FAIRBANkSANS THANKFUL.

With memories O1 other days days when a flood of the river such as prevails at pres cnt would have meant devastation by reason ol the fact that it would have taken out the bridge, the connecting link between Fairbanks and Garden Island, many Fairbanksans arc being heard to express their gratitude to the Alaska Road commission for the present i'm posing structure across the river, which no flood can reach. Its d good thing we have the new bridge noW,' is the most common statement heard, and, while it does not con tain direct expression of the gratitude oI the people, 1t might be said to speak volumes in regard to their feeling in the matter. For all know only too we'll that the prevailing high water of the past few days would uI- doubtedy have swept out the old bridge and thereby would have neccsstated the expendi- ture of a considerable amount of money fo1 repairs on the part of the city.
 Fairbanks is therefore going through a period of money saving insofar as bridge eN pendltures are concerned, and the saving made possible by the construction of the bridge will amount to a comfortable sum in a few years. In fact, had the bridge been installed Ill the early days of the camp, or at the time when the trails with which 1t Is supposed to collaborate were first constructed, the saving to the city would have been in the neghbor- hood of S5O,OOO This would have offset the present municipal indebtedness more than twice over. It can therefore readily be seen that Fairbanksans have cause to be grateful to the road commission.

ceived an ovation such as even she had never before experienced.
 Miss Pickford has also spent much of her time recently at public gather ings to stimulate recruiting for both the American and British armies By way of backing up her plea for the purchase of Liberty Bonds, she personally subscribed toward this loan up to the extent of S100,000. Another patriotic act by America s Sweetheart" was recently disclosed bulance to the Los Angeles Red Cross for service in France
 Although she has accomplished much for Uncle Sam, Miss Pickford feels that her past efforts will ap- pear insignificant as compared to the great good her new patriotic pie ture, "The Little American," will do when it is released next month It is felt that this production presents the famous little actress in what should prove the most stirring patri- otic appeal ever filmed. Shown, as it will be, simultaneously all over the country, its effect will prove a hundred-fold greater than any of her many personal appearances and eff forts The picture is now being cut and assembled by Director Cecil B. De Mile and will be released by Aircraft on July 9 Written special ly for Miss Pickford by Jeanie Mac Emerson, who was responsible for the story of Joan the Woman" and many other screen triumphs, this sub ject promises to prove the most spec tacular and stirring vehicle in which Mary has ever appeared.

JACK POMER0Y
 PREPARING TO
 SHIP ANTLMONY

That he antimony industry, which during he early days of the war promised 10 put Interior Alaska on the map as producer of the metal second 10 no other camp in the world. but which later failed on ac- count ot d slump in the market. is not yet dead one by any means. is he statement of Jack Pomeroy. who. as the partner of Si Scrafford, the one time antimony king, so-called probably knows more about the min ing and handling of the metal than any other man in the interior And his faith in the industry may be judged by his works. for the firm of Scra ford X Pomeroy is now en- gagged in extracting antimony ore from at least four lodges on as many creeks of this part of the Panama Valley, with MT .pomeroy here as superintendent of operations and MT Scraffold handling the Outside end of the business.
 Activities are being carried on at the head of Fairbanks creek, on Chatham creeks, on Treasure creek and on Ester creek The Eagle mine at the head of Treasure and the Chatham Mining company property on Chatham are both old antimony producers, but the Roy Mcqueen property on Ester and the McCarty ground at the head of Fairbanks creek are comparatively new in the matter of producing antimony. IL was fro.n the Eagle mine that Messrs. Scratforl and Pomeroy shipped most of their antimony when they first started to mine tx metal
 Good sized crews are working on all four properties, ana COnSlutfaDlt ore is being taken out. It is now lying on the dump or is sacked up waiting for transportation. This is one of the greatest drawbacks in the game, particularly in view of the fact that the recent rains have made the trails very bad. Regardless of all draw backs, however, MT. Pomeroy expects to have upwards of 200 tons of antimony shipped Outside by the time navigation closes.
 Mr Pomeroy made no statement relative to the price of antimony at the present time He did state, how ever, that quotations being received here now are not correct. Nor can they be, according to his statements, by reason of fluctuations in price from east to west.

JUST THINKING I.OUDI, ,Y.
(ketchikan Progressive-AIiner)

If reports can be relied upon, we might as well bid you good bye Governor, for just as sure as God made the little apple, the Democratic Machine is after you. It has been on your trail for several years now; and you know how heartless the "bcast' can be when 1t wants to.
 Yes, Governor, your disposition to be fair to all Alaskans has been misinterpreted and you are accused of having favored Republi- cans. At least in spots. Not only that, but you are accused oi having favored "Wick for delegate, a man who is neither Republi- can, Democratic, Independent, Socialist or anything else, but just simply "Wick Man. instead of nominee ol your party. Of course you admit that this IS bad enough, but they are accusing you of worse than that. Yes by far worse than that, and that is of being a Republican at heart. As such you have lost the machines confidence i'll your usefulness and must go in order to give way to mar roWer gauged official.
 You are too broad for the track laid by the machine Governor ConclusiNely, if you wanted to retain the position you should have contracted your mind to conform with the track. A broad gauged car cannot run on a narrow gauged track. You should have known as much, Governor, and since you in sist i'll being broad, you must get off. The machine does not carry broad minded men. It makes it top heavy, and dangerous to travel on, and there you are.

