The origin of the term “Boche”,
meaning a German, has been treat
ed in a thousand articles, and eon-1
troversy has rant'd over it. The
probable origin of the term, how
ever, lies in the Parisian slang word
“caboche,” meaning an ugly head.
A man took two rats, a male and
a female, and paired them together.
He wanted to study their progcner
ation. That was in December. In
September, nine months afterward,
he had 880 rats.

HELD LAST NIGHT
I Nenana Igloo No. 17, Pioneers of
Ahi: ka, held their regular semi
monthly meeting at the Union Hall
j last night. The meeting was called
I to order at K o’clock sharp, there
' being a very good attendance of
; the rr mbers and a few visiting
! brothe
I)r. R. J. Dlven and Messrs F. D.
!Browne and W. A. Ryan were
| elected honorary members of Ne
nana Igloo No. 17.
At the conclusion of the business
meeting, a social session was held
to which a large number of people
who do not belong to the order
were admitted. The chief feature
of the social session was a series
of boxing bouts put on by Pete
Schmidt, the actual participants be
ing the young members of the
Dreamland Athletic club of Nenana.
The first bout was a two-round
go between Sourdough Bill Siverly
of the Koyukuk, and Snowshoe
Johnny Clausen of Wood river,
which ended in a draw. After a
brief rest, Sourdough Bill took on
j Cyclone Johnny Scott of Nenana,
| for another two-round go, which
jalso ended in a draw. Little Ira
Campbell acted as second to the
Koyukuk fighter, while the snow
shoe and cyclone kids acted as each
other’s seconds in turn, when not
actually fighting.
The work of the youngsters was
very good and drew the applause
of the assembly frequently for their
smartness in attack and defense.
The boys have only been in training
for one week, and certainly showed
class. Sourdough Bill demonstrated
the fact that he had plenty of
ginger behind his punch; the Snow-j
shoe Kid was very much adverse to
stalling, and forced the fighting
at all times, while the Cyclone Kid
showed that he had plenty of pep
and was a veritable whirlwind. He
had the honor of landing a good
one on the Koyukuk fighter which
left its mark.
The work of these clever kids
of the Dreamland Athletic club
was remarkably good at every stage
of the game, and the conclusion of
the fighting was followed by a
shower of silver from the appre
ciative audience. It is to be hoped
that Prof. Schmidt will exhibit
these wonders again soon.
Votes were cut on oyster shells
once in Greece, where they were
called “ostraca,” and by such votes
a person might be banished from
the count-y; hence the word “ostra
cized.”
PARTY IS
ENJOYING TRIP
OVER NEW TRAIL
Th Ryan party, enroute to An
chorage via the Broad Pass trail,
would appear to be making good
time and incidentally enjoying the
trip, as evidenced by the following
account, descriptive of the journey
from Maurice ?>Ioreno’s roadhouse at
Riley creek to the Jack river road
house:
Jack River Roadhouse, Jan. 14.
: —From Park Gate, Riley creek, or
| Moreno’s roadhouse to this point,
24 miles, the trail is in fine con
1 dition. The first six miles is
rather heavy going over some very
steep grades, but the trail is well
broken and the snow is just right.
From Park Gate we had three sleds
and teams, having turned one out
fit back at that point. We left
Park Gate at 8 o’clock and made
this point at 4 o’clock. The trail
for eighteen miles follows the Ne
nana and except for several rather
long stretches of glare ice is about
as good as any river trail could be.
We hit about a four-mile gait on
the river and mushed gaily along,
with the thermometer at about 16
above until three o’clock, when a
sudden change of temperature and
I a stiff breeze brought slight dis
! comfort. Pete McDonald mushed
on ahead at noon, disdaining to
stop for luncheon (which caused a
delay of one) and being well in
; advance of the party, flushed a
j covey of ptarmigan of about 24
in number. Charley Ilall employed
the lunch hour to good advantage
, by taking several snap shots of the
i party encamped on the ice in the
middle of the river.
Advices from the Summit, our
next stop, are to the effect that
the trail is in bad condition, owing
to the recent soft spell. The Jack
river has opened in seven places
where the trad crosses and to avoid
long detours it is necessary for us
to cross in about six inches of
water.
D. T. Davis, who runs the road
house at this point, has accommo
dations for about ten persons; he
serves a good meal and those who
come with the trail-sharpened appe
tite will find plently to satisfy it.
Arthur Levine, a trapper and
prospector, is camped here, and re
ports having found good placer in
dications, but was driven out by
water at twenty feet. Fur and game
animals are scarce, and Levine is
about to abandon his camp.
CHARLIE CREAMER
GETS HIS DISCHARGE
In a message to his sister, Miss
Marion Creamer, of Fairbanks,
Charley Creamer, well konwn young
Fairbanksan, says that he has been
dicharged from the army and that
he will hit the trail for the North
pretty soon.
Charley Creamer was one of the
Fairbanks boys who enlisted volun
tarily and went to Camp Dodge,
Iowa with the first Alaska draft
quota.
MRS. MORRELL IS
IMPROVING FAST
Mrs. Morrell, of Fairbanks, who
was operated on recently by Dr.
de la Vergne at Fairbanks, for the
removal of a tumor, and who is now
at St. Joseph’s hospital in Fair
banks, is reported to be improving
rapidly and will soon be able to
leave the hospital.
STAMPEDERS LFAVE
FOR SCENE OF STRIKE
A party of stampeders composed
of Sylvestor Howell, William Eisen
minger and F. D. Browne, Jr., left
Fairbanks yesterday for the re
ported strike at the headwaters of
the Salcha river.
The party traveled by dog team and
took a small outfit along. They
expect to be away for some time.

with Dr. de la Vergne as a pass

the News office shortly after two
o’clock this afternoon, having com
pleted the run from Fairbanks to
Nenana in exactly three hours and
fifty-five minutes.
The run made by Harry Kar

ing about 30 below.
