With the American Army in
France, Nov. 22.--An American lieu
tenant from Meeteetse. Wyo., may be
recommended for the first military
medal for honor In this war for his
heroic act in crossing No Mans Land
in broad day, under a heavy fire. ana
! rescuing a private who had lost his
way near an enemy trench.
The private had participated in
patrol led by the lieutenant on the
previous night. Fatigued by the long
wait. while lying on his belly before
the German wire entanglements, he
had fallen asleep. II was only dis
covered that he was missing when the
patrol returned to their trenches.
At daybreak the Germans discover
ed the sleeper before their trench.
They opened fire with rife and ma
chine gun and began throwing hand
grenades.
The private awakened and leaped
into a shell hole. Dazed, he was un-
able to tell in which way lay his own
trenches.
The noise OF the firing caused the
Americans to turn their field glasses
toward the spot, when they discov-
cred the PROSTATE private.
The lieutenant, over the protests OF
his fellow officers. cFawled out and
made his way along . gully toward
the private. He crossed No Mans
Land under heavy rife, machine gun
and shrapnel fire, while the American
machine gunners covered the German
trenches with a hot fire, preventing
8 the Germans from coming out. The
private was rescued and guided safely
back to the American trenches.
Neither one Of the men was hit,
when the people of Montpelier
read the above dispatch. which was
published in the daily papers Of Nov

 The nights have been rather cool also. and frosts have occurred sever al nights recently, although no part cular harm to vegetation has result- e' therefrom.

NOME AND SIBERIA

Nome, Alaska, is planning for the future with courage and cOnti- dence; there is renewed industry in it's gold mining operations, and it sees 8 promise of prosperity in it's commercial relations with Si- DerI4 under the influence Of a more liberal Stay government. Recent issues oI the Nome Daily Nugget reflect the plans for business, for mining and city building, and the new horizon OI hope now opening before its citizens. Thousands OI dollars are iu process of invest ment in new machinery for getting the gold out of the Nome tundra, business is improving, work is plentiful, and Siberian possibilities of trade give assurances of true prosperity.
 says The Nugget:
 "IrrespectiYe Of Alaska or any other mining country ill the world, not one gives the promise as 8 min ing country than that portion of the great Russian domain which is but 8 short days travel from our doors. -
 Under the old regime, Siberia our ueighbor-was to us almost as a closed book. Today things are different under the new provision al government. A few weeks ago we had official notification from them that a custom house would be established in close proximity to Nome, with the idea of furthering trade relations with this country.
 Here We have a country nine times as large as the territory Of Alaska Ut our very doors which abouuds with treasure and which to all iutents and purposes is uneT- plored. The dawn of the awakening of Siberia is nigh, and, with the cessation of hostilities in this mgh- ty war, will come the opening of th.s wonderful country which will mean much for Nome"
 The opening of Siberian resources to development and trade, under 8 progressive and enlightened gov ernment, will undoubtedly mean much to the nearest American city, Nome This outpost of civilization has endured much, we are reminded by the Nugget, through many long, hard winters, and the old-timers who endured with it are there to win, and they shall win. Nome has earned the prosperity that is sure Iy in store for it.-Ex.
