"Undertaker'S Cocktails" Were Popular for a Day

"Undertakers' Cocktails may go in some places, but we doubt if they will ever take the place of dry mar tini and other time-proven standard appetizers.

The next day the Minneapolis papers contained story about thieves steal ing 40 gallons of alcohol off two dead bodies that were awaiting dis section in a local hospital and selling it to northern lake resorts. The effect has been to greatly discourage the use of alcohol in that part of the country -Stroller's Weekly.

Return from Siberia
(Nome Nugget

A. Eide and J. Brown, who signed with the Hudson's Bay Company to take charge of the company post at Anadyr, returned to Nome from St. Michael on the Sea Wolf. These two men came to St. Michael on the schooner Ruby from Siberia and then took the Sea Wolf for Nome. The Ruby will haul a dredge to the Kus- kokwin country.
 It was the intention of the Hud- sons Bay Company to discharge the kareiff Bros. who were in charge of the Anadyr station, and place Amer cans in charge, but upon arrival at Anadyr it was learned that it was unsafe to make a change at the present time due to the unsettled political situation and therefore the two men were returned to Alaska.
 The men who returned to Nome state that in their opinion it is un- safe for any foreigners to attempt a landing with the purpose of en- gazing in mining or trading unless they go in large numbers. They state that the only authority at the present time recognized is that of force. A few men have no chance; many men with the weight of num- bers, is the only thing that demands respect.
 Coal is present in the Anadyr sec tion in large quantities and can be obtained with little or no trouble. The people don't object to any one taking and using the coal, but refuse to permit the removal of gold or other things which they say belong to the people
 It is stated that coal can be ob- tained and"landed in Nome for s2O or 1925 per ton and make a good profit. If this is the case small boats should be able to make profit able trips to this country and supply the Nome market.

Bootleggers's Victim
(Ketchikan Chronicle)

No more will the residents Of Ketchikan stand cpon the street and turn to watch the military stride of Blind Ernie Hyde as he walks along the street and turns a corner or mar vel at the precision of his step de- spite his misfortune. And some dis penser of moonshine will now have the pleasure, if it be pleascre to him or her, to know he catered to the weakness of the poor blind fellow until he murdered him with vile liquor.
 In Ketchikan this is the first death of this kind. The wonder of it is that there have not been more. It is the warning, however, against the con- coctions being sold in numerous places.
