 Charles Sulzer writes to M. O. Solberg, territorial committee man, thanking him and his supporters in this division for the work that they did for him and assuring him that it was greatly appreciated.

 A number of sourdoughs who formerly regarded the light fantistic with contempt have been made to see the folly of their ways, and are now thanks to instructions received in the terpsichorean art, fairly well adopts at the most complicated steps involved in the modern "danse joyeuse', as Hogan says.
 Chas Dahlquist who operates the Safety asylum for travellers, yclept a roadhouse, is in town after sup plies for his well known hotel. This season, the Safety roadhouse has justified it's name and proved a veri- table haven in many of the terrific blizzards that have made the sever- ity of this winter so remarkable in every way.
 The Juneau Empire intimates that the Territorial Treasury is not so bloated with wealth as people had been led to believe. Although they have been defeated in the District and Circuit Courts, the cannerymen will not jar loose their taxes until they get decision from the Supreme Court.

 Fred Larson arrived with the Tel Ter mail at about three yesterday afternoon, taking three days and a half with reindeer from the Port Clarence burg. The day before vest erday it was blowing a living gale at Gold Run and forty below, so that mail carrying under such Arctic conditions was no picnic. Larson also says that Pete Blomquist and Joe Goodwin had a fierce time on the trip to Teller Although but mile from Cape Douglas native vil!- age, they had to stay out in the worst blizzards for AS hours and ar rived in Wooley with faces badly frozen. Their dogs played out on the way and this made their plight on the trail quite serious. Gehrman and son also going to Teller were storm bound at Wooley for a whole week having been able to escape the blizzard which caught Blomquist and Goodwin. The cold in the Port Clarence district is defying the sink ing capacity of the best behaved thermometers, and the inhabitants say that they never experienced the like. Withal Ole Martinisen and Martin Corliss are making good pro- gress taking out good sized dump on their ground on the Bluestone, about all the productive mining in that vicinity.
