he words the greater length of Ehich," in the Candle news contribut- >d early in September. conveys a misleading impression and one mani- estly unfair to the road commissio on. While 1t is true that we have total # little over two miles of road built Candle "the greater length of which vas improved by poll tax" as stated, yet, by far the greater amount ex- pended on this two miles was ex- pended by the road commission.
 Now you correspondent has no de- sire to detract from any credit due he commission for the work done or he manner in which 1t was executed. tgo under MT. Fry's direction was particularly well and efficiently exe- ,uted, yet the fact remains that noth- ng at all was done last year and this ear saw only some willows cut for 'OiiiO PAOSPSNNANS OPShoStNAi' AN<N' year. Candles proportionate share )f last years an~~c--,-~iation must have )een small indeed if 1t would not have ufficed to have this preparation made ast year, if the commission thought 1t absolutely necessary to the prac- ,icability of doing something here his summer.
 About the middle of September mean little robbery was perpetrated )n MT. O. A. Lundberg of No. 20 Candle, when about 27 ounces of gold lust was stolen from large poke In his trunk which was unlocked. MT. 4undberg suspected an employe. B newcomer in the camp who, on quit ng MT. Lundberg's employ. was seer resurrecting a cache. Contending hat he was hurt by a scraper anc apparently suffering excruciatinl
 gony, he was brought to town but, l'ter arriving at the hospital, refused let Dr. Welch examine him md eturned to his room in a hotel.
 Our deputy marshal called on him u1lng the night and found gold Ius, a u snuff can on shelf in the roam orr2sponding in amount and appear nee tc that stolen from MT. Lund- berg. The man accused of being 'o>sesso1 of the taking ways Is now )eing afforded time to examine his fingers for bird-lime in MT. Numbers tastIle, as he Is being held to await he action of the grand jury. Hart's anit:. rum must afford remarkable p''rrtunities for recuperation as the prisoner effected a phenominally rapid recovery.
 Mir. Dimmick. while in Nome. In. vested in a moving picture outni witch has been we'll installed unde he capable direction of MT. Mullen The first exhibition of this kind ever given in Candle was held Sunday evening, September 8. and the spec tators numbered about one hundred at one dollar per.
 The mail we should have had over | week ago may reach us some time his winter, maybe. if two much of IL 1as not accumulated In Nome. Some Title supplies too, expected on the Silver Wave, and of which the camp sands In need we will probably have 70 do without. But let us cheer up r. looks as though we had abou' reached the limit, and when circum- stances get bad enough things have a !appy way of fighting themselves.
