WINS ADMIRATION"
Gallantry always is admired by
Iriend and foa
A French aviator, who had done
wonderful KOrk for liis country' i"
the war, received the hearty admira
tioit i f the Germans.
A German aviator, recently kill
ed after some remarkable exploits
in behalf of the Germanic forces,
was m-ide the subject of very rnuoh
honorable meution in France and
England.
Even those who would like to
s'-'j the Deutchland, the remarkable
under.;- a merchantman, fall into the
hands 1t British blockade main
tamers, are jjlad that the mishap
with which that craft met when it
c-'liided with a tug boat just before
striking cut into the ocean bound
for a German port, did not, destroy
the vessel nor cost the lives of any
cu ^e submarine's officers or crew,
al'hough the sinking of the tug
b<a: rtsultedl in, the loss oi five
rnoii.
T••€ Very Jtirmsci navy rncu
.ire w-uhing and waiting for every
chance to capture the Deutchland
or any German vessel like it, would
like tl'o glory ci actually captur
iif ■' rather than having" it destroy
itself by reason of some accident.
C-l>t«in Koeuig o£ the Deutch
1 ad has won very much, admiration
t>v reason of his galantry, his mod
t-s'y and his strict attention to his
..•loi-'.vss, which is that of trying to
convey ^oods from this country to
hi* nation in a vessel .that the
Vmori n governmental authorities
iva decided is strictly deserving; of
rating as a merchantman.
I* the Deutchland is captured en
rou'e to its home port, that fact
will £ive great delight to the op
ponents of Germany, whereas at thi
time they are glad that Captain
Koeuig and his crew did not lose
their lives because of the Demtch
l.tnd's accident.
It" the Deutohlandi is captured
tha* will J>e a very important and
memorable event of war and certain
ly a consummation well worth} try
ing for by the blockading fleets.
HIGH COST OF PROSPECTING
High i rices are simply killing the
X>rcpec«ii.g game in the interior of
Alaska, according to advioees from
Nome. The following btt of infor
mation from one jvho keeps in close
t>uclt with miners and prospectors
on Sews.rd peninsula gives an in
sight in'.o conditions up there.
"High prices are simply kill
ing the prospectors in Nome. With
pewder, fuse and caps away up,
coal never so high, audi provisions
all cut of sight, since the men
with mcney yill not venture, the
time I3 come when the working mac
cannot. The high rates, and high
er prices which excuse themselves
bv reason of the rates, are simply
killing the camp. Prospectors rea
lize that the time is coming when
they must get out of it unless some
thing Is done to remedy matters.
All the prospecting miners advance
the saraee story and say they know
when they are up against it. It
wag for this reason so many left
to take care of their little stakes
on the Umatilla and the Victoria.
Can jou blame them?"
There's not much left for the
pronpccter to do now but go to
work for the munition manutfac
turers»

NAiNCfY LYNCH,
Fifth Grade.
The eighth grade Monday after
noon had a very interesting debate
the subject being—That Slavery
Was a Moral, Social, Industrial
and Political EvU to the South.
The 9'h and 10th grade were the
judges, and it was decided fry
them, that the affirmative put up
the best arguments, although there
were very good facts quoted by
tho negative's.
The following are the magazines
tiia* the school has been; receiving
for the past year:
St. Nicholas
Youth's Companion
Current Events
Uccd Housekeeping
American Boy
Popular Mechanics
Modern Priscilla
Normal instructor.
The Parent Teacher Association,
through their kindness, have or
dered them for another year.
Before Ep-pie came Into the life
of Silas Warner, his very being
■centered around his gold and his
eyer increasing desire far that, but
now it was centered in a human
that could Teflect Ms love.
Thru Eppie he was Jjroudht into
contact with the general town peo
ple and no longer thought of as a
•'crairy miser,"whereas before he
ooily spoke when it was absolutely
necessary.
Silas' house had been just mere
ly a n!ace to exist in but now it
was a home.
He had forgotten the old family
t;es, but Ep>pie constantly brought
them to memory, especially- 'hose of
his little sis'er.
Ills eeem'ngly cold, hard heart
no-v softened as the parental love
gradually revealed i'self.
"In the old days there? we're angels
who camc and took men by; the hand
aw* led them away from the city of
destruction. We see no white
win red angels now. But yet men,
are led away from that threatening
destruction: a hand1 is out into)
'heirs, which l^ads them forth gent
ly tcwerds a calm and bright land,
so that they look no more backward
and the hand may be a little
child's."

(a I-lte Trying to Get Rid of Dandrafi
Without Herplclde.
Did you ever see any one trying to
wash themselves without soap or
water?
If you did what would you say of
him?
It Is every bit as foolish to try to get
rid of Dandruff and to prevent Bald
ness by reeding the germs which cause
It. with Canthrarlde.s. Vaseline. Glycer

the principal Ingredients of most so

CASH WAS GETTING
SHOUT AT NENANA
Nenana—J. Casson Williams, as
sistant disbursing officer of the
Alaskan Engineering Commission,
with, headquarters at Fairbanks, ar
rived here the morning' of Novem
ber 1, with $15,000 in) gold and
currtfticy brought ton the purpose of
,»aying off the employes of the com
mission for their work during the
mon til of October and to alleviate
the general cash shortage here.
The money; arrived at an opportune
lime, as it was next to> impossi'biee
to cash a check in amy of the mer
cantile houses in town, or at com
mission heoadquartars here, ow
ing to the prevalent shortage of
cash. In fact, practically all of
the mercantile bouses found, them
selves stacked up withe the En
gineering commission checks at
♦be close o£ navigation, the cask
biaving ail been carried away by
those w!ho cashed the checks.
Mr. Williams left Fairbanks on
Monday. He madee the tri» with
the N. P. Anderson stage line, which
was making its first trip of the
season. The trail between Fair
banks and Nenana is reported to be
fairly good, witty the exception of
the open sloughs and creeks.
