4 Chalet With a History.

This site has picturesque history.
a chalet camp was originally built
there several years ago by the comp
any operating the east side hotels.
Long after the close of the first seas
on and just before alternating time,
a big grizzly bear broke in and de-
voured everything eatable. He then
proceeded to smash into bits every
thing in the chalet which was smash
able. Not a piece of furniture was
left undemolished.
The next season the hotel company
reftted the chalet and took care of
the summers business; but that fol-
lowing winter an enormous avalan-
che slipped down the eastern slopes
of Mount Jackson and demolished
the entire structure as completely as
the grizzly had previously demolish-
ed its furniture.
This discouraged the hotel COM
pany; the chalet was not rebuilt.
But a resthouse was badly needed at
this spot, so the Department of the
Interior is replacing the chalet with
a shelter cabin. The materials for
the building of the cabin are con-
veniently at hand.
Another of the shelter cabins will
be found at Iceberg Lake, that wond-
er spot SO near to Lake McDermott.
1t will serve as the luncheon kitchen
and resthouse for thousands who
make the amazing one-day trip from
McDermott to gaze upon its gigantic
gorge, explore its mimic glacier, and
revel in its berg-dotted lake.
Other shelter cabins will be found
on the Triple Divide and at Red Eagle
Lake.

WOODEN SHIPS
STORM CENTERS
GoethaIs Charged With Max
ing Building Conditions
Too Difficult.

P WASHINGTON. June 8. - Differ
ences over the governments wooden
ship building program came 20 a
head Thursday night when F. A.
Eustis assistant general manager
OF the emergency feet corporation,
and his assistant, +. Huntington
Clark. issued statements virtually
charging Maj. Gen. George ". Goe-
thals. general manager OF the cor
poration. with hating building Of
the vessels by prescribing an i'm
possible form Of contract.
The statements reveal that the
feet corporation has just received
offers from 10 firms 10 build 496
wooden ships within y months. or
7S6 within IS months Gen Goe-
thals has turned the proposals down
because the builders wish 20 con-
struct the ships on a cost plus 10
percent profit basis, instead OF con-
tracing for a fat price for the
ship
Originated Wooden Ship Plan.
Mr. En- SITS and Mr.. CLARK are the
mining engineers who originated the
wooden ship building plan adopted
by the shipping board and regard
ed by Gen. Goethals as impracti-
cable. When the board formed the
feet corporation and put Gen. Goe-
thals at its head with full powers TO
build ships the two engineers were
assigned TO the corporation as the
generals aides.
After taking charge OF the build
ing program. Gen. GOethals turned
10 steel construction and limited the
wooden program 20 not more than
$50 ships in is months. Mr.. Eustis
and Mr. Clark contend the cOrpo-
ration can build 1000 wooden ships
within that time without interfer-
ing with steel building.

THE board has not insisted that
either wooden or steel be given pref

Goethals has not requested any as

SERGEANT MocLINrocK
Make 8 Break"

Through my training in the V. M. L, I was able to read semaphOre sig nals, and l caught the message from the destroyer which escorted us. It read:
 Each ship for. herself now. Make a breakr'
 We beat the other steamers of our convoy eight hours in getting to the dock in Liverpool, and, according to what seemed to be the regular system of our operations at that time, we were the last to disembark.
 The majority of our fellows had nev- CT been in England before, and they looked on our travels at that time as q fine lark. Everybody cheered and laughed when they dusted off one of those little toy trains and brought 1t up to take us away in It. After we were aboard of 1t we proceeded at the dizzy rate of about four miles an hour' and our regular company humorist- no company complete without one suggested that they were afraid, 1T they went any faster, they might run off the island before they could stop We were taken to Bramshott camp, in Hampshire, twelve miles from the Aldershot school of command. The next day we were given kings leave" -eight days, with free transportation anywhere fin the British Isles. It Is the invariable custom to give this sort of leave to all colonial troops immedi- ately upon their arrival in England. However. fin our case Ireland was bar red. Just at that time Ireland was no place for a newly arrived Canadian looking for sport.
 After that they really began to make soldiers of us. We thought our train ing in Canada had amounted to some thing. We found out that we might as well have been playing croquet.
The daily Alaskan., 1917-08-28

