him by Geo. Hager, 1t was a school of dentistry and the clinic was to practice on him. They would do the work for nothing and charge him for the materials only. Ole came back to be treated by Seattle dentists in 8 hurry and he'll kill George when he gets back to Nome. I met Doc Mustard, with G. P. Cog gin, just before Mustard left for Chicago for assignment. He was all dolled up like a major general but it was only captain'su at that. Honest to God I never saw such a change. He looked like Gen. eral Pershing so perfect was the military air and as we spoke, the sojers passed saluting him and the way he responded showed me that he must have been practicing it for some time. He "done" tlike an expert. John Johnson the Iron Man, had quite a>i escapade. You know the ruction they raised over the Russian boat Shilka. She used to be a patrol boat off Siberia and Johnson knew the Captain and the crew from East Cape. When he tried to get to talk to them he was stopped and searched as an I. W. w. and they thought they had made discovery w>en they found him wearing a button of the Pioneers of Alaska.-Some inner circle of the mysterious system. They found nothing and when they discovered the meaning of the button they let him go. John told me about it himself.
 Ben Nygren bought a dandy fish ing boat. He is going to take it up with him at the opening of nav igation. The Bender Bros, leaves for Good News Bay in March and is now getting oVerhauled at the King and Wing yards for the trip.

ITEMS FROM JOHN M'GIvNEY

Report has it here that because of the high cost of supplies the Pioneer Mining Co.,, may not operate except on a very small scale next summer. doubt the report myself. I see Phil Murphy here frequently. l don't know whether he is doing any thing or not. Walter Langnan is staying at Shaughnessy's ranch in Kitsap County. He tells me a great many Nomeites are at Bremerton. Billy M'Curdy is working nights at Skinner and Eddy's. Charlie LeClerq is night boss at Skinner and Eddy's. Stevenson who used to be partner with Jack Young is time-keeper at the Seattle Construction Co. Frank Petrie told me he was going to Casper. Jack Young is there. Met Charlie Shultz who used to be a partner of Pat the Dane. Charlie is married and has a family. He is not bit changed since the old days, he lives in Yakima. Labor is greatly over-stocked here. Don't believe any moonshine about shortage Thousands out of work and still they crack up prosperity, which is bunk. Met Happy (pay- strak Gus) Peterson, and partner of Peter K, the other day. He is working in the woods and was talk ing in the town when I met him.
 Give my regards to the members of Local 240, and other friends in Nome.

 Adolp (Dutch) Klemmensen who, although born in Denmark, was brought up in Germany, has been denied access to the shipyards or ships, and as he IS a sailor he has a hard time trying to find work. He told me that he is not even per mitted to go near the docks.
 Louis Hansen who brought the Schooner Eagle to Ketchikan is now in Seattle and will return to Nome in the spring. Monte Blair has gone to Casper, Wyoming. There is quite 8 boom in Casper. Many former Nomietes went there. Tom Nestor invested quite a bit there, and John was boosting it to beat the band. Fred Daniels is in the restaurant business there and it is stated that he paid thirty thousand for his joint. Divide that by ten and the chances are that you will then be high.

BREAK GROUND FOR
RETREAT FOR SICK
Governor and Mayor to Speak at
Ceremonies Which VIII Mark Re-
ginning OF Work on New
Building.

Speaking by Governor Wcstmore-
land Davis and Mayor George Ainslie
will mark the ceremonies incident
to the breaking OF the ground for the
new Retreat for the Sick hospital. at
Grove avenue and Mulberry street,
Thursday afternoon at 8 o'clock.
The Retreat is the oldest, unde-
nominational. hospital in the South
and was established in 1871 by Mrs.
A. X. Jenkins in building at 1928
East Marshall street, which was loan
ed her by the State Medical college.
From 1877 to 1888 the hospital re-
manned in this building and during
that time took in all patients regard
less of denomination or race. <
In 1888 the Retreat moved 10 its
present location on Twelfth street.
between Broad and Marshall street.
This building formerly was the Art
academy and was called the mansion.
In 1892 the hospital acquired the
property at the corner of Twelfth and
Marshall streets for it's nurses home.
Since its organization the Retreat
has progressed by leaps and bounds
and 1t became necessary to have addi-
tional room in order that the work
might be carried on. II was decided
TO build and a campaign to raise funds
with which to erect the building was
held in the spring of 1917.
The site on which the new hospital
will be erected is one OF the most
desirable in the city being located in
the for western section OF the city and
covering half of city block. The
new structure will cost s25o,o0o and
will be one of the most modern hospi-
tails in the South. The nurses home
will be located in a building which
was standing on The property at the
time of It's purchase by the Retreat.
This building faced Grove avenue,
but In the past few weeks has been
moved around and now fronts on
Mulberry street.
Miss Adelaide Gibson Howe, great
nephew of Mrs. jenkins, the founder
OF the Retreat. will break the ground
for the new hospital.
Mrs. John r. Lightfoot is chairma an
of the building committee and Miss
May Norwood. ii pres 6ent of the board
Of managers Mrs. r, 3. kerrodie ID
