LITTLE YUKONA MOYER
RECEIVES SLIGHT HURT
While some of the younger girls
were playing at the swing on the
school grounds Thursday evening,
little Yukona Moyer happened to
run in the path of the swing and
was knocked down, receiving a pain
ful cut on her forehead.
The flow of blood badly fright
ened her little playmates, who
thought she was seriously injured.
The child was taken to the Fowler
home, and Dr. More, who was sum
moned hastily, soon set their fears
at rest.
The wound was stitched up and
Yukona is as happy and well as ever
today.

FAMOUS WESHI
OARS WILL PASS
SAX FRANCISCO.—“The Palace
bar turned into a soda-water and
ice cream parlor—Gosh"!” To men
who are reaching the sunset days
of their lives: who were a part of
the hectic period of the Comstock
mining boom and other famous
bonanza days in the various sec
tions of the unfettered West with
its open gambling and many famous
bars and hotels, it becomes an effort
of the imagination to picture the
transition which will take place
July 1.
But the Palace hotel bar will
make the change, it is announced.
The largest and most famous of
the Far Western institutions of that
character, whose net income is said
to have been in the neighborhood.
of $175,000 a year, where men dis
cussed millions over their cocktails
or highballs, and where many a
gigantic mining, land, or stock deal
was consummated, will fall in line.
Behind this bar hangs Maxfield Par
rish's mural decoration. “The Pied
Piper of Hamelin,” which cost the
hotel management $25,000. A com
panion piece, "Old King Cole,”
hangs in the Knickerbocker hotel
in New York.
The Lick bar, rebuilt since the
earthquake and fire of 1906, is as
sociated with the early days of the
city, and about the name cluster
many of the associations of the
Vigilantes, who put an end to mur
der and lawlessness in San Fran
cisco.
The same may be said of the
Exchange saloon, the marble floor
of which was shipped around the
Horn about 1843. It was the head
quarters of the leaders of San Fran
cisco affairs.
In Bakersfield is the Southern
bar. It was the scene of many a
revel of titled and highborn Eng
lishmen who used to ride in from
the colony at Rosedale and. filling
themselves with sparkling wine,
were prone to remember their
mounts by pouring bottles of cham
pagne down the throats of their
horses. Tradition has it that Lord
Sholto Douglas was one of the gay
blades.
\\ ith the passing of the liquor
trade will go Jack Doyle’s place at
Vernon, known to all followers of
the prizering, and where nearly one
hundred bartenders serve the
crowds. Here in their heyday have
passed Jeffries, Johnson. Choynski.
Fitzsimmons, Kid McCoy, Britt,
Ritchie, Young Corbett, McGovern,
and many other men famed in the
history of the prizering.
In Los Angeles, the Oak, situated
near the courthouse, already has
passed out. Its nickname of the
“Dynamite Reef” was acquired, not
on account of any high-power stock
it may have carried, but because
it was the favorite meeting place
for many of those connected with
the trial of those concerned in the
blowing up of the Los Angeles
Times building.
Other saloons of Los Angeles
around which memories of various
sorts cling were the “Dead Rat.”
known to police and newspaper
men; the Pantheon, the heart of
Chinatown, near which more than
a score of Chinese were lynched bv
a mob more than a quarter of a
century ago; and the “Bucket of
Blood,” a name to be found in
many Western cities.
Texas, already dry, even now has
only memories of the Cactus, the
Parlor, Wigwam, Gem. The Ranch,
The Ruby, Astor House, Palace,
Coney Island, and Lobby, names
which will endure in books of fact
and fiction which have been written
about the early days when band?
of recreation-seeking cow-punchers
galloped dowm the streets to a
fusillade of pistol shots and rode
their ponies up to the bars.
Billy Duncan’s Silver Dollar sa
loon, in Denver, which got its name
from the silver dollars cemented
into the floor; Tortoni’s. which went
Duncan several better and made a
flooring of twenty-dollar gold pieces,
have gone, for Colorado anticipated
national prohibition.
Everywhere it is the same, and
while many mourn the passing of
the famous resorts, all are prepar
ing for the transition.
The Alaska Copper Corporation
will resume operations at its prop
erty on Nugget creek soon.

