FRDM TRAIL
I [
1 -
While Sergeant Douglas and Pri
vate McFnrlnnd were engaged in mak
ing an inspection of the telegraph
lines on the government trail, they
overtook a man with horse and sled
enroute to a little place called Ruby,
three miles south of Reaver Dam.
It was just at dusk. Douglas and
McFarland went forward to help the
man, who was having some trouble
with his outfit. A moment later the
rr fnow, with a roar, started down the
, mountain side above the trail and
instantly swept both their sleds a
hundred feet or more below the trail.
The men escaped a similar fate by
the narrowest kind of a margin.
The horses were recovered appar
ently uninjured, the men cutting the
harness to extricate the animals.
At that It was a Job requiring the
hardest kind of work and patience,
exhausting the men completely and
forcing them to take some rest before
they proceeded further. They later
got the sleds out of the slide.
This is one of the Incidents of line
* work on the Northern telegraph lines
that prove the work of the signal
corps boys is mixed with much real
danger and also that occasional op
portunities arise for helping others.
The big trail is not a garden pathway
of roses by any means.

TREATMENT OF MOOSES
CONSIDERED IMPORTANT
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
INSTERBERG, GERMANY, Feb. 17
—One of the best of the horse hospi
tals cpnnected with the German army
is that erected at this place, which has
handled nearly two thousand horses
since November and whose average
number of animals under treatment
is over 600. During the past month
84 horses were operated on for se
vere wounds and 73 of these were dis
charged as cured and returned to the
service. Reckoning the average val
ue of a horse for army purposes at
$375, these operations alone have
saved the war office authorities $27,
375. Many others were suffering
from slight wounds which rendered
them temporarily unfit for service and
- these also were returned cured to the
army, while hundreds of sick horses
have gone back to the front.

LIEPSIC, Feb. 17—The Internation
al Exposition of the book trade will j
be commemorated by a diploma sym- j
bolizing how the peaceful co-opera-1

Prof. Max Klinger, one of the best!

ing one sees the broad stairway of
the exposition flanked by pillars, with
the huge monument of the battle of
Leipslc towering up behind them. In
the foreground are two female fig

another female figure, stands some
what apart in a meditative mood. On

H group represents England, France and
B Russia, behind which are soldierB of
=j these countries with drawn swords.
1 Between the two groups is the last

CHANGES REPORTED
R N. C. COMPANY
On the street yesterday there was
a rumor afloat to the effect that Wil
liam H. Fairbanks, general manager
of the Northern Commercial company,
had resigned his position and was
about to enter business for himself
In San Francisco. It was also said
that Charles Grimm, the assitant
auditor of the company, and at least
one other official had severed their
connection with the company for rea
sons unstated.
When questioned regarding the mat
ter, George Coleman, local manager
of the company, said that he knew
nothing of any changes or contem
plated changes. Part of the rumor
was confirmed, however, as Mr. Grimm
hnd resigned his positon to go
into business for hlmRelf. Since the
first of the year he has been actively
engaged In manufacturing supplies
which are used by motion picture pro
ducers.
Since the Northern Navigation
company disposed of its fleet of boats
one auditor is able to handle the bus
iness of the mercantile establishments
of the Northern- Commercial company,
and Howard Turner Is doing the work
alone.—Fairbanks Times.

BUCKWHEAT FOR HUMANS
SMS GERMAN “PROF.”
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
BERLIN, Feb. 17—Professor Kuhl,
of Kiel, after a series of scientific ex
periments, has reached a conclusion
that will be of deep Interest to Amer
ican devotees of griddle cakes and
syrup—namely, that buckwheat can
be eaten by humans. It is a some
what curious fact that In Germany,
except in some parts of south Ger
many, this grain is exclusively used
as feed for stock. The professor
finds, however, that a mixture of 20
per cent of buckwheat flour with
wheat flour gives "an elastic, tough
dough, which raises well with yeast
and furnishes a well tasting bread."
In view of this, and also the fact
that buckwheat can be grown on land
fit for nothing else, the professor rec
ommends that It be used to eke out
the wheat supply.

