 from the vicinity of Whalen north ward. and also the Alaskan coast from Cape Prince of Wales to the Port Clarence section. is covered with the snowy mantle of winter. The snow fall on the Siberian side is described as very heavy The Polar Bear ar rived at Whalen in time to feel DOT ton of q blizzard which coated the Ischooner's upper structure with eight inches of snow and forced the crew 10 resort to shovels to clear the deck
 The trip ta Whalcn was made in the interest of the karieff Brothers. the entire cargo carried from Nome being consigned to the Karieff trading sta- ton at Whalen The trip was stormy one 'NiiisS i' 'N''s southerlv gales. The schooner ar rived at Whalen in the midst Of driving snowstorm which prevented a sight of objects over three hundred feet away. On the return journey, the schooner encountered strong winds and heavy seas until after pass ing Sledge Island Some indication of the severity of the blow is disclose ed in tha statement of skipper Gud- mundsun that he saw both the Rus sian trading schooner Trader, which departed from Nome for Plover Bay night before last, and also the Nome schooner Alaska, lying in the lee of Siedge Lad to escape the gale.
 The Russian mail boat Tomsk was at Whalcn during the stay of the Polar Bear ard another Russian mail steamer, the Stavarapol, was also on the Arctic coast of Sibcria beyond East Cape.

An increasing number of the coast ing fleet are daily taking advantage of the shelter afforded by the opening of Snake river in connection with the harbor construction work. Instead of anchoring in the roadsted as usual, most of the small vessels now enter the river. mooring along the revet- ment walls below the dredge, which still blocks the upper basin. With the completion of tho dredging work the river will probably become an exceedingly lively point along the water front, as the increased depth or the channel will permit every vessel of the local fleet. including the Arctic. to find shelter in the inner basin

Attempt to Rob Store.

Tuesday night about 1890 O'Clock. as
Mr.. G. o. Gayle. jr., and Mr.. ]. c. Nor
ris were leaving the local barber shop.
il noise at the Gayle store attracted
their attention. An Investigation dis
closed the fact that the lock on the
front door had been broken and the
door stood ajar.
Mr.. Gayle went for help. leaving Mr..
Norris to guard the front door, but be-
fore there was an advance into the
store the burglars fed-without hav-
ing gathered any plumber. The back
door was found open. and that is no
dcult the way they escaped.
John Madison and Sim Smith. local
negroes well known. were arrested the
same night. on suspicion. by Deputy
Sheriff Jim Edwards and were placed
in Jail after being searched. 4 pistol
was found on John Madison, but no
other Indications of criminality.
\ steel meat stake. or pin, with
which to break the lock Oh the store
room door. had been taken from the
Adger market. near by. and this was
found in the store. An investigation
of the tracks on the market-rOom floor
seems to have developed evidence that
may lead to the prosecution Of those
being held.

with the best of reading matter from

and the makeup man is an artist In
his line"
SO, Brother Scott. the Banner about

you newspaper man. And that's what
we like about this little nOSegay you
have handed us. Had it not come
from one so well schooled in the pro-

picnic at Bellevue Academy Saturday"
And no doubt Il number of the pres
ent-day readers of the Banner were
among those who attended.
"A picnic will be given tomorrow
at the residence of Capt. ]. II. Ogilvie,
about seven miles east of Bellevue
Capt. Ogilvie died many years ago,
and left no descendants. He married
daughter Of Judge L. w. Baker, who
was Parish Judge some fifty years ago.
Nothing adds to the value Of a
farm more than good roads in the
country adjoining it. Ii during any
part of the year it is inaccessible on
account of the mud, its value is cut
down some. 1t is bad policy to fritter
away work over large district, for
very little good is accomplished by SO
doing. Make permanent roads, if for
only short distance each year."
