conductive to longivity!
Reports of statistical experts

average life of the athlete who
trains vigorously for the more
strenuous forms of athletic activ-
tiles is a trifle below the average
for his age.
That is, figures on 100000 per-
sons at l years of age, shows that
their age at death will average
tween Al and AZ years. At the
same age the average for athletes
falls below this figure.

Dave Strandberg was placed on the gridlron for passing a Pioneer meeting without saluting."

He says that plans are about completed for the building of telephone line between Ophir and Tokotna, taking in Gaines, Yankee, Spruce Little and Ophir creeks It is esti- mated thta at least forty miles of wire will be required to cover the district prop erly The line will be operated in c0nnec- ton with the Alaska Wireless Companys contemplated station, which probably will be located at the Tokotna end Ultimately it is expected, the line will be extended to Candle and McGrath The completion of this project will place approximately 400 persons in close touch with each other and with the outside world.

INCEPEENT BLAZE SOUELCHED
 WITHOUT SERIOUS DAMAGE

Fire which broke out in the roof of the building on Front street occupied by Mrs. Robinson as a laundry caused considerable excitement on Thursday afternoon last By the prompt aid of volunteers who organized a bucket brigade the fire was squelched without serious damage being done.
 The roof of the structure is said to be of fimsy nature, as are many others ln the city, and constitutes source of danger when sparks are flying.
 Councilman Ansley of the fire committee calls attention to the fact that now is the time when househoders should be particu- la1ly careful in the matter of fire proven ton. After a long winters use, many stove pipes become unsafe, and should be re- newed safetes should be looked to, and roofs protected. He points cut that little precaution at this time may be the means of preventing a disastrous confagration.

No. dear reader, the above is not the ex presson of body of Progressive" Repub- licans, sailing under false colors and endeav- bring to foist the heresies of the Progressive party upon the stand-pat element. These are no believers in the initiative and refer endum, the recall of judges Pinchotsln, government by commission, and all the other 'isms' with which Theodore Roose- welt has been identified since his return from EIba.' For does not the interesting document printed above distinctly say that it is the product of Convention of Re pubcans," and also that the advocate of the strenuous life is the logical Republican candidate for President?
 To a dsinterested onlooker the caucus and primaries held last Saturday night in Ansleys hall appeared to be all that such gatherings should be-a gathering of the rank and file of the party for the purpose of placing in nomination and electlng candl dates for delegates to the territorial conVen- ton to be held in Seward on April 10. The participants were in earnest and proceeded to the business of the evening in a thor oughlv workmanlke manner. In order that no contest of the action of the gathering might arise later, it was definitely under stood in advance who were entitled to vote, and this having been done, nominations were called for and it was decided to keep the polls open for one hour in order to give all the faithful chance to vote.
 Delegates Elected
 At the expiration of the allotted time the votes were counted and it was found that the following named gentlemen had received a majority of gil votes cast and were de cIared duly elected delegates:
 MAJOR G. W. ALBRIGHT
 F. NJ. STANTOON
 FRED HARRISON
 CHARLES F. TAYLOR
 It will be observed that all of the dele gates are members of the legal profession.
 It was understood that the delegates were not to be pledged for any candidate, and there was no attempt at such proceeding. However, there Is a strongly-seated b2ilet that the votes of the Iditarod delegation probably will be cast in favor of James Wickersham for delegate, in case the name of that gentleman should come before the territorial convention, as now seems most likely.
 All for Teddy
 At the conclusion of the election, E. M. Stanton, who presided over the caucus, be- came enthused over the mention of the former Presidents name, and left the chair long enough to make motion that tele- gram be sent to Mir Roosevelt on the lines set forth above The motion was carried with a whoop, and after taking up collec- ton to pay expenses the meeting adjourned.
 Creek Delegates
 At Flat the Republican primaries were held on the same date as at Iditarod, and Thomas McMahon, the well-known mer- chant, was elected as the one delegate al lotted to that city.
 At Discovery, Otter, Harry Donnelley was the choice of the primaries
