THE CUB SAYS

D. D. Bush, of Pocatello, bought
a farm of John Cotton couple oil
miles above Blackfoot on the east
side of the railroad. He has rs acres
of wheat, 6 Of oats, Of potatoes and
35 of hay.
J. @. Stone came from Utah, few
weeks ago, and bought the Lewis
Anderson place at Wapello, II acres
for So, 500, and has since been Of
fered SO, 900 for it. He says he
could only make $500 If he sold
it, and would not know where to in
vest again to so good advantage as
here.
J. B. Sage and sons have a large
dry farm west of Shelley in the edge
Of the desert, and report that some
of their wheat is pretty good, some
Of it is not worth cutting, and then
they have all the grades between
those two. They are harvesting
everything they can, and by reason
of the good quality Of the wheat and
the high price they will have very
good returns for the season. One
of the sons was drafted and rejected
in the physical examination, but
wants to join the medical corps.
Father Sage advises him to wait till
he sees whether all the other
brothers are drafted, and If so, he
might better remain to grow wheat.

saying much

DAN STEWART
 DIES SUDDENLY

News reached this camp last Tuesday of the sudden death of Dan Stewart on Thursday morn ing, December 6, at his home in Tolstoi, where the deceased and his partner, Joe Mitchell, re- sided. On that morning Stewart went to his cabin at an early hour, and lay down on his bunk. Several hours later Mitchell arose from his bed, prepared their breakfast, and asked Dan if he was ready to eat. Stewart replied that he wanted nothing. A few hours later Mitchell again went to the bedside of his part ner to ascertain his wants, but he had crossed the Big Divide.
 A messenger with a dogteam was sent to Ophir for Commis- sioner Moody to hold an inquest over the body of the deceased miner.
 Dan Stewart was we'll known throughout this part of Alaska, having prospected and mined hereabouts for over tea years. He was one of the first men to stampede into the Ophir coun- try, and he spent couple of

BIG RAGE WENT
 TO THE SWIFT

Well, we'll! after it's all said and done, twas 8 great race. The longest on record.
 What racs2
 List to our story-we'll tell 1t all.
 The human race, George Taylor's old man race, the Nome all-Alaskan sweep stakes race, the Winnipeg.St. Paul race, Meacham's "Blue Billy" racer all of them, one or collectively-they're all on the shelf, put away with moth balls and camphor, SO to speak, whom ono mentions tho big race that finished in this city on Wednesday last.
 It was the race that started at Seward in the youthful days of last November, between Old Man Christmas and First Consignment of winter mail for 1dlt- arod. to sec which would land here first. At the start 1t looked like cinch for First Consignment, because he had relays along the route, with fresh and fast dogteams and well paid happy drivers to hike him over the moss and niggerheads of the inland en- pire. Nothing like that for Old Man Christmas; he just had to ''mush it' day in and day out, siwashing every night, going just so fast and no faster he couldn't gain seconds time even had he left the harness on his dogs over night.
 By the time Anchorage was reached the betting odds against Old Man Christmas were cut down considerably, as First Consignment vas reported as hay ng trouble on his way. On the 18th of November, when First Con- signment finally got away from An chorage MT. Christmas was almost abreast, trifle wheezy and shaky-like on his underpinnings, but he heroically kept up his gait.
 A whole lot of time was spent be- tween Anchorage and McGrath-dur- ing which period Old Christmas (who was always coming) got several flashes of First Consignment's hold card"
 By the time Ophir was reached. First Consignment, firmly believing he had Old Man Christmas going instead of coming, took layoff of q couple of days, but Christmas kept on coming. It begun to look as though twas to be a repetition of tho fabled race between the Porpoise and the Hare-you know (as Maud says), the race is not always to tho swift.
 On last Monday evening First Con- signment limped into Billy Scher- meir's Halfway roadhouse all but out of commission-slod broken down, dogs dead tired.
 First Consignment remained St the Halfway house-about 18 miles from Iditsrod-two nights, probably laboring under delusion that he had reached the end of the race first, and was wait ing for the crowd to cheer the winner.
 Finally First Consignment was awak- ened and "put hep'-was told in earn est accents that Old Man Christmas was but couple of small divides be- hind, and was coming down tho stretch like "Blue Billy for his oats.
 First Consignment got away from Schermisr's on Wednesday-'twas just like breaking homo tiss; he wanted to know whom there'd be an election; thought ho gained a residence there, and was entitled to vote in the pre- cinct.
 When First Consignment was un- loaded at the local postotlce and was informed that Christmas was thirteen days away, look of sadness spread o'er his countenance, and he swore by the eternal bow-wows that he'd boon iobbed. Knew all the time that he was violating the mail.carrying con- tract by travelling too fast.