PARIS MG
PREPARATIONS FOR
GREAT PARADE
PARIS. — France's national fete
day, the fourteenth of July, will
witness scenes of patriotic fervor
probably unparalleled in the history
of the republic, for that is the date
provisionally agreed upon as most
appropriate for the grand march of
the victorious French army through
the streets of the capital.
The program has already assumed
definite shape. The route will be
from the Porte Maillot, at the main
Entrance to the Bois de Boulogne,
through the Arc de Triomphe. along
the Avenue des Champs Elysees,
the Place de la Concorde and the
Rue de Rivoli to the Place de la
Republique, a distance of some
eight miles.
The general outline of the scheme
of decorations has been arranged
by a body called the French Fed
eration of Mobilized Artists of the
War 1914-1918, and a festival com
mittee of forty, appointed by M.
Lafcrre. minister of public instruc
tion, has approved the scheme sub
mitted.
At the Porte Maillot, between
huge pylons, tribunes will be erect
ed where the city fathers will wel
come the heroes of Verdun and
the Marne. Along the Avenue de
la Grande Armee, decorative
plaques will commemorate battles,
the names of which are household
words throughout the world.
No superfluous decoration will
mar the architectural beauty of the
Arc de Triomphe, but the vast cir
cus where twelve noble avenues con
verge will be made into one great
amphitheater for thousands of spec
tators.
Decked with a profusion of flow
ers and flags, the Avenue des
Champs Elysees will no doubt offer
a magnificent spectacle. A monu
ment representing the League of
Nations, symbolizing Victory and
Peace, will be erected on the Ter
asse des Feuillants, while halfway,
at the Rond Point, another monu
ment will recall the glorious dead,
resurrected and joining in the tri
umph of the living.
The Luxor obelisk on the Place
de la Concorde will form the center
of an immense decorative scheme
extending to the famous statues
representing the chief cities of
France. The decoration of the oth
er streets through which the pageant
will pass will be left in the hands
of the authorities of the different
city wards.
Regret is felt in some quarters
that by July so many of the actual
participants in the great battles will
have been demobilized. This will,
however, not detract from the fer
vent homage that will be paid to
the colors of the famous French
regiments which covered themselves
with glory.
TOLOVANA LAUNCH
FAILS TO SHOW UP
_
The Carl White launch, which wa
expected to arrive at Xenana last
night, had not put in an appearance
up to the time of going to press
today.
A telegram was received at the
Portland yesterday to the effect that
i the launch had left the mouth of
the Tolovana river at 9:30 a. m
yesterday, bound for Fairbanks with
i the mail. Engine trouble is thought
to be delaying the boat.
LAUNCHES DID NOT
LEAVE FOR FAIRBANKS
Owing to there being very little
j business offering in the way of pass
engers and freight, the launches
Victory and Peerless did not leave
on their accustomed trips to Fair
banks today.
It is expected that one or both
of them will leave with the maii to
morrow, as it is thought quite pos
sible that there may be many men
in Fairbanks who may want to conic
to X'enana to work on the ia 'road.

HANS HAGEN’S BROTHER
RETURNS FROM FRANCE
In a letter received on the last
mail, Araund Hagen, a brother >f
Hans Hagen of Xenana. writes co
say that he is back in the States
after having served at the front,
and that he will soon return to
; peaceful pursuits. He was recently
'discharged at Fort Russell, Wy
oming.
Amund Hagen was a member of
one of the infantry regiments which
took part in the fighting in the
Argonne forest, where the Huns
were badly beaten by the American
forces.
I The fighting, he says, commenced
jat 4 a. m., September 26th. and
I the Americans kept going without
any letup till 3 a. m., September
129th. when he was wounded and
I had to be taken back to the field
j hospital at the rear of the lines, a
j distance of about five kilometer*.
. .....
I The shells were falling thick and
fast, he says, and it was about as
i dangerous at the rear as at the
front. He is suffering from a ner
vous breakdown known as shell
shock, but expects to be well again
isoon. His wound has now healed.
During the fighting between the
26th and the 29th, his regiment
captured many prisoners, and he
tells of one incident in the fighting
when the Americans, who were fa
tigued and almost famished, fell *o
on the captured German rations
and ate them raw. There was no
time, he says, to cook them, as there
was plenty of fighting ahead and
they had orders to hurry.

Not even by the greatest stretch
of the imagination could some peo
ple make both ends meet.
