Roy Wells. automobile and airplane mechanic. has constructed unique motor sled with which he expects to carry on passenger and freight transportation business between Nome and the outlying sections dur ing the winter months. The sled is driven by means Of an air propeller operated by high power auto en- zine and is capable of making q speed of approximately twenty five miles per hour. according to Wells. hi tMl tests made during the past week disclosed that the machine worked perfectly, although the icy conditions lately prevalent made speeding rather risky and no attempt was made to ascertain what the machine can do in the line of speed.
 The sled is about 10 feet in length and weighs about 300 pounds. The propellor is located behind. while the

OVERLAND MAIL COMING
 VIA \. K. R..TANA<A

Contrary to recently published statement reprinted from the Alaska Dispatch, mails for Interior Alaska Alaska and Seward Peninsula are
 being brought to the Yukon via the government railroad, instead of over Rainy Pass and the upper Kusko- kwim trail. The Dispatch story is apparently entirely in error in so far as this district is concerned. as Post master J. Hegness has learned from the mail authorities at Panama that the Nome mails are scheduled to come by the same route as last wins ter-over the railroad and down the Yukon.
 Questioned regarding the proba ble time of arrival of the first outside. mail over the winter trail. MT. Heg-, ness informed the Nugget that the first dispatch will probably not arrive until three or four days before Xmas as ne has been informed by Panama, that the first overland dispatch for this secton will leave that point about November 30. As about twenty two days are required to cover the dis tance from Panama to Nome, the dis patch will probably not reach here before December 21 or later
 As this date is several weeks later than the time of arrival of the first mail last winter. November 26th, the prospect for improved mail service does not appear to be as bright as recent departmental promise suggest ed. Alaska was to have a service comparable with the states. accord ing to these. but the Panama state- ment indicates that it will be about the same old story of fifty or siXt,3 day service despite the fact that the mails are routed over the railroad from the coast.

HAVE
 UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE NEAR TELLER

Sam Torkelson and Commissioner William Marx of the Port Clarence district, encountered what is termed one, if not the worst, of all thei1t winter mushing experiences whi.e travelling from Point Spencer tr Tel Ter on November 1. according to the Pioneer Scout. Te'ler'a lively lit. :, news journal. Of which Waiter J. Marx. the commissioners young Son. Is proprietor and editor.
 According to the juvenile newspa- per, Commissioner Mara and rorkel- son made the trip to Point Spencer with the latter's dog team in search of dog feed. The storm which pro- vided the unpleasant and dangerous experience developed on the morning of November 1 and became steadily worse as the day progressed under the impulse of a southern gale. With the approach of evening the storm became so bad that the dogs refused to face it and the two mushers were forced to take turns at leading the team. It finally became so dark and the storm ragged so fiercely. that the mushers decided to stop for the night. and camp. The Pioneer Scout con- tinues the story as follows:
 About 12 o'clock at night they woke up and found themselves in water. the southeriy wind having raised the water so they had to get out of their sleeping bags, which by this time were water soaked, as well as all the clothes they had, and move to higher ground, where they had ta crawl back into their bags as they were the only shelter they had. Both said that if it had been little colder they would have beer frozen to death, as there Was no chance to get awayi from 1t. Next morning about eleven the storm let up enough so they could get to cabin on Gold Standard creek. about two .miles from where they camped. HeA they found some wood to start fire and dry their. clothes. MT.

 In this connection it may be well to state that Mr Wells wishes to cal attention to the danger of getting too close the machine when in motion or when the propellor is running. as a blow from the propeller blades will mean death or serious injury to any one coming into contact with them Owing to tie extreme speed at which it runs, the Eropellor is practically invisible and this fact makes the dan ger less apparent than it really is Pedestrains will do well to give the uonoW III ueqM eu!uoeW oql ol ssoI5 ton, as sudden slip to one side in passing may bring them into contact with the deadly unseen blades.

Congregational Church all day Fri
day, December 2, under the auspic-
es of the Western Washington Sun

pie from the Lynden district are

been time when the work of Re

asking for better trained workers.
This meeting will afford the means
whereby these officers and teachers
may secure the needed training.
