FEARED AN OLD
 TIMER HAS PERISHED

DAWSON, Feb. 4-Fears are en- tertained that Sam Timm, old time KlOndiker, has perished in the snow somewhere near Granville on the mouth of Gold Run. He had been liv- ing in a cabin on Twenty-three pup, Gold Run, for a long time. No one of the district remembers having seen him since December 19. He had been talking of going to Stewart Crossing, to visit a man there at the roadhouse, and possibly of going to Eureka creek. The police and others have in- quired at the various points, and have found no trace of Timm. His friends at Granville believe he must have fallen in the snow somewhere near the mouth of Gold Run or Gran vile on his way home. Owing to the heavy storms the body of anyone hav- ing been lost in that region during tho period probably would not be reveal ed to view until the snow disappears In the spring,-Ex.

MARS, MIDAS AND CUPID
 FINISH 4 FINE ROMANCE

Special to Gateway by United Press)
 NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-On the wharf here today as Mir. and Mrs. Yves Nat sailed away on their honey moon to France, stood a strange triumvirate of gods: Mars, Midas and Cupid, smiling their united benedic- ton upon this happy conclusion of the war zone romance they three matched up. Mir. Nat is a pianist well known in the United States and France. Nearsightedness prevents the artist from serving at the front, but he has devoted himself to war relief work in America and Europe ever since the war began. Mrs. Nat was Miss Piney Sutherland, only daughter of the late Canadian fnancier, Daniel Fraser Sutherland of Winchester, Ontario. After her fathers death Miss Suther- land became the active manager of the twenty-five Canadian banks her father bequeathed her. It was in pursuit of the affairs of Midas, god of gold, that Miss Sutherland met Mir. Nat, who was seeking funds at the behest of Mars, god of war, for the relief of some of Mars victims. In New York, in Paris and in Ontario on several occasions the two met. Then Cupid, (you all know him), came slipping around the corner and shO, them both with weapon more fatal than any Mars, with all his science and ingenuity in munitions making has devised. Mrs. Nat is a friend of Mrs. David Belasco, who was one of the few guests at the wedding here a few days ago. In Paris Mrs. Nat will organize recreation centers for Cana dian soldiers on furlough and Mir Nat will devote himself to the work of the Appuy aux Artistes, an organ l ization that cares for the families of destitute artists.

ENGINEERING COMMISSION AT SEWARD CLEARING THE
 SHIP FOR ACTION.

The Engineering Commission at Seward is now getting out orders for work with the emergency money. Everything is being cleared up in readiness.
 There is no way of telling what the result has been of the call for bids for cutting ties and so much difficulty has been found in securing the names of any bidders that it creates feel ing that not many are looking for the contracts, but this cannot be said positively From what can be learn ed by men who are thinking of ask ing for contracts it appears that 37 cents tie is the regular price and that the 32 cent ties are only to be a small number and of the cull variety.

.LINDERBERG
 FOR GOVERNOR
ANOTHER MAN MENTIONED AS LIKELY REPUBLICAN CAN
 DIDATE FOR JOB.

Through some channels which it is impossible to follow the report has come that Jafet Linderberg, one Of the discoverers of Nome and the president of the Pioneer Mining Company, will be a candidate for tho governorship of the territory if the Republicans win the national elections this year. Linderberg is a reputed millionaire and is undoubtedly popu- lar. For several years, even before he became a full-Aedged American citizen, Linderberg has been associat- ed in a prominent way with Republi- can politics and was even a delegate to a national convention. He was also recently decorated by the king of Nor way. The question of a candidate for Republican gubernatorial honols seems now to be agitated quite bit. There is nothing more heard about the idea that Wickersham will be a candj- date but one might guess that noth- ing more will come out until after the Republican territorial convention. One little item which must be taken into account, however, is the side that will be elected in the presidential struggle.

Lodge Win be Organized and
 Rebekahs Also Probably.

The Odd Fellows held a smoker last evening in the offices of Dr. O.. J. Keating. The affair was we'll a'- tended and proved both pleasant and profitable.
 At the last meeting of the Odd Eel lows club 1t was definitely decided that a lodge of the order would be or ganized in Seward just as soon as the necessary number of demits could be obtained These have been sent for and will soon be received During the smoker last evening the details of or ganizaHon were discussed, and an portant points.
 port points.
 Nearly all the odd Fellow lodges in Alaska are under the jurisdiction of the grand lodge of the States of Washington. The Seward Odd Eel lows will organize under the Sovereign Grand Lodge of the World, and will not affiliate with any state jurisdic- ton. This course will be followed because it is thought that within the next two years a grand lodge of Odd Fellows will be organized in Alaska.
 The ladies auxiliary to the Odd Fellows organization is known as the Rebelah lodge. The discussion last evening brought out the fact that there are enough Rebekahs in Seward to organize. The Odd Fellows will encourage the Rebelahs to organize as early as possible.
 It is more than probable that the Odd Fellows will build within a short time after organization. However, no definite plans can be made in this matter until after the lodge is insti- tuted.
 The Odd Fellows are starting out patronizing home industry. The cigars used last evening were of Sew ard manufacture.

The fact that the Commission has given the quick order for ties and that part of the emergency appropri- ation will be used for the purchase of two or three new cars for the Alaska Northern has given rise to the belief that Seward will be made the base for the rock work next winter beyond the present northern end of the Alaska Northern. This belief is apparently we'll founded and, indeed, there seems to be no other way out of it.

''Toxic poisons In the blood are thrown out by the kidneys. The kid neys act as filters for such poisons. If we wish to prevent old age coming too soon and increase our chances for long life, we should drink plenty of pure water and take little Anuric." !" says the famous Dr. Pierce of Buffalo, N. '.
 When suffering from backache, ire quent or scanty urine, rheumatic pains here or there, or that constant tired, worn-out feeling. the simple way to overcome these disorders is merely to obtain little Anuric from your near est druggist and you will quickly no. tice the grand results. You will find 1t many times more potent than lithia. and that 1t dissolves uric acid as hot water does suRr.
