troubles.

LEAP YEAR DANCE AT FLAT
 WILL BE UNIQUE AFFAIR

A unique entertainment is planned to be given by the ladies of Flat City on St. Patrick's day, Friday March l7. The plans are not fully matured. but enough has been learned to warrant the prophecy that it will be the event of the season The de tails will be furnished next week.
 The affair is to be in the nature of a leap-year ball, and it Is stated that the ladies will exercise their special quadrennal privileges to the fullest extent. Not only will the bal be given by the ladies, and all the arrangements made by them, but they are to pay the expenses thereof. The ladies will escort the gentlemen to the en- tertainment, and instead of gallivantng around the hall in search of partners, the members of the sterner sex vii decorate the benches until they are asked to dance by some of the fair ones.
 The ladies of Flat, who are known as royal entertainers, expect every resident of the district to be present on this occasion, and the probability is that they will not be disappointed.

SOURDOUGH TAKES KINDLY
 TO COMFORT ON THE TRAIL

On his trip to Horsefy creek this week Frank Morgan, driving his fast team of dogs, had as a passenger Mike McDermott, the we'll known old-timer Now although, as Frank says, Mike has prospected for forty years, more or less, he never had ridden in a sled Often be had mushed dogs and frequently he had been compelled to meek it." But this was the first time he had ever traversed the trail in genuine chee- chako style Wrapped up in a mass of furs, securely tucked in so that the wind could find no exposed portion of his anat- omy Mike started on the trip to Horsef1y, with Frank at the handle bars. At first he showed nervousness and uneasiness, but sEadually as the miles sped by he began to eNoy the experience, and by the time he reached Bill Schermeiers Halfway road house he had made up his mind that he had found the ideal method of travel He fully entered into the spirit of the thing; So much so that when leaving the roadhouse he was loudly demanding that hot water bottles be placed in the sled, saying that he might as we'll go "the entire route"
 It is more than likely that when discovery claim on Horsefy begins to make the ex- pected returns Mike will enjoy his new found recreation to the limit.

NATIVE FAMILY DROWNED

The death by drowning of a native fam fly consisting of three persons man, g woman and baby in the chill waters of a slough bordering the kuzltrein river, about the first of the year, IS the story brought to Nome by Hans Larsen, the Nome Kougarok freighter, which appears in the Nome Nugget John Otok was the name of the unfortunat man, and the woman end baby were his wife and child Ac cordng to the story told to Larson, Ot&k left Mary's Igloo with dog team some time around the first of the year, with the intention of going down the river The trip apparently proceeded without mishap until they attempted to cross a slough to avoid travelling around bend in the river, and here they came to grief. The high winds prevailing about that period had backed up the waters in the sloughs to depth of several feet, forming wide lakes which were covered with thin coating of ice which to ali appearances was perfectly safe for passage. From all indications the natives did not realize the treacherous na- ture of the ice, and attempted to cross, with the result that all three broke through end were drowned, together with their dogs, m the Icy waters. some two or three udyS afterward native named kulck, journey ing in the locality, found evidences of the fatality, and search revealed the bodies of the trio beneath the overlying coat of ice which had formed over the spot where they plunged to death. The bodies were close together in about five feet of water, that of the infant beinr still ensconced be meath the hood of its mothers parka. As the depth of water was slight, it IS pre- sumed that the natives after falling through were unable to extricate themselves, owing to the fral nature of the ice, and after becoming chilled and exhausted, at length succumbcd and sank beneath the water. Otok was a cripple, and Larsen was told that he would probably have been almost helpless under such circumstances He is said to have had fair education in the native school at Igloo, and was known as something of an artist having drawn many clever and interesting pictures illustrative of the customs and habits of his tribe be- fore the coming of the whites.

MOOSE SMOKER AT FLAT
 WAS EVENT OF SEASON

The Moose smoker at Flat last Sunday night will go down in the annals of the local lodge as the most successful doln's of the season. Chairman A. J. Weiss of the entertainment committee presided Tn the dctator's chair, and called upon the talent to come through. Stories rich, rare and juicy came forth in abundance.
 Jay Johnson made a great hit with hls clever Swedish and French dialect stories His story of the Swede at the ball game and his recitation of Napoleon Dore" acquired for him the title of the nonparell among story tellers.
 forecast of one of the stunts was men toned in last weeks Pioneer J. w. Far rell was to spring the latest in submarine activity A tub had been prepared by the committee for the actual demonstration and Mir. Farrell discoursed on the invention that protects man when in the midst of danger as being the greatest boon in our age, and to the non-combatant he highly recommended it. His demonstration of complete submersicn brought forth the query How does he do it ?'
 great number of song birds huttered forth Jack Smith sang "A Wee Dock and Doris" F. Allen sang Rolling Home Dan Olson sang "A Claw hi Yak" and Oscar Anderson sang "The Klondike Vale"
 An elegant lunch was served by Messrs. Ensor and Dehaus.

COUNCIL MEETING
Busy and Interesting Session at Which Much Business Was
 Disposed Of

The city council met last Tuesday night for of business which had accumulated since the last meeting, and also to relieve the mayors chest, which appears to have been in a somewhat clogged condition. Before adjournment both objects of the meeting were achieved; all business before the coun- eli was disposed of, and the mayors chest was relieved without serious damage to the city hall.
 The school board was allotted funds to meet all expenses to be incurred up to the time of the inst talation of the next council. The fire chief, J. C. Currin, applied for a few days leave of absence, which was granted and Fred SCu was appointed to perform the duties of the office during MT Currin's absence. It was upon this latter subject that bis honor poured out his soul in words of burning eloquence, but the council turned deaf ear to his plea.
 The chairman was directed to make all arrangements and appoint the necessary of. fcers for the annual election to be held in Iditarod on April i.
 The council gave due heed to the wise preceptS and exhortations of the grave and revered territorial legislature and board of health, and appointed municipal health board. Therefore, all germs of sctinomyeo- sis anterior poliomyeHtis, echinococcus dis ease, epidemic ceretso-spinal meningitis favus, trachoma, trichinosis, opthalmia neontarum and chicken pox are hereby no- tifed and given fair warning to keep away from this municipality, or they will meet with cruel and unusual punshments at the hands of Dr. H. E. Auringer, J, c. Currin an, E. NJ Stanton.
