GREAT SHELTER BEING ERECTED
 FOR HENRY FORD

DETROIT, Nov. 20-An idea of the vastness of the great smelteI plant in the course of erection by Henry Ford X Son Co.,, can be gain ed when it is said that an auto mobile speedometer shows it to be exactly one mile from one end of the works to the other.
 The present program is to have the monster building, calculated to produce 3,000,000 tons of steel a year and give employment to 30,- 900 men, in operation on New Years Day, 1920.
 None of this steel is to be market ed as Ford will be obliged to work the smelters to their utmost capacity to produce a sufficient output to supply it's own needs for automobiles and trucks.

CHRISTMAS LETTER OF CRIPPLED MINER
 TO MEN IN FRANCE

l's. .ll ' s EN ~The following is A Christmas let ter sent by crippled Alaska miner to the American soldiers in France:
 Juneau, Alaska, Nov. 20, 1917. Dear Soldiers:
 The United States has lots of property here. There are four bill lions of dollars Of gold up here. It is hard to get it out, but we don t care how hard it is. It has to come put, for we want plenty of gold. Soldiers, when you get the last kaiser's tooth pulled, and free dom established in the world, then you will come back home and we can give you plenty of gold crowns Dry or wet, we will get the gold. Gold that comes out of a wet place in the mine, looks nice when it comes to the top where it is dry.
 Soldiers, don't stop for any Ger mans, not ever for fire. Go right through. If you should happen to get shot, and die of your wounds you're dying for better condi- tions. Fight for your rights, your freedom, your government and your own flag.
 Gold is what the Kaiser is fight ing for, and after we dig it out of the ground we won't let him take it away from us, not even square foot of property.
 Long live Americans. Hoorah, {, for President Wilson and long live Uncle Sam.
 My best regards and kindness to you all and happy days as long as you live.
 D. D. BLETER.
