 Frisco Is a lively place. but q tough one. There are murders and holdups almost hourly, and there Is hardly day goes by with less than several auto accidents. saw four wrecks and four people killed in auto smashups in different parts of the city, and one evening my brother and I walked up Powell street and quite suddenly we heard shot and an- other. We turned around and right on the corner only few feet from us a crowd gathered, and I saw two bodies on the street--a man had shot woman and afterward turned the gun on himself. He died, but the woman recovered. There is lots of excitement in Frisco all the time, but in spite of everything like Frisco better than any other town I've been in.
 On the 14th of December left Frisco and arrived at Seattle, not quite broke but badly bent. I did not work in Seattle, neither in Frisco. There is nothing in work ing for wages outside, but I had to do something so I went to my old friend Murphy, special representa- tive for the Equitable Life and was under his instructions in the busi- ness for over a month. In the meantime I wrote several thousand dollars insurance. My commission was small for starter, but now have the agency for this place--in fact for the whole of Alaska-but for the present am working for Blum & Co. here at Cordova, but expect soon to devote all my time to the insurance business; there is nothing in it working for wages.
 Cordova is a more expensive place to live in than Fairbanks. Room alone is $50 per month.
 I expect to do some good business in insurance, but it takes time and experience to get familiar with the different kinds of policies, etc. l am fairly well posted in the busi- ness, enough so as to give the com pany confidence in me to act as their representative fin Cordova as the present field.
 Jack Heath is also working for Blum & Co. His station is in the warehouse for the present. All the orders are put up in the warehouse for further delivery, so the work in the store is very easy. The hardest part was to get onto the prices be- cause we split the quarter here and have plenty of nickels and dimes. Here are few of the prices: Canned fruits soc to 55c per can; vegetables 25c to 35c; sugar 12kc; rice 17hc; spuds $4.25 per sack:-- onions 5c a pound; garlic $1.0O per pound; Am. cheese 45c; Dem. Swiss 85c; brick cheese 65c; Roquefort $2.00 per pound; eggs FOG dozen; butter FOG pound; ham soc; bacon 67hc; and all other commodities in comparison. Business is good and there are only two stores in the town. There are a number of Fairbanks people here, and more will come. Cordova is going to be a good town this sum- mer. The canneries will open up soon and everything will be in full swing.

Gus Ut. evening.

The following letter from Gus Ut. berg was received in one of the re. cent mails by Carl Selberg. It con. tained such a grist of information that 'Mr. Selberg was induced to let go of it long enough for it to be set up that Gus friends in Fairbanks might know just what he has been doing:

 To tell you all my experience, good and bad, since left Hot Springs would be too much to write about. My experience from Hot Springs to Seattle l presume you are acquainted with thru John Kelly, whom l wrote to from Seattle shortly after my arrival telling of my narrow escape from taking the steamer Sophia at Skagway. of whose fate you are well acquainted.
 I stopped at the Hotel Frye in Seattle for about ten days. and while in that city met many northerners whose names would be too numerous to mention. From Seattle l went to Aberdeen, my early camping place, thence to Portland and Frisco.

ANOTHER HOME
 BEEN ALLOWED

Another homestead has been allow. ed to a resident in the vicinity of Fairbanks--another farmer has been added to the growing list. The lat est addition to the followers of the study of agriculture is Magnus Nel- son. who lives on the Fox road about three miles from town.
 The necessary papers were re. gently received in the United States land office granting him his home stead. The homestead comprises 318.06 acres and lies at that place where the road enters the hills. The homestead commands a good view of Fairbanks and will make an excellent piece of residence property as we'll as a farm.

Present Rate Low.

AS there was some discussion of the
city lighting contract during the re-
cent campaign and the question is
still one of issue, Mayor Hays gave out
q statement Saturday evening in or
der that the public might fully under
stand the situation His statement
follows:
The price of Bosses street light

while the case was being considered
Commissioner Graham's term Of office
expired. Colonel Patch. then in France,
was appointed to succeed him and has
not vet arrived in Idaho. AS soon as
he arrives the Boise case will come up
for final determination.
RATE NOW Low.
The case arises in this way: Boise
has 80 electric lights of the old type.
The city's contract expired last Sep
tcmber. We pay $50 per annum for
these lights. But on the other hand
we consume total of 100000 kilo-
watt hours of electricity in these lights
and, figuring it up, we are paying now
1.S6 cents per kilowatt hour for our
electricity. We wish to install diff
ferent type of light and to take up the |
question of the payment for the in |
stallation separately. But we do not |
wish to pay any more per kilowatt |
hour than we paid for the aid one
COST CUT IN TWO.
THE new light uses much less cleo
tricity than the old one. 1t is this
question as 10 whether we shall pay
more per kilowatt hour electricity
used for lighting than formerly that is
now pending before the public utilities
commission. In the meantime we are
paying but $4,000 per light instead of
5000 per light as we formerly paid, and
instead of $3.50 to $41.0O per light
as we would pay the company accord
