CALL FOR GARDEN SEEDS
 IS BRISK THIS SEASON

There has been an unusual inquiry for garden seeds this spring, and while there is at present no indication that the time IS .ipe for gardening, preparations ar" being made for the coming growing season,
 For some unknown reason The Pioneer was not favored by the Washington au- 'thorties last year with the customary bag of seeds, and therefore Is in no position to further the agricultural aims of its friends, as heretofore But it is believed that quantl- ties of government seeds were consigned to some person or persons in the district for distribution Should this be the case we will be glad to make it known.
 There seems to be general unanlmlty oi opinion that owing to war conditions AH kinds of vegetables will increase greatly m value during the coming season, and besides will be hard to get even at the Increased prices The canned goods brokers are in, forming local merchants that it will be difficult to supply their orders, any f E not at all unlikely that there will be 3 shortage ill many lines.
 It therefore behooves all who CT" n DO yition to do so to cultivate what ground IS available in this vicinity and thus add to their own wealth, enjoy the fruits ot thelr toll and relieve the pressure on the market

POPULAR YOUNG COUPLE
 WERE QUIETLY MARRIED
 AND NOISILY CHARIVARIED

Attended by even more than the GUS tomary secrecy which has attached to many weddings which have taken place in this community, and with the usual futile re- suit, as far as keeping the event from the knowledge of the public is concerned, Miss Albertine M Floan and Garrison Costar were quietly married at the home of MT. and Mrs Cyril P Wood on Sunday evening last. 'rhe ceremony was private, Commissioner Geraghty performing the rite,
 After wedding supper served m theIr honor the bride and groom left for their future home at Flat
 That the attempt at secrecy had utterly failed was evident when q score or so of Flats citizens called on the newly-weds and informed them that the following evening q charivari party would cal! upon them, and on Monday evening, true to the warn ing, apparently the whole town of Flat joined in noisy demonstration III front Of the nome Ol MT ana MS. Sos'dl' hFoiS kind of an instrument that could be tortured into making d noise was utilized for the oc- ccsion, and this truly Alaskan custom may be said to have been followed according to the best traditions The bride and groom took the demonstration in good part, and invited the serenaders to participate of thelr hospitality. Refreshments, both solid and liquid, were provided in abundance and cigars were lighted and toastS drunk to the hGslth of the young couple.
 As climax to the celebration the newly married couple were informed that ball had been prepared in their honor, and headed by men beating makebeleve drums and blowing lmprovised horns, the proces- sion started for Moose hall to await the guests of honor. On their arrival dancing was indulged in and musical selections were rendered One of the pleasant features ot the evening was vocal solo by the bride, accompanied by Mir Costar on the piano Harry Leland also rendered T vocal solo.
 The bride is charming young 'chee- chako" who arrived here last summer and has been an operator in the telephone ex- change. She has made hosts of friends here during her brief residence, who will wish her and her husband all the happiness in the world. MT. Costar is the efficient and popular local manager of the Yukon Gold Companys extensive interests here.

MANY MEN EMPLOYED
 IN WORK OF PREPARATION
 FOR SEASON OF MINING

Despite the fact that the spring is rather backward, and there are as yet no evidences of breakup, considerable work is being in augurated on nearby creeks in anticipation of the opening of the mining season. For nearly two weeks the Yukon Gold Com puny has had large forces of men at work, day and night, engaged in thawing opera tions, in order to have ground ready for the commencement of the seasons work by the big dredge on Flat creek Little or nothing is being done on the hill claims al the head of the creek however, as the sea son IS not far enough advanced. Beyond getting in fuel and supplies, for which pur- poses the roads are still in excellent condi- tion, few men are at work
 On Otter creek the Otter Dredge Company has a large force of men at work on pre- paratory work, and on Black creek, where the smaller dredge will soon be at work many men are being employed.
 On all sides there are signs of the spring awakening in mining circles, and a few days of propitious weather would see a re sumption of work on many claims.
 There is considerable speculation as to what if any, effect the increased cost of supplies vii! have on the seasons mining operations It seems to be the consensus of opinion that because of the fact that oper- ators have been enabled to take advantage of the prevailing moderate prices there will be little evidence of curtailment this year But should prices of supplies and material be materially increased, as now seems be yond doubt, the season of 1918 will witness d temporary cessation of operations on low. grade ground.
 Already the effect of the starting up of work is noticeable on the streets of Flat. Not as many men are noticeable in the streets and resorts, and the large influx of men from the Outside IS being rapidly as simulated by the surrounding camps and creeks
