FOUGHT HIS OWN BATTLES
Such Progress az Man Has Made He
Has Laboriously Carved Out
for Himself.

It has become a bromidian com
erything he has to, supply each need
he feels and meet every emergency
that arises with some expedient or
Yankee trick. And there is some wal
rant for such boastfulness, for every
thing that man enjoys or employs he
has made for himself out of such raw
material as he found to hand. All
that he knows he has learned for him
self. No one ever gave him any In.
formation of the slightest value which
contributed to his material welfare or
the comfort of his life. The lower
animals furnished him certain hints
Some of them burrowed to escape the
cold, climbed trees to elude their enc
mics, lined their abodes with moss and
floss for warmth and laid up food
against the season of snow. But all
that man is and has he made himself.
All that he does he found the way OF
doing. He was an orphan child. ig.
norant Of every branch of useful
knowledge set adrift in trying en-
vironment to perish or provide for
himself as best he could. II anybody
deserves an iron cross or other hon
orary decoration, 1t is man-resolute,
resourceful, self-reliant homo sapiens
for he is self-made and has done a
very creditable job of it, considering
that he had to battle with his environ
ment for everything worth while.

vast improvement-name a square

Of the sink, and, in addition, has the
peculiar feature Of little plug at the

GETS A NEW KEPT
French Soldier Braves Death for
Head Covering.
American in Foreign Legion Advances
From the Trenches at Night to
Get Cap-March Is a Mud
Bath.

Paris.-A correspondent with the
foreign legion writes as follows:
This is the second day We have
spent in Beaurieux, which mentioned
in my last letter. The captain himself
led us here by a new route. The dis
lance is not more than six miles, in
fact l doubt if it is SO much, yet it
took us exactly six hours to cover it,
from midnight to a. M, just before
the break Of day.
1T gets light around Z these days.
At one time We were travelling over
a new road in the woods, up to our
hips in loose mixture of mud and

had to pull your leg out at each slip,
and as you succeeded there was dull

the boys fell and he was sight. But
we are all good soldiers now and can
do six hours hard walking at night
with only one rest of ten minutes.
"Towle lost his watch and his CAP
on this march, but succeeded in get
ting another cap. He was on sentinel
duty the day we arrived and borrowed
mine for his trick. When he came in
he told us that he had noted a grave
with cap on it in the field on the
other side of the road and that he
knew where he could get a cover (the

it lay on an exposed spot between the

was to be seen wearing regulation

Patrol work is very active just now
both by ourselves and the enemy, and
much attention is given to locating
'petits postes' (the little outlook sta
lions in front of the most advanced
trenches) and picking off sentinels by
the light of French and German lights
1t Is game that keeps everybody
awake when they are playing it. 1t is
hard to say, private knows so little
but it appears to me that we have
gained on the enemy about hundred
yards, and are holding what we have
gained.

Limiting Saloons
Found Impossible

Judge Bunnell will not limit the
number Of saloon licenses in Fair
banks, as suggested by the city
council. He explained to represen-
tatives of the council that he could
not legally do so. and that if the
saloons are to be limited in the
city, 1t should be accomplished by
the failure Of people to sign the pc.
titions for saloons.
AT the meeting of the council last
Monday night, a committee consist
ing of Mayor Smith, Coucilman Lor-
entzen and City Attorney MarQuam.
was appointed to call upon the
court and find out if he could limit
the saloons. 1t was explained in the
meeting by Mr.. Lorentzen that the
saloon owners feared that a dis
reputable element Of saloonmen will
crowd into Fairbanks, now that some
of the states Outside have gone
dry. and thus the old-tiiners would
be crowded out

his boy friends, Elmo Keith, the -
year-old boy who died a week ago
from the effects of being accident

of the city that they turned out
in force to his funeral The funeral

local Pioneer Igloo, of which his
father is a member.

tere Saturday. Captain A. E. LeBal-
lister, for many years master Of the
Pacific Cold Storage Packet Robert
Kerr. was arrested on that day in
Seattle. charged with forgery. The
complaint was made here by H. B..
Parkin, the local manager Of the
company, who is authority for the
statement that LeBallister, during
the time he was master OF the Kerr,
stole sums aggregating to a total
of $4,000,
1t is charged that LeBallister car
ried the name OF F. White on his
books as second mate, and forged
that name On the pay rolls Of the
company. thus drawing down the
500 per month for a number of
years. Several other minor defalca-
tons are also credited to him.
Shortly after the complaint was
made here, District Attorney r. F.
Roth prepared extradition papers
and sent them to Governor Strong
for his signature. They were hon
ored by the governor of the State
Of Washington without question and
the arrest was made Saturday as be-
fore noted.
When the arrest was made the To-
cal authorities were advised by wire
that the defendant in the proceedings
wished to secure bail. Marshal Err

structing the authorities there to
admit LeBallister to bail in the sum
of $4,000. to insure his appearance
in Fairbanks by March rs.
1t Is understood that Captain Le-
Ballister was discharged from the
service OF the Pacific Cold Storage
company a year ago last fall. The

Last week she received a letter
from the postmaster. and In II were
enclosed the one cent stamp she
had sent him. and a twocent stamp
to pay for the postage on the let
ter she had written at the time the
one cent was sent. The California
postmaster explained in his letter
that he had destroyed the postal
belonging to her, because the law
required him to hold 1t but two
weeks, but lie was sorry he had
done so considering the amount of
time it takes to send such notices
to Alaska. However, to fix things
right the postmaster concluded his
letter by saying:
Instead of your Christmas postal
card, l am sending you copy Of

ArbuckIe's Editor Arbuckle, OF the
Dog Iditarod Pioneer, Is
Problem. said to have dog that
resembles the editors
shadow, inasmuch as it is always
with him. But Of late, it is explain
ed by those who have been arriving
in Fairbanks from Iditarod. the dog
has become so fat that much of
Mr. Arbuckle's time Is lost in waiting
at street corners for the dog to
catch up with him. The name Of
the dog, by the way, is Glory.
Mr.. Arbuckle is described as be-
ing a man of unusually large size
and in this the dog seems to be
trying to resemble its master. 1t
is also declared that the dog re.
sembles its master in being unus
ually good-natured.
The serious problem that is said
to confront Mr.. Arbuckle at the
present time is how to keep from
losing the dog on account OF the
latter's inability to walk fast. 1t Is
understood that he is trying to figure
out whether it would be best to
exercise the dog until he can walk
faster, or to gain flesh himself until
it will be impossible for him to
travel faster than his Glory.

OF blueberries that he picked in the
vicinity of Fairbanks, many of them
as late as in November
In addition to picking blueberries
at that time, Mr.. Purdy has picked
many other berries, such as low and
high bush cranberries in November.
Indeed he affirms that the late
berries, though they are sometimes
wilted, are just as good for house
hold uses as are the berries picked
earlier in the summer.
Some OF these times some fellow
will come along who will domesticate
Alaska's berries, and will make
small fortune out of them.

Baseball.

Manager Cantillion brought a
bunch of his men over from Hick-
man, KY, to play the local high
school, en- route to Memphis for a
series of three games with the Tur-
ties.
The game resulted in a score of
10 to in favor of the Millers. The
Minneapolis club did not let them
selves out to great extent before
the good crowd which received them
here.
Union City only got two hits off
the visitors. Ingersoll and Brown
were put in the box by Cantillion
and gave an exhibition. The score
stood 5 to in the first inning. No
scores made by the locals. The local
pitchers were Wright, Everett and
Rankin.
