Knights of Columbus
WAR FUND
IVE —
March 11th To March 16th
==============^^
The Knights of Columbus have established and are establishing recrea
tion centers in the military camps in this country and France. These centers
are life-savers for the soldiers. They not only rest and restore them phys
ically, but they are a boon to them mentally. They are home to the home
sick and medicine to the worn out. The camps couldn’t get along without
them. Creed is forgotten; religious lines are wiped out in this work. Protest
ants are as welcome as Catholics. No man is asked what he believes or
whether he believes. It’s just: ‘‘What do you need?”
Every Cordovan who gives to this fund is contributing to the comfort of
the soldiers.
Don t wait to be asked to give. It is your duty to see that your dollars
get into the fund If you have given already, give again—give until it hurts.
You will never have an opportunity to put your dollars to a better use.
Approved and indorsed by President Wilson, Ex-President
Taft, Ex-President Roosevelt, Secretary of War Baker, Secre
tary of the Navy Daniels, General Pershing, Commanding Offi
cers of Every Cantonment, by the Press of the Country, by
Clergymen of Every Denomination.

Iti a letter to the Anchorage Times
• he conditions prevalent in the great!
I Kuskokwitn valley of rnterior Alaska
are interestingly described by Duke;
K. Stubbs. Mr. Stubbs is one of the
unique characters of the Interior, be
ing postmaster at Antak, United
States commissioner and ex officio
probate judge. United States mineral
surveyor, and a Volunteer attache of
several more government depart
ments. Besides all this, the versatile
| Stubbs is also an amateur physician.
| and many times has been able through
l his knowledge of medicine to allay
j suffering when regular medical skill
! was unobtainable. He is a firm be
: never in the great future of the Kus
: kokwim valley, as his letter, printed
I below, will testify:
“The Kuskokwim valley," writes Mr.!
I Stubbs, “is the best mineralized, most |
j fertile, has the best climate, is most (
accessible and least known region in
Alaska today. Game, fur-bearing ani
mals and fish are abundant, and for
many years this country has been the
trapper's paradise. Only during the
past year has development work start,
ed that will improve the valley more
than has been previously done in the
I last fifty years.
"Last year the first dredge was re
ceived. the first wireless station was
constructed and put in working order,
the first hospital was opened, the first
big strke was made, and the fishing
business on a big scale begun. This
is the first year that the reindeer in
dustry has assumed business propor
tions, and homesteaders are coming in
quite fast now. A forlorn hope has at
last sprung up that the government
j will soon recognize the fact that the
, second largest river valley must have
I a railroad, if the tremendous resources
of the country are to be developed
I “The largest placer strike was made
last year, and it is very shallow and
quite rich. A strike carrying pay was
made during the winter on Crooked
creek, three miles below Stevens
camp. A strike in the fall was made
on George river, and much coarse gold
was found, the largest nugget weigh
ing sixteen ounces. This is the largest
nugget ever found in this or any ad
joining camp. Before the finding of
this nugget New York creek had pro
duced the largest chunks of gold.
“During the winter a strike was
made on the Holitna river, which
promises to make a good machine
proposition. Two outside companies
owm good pay on Bear creek, but ow
ing to claim jumpers interfering, the
same may be idle for some time
“A1 Walsh has taken an option on
: the Parks-Fuller cinnabar property,
lying on the north bank of the Kus
kokwim, fifteen miles above George
town. There is probably no larger
: body of rich mercury-bearing ore in
the world than is found in these two
properties. A feature of the ore is
that nothing of the kind has ever
before been found. Much of the ore
carries native quick and does not re
semble anything before known. The
men w’ho made the geological survey
; declare it to be the biggest thing they
| ever saw. It is believed that a mill
j will be erected on the properties this
| season.
“A railroad is what we need to make
j this district the wonder of the world.
I Hurry it along.”

CITIZENS OF IDITJMOD "
INDIGNANT ABOUT MAIL
The Commercial Club at Idliarod re
cently framed a hot protest to the
<econd assistant postmaster general
at Washington stating that they had
been forty days without mail from the
outside, and giving as the reason for
the trouble that the present mail car
rier had been defaulting his bills for
several years and could no longer se
cure service from the various road
house keepers and consequently was
having more or less difficulty in car
rying his mail. Likewise as well as
defaulting his hills the man was slid
ing through his contract without car
carrying it out. They asked that con
ditions he remedied. The Commercial
Club signed the protest.

STARVATION FOR THOSE
WHO REFUSED TO LEAVE
The Belgian information bureau re
ports:
"When the town of Roulers was
evacuated some civilians, among them
a certain number of women, unable to
resign themselves to leaving the city
and abandoning their homes, hid them,
selves until the last train had gone.
Having noticed their presence the en
emy forbade them to leave the town
thereafter. These unfortunates are re
duced to the deepest misery, and are
likely to perish on account of their
privation. The local committee for re
lief and fod supply having left the
town it receives no more foodstuffs.
The frightful situation of this little
group, who prefer to die under the
ruins rather than abandon the town,
may he imagined.”
