OUR SMITHY OUTDONE

Kimball, s. D., Aug 30.-The hard luck champion of the mid dle west, also perhaps the great est optimist, is A. W. Boyey, 8 farmer living near here. While moving hay today a spark from the moving machine set fire to the grass.
 The flames set fire to the blankets on his horses backs.
 The team ran to the barn and enroute the burning blankets set a hundred acre wheat field afre and destroyed it.
 The horses dashed into the barn with the moving machine in flames.
 The barn caught fire.
 A heavy wind carried a shin gle from the burning barn to several stacks of grain and they burned.
 After all I guess I'm a lucky guy, I wasn't hurt," Bovey re- marked.

JOE SMITH TELLS
 OF MOORE GREEK

Confirming a report previously received in Fairbanks, Joseph H. Smith, the we'll known Fairbanks and Iditarod business man, told a representative of the Citizen that the Moore-creek property of the defunct American Bank of Alaska will undoubtedly prove to be of value, and probably in the very near future at that. The report previously received and pub lished was to the effect that good pay had been struck on Moore creek in the Kuskokwim country, aud that the ground on that creek held under mortgage by the American Bank, might eventu- ally produce enough revenue to pay off the creditors of the now defunct institution.
 MT. Smith stated that he is practically certain that the ground held by the bank con- tains pay. Good prospects have been found on claims both above and below the ground in question and the mining men of the lower country who have investigated the proposition are unanimously of the opinion that the bank property contains equally as good if not better prospects.
 MT. Smith himself is the owner of tho claim which adjoins the bank property on the down. stream end. He prospected his ground during the past summer and says that from the results secured it is certain to turn out to be valuable dredging property. In common with other mining men of the Iditarod region, he therefore thinks that the same paystreak runs through the two claims owned by the American Bank, in view of the fact that oven better pay than he found on his ground has been located on tho claim which adjoins the bank property on the upper end.

Sit Tight

Douglas Island News: Sit tight and don't be discouraged. True, these are trying times for gold producing camps but better days are coming. There is a prevalent "hunch" that the war which began suddenly, will end the same way and that soon. Then there will be greater demand for gold than has ever been known, the cost of pro- duction will be lessened and Alaska will blossom like full-blown aster. Don't be a pessimist just because your business last month lacked few dol lars of being what it was during the same month last year. Don't blow cold. The best times ever known by Alaska are yet.to be experienced and they ara coming. Stick 8 pin there.

ROOSEVELT SAYS HE
 WAS BLACKBALLED

Kansas City, Oct. "A. - Colonel Roosevelt today, for the first time since the war began, made caustic comment on tho fact that he was not allowed to recruit his special division and take it to Europe. The occasion was Roosevelt's arrival here to take a position on the editorial staff of the Kansas City Star. Roosevelt and Gen. sral Leonard Wood were the speakers at big mass meeting here tonight.
 "This is very exclusive war, "said the colonel. "As far as I am immedi- ately concerned, I was blackballed by tho committee on admission and was given q golden>quill which was to re- mind me that the pen is mightier thxn the sword. As for me, I would rather have the sword"
 Touching upon the war, General Wood said, "1t is utterly foolish to say that America can win the war in the air or with chemical devices. The war can be won only with men and by making sacrifices

OF
HAWAII FACES
SUGAR FAMINE

Hawaii, one of the great sugar
producing countries of the world,
faces famine In refined sugar. The
shortage is already acute and dealers
today cannot secure their normal sup
ply, and within very few days it is
expected, the residents of all the ISL
ands will be forced to sweeten their
coffee and tea with the brown prod
uet OF the island plantation mills.
Reluctantly, the shortage of re-
fined sugar was admitted this morn
ing when grocers began to explain to
customers that they would have to
limit the Saturday morning amount
ordered. Inquiry revealed the fact
that the three jobbers of Honolulu
Henry May & Co., H. Hackfeld & Co.
and Theo. Davies e Co.-had less
than 100 bags in stock
At Honolulu plantation, where the
only sugar in the islands is refined,
the entire stock has been depleted by
purchases and coast shipments. There
will be no additional supply at the
Honolulu mill until December IS,
Eugene Todd of the purchasing de-
partment of C.. Brewer & Co., said
today.
knowledge of the shortage of re-
fined sugar came to- the Honolulu Job
bers on last Thursday evening. 1t was
then discovered there were less than
zoo bags of refined sugar in the is
lands.
quantity of the white sugar was
ordered from the coast by wire the
same evening; the cablegram also ask
ing the price which would have to
paid and when it could be shipped. !"
said Percy Swift, manager of Henry
May & Co. today.
TO this cable no answer has been
received which he believes indicates
that refined sugar cannot be secured
IN San Francisco. The possibility of
shortage on the coast was intimat.
ed some time ago when the refiners
warned the jobbers to limit the sup.
ply furnished to eonfectioners and
grocers.
Mr.. Todd believes the white sugar
shortage is due to an increase in re-
cent purchases by island consumers.
He said that so tons per month is the
normal purchase amount. for the is
land group.
Mr.. Swift explains that there will
not be any actual sugar famine. but
that very likely the island consumers
VIII have to get along for awhile
with brown sugar.

HONOLULAN WITH
POST AT BAGDAD
DEAD OF FEVER

News reached w. Al. Bowen this
week that Charles F. Brissel, former
member of the Mills school faculty
and later of the Hawaiian Trust Com
paty staff, died on October 81, 1916.
at BagdGd, where he had been for
some years United States consul.
Attempts by Mr.. Bowen to communi.
cate with Mr.. Brissel led to the re-
ceipt here of letter from the Ameri-
can consulate at Bagdad bringing the
news of Brissel's death Brissel, an
tndefatigable worker and keenly in
terested in protecting all within his
jurisdiction during the time of war,
worried very much over the hardships
OF the people around him, was greatly
depressed and when finally taken with
typhoid fever, could not rally.
The high esteem in which the for
mer Honolnlan was held by officials OF
all nationalities at Bagdad was at
tested when at his funeral many APP
peared and there were many beautiful
memorial wreaths from Turks and
Others. His body was buried at Bag
dad and at the conclusion of the war
may be brought to America.
