APan Of Stockings

BUDDY SMITH had three ideas

Agnes, had already hung up a much

in which she informed all who might
be concerned that this one was hers.
But Agnes, like the monkey that used
a rabbit for a muff and kept himself
warm by hugging it, was a little sell

LOCAL BOY \ GENIUS.

s. Devlet. master operator at the Nome wireless station. is conducting a Radio School for boys of the Nome High School and reports that his students are making remarkable progress in their work. In report ing the headway and enthusiasm MT. Devtet states that Emerson Fromm one of the students of the High School radio class has broken the record for acquiring the first class radio speed in the shortest possible time. In two months he has reached the speed of 20 words per minute sending and receiving. The U s. army allows three months for grownups to attain a speed of fifteen words after which they are placed as student operators. It seems certain that Emerson will master the 90 word expert speed be- fore the boats get in. His natural talent in telegraphy is indicative of successful radio career. His en- thusiasm is such that he is already classed as a Radio Bug" Nome should feel proud of this boy"

NEW POWER PLANT ON DRY GREEK HILL
 NOW COMPLETED

Last Sunday the third and last power unit. being installed at the Hammon Consolidated Gold Field Power Plant on Dry Creek hill by the Tuba Mfg. Co.,. was given its trial run and proved most satisfac- tory.
 With installation of these units completed nothing now remains buy phasing out the plant and syncsrrOr nizing the generators. This will be done at a later date as the available water supply is not sufficient for cooling the engines when the entire battery is run. The runs SO far made have merely been engine test and after phasing and synchronizing is accomplished weeks run of the entire plant will be made. A large rheostat will likely be placed on Dry Creek and a full load thrown irto the system to successfully try out the entire plant.
 Great credit is due Supt. P. E. Morse and his assistants is complet- ing installation of this important plant in such record time. The crew consisting of five men began initial installation the latter part of Nov ember and first part of December and on April 1st completed their major installation work. The re- maining adjustment is merely detail work attending all mechanical pro- iects and will be completed in few hours. The crew under Engineer Hofer have been transferred to Lit tie Greek where they will immed>- ately begin to wire the two big dred ges and install the electric machin- cry This work will require about five weeks time to complete and then all will be ready for digging. Mir. Norrick will remain at the Dry Creek plant until the old crew re- turns for the final run.
 The Dry Creek squad have demon strated their ability and capacity for hard and quick work and their re- moval to Little Creek will no doubt inject a new spirit of competition into the Little Creek camp.

BORDEN RACE INDEFINITELY
 POSTPONED AGAIN

The outstanding condition govern ing the Borden Marathon Race is that the tral be good and fast. This means that weather conditions be as near ideal as possible, so that the contending teams will make fast run. At present trail condf- tions are such that a team may be- come lost in fog or soft snow storm The mild weather of the last week has raised havoc with the trail. soft snow has covered the old beaten runway to such an extent. that record time is next to impossible.
 The officers of the Kennel Club have decided that the race will not be run until conditions justify. therefore. the date as set for Sunday April sth has been postponed until Tuesday April 10th. Entries close and drawing for place will be held in the M. & M. bank at 5 p. m.
 If a period of bright days and cold nights overtakes us before the real breakup comes this race will be held this spring, otherwise, rather than contend with heavy trail and ad- verse running conditions. the race will be postponed until next year.
 A letter has been received by the Kennel Club from Mir. Borden stat ing that the Annual Borden Cup for this Marathon race was forwarded by Express on Feb. 20th. which means that it will not arrive until opening of navigation.

SWISS OFFICER
HELD FOR DEATH
lJNsIppEN GUEST AT LAUSANNE
FARLEY SHOT BY SWISS
CAPTAIN
SOVIET ENVOY SLAIN
ASSASSIN SHOOTS TWO OTHER
RUSSIANS IN LAU-
SANNE

Lausanne-M vorovsky. an unbid-
den guest from soviet Russia III the
Lausanne conference lies dead, siam
by n Swiss, formerly an officer IN the
Russian service, and two of his lieuten-
ants are seriously wounded, each with
two bullets In his body.
one of the wounded is Hermann
Ahrens, a BolshevIst from Berlin, who
was the Russian press agent ut both
the first and second Lausanne confer
ences. The other is J. Didwilkowskl,
Vorovsky's young Russian secretary.
The assassin, whose name Is
Maurice Alexander Conrad, and
whose home was in the Can
ton of Grlsons, was seized i'm
medlately after he shot the three Rus
slams while they were dining at the
Hotel Cecil, headquarters of the Rus-
sian delegation.
Most of the guests in the dining
room had finished dinner when the as
sassin drew his revolver and, advanc-
Ing quickly. fired on the Russians. The
first bullet struck NorOysky behind
the ear. He fell across the table and
uttered no word. Probably he died
mediately. He was struck by other
bullets also.
Ahrens, who is always armed, drew
his weapon after being shot twice, but
before he could use it waiter seized
his arm apparently fearing for the
safety of the guests now crowding the
dOorwuyS.
Conrudo told the police that his un-
Gle and brother had been tortured and
murdered by the Bosheviki during the
terror in Russia His act in shooting
the Russians, he declared, was one OF
vengeance.
Panic pervaded the hotel. 1t was
half an hour before the police ar.
rived. Meanwhile, the wounded men
had been carried to their rooms in an
unconscious condition, but Ahrens
soon reguined his senses long enough
to say:
Switzerland will pay dearly fol
this"
By some, the murder of Vorovsky IL
regarded ms tragic sequel to his at'
lacks of the Swiss government for re
fusing wise for Russian courier tt
Berlin. The recently organized Fas
cisti took up the matter and warnet
Norovsky and his colleagues to leav'
Lausanne. Vorovsky ignored tn
| warning.
The leaders of the Fascist, how
ever, disclaimed responsibility for tn
| crime.
They asserted the only plan the
had in view was to kidnnp Vorovsk
and escort him over the Italian frOr
tier. The assassin. Conrad, told tn
police that he was born in Petrogra
of Swiss parentage. He said h
served as n captain in the Russia
army during the world war. He is n
