TO MOTHER Of
Secretary McAdoo has written
Mrs. W. B. Gurley, of Germantown,
i Pa., who has four sons in the army
. and a fifth ready to answer the call,
j the following letter:
“My Dear Mrs. Gurley:—My at
tention has been called to a news
paper clipping which says that four
of your sons are already wearing
the uniform; that a fifth is ready to
answer the call; and that you as
j chairman of the Woman’s Liberty
Loan committee of Germantown, will
direct a force of a thousand workers
in an effort to sell a million dollars
| of Liberty Loan bonds.
! “Few finer demonstrations of
patriotic devotion have come to my
attention than this. The spirt which
animates you is the spirt which will
make America victorious. Our na
tion, like you. has sent its sons to
battle. But it is not enogh to fight.
These sons must be protected to the
utmost limits of the nation's power.
The best protection we can give them
is to provide them with the best
equipment that money can buy. The
proceeds of the sale of Liberty
bonds are used for this sort of pro
tection for American boys.
"The women of America nave re
sponded nobly to the country's call.
Permit me to extend my congratu
lations to you as a typical repre
sentative of the great army of
American women who have enlisted
to make the Third Liberty Loan
a demonstration of the united spirt
, of our people.
“Cordially, yours,
“WM G. M’ADOO.”
TEST HOLES WILL
DETERMINE POINT
In order to determine whether
any drainage exists under the ice
which partly covers the track in the
neighborhood of Lost Slough, and to
arrange to put on the steel gang at
the earliest possible momment, a
series of holes were sunk in the ice
at intervals, for some distance along
the right of way.
Superintendent of Construction
Packer is anxious to start the work
of tracklaying and surfacing at the
earliest possible moment and will
again make an effort to establish
proper drainage for the surplus water
that had accumulated in this section
of the right of way. ••

CHARLIE VERNON IS
NOW IN ANCHORACE
In a letter recently received from
Charlie Vernon, who left here about
a month ago, he tells of the condi
tions as they exist in Anchorage.
Charlie says that they had a very
good trip over the Broad Pass trail,
considering the weather at the time,
and were just 19 days making the
trip.
Anchorage, he says, is a poor town
for the workingman, the boom be
ing over, the town is full, of men who
are just waiting for a chance to get
away to the States again. Charlie
says that there is not a first c’ass
pool room in the town, but dozens
of second and third class oees and
a lot of small hotels.
He is intending to leave for
Seattle, with a view of encerirg tl e
United States army as soon as pos
sible. Charlie stated that he h >pes
his next address would be No. 23
Rue Someplace, in France.
