KEROSENE CAN EXPLODES
WOMAN IS BADLY BURNED
ANACORTES, Wn, Dec. 17.—Mrs.
Ned Wilson is in the hospital here
suffering from bad burns about the
head, face, shoulders and chest, but
hope is entertained for her recovery.
Yesterday morning she started the
kitchen fire with kerosene, when the
can exploded, setting her clothing
ablaze. Her screams brought her
daughter, who tore the clothing from
her and put out the flames, but not
until she was dangerously burned.

ALASKAN TRIP
DESCRIBED BY
SEWARD VISITOR
(Continued from Page Six)
road track in returning from Fair
banks to Seward. The reindeer and
caribou meat are served in all eat
ing places in Alaska and compares
favorably with our meats in the
states. From Seward we took the
Alaska Steamship company’s boat,
named the Alaska for Seattle, Wn.
The boats make this run Seward to
Seattle in about eight days.
Upon arriving at Seattle we took
the Northern Pacific road to San
Francisco, Cal., the Southern Pacific
from there to Los Angeles, the Santa
Fe from there to Williams, Ariz.,
where we made a stop to see the
Grand Canyon of Arizona. No words
or pictures could describe this mag
nificent sight. Nine miles wide at
its nearest place, 29 miles wide at
other places and more than 200
miles long, and over a mile deep.
Think of how many Uniontowns you
could put into it and not see it. Of i
course, you could not put Masontown
in and if you could, you would not
be able to hold her in. After leav
ing here, we returned to Chicago
and home.
If this article was not already too
long I would try and give you some
of the principal industries of Alaska.
A great many of the people of the
states seem to have the impression
that Alaska is nothing but moun
tains, ice bergs and glaciers. Far
from it. Alaska is one-third as large
as the whole United States. Prac
tically all the fish that is eaten in
the United States come from Alaska.
The most of our copper, silver and
gold is mined and shipped from
Alaska.

ONE YEAR ENLISTMENTS
IN ARMY HELD FAULTY
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 17.—
Army objections to the law requiring
that one year enlistments be accept
ed if the recruit prefers that term
i rather than a three-year “hitch,” are
reiterated in the annual report of
Major General Robert C. Davis, ad
jutant general, made public today.
Experience has “demonstrated con
clusively the undesirability” of such
enlistments, the report declares, al
though congress failed to take action
on bills to remedy the situation sub

mitted during the last session.
“The service of a one-year man
can seldom be utilized to advantage
in the training of others,” General
Davis pointed out, “for the reason
that he himselfxhas not become suf
ficiently well trained for the pur
pose. Neither are these short term
men available for service in over
seas garrisons because of the time
necessarily lost in transporting
them.”
The actual army strength on No
vember 30 was 140,000, but the aver
age number for which pay was pro
vided during the year was 118,000.