We learned more the first week of our actual training in England than We did from November to April in Cana da. I make Ris statement without fear that any officer or man of the Canadian forces alive today will dis agree with me, and l submit 1t for the thoughtful consideration of the gen. tlemen who believe that our own armies can be prepared for service here at home.
 In this war every man has got to be a specialist. He's got to know one thing better than anybody else except those who have had intensive instrue- tion in the same branch. And, besides that, he's got to have effective general knowledge of all the specialties in which his fellow soldiers have been particularly trained. can illustrate this. Immediately upon our return from first leave in England we were divided into sections for training in eight specialties. They were; Bombing, sniping, scouting, machine gun fight ing, signaling, trench mortar operation, bayonet fighting and stretcher bearing. I was selected for special training in bombing, probably because l was sup posed. as an American and a baseball player, to be expert in throwing. With the other men picked for training in the same speciality, I was sent to AL dershot, and there for three weeks, twelve hours a day, l threw bombs, studied bombs, read about bombs, took bombs to pieces to see what made them tick and put them together again and did practically, everything else that you could do with a bomb, except eat 1t.
 Then I was ordered back along with the other men who had gained this intimate acquaintance. with the, entire bomb family. and, we were put to work teaching the entire battalion all that we had learned, When we were not teaching we were under instruction a,,-seIves by the nen who had tskea

speclal rrammg III other branches. Also at certain periods of tho day We had physical training and rife prac- tlce. Up to the time of our arrival in England intensive truining had been merely fine phrase with us. During our stay there it was a definite and overpowering fact. Day and night we trained, and day and night 1t rained. At 9 o'clock we would fall into our hunks in huts which he'd from half to whole platoon--from thirty to six ty men-and drop into exhausted sleep, only to turn out at 8 a. m. to give a sudden and exact imitation of what we would do to the Germans if they sneaked up on US before breakfast in six inches of mud. Toward the last, when we thought we had been driven to the limit, they told us that we were to have a period of real, intensive train ing to harden US for actual fighting. They sent us four imperial drill ser geants from the British grenadier guards, the senior foot regiment of the British army and the one with which we were affiliated.
 It would be quite unavaillng for me to attempt to describe these drill ser geants. The British drill sergeant is an institution which can be understood only through personal and close con tact and is about as cordial as loose electricity. If he thinks a major gen. eral is wrong he'll tell him so on the spot in the most emphatic way, but without ever violating a single sacred tradition of the service. The sergeants who took us fin charge to put on the real polish to our training had all seen from twenty to twenty-five years of service. They had all been through the battles of Mons and the Marne, and they had all been wounded. They were perfect examples of type. One of them ordered all of our commission ed officers, from the colonel down, to turn out for rife drill one day and put them through the manual of arms while the soldiers of the battalion stood around looking on.
 "Gentlemen," said he very politely In the midst of the drill, when I see you handle your rifles 1 feel like fall ing on my knees and thanking God that we've got a navy"

A Call For Volunteers.

On June 2, after the third battle of Ypres, while Mcfarland and l were sitting weartly on our hunks during a strange hour in the afternoon when nobody had thought of anything for us to do, a soldier came in with a message from headquarters which put 8 sudden stop to the discussion We were having about the possibility of getting leave to go up to London. The message was that the First, Second and Third divisions of the Canadians had lost 40 per cent of their men in the third fight at Ypres and that 800 vOlun. teers were wanted from each of our battalions to fill up the gaps.
 Forty per cent" said Mcfarland, getting up quickly. My God, think of 1t! Well, I'm or to tell 'cm I'll go."
 l told him l was with him, and We started for headquarters, expecting to be received with applause and pointed out as heroic examples. We couldn't even get up to give ill OCr names The whole battalion Lad gone Up ahead Of us. They heard about 1t first. That was the spirit Of tlG CaL@,..a2s. It was about tL.s time that Q s,oTy went round concerning an EuEiSh colonel who had been called u"OT to furnish volunteers from his oUrCt to replace casualties. He backed his regiment up against a barrack wall and said:
 r NOW, all who don't want to volun- teer ste? three paccs to the rear
 l. In our battalion sc:ScaEtS and even officers offered to go as p::v2teS. Me Farland and I were not accepted; our volunteers went at Cnce. and we were re-enforced up to strength by drafts from the Fifth Canadian division, which was then forming in England.
 In July, when We were being kept on the rife ranges most of the time, all leave was stopped, and we were ordered to hold ourselves in readiness to go overseas. In the latter part of the month we started. We sailed from Southampton to Havre on big trans port, escorted all the way by destroy CTS. AS We landed we got our first sight of the harvest of war. A big hos pital on the quay was filled with wounded men. We had twenty-four hours in what they called a rest camp" We slept on cobblestOnes tn shacks which were so utterly comfort less that 1t would be an insult to 6 Kentucky thoroughbred to call them stables. Then We were on the way to the Belgian town of Poperinghe, which Is 15O miles from Havre and was at that time the rail head of the Ypres salient We made the trip in box cars which were marked in French, Flight horses or forty men," and we had to draw straws to decide who should lie down.
