AIRPLANE SPRUCE SUPPLY '
SHORT; SITUATION' ACUTE
Another acute situation faces the
American government: scarcity of
spruce for airplane building. One
hundred and fifty million feet is
i needed at home at once; ally con
tracts for September called for 69,
000,000 feet, and the spruce is
not ready. The logs are not being
pu* in toe water and the coming of
winter diminishes the chances for in
creased output. Strikes, inefficient
l£»i>cr, and the peculiar difficulties
of obtaining spruce are forcing an
issue. Because the Northwest pro
duces almost all of the country's
spruce the problem hinges here.
'/he necessity of airplalnea to
win the war is generally conceded j
and the United States government
must supply th$ spruc«.

A new class in surgical dressings
way organized Saturday afternoon.!
This means that there will be four
meetings a week hereafter for the
makicg of gauze dressings. Ev
ery woman in Skagway is urged to
give as much of her time as possible
to this work . There is an imme
diate necessity on the battlefronts
for these articles, jit lies within
the power of every woman in Skag
way to make dressings enough to
save the lives of a number of
soldiers. Surely It la worth the
effort. (Major Grayson H. P. Mur
phy sent the following message
from France:
"Red Cross standard dressings
iu millions must be sent with all
possible speed; if not done imme
diately a serious calamity is inevit
able. American women must pre
pare with all possible speed
dressings which are going to mean
life or deatfc to our men."
The knitting class meets Tuesday
afternoons at which time Mrs. J. W.
Shearer distributes yarn and in
structs the beginners. A 6hipmeut
of knitted articles will be made on
Nov. 27th if ther© are enough fin
ished to warrant it. So now let the

RESTRICTED
DISTRICT TO
STAY CLOSED
Promising to lead respectable
lives and to clooe up tight the re
stricted district iu Skagway, and
with the promise on. the part of
Es.ie Miller to never again rent her
property in Skagway for immoral
purposes, Judge Rasmuson, yester

o'clock, 8»ntenced each one of the
women convicted in the commission
er's court of bootlegging tQ pay a
fine ranging from $25 and costs to
$200 and costs. In addition to the
above promises the women havq
agreed to leave town,
Steve Ragan, acting as advisory
consul tr the defendants, said he
had been a court reporter for some
time and had been a practicing at
torney for a number of years, and
the sentences pronounced by Judge
Rasmuson were, to his mind, very
reasonable and just, and compliment
ad tbo judge upon his action.
Tb only woman remaining In the
restricted district who escaped the
bootlegging charges has agreed to
leave town when the others go.
Sentence was pronounced upon
I«. F. Greene later in the day and
he was fined $100 and costs. In
dividual costs, representing jury
fees, witness fees, supoena fees,
ptc., range from $19.20 to $54.95.

Miller $.200 and costs. Nora

HOLD EAGLE
Clyde A. Thompson, postmaster
or Eagle has been arrested on a
charge of embezzlemnt, and bound
over to the grand Jury on bail In
t'e sum of $6,000.
Charles Riddleford, a postal in
spector, and Arthur Paisley an in
spector, both of Spokane, Washing
ton, made the complaint against
Thompson.
The inspectors who acted in the
case came to Eagle September 21,
and Immediately upon arrival there
went to make an investIgattlon of
the office. After the inspection the
jjos'master was charged by the in
spectors with being short of funds
to the amount of $6,000. The
charge of embezzlement was made
before the commissioner at Eagle
by Riddeford and Paisley, and
the defendant waived the right of
securing counsel and refused to give
any statement in court.
Friends of Thompson say they
are sure there must be some mis
take, as it sems almost an imposei
bili'y in. a town of the size of Eagle
for a man to collect postoffice funds
to the amount of $6,000.
mm active
There is considerable activity in
the new town of Nenana this fall. A
school house is being constructed
at a cost of $8,000 and it is ex
pected that school will start some

to a statement just issued by the
Alaskan Engineering commission. Am
election was held in Septmeber, un- i
der the law enacted by the last ,
Alaska leigslature, and active steps
are being taken by the school board
to start the school.
The necessary water and sewer
pioes have been received and both
the water and sewer Bystem are
now in the course of installation.
The water system will be laid
lu both the business and residence
districts in Nenana, and in addi
tion to supplying the town with
water for domestic purposes, will
also be used for fire protection.
The sewer system is being in
stalled in the business district be
tween Maia and Market streets.
It is expected to have both sys
tems installed before the freezing
weather sets in, ' | ! ' II | i'
