 George, native, brought down a full load of dog salmon for the U. s. Mercantile Co. from Teller. Dog salmon in Nome is pretty we'll peluk and seal meat, whale flesh and tom cod have been utilized to keep the ribs of the freighting malamutes from peeking through their hide.
 Charles Madsen, formerly Of Nome, now game warden or of some other official position at Port Moller says that the cannery company there is coming to Nome with a ship in the spring to hire one hundred natives to work in the cannery. Madsen will accompany the boat to Nome and will doubtless aid in securing the native help for the company. The news is conveyed in a letter from Madsen to the U. s. Mercan- tile company.

 A story published in the Empire stirred Juneau and radiated all through Alaska. This was to the effect that the road appropriation has been eliminated from the gen eral bill in the House by and with the advice of Delegate Wickersham because the money was wasted any way. The inference from such a story was that this was a neat side winder at the Alaska Road Commis- sion. Telegrams were at once dis patched throughout the territory getting mayors and chambers of commerce to wire Senator Cham berlain so that the appropriation would be re-inserted in the Senate. Some friends of the delegate got the notion that the telegram was sent out with view of still further dis crediting Wick with the people and for that reason were in favor of de- laying action. However yesterday they took the bull by the horns and sent telegrams to Senator Chamber" lain and eke to Wickersham.
