M DAVIDSON
IS RECIPIENT
OF WAR HONOR
General P. W. Davidson, who was a
member of the Alaska road commis
sion, with headquarteres at Juneau,
when the United States entered the
war, has been awarded a Distin
guished Service medal for services
rendered at Hoboken, N. J., in connec
tion with hte disembarkation of Unife
ed States troops from the war front
in France.
During the war General Davidson
served his country in preparing the
army for service in France. He has
many friends at Juneau and elsewhere
in Alaska. The Seattle Times con
tains the following concerning the
award:
"Word has been received in Seattle
that Major General Peter W. David
son has been awarded the Distin
guished Service medal for service ren
dered as commanding officer at thfe
port of debarkation at Hoboken, N. J.
“During the early period of the war
General Davidson was stationed at
Camp Lewis. Later he was assigned
as commanding officer at Camp Kear
ney, and still later was placed in
charge of work at Hoboken.
“Both General Davidson and Mrs.'
Davidson are well known in Seattle.
During the time the general was at
Camp Lewis they took active part in
the activities of the Army and Navy
Club fo Seattle.
“Before the war General Davidson
held important military posts in
Alaska, the Philippine islands and va
rious points in the United States.” *
SMALL GOLD OUTPUT
AT NOME THIS YEAR
The season that has just passed at
Nome has been cold and discourag
ing, and the gold output—just over
$1,000,000—the lowest since the dis
covery of gold on Seward peninsula.
There has been considerable trad
ing between Nome and Siberia, and
this is expected to be greater next
year. There is a good chance for the
establishment of a mail service be
tween Nome and Siberia. It has been
recommended by the United States
postal inspector.
Many Nome people are going into
the fur business. Those who have en
gaged in it this year have made money
in bunches. Joe Bernard, it is re
ported at Herschell island, has his
boat, the Teddy Bear, chuck full of
white fox skins, but he will be unable
to get out of the ice this fall.
George Goshaw, formerly deputy
marshal at Nome, and then in the
Third division,' is at Nome, and will
spend the winter there, going out over
land in time to bring supplies in on
the first boats in June.
One thing that looks good is the
York or Lost river tin property. They
have had a big crowd of men working
there all summer, and will work this
winter, and the prospects are good.
George D. Schofield is interested in it.
FORM THE
• HABIT
ATTEND CHURCH
Why? is the question asked by the
non-churchgoer. He who neglects his
church is charging his life with an
irreparable loss and is robbing his
community of a noble example, and is
acting contrary to the principles and
commands of God’s • word. The
church member who refuses to attend
church because of some selfish whim
is committing moral and spiritual sui
cide, and must answer for this crime
at the judgment bar of God, as well
as in his life. John Wanamaker an
swered this question by saying: “I
■would be very miserable without this
spiritual uplift that comes from at
tcitfling Divine worship and obeying
the Divine ordinances. It is a privi
lege to touch soldiers with earnest
Christian men who are interested in
promoting Christ’s kingdom on earth.”
Don’t be a “slacker” in God’s army.
Begin next Sunday to attend regu
larly. Helpful sermons, good music
and a cordial welcome await you at

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4 (by Associ

TERRITORY PAYS ABOUT
ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
AS BOUNTY ON WOLVES
Ti I. —
fSi»fe the appropriation for the pur
pf)i«_Was made by the legislature on
■4*e-vflrpi of April last, bounties have
fceeSWw on 66 wolf pelts at th<» office
of the territorial treasurer. The
amount of money expended for this
purpose has been $990, as a bounty of
$15 is paid on each wolf.
Since April 1, 1,200 sets of eagles’
feet have been turned in, and the
bounty of 50 cents each paid on each
set, making a total of $600 paid for
this’) purpose.
Most of the wolves on which bounty
was paid were killed in the First di
vision, although some have come from
the Interior in the vicinity of Tanana
Crossing and sections near there.
Of the 1,200 eagles killed, nearly
all were killed in the First division.
Indications are that the eagles are be
ing killed off, and are scarcer, as this
year the bounty was claimed on sev
eral thousand less than last year.
Thirty thousand soldiers- are still in
the hospitals. Don’t forget them—
join.
