter containing the Christmas packages was not eX- pegted at this time. It usually comes in time for Fairbanksans to celebrate Christmas and the Fourth Of July together
 Dispatches of the past week state that conditions in regard to the mail service will shortly be improved. It is therefore hoped that when the next Christmas rolls around Fair banksans will receive their Christ mas remembrances at the right time, instead of having to wait for the convenience of a not too careful postottice department in the matter of regulating the dispatch from Seattle of mails for interior Alaska.

 some kind of a name other than that under which they were christened follows them around When in Fairbanks, the person about whom this story is related was known as "Nabisco Bill" his fame having been related in both poetry and prose in one of the local dailies under that head, until the people got tired of reading about it.
 But at Tanana things are differ ent. Down there he has come by a name which, according to all re- ports will follow him for the re- mainder of his days. For Fur and Fish Warden William Porter Hem enway, by reason of the business known by the Indians of the lower river as "The Black Fox Father. But, according to the reports, the | Tananaites have shortened the ap, pelation and he is called ''The Black Fox Kid" by the townspeople
 Bill makes his headquarters at Tanana, where he is lord of all he surveys in a fur way. With a cou pie of other equally congenial and convivial spirits, he has formed ''The Owl Club" But, of course the name has nothing to do with the hours during which celebrations are held there.
