The winter trail through the Broad
Pass is extremely dangerous as the
result of recent sonw storms and it is
a matter of sheer luck that travelers
have not lost their way, says Robert
Warren, who has just arrived in An
chorage over the trail from Nenana.
Mr. Warren is an oldtimer in Alas
ka. He came north in 1898 and is well
known in mining circles throughout
the interior.
“The trail through the Broad Pass,"
continued Mr. Warren, “runs over a
number of lakes a few miles from Jack
River on the northern side of the
pass, and while the trail is marked
with tripods the marks are at the ends
of the lakes, during a storm or a fog,
are invisible to travelers. Recent
storms have obliterated the trail and
it is only by the aid of the tripods that
the traveler may proceed. In several
cases the tripods are a mile apart. Fast
travel is thus rendered impossible,
particularly during stormy or fogy
weather.”
Mr. Warren will leave for Seward
und the outside and after a brief visit
with friends and relatives in Seattle,
he will offer his services to the gov
ernment in the hope of getting to the
war zone in the immediate future.
Mr. Warren was in the military serv
ice previous to coming to Alaska. He
has taken part in two Indian rebel
lions, acting as an Indian scout in
both.
He is a brother of Joel Warren the
present chief of police In Seattle.
This is the first trip to the states
Mr. Warren has made in eleven years.

In the “Official Bulletin” published
under the direction of the government
at Washington, appears the following
under the caption of “How the Native
Children of Alaska Are Doing Their
Bit to Win the War.”
Alaskan Natives are doing their bit
to win the war as is evidenced by the
following list of suggestions to school
teachers and others prepared by Supt.
Hawkesworth, of the southeastern dis
trict school service, and transmitted
to Collector or Statistics W. Carson
Ryan, bureau of education, depart
ment of the interior:
Teach knitting: If none of the staff
knows how, get one of the Native wo
men to teach the lady teacher first.
Have every girl from the third grade
up learn. ; #
Teach first aid—It is all given in
your Boy Scout manual.
Organize a movement to promote a
working unit in your town for teach
ing the polic-y of the United States in
“making the world safe for dem
ocracy. ’V This war is for the benefit
J .— ..1
of Alaskans as well as civilized peo
ple everywhere.
Organize a woman’s club for week
ly meetings on Red Cross lines. Use
the organization for personal and
civic improvement. Correspond with
a chartered Red Cross.
Encourage investments in co-opera
tive stores, Liberty Bonds, or bank.
The Native people of Sitka subscribed
over $1,200 In Liberty bonds.
Encourage co-operation in civic
work. Get your town to stand as a
unit. Have a definite amount of
work for the common good started
and finished each year.
Encourage play. Native children do
not get enough vigorous sports. I
met a girl yesterday who can chin
herself fourteen times. Can your girl
do it twice,'your boys five times?
Use Thompson’s Essentials. Mas
ter the 45 combinations. Dramatize
your stories. Practice "talking” rath
er than "reading” your lessons in
class. Start an intensive study ow
Clark’s Graded Writing Lessons.
Preserve every piece of good work
by your pupils for the local and dis
trict exhibit in the spring. Bring
your school and town into close rela
tionship.
Start an anti-tuberculosis campaign.
If you do not have a copy, write me
for “Tuberculosis, a Disease of the
Masses and How to Combat It.”

GIDEON BIBLES ARE
PLACED IN HOTELS
The Christian Commercial Travelers
Association of America, better known
as “The Gideons,” through their rep
resentative, Rev. A. G. Shriver, yester
day placed seventy-five Bibles in foui
of our leading hotels. This organiza
tion had its inception over twent)
years ago, when two Christian travel
ing men met in a small hotel in Wis
consin. From this meeting sprang the
great organization whose membershij
is numbered by the thousands. Th<
organization gets its name from ai
illustrious character mentioned ii
Judges, 7th chapter. He was a gen
eral and a God-fearing man.
The object of the Gideons is to rec
ognize the Christian traveling men o
the world with the cordial fellowship
to work for the betterment of the Iivei
of business men, and to encourage om
another in the Master’s service.
Over 200,000 Bibles have been placec
In the hotels in the States and ove
a thousand a month are being placed
The hotels in the coast towns of Alas
ka are supplied with the Book o
Books. It is the only book in all liter
ature that cheers and strengthens mar
or tells him of God’s plan of salvation
Most of the money was raised ir
Cordova for the purchasing of these
Bibles. A Gideon service will be held
at Eagfle hall Sunday morning, Feb
ruary 24, at 11 o’clock.
INTERIOR FLICEH (IMP
IMl IfflSE OUTPUT
Harry Watson, an oldtlmer of the
north, formerly employed by the North
ern Commercial Company at Dikeman
and other places, arrived In Fairbanks
the other day from Marshall City, ac
cording to the Fairbanks News-Miner.
Regarding work and conditions at
Marshall, Watson says that approxi
mately $450,000 was taken out last
summer and he looks to see a larger
amount produced In 1918. Next sum
mer Blanker & Edgar will have a big »
scraping plant working on Wilson
creek. George Pilcher will have a hy
draulicking plant on Elephant creek
It is expected that these two plants
will add considerably to the output.
At the present time there are only
about 250 people at Marshall City, but
Mr. Watson expects that there will be
many more there next summer, as a
number of the old-timers went out on
the last boats, expecting to return in
the spring.
, While coming up the river Mr. Wat
son found considerable interest in the
reports from the Good News bay coun
try, but few people were stampeding.
