Sounds Just Like Old
 Stampede -News-Miner

That renowned musher, Solomon, Albert, who covers wide leagues of territory just for the joy of it, is back here from his last exploit to the Pelly river stampede" He left early in the spring with his fine string of huskies and struck for the Pelly via Mayo on the whisper of a big placer strike somewhere in that region. He found nothing. He broke trail 25 miles above Russell creek; there was no sign of a track, no footprints leading to a new Eldora- do; the wilds were silent and un- disturbed. Solomon camped. He was used to that sort of thing and did not worry.
 On his return trip he had lots of excitement. He built raft of logs, piled his huskies and goods on board and cut loose. He follow ed the ice as it was breaking up. He got into jams, snags and sweep CTS. The Pelly was running high in flood and swift, and it was load ed for thrills. It is bad enough fol- lowing ice in boat that responds to the steersman's oar, but a raft is wilfull and does the unexpected thing without much warning. Solo, mon found he had all he could do to keep himself and his raft right side up. he relates that one night he cmaped in safe looking place on the river beach. He had a job to get the raft back into the water. He is not advising anyone to strike out for the Pelly "placers"

She Don't Sit Down So
 Much - News-Miner

A letter received from Frank Reedy this morning, says the Fair banks News-Miner of recent date, encloses one from pr. J. c. Minor, our friend in Hot Springs, Arkansas, in response to a request from Mir. Reedy that Dr. and Mrs. Minor make the trip to Fairbanks this year with the Reedy Tours, and asking for full particulars of expense. The Doctor, who is also a writer and storyteller, in his letter to Mir. Reedy illustrates his financial (alleged) condition with the following story:
 The municipal doctor called on Ant Liza the washerwoman and an- nounced compulsory vaccination. Well, man, whar's you gwine' wax mate mel" "On your arm as usual" "On maa aim! Nav sir, An has ter wuk fer ma Twin; I'se got for'r fv chilluns An has ter wuk fer' Well, then, I'll vaccinate you on your leg" "On nah laig! Good Lord, man, An has ter walk for five mile ev'y morn ing ter ma washin' Nav, suh, not on nah 1aig!" Tt makes no differ ence, Liza, in the eyes of the law where vaccinate you; where do you want to be vaccinated?" Liza scratch ed her head a moment and said: Well, An s'pects An sets down less'n An does ennything else"

A DEPLoRABLE SITUATION

A house shortage and high rent boom has visited Nome, according to a recent issue of the Nome Nugget due to the fact that the District At torney's office has taken it upon it self to rid Nome of what is known as the "old restricted district" This is not the first time that federal of ficials have fallen down in this fail city in their efforts to scatter broad cast throughout the city, adds the Nugget, the demimonde, and making conditions worse. Already can be heard the rebound of complaints com ing from the families and private homes where the children, the citi zens of tomorrow, are brought 1T an all too close contact with world ly conditions.

WILL PLACE DRY
 CREEK GOLD DREDCE
 IN WORKING ORDER
(From Nome Nugget.)


 Joe Belleview arrived yesterday from Boston where he has been most of the winter on business in connec- ton with the rebuilding of the dredge which suffered considerable damage by fire a year ago on No. 10 Dry Creek.
 MT. Belleview left Boston March 18th for Seattle, leaving the latter place the 2Sth via boat and the gov ernment railroad for Nenana, thence via dag team down the Yukon river to Nome, making the trip in the fast time of 21 days. He states that Nome was we'll advertised in the States due to the epidemic and that for over two weeks commanded front page space continuously.
 The Dry Creek Dredging Company, of which the Belleview Brothers are the leading spirit, will have their dredge all ready for operatio about the first of June as most of the ma terial is on the ground and much work has already been completed under Barney Belleview who remain ed in Nome for the winter. A new semi-Deisel engine of 80 hp. is be- ing installed which will replace the old 60 hp. engine which gave them so much trouble thru backfring, and which caused the dredge to take fire and cause so much damage.

NOME, AN AIRPORT.
(From Nome Nugget.)

One of the most important matters confronting Nome at the present is that of establishing a landing field for airplanes.
 The government is planning the establishment of air mail service, supposedly on July l. This will not be possible unless the planes have place to land. 4 good deal of work will be necessary to prepare for this, as Nome is sadly lacking when it comes to natural landing fields
 There are many sites which might be prepared, but the question in nearly all cases arises from the fact that these sites are mining locations and in the near future will be gutted by the dredges. Other sites are not handy to material for making them suitable for landing fields.
 One plan which has been men, toned seems to be favorable in most respects. This suggestion is that it might be possible to get site on one of the tailing piles at Little Creek where the dredges are thru with their work, and level a field from the tail ing material which would make an ideal foundation.
 In this way the landing stage would be raised above the normal level of the surrounding land and would make a table that in the win ter would be swept clear of drifts and which in summer would shed water.
 This field would be a little dis tant from the city but the argument in this respect is that the trails are open there every day in the year and the location is within 20 minutes run from town, even in the winter
 Nome's interest in this airplane service will go long way toward the realization of it. The govern ment does not as a rule go to a lot of expense unless some pressure is brought to bear-and now is the time that the pressure is needed and the more, the better.
 One good way to get the govern ment to moving, is to start ourselves let's do it! Make Nome an air port!

SkAGWAY MAN IN TOLLS
 ON TWO SEPARATE CHARGES

Art Wilson of Skagway probably possesses more courage than judg- ment. He was sought for violating the Alaska Bone Dry Law and when Deputy Marshal Kendall went to ar rest him he resisted and assaulted the officer with rifle. He was fin ally subdued and arraigned in the U. s. Commissioner court at Skag- way when he was bound over in the sum of $500 to await the action of the grand jury. Not having the ne cessary John Davis or friends to go on his bond, h ewas taken to Juneau where he is now gazing on the sun- shine and other allurements of the world thru iron bars.

BERRY DREDGE IS
 ON JOB IN CIRCLE

According to information received from Miller House, in the Circle dis trict, on the last mail from the in terior, the dredge owned by Clarence Berry, which has been operating in that section of Alaska for many sea sons started up for the season on June IT, with busy summer ahead of it if water conditions continue favorable. The season was cut some what short last year.
 The dredge has a capacity of 2,0OC yards daily, and is said to be work ing on some very good ground.
 James Hammel is directing oper ations, having arrived from the Out side during the early spring. He made the trip to the dredge from Fairbanks over the last snow.
