Fred returned to Caspar and later wired for the money, but through some misunderstanding or something else, the money didn't arrive in time inquired at the banks and they inform ed him at different times that there was no money there for him. After the time to take up the option expired, and Fred had lost the money he put up to bind the deal, he left here for q small town up the road. Nine days after telegram came to Judge Murane from the man Fred was to receive the money from, saying the bank here mo- tified him that the money was not called for, and what would they do with it. Murane went to the bank and asked if there was any money there !, they said no, Murane showed the telegram and they said, well yes that money is at another bank The money was sent back and Fred lost a chance to make a fortune, for at this time the same~restaurant is doing over $500 worth of business a day, and you can imagine what it will be when the rush is on.

before the Skinner and Eddy concern launched a 12,000 ton vessel and the Seattle Construction Co.,, launched a torpedo-boat destroyer, and a few weeks prior to that they launched two $500 ton ships. When you look at the Victoria, a ship of $500 tons you can realize how big those boats are. A few days before left Seattle, 8 man returned from Washington D. C., with a $24,O00,OO0 contract for ships in his pocket, and the Seattle papers claimed there would be 10000 more people in Seattle within the next 60 or go days, to work in the shipyards.

He made $54.O0 in one straight shift, helping I met Gordon Shay, he told me his son Claud is married and his wife and two children are well. Just before I left Seattle I received a letter from Guy Mish, he told me he had married a lady named Mrs Sharpet of Portland, Oregon. Guy and his wife are resid- ing in Frisco.
 Billy Canaughton is also in Frisco, he could ship as second engineer if he so desired. A few days after we reached Seattle, Mrs Fornier arrived from Anchorage and shortly afterward left for Oakland Cal.
 I met Morte Atkinson just before I left, that boy is sure on the road to laying hens, and was gathering II
 cases of eggs per day. At that time
 he was getting 49 cents per dozen for them. Five of Mortes hens returned with the Blue ribbon from the poultry
 show. These same five hens had laid 1,166 eggs the previous year, or an average of 235 and one fifth each. He

I saw Judge Mura-c, Arthur Jett, Casey, (Mrs. Casey's husband) Eddie Stevens and wife, Attorney John Rustgard's daughter, Al. Murphy, Billy Draper, Jack Flynn, Peters and many Nomeites too numerous to mention. Monte Blair working on a drill in the Big Muddy Camp, IS miles from here.

 From a business point of view the town looks gcod to me Most of the business hor-9es seem to be doing a fairly good bu2'ness. It is almost impossible to buy or rent a place suitable for q store. This is my sixth day here and so far l have not been able to rent an office anywhere, not even dark room, and this is holi- day time too, many have gone for a brief visit to their homes from here.
 In addition to oil this is a Great Cattle and Sheep country. A couple of days ago I met a fellow who said he was butchering for the oil-men, he said a yearling steer brought $S5, while a four year old steer brought $200. This butcher cuts his beef into nothing smaller than quarters. The sheep-herders ale selling wool at 60 cents a pound. That looks as though there is money in the stock business. Most everybody here predicts a rush this way in the spring.
