“Some of our boys in the trench
es would enjoy a good bath,” is
the message printed on a small sign
placed over the shower bath room
J built by the Chickaloon Coal com- !
pany for its employees at the mines
and which is a constant reminder
tothe users of the shower bath that
they can do their bit in the winning j
! of the war by contributing what !
! they regard the bath worth to the
American Red Cross.
The shower bath was built for
the use of the employees of the j
mine by Walter A. Gompertz, gen- j
eral manager of the Chickaloon i
Coal company, and in the place of
charging the men a fee for its use
the sign was placed in plain view
of the users of the bath.
Mr. Gompertz has turned over to j
the Anchorage chapter of the Red :
Cross a purse filled with quarter^ j
half dollars and dollars, money re
ceived from the men, who while I
taking advantage of the shower bath !
' remembered the boys in the trenches. I

The Anchorage Pioneers have
adopted a novel manner of paying
off their indebtedness. At each
meeting they sell bonds of a twenty
five dollar denomination, redemra
able in two years. All moneys de
rived from parties, dances and other
entertainments are to go into the
treasury for the purpose of redeem
ing the bonds and at every meeting
numbers will be drawn, the lucky
man having his bond redeemed at
once. Bonds to the amount of $225
were subscribed at the first meeting.
Carl Martin, one of the Matan
uska farmers, reports that there
will be a good acreage planted this
spring in that section of Alaska,
notwithstanding the discouraging ex
perience of the over production of
spuds last season.

ANCHORAGE URGED
10 GEI COLLIERS
The building of colliers to handli
the products of the Matanuska coa
fields between Anchorage and th<
Pacific coast cities is the most im
portant matter to be taken up a
this time by the people of An
chorage, in the opinion of Homer T
Fowler, president of the Pacifii
Grocery company and owner of val
uable real estate holding in me rail
road town, who arrived from hi:
headquarters in Everett, Washing
ton, on a recent steamer.
In speaking of the shipping facili
ties, Mr. Fowler sees no reason wh;
boats properly equipped for the pur
pose should find difficulty in ne
gotiating the Anchorage harbor a
all times of the year. He compare
the conditions with those existinj
on the Great Lakes, where durin;
the shipping season between BufFaL
and Duluth, in the heart of the grea
iron belt, coal has been carried be
tween the two cities, a distance o
1-100 miles, during the past thirt;
years for thirty cents per ton. Witl
the buiding of colliers for the An
chorage coal trade a similar carry
ing charge may be maintained.
Mr. Fowler is shipping in a largi
number of hogs to Anchorage whicl
during the season he will sell to th
farmers for a price which include*
the original cost in the States plu
the freight charges.

Three prominent citizens of Ketch
ikan were recently arrested on the
charge of circulating seditious liter
ature. The pamphlet in questiot
was entitled “Three in One.” The
men arrested were Frank H. Boyd

trie Laundry; Dean C. Cannon, own
er of the Cannon Bakery, and Bert

Guard at that place. The men were

Capt. A. E. Lathrop, of Anchor
age, recently received a check for
$16.20, remitted to him for an over
payment in his income tax in 1913.
The matter has been argued the past
four years.
The Nome citizens in a burst ol
patriotism, decided to forego their
annual Sweepstakes race this year
and devote their time and itioney
to the war service. The stake money
raised this year will be kept intact
until 1919, when if the war is over,
it is expected that the greatest
sweepstake race in the history of
the North will be staged.

SOME SAILOR
In the old days of wooden fighting I
ships the questions put to the would-!
be recruit were few and simple, j
Could he “hand, reef, and steer?” j
Did he come under the heading of
seaman, ordinary seaman, or just ;
plain landsman?”
Today the sea fighters are float- i
ing machine shops, little worlds in 1
themselves, where men of many
trades are needed.
William Sato calls himself an
American, although he was born in
Japan. Sato was working as a
photographer on a Chicago news
paper when he went to the Great
Lakes Training station to enlist.
“What’s your occupation?” asked
the recruiting officer.
“I’m willing to do anything in
the navy,” replied Sato.
“I mean, what are you best fitted
for? Look over this list and check
off what you can do.”
This is what Sato checked off:
Aviator, blacksmith, cook, doctor,
electrician, fencer, gunner, house
man, interpreter, jeweler, quizrer.
reporter, steamfitter, tailor, under
taker, vivisectionist, wrestler, yeo
man, zoologist.
He is a registered physician, a
licensed aeroplane pilot, and an ex
pert photographer. If Josephus
Daniels, boss of the navy, is ever
short-handed, he can page Mr. Sato.
The production of the Eska coal
mine for the week ending March 30
was 984.85 short tons. There were j
120 men on the payroll at the close i
of the period.
