SOLDIERS TO BE CURED
THROUGH DREAMS
LONDON.—Curing nerve shat
tered soldiers through their dreams
is the latest experiment of the Brit
ish army medical corps, and ac
► cording to Captain M. Culpin, it is
succeeding beyond all expectations.
“In the method I adopt,” Dr.
Culpin says , “the patient relates the
dream to me. I question him about
it and if the underlying memory
is not deeply blurred this question
ing may recall it, and it is only
necessary to insist upon the man
* talking about the incident.
“Next I make the patient close
his eyes and visualize the dream
1
! and I try to ascertain what par
! ticular feature causes emotion. By
; dwelling on this feature I induce
| an emotional state and assure him
that he felt like that before and
: that memory is coming up.
“When success is attained there
i is a sudden change of facial ex
pression or even an access of terror.
By this I know I have reached the
true cause of the dream. The
merest scrap of a dream suffices.”
H. Kalgar left Fairbanks on a
Gibson auto this morning, enroute
to the Texas oilfields. He is an
oldtimer of the upper camp.

Wedding bells will ring tonight
at the Roberts cottage, at Second
and B streets, the future home of
Mrs. Lowella Morrison and Herman
B. Rosburg, who are to be united
in marriage at ten oclock by Robert
Joseph Diven, in the presence of a
large gathering of friends. The
wedding promises to be one of the
most elaborate social affairs in the
history^ of the town and the number
of invitations, issued threatens to
seriously tax the capacity of the
cottage.
Announcement of the wedding
plans does not come exactly in the
nature of a surprise to the many
friends of the contracting parties,
since it has been suspected for
some time that they were planning
a voyage on the sea of matrimony.
The marriage will be the culmina
tion of a courtship extending over
a period of more than a year.

YANKS” ONLY
FRIENDS, SAYS
ENGLISH BOY
LONDON.—American airmen who
befriended and made a mascot of a
bright curly-haired English boy
named George Loveridge, will be
grieved to learn that the lad had
a hard time of it after they re
turned to the United States. Charged
with sleeping under a hayrick and
having no visible means of support,
the youth was arraigned in the Uk
bridge police court recently.
“Well, my boy,” questioned the
court, “haven’t you any friends at
all?”
“Only the Yanks, sir,” the pris
oner replied.
He said his father and mother
were killed and their house wrecked
by a bomb in an air-raid in October,
1917.
“Some American airmen,” he
went on, “took pity on me and
called me the mascot of No. 186tn
squadron. They treated me very
kindly, gave me a uniform and took
me with them wherever they went.
I was paid $10 a month by the
paymaster. When the • squadron
went to France they wanted to take
me, but the war office woudn’t let
them, so they asked No. 153d
squadron to take care of me. When
that left for France I was handed
over to No. 228th squadron and
came with them to Northolt.
“Now they have returned to
America. They tried right hard to
take me, but the government said
I couldn’t go for four years. I
spent all my money and had to
sleep under the hayrick.”
In handing the boy over to the
police court missionary, the magis
trate said: “You must not mind
being in the dock. You haven’t
done anything very wrong.”
MANY FRENCH TOWNS
CANNOT BE RESTORED
PARIS.—Investigations by the
commission which is examining the
devastated regions of France are
confirming the previous evidence that
many of the beautiful towns and
hamlets of the battle area are so
totally ruined that they never can
be rebuilt.
Vaux, of immortal fame, has taken
its place in the long list, and the
mayors of two other historic villages,
Dououmont and Fleury, have re
cently notified their people, who are
refugees in various parts of France,
that these places cannot be re
claimed. Not only is the soil is
such shape that it cannot be culti
vated for many years, but the ruined
hamlets are filled with hidden ex
plosives and other dangers.

