which side wins the war. but I woulc
like to see the States licked foi
going into it.” Later in the con

marked: “I am a German and a d—
good one. If anyone wants to lie’s
Germany he's got to lick me first.
It is not known yet whether the
accused will call for a jury trial oi

hands of Attorney J. Hampton Miles,

fense this week.
An additional supply of water for
Anchorage, amounting to about 90

HD CAMPAIGN
' FOR LIBER1V LOAN
Cramer Appoints A Committee to
IlinCle Subscriptions in City
Camps.
The Third Liberty loan campaign
is now in full swing in Nenana and
has been started off with a sub
scription of one thousand dollars
from the Nenana Igloo of the Alas
kan Order of Pioneers.
A committee consisting of six
members has been appointed, each
one being authorized to receive
money for subscriptions. The com
mittee consists of Mrs. M. S. Love,
postoffice; Max M. Smith, Northern
Commercial Co. store; R. R. Douse,
commissary store, James T. Old
field, Camp 16; Fred Hupprieh, 20
Mile; Franklin A. Johnson, 35-Mile
and Merle D. McCambridge, 43-Mile.
The third Liberty loan bonds are
selling fast in the States, and are
in great demand, the people realiz
ing that the money must be forth
coming for the war needs, and for
that reason larger subscriptions are
being made than in the instances
of the first and second loan.
A large supply of advertising mat
ter has been received by the local
authorities and will be posted
throughout he town. The cartoons
have been done by the most promin
ent cartoonists in the United States,
all of whom volunteered their ser
vices, each cartoonist submitting sev
eral cartoons, the best of each be
ing accepted by the government.
Aside from a standpoint of patri
otism. subscribers to these loans are
benefiting themesleves by putting
their money into a first rate invest
ment, backed by the government of
the United States and drawing a
good rate of interest.
Each subscriber contributing to
the third Liberty loan bond cam
paign will be furnished with a but
ton showing that he is a member
of the campaign.

The United States Shipping boar
announces the following:
Fully realizing that many of th
shipyard plants are new, and that i
other plants the number of workme
1 has been and will be greatly ir
creased, that the accommodation
and suroundings are not what the
will be at a later date, the Unite
States Shipping board is making
comprehensive plan to provide mean
for recreation and amusement fo
the men who will be performing th
necessary and patriotic work in th
yards.
Men to Choose Am use met ns
It is planned to work this out s
that the men themselves will hav
the strongest voice in determininj
the kinds and character of amuse
ment most suitable and also as t<
how the same shall be conducted
but of necessity, under all the con
ditions surounding, it will be neces
sary to ask the aid of various agen
cies already organized that may b(
of definite assistance—certainly a
the inception of the plan.
In this connection it is expectec
to call upon the state councils oJ
defense in the various shipbuilding;
states, the woman’s committee, th«
Y. M. C. A., Red Cross, Knights oi
Columbus, Y. M. H. A., and others
Similar to Camp Welfare.
The fact that recreation has beer
shown as a necessity for men in the
National army has made it evidenl
that the welfare of shipyard work
ers must be taken care of in a
similar way, as the work they are
now performing is as essential, nec
essary, and patriotic as can be per
formed.

FOREST RESERVE
FUNDS ARE IDLE
IDE
Captain W. H. Waugh, president :
jof the Alaska Road Commission,
'stated in Juneau recently, that r.o j
money will be expended on road
work in Alaska by the Forestry ser-,
! vice from the funds provided by;
congress until the existing laws are
changed and until war conditions:
are more settled. This will not in
terefere with the road work being
done by the territory or the war de
partment.
‘There are three things which
contribute to he decision not to do
work in Alaska this year,” said
• Captain Waugh. ”In the first place
the existing laws of the territory do
I not allow the territorial boards to
; expend money through the road com
mission. Under the laws of con
gress the forestry fund must oe ex
pended under the direction and
supervision of the road commission,
and the territory must expend an
equal sum through the same source.
Until the law allows the territorial
board to expend money through us
there will be no way in which the
forestry fund can be expended.
“Another factor is the difficulty
in securing labor to work on the
roads, the high wages demanded and
the excessive cost of supplies. A
third factor is the fact that none
of our projects will advance the
cause of the United States in the
present war. In fact, too much
road work will take men from other
work which is of more advantage
to the country at large.
"Until these three conditions are
corrected the forestry money will
be held in the treasury and will not
be spent. At the present time Alas
ka has a credit of $43,000 in the
forestry fund which was to have
been expended this year. On July
Its. this year $46,000 more will be
added and $46,000 per year from
now on for a period of ten years.
The money will be expended in time
but not at present.
"The appropriation for road work
in Alaska for the road commission
has not been made yet and we do
not know how much money will will
have, but we are assured of as much
as we have received in other years.
In addition the territorial boards
will be expending their money, ap
propriated by the last legislature,
which will mean plenty of work this
season.
“While in the south I tried *o
secure two tractors for use in the
Fairbanks section but do not know
whether I succeeded or not. All the
tractor manufacturers are selling
their products in car load lots, cash
paid before they leave the factory.
They almuost refused to talk to me
at all, but finally I made a deal
which will result in the purchase of
two machines for our use.”
SELES HIS CATCH
That one of the finest specimens
>f a silver black fox pelt is now in
Anchorage is the belief of Ben
Goodman, who recently purchased1
t from J. F. Anderson, of Xenana.
Mr. Anderson arrived, over the
rail from Xenana with several fox
tnd lynz skins. The silver black
ox was trapped by Mr. Anderson
n the Tanana valley. Mr. Good
nan has set a value of $450 on the
*lt.
With the purchase of the silver
Jack pelt Mr. Goodman also bought
our red fox skins,one cross fox and
ne lynx skin.

The law in regards to this matter
s that all registrants must call for
