The mass meeting for the nomination of candidates for members of the town coun- cil and a member of the school board was called to order at s 80 o'clock last Thurs day evening at the city hall About a score of persons were present, and no great spirit of rivairy was manifested for the distinction of serving the municipality during the com ing year While list of thirteen candidates for the council finally was made up, four of them withdrew their names later leaving nine names to be voted on to fill the seven positions cn the municipal council.
 Mayer Stanton. as chairman of the meet ing, after stating the purpose for which it was called, proceeded to business immedl atCly by calling for nominations for mem ocrs of the council. After practically every one in the hall had been nominated and many declnations had been received, nomi nation of persons not present on a chance that they might accept, was proceeded with
 Fer school trustee but one nomination was male, ]. J. Smith, the incumbent whose term expires this year, being named and the nominations closed.
 The Election
 The election Is to take place next Tues day, April I, at the city hall, the polls being open from 9 a. m. until D. m. Regstra ton of voters closed yesterday.
 In view of the fact that often there has been mi.unCerst andIng as to the qualltca tons of voters. 1t may be stated that all persons, male and femele Fl years of age and citizens of the United States, or who have declared their intention to become citizens. who have resided in the territory one year and in the town of Iditarod six months, are entitled to vote for town off ciaIs and member of the school board While registration Is provided for and the law apparently had in view the making of the provision obligatory on those who de sired to exercise the franchise, 1t has been held heretofore that the fact that person is not registered does not act as bar, if he or she possess the other qualifications of a voter.
 Of the councilmen whose terms are about to expire, but two-Herb Riley end Joe Smith-woUli al ow their names to be pre- sented for ren1mnaticn.
 Selection of Mayor
 Heretofore it has been the custom for the
 
 the election to become president of the coun- ell. CT mayor, by virtue of that fact, al though there is no warrant in law for such a practice The last territorial legislature provided that a special election might be held in incGrDorated towns in order to de ter1ine whether the office of mayor should be voted on separately but as Iditarod di1 net take advantage of the privilege 1t i> Irobsble that the old custom will prevail.
 While no great interest has been mani fe3ted in the election to date, it is probable that the few days before the election will see some activity displayed as it Is more than likely that for the first time in three years council will be called upcn to pro- vide revenue in addition to that received as she municipalitys share of the license money paid into the district court, to pay running expenses.

"Reminiscences of Deceased Trader

Edward B. Lind died recently at his home in San Francisc.o He began business as a trader on the Kuskokwim river some thirty years ago, for the old Alaska Commercial Company. When this company withdrew from the river they scld out to Mir Lind for 50 cents on the dollar.
 Mir. Lind owned a number of river boats, on one of which his three sons lost their lives near the mouth of the kuskOkWlm river. The three boys took the boat, the Anawanda, down on the lower river on some business Just before they left Bethel one of the native medicine men who flour ished at that time, and who was peeved about something, made the prediction that if they ever went down the river again they would not come back alive. The prophecy was a malicious one, and probably was laughed at at the time; but nevertheless more attention was paid to the mad utter ances of the medicine men then than now,
 When the Anawanda had been overdue a short time a searching party went to look for the boat, and found it floating around with the wind and tide. There was nothing on board to indicate or furnish a clue to the tragedy but broken water glass on the boiler The engines were set for the for ward stroke and the throttle was open.
 It IS believed that when the water glass broke the boys suddenly remembered the medicine mans prophecy and became terror stricken and sprang overheard. Their bod ies never were recovered, and it is only con lecture as to what happened.
 The year the Northern Commercial Com ho ohl hlsba posts at Aniak, Georgetown and Tokotna, Mir Lind sold out his buildings and went to San Francisco to reside. Among the build ings IS one of the two wooden forts built by the Russian Cossacks, and is a monu- ment showing how badly the natives had the Cossacks "buffaloed"

Ra;sina Potatoes cn the Ku:kokM.n

The year 1915 was the first season Tn which any general effort has been made to raise "murphys' on the kuskokwim. The yield was simply enormous. In most ln- stances the potatoes were sound, of good size and dry and mealy. The largest sing,c potatoes are reported to have been raised by E. w Parks, at Parks cnnabar mines, fifteen miles above Georgetown. He used a limestone rock to bull his furnaces, and when they became worthless for that pur- pose, used the lime for fertilizer. He Is reported to have had number of nOtat""s weighing more than six pounds each. Po- tatoes weighing more than two pounds eacn were raised on the Aniak whose waters arc heavily charged with lime. Tom L. John son. on his homestead at the mouth of the Aniak, had large yield, and was Eane capped by lack of seed for planting. lis planting for the 1916 crop will be largely ln excess of that of last year.
 Many natives Elanted small patches of potatoes, and were so we'll pleased with the results that much larger areas will be planted this year, including cabbage and tur- nips Last year Mr. ArbGckle of the 1dlta- rod Pioneer furnished nearly 100 sacks Of government seeds for distribution to the natives On the kuskokwim river
 At the village of Akiak the natives lad sold up to the first of March potatoes to the value of S642, and it IS estimated that they have in their cellars about $50 worth more to sell of the 1915 crop.
