EXTRA RUN FOR SENDING
 MESSAGF;S-FILE YOUR
 MESSAGES EARLY

Due to a thoughtless attitude on the part of the public the members of the Signal Corps have been fore ed to work Tong over time. It has become the custom to wait until the last minute of the day before filing messages and as the operators must remain on duty until all Messages are sent an unnecessary hardship has been imposed. To overcome this last min ute congestion special run ts now provided for. Each day at 200 P. M. "a special run will be- gin, and all night or day messages filed before that time will receive immediate attention.
 No one in Nome wants the boys to be- imposed upon and when the people realize the meaning of last minute filing there is no doubt but that they will file earlier and give the operators chance to finish their work in time.
 The new 200 P. M. run became effective Thursday, May 10th.

BONANZA ROADHOUSE BURNS

Wedn esday morning, about eley- en o'clock, the people at Solomon saw smoke rising from the Bonanza Road House, conducted by Mrs. w. J. Rowe. In a few minutes flames were seen bursting thru the roof. MT. Shaughnessy and other Solomon ties rushed across the snow to lend whatever assistance they could. The Bonanza Roadhouse is over a mile from Solomon and before the fire fighters reached the scene the flames had gained too much headway. and in a short time the Roadhouse and adjoining warehouse were both burned Ito the ground. The big barn, close by. was untouched by the flames. Nothing except few per sonal belongings were saved from the burned buildings.
 In a telephone message to Nome, Mrs Rowe stated that she was alone ir the building at the time of the fire and had some man been present to assist her when the fire broke out, the buildings could have been saved.
 A small stove was located up- stairs and had become filled with rubbish, thrown into it from time to time. Being used but little the pipes had become lined with creo- sote and when Mrs. Rowe lighted the fire in the stove the creosote ig- rited and set fire to the roof around the, stack. Mrs. Rowe climbed the roof and poured water on the flames and then returned to the ground for more water, but by the time she again reached the fire 1t had gotten beyond control.
 Fred Cook, teamster for the Casa dapaga dredge. had left the road house about an hour before. leaving Mns. Rowe alone in the building. The people of Solomon did all ir lther power to e1tinguish the fire but were unable to accomplish mucf Mrs. Rowe found shelter in thu Shaughnessy Roadhouse at Solomon and N expected to come to Nome ttoday.

THE POISON TONGUE

My neighbor heard some gossip rare
so he passed it along to me,
And we mulled it Ger with eager
tongues, as we laughed in fool
ish glee.
I never stopped to investigate, nor
ask if the tale were true,
But whispered it low to friend of
mine, and so the story grew.
From mouth to mouth the scandal
spread, and each in the slime
rejoiced,
And never a heartless one of us an
atom of pity voiced.
And never one of us gave heed to
to our victims anguished cry,
For we'd have known, had we cared
to learn. our tale was a ruth
less lie.
Now the law DEGREES that a man must
die if human life he take.
But what of the souls that are SLAM
der-slain, and what of the hearts
that break?
For deeds like our this sign should
be to the ends of the earth far
flung:
Here lies a murdered Character
foully killed by the Poison
