CLOSER BUSINESS TIES ]
BETWEEN JAPAN AND U. S. '
TOKIO.—The appointment of a ]
special business commissioner to the (
United States for the purpose of
promoting closer economic relations (
between Japan and America has. <
been recommended by the Tokio ,
Chamber of Commerce. ]
It is understood that the Japanese
merchants in the United States and
the business men interested in Jap- s
anese trade are anxious to have an (
effective medium for cementing
closer relations. The idea of ap-|:
jointing a business commissioner,
rho would represent Japanese busi
less interests, is the outcome of the
ecent visit of the Japanese financial
ommission headed by Baron Megata.
A plan to establish a Japanese
Chamber of Commerce in the United
States and to organize an American
Japanese bank is also being studied
lere.
Royal R. Douse will leave on the
teamer Tanana tomorrow for Fort
Jibbon to join Uncle Sam’s troops
’or serivce in France. He is bound
’or Berlin, he says.

DAMAGE IS DONE
BY FOREST FIRE
SOUTH OF TOWN
Near 20-Mile and Between
Residencies 3 and 4.
Reports received from out the
line indicate that a forest fire in a
lareg scale is raging in the neigh- :
borhood of the old right of way'
near 20-mile and men have betr.'
1 sent to watch the property of the J
A. E. C. still remaing on the old «
right of way in the neighborhood '
of the fire.
It is thought that the fire was
started by some one of the clear- j'
ing contractors on the new D line,1
as indicated by the direction of the
fire. The fire here is said to have :
affected a very large area for a
distance of about four miles,
j Forest fires reported in the neigh- ’
borhood of Residency 3 (35-mile) |
are said to be in the woods on the
hillsides overlooking the camp. He:b
I Wilson, who is at present working
! on a clearing contract, has beer, j
j notified of the fire here and will
| probably leave for 35-mile, t here
he has a house and homestead on
the plateau about a mile from the j
enginering camp at Residency 3.
At several places between the
camps at 35-mile and 43-mile, fires j
are reported and according to a \
; statement made by a recent arrival
j from south of the line, several
' bridges and much of the corduroy [
! work on the wagon road between (
ithese two camps are on fire. The'
; bridges have been completely burned
out, making it impossible for freigh*
ing until they have been replaced
The worst seems to be over now i
| and it is expected that the A. E. C. J
! will take steps to repair the damage 1
done, and that traffic will soon b»?
resumed.
! I
Two More Men of the Engineerini
Staff of the A. E. C. Hare
Been Inducted Now.
Kenneth Case, resident engineei
| in charge of residency 4 (43-mile)
and his assistant, Ralph Darling
have received notification from theii
! local boards that they have beei
inducted into the service under th<
^ selective service regulations, ant
■ will probably leave for the Outsidt
j in a few days.
I Both these gentlemen have made
application to join one of the en
; gineering regiments now in course
i of formation for serivce at the front
and have taken up the matter with
; their respective local boards, with
! a view to getting transferred to such
i regiment, and they expect to have
definite instructions regarding this
matter in the course of a few days.
Both of these registrants have
| been notified that their inductions
will go into effect on the 24th of
I the pressent month. Kenneth Case
has been drafted by the Seattle
Local Board and Ralph Darling by
the North Yakima Local Board.

mi ARRIVAL
FROM FT. GIBBON
MEF OUR BOYS
Alaska Registrants Now in the
Service of Uncle Sam Are
Getting On Nicely.
A recent arrival in town from
ranana states that having a lot of
;pare time on his hands while there,
te visited the boys at the army
>ost in Fort Gibbon.
All of them were in uniform and
ippeared to be more than satisfied
vith their lot, and despite the very
diort time in which they have had
nilitary training, they had a soldiery
•arriage and bore themselves well,
rhey have taken kindly to soldiering
ind are rapidly becoming very pro
ficient in their military duties.
They are all loud in their praises
>f the treatment meted out to them
5y the officer commanding and their
brothers in arms, who, they said are
loing all they can to impart a
:horough military training to them
:o fit them to meet and defeat the
Hun when the time came.
The all absorbing topic, of course,
is the trip Outside to one of the!
?reat training camps, where they •
will get the finishing touches to!
their military education, and then !
the trip to Berlin via the French
battlefields.
Nothing appears to be definitely
known regarding their future move
ments, but they all expect to be sent [
Outside in the near future.
They are looking forward with I
eager anticipation to the arrival at'
Fort Gibbon of the next contingent. I

MAN FROM TANANA
MEETS WITH ACCIDENT ,
Sam Heeter, a well known resi
dent of Tanana, started out with his 1
wife, bound for Rampart in his I
motor boat a few days ago.
When nearing his destination, the
engine went dead and while at
tempting to crank her up the engine
kicked back with the result that Sam
sustained a badly wrenched wrist. I
He managed to get the engine
started, however, and immediately
turned back downstream for Tanana
and medical treatment. His wrist
was much swollen on arrival at the
army town and it was not known
at the time the News’ informant
left Tanana, whether or not Sam’s
wrist was broken. He was in much
pain all the way down river. |.
Charles W. Thrift arrived yester
lay from Fairbanks and signed on
