 Chris Anderson who returned yesterday from Oregon creek after having supplies hauled out there says that coming back the bottom had fallen out of the trails and the freighting was very heavy. Freight CTS say that the work of hauling supplies on sleds out to the camps is about finished any way, and what will be done will hereafter have to await wagons and solid trails.
 It is understood that the railroad l to the Kougarok will be operated this summer again by w. J. Rowe. He will put on two gasoline cars, one car is here and another jitney track car is coming in on the first boats. Just as soon as snow and weather conditions permit, Rowe l intends to make a trip of inspection over the road to ascertain what i'm provements are absolutely requisite to the continuous operation of the railroad this summer. A good deal of freight offerings are expected from several operators and there should be a large movement of sup plies over the road during the com- ing season. The two bad snow banks at the U. S. and the Nugget will be taken care of in due time. ;. Yesterday the water flowed some freely.

 from excess of water.

 Here at Nome we are less fortunate 5 as the water is visible, only fal ways out. Still the ice which hither to has been very solid inshore is ris | ing and a good brisk northerly gale u would soon take it away.
