THERE HAS BEEN A BOOM
 IN PIONEER SUBSCRIPTIONS

That the Interior of Alaska is attracting more and more attention with each sue ceeding year is evidenced by The lditarcd Pioneers subscription department. Never before in the history of the camp has this newspaper received such a number of new subscribers as has been the case during the past fortnight from persons who are to spend the winter on the Outside. Everyone vents to keep posted on the development of the Tolstoi and Marshall diggings in the next half year during their sojourn in "Cheechakodom" Consequently they have their favorite and most reliable weekly household companion forwarded to their ad- dress. There's sure going to be "doins' in this neck of the woods during the coming period of frosty weather. Now is the time to subscribe! Bring on your job work There's no telling what may happen: we may have homemade minstrel show dur ing that time.

GEORGE MARSH PREPARES
 FOR JOURNEY TO MARSHALL

George Marsh, chief enginere of the Bud weiser, has been as busy as a prize bird dog since his return from the Marshall diggings last Sunday. He is preparing fine assort ment of wet groceries to supply sun shine factory that he intends establishing at Fortuna Ledge ere the icy hand of Old Boreas puts the quietus on navigation this fall He expects to make his getaway early next week. "The Branch oasis of Flat City derived its name from being an offshoot of the Budweiser of this metropo lis, and as George has long been connected with the last named thirst emporium, and ''The Branch" is still doing business at the same old stand, it has been suggested that the new place be named "The Twig" A twig is certainly branch, or we don't know anything about irrigation or applied science.

DAWSON REMAINS WET"
 BY A NARROW MARGIN

DAWSON, Sept. 5.-The final returns from the prohibition contest, received to- day, show that one of the closest contests in the history of the territory was won by the ':wets" Figures announced upotficlalIy by various polling officers give the "wets" a majority of only three votes for the en- tire territory. The 'drys" have some hopes of slight alterations in their favor on the official count, to be made by the five re cording officers of the five electoral dis tricts. It is possible that the "drys" vii contest the election, in which event re count will be made by the judge of the highest territorial court.
 Notwithst andlng the closeness of the vote, the "drys' declare that they are greatly pleased with this first prohibition contest ever held in the North, and say that had the women been allowed to vote and the Yukon complement of soldiers at Vancouver been allowed ballot, the 'drys would have won. They state that the pre- ronderance of sentiment in the territory Is in favor of prohibition. They are hopeful that the Dominion government will put through a Dominion wide prohibition bill which last year received large support, and that such bill would make the Yukon ''drv"
 The "wet" strength in the election was largely in the French Canadian vote which carried Granville and North Dawson by a large majority. This the "drys' could not whittle down. The town of Dawson, which has twenty-one bars to 2,100 people, went "wet' by 6S majority, which the "drys' say was due chiefly to sympathy for those ln business. Every bar is required to have a hotel attached, and the contest was to abol- ish the licensed hotel, which is the only form of saloon in the territory. Creek road houses also were the centers of sympathy for the "wets," giving them considerable strength.
 Three out of five districts of the territory went "dry" The "dry" counties are the Southern Yukon or Whitehorse district; the Klondke district and the Bonanza district. The "wet" counties are North Dawson and South Dawson. The majority for the "wets" in North Dawson was AZ and in South Daw- son P. The 'dry" majority of the Bo- nanza district was 52, of the Whitehorse district, 3, and of the Klondike district g. The polls in the territory carried by the "wets" numbered 13, by the "drys," l9. Mining districts were notably "dry,"
 Mayo gave majority of 10 votes for the "drys"

