RELIANCE COMES
WITH CARGO FOR
THE UPPER 10WN
The A. Y. N. steamer Reliance
with the Waeehter Bros. Co. barge
McN'ab in tow arrived at ten o’clock
last night from Tanana and way
stations. She brought some way
! mail and the following passengers
for Nenana: E. H. Fernold, Dan
Kinally, Dr. J. R. Bowen, Ignot
Mikich, John Knutson.
Bishop Crimont was the only
through passenger on board bound
I for Fairbanks, and as the departure
j of the Reliance will be considerably
delayed, owing to the fact that she
is washing her boilers here, Bishop
I Crimont transferred to the steamer
Tanana and will continue his voyage
; to Fairbanks today.
| It is not definitely known whether
the Reliance will go on to Fairbanks
or not, and in the meantime she will
await orders here. The barge Mc
Nab was taken in tow by the steam
er Tanana for Fairbanks.
AWKWARD SQUAD.
SUPPLANTED BY
LAME BATTALION
PARIS.—“The awkward squad”,
familiar at the beginning of all citi
zen armies, has now been supplanted
by the “lame” battalion, designed
to reestablish the men who have gone
through the fire and to fit them for
future service.
So successful has the idea of a
“lame” battalion been that from
70 to 80 per cent of the soldiers re
ceiving wounds in the legs or suffer
ing from the usual foot and leg
maladies of trench warfare have
been restored to their full combat
strength.
The new course involves instruc
tion of the wrounded and weakened
soldier, in the proper posture of the
body and its use in walking, run
j ning and riding. Special drills lave
| been devised to overcome the habits
| into which the :nvalidod soldier has
; fallen. Instruction is given in the
! care of the feet while special atten
tion has been given to the foot and
1 leg cases in the hospitals.
Men with specially troublesome
; feet, weak backs, general bad pos
i ture or lack of endurance are sent
to the special training battalion,
where the fully erect, alert position
of the body is emphasized. Four
i companies have been established in
the battalion, wdth progress increas
ingly difficult so that the schedule
of the fourth company is only slight
ly below that required for full com
bat fitness.
United States army medical offi
cers report that “experience has
show'n that from one-th;rd to one
half of the ordinary deformit' *• re
: suiting from gunshot wounds are
preventable. Surgeons must free
themselves from thei- tendency to
treat the wounds and forget the
function; to make a well man but
not a working one.”
The Canoe Pass Packing company
at Cordova has packed 50,000 cases
of salmon this year, which is prob
ably 15,000 cases more than the
total pack last year. This is tTie
fourth consecutive year in which
the cannery has surpassed the pad
of the preceding year. The cannery
has two salmon lines and employs
about 160 persons.

KINALLY LEAVES
10 TAKE CHARGE
Jack Kinally Is Transferred From
Nenana to the Camp at
Fairbanks.
J. E. Kinally left today on the
steamer Tanana for Fairbanks from
which place he will proceed to the
Alaskan Engineering: commission’s
camp at the end of steel from the
Happy station. He will have com
plete charge of this camp as fore
man.
Jack Kinally first entered the
service of the A. E. C. as foreman
and was in charge of the work done
by the men of old camp 12, situated
about fifteen miles south of town
along the old right of way. A sec
tion of the road was graded in the
neighborhood of this camp on force
account under the direction of Mr.
Kinally.
When Lost Slough first began to
,give trouble and started to tear its
way across the railroad, Kinally and
. his gang of men with the teams at
tached to old camp 12 were trans
i ferred to the north bank of the
slough to help the men there curt
the floods. He remained there and
; was twice compelled to move his
, entire camp suddenly, owing to the
1 encroaching waters.
He was afterwards placed in
charge of the men constructing a
i wing dam across the head of Lost
Slough from its northern bank
which position he held until the wort
was completed.
He has had considerable railroac
experience and will, no doubt, dc
good work on the Fairbanks enc
of the government railroad.
Sometime in the not far distant
past a package of tobacco seed was
slipped by mistake into a package
sent to a Valdez merchant. John
Johnson, who lives near the mouth
of the famous Taku river, secured
the seed, and wanting to try an
experiment, planted it and watered
it and it drank in the pure air and
Alaska dew of the Northland. It
is now in bloom three feet high
with leaves 30 inches long. An ice
berg perfecto or a north pole cher
ott are yet among the latent possi
bilities of this great empire.
