ROLAND OUTFIT HAS CLOSE CALL
 CROSSING RIVER
Big Freight Rig Becomes Stalled and Horses Get Into the
 Icy Water.

The Roland freight outfit, which started for Fairbanks early last even- ing, spent large part of the night in the ice and water near the nor thern shore of the river, opposite the Commission sawmill. Considerable water has gathered on the ice in front of Nenana, and this, together with the deep snow, brought the freight rig to a standstill short distance from the shore opposite town.
 The plight of the stage man was noticed by the guard on duty on the reserve and a hurry call was sent to town for assistance, it being be- lieved at the time that the stage horses had broken through the ice.
 With the assistance thus secured, the stage man transferred his freight from the big sleigh to double enders and the smaller sleighs, securely bound with canvas, were snaked across the open stretch of water to the dry shore beyond, where the freight was reassembled for loading on to the big sleigh.
 Aside from a delay of several hours, and the discomfort of wading about in the icy waters of the over flow, no damage resulted, and the outfit is now we'll on its way to the upper town.
 The stage has second class mail for Fairbanks and the Outside.

FISHING PARTY SPENDS DAY 0N
 JULIUS CREEK
Early Quest for Finny Prizes Results In Disappointment for Entire
 Party,

Tempted by the tales of great deeds done and the enormous quan- tity of grayling taken here, and the glorious weather prevailing; party or ardent Waltonites made a special trip to Julius Creek yesterday, equip ped with all the latest appliances known to the fishing world and de- termined to go one better than the best "yarn" they had heard
 The stream was wide open, the weather just right and the banks of the stream not too sloppy; and, pick ing out likely looking place the first casts were made with much tre- pidation and world of expectancy, while visions of grayling, fried, broil- ed, boiled and served in several tooth some ways floated before their minds vision.
 After the excitement of the first half hour had died down some and many casts had been made, the spot was abandoned for another that seemed to hold more promise of great results. .~: @.
 A score or more of likely-looking places were tried out and abandoned during the course .of the day, and with the exception of a glimpse or two of 1.-the, scaly body as it flashed in the sunlight, making a strike little distance away from the point where the cast landed and the fly was being wiggled temptingly; their efforts were bare of results. At the end of many weary hours, the fishermen, in much disgust, de- cided that the fish were not biting, and returned to their respective homes, undaunted and undismayed, but with not even a smell.
 some or the party attempted to account, in a way, for the barrenness of the results achieved, and it was freely suggested that the infusion of the proper quota of the ardor so necessary for successful fishing was rendered impossible owing to the dry law now in force, and that this may account in measure for the failure This was apparently not considered a good enough excuse, the tallest member of the party stating posi- lively that "Not d-d bite" could be got. He failed, however, to make his meaning clear, leaving his "sym- pathetic" hearers to entertain doubts as to whether the party were as short of eats as they surely were of drinks.

Veteran Musher Makes Discovery On Last Journey of the

Roy Lund arrived in town from Fairbanks at an early hour this morning, having made the trip, over the greater prat of the distance, on the government right of way. He brought two passengers, a small con- signment of mail and some light express matter. The passengers were Mrs. Theo. Brakke and Fred Rhind.
 Lund says that the trip was a pleasure, a splendid trail having been found nearly the entire dis tance. The right of way was es- pecially smooth, not having been cut up like the other trails, by teams and heavy sleighs. Under the in fluence of the night frost, the trail was firm and almost glare in places.

WOMEN ACCEPTED
 AS MAIL CARRIERS

Women are to be taken on as rural route mail carriers all over the country as war emergency measure, according to information given in the office of the Fourth Assistant Postmaster General James 1. Blakslee. The first examination to which women were eligible took place on April 27 in all sections where there were vacancies and where men carriers are unattain- able.
 This is the first time since 1911 that women have been eligible for such posts, except in rare cases as substitutes. Previous to that time the service was opened to them for short time, but while their work was satisfactory, climatic conditions in the Northwest were such as to make it inadvisable to use them generally, and the privilege of ex- animation was denied them.
 There are now in the rural-route service 200 women carriers, hold overs from those early examinations. According to the fourth assistant postmaster-general, who has charge of rural routes, their services have been quite satisfactory, and in open ing the field again to women his office looks for gratifying results.

Sergeant Louis Smith, who was in charge of the arrangements of the military dance, given on Saturday night for the benefit of the drill squad, reports that the expenses ex- ceeled the receipts of the dance by the sum of S15.70.
 The purpose of the dance was to provide funds with which to pay hall rent for drilling and to pay off a balance owing on the rifles supplied to drillers. And since no funds are now available, Sergeant Smith feels that it will be impossible for him to continue drilling under the cir custances.