KOYUKERS GOING OUTSIDE
 BRINGS UP "REMINISCENCES

When the Reliance steamed in here on Saturday she had on board goodiy num- Der of passengers bound for the Outside, says the Ruby RecordCitizen of September 16. There were Mr Sweeny, Mr. Wana maker, Mr and Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Dan Averil Miss Nellie Cashman and Phil Eifler Mr and Mrs. Frank Smith left the koyukuk for the Outside by way of St, Michael Frank Smith Is one of the most prominent business men of that section, and this Is his first trip out in seventeen years From some of these passing visitors 1t was gleaned that g S26 nugget was found un John river way. that two or three drills have been imported during the past sum mer. that the ground Is deep and wet ant that winter will find about 260 persons liv- ing in that country. Also most of the folks migrating from these expect to come back into the country over the trail about March
 The attention of Dr. Behla, the Flat den tist, who was in Iditarod this week on his way Outside, was called to the above item. The doctor is an old Koyukuker having spent some years ln that section, where he engaged in mining and in the practice of his profession The persons named are all known to him intimately. Frank Smith, mentioned in the news item, is an old friend of the doctors and is one of the best known men in the Koyukuk. According to Dr, Behla he Is somewhat of a character, and 1 he has 6 fund of reminiscence in connection with incidents in the koyukuk with which Smith is more or less mixed up. One Tn particular gives an insight into the charac- ter of the pioneer trader and saloon man which is said to be typical.
 Frank Smith was the proud owner of a valuable marten-skin cap, which he prized very highly It was stolen by native, and Smith accused the culprit of the act. The native lied, saying the cap was his own, but Smith, a somewhat excltable man, raised 8 great tumult about it, which re suited in his swearing out warrant charg-
 ing the native with the theft, The prls- oner demanded jury trial. By the time the case was set to be heard it had become the chief topic of conversation, and all the residents except Smith considered 1t a huge | joke. The more the matter was discussed the more whisky was consumed, and 1t was a jovial audience that listened to the trial of the case. When the jury without leav- ing their seats, brought in verdict of not guilty, the crowd was hilarious, and Smith, although highly resentfui, was game, and invited the whole town to drink at his ex- pense. The invitation was repeated again and again, and the fun ran high.
 Finally the native who had been the cause of the incident entered into the spirit of the occasion and offering the can in ques- ton to Smith, admitted that he had stolen it. But Smith by this time had overcome his resentment, and refused to accept the stolen property. Keep it," he said; ''it's yours Didn't the jury decide that it be- longed to you? You stole it honestly" And with that another round of drinks was ordered.
 . Dr. Behla expects to meet MT. Smith in Seattle. and renew old associations and swap stories about early days in the wild and woolly Koyukuk

ANOTHER YEAR OF DELAY TO CANDLE CREEK DREDGE
 CAUSED BY DISASTER

The news recently published in The Pio- neer to the effect that the power boat Kuskokwim River, bound for Bethei on the Kuskokwim, from Seattle, had been dis abled, is now supplemented by more details. A Seattle dispatch of September 10 says:
 "The return to port here of the motor ship Kuskokwim River, which left here sev- eral days ago with large quantity of sup plies for Bethel and other points on the Kuskokwim river, in Alaska, probably will mean that the inhabitants of that section will be short of supplies during the coming winter For the boat returned III dls- abled condition, and there is now but very little chance that she can be repaired in time to make the trip. And no other craft for the run IS available.
 "As consequence of the return to port of the kuskokwim River, the Northern Commercial Company has hbeled the boat. The complaint in the proceedings asks the sum of s62,OOO from the owners of the boat, alleging breach of contract, in that the owners took the contract to deliver goods to the Northern Commercial Com panv's store at Bethel with the full knowl- edge that the Kuskokwim River could not make the trip with the power which IS used to navigate her.
 "When disabled the boat was carrying 600 tons of supplies, including foodstutfs, for kuskokwim river points, 1t also carried 300 tons of coal There were several pas sengers, among whom were two school teach CTS, who will not now be able to get to their stations this fail The return ot the vessel will also have the effect of delaying the construction of the hospital at Bethei, for the reason that the carpenter who has the contract for constructing inc building cannot get to Bethel this ialL It Is also understood that the boat earned a Q0aiita1y of supplies for the hospital,
 Had Dredge Material
 Henry Riley, who with Tom Altllen and Tom Mckinnon is ins; alllng dredge on Candle creek, in the kuSkokwlm district, says that the failure of the vessel to reach Bethel this season. besides probably causing a food shortage in that region, will have the effect of delaying the completion of the dredge for another year, as some of the most important machinery was on board. Early in the season the bulk of the dredge material was received at Bethel and landed at McGrath, from whence it Is to be frcighted during the coming winter. It was hoped to have the material all CT hand thi winter and that the d-2dse would bo con- structed and in running order for the com mencement of the mining season next spring. The delay in receiving the freight may cause loss of years time.
 Mr Riley left during the week for Cen dle creek, where he will remain fer some time, probably going Outside over the trail later.
