BOOST SPIRIT THE CAUSE 0F
 THIS EDITION

This edition of The Alaska Citizen. the TANANA SPECIAL TERMINAL EDITION, is issued by the citizens of Panama. Alaska, under the auspices merce Its primary purpose is to boost the town of Panama as the place on the Yukon river offering the most advantages to the govern ment as a terminus for the propos ed Alaska government railroad. Reasons why the government should look into the claims of Panama be- fore definitely determining where the terminus will be are also included in it's pages.
 The citizens of Panama have united in generously contributing to this publication, and without their aid it could not have been issued. The publishers, therefore, wish to mak" pecially are they indebted to those who furnished material for pictures and for number of the articles con tained herein.
 Aside from it's primary purpose, this edition also tells a few facts concerning the town of Panama, which are not generally known. The his tory of the place is dealt with ex- tensively, as is the history of the United States military post, Fort Gibbon.
 Panama lays no claim to being an important mining center at the pres ent time She does, however, claim to be the most important commercial center in Interior Alaska; the sup ply point for all of the camps of the Panama river and it's tributaries, and of the Koyukuk country,
 A resume of facts given in this issue shows that the government annually eXpends more money at Panama than at any other point in the Interior The town, therefore. feels it's importance, knowing that in time it is bound to come to the fore, and wishes to enlarge upon the fact that it is the proper place for q railroad terminus.

 ADJUSTMENTS.
 The gymnasium in the Post EN- change building at Fort Gibbon is where all of the dances of the post are held, as are the amateur theatri- calls and moving picture shows. The hall is a large and commodious one with a good dancing floor. Every thing necessary for indoor athletics is kept in the gymnasium, and in the winter it is a busy place. The Post Exchange only recently made the purchase of a moving picture machine and picture shows are given twice per week Most of the enter tainment given at the post are open 10 civilians.
 All of the soldiers are intensely interested in baseball and. as con sequence. two good teams have been organized from the company. They play exhibition games each Sunday afternoon when the weather is good.

HIS ORY.

Although the United States gov ernment formally took possession ot the Territory of Alaska in ls67. aft CT il had been acquired from Rus sia, it was not until many years later that it saw the advisability of establishing other military posts than that al Sitka. then capital and principal town oi the Territory. However. as the industrial cond!- tions of the newly acquired country became better. and as towns began to spring up here and there over the Territory. the inhabitants began 10 demand that the government do some thing toward taking actual posses sion of the Territory and the policing of it. This resulted in the establish ing of a number of military posts

~.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Westover, and Second Lieutenant Harry L. Twaddle The First Ser while Sergeant Albert J. Haas is acting as Post Sergeant Major. Cap tain Albert G. Love, post surgeon, is in charge of the hospital corps while Lieutenant w. w. Harris is the officer in charge of the Second and Third sections of the United States military telegraph lines.
 Excepting some of the men at tached to the quartermaster's de partment, one member of the hospital corps and the signal corps men, all of the soldiers now at Fort Gibbon are serving their first term of en- listment in Alaska, having arrived at tEe post about July l, from Fort George Wright, Washington. They relieved the officers and men of companies A and D of the Thirtieth infantry. There are just as many men at Fort Gibbon now as there was last year, as the company there at the present time has it's full quota of men, while the companies which went Outside this summer were of only 50 men each.
 FUNCTIONS OF MILITARY.
 Fort Gibbon was established prim- arily for the same purpose as other posts are established, e., the dis position of it's military in different sections of the country in times of peace In the old days the country was partially policed by the soldiers, but with the coming of civil authority to Alaska that function was prac- tically disposed of.
 The chief work of the military at present is looking after the United States military telegraph. This work is in the hands of the signal corps, but one infantryman from the post is usually sent with two signal
 
 corps men to each of the outlying stations.
 SIGNAL CORPS.
 The headquarters of the Second and Third divisions of the United States military telegraph are at Fort Gibbon. The officer in charge at the present time is Lieutenant Charles H. Mason, who was formerly in charge of the Second division, with headquarters in Fairbanks. The Fairbanks headquarters was recently suspended temporarily and the of flee at that place put under the jurisdiction of the officer at Valdez. This change was made owing to a

 Fort Gibbon IS now the headquar ters of a division q al includes Nome on the west and considerable terri tory west of Fort Gibbon.
 At Fort Gibbon there are always between 2O and 20 signal corps men, There are supposed 70 be two men at each of the outlying stations, but during the present summer. there has been d shortage and conse- quently. some of the stations are short of men The quarters of tn" men at Fort Gibbon are in the Signal Corps building, and in the building which houses the wireless plant.
 The wireless station at Fort Gib- bon is second to none in all of Alaska. and is link in the chain of stations reaching from Eagle to St. Michael and Nome. Land lines also run from Valdez to St Michael via Fairbanks. but. as they occa- sionally go out of commission r e' wireless is ore of the greatest aids to te1egraphy in the Interior coun- try. The present ten kilowat Tele- funken wireless plant was installed at Fort Gibbon in 1908. The Mar conf system was installed in 1902, but was found to be unequal to the requirements of the service. Land telegraph lines were first installed through Alaska in 1900 signal corps headquarters at Fort Gibbon having been established at that time

 When Company E came North this summer a number of band in struments were brought. There are already several good musicians in the company. and it is. therefore. safe to say that within a very shor; time, no military post in Alaska will be able to boast a better post musical organization than Fort Glib bon.
