For the purpose of aiding en
listed men, men about to be en
listed and families and dependants
of men in the national service to
obtain legal advice and counsel free,
the Denver Bar Association has
voted to maintain headquarters at
the county courthouse where con
sultation on legal questions will be
given applicants.
Applicants will be heard and re
ferred to members of the associa
tion who will undertake counsel
without charge.
It has been discovered that a
great many men entering the army
who have never before felt the need
of securing legal advice are anxious
to have their affairs arranged ac
cording to legal processes. A num
ber of these are not in a position
to employ lawyers. It is for these
men particularly that the Denver
lawyers have established the law
headquarters.

In anticipation that the Red Cross
will need large sums of money for
the wounded by next year, the
Western Stock Show has deter
mined to give the society one calf
out of each herd, on a basis of every
500 cattle owned in a given com
munity.
The calves will each be branded
C. R. C. (Colorado Red Cross 1 ana
will be a feature of the show to be
held here next January. After the
exhibit they will be sold for the
benefit of the society.
The scheme has the approval of
cattlemen.
In addition to the calf program
officers of the show association
have inaugurated a feeding plan for
fattening cattle which will conform
to war economics being practiced
In other provisional schedules
throughout the nation. Judging
will be upon best results obtained
from feeding on a war basis.
Japanese residents of the Island
of Hawaii who were formerly in the
Japanese army have organized for
patriotic work for the United States
during the war. The organization
is known as the American-Japancse
• ...
Soldiers Protective Union.
A declaration of purposes recites
that as both the United States and
Japan are at war with Germany,
the Japanese in Hawaii, especially
former soldiers, realize their duty
to help the United States win the
war.
The organization will co-operate
with the military authorities in ad
vancing war preparations; will give
aid and encouragement to drafted
men about to leave for the front;
will take care and charge of the
soldiers’ families; will encourage
the purchase of War Savings stamps,
the production of foodstuffs, and
further Red Cross work, all to the
end of “instilling into the hearts
of the population the real war
spirit.”
Should the cutodian of alien ene
my property be held liable for pay
ment of club dues and other indebt
edness of alien enemies? This is
the question Richard H. Trent,
Hawaii representative of the na
tional custodian recently put up to
A. Mitchell Palmer’s office and the
answer was an emphatic negative,
accompanied by a criticism of clubs
that still retain alien enemies on
their roster. The advice he re
ceived was:
“I should think fraternal orders
and social clubs of Hawaii would
strike from their lists enemy aliens
instead of seeking payments for
their dues.”
A British photographer writes to
the “Photo-Era" that a camera is
a dangerous bit of mechanism to
toy with just now. He says that
the captain of an English cargoboat
told him his ship met with an acci
dent on a recent voyage to Canada.
Having a pocket kodak, he planned
to go ashore and snapshot the dam
aged bow as a record for his own
ers. A port authority strongly dis
couraged him, and on being pressed
for a reason, said, “Well, you see
the harbor guards are young men
wdth new rifles, and if they see you
bobbing about with a camera you
might get a bullet through you!”

Steve Foster Arrives in Town From
Extended Trip to Totatlanika
Country.
Game Warden Steve Foster, who
has been on an extended trip to the
Totatlanika district, arrived in town
yesterday evening, mushing in over;
the Commission wagon road from
Residency 4, on the last leg of the
journey.
Mr. Foster left Nenana on the
morning of the 23rd of May, trav
elling over the government wagon
road to Residency 4 (43-mile), from
this point he crossed over the divide,
•reaching the Totatlanika country on j
the 27th.
After looking over the country in j
connection with the business that j
called him there, he started on the j
return journey on the morning of!
the 4th instant, arriving here yes- J
terday evening.
George Hainzinger and Party of
Eleven Fishermen Ar.-ive In
Neanan
Bound for the fishing grounds on
the lower Yukon river, near Andre
afsky, the launch Ram with George
Hainzinger and a party of eleven
Fairbanksans, arrived in town yes
terday evening.
The launch left Fairbanks yes
terday morning, but as the engine
was not working very satisfactorily
the party travelled at a leisurely rate
of speed.
A few minor repairs to the en
gine are being attended to here and j
: it is expected that all further trouble
:will then be eliminated.
| The men are under contract with
(the Carlisle Packing company, who
are operating a large cannery at
Andreafsky. The launch is also
under contract to the same concern.

STAMEN ARE
NEARING CAMP
_
Reports received from Residency
4 (43-mile) state that several grad
ing contractors who left town yes
terday morning for the purpose of
establishing camps near the sections
of the road they will grade, had
reached the store at Nenana Cross
ing.
All of their locations lie across
the river from 43-mile and beyond
towards Lignite, and it is expected
that they will make the crossing and
proceed to their respective camping
places tomorrow.
I It is reported that the river, which
| flows very swiftly here, has risen
! considerably, and has rendered the
j crossing by ferry boat difficult and
! dangerous. Considerable drift is
I also reported to be coming down
on the swollen river and it is barely
possible that these stationmen may
be held here for a while.
It was stated in these columns
some time ago that several bents
of the approaches to the bridge
across the river at this point had
been carried away; the necessary
piling to replace these have not yet
been driven and it is thought that
a temporary superstructure over
the existing piers and approaches, as
planned by the Commission, for the
purpose of transporting construction
material and supplies across the
river may not be possible until the
missing bents have been replaced.
For some time past a boat has
been used for communicating with
the other side, and this means of
communication may still have to be
resorted to for some time to come,
and it is though that the contract
ors will soon be able to get !j their
places of business by this means.
Outfits and supplies in small
I quantity will also be ferried across
i for the use of the stationmen and
' their gangs, but the problem of
! transporting horses across still re
mains unsolved.

Salvage from
I the battlefields - - -
ft
The Allied armies find it very profitable
to salvage scrap from the battlefields. Great
Britain is saving millions every year from
this thrifty parctice.
If we could extend this practice to the
United States—if we saved only the waste
and needless spending of every day and put
the saving into War Savings Stamps, it
would help to win the war.
Your every saving helps the Government.
Put the small savings into U. S. Thrift
Stamps at 25 cents each; when you have
16 of them, exchange them with a few extra
pennies for a $5 War Savings Stamp.
THEY EARN MONEY
THEY SAVE LIFE AT THE
FRONT, BY HELPINC UNCLE
