LOT PAYMENTS
ARE EXTENDED
AT ANCHORAGE
ANCHORAGE, Dec. 13.—Install
i ment payments due In 1918 to the
federal government on the purchase
| price of lots in Anchorage, Mata
nuska, Wasilla and Nenana, towns
along the line of the government rail
road. have been extended one year j
by order of President Wilson. The
executive order was issued in response
to a petition drafted by the Anchor
age Chamber of Commerce and in
j dorsed by William C. Edes, chairman
I of the Alaskan engineering commls
! sion. and Andrew t^hristensen. man
ager of the land and industrial de
partment of the commission.
TJte towns of Anchorage, Matn-j
nuska. Wasilla and Nenana were laid i
•out and the lots sold at public auc
tion by the land and industrial de
j partment. Anchorage was the first
! of the towns to hold a lot sale. Her
auction took place in July. 1915. Pur
chasers in all the towns are obligated ,
to pay for their lots in five annual j
Installments.
J The Anchorage Chamber of Com-'
merce, in petitioning that the install
j ment due in 1918 be extended for one!
year, represented that the war. with ‘
its consequence of drawing so many
men from the Northland, had greatly
i depressed business, and that many
of the lot owners in the so-called gov- ;
ernment towns were unable to meet j
i the payments assumed by them at the
J time of the purchase of their prop-!
j ertv.
* The President's order relates only
! to payments on the purchase price of ^
* ; lots. In no wise does it affect town j
! assessments for sanitation, fire pro j
tection or maintenance of streets and
sidewalks. These local assessments
1 must he paid ns usual

SICK SOLDIERS
I’AltlS. Dec. 15.—Fifty three dol
lars, collected by a small group of
engineers employed by a copper com
pany at Valparaiso, Chile, for wound
ed American boys, came all the way j
to headquarters of the Y. M ('. A. j
In I’aris the other day, and this is j
what happened to it. K. (’. Carter, j
chief of the Y. M. ('. A. overseas ac- I
tlvities, gave the money to his secre-;
tcry, telling her to spend every cent
of it on boys in a certain hospital I
who needed some extra comforts. j
The secretary and two other girls,
all in the uniform of the Y. M. C. A.,
collected a lot of the latest news
papers and magazines from home. ‘
bought up cigarettes, chewing gum,
chocolate, jam. and a basketful of!
fresh white grapes, and then, laden |
away beyond the limit of their ancient
hack, drove to the big base hospital
on the world-famous race track at j
Auteuil. just outside I’aris. once the !
home of sport and now the home of!
p thousand or more wounded Anteri-i
can soldiers.
Cigarettes were given to every man j
in four wards, also a box of matches. '
Then the three girls went into the,
gas ward, where boys are not allowed
tobacco in any form until the gas is
entirely out of their systems Each
of these boys was given chewing gum, |
and some of them were so glad to go:
it that they actually cried. Others
were not so far down with the rav
ages of the attack, and sang out glad
"hurrays.” but there wasn't a man
in that ward whose day was not made
easier by that package of gum.
The grapes were taken into the
medical ward, where fever patients
with parched throats were relieved by'
the cooling fruit The jam was given
to various nurses, for there was none1
too much of it. and not te ally enough
for ail the boss The nurses take "
these little extras and hide them tin- -
tier lock and hey in their medicine
i bests. And now anil then it is given if
to bed-ridden patients whose appe-1
tiles, as well as their tired bodies. : :
need nursing.
