conditions were dull and inactive during the winter season just passed. i,
 Gum boots have been now cut by the P. A. Peterson Go. to $7. This is the result of competition among the various dry goods merchants who have been quietly cutting the price in. this necessary commodity for which ten bucks was charged last summer. The ability to sell boots for $7.00 formerly sold for ten dollars is not without some signi- ficance.
 Outside papers explain the reason for the Senator's operating from San Francisco to Nome direct by the fact that it is thus enabled to bring in the camps booze supply. Says the Coast Seamen's Journal in this con nection: "she will go to the Far North without stopping on the Sound. The change is made, it is said, on account of the stringent pro- hibition law in Washington. By running out of San Francisco she will be in a position to supply a part of the liquor trade in Alaska, traffic she would bc unable to pro- cure by operating out of Seattle. The Senator will leave on her frs. trip from San Francisco about June 1".
 Chris Gudmanson who has been at Wales returned at four o'clock vest erday morning from Teller. He says there is no trail between here ana Teller and it was soft as mush con- ing along the coast and overland from Grantley harbor. Patches ot open water intersperse the coast line at intervals but nothing to omount to anything. Geese and crane have been feeding up after their long trip from the outside, around Teller weeks ago and in consequence fresh fowl meat has been enjoyed by min CTS, prospectorS and others not so much entitled under the law, aI- though Chris didn't say so. At Wales there was open water across Boring straits, but the ice was not going through very fast, at least not so that you could notice it. There was no summer working in the coun- | try and no preparations for any to speak of although the season was far more advanced than here.
 The latest story current regarding business changes in Nome is to the effect that Kracower brothers and Simon Simson have joined hands to operate dry goods and notion store in the building operated by the Nonpareil which for tna, reason IS now selling out. The men are re- puted to have bought this building. In addition they will operate g mo- tion picture show in that building which was occupied by the Surprise store. The report that Simson would run the Eagle shows end hao acquired it from the F. o. E. is not correct and was not correct at any time. The shows will be operated part of the summer by lessee who is now in Nome and who has ordered however through Simson's commis- sion agency a number of desirable films. He prosumes that Simson will bring them in for him although he had no notion that Simson was go- ing to run a movie himself. Seiden- verg who has lease with option on the Cheap John store building re- ceived notice to pay up within twen- ty four hours or vacate the building. However upon his looking up his lease from Kracower he found, as he felt he would, that he had ten day option and forthwith wired out tho money. Meantime Kracower let the l building to Sol Lewis put since uls- patching the mazuma he has not heard. So it is possible that they may lock horns when the boats come in. Any way although Nomeites felt that the camp was gone to blazes ap- parently it looks good to a number who find it hard picking on the sunnier outside.
