 The salmon catch has been scanty ,long the rivers generally, and the natives are facing a shortage of food Tor themselves and their faithful ser. vants, the dogs.

 The Bishop remarked:
 By this time the government rail 'oad between Fairbanks and Nenana must have been completed. The big steel bridge over the Tanana will be he last work to be done. But Super ntendent Brown of the Engineering Commission, at the Nenana end of construction, will lay rails over the ce as soon as the river is sufficiently rozen, and the Fairbanksans arc ooking forward with joy and expecta ion to the arrival of the first train
