FEED SITUATION
 HERE, RELIEVED

Not until the arrival of the steam CT Alaska on Saturday, has the horsefeed shortage which prevailed all spring known any relief For. although no statements relative to the shortage of feed have been made through the columns of the press, it was a well known fact in mer- cantile circles that but barely feed enough feed 10 keep the stock in this vicinity from starving could be se- cured, owing to the longshoremen's > strike in Seattle.
 But the coming of the Alaska re leved the situation. For she brought POO tons of the much needed proven der The shipment was really con signed to Hot Springs, but it was brought up to Fairbanks at this time when there is plenty of water in the river in order that the A.-Y. N. Co. may relieve themselves in the fall when the stage of water is usually low. but when there is plenty of water to enable the com pany to take the feed to Hot Springs and other lower river points with out trouble
 The Northern Commercial com pany, themselves the largest ship pers of feed into the interior. were unable to secure enough to feed their stock. And had the feed not been brought up on the Alaska work on the trail being done by the Al aska road commission, where 3S head of stock Is being used, would have had to stop.
 The steamer Reliance arrived in port from Panama Saturday night. She made the trip expressly to take a cargo of feed to the Northern Com mercial company stage stations at Richardson and McCarty. She left port again yesterday morning for the upper Panama.

 The refore. when committee of business men made the rounds Fri day afternoon the other business men of the town were disappointed. For they were told that money was not wanted in any sense of the word. and most of them were made to promise that they would fall for" the proposition about to be made 10 them Which they did in most cases after they discovered that no money was to be demanded of them.
 The result was that 56 representa- tive business men Of Fairbanks went down 10 Cinema Saturday night as a reception TOT Col. Richardson, of the Alaska Road commission, as guests of the Fairbanks Commercial club. kItbnt,0h ie harI Closer To most Fairbanksans to Outside. realize it because they

 The fact of the matter is that Frank has almost run himself to death during the past week trying to keep the COW from crossing the bridge to Fairbanks, getting on the cattle barge and going back Outside again. She seems to have taken dislike to Garden Island. and there fore. every time she gets out of the Miller lot she makes a determined attempt to get across the bridge. Of course, Frank takes after her and that's where Frank gets his training For he cant quite keep up with the COW when it comes to running. and has to call somebody to his assistance.
 The COW arrived in Fairbanks di. rect from the green fields of eastern Washington on the last trip of the Yukon She was sent in by a friend of Mir Miller's to whom the latter had expressed desire to secure a good COW.
 But after the COW got here Frank didn't know what to do with her. and that's where Wade Joslin comes in.

 All of which conversation made the young Fairbanksan's blood boil, and those two tourist gentlemen learned where they got off in short order For they were told that. while they might be familiar with public dances on the Outside, their education had been sadly neglected as regards Fairbanks, as Alaskans in general are not tough"

 MT Stuart says tha, in all of his travels he never was in a place where man didn't have to pay for anything he got until he went to the Koyukuk. He hadn't been in the northern camp very long, however until he was made a mem Der of the "slapperdowns,' for on the first occasion he started to make purchase he found that the purchase was charged up against him before he had time to offer pay ment. But that was his initiation into the club and all the initiation he received.
 There is no initiation fee charged for membership in the far northern club. Nor has the organization d ,,N1o oP siding officer. however. is the big gest booze fighter in the camp, as he hollers "Slapper-down" every time he makes the purchase of a drink. And "slapper-down" is the clubs password.

To hear him tell it, Joe learned the art of driving the machine all by his lonesome and the learning was the result of kindly act done to the automobile by MT. Morrow in the kindness of his heart.
 It was a dark and stormy night. Pete's automobile was standing out on Second avenue in the rear of the Panama in the rain.

JOKE ON THE GERMANS.

In the Electrical World there is
a story of how the Germans supplied
the allies with electricity for several
months without being aware of the
fact. When the Germans first occu-
pied Lille, while the allied troops
held possession of Armentieres near
by, the soldier-engineers Of the kai-
ser's army discovered the abandoned
Lille electric lighting plant, and, ac-
cording to the story told by British
soldier in letter home, shortly had
the generators running and the town
again lighted by electricity. 1t was
some months, however, before the
Germans discovered that the Lille
lighting system was also connected
with Armentieres, and that good
share of the energy generated inside
the Teuton lines was being used to
light the allies quarters and troop
tents an the neighboring city.
