GOVT. RAILWAY HAS
ITS “CHECHACO” LIMITED
Every large railroad in the United
States has its special trains, and all
of them are named. For instance t*’1'
"Rock Island railroad has its Golden
Slate Limited, and other roads have
trains with similar high sounding
names.
But in very few • instances has any
railroad more than one tfain par
ticularly designated. This, however,
is not true concerning the Alaska
government railroad, according to re
ports received here from Anchorage,
the Anchorageites having decided for
themselves that one train running
each way every day shall have its
own name. Therefore the inbound
train is called “the Cheechaco limit
ed” and the outbound train “The Sour
dough Express.”

MING DEAL IS
A deal of much interest in mining
circles has been consummated in
Sditarod, by which John Beaton and
Harry Donnelley purchased the inter
est of R. S. McMillan in the Black
creek dredge and mining ground of
Riley and McMillah. The terms of
the transfer were not made public,
says the Iditarod Pioneer.
It is understood that the prime
purpose of Donnelley and Beaton in
making the purchase was to secure
the dredge for the working of Slate
creek, control of most of the ground
on which stream is held by Mr. Don
nelley and his associates. But there
is considerable ground on Black creek
Included in the transfer, which will
be worked before the machine is re
moved.
It is probable that this will not
be worked until next season.
The Black creek deal has started
various rumors as to further pros
pective deals, no confirmation of
which could be obtained, however.
Among the most interesting was one
which credited the Yukon Gold com
pany with making overtures for the
lower end of Otter creek.
The fact that the ground had been
prospected by the Yukon Gold com
pany some years ago and turned
down as not sufficiently inviting did
not tend to squelch the rumors, which
have been most persistent.
Another rumor connected the name
of a well known operator with a
dredging venture on Willow creek, in
the Iditarod district, but this also
lacked confirmation. Willow creek
[ ha^ long been thought by mining men
1 to he an ideal dredge proposition.
Lieut. E. Reno, attached to the
French aviation division, is credited
with bringing down three German air
planes somewhere within the firing
lines. The photograph was made at
an Atlantic seaport on his arrival.

Advice to a Young Man.
Give up money, give up fame, give
np science, give up the earth Itself and
all It contains, rather than do an Im
moral act. And never suppose that
In any possible situation, or under any
circumstances, It Is best for you to
do a dishonorable thing, however
slightly so it may gppear to you.
Whenever you are to do u thing, though
It can never be known but to your
self, ask yourself how you would act
were all the world looking at you, and
act accordingly. Encourage all your
virtuous dispositions, and exercise
them whenever an opportunity arises;
being assured that they will gain
strength by exercise, as a limb of the
body does, and that exercise will make
them habitual.—Thomas Jefferson.
The Juneau Elks recently held a
banquet after initiation and a busi
ness session. The banquet was out of
the ordinary in that the committee
conformed to Hoover’s food conser
vation rules as nearly as possible.
