TO
 NEW DICCINCS
 NOW GOING ON

For the past few days a number of men have been quietly assembling small outfits and departing from town, presumably for the purpose of taking a small prospecting trip. Late developments show that a small stampede is on to the upper stretches of the Salcha river, the objective point being the locality where Frank Lawson and others have been doing prospect work fo1 the past few months. What reports have been received concerning the extent of the reputed new discovery cannot be learned as all of the "wised" ones are reticent about their information.
 It has been known for some time that a strike would be likely in that vicinity but it's early development was not predicted.
 The scene of the new strike ap. parently lies at the head of Shaw creek and continues on over to the south fork of the Salcha river. A number of other small creeks are in this neighborhood and it may be possible that pay will be found on all of them. The previous reports of the new district were encouraging and it is due to the efforts of Law son and Herschberger that the new discovery has teen made.
 Two routes of access are avail able to the new strike; one by the way of Shaw creek, above Richard son. This route presents the most feasible way as no high divides are to be crossed in reaching the ground.
 The other way is via the Salcha river. Many state that this route is impracticable as the river trail is not of the best and the divides are high. From Richardson the route would lie up Shaw creek and may be made easily by dog team.
 Nearly every means of conveyance, auto, double.enders and dog teams are being used by the stampeders in going to the scene of the new strike, those taking autos having decid- ed advantage as they can reach the mouth of Shaw creek in a days travel. The result of the find is arousing great interest among those who are unable to go and the lucky ones will be much envied.
 Health Officer Sutherland admon ishes those who take in the stam pede to be prepared to spend the required ten days in quarantine or their return to Fairbanks-at their own expense, in the event that the quarantine is still in force at that time. The advice is given so that there may be no hardship worked on the returning men or that they might expect their maintenance to be at government expense.

GERMAN PAPERS

 AS UNCRATEFUL


 AMSTERDAM.

Sulzer now leading by ........ 2S
 In the 1916 election the three Bris. tol bay precincts cast total of 50 votes. There is no r"ason to believe that these precincts. if elections were held, will cast more than 50 votes this year. The chances are that the vote will decrease rather than in crease. Pre-election estimates based upon reports from residents of BIis- tol bay were to the effect that Sul. ger would carry the Bristol bay pre- cincts in the 1918 election. IL is easy to believe that other residents re. ported that Wickersham would carry all three precincts but it seems hard ly probable that Wickersham would have carried them by a majority ol 2S. or. to win, by maJo.lty Cf 29, o.er Sulzer.

LATE RETURNS SHOW SULZER
 IN THE LEAD

The latest reports from the coast of the 1918 delegate election make but little change in the results here. tofore published. The bes, ,nrormr- tion Is that the official returns from the First and Second divisions are all in and that Sulzer leads by 6S in the First division while Wicker, sham has a lead of 191 in the Sec, ond division.
 Former reports have given Sulzel a lead in the First division of 75 but 1t is believed that the official returns received by the clerk ol court at Juneau disclose errors in computation or mistakes in unol. ficial reports so that Sulzel's leau is cut down from 75 to 69.
 Sulzer's lead in the Fourth di.i- sion is 2. with all the official returna in except IditarOd. For the pul. pose of determining Sulzers lead in the Fourth division it is assulneu that the report from Iditarod giving Wickersham a majority there over Su'zcr If 13 is correct. Why the O., liciaJ r.turns for Iditarod do not al, rive is unknown. All the returns from nearby precincts weIe received long ago.
 A compilation of the official re. turns received show Sulzer leading by 15 in this division, but no req son can be given for not consider. ing the unofficial returns from ldita- rod to be correct.
 The official returns from the Third division are all in with the excep- tion of the three Bristol bay pre- ciacts-Choggiung, Naknek and Nush- agak. There is considerable specu- lation about these precincts and it is more than an even break that no election was held in any of these three places this year. Sulzer's lead, previously reported as 146 in the Third division, is increased to 14o by the returns from Chignik, Kenai and Nililchik. The present standing of Sulzer and Wickersham is as follows:

THE FARMERS BANQUET
By Mrs, E. B. Collins

laugnters We were proud, indeed. to be there. The evening was one of bright star
 light, With just enough frost in the air, To make going out pleasure, And we felt we'd enjoy being there. The hall was prettily decorated, The atmosphere spicy and sweet, And the tables draped in white linen Were daintily set, and so neat. They served us first with a salad, Twas plum full of things that grow; Combination" 1 think they call. it: Being teacher, 1 really don't know. We had chicken, home grown. fried
 and roasted, Roast moose, roast caribou and roast
 pig
 And twas all so tasty and tempt.
 ing The guests came near dancing a jig. We had coffee made of rye. just
 think of it, And, oh my, but it tasted good! Talk about Alaska's resources She's there, when 1t comes to food. We sweetened our coffee with beet
 sugar, The beets came from Rickerts good
 ground. Now isn't that perfectly wonderful Twas good sugar-you can look the
 world round. The parsnips, the turnips, the car. As well as the celery, green onions
 and lettuce, No better can ever be found. We had raspberry wine and blue
 berry To help digest this good food In this dry town something wet (tho
 camouflage) Certainly tickled our palates and was We'll. when we had eaten, and then
 some, The farmers were not satisfied, They wanted some speakers to
 speechify So from the guests they tried To find a man who could talk On the Farm Loan Act and its work, So they chose our good Judge for this
 speech And when it comes to a talk he's
 no shirk MT. Heilig had to tell about the
 farmers, Their problems, past, present and fu-
 ture. Now he owns right smart of
 farm himself So he told them about ground and
 its culture. MT. Clegg talked about sugar beets And twas put up to us so clear That we all said next summer Would see sugar beets planted here. He talked of tannery for Alaska And now, I'll tell you some news In two years time we'll be making Our own boys and girls boots and
 shoes. Agriculture fell to MT. Snodgrass, Twas the first time I'd heard him
 ''rant" And say, what he don't known about
 farming Wouldn't cover a postage stamp. Mir. Lumpkin put up a fine talk He gave us courage to go ahead with
 our work. We must all get behind the farmer And help him, not be shirk. Mr. Brown was a visitor from Nenana And in his wise, kind way Showed us Alaska's great future, will come with our railway. MT. Collins summed up our resources To keep together, to work together.
 to expand, In short to be one great community And reach out with a helping hand.
