 lOtdl 4oO JUL The following people left the Koyukuk on the last trip of the Reliance for the Outside and a good time: Mir. and Mrs o. R. Williams, Miss Nellie Cashman we'll and ia vorably known all over Alaska as the woman who has helped more than any other to develop the Coun- try; Phil M Eiffler, who, his friends suspect will return north with bride MT. and Mrs. M, E. Smith, of Nelson & Smith; H. s. Wana, maker. Mike Slico, B. Cockerill, sam Olsen, who has sold out his in terests in the northern camp; Char ley Nolin, Carl Frank Ed Brooker, M. NaXtrm, F. Wissinger, Tony Pas5ck and A. Sweeney.
 It is stated that the largest stock of feed and staples in the history of the camp was landed at Bettles this season. This is due to the fact that the Northern Commercial company is supplying all of the needs of the country now, having bought out the only other mercan- tile establishment there, that of Nelson X Smith.

RAILROAD NEWS

Thomas Riggs, Jr., member of the Alaskan Engineering commission, has announced that the commission has leased 20 acres of ground from the Panama Valley railroad for termi- nal purposes. The ground is located almost directly across the river from St Matthew's hospital. After the ice goes out in the spring work on d dock and warehouse on the prop erty will be commenced MT. Riggs is authority for the statement, how ever, that the terminal which has been determined upon is not per manent; that it may be moved to some other location.
 The only particularly active sec tion along the railroad this winter will be at Nenana, according to Com missioner Riggs. The activity will consist chiefly of rock work on the north side of the Panama river, the steam shovel which will be used having already been set up. It is likewise expected that the narrow gauge railroad material which will be used in construction will reach Nenana before the close of naviga- tion.

 The high bench claims of Nolan creek have improved. Coarse gold has been found on Slate and Por cupine creeks. tributaries of the middle fork. and have every indica tion of becoming fair summer pro ducers. Good prospects have been found. also a $26 nugget, early this spring on Eureka creek by Brown brothers. Eureka is tributary of John river, and is about 75 miles from Bettles.
 On POrcupine creek, a tributary of Middle Fork, about two and one half miles from Coldfoot. a few snipers got about $25 to the man per day in coarse gold Malamute Sam. an oldtimer in the country took out about $3,O00 this season from the same ground. Malamute sam is a partner of Fireaway Jack, another oldtimer. and these men propose prospecting this ground on a larger scale than heretofore.
 On Marion creek, tributary of Middle Fork. five miles from Cold foot, extensive prospecting is now under way. The work is being done by Jack Holzer X Co, and they have sent considerable mining ma chinery, pumps, etc, to the place.

But they didn't come. which set Mr Healey 10 worrying, so he wired the Portland house about them The wire was answered by letter which said in part that the goods had left Portland on the steamship Bennington and that it was hoped that the Bennington would reach Fairbanks at an early date with the cargo.

 Fishing This is fish story. Good At And it is not like the NuIato. usual fish story, in
 that. while most tellers of such tales usually swear on the Bible and the memory of all of their deceased ancestorst that their stories are true. it's truth and ve- racity can be testified to by pie lures in the possession of George Parks and Bob Toussaint
 The steamer Reliance was com pelled to stay in port for a day at Nulato on her last trip. And hay Ing nothing better to do. Captain George Green, Purser Bob Toussaint and George Parks, who was a pas 5enger on the boat bound for Fair banks. decided that they would go fishing
 They took one of the ships boats and proceeded up the Nulato river about a mile, or until they came to likely looking hole. There they threw their hooks into the water, with the result that they caught 137 of what Bobby calls Dolly Warden trout in the course of an hour. By that tune the baIt and hooks gave out. For some of the fish caught were so heavy that they strengthened out the hooks with their weight
 The pictures of the fish, of course, corroborate the story. And all three of the fishermen, who have had experience in various parts of the world at different times, are agreed that their fishing that day was the greatest ever.

 Knocking Some of the business Their Own men of Fairbanks have Business. been "hollering" on ac-
 count of business con ditions here this summer. Others assert that the season has been one of the best they have ever known The latter element, how ever. is the one which supplies the actual necessities of life.
 And one of those necessities, al though it isn't good to eat and can not be worn, has been lumber. For with the great demand for building material made by the construction work, both governmental and .ndl- yidual, now going on at Nenana, together with the improvements which have been made in Fairbanks during the summer, both by indi viduals and by the city, the lumber And at that they have not been able to deliver lumber in sufficient quantities to supply the demand causing delay in all lines of work Which fact has had the effect ol causing the price of the product to take a jump. And it has also caused the order of several com plete lumber making outfits from the Outside.
 But in purchasing lumber this summer many people who did so have learned a lesson. For, after figuring up the prices charged here, and the relative cost of manu facture both here and on the Out side, some of them have decided that, while they are willing to pat ronize home industry and pay the manufacturer reasonable profit, they will wait until next year be fore doing their contemplated con struction work and will order their lumber from the Outside.
 And the lumber manufacturers are not the only ones who are knock ing their own business in this man ner For it is a we'll known fact that there is a large percentage of the population of Fairbanks which orders all kinds of household goods, wearing apparel etc, from the Out side mail order houses who would order here, were it not for the fact that such eXorbitant prices in a great many lines are charged.
