The mail service between Nenana
and the States this summer is con
siderably more satisfactory than that
of a year ago, as a result of the action
of the postoffice department in per
mitting the shipment of Nenana mail
by way of the Fairbanks-Chitina post
road, thence to Cordova, a privilege
not enjoyed last summer. Under the
new arrangement mails are dispatched
and received both by way of the river
and the overland route, insuring a fre
quency of service for which the resi
dents of the Interior are duly appre
ciative. The recent increase in the
weight allowance on inbound trail mail
made it possible to include Nenana in
the number of districts served.
Jack Pickford, the clever young
brother of Mary Pickford, who has
forged his own way to the top of the

busy making photoplays that he never
had time for college, although he is a
graduate of a famous military acad
emy. But in many of his pictures he
has had ample opportunity to taste
the joys and trials of a student’s life.
For instance, in “The Ghost House,”
in which he is appearing at the Em
press theater tonight with Louise Huff,
he is seen as a college freshman un
dergoing the most violent forms of
initiation. Fatty Arbuckle in the two
reel scream comedy, “Good Night,
Nurse,” also will be featured. This is
an excellent program, so be sure to
take it in.

WAS EYE WITNESS OF
YOUNG ROOSEVET’S END
LOS ANGELES, July 10 (by Asso
ciated Press).—A graphic story of the
last fight of Quentin Roosevelt and
his plunge to death on the banks of
the Ourcq in France was brought to
Los Angeles by Harry Charles Weber
of Philadelphia, former machine gun
ner, who saw the entire battle. Weber,
who visited his uncle here, wrote the
account in a memorandum book on
the day of the fight. It reads:
“Someone cried ‘Look!’ and pointed
skyward. Quickly turning my eyes in
the direction indicated, I saw them
come together, a mighty crash and
some smoke. There was a moment of
suspense. Then both turned their
noses toward the earth.
“The black one sped downward like
a bullet. It was a German. The other,
silver-colored, seemed to wilt and fall.
It was American. A long, long way
and then the clouds—they could not
be seen for a few seconds. Then out
they came, the Boche far ahead. It
seemed as if the Yankee machine
would right itself. It kept turning
round and round, the tail always
pointing upward. Sometimes it dipped
until it was almost horizontal. I felt
my whole body sway with it. I knew
it was the last struggle of an intrepid
aviator, but it was all in vain. My
face grew hot and feverish, my fist
clenched, as against the golden clouds
of a beautiful sunset I saw his ma
chine crash headlong to earth for the
last time.”
The battle took place over the Ger
man lines, and it was two days before
Weber knew he had witnessed the
death of Quentin Roosevelt.
