Further details of the reported strike on the Stuyahok river are contained in telegrams received by local parties within the past few days. and seem to indicate that the strike is genuine and of considerable importance. The lat est information obtained from Mar shall says parties have returned from the new diggings with the information that pay has really been found. It is also reported that Joe Darling. con- servative and experienced mining man who is well known to many of the old timers of the lower Yukon dis trict. has thought enough of the new discovery to purchase two claims on the Stuyahok for $20.oo0. The fact that Darling is an experienced miner and knows his business Is considered assurance that the strike has the ear- marks of being worth while. Some doubt appears to exist regarding whe- ther the new discovery is located in the Second or Fourth Division. The Stnyahok river on which the strike Is said to have been made. is a tributary of the Bonisilla river. which flows in- to the Yukon about twenty miles ab- owe Holy Cross and is. therefore. situ- ated close to the division line between the two divisions. Attorney Fred Harrison of this city. who is to some extent familiar with the locality. through his former residence in the Marshall section. inclines to the view that the strike Is located in the Fourth Division. altho the absence of definite information makes it somewhat difh- cult to define the actual point where the find was made.
 The Board of Directors of the Nome Chamber of Commerce met at the of- Aces of o. D. Cochran Saturday even ing and received the reports of several of the subsidiary committees of the chamber regarding matters which had been placed in their hands during earlier sessions. Among the more im- portant communications returned was that of the committee on transporta- ton. the report of which proved to

THE DEMISE OF IaKEMP

With the completion of the new
railroad to Booker, just over the line
south In Texas from LaKemp, that
little village will practically cease to
exist. Most of the residents will
move to the new town taking their
business with them and LaKemp, the
plucky little town of the South Flats.
which has held out hope all these
years since the advent of the Pump
kin Rollers" that II would some day
come into its own and develop into
q prosperous. thriving metropolis
will gradually go back to sod. While
II is with regrets that the people
of that little town will give up their
homes and business in that beautiful
and productive center yet. they are
doing the feasible thing for the new
railroad town is only few miles re-
moved from them and they could not
continue in prosperity in competition
with the railroad point. We trust
they all go over and get in on the
ground floor and reap the advant-
ages. They have waited long and
faithfully at the little South Flat
village. They are entitled to the bes,
at the new town.

J. w. FERGUSON BRINGS FINE
SAMPLES

]. w. Ferguson and family. of near
Gray, were county seat visitors and
shoppers last week. Mr.. Ferguson
brought along some fine specimens of
grain and fruit. produced on his
farm, and left at this office on dis
play. Among the lot were two twigs
of cherries literally covered with fruit
Of the very finest quality. He stated
that he had quantity of cherries
this year. abundant for the family
need for the coming year. The grain
samples were of oats, barley and
wheat and all were exceptionally
fine. The oats were the best that we
have seen. being full headed and
standing As inches high. The barley
was of two varieties, one produced
from seed home grown and the other
from seed shipped In from reputable
dealer. That from the foreign seed
appeared to be much the better yield.
fhe heads were much longer and,
while in the sample were not so large
yet was of later growth and not
so fully developed. Mr.. Ferguson
was sure that the grains would be
fully as large as the home seed sample
when matured. The home seed
specimen was fine and the grains
were well rounded out but there were
only eight rows of seed to the head
while In the foreign tested seed there
were twelve rows thus the Increased
yield from the tested seed is evident.
Samples Of wheat and rye were also
among the collection. They too were
extremely good. Mr.. Ferguson was
much elated over his crop prospects
and he has right to be for the samples
shown were certainly splendid ones.
The Herald appreciates the samples
brought us for display. We would
be glad IL others would bring us in
specimens. We will be glad to dis
play them and also give local men
tion so that others In the county and
outside may know what our farmers
are doing. Give us your reports on
livestock and poultry too as well as
on crops.

DID ANYBODY BITE

This office had the chance of its
life and the opportunity we have al
ways desired the past week No, II
wasn't proposal! But II was a visit
from one of those parasites of the
earth who infest every town attach
Ing themselves to the population like
a leech and attempt to draw out the
life-blood. which is the business of a
community. This particular specimen
was representing a mail order con-
cern and called upon us soliciting an
order. He didn't note II until we told
him that we were in the newspaper
business in the strictest sense of the
word and our business was to build
up the town and the county through
the towns by supporting the legiti-
mate business concerns of the same
who contribute to our schools,
churches, roads. in fact every public
enterprise. by taxes and otherwise.
and that we certainly had nothing to
contribute to an unknown mail order
concern who sells their goods sight
unseen. for cash in advance, and far
too often delivers inferior grades.
We asked him what kind of town
and county he thought we would have
II everybody patronized such concerns
as he was representing and surely II
we patronized them everybody else
had the same privilege. No indeed.
he didn't get an order from us and
such concern never will. There
are legitimate business houses here
with whom we do business. We buy
every dollars worth OF goods In
Beaver that we can get here or that
can be gotten for us by the dealer.
These business people are honest.
They must keep up their business in
order to afford market for the pro-
ducts of the county. What sort Of
a town would we have and what
sort Of a market for farm products II
there were no local business houses.
Would the mail order concerns; take
care Of you. Not on your life. We
have no word of approval for the
CRATER or the prOfiteer and all towns
have such among their business class
but they are easily located and can
be left alone, but we do have the
heartiest words of approval for the
honest business concern and these
are to be found in every town of the
county. Men and women in business
who will treat you right. who con-
tribute to the support OF all that Is
best for the uplift OF the county and
who are entitled to your patronage.
What do you think about IL? Did
you ever think seriously on the sub
ject? II not. think 1t. over and see
IL we are not right.
