plain to them fully that no informa-

THE penalty for divulging informa-

STIR OVER THE POOR HOUSE

Without dissenting vote and with

adopted the report Of the Tax Levy
Committee, the feature of which is
increased appropriations for educa-
tional purposes. Under the new levy
the elementary schools will be open
for eight months in the year, and the
county high school will be perpetuated
for greater usefulness.
The County Court had lively and
entertaing session. The county asylum
problem again presented itself, and as
on former occasions keyed the mag
istrates up to a high pitch. After
some discussion, more or less acrimo-

the powers of the investigating com

4 detail of four husky soldier lads did a heroic Clash -to-the-pole" stunt down river last week, rescuing from a terrible fate two signal corps men frozen in on launch.
 The party consisted of Corp. Roberts and Privs. Bradley, Rogers and c. An derson. They took along Mate Johnson of the Jacobs, mule and an old horse the corral boss hoped would be lost for ever.
 Stocked with six months provisions, the septette started out. An Arctic blast swept down the Yukon, but they didn't care, for they were bundled up to the chins. At times the thermometers, each man was armed with, registered as low as 10 above.
 The first night out they bivouacked in a swamp they named Roberts pass. Readings of the cyclometer indicated they were three miles west of the guard house.
 The second day they saw Dan Averill and Capt. Robson float by with the mail. Their boat was frozen in a foe and they were cooking dinner on the ice in true Arctic style.
 Along the way the natives came out to greet the strangers on whom they had never laid eyes before. They brought offerings of wampum and dog salmon, in return for which they received several cans of tomatoes. After a prolonged conference, the soldiers decided an ex- change of hostages was unnecessary.
 By forced marches the relief party reached cranberry grove the second night, which they named Johnson's s spit, on account of the mates tobacco

TOWN PUMP
 PROBLEM UP
News Will Receive Money

The town pump problem has bobbed up again. Funds are needed and it is up to the people to contribute.
 The News has taken up the matter and will receive contributions. At pres ent there is $7.5O in the treasury. A new stove is needed and the pump must be repaired.
 Mrs. H. E. Simpson, who deserves great praise for the work she did, has resigned as trustee, turning the balance over to the News.
 Recently when contributions were asked number asked what had become of the $93 made on the entertainment last winter. Mrs. Simpson, who got up the entertainment and who has done all the work since without pay, rightly felt hurt at the imputation the money had been squandered. Here is what became of it:
 Bakery goods for entertainment, $2; cords wood, $34 cutting cord wood, $4; cleaning barrels, $5; cutting cords, SIP; cleaning well, $22; repairing pump, $6; door spring, $50; total, $85.5O.
 This winter seven woodhaulers have each agreed to donate a cord of wood. Jack Cavanaugh agrees to keep the fire going. "Ole" will saw the wood. Now all that is necessary is to have money to buy stove and repair the pump. It's up to you.

 FINE LIBRARY
Reform Wave Strikes Quarters

Co. l. has installed an excellent library and reading room in the north wing of it's quarters. Its library collected in the islands and other places now contains 600 volumes, supplemented by Y. NJ. c. A. library, the books of which are frequently changed.
 The library has been made snug and cozy. A partition shuts off the unused portion and the walls have been newly papered. Long evenings the phono- graph, for which many new records have been secured, grinds away, con- stantly reminding the boys of the time they ogled the chorus girls in d bur lesque show or yawned through grand opera.
 The latest periodicals and newspapers are kept on file and ill fact every con- fort has been provided.
 The library is maintained by month ly fee of 25 cents imposed on each man. done much in improving the library and his efforts are greatly appreciated by the boys.
 A base ball game played with cards is the rage just at present, while several groups can be seen every evening play ing mumbledy peg or jack straws. That's the Go. L spirit.
 Sergeant Barkesdale is the leading light, taking fatherly interest in the lads.

Mule Gets Busy.

mu1O OOIo ouSys
 About A. NJ. the men were awakened by deafening roar. They rushed to the darkness. After the ammunition was exhausted it was discovered the mule had broken into the provision tent and was bombarding a box of breakfast food with his hind feet Sentinel Brad ley was found 200 yards away fast asleep on side of bacon.
 The third day the horse showed signs of life and breaking away dashed into the river after what he thought was a bunch of hay. All hopes of losing him were abandoned when he became inn prisoned in the shore ice.
 They then threw overheard ballast of three months rations and proceeded. By sundown, just as all hope of finding the lost key pounders was given up, the party espied an old shirt stuck up as a signal of distress over what turned out to be the bow of the longsought launch.
 The marooned martyrs, who hadn't had bite to eat for six weeks, greeted their rescuers with yelps of joy. The twain were quickly revived with copious draughts of canteen malt and then all hands pulled the launch ashore The party returned to the fort, Friday, last week.
 They have all the documents which they will submit to the general court to prove they brought back the men.

Barber Ellis feels all puffed up since he damned that fellow who kicked Sergt. Knowlton's Irish setter, caught snoring under the pool table. He and Priv. Ralph Ware have organized a Band of Mercy.
 Priv Nelson felt that he was not ap- preciated as he wildly swung an ax over chunk of knotted birch wood, last week. "When Jeffries chopped wood they made a big 'spluge' over him." Nelson muttered. "No one makes .'spluge' over me when chop wood."
 Privs. Fred A. surridge and Dick Hughes are fast becoming expert "dog robbers" Last Friday they saw dog floating down river on a cake of ice. Having heard that any old cur is valua ble in Alaska, they ran to the river and plunging waist deep into the icy stream grabbed hold of the edge of the cake. Meantime they were figuring how they'd divide the animal. The dog wagged his tail in thankful recognition and using Fred As pate as stepping stone leapcd to shore and ran home.
