It is estimated that there are 20,000

.Seattle and unsold.
A general breakup is expected at
any time on the Nenana river. In
many places long stretches of open
water may be seen as far up river
as the 43-mile bridge.
F. X. Grant, who has been in the
newspaper game in Alaska for many
years, is now on his way from Anchor
age to Ruby, where he may decide to
resurect the suspended Ruby Record.
Five hundred and forty feet of the
government railroad track at Mile 83
on the Seward division were covered
by rock as the result of the shooting
of twenty-three gopher holes. The
material will be used for riprap.
Several members of the Nenana
rock were moved by the blast of pov
der at 5:03 p. m. April 8 in the coyot
holes at Bird, on Turnagain Arm, ai
cording to reports made to Williai
Gerig, engineer in charge of the A)
chorage division of the governmei
railroad. This rock will be used fc
riprapping the railroad grade to pr<
tect it from erosion by tides an
waves on Turnagain Arm.
One day recently the Fairbani
siren blew to give warning of a fii
in the city. One of the citizens wh
answered the call left some parafl
wax on his stove while he went i
the fire. When he returned his hou£
was completely gutted by the flamt
which had been caused by the ove
heated wax. The original fire alari
was due to an overheated flue thi
did no damage.
Fred Mayer recently won the Joli
Borden cup race for the third succe
sive time overt he Nome marathc
N course. His time for the event wi
one hour, fifty minutes and twent
one and one-half seconds. Leonai
Seppala was not among the contef
ants, not arriving in time from tl
states. He will be allowed to ra<
against Mayer’s time if he desires
do so upon his arrival.
Charles W. Thrift, former co
ductor on Alaskan Engineering coi
mission trains, and a well known sov
.TiZzU
dough, arrived in Nenana from a
seven-months’ sojourn in the states.
He says he is glad to be back in the
North again, and he, like the many
others that have gone outside and
returned, says that, in view of the
conditions prevailing in the states at
the present time, Alaska is, incom
parably a much better place to be in
than any part of the states he has
visited.
As a result of the lay-off in the her
ring industry ther are a lot of people
in Seldovia and the town is very good.
There is a rumor there, however, that
the cannery situated at that point will
not be in operation this season, which
will be quite a serious blow to the
town, as this institution hires a great
many of the natives during the oper
ating season.
Members of the Thirty-first En
gineers’ Regiment which contains
many former employes of the Alaskan
Engineering Commision, are expected
to leave France about July 1, accord
ing to a letter received by C. Verne
Marshall, of the executive office force
of the commission, from Colonel Fred
erick Mears, former government rail
road commissioner with headquarters
in Anchorage. The'Thirty-first is at
Saumur. Colonel Mears is stationed at
Tours.
While Tanana has the honor to be
the first Tanana vallaye chapter to
finish its refugee garment allotment,
Livengood was not far behind. Ne
nana also finished the work in record
time. Tanana was ready with twenty
nine morning blouses for women,
matinees, as they are officialy de
scribed, when the hurry-up call for
these garments were received. These
jackets follow the style that has been
’ worn by the French peasant women
for centuries.
A summary of the number of new
citizens added to the nation's roster
during the year 1918 shows that an
even forty persons took out their
naturalization papers during the year
at Fairbanks. This is not a total of
the number of persons who applied
1 for admission as citizens of the
United States, which is considerably
larger, but those who successfully
■ passed the require examinations for
1 admission in the Fourth division. The
admissions were made from the
Iditarod, Ruby and Fairbanks.
Sam Ivey and Norman Russell, two
i of the most enthusiastic Boy Scouts
r of Nenana, received letters from
, James E. West, chief scout executive
t of the Boy Scouts of America, cover
3 ing the transmission, on behalf of the
f National War Savings comittee, and
, the Boy Scouts of America of an
achievement button, and conferring
on each of them the title of Ace
Scout, sending each also a medal, and
1 as a further reward, palms were
' awarded in accordance with their ag
1 grcssiveness during the war.

