ALASKA POET ID WRITE BALLADS
 OF BATTLE

Robert w. Service, Alaska's poet laureate, who for several months has been busy heaving bombs from French to German trenches with lacrosse racquet, is going to write book on Ballads of Battle" as soon as he can find time. This story came in q private letter from publishers.
 Frank C. Dodd, of DOdd, Meade X Co.,, went to France last April in an effort to find Service and induce him to write some poetry dealing with the war. Service was at the front and Dodd was unable to get 4 mass permitting him to visit the trenches. He was not particularly anxious about making the trip anyway, as the point at which Service was living at that time was not very healthy. there be- ing a superfluity of German bullets and pieces of shrapnel whistling 'h'oH6h the athioSpheIe' lie lelt letter for Service and returned to the United States. A few days ago Dodd received an answer. which he forwarded to friend of Services. I've been on the front for nearly | year." the Alaskan poet writes and have developed considerable profi- | ciency as a bomb thrower If | ever get back to America the anarchists ly have been driving ammunition au- tomobile trucks, and doing ambulance work, which is not quite as nerve rack ing as is bomb throwing. But at that my nerves are becoming somewhat frazzled. I guess it must be the noise I'll have to quit before long, and when l get back to where it's quieter I'll see what can do about writing some thing on the war"
 A story is told to the effect that some time ago Service rescued a wounded Irishman. The man died be- fore he reached a base hospital. Ser vice, who, although he is a poet, has good business sense, found in the mans pockets a copy of a poem on War, written in long hand. Service read and thought it a masterpiece He told newspaper correspondents of the great tragedy. Here had been discoy- cred an unknown genius who died on the eve of gaining public recognition. The newspaper correspondents printed the storm of the poem, and then it was discovered that the verse had been written nearly sixty years ago by an author of international reputa- tion.

QUARTZ q R|KE IN WILLOW
 CREEK

Development work on property owned by Byron Bartholf and Charles Bartholf, in the Willow creek gold camp. has revealed what is considered the biggest showing thus far located
 in that district. The property was located last fall, but the only evidence of the existence of a vein, lay in the large amount of rich float scattered about. Some two weeks ago the own CTS were digging around and struck the vein in place. Subsequent devel- opments showed the vein, or that part of it thus far exposed to be from six to ten feet in width. The lowest assay of the several samples taken of the vein matter, gave $60 to the ton in gold. Other assays run all the way from $50 to $500 per ton, while a picked specimen ran $4,00O per ton. The big strike adjoins the property of the independence Mining Company and is on Fishhook creek.

Harry Martin wasn't there.
In November the national organization
realizing its inability to cut this Gordian
knot down in Maine, just sent Harry down
there and the trick was turned. He cut
$4,000 to 10000" from the September
10000, and only 5000 majority remained.
1t was done this way. In September
the harder we worked. the more the other
fellows shook the piney woods, and Repub-

in November, with Harry loose in Maine,
