The exploding of one charge of six tons of dynamite, did the work they expected bringing down the face of a rock wall from which the Seward breakwater will be made. Every precaution was taken to forestall accident. There were none; neither to life nor property. They! planned to bring down so many yards of rock and did. A perfect shot. All in the day's work to them but to j the layman, a mighty fine piece of work. $ .50 3.50 .15 .15 12.00 15.00 OUTDOORS BEGINNING TO BECKON TLo Tii st warm days of spring are a vein table challenge to leave one's town and "work behind and make tracks xor the open spaces—the wilderness. There one may recline by the side of a sparkling flowing stream and spend many an hour in the open mr; dreamless nights under the shining stars, and re capture a wonderful joy in living. Have you got spring fever, too? Spring garden notes:—Gangster sprays caretaker . 1 lead- Chicago gangsters start early spring plant ing. * 1 T> t Y;Tg hadn’fc thought of that before. Capt.

Furthermore, the Nome Nugget, Ed 1 cr C. J. Lincke and the writer, are partly to blame. It e x ms to. have started with our Balto, Nenana to Nome ‘ . na epidemic stories.

If you ever can give any iniormation regarding missing ones, answer at once. Don’t it get your goat after waking up in the morning feeling like a million bucks, then let go a couple of sneezes which start the old bean aching; and then you feel like the dickens the rest of the day Isn’t it the bunk? Human nature is a contrary element. Everybody was asked to keep away from the scene of yesterday’s ’ big shot at the rock quarry. Did they obey? Not by a jugfull, everybody was out there, including the writer. Dr. Murray Butler declares that there is no great man living today. And now our State Department may have to make another apology because Butler was indis creet. “Mawson Examines Antarctic Pack.” He may have been suspicious of a crooked deal. RUSSIA IT BAY. IS HONE AGAINST THE ENTIRE WORLD MOSCOW, Mar- 10. {IP) —Sev | enteen years of civil strife and strenuous revolution, with a grue some famine and long spells of short rations, are enough to curdle the milk of human kindness in J any people. Here the progress is | intensified by a conviction of | imminent danger, of plots hatch ing and new interventions breed ing. The incessant outcry in the j Soviet press about enemies at home and abroad is not political j trickery, it is the genuine out- j cry of a country that does feel itself isolated and at bay, alone against the world.
