FAIRBANKS AND
 NENANA PHONE
 LINE COMPLETED

Fairbanks is probably now connect ed with Nenana by telephone, reports having been received in Fairbanks April 24th that the work would be completed within the course of the next ten days. The work is being done under the direction of Carl w (Ole) Peterson, who, with crew of six men, started out from Fairbanks about three months ago.
 It is the intention of the Alaskan Engineering commission to put the phone line to public use. Arrange ments for doing so, however, have not yet been made.

LET ALL STATION WORK, KINGS
 TO CHICKALOON

The steam shovel at Mile II on the Matanuska branch prior to April 21 moved $500 yards of gravel, all of which material was placed in the fill south of Moose creek. This fill is so per cent complete.
 It is planned to let three additional contracts for light grading in the vii cinity of Camp 27. When this is done the entire Matanuska branch above Kings river will be covered by station contracts.
 The road between Hole-in-the-W Wall and Camp 32 was nearly completed at the end of the week.
 A small bridge force was engaged on crib building at the two Chickaloon river crossings. The cribs will be usei as temporary supports for the track.

NATURAL GRAVEL BEDS AT RIGHT
 PLACE FOR USE

Advantage is to be taken by off cials on the Seward division of nat ural gravel deposit near Mile 5. This deposit, which is a glacial formation extends east ward from the foothills of Resurrection mountain and ap- breaches to within 50 yards of the main line near Mile 5, being piled up fifty feet above the surrounding val ley. It was made centuries back as it is covered by a heavy growth of spruce.
 After cutting into the foot of the bank at several places to prove its extent, the engineer in charge ordered side track built along the face of the deposit and will steam shovel it into ballast cars.
 The advantage of deposit above grade over a pit is considerable as heavier loads can be hauled by light engine. This deposit could not have been better placed to suit the needs of the U. S. railroad had it been To- cated to order.

Dickinson, N. d.

On Wednesday of last week J.. M.
Watson sold the Bad Lands Trans
p%ortation Co., at Medora to Schuyler
Lebo. Mr.. Lebo needs no introduction
to the people of Medora, having been
one of the foremost ranchers for
many years and has a large circle of
friends. The new proprietor ought
to make a success of his new under
taking as he intends to run a livery
and feed stable, the mail route and
auto livery and garage.
w. G. Stuhr recently bought lots of
Jaw Brown of Sentinel Butte and will
begin the erection of a residence
thereon as soon as weather conditions
permit. The lots have a number of
nice trees on them and are situated
directly across the street east of the
A. O. maitland residence, making a
very desirable location. Mr.. Stuhr's
house will be of the bungalow variety
and modern in every respect.
Ben Wentland and Miss Bessie
Runions were married at the home
of the BRIDES parents near Sentinel

ceremony was performed by Rev.

A TREE AND A DISEASE.
Malaria and the Effect Produced by
Planting a Blue Gum.

During the latter decades Of the nine
teenth century it was a common prac-
tice to plant blue gum or eucalyptus
trees in districts infected by malarial
fever. 1t was held that the essential
oil produced by the leaves combated
the harmful vapors rising from the
swamps laden with the poison Of the
disease. The discovery that the ma
larial germ is introduced into the blood
all the origin Of the disease.
The theory that the eucalyptus tree
~neutralized the poison vapors is non
sense, yet the fact remains that where
blue gums were freely planted there
was always a notable decline in the
amount of malaria.
What is the explanation Of this cur
cumstance? 1t has been demonstrated
that, of nearly all trees, the eucalyptus
absorbs the greatest amount Of water.
Two seedlings-a blue gum and a plum
were placed with their roots in wa
ter, and the height Of the water was
carefully marked. The plants were
kept in a warm atmosphere and ex-
amined at the end Of twenty-four
hours. The little eucalyptus had dis
posed Of four times the water that the
plum had been able to take up.
Seeing that blue gums increase in
height with great rapidity, often grow
ing many inches a day in a hot posi-
ton, the amount Of moisture taken up
increases on a greatly progressive
scale. And this is just. what brings
about the downfall Of the malarial
mosquito. To complete its life cycle it
is necessary that this insect should
pass its larval stage in pools of water.
With the coming Of the eucalypti these
pools and indeed all marshy places dis
appear, the breeding spots Of the mos
quitoes are gone, and in time the in
sects vanish altogether.

w. N. Stevens of Amidon was in
New England the first of the week
for gasoline and other supplies for
the merchants at the Slope county
seat. Mr.. Stevens has been in the
stock business for a good many years
and says this has been the toughest
winter he ever experienced. He has
had plenty of feed for his stock but
has had to shovel tons Of o every
day to get into the stacks. Another
thing that has bothered is the drift
ing snow covering up the fences
around the haystacks. Mr.. Stevens
says they would dig trenches around
the outside of the fences but these
would be filled up before the next
morning so that it has been almost
impossible to keep the stock from
walking over the fences and making
bad work about the stacks. Spring
will surely be welcomed by the stock
men this year, although there is no
great shortness of feed.

there are middle westerners who repu-

Soldiers and Socks,

The German soldier does not wear
socks, but f%uss-lappen. These are strips
Of cloth soaked in tallow and wound
about the feet. They are supposed to
be preferable to socks, in that they
yea more evenly, are more easily
cleaned and, when properly worn, are
not so likely to wrinkle and cause bis
tiers.
Military authorities disagree, howev-
er, as to the relative value Of socks and
tallow soaked strips. Either covering,
though, is considered preferable to the
custom Of wearing no socks, which has
prevailed in the French, Spanish and
italian armies.-Outlook.

CURBS ARMY LEAKAGE
Men Court -Martialed Will Not Be
Discharged, But Punished
Otherwise.

Secretary Baker has taken steps to
stop a leakage in Army personnel due
to court-martial sentences, which in
clude dishonorable discharge. For sew
eral weeks past from 100 to $50 men
have been separated from the service
every week through such sentences.
In an order recently promulgated
Secretary Baker directs that no sem
tence of dishonorable discharge shall be
imposed hereafter where the offender
has within him the capacity for military
service and where any other appro-
pirate form of punishment is sufficient
to meet the requirements of the case. "
He directs further that when dishon-
orable discharge is ordered, a sentence
to long-term of Imprisonment accom-
pany it and the offender be confined in
a penitentiary or in disciplinary bar
racks.
The effect of the order will be to hold
in the service men who, in the opinion
of their officers, can be made good sol
dfers, when proper ideas have been in
stilled into them. They will be held in
the Army, even though under restraint
with the prospect of restoring them
selves to good standing.
Where dishonorable discharge is or
dered without term of confinement
reviewing authorities are directed that
it is advisable to remit the discharge
and to hold the soldier for service and
military punishment.
