LEITH RUSSELL
ENJOYS LIFE IN
NAVAL RESERVE
In a recent letter to his mother,
Mrs. J. H. Russell, of this city, Leith
Russell, well known young Fairbanks
printer, writes in happy strain of
the new life that has dawned for
him on the great Outside as one
of Uncle Sam’s sailors.
Leith was not satisfied to remain
in the Xorth until he was called to
the colors, in course of time, so he
left for the States several months (
ago and arrived there before the
law which prohibits voluntary induc
tion went into effect, and, as he was
seeking voluntary induction, was en
abled to choose any branch of the |
country’s service, and promptly en-!
listed in the naval service.
He speaks enthusiastically of the i
life in the navy, and judging from
the drift of his remarks, the naval
service suits him in every possible
way.
He has apparently been very for
tunate in the way of furloughs and
had been spending them recently at
| Spokane and in the neighborhood of
, the training camp near Seattle, to
, which he is attached, meeting a few
! old Alaska friends and making a
, host of new ones. He speaks in the
highest terms of praise of the people
in and around the big cities, espe
cially the ladies, and of the treat
ment accorded the boys in the serv
ice. They are given a cordial wel
come wherever they go and their
lives made pleasant for them at
every turn.
Bill Carey and Bill Young, for
merly in the employ of the A. E. C.,
are also in the naval service, the,
latter was not very well at the -time
Leith wrote. KC> also speaks of hav
ing met Slim Packard and Chris
Hansen, who were on their way to
Camp Lewis.
j He also met \v ulis Nicely in
Seattle. Willis happened to reach
Seattle after the law barring volun
tary induction had gone into effect
and all his strenuous endeavors to
enter the service had proved un
availing up to that time. He was
however, in hopes of being able to
join in the n^.r future. Willis is
the son of Mrs. Nicely, of this city,
city.
Leith is steadily going through a
course of training that will soon fit
him for service at sea, and in the
near future expects to be told off
on some naval vessel to enter on his
sea career and “a life on the ocean
wave” with unlimited opportunities
of seeing the world. He says that
there is some talk of his vintage of
rookies being sent to the Great
! Lakes in about a month’s time for
further training, but of this he was
I
; not very sure.
At the time of writing, Leith was
encamped with the rest of the rook
ies in training at the Spokane Fair
grounds and the 25th Annual Spo
j kane Interstate Fair and Live Stock
Show was on. He was rapidly be
coming proficient in the expressive
and breezy language of the salt sea
and was, generally, having the time
of his young life, unhampered by
j shipboard limitations to which he
! will have to get accustomed later on.
“I want some needles for a phono
graph,” said a man who sauntered
into the Northern Drug store at
Cordova recently. The clerk showed
him the needles and also noticed
that the man was on speaking terms
with old John Barleycorn. The cus
tomer apparently took a liking to
the clerk and finally asked him in a
friendly whisper if he would like
a little taste of something .<ood.
“Sure,” replied the clerk. Where
up the man produced a bottle of
generous size from his hip pocket
and passed it over behind the count
er. About three minutes later he
was headed for the city jail. The
genial clerk happened to be U. S.
Deputy Marshal Wm. Fursman, pro
prietor of the store. The prisoner
with the convivial disposition gave
his name as Wm. Nichols.

TOKIO.—General Kikuzo Otani,
commander of the expeditionary
force of the Entente Allies in Si
beria, was one of the Japanese
heroes of the battle of the Yalu
River fourteen years ago. His staff
includes the most brilliant officers
of the Japanese army.
During the Chinese war. Gen
eral Otani, who is 62 years of age,
was one of the staff officers in the
imperial headquarters at Hiroshima.
When the Russo-Japanese war be- j
gan he, then a major-general, was'
appointed inspector general of the
twelfth division which belonged to
the First army, under General Ku
roki, who startled the world by win
ning the first victory for Japan in
the battle of the Yalu River. Later
he became the commander of a brig
ade, and his courage and superior
knowledge in tactics made him a
hero of the war.
In one of the battles of the war,
Gen. Otani’s headquarters was found
by the Russians who cross-fired it
with a hail of shells. Realizing the
danger, one of his staff officers
advised him to move. He heard the
advice with composure, and rejected
it by simply saying: “I can't hear
the sound of firing. I'm afraid I've
become a little deaf.”
General Otani is known as a silent
man, like Field Marshal Oyama nd
Admiral Togo, and he is considered
a great tactician. He has an ex
tensive knowledge of mathematics.
Lieutenant-General Mitsuye Yui,
the newly appointed chief of staff,
has long been known as one of the
brightest staff officers of the Jap
anese army. During the Russo
Japanese war he served as the vice
chief of the staff of the second army
under General Oku, and his bril
liant tactics in the battle of Heikou,
when he deefeated two Russian army
corps with a single division, is re
corded in the history of the war.
Lieutenant-General Yui is 57 years
old.
