MOOSE SMOKER AT FLAT
 A MOST INTERESTING EVENT

The Moose lodge held its final smoker of the season at its lodge room Tn Flat on Sun day night last. As it probably will be the last one of the season. the attendance was good and the program was of unusual in terest.
 Al the conclusion of the regular lodge business an appetizing lunch was served, after which the Eall was cleared and the program of the evening was given. This tests, songs, stories, speeches etc, the whole forming one of the most interesting enter tainments of the winter
 These smokers have been one of the features of winter life at Flat, and have been the means of passing otherwise dull and proftless Sunday evenings pleasantly for scores of miners, laborers, business men, and Tn fact all members of the community. Incidentally some real talent has been de vcoped in various lines of entertainment. Last Sunday night brought out somewhat of a surprise in the manly art of self defense A four-roun contest was pulled of between Kid" Wilson and Sid Sloman, known as the Oregon Kid" The boys from the outset showed a knowledge of the game that was surprising, and gave an cX- rceCIlngly clever exhibition. They were evenly matched and the referee, George Mutchler, declared the contest a draw, which was popular decision.
 Another interesting bout was that be tween George Mutchler and Eat Elm Up'' Johnson which also was declared draw.

OPENING OF MINING SEASON
 ISNOW BEING PREPARED FOR

During the past two weeks scores of men have arrived over the Seward 1dtarod trail in anticipation of the opening of the min ing season in this district. and preparations already are under way by many of the operators for the beginning of the season s work
 Riley's sawmiIl On Otter creek opened up during the past week, and a consider ale quantity of lumber will be cut there. The dredge on Otter creek Is being put in shape for operation, and an air of industry Is apparent already in that portion of the district.
 On Flat creek the dredge of the Yukon Gold Company is being made ready for the season, and several men are at work. The thawing crew was to commence work today The mess house of the company started up the first of the week, with Harry Harms in charge. The operators at the head of the creek also are busy men these days and on Willow creek and ad- joining streams there is considerable ac- tivity.
 Everything points to as large an output for the 1916 season as last year.

DUKE E. STUBBS IN TOWN

Duke E. Stubbs, postmaster at Aniak, and United States commissioner at that point, arrived in the city last night. His visit to Iditarod will be brief, as he says the trails will not last long under the present mild weather conditions.
 Mir Stubbs reports that there have been interesting times recently in Bethel ac- cording to reports reaching him from the residents of that place. Captain Munson, who is in charge of the schooner Bender Brothers which was frozen in at that point, was recently waylaid and beaten badly by three men, and trouble is still rife. There appears to be bad blood between certain of the white residents there which threat ems to result in further trouble
 One of the little children of Mrs. Fro hook, the wife of the government teacher whose journey north was interrupted by the loss of the schooner Abler near Juneau last fall, has just recovered from a severe attack of typhoid fever. Mrs. Frohock and children have been spending the winter at Bethel Mr. Frohock is in Juneau, and will join his family in the spring.

CANDLE CREEK OPERATOR
 HAS BUT LITTLE TO SAY

Dan McDonncll of McDt nncl & Bcvans. the Candle creek operators, arrived in the city on Monday last and has been spending a few days in the city ani district. With reference to the recently-reported rich finds made on their workings Mir Mcdonnell had but little to say except that he and his partner 'were perfectly sa.ished' with the outlook
 While reticent as to operations on Can dle creek, Mir. Mcdonnell was perfectly will ing to talk of the recent strike on Carl creek and of the great activity being mani fested on Canes creek, where much ma chnery has been installed during the past winter. However, he had nothing to report that has not already been placed before the readers of The Pioneer
 Tie outlook for a busy season on Candle creek and the adjoining Innoko camps Is extremely good says MT. Mcdonnell.
 A news item Of interest reported by the Candle creek man Is that the laundry re- gently installed by Billy Beyans has proven a success, and it hes been purchased by Herb kearHey, who will continue its opera ton during the summer.

DEMOCRATS OF THE DISTRICT HOLD PRIMARY ELECTIONS
 AND CHOOSE DELEGATES

The Democratic primaries for the cleo ton of delegates to attend the territorial convention to be held in Juneau next June took rlace on Saturday evening last at ldt- arod, Flat and Discovery, Otter.
 The gathering at ldtarod was in Ansiey' 5 hall Guy Geraghty and James C. Moody were nominated as candidates, but neither desired to make q contest and each evnced a disposition to retire in favor of the other MT Geraghty finally was elected by acc.. nation upon motion of Mir Moody The following resolution was adopted by the caucus:
 Resolved, by the Democratic caucus of Tditarod That we unqualifedly indorse the administration of Woodrow Wilson. Presi- dent of the United States, and heartily flvCr his re election.'
 At the conclusion of the proceedings re treatments and cigars were enjoyed by the assembled Democrats. A vote of thanks was rendered to Messrs. Manuel Gularte and William Ansley, who provided the spread.
 On the Greeks
 At Discovery Jay Johnston was made the choice of the Democrats of that precinct for delegate,
 The Flat caucus and primaries were hell at Moose hall, and were well attended. There was much interest in the proceedings and sharp rivalry for the delegate honors. The following were elected: George Young, Charles Young and Dr. Moore.
 7ke Fight for Proxies As the expense and time involved ill a journey to Juneau to attend the convention preclude the possibility of any of the dele gates elected at Saturdays primaries attend ing the gathering at the territorial capital the main contest in each instance was the disposition of the proxies of the elected dele gates. There seems to have been a lively demand for these documents, and at Flat the contest for their disposition was clear cut Among those from whom requests for proxies were received were Judge Bunnell District Attorney Roth and Clerk of the Court Clark of Fairbanks, and Territorial Secretary Davidson of Juneau The ere dential5 of the Iditarod delegate were or | dered sent to Judge Bunne l, those of the Flat delegates will go to Charles E. David son, and those of the delegate from Dis covery to Mir Roth.
