DIAMOND FROM
THE SKY FILLS
NEAR DAWSON
At 8:55, Feb. 27, a dazzling
flash, of light was visible at Daw
son in the northern sky, says the
Dawson News. It >as as bright
as though an immense arc light
had been turned on for a few sec
onds. The light was so intense that
distant hills and trees stood out as
clear cut as In a perfect phbtograph.
The d.splay lasted for possibly
twenty seconds, and, according to
telegraph, reports! recelvedl today,
was risible from Fairbanks .Alaska,
to Carmacks, Yukon Territory. a
distance lin an air line of approxi
mately 600 miles.
It is generally conceded that the
lighr was caused by an immenso
me'eor falling from the heavens and
coming Into contact with the earth's
envelope of air, the friction there
by causing the flame. A number
who saw the phenomenon said that
It left a long rod trail, and that it
seemed to burst as it fell below
the horizon, and that just at that
second a tremendous flood of light
spread m every direction. The light
was so Dright many behind curtains
in homes noticed the flare or light,
not unlike that of a bright sun com
ing out suddenly.

A late issue of the Petersburg
Weekly Report says "The town of
Petersburg: don't owe a darned cent
to anybody." All obligations of
the to<vn have recently been met, in
cluding notes held by the Bank of
Petersburg amounting inj principal
and interest to $5,026.66, and there
rema.r.s in the treasury about $200
In addition to this the city has a
fuel-oil supply tank containing $900
worth of oil, and various licenses
and taxes are due which will great
ly enhance the city treasury.
When Charles Ross returned to
his ranch on Hinchinbrool^ island
the other day after having spent a
month in Cordova, he found Thom
as King, an Alaska pioneer, who
had been left in charge of the
place, was dead, says the Cordova
Times. Aa the fire was out and the
body frozen stiff it is beliered King
died several days previously. He
wag there alone. Deputy Marshal
Fursman. of Cordova, went to the
island and brought the remains to
Cordova. An inquest was held and
the verdict was that King came to
hie death from natural causes.
Rules should be adopted to gov
ern do; races here in the future
so as to protect the animals from
mistreatment, declares L.. O. Elban
na, of Andhorage, la a written com
munication to the Daily Times. Mr.
Elf>ann» criticises the way one of
the drivers handled his dogs in the
race last Sunday.
"I think," writes Mr. Elbanna, I
"£»^t there ought to bo some regular
tion9 governing dog r&0"*s in order
to avoid a repetition of the finish of
the race Sunday. I was on Fourth
avenue watching the finish and I
think one of the drivers should he
disqualified from entering other rac
es. His dogs were 'all In' before he
finished. He surely knew it. Still
'ie kept nagging the poor brutes on
for the sake of a box of cigars or
a t>ox of candy. If he did not know
the dogs were 'all iu' he certainly
had no business driving tliem..

vigorous "speed ball" of some na
ture. for at a well-attended meet

noise—and declared that Saturday
