sion, although IN effect it accom-
plishes the purpose of "a gift. The gov.
eminent of Belgium, ever since the
war began, has continued to pay the
salaries and wages of very large
number of government employees.
Some of these employees have con.
tinued to perform the duties for which
they are paid, such as burgomasters
and other city and communal officials
school teachers, etc., while some are
idle because of the German occupation
of the country, The money for the
payment of these employees Is not de-
livered directly TO them by the gov
eminent; in fact, the government has
no direct channel through which it
could make payment
1T is, therefore, paid over to the
Commission for Relief in Belgium,
which buys relief supplies with it.
The supplies are sent into Belgium
where they are distributed; not given
away, but sold. Proceeds of the sale
are paid to the communes, and the
communal officers then pay the sal
aries and wages Of the government
employees. The entire transaction is
somewhat like the operation of a wa
ter-wheel. The water drives the wheel
in passing, but is not reduced in guam
tity by the service which it gives"

Though most of Belgium is in the
hands of the Germans, the Belgian
government, dispossessed of its coun.

system Of relief work for BeIgians in
the territory held by the Teutons.
This work has cost $5.000,000 every
month, but even so the funds sent

Writing on How Belgium Has

tells the following facts in the Deem.
Der Review of Reviews:
at is doubtful whether the world
understands that Belgium. through
her government and her people, has
borne the chief financial burden OF the
work Of relief. A fund of $4,000, 900
was provided by q group of Belgian
bankers and given to the Commission
for Relief in Belgium, to be expended
solely for the chartering of ships in
which to bring wheat or -four from the
United States and other countries.
The Belgian government has regu-
larly appropriated $5,000.00O each

BOLD ATTEMPT AT
 FRAUD UNEARTHED

A bold and unique fraud is being perpe trated by some person or persons at present unknown, and although the authorities have no clue to the miscreants the matter is given publicity for the purpose of warning the public against the machinations of the get-rich-quick schemers
 An ordinary printed counter check of the Miners and Merchants Bank" dated Nu- lato, Alaska for the sum of S950, and signed by Jasper Rice" has been sent to the Miners and Merchants Bank of Iditarod for collection. The check was originally presented to the Union Bank of Helena, Mont and by it forwarded to the First Ma tional Bank of Seattle
 No one seems to have ever heard of Jasper Rice, and of course there IS no bank at Nulato.
 That the party uttering these checks had the fraudulent acquisition of big sums of money in mind is evident from the fact of his having blank checks of non-exstent bank printed. There are several Miners and Merchants" banks in Alaska, including one at Nome, one at ketcbikan and the Idit- arod bank Much conjecture is being in dulged in as to the possible extent to which such fraud could be worked The date line, "Nulato, Alaska" is printed in small script type, and persons in Alaska used to handling the checks of the Miners and Mer- chants" banks might accept them without scrutinizing them closely, but it seems i'm probable that persons on the Outside could be duped, as inquiry naturally would be aroused by the presentation of such checks.
 The matter will be placed in the hands of the American Bankers Association by the officials of the local bank.

UNFORTUNATE PROSPECTOR
 RETURNED TO IDITAROD

Alex Cornwall the unfortunate prospector who left here some weeks ago in charge of Nurse Jacobsgaard for the Outside, to receive surgical treatment, returned to the city on the Prairie Bell Thursday morning.
 It appears from the statement of the nurse that the army surgeon at Fort Gibbon declared the patients allment to be incur able, and advised that he be brought back to Iditarod The advisability of this course seems to have been questioned by many of Mir. Cornwalps friends, who assert that he could have received better care in some hospital Outside, and the return trip from Panama was quite as trying on him as would have been the continuation of the trip to the Outside.
 The Pioneer endeavored to get statement in regard to the case, but unsuccessfully.

RICHARD E. MANDLEY AGAIN
 SUES YUKON GOLD COMPANY

On Thursday last Richard E. Mandley, through his attorney, Fred Harrison, filed suit in the district court against the Yukon Gold Company to recover damages in the sum of s2O,00O, with costs and disburse- ments, for injuries received while working for the defendant corporation in the ca pacity of engineer and blacksmith on Nov 15, 1913. The case was before Judge Bun nell at the Iditarod term of court last July but was dismissed without prejudice, and the suit filed Thursday is a new action.
 Mandley alleges in his complaint that on or about the date mentioned, while dis charging his duties on the dredge of the de fendant company, he was ordered by the dredgemaster to open 8 certain valve to turn steam into a pipe and hose. Later the dredgemaster complained that the steam was not reaching the pipe and hose, and di- rected the plaintiff to adjust the valve.
Iditarod pioneer., 1915-09-18

While engaged in this task, he alleges, he was overcome by smoke fumes and gases which emanated from the frebox of the boiler, being rendered unconscious and powerless, and fell from pile of wood to , the deck of the dredge, a distance of about nine feet, sustaining numerous injuries and burns being temporarily blinded and par tially deaf His right arm and leg became partially paralyzed, and he is informed and believes that he also sustained rupture of one of the cerebral arteries of the brain
 Plaintiff claims that since the accident, except for short period, he has been un- able to perform any kind of labor, and that he is practically an invalid, and may never recover his health and strength.
 He sets forth that the injuries were caused by the negligence of the defendant company, and prays judgment in the sum named.

ABE WEISS SHOWS CONFIDENCE IN
 DISTRICT
Flat City's Progressive Business Man En!arges Scope of Ac- tivities and Is Prepared to Meet All Demands of
 His Customers

The recent purchase by Abe Weiss, the Flat City merchant, of the comprehensive stock of clothing mems furnishings, etc, of the Bayles Clothing Company's stores located at ldtarod and Discovery, adding to MT Weiss already large stock, calls attention to the somewhat remarkable success that has and up-to date methods employed by that gentleman ill his dealings with the public
 Mir Weiss came to Alaska when a very young man, and with the intention of mak-
 ing his home here. After casting his lot with the then promising city of Fairbanks, and engaging in business in that city in a modest way, he came to Iditarod with the rush of 1910, and ever since has been den- tifed with the business life of the com munity through his mercantile establish ment at Flat City, and becoming one of its most progressive, enterprising and public spirited citizens Mir. Weiss has established an enviable reputation with the public and having an abiding faith in the district he has constantly added to his store, until to- day he has one of the most complete and up- to-date clothing and mems furnishing goods establishments in Interior Alaska
 While the purchase price paid to the Bayles brothers is not made public, the deal is said to have involved large sum of money.
 For the present the Idtarod store will be conducted by Mir Weiss in connection with This Flat City business, and will receive the personal attention of the proprietor. Later in the season the store will be closed, and will not be reopened until next spring. The Discovery store already has been closed and the stock removed to Flat City.
 There is no doubt that the confidence of MT. Weiss in the future of the camp will be justified and that his we'll known ability to cater to the needs of the community and his tireless attention to the wants of his GUS toners will be rewarded by an increased busi Ress. There is not the least doubt that the enterprise and progressive spirit of Mir. Weiss will be rewarded amply.

DREDGE ON FLAT CREEK
 MAKES RAPID PROGRESS

Persons whose business does not take them up Flat creek very often are greatly struck by the progress that the Yukon Gold Com panv's dredge has made during the sum mer It is learned that it has been working ill narrow channel, and for some time was in worked-over ground. Early in the sum- mer its operations were in extremely rich pay and now that it is nearing the Bonanza claim it is again in good ground. The pay streak widens from this point down, and the progress down the creek of the big gold ship VII not be so rapd from now on.
