The Pacific Steamship company

f I Southwestern Alaska run. They
t have transferred the Goodrich, a
freighter, from the Nome traffic,
and have chartered the Lovejoy, a
freighter, for the season to operate
I in Southeastern and Southwestern
, Alaska. This will give the Pacific
Steamship company five passenger
I boats and four freighters plying in
| the waters adjacent to Juneau.

cannot carry your extra clothing

these things. They are worth
more money in Seattle than here

Well Known and Popular Matron
Died at Toklat Roadhouse
On July 25th.
Tom Tousley, who arrived in Ne
nana last night from the Kantishna
' country was the bearer of a letter to
Mrs. M. J. Cooney from R. H. Knight
j containing the sad intelligence of
! the death of his wife on July 25th,
j at the Toklat roadhouse.
The late Mrs. Knight was an in
mate of the Nenana hospital for a
, long time last winter and when she
‘ left that institution was feeling very
well- The letter from her husband
I says that she was improving very
i nicely right along after she arrived
at the roadhouse from the hospital.
It would appear that the deceased
lady, who was always inclined to be
active, worked harder than she ought
to have done, before regaining her
wonted strength, which set her back
. to such an extent that it compelled
her to take to her bed, where she
: remained until the end. Everything
. humanly possibly was done for her
! relief.
I
The late Mrs. Knight was well
known throughout the country and
• was much liked and esteemed by all
who knew her for her kindly dis-1
position and sterling qualities, and
her death will be greatly regretted
by her many friends.
The deceased lady and her hus
band ran the Toklat roadhouse for
many years past and travellers pass
ing through that section of the coun
try are loud in their praises of the
care bestowed and the pains taken
by her for the comfort and welfare
of her guests.
VANES CONTRACT i
STRANGE DISEASE:
With the American Army in Eng
land.—A few cases of botulism have !
been discovered in the American
army but none has resulted fatally
and the medical corps has encount
ered no difficulty in checking the
spread of the disease.
A great number of cases have,
been found in the British forces,but |
the percentage is not much larger i
there and, while deeply interested
in the charcter of this latest of war
diseases, physicians, both British and
American, profess a conviction that'
it will not become so prevalent as
to become a menace. One of the i
victims in the American army has j
been an officer at headquarters. He I
recovered, only a slight drooping of :
the eyelids remaining some days after j
he was discharged, as a reminder1
of his disease. Little regarding the J
causes of the disease has yet been j
learned. Symptoms include an in
ordinate desire to sleep, supple
mented often by a slight rash and
a tendency to delerium. The patient!
sometimes is left in a partly para- j
lysed state. In a few cases only
has it proved fatal.
OBITUARY NOTICE
Died at Toklat roadhouse July
25th, 1918, Mrs. Mildred Knight,
wife of Richard H. Knight, aged 56
years and 5 months.

employees for increases and a num
ber of advances have been made to
persons in that classification.

stenographers, who are rated at $125
a month.
The new scale is applicable only
to the Seward and Anchorage divi
sions- There is another scale for
the Fairbanks division.

in the furrow—patriotism is the prac-!
tical doing of the next job.
