PREFERNBLT TO
jj Archdeacon Hudson Stuck, who has
returned to Fairbanks for the first time
since he made the nscent of Ml. Mc
Kinley, or Denali, ns he prefers to
call it, when seen by representatives
of the local papers, was not prone to
discuss the Mt. McKinley expedition or
his Interviews which appeared In some
of the larger papers of the East, partic
ularly the Boston Herald, in which he
Il!l said that the railroad was not wanted
—' by the majority of the people of Jn
! terior Alaska, but that wagon roads
were greatly desired. The archdea
con said that the matter had been
closed, that congress had authorized
the building of railroads, and he
thought It would do no good to open
the discussion again.
When questioned further regarding
Ing his interview in the Boston Her
ald, the archdeacon said that he de
olared that wagon roads were more
desirable for the Interior than a rail
!road, and he insists that such is the
case still. He maintains that If con
gress had apropriated $50,000,000 or
_ $.35,000,000 for the construction of
wagon roads, it would have done
; more good for the teritory than will
| the railroad, as he insists that it Is no
; trouble to get freight into the coun
I ry, but it is very difficult to distribute
: it.
, Regarding his statements on the
. Outside ns to the agricultural possi
. bilitles of the Interior, he maintains
»
. the same attitude still. indicating
■ that he had not been misquoted by the
’ Eastern papers.
| As to the probability of the govern
I ment continuing its attitude in re
| gard to the construction of the rall
road, he archdeacon said:
. “Congress has authorized the con
struction of the railroad from the coast
to the Interior, and there is little
doubt that the appropriations will be
made by congress. Once congress
authorizes any particular work, it is
not likely to refuse the appropriations
for the carrying on of the undertak
ing."
The archdeacon was questioned as
to what he might have to comment
on the statement of Edwin S. Balch
to the effect that Dr. Cook was the
first one to climb to the “Top of the
Continent,” but he declined to make
any statement. In explanation, he
said that he had not had an oppor
tunity to read Mr. Balch’s book, and
therefore is not in a position to make
any comment.
Questioned as to whether or not he
contemplated any more exploration
trips, either up Mt. McKinley or to
any other point in Alaska, Mr. Stuck
said that he would like to make the
ascent of the other peaks of Alaska’s
highest mountain, but at the present
time he had no intention of attempt
ing it.

I After having spent a month invest!-;
gating conditions in the Tolovana dis
trict, Harry Stacer returned to Fair
banks, and reports that, so far as he
could learn, nothing better than pros ;
pects have been found anywhere in
the whole camp. Several claimed to
have pay, but when pressed to prove it,
were unable to do so.
^ Upon reaching the Tolovana early
§ in January, Stacer and Dave Calla

if found not even a prospect. Just be
g fore leaving, the laymen on 2 above,

be learned from them
“1 am of the opinion," said Stacer,
"and 1 heard many other oldtimers

\
would justify the staking of ore

EXPEIMENTIN6 WINTER
AUTOS CHITINA TRAIL
The Sheldon auto got away for the
Rapids last night in charge of Robert
Sheldon. He was acompanled by
Fred Robinson who has been working
with him making the little Ford car
ready for the winter trail. The boys
made a start nt 6:30 o’clock without
any passengers and expect to drive
through to the Rapids, where they will
plcp up Hal Bailey and some freight.
Maurice Ashton took his car from
Chitina to Paxson’s and from there
uses a double ender and a horse
through to the Rapids.
Both Ashton’s and Sheldon’s car
have had considerable of their axles
cut off, narowlng the tread to about
the width of a double ender, so as to
follow the packed trail. It is an ex
periment that Sheldon is trying in an
effort to use autos over the snow and
which he hopes to use successfully.—

last week frozen solid.
John was 24 years of age, and had

flock of ptarmigan and attempted to
drag his 16-gauge shotgun from the
sled, muzzle towards him, when the
gun was discharged and the charge
entered his body under the right arm,
making a fatal wound. He turned
his team toward Iditarod, but had
traveled only about 100 yards when
he expired.
Commissioner Albrecht, with a cor

(Hy Associated Press Correspondence)
LONDON, Peb. 8—The number of
Kngllsh soldiers and officers who have
suffered nervous breakdown more or
less approaching Insanity as a result
of the strain of war, has shown such
Increase that some of the leading medl
cnl journals are pleading for special
consideration and treatment for this
class.
‘‘Some cases" says the lancet, “are
certainly hopeless, hut there are
others—and happily these are in pre
ponderating numbers, where there are
good grounds for believing that they
may again become useful citizens."
The effects of warfare on the ner
vous system are more marked In the
case of officers than in the case of en
listed men. the latter In many cases
of "trench insanity" recovering “tone"
after a continous sleep o' from twenty
four to forty-eight hours. Officers
similarly afflicted are generally sent
to special hospitals for a rest of a
week or ten days, but If they fail to
show satisfactory progress after that
time they are invalided home, on the
ground that it is improbable that they
could be again employed on active
service.
1 he powerful effect which modern
warfare has on the mind is shown,"
writes a surgeon attached to a British
ambulance, "by the dreams and night
mares whicli disturb soldiers’ sleep
in dangerous positions. Nervous sub
jects react in a most striking way to
the shock of explosions in their im
mediate vicinity. Some develop a
tendency, to sleep-walking and are
found wandering about the premises
with faces expressing the utmost ter
ror and anxiety. In the soldiers'
dreams, of losing contact with his fel
lows seems to be felt with extreme
frequency, and the horror of isolation
constitutes the commonest nightmare
of men In the fighting line.
"They dream that they are wander
ing through endless trenches as com
plicated as an artificial maze, or are
picking their way through lonesome
forests. The slightest noise during
sleep calls up visions of exploding
shells or the tramp of armed men
throwing them into a frenzy of shout
ing terror, to the Indignation of their
resting fellows.
"Another common night terror is the
dream of a suden call to arms and the
inability to find some indispensible
article of attire or armanent, a con
ception productive of intense mental
agony. Live shells naturally occupy
a large share of the soldiers' attention
in dreams, and an exasperating night
mare Is the supposed discovery in
one’s bed of a shell ready and willing
to burst, associated with the usual
nightmare incapacity to execute the
necessary movements to get rid of it.
Several men have had dreams cen
tering around the inability to with
draw the bayonet from an enemy’s
body when urgently required for self
defense.
"Yet these nightmare ridden men
are as brave as the rest in face of act
ual danger.'*
