Ventilation and heating were dis

should be at a certain given tempera,

who said that the room should be
suited to the needs of the person oc-
cupying the room. Older people re-
quire more heat than younger persons.
The putting in Of furnaces in many
of the farm houses is tending to solve
the heating problem.
For ventilation DR.. Barr recon-
mended the placing OF board under

come in at the top and go out at the

SCOTTY ALIENS RETURN

A. A. Allan, we'll known throughout the North as "Scotty" Allan, recently returned to Nome. and the Industrial Worker of that city says he is looking 100 per cent fit. He gives most interesting account of hls ex- periences in Europe, where he went with more then four hundred dogs most of them from Nome He landed at Havre and his entry into that port was most remark able experience. Steamers were threading their way in close order, one after another, like jitney buses in a street He never saw so much shipping arriving anywhere at any time, It was marvellous. Steamers came into port and immediately electric cranes were rushed alongside, piles of stevedores rushed into the holds, as many as could possibly work together, and within few hours the cargo was distributed into motor cars, trucks, etc, and moved away lmmedl- ately, while the steamer moved out to what is known as the safety zone," and there took on what fuel and supplies might be needed. In France everything is war, al- though evidences of it are far from being visible Troops are everywhere, of course but even the man on the front may never see a sign of the enemy. Allan tells of an experience with a wounded artilleryman
 who said that he had been in action for ten months land never saw a single bloody German" However, he admits that the Stars and Stripes looked good to him, al
 though he saw neither battleship nor sub- marine until he reached New York, and this he regards as not the least striking feature of his visit to the war zone.

FORTHCOMING WEDDING
 WHICH ISOF INTEREST HERE

The Fairbanks Citizen of September II contains the following:
 Although no formal announcement of an engagement has yet been made, 1t is un- derstood in the circle of the more intimate friends of Mir Clyde Geraghty and Miss Nugget Johnston that the weli-known Gar den Island couple will soon become man and wife The wedding, it is stated, will take place early in October. Miss Johnson numbers practically all of the sourdoughs of the North among her friends. For she is true daughter of the Golden North, having been born in the early days of the Stewart river country. In fact she was the first white child born on the Stewart river. Being one of the oldest of the native daughters of the North, she served as sec retary of the organization known as the Native Sons and Daughters of the Golden North until the last election of officers, when she retired MT. Geraghty is one of Interior Aleska's best known young men. He came to Fairbanks from the Outside in 1906, and followed mining until 1908 when he took position with the Alaska road commiS- sion, and he has been with that organiza- ton since that time, in the capacity of road foreman or chief clerk. At the present tpe he is the chief clerk in the local office of the commission"

Alaska Indian Names

Five years among the Indians of Interior Alaska have taught Rev. Guy H. Madeira of Mauch Chunk, Pa, few things about difficult names. When he left his home state to take charge of the native missions along the Tanana river he was accustomed to speak apologetically of his home. No body seemed able to understand its name, and all smiled indulgently when he spelled it out for him. But now he boasts of the name, for after all 1t was his home, and then he has encountered so many much more difficult names in Alaska-Matanuska Tyonek, Chitochina, Kechumstock Kusko- kwim, Klamaskwaltin and all the rest. But the name that has done more than the others to make him look with calm disdaln on all ordinary Indian names of the states is that of the Indians with whom he worked the Qloyukuwhutanas He speaks that wolu guDly now, ln either English or h. dian, and little name like Mauch Chunk seems an easy cognomen indeed. Rev. MT, Madero returned to Seattle on August 30, says the Post -Intelligencer. With him are two of his assistants Miss B. E. Frederick and Miss Grace Sutherland. Rev. Mir. Ma dera says that when he left Nenana, the present terminus of the government rail road, there had been a general rush of people into Panama. Some of them intend to settle, he says, and others are keeping their ears to the ground for possible news of mineral strikes He says that the right ofway for the railroad is being rapidly cleared for the laying of rails, and that Thomas Riggs Jr, in charge of the work has won the respect and confidence of the district by bis able handling of all prob lens.

Japanese to Invest in Alaska

A Chicago dispatch says that Baron MIX, ami and Professor Taesoe, special envoys of the Japanese government, are in that city en route to Alaska. They declare they are seeking mining concessions in Alaska in the hope of securing minerals needed for munitions of war which their country does not posses. The Japanese, who are among the scientific men of the Japanese nation, declare that Japan is greatly handicapped by lack of naturalization. They believe that if they find what they want in Alaska satisfactory arrangement can be made with the government for a concession.

Promising Young Life Snuffed Out


 w. F. Skoog, one of the most promising young contractors in Alaska, was fatally in jured as the result of runaway accident on surface tram used to haul materials to the wireless station under construction part way up Mount Juneau, across Gold creek from the entrance of Evergreen ceme- tery, on September l, according to the Ju neau Dispatch. He died the following day. Skoog was in the get of sending up the car on the tramway, and it was partly up the steep incline when splice in the cable broke and the ear went hurling down the hill Contractor J. H. Gilpatrick saw the accident and said that it seemed as though Skoog had his back to the car and did not turn around until it was almost upon him. On the car were two iron wheels, weighing probably 300 pounds. These literally pounded his life out in the tumblng around w. F. Skoog made a remarkable record in Juneau for construction work. He was as sociated with his father in the construc ton of the first unit of the Gastineau hotel. The second unit was carried on by himself. He was married and was among the young men who had decided to live and expand in Alaska.