WAR FURNISHES NEW
SCHEME FOR SWINDLERS
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
LONDON, Feb. 17—Scotland warns
the public against a new version of
the old Spanish prisoner swindle.
This time It is not a Spaniard who
has hidden a war chest of the Carl
ists in an inaccessible mountain and
appeals to spmeone to accept half the
contents in return for furnishing him
with bail money. In the new version
of the swindle it is a Belgian. The
Belgian, on the death of his master
in the siege of Liege, fled with 20.
000 pounds in Bank of England notes.
He is now in trouble in Spain, and
will part with half of the notes to
anyone who will help him out of the
scrape with a little ready cash.
A large number of these swindling
letters have been sent to England,
and Scotland Yard men suspect the
game is also being worked in the
United States.

GERMANS TAKING
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
BKULIN, Feb. 17—An Associated
Press correspondent who has visited
recently a dozen or more French vilas
and chateaux which now serve as staff
headquarters for various corps or di
visions of the German forces found
that reports of theft and destruction
of property in these French homes
were not true. In ail of these places,
without exception, the carved wood
work, Oriental rugs, marbles and pic
tures testifying to the wealth and taste
of the recent owners were not only
still In place, but were being cared for
ns scrupulously ns if the owners were
present. No burning cigars or cigar
ettes, carelessly laid, hnd scorched the .
polished tables or burned the cover
ings and no stain of muddy boots dis- :
•figured the nigs. So thorough is the j
attention to these details in some of 5
the headquarters, that the most par j
*
ticular housewife could have run a :
suspicious finger over any article in 5
the place without finding a speck of
dust.
The most recent visit which the cor
respondent paid to one of these villas
was to that occupied by Crown Prince
Ruppreeht, Commanded-in-chief of the
Bavarian army. Notwithstanding that
the Bavarian court is one or the most
ceremonious in Europe, the Crown .
Prince was found to be a most Demo- t
cratic individual. Inviting the corre
spondent to dine with him. He talked
English fluently, with hardly a sus
picion of a foreign accent, and he
spoke freely of the campaign and the
situation,^troud of what the Bavarians
had accomplished and what the fu
ture might bring.
Another of the guests at headquart
ers was Prof. Otto G. T. Klliani, of
New York, who, for several years, was
professor of clinicnl surgery at Colum
bia University and who has charge of
the German field hospital at Cambrai.
Dr. Kilianl recounted, to the great
amusement of the Crown Prince, the
adventure of a Bavarian soldier. Dur
ing the night the trench occupied by
this soldier was evacuated for some
reason, but he, fast asleep in one of
the bombproof dugouts, was over
looked. He awoke in the morning to
find himself alone and six Englishmen
approaching the trench. Dr. Killiani
hirnself a born Munich man, related
the soldier's account in th<> broadest
Bavarian dialect.
“I made up my mind right off that
the only thing posible was a strong 1
counter-offensive,” said th,e soldier.
He carried out this "counter-offen
sive,” to such good purpose that he
killed two of the English patrol, cap
tured two and forced the other pair to
withdraw.

tHUi THEIR BATH
AMID SHOWER BULLETS
—
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
BERLIN, Feb. 17—A German offi
cer’s letter tells how his men "jumped
for joy" at the opening of a bath
house rigged up in the basement of a
building destroyed by the artillery.
Two bath tubs found under the ruins
of another house were installed and in
addition a large swiming basin was
built, with connection to a windmill
pump about two miles distant.
“But there is one drawback to our
fine establishment,” he says, "the
shells of the enemy continually roar
and explode arond it. But we have
grown so bold that we do not let this
check our impulse to get clean; we
must have our pleasure in these tubs
even though the French shells crash
and explode around us. The estab
lishment was opened several weeks
ago, and since then it has been used
to its utmost capacity. Every man
in my company is happy on his bath
day. although he knows that death and
destruction threatens him while bath
ing.”
