ditions. Only a short time ago profes-
sional men OF Barre told me that condi-
tions here in the city were vastly worse
in 1916 than in the years of no Ii
cense. What more conclusive evidence
can we desire than the report of the
chief of police, which refers to 33l ar
rests for intoxication. In January there
were Is arrests, in February I, in March
s and in April II, all under no license.
How many were there in May, the first
month of the open saloon regime? The
answer is 62. In June there were 2S, in
July 32, in August IS, in September %.
in October AS and in December 90. Other
offenses recorded in the chiefs official re-
port may be traced to intemperance
The figures are too revealing to need ex-
tended comment. Nor do they represent
the sum total of inebriacy, for many in
toxicated persons, while on their way to
their homes, have been permitted to pur-
sue their way, even though noticed by
the police"
At this iuneture Father McKenna re-
piled to the allegation that the church
is not opposed to the saloon by reading
excerpts from a decree of the late Pope
Leo in which the faithful are urged to
remain away from places where liquor is
sold. To frequent these places, especially
on Saturday nights and on the Lords
day is zone way Of profaning the law"
and the decree considers it imperative to
utter words of condemnation against
such practices and to urge Catholics
never to take part in the traffic or pat
ronize saloons.
In closing, the priest said that he was
averse to seeing women at the polls. but
believed they should be allowed to have
a voice on the local option issue, mas
much as they are the ones who more
often experience the most evil effects of
He spoke of the tidal wave
Of prohibition, which has made % states
"bone dry" and Landed the forces that
are trying to make America dry. Final
ly, he besought his parishioners to re-
member their solemn duty, while mind
full of the countless evils wrought by the
saloon and vote against its retention.

OFFERS MEMBERS FEDERAL
 UNION CHEAPER COAL

At the meeting of the Federal Labor Union on Monday night, it is stated that communication was read from the Alaska Lighterage and Com. Co. offering a special rate of coal to members in good stand ing this Fall. The company, ae cording to this information, offered to supply coal to such members at the rate of $22 a ton, this being three dollars cheaper than the rate sold to the rest of the public.
 No explanation was given by the membership for this action upon the part of the company, although it was unexpected.

LOCAL ITEMS.

Local officials are Investigating the matter of a check for $500 is sued to Joe Kennedy, a Dime creek miner, and cashed by some one else in local bank, after payment had been stopped in the bank on which it was issued. The case was before Judge SethmaE ill Dime creek where one man was given a hearing on the matter but the case dismis- sed for lack of evidence. The man holding the check was beaten to it coming to Nome, according to one version told, by tho order stepping payment coming from Dime. How ever the check was not turned iii at the bank upon which it was drawn but cashed in tEo other enc. Moreover it is claimed that the check was properly endorsed by the payee and was ir other respects regular. The signature is said to be the subject cf dispute and it is likely that the whole case will re- ceive an airing in the courts.

BLIND NATIVE CHILD
 WILL BE SENT OUTSIDE

Iditarod ladies have been engaged during the past week in circulating a subscription paper in aid of the little blind native girl, Marie Marcel, whose case wa mentioned in The Pioneer some time ago. They have been meeting with liberal response, and intend to canvass the creeks next week. The subscription paper recites that
 Marie Marcel, native Indian girl about eight years of age. was seriously i'll four years ago, which illness resulted in blind ness. It is the opinion of Drs. Auringer and Moore that the affliction is not perma- nent, and that her sight can be restored if placed in the hands of experienced special ists in Seattle or Portland who are equipped for handling such cases
 This being a very worthy cause, 1t is felt that all should contribute something
 Mrs U C. Norton, Mrs J. c. Currin and Mrs Anna Young have kindly con sented to act as a committee to take charge of expenditures and make all necessary ar. engagements for placing her in the hands of specialists

DEATH OF WOODCUTTER
 AMID LONELY SURROUNDINGS

The body of Sam Austin, a woodcuttcr, was found in tent on Storm creek, little freouented tributary of the ldltarod river about a mile and a half from the old Summit roadhouse on Monday last, and the matter was immediately reported to the marshal's office. A coroner's jury was immediately impaneled, and accompanied by Commissioner Geraghty, immediately pro ceeded to the scene.
 They found the body of Austin, terribly emaciated lying on the floor of the tent, in front of the stove in which apparently he had been attempting to make fire when seized by a fatal malady. Appearances seemed to indicate that the man may have starved to death, although there were plenty of provisions in the tent, which he seems to have been unable to prepare for food His death is supposed to have oc cured about the first of May, and strange feature of the case is that witness at the inquest testified to seeing the man lying on the floor of the tent about two weeks prior to the discovery of the body by other witnesses.
 Nothing that would throw any light on the mans antecedents was elicited at the inquest, and as in the later inquest over the body of Richard Langley, it seems remark able that his acquaintances should know so little about him. As to whether he had any relatives, or where they might be To- cated, nothing has been learned.
 J. E. Cunning testified that he and Alex Grubas found the body about l2 :55 p. m. on May 20 Deceased worked for the wit ness, and the last time he saw him was in Flat on March l5 He said that deceased was of quiet disposition, and had no reIa- tives or close personal friends, 30 far as he knew. He did not drink, and had no enc mics. Austin came from Ophir last July. and was about 5 or 60 years of age. He worked as woodcutter ill winter and Q. 9 miner in summer
 Alex Grubas corroborated the former wit | ness's testimony as to the finding of the body. He did not know deceased person ally.
 Peter Oleson Wiese said that he came to Storm creek about two weeks ago, looking for wood He looked in the tent and saw deceased in the same position as he now lay He thought he was drunk, and said How do you do?" The man did not move or say anything, and he went on about his business. T did not want to bother him

When completed the boom will be anchored short distance below town to receive about eighteen hun dred cords of wood which the woodsmen intend to drive down the Iditarod river within the next few weeks. The wood was cut and yarded about one hundred miles from this city

as 1 was afraid he might get mad" said the witness. T suspected something was wrong, and reported to the Cunning brothers. l did not know him."
 The jury brought in a verdict as follows
 We, the jury impaneled and sworn to in- quire who the deceased was, when, where and by what means he came to his death, and into the circumstances attending his death, do find that the said Sam Austin came to his death at Storm creek, Otter precinct, Alaska, on or about the first day of May, 1917.
 The jury was composed of Claud Baker w. E. Ansley, w. R. Day, w. C. Mitchell Charles Bowman and c. G. Lamont
 The funeral was held on Wednesday last from Smiths undertaking parlors
