i The Times man, a few days ago. had a surprise in store" for him, as the fortune-tellers say. He had, for some weeks previous been digesting lot of second class mail, ditto little first class, mostly of August and September vintage, and had arrived at the conclusion that, as unto all things, the end had finally passed.
 Following arrival of the mail via Iditarod, last week, The Times re ceived several letters and, at the mo- ment convenient, began perusal of the same.
 Four letters, bearing August and September dates, were devoured, and they all seemed to read all right, al though couple of them sounded a ! little off. The fifth one, on being opened, disclosed check, due many. many months ago. We took look st the date on the letter head, ditto en-, pelope--August T, 1927.
 A glance at the other letters dis clsedt the following dates:
 San Francisco, Sept. 3, 1927.
 Seattle, August II, 19.7.
 Kelso, Wash, Angus l5, 1927.
 Los Angeles, Sept. 13, 1927.
 Washington, D. G., Aug. 2, 1927.
 Shiyering timbers. Can you beat it! Just think of it---sixteen months in making srheir way to Tal tna!
 And one of them had ! check in it, What possible use can dodgasted newspaper man have for check!

fMcGrath Notes.

U. s. Commissioner w. T. Wander pool returned to- McGrath last Mon day from the East Fork Roadhouse, to which place he vent for the pur- pose of making an investigation as to the cause of the death of Robert R. Jones, whose body had been found on the trail about. mile from the road house. Also present at the inquest were Dick McArthur, Harry Lohr. Clint Winan, Lars Nelson, Ralph Du- lac, Frank Larson, and one or two others.
 An examination of the body re- vealed an injury or injuries located at the lower left side of the stomach. Appearances indicated that these bruises were probably caused by ac- cidental impact with the handlebars of the sled. There were no other in- juries noted. The coroner's jury re- turned a verdict in accordance with the facts disclosed.
 Following the verdict the body of MT. Jones was buried alongside that of his former partner, Carl Forsberg, who passed away about two years ago, and whose body was inferred near the site of the East Fork Road house.