ARGONAUTS SI
TO SEARCH FOR
FABULOUS WEALTH
SAN FRANCISCO.—There sailed
out of San Francisco bay recently
a little company of thirty men
whose ship now is pointing toward
the Arctic seas. Gold is the age
old lure which inspired this ad
venture, ' which means cold and
loneliness and discomfort; possibly
hunger and death.
The schooner Casco is the vessel
which is bearing the treasure seek
ers northward, and in her cabin
Robert Louis Stevenson once wrote
many a romance which these mod
ern argonauts are likely to par
allel. The ship’s company includes
men who have delved in the earth
in all parts of the world. On
them will devolve the operations re
quired in mining. Men who have
sailed the seven seas are on board,
and they will see to the navigation.
Then there are men who have been
successful bankers and businessmen.
To several of the later, rated weli j
fixed in the matter of worldly i
goods, the adventure impelled rather
than any prospect of financial re
turn. But all thirty are share
holders in the Northern Mining and
Trading company.
xl anuuici aiuxy ui a aearcu '
for a rich mining area where gol I!
nuggets may be picked off the sur
face of the earth and where the
ledges are incrusted with the pre
cious ore. The location is a secret. !
L. S. McGirk, a mining engineer.!
who has worked in the earth from j
Panama to Nome, is at the head j
of the party. His office is the i
musty little cabin in which Stev
enson worked. The battered old
desk on which Stevenson wrote still
is in the cabin, splotched by ink
stains from his pen.
It is reported the adventure that.
led to the new voyage of the Casco
was thrust on the man that found
untold wealth in the Arctic, when
he and other members of the crew
of a poaching sealer were chased
by a Japanese cutter, and their
small boat was wrecked.
He was starving when natives
found him. But he forgot his hun
ger as his eyes rested on gold that
fairly seeped through the earth.
Without equipment, he says, he re
turned to civilization with gold
worth thousands of dollars.
McGirk and others heard the
story. Adventurers banded to
gether, each providing his share of
the estimated expenses. Some of
the thirty sold all they had to get
monev for the venture. Others, like
*
Albin Johnsin, secretary of the j
corporation, and Emanuel Johnson. J
the vice president, had found much j
gold in Alaska and are rich enough j
to buy a dozen mines.
More than 500, McGirk says. I
had the money and the desire to
go. But no man was chosen unless
he Jcnew something of mining. Cap
tain C. L. Oliver, the navigator, is
not so much a miner as a seaman
Lieutenant Corbett Bland, who has
been stationed at the Presidio for
two years, is one of the thirty.
Then there is “Pat.” Pat is a
dog of the North, possibly a Russian
wolf hound. He was picked up at
the city pound. His great-grand
parents tracked through the snow
of the Arctic.
NEXT ACADEMY DANCE
SATURDAY, JUNE 14
Mrs. Belle Campbell, director of
the Nenana Dancing Academy, wish
es to announce that the next dance
to be given by the academy will be
held at the Union Hall on Saturday
night, June 14, at the usual hour.
The support received at this dance
will determine whether or not they
shall be continued during the sum
mer months.
The dancing academy has filled
a long felt want in Nenana and
helped in a large measure to pro
vide distraction and amusement to
Nenanaites during the dull periods,
and it is hoped that due encourage
ment w-ill be forthcoming so that
the dances will be held periodically
during the summer.

BAWSOX, Y. T.—Klondike busi
ness men are considering asking
the Canadian government to look
into a proposal for the construction
of a railroad into Dawson from
Southern Canada, thus giving the
Klondike country an “All Canada”
route from the outside world. Traf
fic into Dawson section now crosses
a twenty mile stretch of Alaska
between Skagway and Whitehorse,
Y. T.
The railroad plans were laid be
fore the Yukon Development League
recently. Proposals have been made
that the line connect in the south
with some Canadian transcontinental
railroad and then run north, touch
ing at Whitehorse, Atlin and other
southern Yukon valley points.
Although the road probably would
cost millions, it is said it would
open a great undeveloped country
belived to be rich in copper, silver
and timber.
