ship Pay Clerk
San Francisco, Dec. 10—Torn from
thr presence of his sweetheart. Wil
liam McDonald, paymaster of the
battleship Missouri, was this morn
ing arrested and is now facing impris
1 onment for desertion. Desire to see
his sweetheart is directly responsible
for the predicament in which McDon
ald finds himself, for he deserted the
Missouri to come here.
McDonald did not tell his sweet
heart that it was necessary for him
I to commit a crime to be near her,
i and she supposed that he was enjoj -
ing leave ot absence. This morning
| they were out fir a stroll, and Mc
Donald. for whom the navy depart

A Tanana paper complaining that a
, veteran has been let out of ofllco up
there, afllnns that he was a preside])-1
j tial elector in Washington in 1RS8 and
voted for Hayes. Inasmuch as Wash
ington was then a territory and had
; no vote for president and Hayes was
not running for that oflice that year
it is to be perceived that the man
who has just lost his job has a re
markable record.

During last winter there came a
deep snow, and we had nothing to
use for elcaning the walks except a
pressed steel shovel. The snow would
not slip from the shovel without a
hard jerk on the shovel handle. Thin
tired me and I began to think of a
remedy, which resulted in taking the
shovel and heating it with hot coals
from the lire. When hot I applied a
wax candle to the surface, covering
it all over. The snow then would
readily slip from the shovel.—From

ROM) COMMISSION
PLANS BIG SEASON
Contract To Furnish Large
Quantity Of Food Supplies
Goes To S, Blum & Co.
That the Alaska road commission is
planning for a busy summer season
on the Valdez-Fairbanks trail is indi
cated by the fact that S. IJlum & Co.
has just been awarded a contract to
furnish a large amount of supplies for
use by tho road commission. The
contract was awarded in Seattle, the
local firm bidding against tho open
market.
While declining to give actual fig
ures at this time, as he has only re
ceived cable notification of the result
of the bidding, Mr. Mum says that
the contract calls for the largest con
signment of s'rictly food supplies ever
to go over the trail. The road com
mission will do its own freighting,
Jack Ingram having charge of the
work. Mr. Ingram is now in Seattle,
whither he went to attend to the de
tails of awarding the contract.
Mr. Blum says that the size of the
contract for food supplies indicates
that the road commission purposes
employing a large number of men
next summer, and it is his opinion
that the work planned will be of ines
timable value to Valdez.