- Ed Jesson gives the information that
3 he is about to embark in another line
f of endeavor on tne outsiae. 11, is ni=
i. intention to embark in the motor and
traction business in Stockton, Cali
f fornia. With him are three young
’■ men from Chicago. The former Ester
8 miner states that of all the cities on
the Pacific coast the one in which he
11 has located looks the best of all for
l" his line of business. He will devote
* himself exclusively to the production
r of motors and tractor machines and
expects to do a good business. In all
a probability he will not return to the
north.

8 ing and hospitable treatment th<
Y. United States troops received on theli
j way through the city duchy of Lux

Road Commissioner Bobby Sheldon
recently had quite an experience on
the government trail and its chuck
loles. He was speeding up his car ^
to show the Brower stage drive just
vhat speed is when his car started to
dew after bouncing out of a chuck
lole, and within a few seconds Bob

match in the muddy road, the car
turning over no less than three times,
securing the first an only fall, Bob
being underneath. When the Brower
stage finally came along the passen
gers righted things and gave Bob a
;ow to Fairbanks as he was minus one
wheel. Bob was not hurt by the mixup
for within ten minutes after he ar
rived he was busy plucking “ka

UPON WRITERS
FROM AMERICA
PARIS, March 17 Correspondence of ■
Associated Press).—Newspaper corre
spondents accredited to the peace con
ference are more popular than beau
tiful millionaire debutantes in their
first season.
Queens, counts, princes, lords, ladies,
ambassadors, minsters, premiers,
presidents, would-be presidents, peace
delegates and plain citizens who are
unique in being mere messieurs
shower the correspondents with invi
tations to teas, tiffins, dinners and oc
casionally to audiences which have no
social disguise.
American correspondents are in spe
cial demand. Everybody wants Amer
ica’s ear. Three social secre
taries and a squad of motor dispatch
ers would be required to avoid social
errors and land a correspondent
promptly at all the functions to which
he is invited. And he would have no
time for anything so prosaic as the
plenary sessions of the peace confer
ence.
Everything from Belshazzar to the
Bolsheviki is discussed at these social
functions. Correspondents are whisked
from New Guinea to Nova Zembla
without warning. Ptolemy and Pom
pey are resurrected and discussed at
such length that one might suspect
they narrowly missed being selected
as delegates to the Paris conference.
Ancient Greece and Rome no longer
seem ancient. Philip of Macedon sud
denly becomes modern. Persian poets
sing of their country’s proper boun
daries with all the charm of Omar
Khayyam. The Old Testament is in
troduced as a modern bit of literature
designed to establish certain terri
torial claims.
Countries and peoples are discov
ered at these conferences which school
geographers apparently hadn't heard
of; and even the geographical'special
ists employed by the various missions
to the Paris conference are mystified.
It’s a rare occasion when a delega
tion descends to a period as modern as
that of Charlemagne or Pepin the
Great in making claims for the right
of self-determination.
Sanskrit and Arabic are revived
glibly in an effort to establish the
consanguinity of certain peoples. An
cient philosophers are quoted in their
original tongues. Anglo-Saons are re
minded of the perfect civilization
which existed in the Orient five thou
sand years before the Christian era.
Names which the “raw civilization” of
Western Europe never heard of are
rolled off glibly—names whiah the
Americans trying to make the world
safe for democracy, and that speedily,
don’t want to hear.
Such claims as that of Belgium for
a readjustment of her relations with
Holland come as a real relief to dazed
newspaper men and weary delegates.
That controversy only dates back to
1831, to the scrap of paper which Ger
many probably wouldn’t tear up so
ruthlessly if she could live the last
five years over again.
Discussions of the Near Eastern
questions are much the same, whether
they be In the drawing room of the
prince of Hedjaz or the meetings of
> the big five at the Qual d’Orsay. They
' are reminiscent of weary class room
■ days with Homer, Herodotus and Vir
gil. Efforts to interest busy men in
antiquity seem futile. Delegates doze
1 through the eposltion of ancient his
- tory and correspondents long for brief
' statements throwing light upon the
- recent history and aspirations of the
’ various peoples who have lived in such
1 discord for centuries along the shoref
, of the Mediterranean.
