DEVICE FOR CHAII
Charles H. Dickson, who works i
the Terminal Cigar store, some tim
ago invented a device for fixin
onto any ordinary chair so as t
allow of it being titled back to ai
easy and comfortable position. Th
device is a simple and inexpensiv
one and is so constructed that i
could be fitted on to any chair ii
a few moments. This allows th
sitter to tilt the chair back by oi
dinary pressure on the back of th
chair, to any desired angle for hi
comfort without risk of falling clea
back, while at the same time tha
part of the device that fastens 01
the fore part of the chair afford
•a comfortable rest for the feet.
Mr. Dickson has just received
letter from Mann & Co., of Wash
ington, D. C., informing him tha
they have secured a patent for hi
chair attachment, and it is probabl
that he will have some of these de
vices built for use in Nenana.
Mr. Dickson has also had severs
flattering offers for the outrigh
purchase of his patent, but he ha
not yet decided on whether he wil
sell it.
One of Mr. Dickson’s devices at
tached to an ordinary chair may b
seen at the Nenana club rooms.

I FIERY STEED EARNS MONEY
FOR THE RED CROSS
Great credit is given to pony
owned by Mitchell & Blankfield for
doing his utmost.
t
Everyone is acquainted with the
little black pony, who with his mate,
draws the express wagon for Mit
chell & Blankfield, as he no doubt
has hauled something for you at
some time, for that is the way he
earns a living for his owner.
He is a willing worker at all
times, but never before has ho
worked so willingly and patriotically
as on the fifth of July, when with
several other horses, he agreed to
show his real spirit as a Red Cross
worker. He knew that if he beat
the others he would have the honor .
of donating $25 to the Red Cross,
and it took no urging from Dick \
Morris, his rider, to make him real- !
ize his mission.
1 i Those who didn’t see the race !
: | missed the opportunity of seeing
- j this horse use real horse sense, when
; ! he nosed ahead of the bay horse !
5 I and reached the stand just far
i J enough ahead to be able to collect
C ; $25, which was turned over to the
l | Red Cross. Many thanks to him.
5j It will help to feed horses at the '
' front—Just as we are helping to
l feed the boys at the front, by do
-1 ing our utmost; which will carry
t the Stars and Sripes to victory. !
? YANKEES START CRUSADE
AGAINST TRENCH FEVER
j PARIS.—Steps have been taken
11 to prevent the breeding of lice in
s | the zones of the Allied armies, in 1
j j order to stop the spread of trench j
fever. This malady has taken first !
rank in incapacitating the soldiers
, of modern armies, as typhoid and
malaria fever did in other wars.
The fight against the louse re-:
suits from the finding of the Ameri
can Research Committee, headed by
Major R. P. Strong, which con
curred with the medical authorities!
of the British armies in convicting
the louse of transmitting trench ,
fever to soldiers.
“Delousing units” have been form- i
i ed and a system of disinfecting the |
| clothing of men returning from the
trenches has been put in operation
If you saved a slice a day, eat

