Harry Beach, Caught
On Trail, Has Narrow
Escape From Freezing
Nenana News.
Harry Beach, well known old-timer,
who left Nenana for the Chandlar dis
trict last fall, was brought in from the
Faith Greek roadhouse this week, with !
a badly frozen foot, and it is feared |
that he will lose several toes. The J
story related is that Beach was headed J
for Fairbanks with his dog team, and
arriving late? at the Berry dredge, with
himself and his dogs weary and cold,
sought shelter for fche night. He is re
ported to have been told that he would
find a roadhouse only 1* miles distant,
and, rather than force himself upon a
reluctant host, Beaeb set out for the
next stopping place. It was 47 below
cero and hard going, aad the dogs
finally gave out aDd had tse be so
hitched from the sled. It also became
loo dark for travel, and the old’timer
siwashed the remainder of the night, j
arising next morning cold and hungry. ■
He set out again for the Twelvemllej
house, but had to rest frequently, and |
even after he had come within sight of.
the roadhouse he was too weary to re-:
spoiad to the gladdening vision. Luck
ily the roadhouse tnan saw him as he
sat sprawled on the trail, and rushed
to his assistance. He was then freez
ng rapidly, and but. for the timely ar-j
rival of aid undoubtedly would have
perished. As it was, it required beroio
uKasures- to draw the frost out, only
one foot remaining in bad condition
when the thawing .process had been
concluded. Beaeh was later taken to
Faith Greek roadhouse, where he re
ceived the care of a trained nurse, aDd
where he remained until Ed Bartlett
came along and brought him to the
hospital.

All Presidents Prior
to Harding Charged
With ‘Neglect of Duty’
Washington.—A saving of $90,000,
000 lias been effected in Government
expenditures during tho last six months
by transfer of departmental activities,
it was declared Friday by Brig. Gen.
Daves, director of the budget.
General Dawes, in on address here,
charged the Government had lost many
times ’ his sum in past years by failure
to organize a budget system. He
charged all presidents prior to Hard
ing with “neglect of duty'' for failing
to do so.
In stressing the importance of cen
tral command, he declared that Great1
Britain had cost the Allies hunureds i
of thousands of lives and billions of
dollars in property damages by refus
ing a central command during the
first four years of the world war.
“It was only after she faced certain
annihilation and the Allies faced cer- 1
tain destruction that Kngland bent her
pride and accepted a central com
| maud,” he added.
“There can be no democracy in the
business administration of this Govern
ment. It must be a m"iarchy. No
president has done his duty prior to
j President Harding, when he failed to
assume function as head of the business
organization of the Government.
! “The astounding progress by the co
ordination of departments under .ho
orders of President Harding has been
brought about absolutely through the
use of force. This system had to be
forced upon a business organization
