HOPE’S ONLY HOPE
W AS E. M’NEMEE
Elmer MeNemee Is the hope of the
conscriptive draft in the village of
Hope. Alaska. Mr. MeNemee is not
only the hope of the Hope draft board
but be is the entire and sole citizen of
Hope subject to the conscriptive draft
law. As long as he remained in Hope
the exemption board at that place had
a subject upon whom to deliberate
and cogitate, but now that he is in
Anchorage the board over there* is
without material upon which to work.
Mr MeNemee is an employe of the
Alaskan engineering commission on
Turnagain arm. but make his home
at Home, where he is interested in
several mining claims. When the ex
emption board, which was appointed
for Hope, began its sessions, it was
discovered that Mr. MeNemee was
the only person in the vicinity eligible
to the draft law.

REGULAR TRAINS
I
The gap between the ends of steel
on the Turnagain Arm division of the
government railroad will be closed,
and passenger and freight trains will
be operated between Anchorage and
Seward early this summer, according
to William Gerig, engineer in charge
of the Anchorage division, who re
cently returned from Washington,
D. C.
Regular Train Service
“A regular train schedule will be
maintained between Anchorage and
Seward beginning in July,” said Mr.
Gerig. “Work on the Anchorage har
bor will be commenced in the spring
, as soon as weather conditions permit.
The big dredge, which was assembled
here last fall, will be used first to re
move earth. The present plans for
anchorage harbor’s improvement
make provisions for the handling of
all traffic during the summer without
delay and it is expected that incoming
and outgoing freight will be moved
without any congestion.
“The Alaskan engineering commis
sion will continue the prosecution of
the construction of the governpfetit
| railroad north from Anchorage.” con
j tinue Mr. Gerig, "and the original
plans for the work of construction will
I be carried out.
i
May Depend on Labor
“Much of the work proposed by the
Alaska engineering commission will
depend in a large measure on the
ability of the commission to obtain
sufficient labor for the various depart
ments.”
Mr. Gerig has spent the past four
months in Washington where his time
was principally taken up with mat
ters connected with the Alaskan en
gineering commission.
William 0. Kdes, chairman of the
Alaskan engineering commission, is
now in Washington. He will return to
Anchorage about June.

! FACILITIES FOR ATHLETICS
1 AT AMERICAN LAKE CAMP
CAMP LEWIS. Tacoma, March 15.
—Every man in the division lias been
required by Captain Cook, camp ath
letic director, to fill out a blank giving
his personal record in twenty-one dif
ferent sports. It is believed that by
this method the athletic talent of every
soldier will be brought out.
Completion of the Butte building,
donated by A. J. Davis of Butte, Mont.,
in the near future i^ expected to
bring an immense impetus to sports.
There will be five cross courts for
basketball, each 35 by 60 feet, and
five games can be played simultane
ously. There also will be two largo
courts, 50 by 90 feet, suitable for ten
nis.
The building will have a locker room’
10 by 100 feet and shower baths mak
ing it probably the greatest building of
its kind.
in the summer time swimming is en
joyed in American lake, near camp.
Captain Cook said at om? time last fall
•he saw 5,000 soldiers In the water at
one time.
Volley ball and indoor baseball are
played in the Y. M. C. A. buildings.
The Knights of Columbus have basket
ball courts in each of their three build,
ings on which the divisional and other
teams practice for their big games
Many of the officers have taken up
trap shooting. There Is bowling for
■ i.i.i ii ■■ ij I.
the men at Tacoma ana Dupont and T
the Country Club and public golf links |
offer opportunities for the outdoor |
sportsman. There is hardly a healthy
sport which is not presented in campj
and the men all like it, according to j
Captain Cook.

SAN FRANCI8CO, March 15.—Ac- ,
cording to Joseph Waddell, secretary
of the California Fair and Racing cir
cuit, the season of 1918 bids fair tp
be the most successful in the history
of pacing and trotting in the state. ]
Mr. Waddell states that 1917 furnished
the best sport for horsemen up to that
time. He bases his optimism for the '
coming season on the fact that at the *
present time there is more interest '
and enthusiasm being shown and ar
rangements have progressed to a point
far in advance of what it was at this j
time last year. It already is assured j
that there will be more purses offered
than last year.
One of the features of last year
which pleased horseowners was the
special train used to transport horses
from one meet to another. From 75 to
100 horses were transported in this
manner without a hitch and in the
best possible condition, everything
possible being done for the care and
comfort of the animals.
Of the cities included in last sea
son's circuit, Petaluma, Dixon, Bakers
field and Santa Maria are omitted.
These have been replaced by Eureka,
Stockton. Oakland and Ventura. It is
not unlikely that there may be one or
more changes before the program fin
ally is made up.
According to Mr. Waddell more
horses now are in training than ever
before and the majority of them are
further advanced than they have been
at this time in the past. A number
of mid-season figures are said to have
been clocked in the tryouts.
War has no effect on the circuit
situation for the reason that this sport
is considered one of the greatest stim
ulants to the breeding of horses and
with the present demand for animals
every encouragement is being given
this line of endeavor.

BUYING PRESENTS
News from Fairbanks is to the ef
fect that Bobbie Sheldon, the popular
stage driver, is spending much money
these days on wedding presents. He -
is examining festoons of pearls, dia- t
mond brooches, silver sets and all ar
ticles dear to the heart of.the prosper-*
five bride. For himself? ,Oh, no; he!
is acting as Cupid’s agent for a man
along the trail who is too busy U> go
to town and buy his own presents. But
it will give Robert experience, against
the time—but that will be another
story.