GAME WARDEN IS
BACK PROM TRIP
Game Warden Steve Foster Arrives
From Extended Trip In the
Minchumina Country.
Returning from a lengthy trip to
the Lake Minchumina country. Game
Warden Steve Foster reached town,
yesterday evening. He left Nenana
on the 19th of June, travelling on
a gasoline launch with Clarence
Boatman, the owner of the launch,
as companion.
The party went up the Kantishr.a
river and across the big lake, pene
trating sixteen miles up a creek j
that empties into the big lake on the |
south side of it. The wa^r was at!
a very high stage when the launch '
left Nenana and Mr. Foster states1
that the water in the lake country j
was said to be the highest ever ^
known in the recollection of thq,
oldest Indian inhabitant in the lake :
region.
Owing to the abnormally heavy
snowfall of last winter, it is said
that the vast herds of caribou were
driven down to the flats in the
neighborhood of Lake Minchumina
in the spring it was a very rare
sight to see them here at this seasoi^
of the year, as they generally keep
to the hill country in the spring of
the year.
Camped on the north shore of
Lake Minchumina were Claude Har
rison and Einjar Kamasgaard, who
had been hunting and trapping in
the hill country overlooking the lake
last winter. Claude Harrison is a
grandson of former President Har
rison, and was, for a time, with En
gineer Chandler’s location party.
Mr. Foster took him his question
naire papers, as he had no other
means of getting them. Harrison
left immediately on a 125-milif
mush for the Kantishna country,
to have his questionnaire fixed up,
but as the Kantishna commissioner
is at Nenana at present, it is prob^
able that Harrison will come o’^
here.
Harrison told Foster that he and
his partner were planning for a
hunting and trapping season for the
coming winter and they were then
getting ready for it. The ques
tionnaire may make a difference in
Harrison’s plans and his partner may
have to trap alone.
During Mr. Foster’s sojourn in the
Lake Minchumina country it was
reported by some Indians returning .
to the village from a hunting trip
that there was a party of men and
two women prospecting in the coun
try adjacent to the North Fork of
the Kuskokwim river. The report
said that they were from the Ruby
district and had a prospecting boiler
with them.
Another large party of men and
women wer also said to be pros
pecting in the country between
Mounts McKinley and Foraker,
within the limits of the McKinley
National park. They are reported
to have come in from the Susitna
country. ,
The game was as plentiful as ever
in the lake country and in . the sur
rounding districts, and Mr. Foster
was able to take several pictures of
moose at close quarters.
The mosquitoes, however, he says,
are not nearly as bad in the lake
region as they are along the Tanana
river.
Mr. Foster left the lake on the
morning of the 4th of July, trav
elling down in the same gasoline
launch that took him up. At the
time he left the lake the water was ,
still at a very high stage. At the
Toklat he met Jimmy Heaney, who
was on his way in to the Kantishna
country. The weather was fine all
the way through, except for about
five days immediately preceeding
the Fourth of July, when intermit
tent showers were experienced.
We have to put every ounce of
jffort behind the men behind the
pins.

MEXICANS ARE RAISING
WHEAT SOUTH OF BORDER
JUAREZ, Mex.—“Mexicans in the
north are raising less deviltry and
more wheat” was (he way an Ameri
can mining man who reached here
recently from a tour of the interior
of Chihuahua state charcterized the
conditions in Northern Mexico. In
the fertile Laguna basin near Tor
reon, wheat has been planted instead
of cotton this year, because of the
ravages of the pink boll weevil in
that district last year, which de
stroyed the cotton croo.
In the valleys near Santa Rosalia.
Jimenez and Pilar de Cocho, the
native farmers have been harvesting
their wheat crops and have found
the yield much heavier than in for
mer seasons. Along the Rio Grande
and Conchos rivers in the Ojinaga
district wheat harvests have been
bounteous and the farmers in that
district are prosperous. At Jimenez
the old Hacienda Dolores mill, wlrch
was used as a fortress during the
revolutions, has been started to
grinding grain and the water power
mills near Santa Rosalia are . gain
operating after five years of idle
ness. U ttr
YOUNG GERMAN FIGHTERS
AMONG PRISONERS 1 aKEN
WITH THE AMERICANS.—Ger
man youths of the 1019 class. >»ho
were serving in thirty divisions of
the German army, are among the
prisoners who have been captured
within the month. Information
shows that men of th;s class are at
the front in still other di\isions
It is known that these young men
are placed in the regiments in pro
portion of ten to each company and
that they are called upon in larger
proportion as reinforcements to re
place the men lost in battle. They
were sent to the front generally
after only five months of training,
owing to the haste of the German
preparations for the present great
offensive on the Western front.
Foods that may be substituted for
sugar are raisins, maple syrup, corn
syrup, sorghum and molasses.
