A few days after a fanner had
sold a pig to a neighbor he chanced
to pass the neighbor's place and
saw the owner's son sitting on the
edge of the pigpen watching the
new occupant.
“How do you do, Johnny?” said
he. “How’s your pig today?”
‘Oh, pretty well, thank you," re
plied the little boy. “How’s ail
your folks?”
Roy Lund came up from Tolo
vana in his launch Ram yesterday,
and plans to get away today for
Fairbanks. The launch broke away
from its moorings during the eve
ning, putting its owner to consid
erable trouble to recover it.

An official document from the
war department reached Dr. Mal
colm E. Smith yesterday, informing
him of his promotion to the rank of
major, of the medical section of the
officers’ reserve corps. Advance in
rank is not given unless appointee
had been recommended for promo
tion, such recommendation having
been initiated and on record in the
adjutant general's office prior to
November 11, 1918.
The offieers’ reserve corps, of
which Major Smith is now a mem
ber, is a part of the regular army
established by the National Defense
Act of 1916. “for the purpose of
securing a reserve of officers avail
able for service as temporary of
ficers of the regular army.” These
reserves, covering every branch of
the service, are made subject to
duty only in time of war.
Dr. Smith, who is a veteran cf
the Spanish-American war, having
served with Company C, Third New
Jersey Volunteer Infantry, gave up
his position as chief surgeon of the
local hospital and Government rail
road and left for the States to
enter the medical branch of the
army in the spring of 1918. He
was stationed at Camp Fremont,
California, for a time after offering
his services to the Government, and
was later transferred to base hos
pital No. 95, at Perigueux. France,
where he remained until last May.
Dr. Smith entered the service as a
first lieutenant, and held the ram:
of captain when discharged from
active service in June. He left
France as soon as the work over
there would permit of his departure,
and returned to Nenana July 25th
to resume his former position as
head of the surgical department of
the Alaskan Engineering commis
sion in the Nenana-Fairbanks divi
sion.

ttensns. When Sails and Blveri Seat
The new McKinnon launch, which
reached Nenana several days ago
from Fairbanks, sailed for the lower
Yukon yesterday morning with Tom
McKinnon, George Nightengale, Lee
Lamprecht, and George Gravdahl,
the destination of the party being
the upper Kuskokwim, where Mc
Kinnon is said to have acquired
some promising quartz properties.
None of the party would disclose
the location of the properties which
they are to investigate, beyond ad
mitting that they are headed for the
Kuskokwim, which is a very large
district.
The work, it is understood, is to
be done under the direction of
Nightengale, who came to Nenana
several days ago to engage the men
who will assist in the work to be
done. It is believed that the launch
iwill go as close to the Kuskokwim
as possible, on the Yukon side,
from which point the party will
mush across country to the scene of
their labors.
The McKinnon launch was fitted
up at Fairbanks by Ear! Slippern
and has ample accommodations for
such a trip as is being made, with
room for considerable freight and a
number of passengers. There is
an improvised gailey at the stern.
, behind the engine. , —
It is not known here how long
the party’ will be away, or whether
or not Mr. McKinnon will accom
pany his hard-rock men to their des
tination.
A grading contract, covering 14
stations, on .the main line south of
N'enana, has ben awarded to George
Palmer, who recently completed a
contract on the Xenana-Fairbanks
line, and the work will be started
immediately.
Mr. Paimer will use six head of
stock in the work and a crew of
three men, with possibly the add:
tion of others after the work is
under way.
The grading will be done about
two miles south of the Singleton
roadhouse.
