People Warned To
 Watch Stovepipes

John J. Buckley, chief of the Fair banks fire department, has issued a warning to the residents of Fair banks to look to their stovepipes. Especially would he issue such warning to those who have stoves which have not been used during the summer months, on account of the fact that the usual accumula- tion of soot and creosote from the use of the pipe during the previous year has a tendency to burn out in the fall when fire is first ig- nited in the stove and might cause trouble If the people will overhaul and repair their stovepipes, as re quested by Chief Buckley, the dan ger from fire will be materially lessened

DAN SUTHERLAND
 TALKS FUR WICK

My primary purpose in speaking here tonight is in the interest of my friend, Judge Wickersham," was the statement of Senator Dan Suth- erland at Eagle hall last Thursday night at the first non-partisan rally held here, after making d few pre- liminary remarks. When he made this statement he was roundly cheer ed by those assembled And he ad- hered to what he said, too, for dur ing his address he did not refer to his own candidacy for the senator ship other than perfunctorily.
 Senator Sutherland has now start ed for Nome, where he will cam paign in the interests of Delegate Wickersham. He spoke at Nenana Saturday night to good sized crowd, according to word received here
 The first speaker of the evening was Dan DriScoll. He spoke on the issues of the campaign in gen eral, and was followed by Hon. E. B Collins, of Fox, speaker of the Alaskan house of representatives and candidate for reelection on the non partisan ticket. MT Collins out lined the formation of the legisla- tive ticket in this division.
 During his speech Senator Suth- erland held the Democratic plat form up to ridicule. He also ridi- culed the government officials of the Fourth division, who stand as repre- sentatives of the Democratic admin istration. He spoke of the Demo cratic candidate as a man and as a candidate As man, he said, Chas. A. Sulzer is undeniably all that is said of him. As candidate, he was held up to ridicule by the senator from the Fourth division, who clear ly and convincingly showed, in his own opinion, why Delegate Wicker sham is more suited for the dele gateship than is MT. SulZer
 In defense of Delegate Wicker sham and in contradiction to the attacks which have been made upon him by Democratic speakers, both here and in other parts of the ter ritory, Senator Sutherland offered some strong documentary evidence of the delegates work at Washing ton in the interests of the Territory of Alaska in general.

 him Barney Old shovel" But those are merely stage names For in real life he is just plain Bobby Benner
 The reason for the various sobri- quets now being carried around by MT Benner is that he succeeded in navigating Mayor Myers automobile to Chitina and back. Of course, a strong back and considerable elbow grease, together with that instru ment of torture commonly known in interior Alaska as a No. 2' help ed some And that's where the shovel" comes in.
 Mayor Myers gives all of the cred it for the trip to his chauffeur. For with the assistance of the shovel, in the name only, of course, the round trip was made in good shape with the mayor and Benner arriving home last Tuesday morning.
 Mayor Myers took his family to the coast, and they then went on Outside. He and Benner stopped in the mountains and hunted for d few days on their return trip.

ONE WAY TO BEAT
 THE GAM E.

| Cided in city court one morning early last week. It related to whether or not automobile drivers could burn any old kind of light or whether their machines must carry a regula- tion auto lamp. Judge Buckley de | cided that all automobiles should carry regulation automobile lamps, | although he let the defendant in i the case before court, H. H. Ross, | off with a warning.
 Mr Ross has a regular run to the creeks. He always intends to make the run out and back during the | daylight hours, but last Monday he was delayed and did not reach town until nearly o'clock Therefore, when he reached the Garden Island end of the bridge he stopped his ma chine and affixed a couple of bugs 1 fore and after and started through town with them. And the bugs or tin cans holding candles, burned all right, but they did not satisfy | the provisions of the city ordinance in relation to automobile lights in l the opinion of Chief of Police Frank | c. Wiseman, and Mir Ross was ac cordingly cited to appear in city 1 court next day.
 In his defense, while the cause was being heard, Mr Ross said that his regular lighting apparatus was out of order and that that was the reason he had no lights. He had to go through town on the night in question and thought that the bugs" would be permitted Regardless of that fact, however, he is now using regulation automobile lamps. l WITHOUT Ten miles from the BENEFIT OF Yukon on the banks CLERGY. of this lake,

Not long ago these three fellows had ten days vacation all at the same time. And they decided that they would spend it on hunting trip on one of the sloughs which comes into the Panama river about 15 miles below Nenana.
 A ten days camping outfit, for three men, of course. takes up con siderable space Our heroes there fore decided that they would ship part of their camp equipment and supplies to Nenana by steamer, from which point they could easily pick it up and take it on down to their camping grounds.
 But when they started to pick up what was left at Nenana they found that It h&C been confisCated. hnd everybody knows about the laws re lating to the ConfiscatiOn by the governn ent at Nenana of certain kinds of commodities.

SHOW WAS TOO SHORT FOR THEM.

SHOW WAS Dick Thorne has in TOO SHORT augurated a system FOR THEM. at his show house
 since his arrival home from the Outside which has been very puzzling to even regular moving picture goers. It is an ar rangement whereby two producing machines are used by the operator, and there is now no break between pictures The plan has had the eff feet of saving time, and there are now but few intermissions between pictures. each show being practical ly continuous.
 The reason that the arrangement was puzzling to the movie fans was that they had been used to at least three intermissions during a show, one between each reel of film shown. Therefore, for the first few nights that the new plan was in vogue, they thought that they were getting the bunk, although they Knew they had seen four pictures and had a vague idea, while keeping their eyes on the screen work, that the film was rather long one. The chief reason for the mistake was that two short pictures are very ire quently found on one reel of film.
 For the first few nights it was necessary for the operator to put on the good night slide between shows in order to make the first show people know that they had seen everything which was to be shown But the fans are now learn ing rapidly, and all now move at the first intermissiOn. or after they have seen the prescribed number of pie lures.

 But the fact of the matter is that Mir Vining discovered that nobody wants fancy priced chickens at Ne mana. The reason is that the res taurants there do not charge more than from 50 cents to 75 cents for meals, and cannot afford to put Outside chicken on their bills of fare at those prices.
