MILITARY NOW HAS
SPECIAL POLICEMEN
With the American Army, France.
—There has just been organized in
the American Expeditionary Forces
a special force called the Military
Police Corps. It will perform the
duties heretofore discharged by the
traffic police, headquarters guards
and other similar organizations. The
strength of the new corps is not
fixed, but it is not to exceed a cer
tain percentage of all the troops in
the American army, both combatant
and non-combatant. It starts with
three lieutenant colonels, eleven
majors and eighty-eight captains,
and has its own training depot.
TRUCKS ARRIVE FOR USE
ON VALDEZ-FAIRBANKS TRAIL
Two Jeffrey-Quad trucks arrived
at Valdez on a recent steamship
from the States, to be used by John
Brauer, the mail contractor for the
mail service between Chitna and
Fairbanks. These trucks have wheels
with rims 18 inches in width, and
will make the trail smoother than
before they pass over. Mr. Brauer
was accompanied by his brother, W.
C. Brauer, who will assist him in the
work.
All supplies and feed for his
horses to be used this winter will
be taken over the trail from Valdez.

DON’T BE A SLACKER
Patriotic ladies of Nenana are
requested to help in mending some
of the garments which have been
donated by the peoble of Nenana for
the use of the destitute Belgians.
The garments will be found in the
Grace Presbyterian church, which
will be open all the time for the
purpose of having the things mended
Those who are willing to help
in this good cause are requested
to bring their own mending needles
etc., and go to the church at any
time that may be convenient to
them.
Efforts are being made to ship
the articles donated on the next
boat, which will be the last of the
season, and the need for mending
the articles needing such attention
is therefore very urgent.

C. D. Ross, of the News-Miner
staff, met with a serious accident
Sunday morning and now lies in &
critical condition in St. Joseph’s hos
pital. He was riding a motor cycle
and when at the corner of Third
and Barnette street, seems to have
lost control of the machine and
crashed into the X. C. truck, stand
ing near at the time. He was in
jured in the region of the heart,
several rigs were broken and me
of the ribs is said to have broken
off and injured the veins around
the heart.
Fred Switzer, a well known Fair
banksan, who has been on the Out
side for the past year, is on his
way to Fairbanks from the States.
He writes that owing to the big
prices prevailing on the Outside, it
is impossible to live as well as he
used to in Alaska. He says that it,
is absolutely impossible to make any
money on the Outside and that con
ditions are a whole lot better in1
Alaska.
George Milich, who was convicted j
of selling booze in Nenana and'
sentenced to serve a jail sentence1
in lieu of the fine imposed, made!
his escape while working at the de-;

The guard, Tobias Flieschman, took;
three shots at him, but failed to |
stop him. Search parties found his
clothes on the river bank near
Buzby’s ranch. No further traces
of him have been discovered.

on board, was accidentally over- j
turned a little way out of town:

WASTE IS CUT
AT AMW CAMP
AT CAMP LEWIS
CAMP LEWIS.—Waste has been
practically eliminated at Camp
Lewis. There was a time when rub
bish and much of the camp garbage
was burned in a great fire kept
burning outside the camp limits.
Now most of this matter is saved
and used.
The best way to tell of the sav
ing is to begin with the large gar
bage cans that are to be seen out
side the mess halls. These cans are
marked “bread”, coffee grounds”,
“bofies”, etc., and ill betide the sol
dier on kitichen police who puts
potato parings into the bones or
otherwise is careless. If he does
the can comes back and he is com
pelled to separate the two.
Each day the cans are sent to the
camp incinerating plant. There the
bread, scraps from plates, and gar
bage, which consists of parings, I
green trimmings and things of like,
nature are sent to a large hog farm
eleven miles from camp and fed
to the pigs. This totals three to six
truckfuls a day.
The fats and bones are sent to
Xisqually, where the fats are turn
ed into oils and the bones into fer
tilizer. The unreclaimable matter
is burned.
Just beyond the camp incinerator
is another reclamation institution.
Here is handled the waste paper
old magazines, bottles, tin cans and
old rubber scraps.
As the bottles are brought in they
are sorted into different grades and
sizes and eventually sold. The paper
is put into large presses and baled.
Forty to fifty tons of paper are
• shipped and sold each month. Tin
from tin cans likewise is pressed
into masses averaging 42 pounds in
weight and then sent to the rolling
mills when a melting process re
claims the tin and solder, the bal
ance going into cast iron. No esti
mate has yet been made of the cash
value of the projects.