SULzER AT TER
 ZONE SYSTEM

WASHINGTON, D. C., June.-Deti- nite plans for the inauguration of special parcel post zone system in the Territory of Alaska are being worked out by the post office depart ment, according to information given to Delegate Charles A. SulZer fol lowing recent conference with First Assistant Postmaster General J. C. KOOns The matter has been turned over to specialist in parcel post matters with instructions to devise a system that would eliminate the in justice of the present uniform zone system. A conference between rep resentatives of the post office depart ment and the interstate commerce commission soon will be expected to bring about fruition of the plan.
 MT. Sulzer is deeply interested in this parcel post zone system. When in the legislature two years ago he was an ardent supporter of the Tan ner memorial to congress urging the adoption of just such system. Tt costs as much now to send pack age from Juneau to Douglas" Dele gate Sulzer said in discussing the unjust discrimination against Alaska "as it does to send the same package from Pensacola, Florida, to Point Barrow. Alaskans pay the same pound rate for four-mile haul as the residents of the States pay for 5.000-mile haul
 One of Mir Sulzers first acts upon coming to Washington was 10 obtain appointment on the committee on post offices and post roads. with the idea in mind of assisting Alaska 10 get better mail service.

The launch SunflOwer, formerly the Gibson Girl the property of Tom Gibson, of Fairbanks, was sunk this morning just above the mouth of the Totatlanika river. The launch was being used in towing 2,500 ties and 30,OOO feet of logs which had been secured at Eat em-up" Frank Lem berg's place on the Panama river, and was in charge of Irving Alderman. When the boat and it's tow reached the mouth of the Totatlanika, the current from the river threw the tow toward midstream, flinging the launch toward the bank. Seeing this, Alderman, the engineer, cut loose from the tow and started around it with the launch, but the boat hit a snag and went down, having torn a hole about one and one-half feet in diameter in her bottom.
 The Midnight Sun and a crew of men and a large quantity of equip ment will go to the scene of the sinking tomorrow and make an ef- fort to raise the boat It is believed that the Sunflower can be salyed with but little trouble.
 The Sunflower had just been newly equipped with a new seventy horse capable of making a speed of about twelve miles an hour upstream.

THE KID HAS GONE TO THE COLORs

THE KID HAS CONE TO THE COIORS The Kid has gone to the Colors, And We don't know what to say; The Kid we have loved and cuddlcd Stepped out for the Flag today. We thought him a child, baby, With never care at all; But hi, country called him man-size- And the Kid has heard the call. He paused to watch the recruiting, Where, fired by the fife and drum, He bowed his head to Old Glory And thought that it whispered "Come!" The Kid, not being a stacker,
 Stood forth with patriotjoy To add his name to the rest
 And, God. we're proud Of the boy The Kid has gone to the Colors;
 It seems but a little while Since he drilled a schoolboy army
 In a truly martial style. But HOW he's d man, a soldier,
 And we lend him listening ear; For his heart i> a heart all loyal,
 Unscourged by the curse of fear. His dad, when he told him, shuddered His mother-God bless her !-cred; Nct b1c>t with mother-naturc, She Wept with a mother-pride But he whose old shoulders strengthened Was granddad-for memory ran To years when he, too, youngster Was changed by the Flag to a man!

SIX MEN WANT
 COMMISSIONS

A few days ago Commissioner Reed W. Heilie received six appli cation blanks for entrance to the off cers' reserve camp at the Presdio next November The blanks were sent here under the decision Of the war department to grant Fairbanks twenty candidates for commissions in the officers reserve corps of the army No other blanks were re- ceived in this division by eommis- as far as can be learned, although it is stated that some have arrived at Fort Gibbon, but just how many is not known.
 Owing to the fact that so few ap- plicatiOn blanks were received here, their arrival was not advertised. The mere announcement that they had been received, however, caused rush for the commissioners office, but only six men were eventually successful in securing blanks. And it is now understood that the appli- cations of these men have been sent to Lieutenant Colonel P. w. David son, adjuatant general of Alaska.
 Those who managed to secure blanks and who have sent them to Col. Davidson are Ray s. Steel, Ed ward G. Morrissey, Homer Amend, Rod G. Donaldson, Mack Smith and Harry Abercrombie.

A HospitabIe "Cracker."

A young lawyer down in Florida
was running for a certain Office and
with the idea Of getting their vote, un-
dertook to cultivate the acquaintance
of all the Crackers" Country people,
for miles around.
Stopping his horse one evening in
front Of little shanty, he inquired Of
the old man lounging against the door
II he might spend the night at his
home. "Sure, partner" said the old
man, stop and light" The lawyer
lighted" and followed him into his
abode, which consisted of one room,
with bearskin stretched out in one
corner, the trophy of hunt and also
the only bed of the hunter. A pump
kin served him for pillow. In an
swer to the lawyers wondering look
as to where he was going to sleep, the
Cracker" pointed to the bearskin, say
ing with great magnanimity: "Stran-
ger, I tell We what we'll do-ye take

Rice Thrown Away at One
Wedding Equal to Soldiers
Food Ration for Whole Day.

The custom of throwing rice at we'd
dings is a wasteful one, in the opin-
ion of G. e. Vail of the Colorado Agri-
cultural college.
ut is unnecessary, to say the least"
he declares, land If one stops to con-
slider the probable amount thus wasted
in the entire United States each year,
one is the more impressed with the alb
surdity of the custom. At the present
time, when the whole country Is
aroused to the need of food production
and food conservation, the throwing
Of rice at weddings Is matter for the
attention Of those who are trying to
solve the food problem. Rice has
fuel value of 1880 large calories per
pound, as compared with 1905 calories
from white bread, 1855 from cornmeal
and 1926 from potatoes. The United
States soldiers food ration is about
1920 calories per day. In throwing
away three pounds Of rice there are
wasted 1880 food calories. The lesson
should be quite obvious"
