TRAIN ttV CROSS
43 MILT BRIDGE

I>ate advices received from out
the line indicate that the decking '
of the big bridge across the Nenana 1
river at 43-mile will be completed
today and it is just possible that !
work trains will be able to cross :
the river tomorrow morning.
After the river has been crossed
there remain approximately six
miles of grade to be coverd by
steel ere the Burns mine is reached.
A spur track will run out from
the main line to the tipple at the
mine, a distance of about 1000 feet
s

The grade beyond the bridge and
towards the Burns mine is almost
completed, only a small gap re
mains to be filled in and contractors
are now busy at this work. It is
confidently expected that the gap
will be finished before the rails are
laid for many miles beyond the big
bridge.
The roadbed for the spur track
, leading to the mine tipple has al
I ready been graded and the work of
i laying the track to the mine will
i be very easy of accomplishment.

j Mrs. Howard Goodl’ellow, for
merly of Fairbanks, in a letter to
friends in Nenana, sends a ci'pping
. hum a Butte paper, which gives
'an account of the depth, in action.
■ of Lieutenant Edward B. Schre'ber.
't oung Schreiber was formerly
: connected with the Fa.chunks Times
and worked in the printing depart
Jrrcnt for some time, and was well
,011(1 favorably known in and around
Fairbanks. He left the North for
his h< :.in in 1913.

follows:
Anaconda, Nov. !.—Lieut. Re
ward B. Schreiber, for nearly two
years a chauffeur for Frederick
Laist, manager of the Washoe le
i duction works, was tailed in action
[ on the Western front, according to
a message received this morning by
Mrs. I.aist from her husband, who
is now in New York. The^ word
originally came to the young man’s
father. Dr. H. W. Schreiber of New
York. No further details of his
death were received.
Lieutenant Schreiber, a young
man of exceptional education and
culture, was born in Switzerland
28 years ago, while his parents
were traveling abroad.
His sympathies lay with the
French in their struggle against op
pression by reason of his early
training and education in France,
and shortly before the United States
declared war he enlisted with the
famous French flying corps, the
Lafayette escadrille, receiving a
brief preliminary training at New
port News. Arriving overseas he
served in France until last March,
when he joined the American flying
j corps whn it was formed there, his
ability being recognized by a lieutr !
enant’s commission- Shortly after
ward he was sent to Italy, where
he was signally honored with the
Italian distinguished service order, j
gained for valor under fire. In |
June he returned to France and the i
last letter received from him was!
dispatched from the Western front,
where he was flying at that time.

WINNIPEG Canada.—Plans for
the demobilization of Canada’s 286,
504 overseas troops under a system
intended to meet economic and in
lustrial conditions have been com
pleted and will be put into operation
ivhen withdrawal of the forces is
jonsented to by the high command
After considering available ship
ping facilities and rolling stock in
Canada, the Imperial Ministry of
Shipping and the Canadian War
Board have concluded that the rate
)f return can approximate 20-000
men a month.
Close study of the military and
jconomic phases of demobilization
resulted in a decision to first return
men whose trade classifications
showed there was immediate use for
them in industry. Preference is to
be given married men, the order of
their return to be determined by the
length of time in overseas service.
Then single men will be returned
along the same general lines.
Classification of the troops into
occupational groups by the militia
fepartment was deemed advisable to
meet the requirements of the labor
market in the various districts. To
return the men regardless of their
occupation in civil life and demands
of the labor market in their respect
ive districts would work a hardship
upon them as well as upon industry,
ufliicials decided.
Latest figures list 286,304 as the
number of Canadian troops over
seas. An estimate of how these men
will be distributed among the various
provinces, based on the ratio of en
listment in each province, follows:
Ontario, 121,500; Quebec, 39,500;
New Brunswick, 12,500; Nova Scotia
and Prince Edward Island, 15,600;
Manitoba- 33,500; Saskatchewan,
18,500; Alberta, 21,500; British Col
umbia, 25,500;
The problem of bringing back
from England the wives and families
oF^^fcnadian soldiers, estimated at
35,000 persons, has t 'en placed with
the department of immigration.

TRAINING CAMPS
CAMP CODY.—Troops are leav
ing here for their homes at the
rate of 500 a day. Wrecking crews
are demolishing the temporary
buildings as fast as they are va
cated by the soldiers, and a section
of the barracks is being wrecked
daily. Captain H. J. Cook, of the
quartermaster corps, has a force
of GOO soldiers and 25 civilians at
work destroying the big cantonment
here. Only the mess halls, lat
rins, bath houses and other build
ings that are necessary for the daily
life of the men are being left to the
last. All others are wrecked and
even those which are left standing
are stripped of doors, windows,
harddware and fixtures.
Even the $500,000 septic tank
sewer system is being wrecked.
The materials are being salvaged
from this system and will be avail
able for use at some future time.
Three tanks having a capacity of
200,000 gallons each have been
wrecked, although they were never
used, having just been completed.
All hospital and remuont buildings
are being left intact for the pres
ent.
Many farewell receptions* din
ners and parties are being given
by the officers and enlisted men
before they leave camp. At a ban
quet and reception given by the
headquarters trains, the provost
guards and military police, General
James R. Lindsay made a farewell
address to the men of his command
in these units, telling them that
he had arranged to have all of them
registered and assigned to some
regiment or unit in order that they
might not be carried on the war
department records as ‘unassigned’.
He also gave a fatherly talk to the
men telling them not to forget
what the salute meant and to al
ways conduct thmselves as good
soldiers should. He said universal
military training was sure to come
and they would be in a position to
explain the merits of the plan since
they had experienced a modified
form of that system.

Fred Kiel, who has a fox ranch
at the mouth of the Totatlanika
river- arrived in town yesterday
with a small shipment of the pro
duce of his farm, which, together
with other furs he had trapped in
the neighborhood of his ranch,
made quite a shipment. Th”ship
ment consisted of five very hand
some cross fox skins and fourteen
mink skins. He also sold several
srmine skins locally.
Mr. t Kiel recently lost a female
silver grey fox which managed to
make its escape and it remained
in the wilds for nearly two months.
He noticed her several times prowl
ing about in the neighborhood of
the ranch, and a few days ago he
took this fox in a trap he had set
close to the ranch house.
Mr. Kiel had intended to keep
the animal for breeding purposes,
but in her struggles to get free of
the trap, she had broken her leg in
three places and he was obliged to
kill her. The skin is now on sale
at the ranch.
