LETTER NAILED IN ARCTIC
 REACHTS ITS DESTINATION

Four years ago Raold Amundsen. the noted Arctic and Antarctic ex- piOrer. mailed letter in the Far North to friend in Minneapolis, Minn. After various adventures the
 communication reached it's destina- tion.a few days ago, bearing on it's face an epic of the postal service at the worlds edge. Eskimo car riers and dog teams which started with the letter across the Siberian wilderness had succumbed to cold and starvation and their mail pouch laid for nearly four years preserved by ice and snow, until last Summer, when a party of Russians discovered it. They sent the letter to Amund- sens brother in Norway by whom it was sent to it's destination

TRAVELLERS GET LOST
 CROSSING SOLOMON RIVER.

Information reaching Nome this
 eek relates story of a team of l l"rses in charge of Joe Herbert and
 belonging to the Wild Goose Mining and Trading Company al Council,
 ard two other men being maroored and lost in a fog bank while endeav- C-ing to cross on the ferry at Sof-
 omon. on the night cf June 18th.
 After crossing the Bonanza Ferry they put the team in Joe Feber's barn then called up Pete Curran at the Solomon Hotel telling him to have supper for three men as they would be over right away. In about an hour MT. Currrn called up Joe Feldner by phone asking if they had sts rted. as he had been waiting with small boat on Solomon River to take them across to the roadhouse. Mir Curran was informed that the three men had left over an hour ago and that they must be lost. Cur ran then fired several shots and kept firing at intervals. After an other hour or so the three men turn ed up at Felders, the place they started from two hours before.
 Young Pete Curran was sent over to Felders to guide them across. but no amount of coaxing could get Joe Herbert from the barn at Bon anZa. Our informant states that Joe states he crossed the river at least three times and he was not go- ing to take any more chances to- night It was afterwards discover ed that they had been milling around in shallow slough and thought they were crossing the Sol omon river.

LOCAL NEWS
MISSION HOLDS OPEN HOUSE

| The Lavinna Wallace Young
 Mission for Eskimos held open house Thursday from to p. m. at which time the people of Nome were privileged to witness an ex- h bition of hand work accomplished by the children of the Mission. which would have done credit to an exhibition of needle craft by much more experienced hands. A number of beautiful pieces of tatt- ing, crocheting and embroidery beautifully made embroidered bed room set. luncheon sets, doilies and many other dainty exhibits of nee de craft. An exhibit of afghans. artistically displayed in boxes which were neatly and cleverly made of wall paper by the boys. created considerable interest among the visitors. An added interest was given this exhibit by the fact that number of little girls were busily engaged in tying an afghan while the exhibition was in pro- gress. A display of mitten cords drawing kits. kodak books and oth- CT articles, both novel and useful ill character, were among the clev- CT creations made by the boys. An exhibit of baking, bread Drowned to just the proper shade and pie like mother used to make. looked ap- petizing enough to grace the table of the most particular diner.
 Dainty refreshments were served to the guests, number of little girls in pretty white frocks acting the part of most charming little hostesses.
 Considerable credit must be ac- corded the teachers of the Mission, whose untirng efforts were every where in evidence in the excellent character of the work on display. 1 Their reward is not in material pro- fit but in the knowledge of accom- plishment of purpose and the full fllment of a deed well done.
 The exhibit will be sent to the | National meeting of the Woman's | Home Missionary Society to be held in Chicago this Fall

NOME GIRL OUTRAGED

It was in the Summer of 1922 when Fairbanks rode into Nome on a White Horse. Here he met Ruby, a beautiful daughter of Nome. A whirlwind courtship followed. He had Skagway about him and was willing to Teller anything. Juneau he won her. They were married by St. Michael at Holy Cross. NOW is it learned that the wedding was a fake, just Bluff. He has cast her from his home clad only in an East Nome and the Marshall is hot on his trail. It is rumored that the villain Fairbanks is seeking Anchorage in Dime Creek. Alaska law must act with Hot Springs and play the Ram part. Circle the Territory if neces- sary with an Eagle boat but put that fiend where he will never leave an- other beautiful daughter of the of the Northland Flat.
 June lJSt
 Fairbanks, the villain who cast Ruby. the beautiful daughter of Nome. from their home at Golovin, following the discovery that their marriage was a Bluff. has been cap tured. Happy in his escape. he was drifting down Gold Stream when his boat upset on the Klondike. which is Beaver Dam about Forty Mile below Dawson. He was seen by Solomon the Dike man, and St. Michael who was on Russian Mis- sion. The Marshal was sent for i'm mediately. We believe the Inde- pendent Squawk voices the senti- p!ent of the entire Northland in de- manding that this fiend be brought to justice. He should be chained to an Anvil and unmercifully flogged with an I-dit-a-rod. That is the only course that will insure the Safety of Alaskan womanhood. If the Council does nothing but Wran- we'll or places fine of a Dime on this Snake, the Alaskans must act with our only lawful weapon. our Domes, and demand the resignation of the entire Council. Ruby was brought to Nome by Candle light and her Wales could be heard for Miles. The sympathy of the entire nation goes out to this girl.
