BISHOP REFUSES MONEY
WITH TAINT OF CARDS
i
LONDON.—The bishop of Chelms
ford has barred money raised from
“whist drives and dances" from a
fund of $1,250,000 which the peo
ple of Essex are trying to collect
for church extension. Writing to
his people concerning these amuse :
ments, the bishop declared: ‘Roth
may be legitimate forms of re rea
tion, but they are not methods of;
the church for raising money. I
have never heard of either being ■
opened or closed with praye-.”

YELLOW PERIL IS
VIEWED WITH ALARM
IN THE TRANSVAAL!
_ i
PRETORIA.—At a mass meeting ;
held here to consider the question:
of Asiatics in the Transvaal, a reso-.
lution was adopted declaring that
the meeting “views with the gre.<t- J
est alarm the serious menace to the
economic and social welfare of the
inhabitants of the Transvaal occa
sioned by the continued encroach-'
ment of Asiatics and advocates im
mediate measures to deal with the
question.”
SALOON BARS USED
IN MAKING COFFINS
LOS ANGELES. — Saloon bars,
both brass and mahogany, are being
used to make coffins, it became
known recently when a wrecking
company purchased several mahog
any bars and their brass trimmings
from saloons which closed on ac
count of prohibition. The scarcity ,
of mahogany has caused the wreck
ing of the bars, the company said,'
and the lumber is sold to casket
makers. The brass trimmings, the
company added, are cast into han
dles. plated with silver, and at
tached to the caskets.
COMEDY OF WAR
REVEALED BY ACT
OF LITTLE COUNTRY
LONDON.—A little comedy of
the war is revealed in an official
Rumanian statement just received
in London.
When Austria-Hungary collapsed,
and its various races set about re
solving themselves into separate na
tions, the little island of Orsova,
at the junction of three states—
Austria-Hungary, Serbia, and Ru
mania—was forgotten.
After many months, the Orsovans
have just decided to place their
faith in Rumania.

BAZAAR
STARTING WORK
AT HALL TODAY
The work of building booths and
iecorating Union hall for the Grace
.•hurch bazaar was taken in hand
his morning by the ladies compos
ng the various committees of the
Ladies’ Aid, and a very busy day
is reported getting the hall ready
for the sale of the many things that
*-ilf be offered to the Nenana pub
lic tomorrow night. The job of
preparing the booths is a big one
and it probably will be late tomor
row before the work is completed.
The plans include some very
striking decorative effects. and
when everything is in place, the
hall will present a most attractive
appearance, with ample floor space
between the booths for the big
crowd expected and for the per
formers who will entertain during
the bazaar.
HIGH PRICES CHARGED
FOR EXHUMING BODIES
PARIS.—There is bitter feeling
throughout France owing to the
exorbitant prices demanded by some
of the inhabitants of the war zone
for the exhumation of the bodies oi
soldiers who fell on the battlefields
of France, and their transportation
to the nearest railway station. “The
profiteers of death.” they are called
Besides exacting stupendous prices
the self-appointed undertakers show
little consideration for the precious
burdens which they convey.
ALASKAN TELLS
OF SUCCESS IN
RAISING FOXES
SPOKANE, Wash.—Growth of r
fox farm industry on Kukoi island
off the coast of Alaska, from let
pairs of foxes to a band of ai
estimated value of SI30,000 in th>
last four years was described b;
Claude Green, formerly a trapper
prospector and miner of the Coeu
d’Alene district of Idaho, and on
of the proprietors of the farm, dur
ing a recent visit here.
The foxes are fed a cooked masl
of fish and shorts. The farm main
tains its own fishing fleet, and year
iy dries 20,000 humpback and do;
salmon. Mr. Green said.
Orders on hand for foxes fo
breeding purposes now total $16.
000, he declared, and $55,000 wort!
of hides will be sold during tin
present year. The farm was startei
with eight pairs of blue foxes am
two pairs of silver foxes. Mori
than 600 foxes, with an averagi
market value per pelt of $185, hav
been raised, according to Mr. Green

WATCH AND JEWELRY
REPAIRING. ENGRAVING
WM. TAYLOR
DIXMUDE, Belgium.—Lining the
banks of the Yser river, far as the
eye can see, are the trenches which
for so many months during the war
were occupied by the Belgian and
German armies, the Belgians on the
south bank and the Germans on the
north. They still bear many marks
of shell and rifle fire, and moldy
straw lying on the damp floors still
convey some idea of the hardships
to which the soldiers were sub
jected.
On the German side of the river
is a dugout, built to resist the
heaviest projectiles, and cool even
on a hot day. It was a favorite
gathering spot for the Germans
when the fighting was fiercest, but
now serves the more useful pur
pose of a refrigerator. Instead of
! the bunks and chairs which once
i lined its sides, one now sees pile
upon pile of beer cases, filled with
refreshment for the soldier guard
at work cleaning up the ground.
Behind the dugout, the bodies of
three soldiers—two Belgians and
one German—were buried on the
bank of a tiny pond, made by
bursting shells. Little crosses mark
the resting places, and over them
poppies nod.
Along the Yser one may plainly
see the effects of the hard-fought
struggle. Here and there the top
of a dugout has been crushed in.
:and further along the duckboards
from an abandoned trench may be
seen sticking through the mud
Within sight of the bridge, the
'muzzle of a field piece, rusted and
useless, points to the sky.
Much of the debris of the battle
field has already been collected.
Miles upon miles of barbed wire
have been reclaimed from the en
tanglements, German and Allied,
which stretched in front of the
lines, but at some points along the
' river bank the old entanglements
' still remain, rusted and twisted on
• stakes which are fast falling into
the ground. There are great piles
i of reeled wire which has not been
• unwound since it left the wire mills,
while the military telephone system?
■ are still stretched upon short stakes.
The people of Dixmude, like the
' people of every other destroyed Bel
■ gian town, are gradually returning
i to the ruins of their homes. The
■ help being given them by the gov
1 ernment is giving them heart and
I strength to begin life over again.
• Here one may see a man patching
up a shell-hole in his house with
’ a few bricks taken from the ruins
of his neighbor’s home, and in an
’ other place men. and women too,
are patching a roof.
But these instances are few. In
most cases the destruction was so
complete that nothing is left for
the poor Belgian but to build a new
house.
But the people are happy and
cheerful. They go about their work
with smiling faces and merry laugh
ter. They are back home.
Herbert Kellogg, who is an agent
of the Central Fisheries company of
San Francisco, is looking up can
nery sites for his company.
