These, divided up into several groups and, headed by several per sons from the fort and town, swept the road below the city without finding any trace of the missing team. A number of the searchers continued on to the east finally ar irving at the fort without locating the missing party. The searching continued throughout the night with no better success and as 1t drew on toward morning it was feared that the team had wandered to sea. All fears were finally dissipated, however, by tae arrival of the mis- sing stage at the fort shortly after day break. The party had suffer- ed in no great degree as they were we'll provided with robes and warm wrappings.

HAD A NARROW ESCAPE

Under iate of November 2oth the Nome Nugget relates the fol- lowing: incident:
 The team from Fort Davis which daily transports the school children to and from the post became lost in the blizzard yesterday afternoon and was compelled to stay out all night. In addition to the driver of the team there were two children and Mrs. o. H. Flowers who resides at the fort. It seems that after the team pulled out from the outskirts of town the flying snow caused all landmarks to become obliterated and the driver was soon hopelessly at sea as to where he was going. After driving for a considerable time a. long what appeared to be the trail the driver became somewhat be- wildered and turned toward the sea but after journeying for sofne dis tance was induced by Mrs. Flowers to return toward land. On arriving at the edge of the tundra, the party became convinced that further at- tempts to travel were useless and halt was made until morning. In the meantime, the news of the non- appearance of the team had been telephoned to town and searching

of the military telegraph and cable system, the department has author ized the installation of telephone instruments at all the stations be- tween Valdez and Fairbanks.
 The service between Valdez and Camp Comfort has been installed and will be extended to Fairbanks as soon as the instruments are put in.
 The instruments are somewhat different from the ordinary tele- phone receiver and transmitter, re- 1uiring stronger batteries and spec ial appliances to transmit he voice over the heavy telegraph wires. The installation of the telephone system will enabli stations where on oper-
 'ors are located to communicate with the nearest stations and will obviate the necessity of keeping >elagraphers at all points of the line.

A CLOSE WATCH
 TO BE KEPT UP
JAPANESE FLEET WILL
 GUARD THE SUEZ CANAL

Japan has entered the European theater of war with powerful fleet which has been sent to the Suez Canal, according to A. M. Papajian Bey, former Minister of the Interior in Egypt, who is at the present in Los Angeles.
 Great Britain realizes that she cannot lose the canal, which is a vital element in her life as a un- flied Empire" declared Papajain Bey. "For that reason the canal has been remarkably fortified, and a Japanese fleet is on hand ready for business.
 Every effort has been made to keep the news of the presence of Japanese battleships at the canal from spreading, and l have heard nothing of the fleet in this country. They are there nevertheless
 In speaking of the conditions in Egypt today, Papajain Bey said;
 "A rebellion may and probably will break out almost any day in Egypt. However it will not be successful. There are about 6Oo,- 900 British troops there and some 50000 Egyptian troops. In the interior there are several regi- ments of blacks, who are fine fight CTS, and who fight for the Empire"
 Papajian Bey scoffs at the idea of a German invasion in Egypt.
 "Only in January and February, the least hot months, is it possible for an army to cross the desert sands between Turkey and Egypt" '" he asserted. "Then, too, the Red Sea forms a natural barrier as efficacious as an army Many ships and transports would be needed, and Germany could not procure them."-Toronto Globe.

HIDES HER FACE WITH
 BONNET 30 YEARS
DISAPPOINTED IN LOVE AT 16 vows NEVER TO SHOW HER
 FACE AGAIN

A pathetic story is told of girl who, at sixteen met and fell in love with young man who deserted her, and from that day to this. she has never allowed any one to see her face. Once young and beautiful, now aged and gray, then the pride of young mans heart, now friend less. Thirty years ago, a pushing bride to be; today saddened, lon ely woman, America Archer, lives in a modest but neat little farm house about five miles from Spring field, H., says a Chicago report.
 At sixteen she was madly in love with a handsome young fellow who took her deep affection in free and easy way and left her one day without saying where he was going.
 Disappointed in her youthful love affair, the impetuous girl vowed never to let a man see her face a gain. From that moment her life changed. Instead of the happy, care-free girl, she was the sober, thoughtful woman; instead of gaiety she sought solitude. She turned
 CT back on the world and on man in particular. So determined was she to keep her VOW and prevent all nen from looking at her that she wore sun-bonnet pinched close together so as to hide her face, and not pink or blue one either, but the somberest color she could find, black.
 That sun-bonnet has been the em- blem of her seclusion, the badge of her withdrawal from the world She has never been without it, and people have grown to know her as ''the woman with the black sun bonnet" In the long years that have passed since she first made her VOW she has become more and more retiring, until finally the sol itude has reduced her naturally buoy ant pirits to nature timid in the extreme.
 So fearful is she least someone may look under the veil she has drawn across her life that she will not open the door wide, but pulls it open a crack and talks from be- hind a closed blind. Her voice is weak and faltering and she answers questions with the greatest diff culty. Her mind is gradually losing it's grasp on life, and as she stands there with her pathetically sorrow stopped figure, her frail, worn hands and her pitiful sun-bonnet, she is more like the shadow of some pale withered flower than the blooming rose that people used to know as America Archer.

MOURN THE SILENT NEIGHBOR

WASKOM, Texas, Jan. 5-There is mourning among the negroes of part of the piney woods because of the recent death of James East ridge, white faith doctor, who for more than thirty years lived alone on his big farm between Waskom and Jonesville.
 Eastridge was a man of mystery, not only to the negroes, but to all of his white neighbors. He was born about 75 years ago on the same farm and in the house where he died. For thirty-one years no one had heard his voice.
 He lived as hermit, practicing his faith cures upon all who sought his aid. He died suddenly after eating a hearty breakfast. The negroes regarded him as an almost supernatural being. Like most her mits of tradition, Eastridge was thrifty. Officers who took charge of his estate found S1,98S hidden in the house.
 Eastridge was generous to poor and needy negroes. With the ex- ception of his mother, woman had no attraction for him. He never married.

S. Peterson reported to Fred E. Robinson that about the time of the disappearance Of William Christie some one from ambush on the shore fired shot at him. Peterson was in his boat and the bullet grazed close by. Peterson did not stop to investigate but ducked and kept going, glad to get away from the vicinity.
 E. Nj. Kelly, a we'll known old timer in the north whose family ar rived here Christmas, was killed yesterday by a gravel and rock slide in the tunnel of the Alaska Juneau mine.
 The deceased formerly worked in the Nome section and came to Ju- neau about four months ago, hop ing to find some kind of office work. He was an Elk and a Mason and has large circle of friends who will be shocked to hear of his death.
 The complete failure of Juneau's water supply for few hours Friday night, after the reservoir had been cleaned of it's supply to fill the Arctic Brotherhood natatorlum tank, the resulting freezing up of many of the connections between the water mains and business houses and residences and the feeling of in- security in case of fire has occupied the thoughts of good many ju- neau citizens and were the causes that lead to the conference of mem bers of the city council st Conn- cilman Britt's drug store yesterday afternoon.
