QUIT CONTRACT
 AT BIRD POINT
Rock Hard to Handle Along Arm Contractors Use Powder m
 Quantities

Teko & Go abandoned their contract at Bird Point on June IS A small camp has been established at that place and the work will be completed by a Commission force. This camp will be known as No. S2.
 The station contractors in general are making satisfactory progress. V. Picogno & Co. put off a successful coyote shot at Bird Creek during the week, moving $500 cubic yards of rock with 5000 pounds of black powder. A. Hall & &Co., BoStrom X Co.,, and Anderson & Co.,, contractors between McHugh Creek and Sheep Creek, put off small coyote shots which were also successful. Chas. Larson & Co.,, at Station 251S, south of Sheep Creek, moved about 1000 yards of rock with 5000 pounds of powder; Lake X Co.,, at Station 2554, north of Sheep Creek, moved 5000 yards with 5750 pounds of powder; and Prezinos X Co.,, at Station 2574, north of Sheep Creek, moved D. 400 yards with 2S5O pounds of powder.
 Considering the three-mile haul made by the dinkey trains the steam shovel at Rabbit is handling a satis- factory amount of material.
 At the close of the week of June 23, 1172 employees were on the payrolls of the district, classified as follows: Stationmen 556, Stationmen's laborerS l36. Commission force 4S0.
 Two 4x4 log culverts, one at Station l745 plus 30 and the other at Station I749, were completed during the pc riod.
 The clearing work south of Bird Point has been handicapped somewhat on account of the great care neces- sary to be exercised by the contractors while burning brush. Several fires started during the week, all of which were brought under control without much delay or damage.

MRS. RIGGS RED
 CROSS WORKER
Secures Many Members During Cam paign at Nenana In Past
 Month

That Mrs. Thomas Riggs, Jr., is some Red Cross worker is demonstrat- ed by the fact that she is inducing practically every Nenana resident to become a member of the Red Cross so- ciety She was appointed as chairman of the Red Cross committee for Ne mana and 100 of the tags were sent to her, with the expectation that she could not use more than that, but she telephoned today to the officials of the Women's Loyal League of the Panama Valley, saying that she had disposed of the hundred tags and asked for 200 more.

ACREAGE

Having for sale at a most reason able price some of the choicest land in Resurrection Valley I therefore invite inquiries from those that contem- plate the purchase of any number of acres. The success with which all of those who have already bought acreage in the Ole Martin homestead are meeting in cultivating these lands is the best evidence you can secure of what the soil can do.

Covington, Tenn, Apr. 10, 1917.
Dear Brother;-
/ am addressing this letter to more
than 100 men who are members Of
Oak Grove or Liberty churches, and
some other attendants on our services,
and ! hope you will receive it in the
spirit in which it is written.
have read history diligently for
thirty years and my soul has been
stirred often as / have read the ter
rible stories of suffering from famine
and hunger and pestilence through the
nations Of the earth.
But the stories that are coming to
us now Of the awful sufferings in the
warning nations Of Europe are the
most frightful that | have ever yet
read. When the preacher paints the
pictures Of the awful fortunes of hell
it is but a little worse than what we
are now reading.
We do not expect these awful condi-
tions to come to us with all their suf-
fering and anguish and hunger. And
yet there are fearful possibilities be-
fore US in this, our own nation. The
authorities at Washington are send
ing forth warnings every day in the
papers of a present shortage of food
and telling us that it is, sure to be
worse in a little while. Circulars are
being sent out by the thousands with
the hope of getting the warning to
the people in time for them to save
themselves in some measure by plant
ing the things necessary to eat and to
feed stock. Feeling that some of the
people among whom ! minister might
not get this warning, ! am writing
you this as a Waterman on the walls.
/ love to see the people prosperous
and it always stirs me to see suffering
anywhere.
| am urging each one to whom This
may come to see to it that not only
he himself may plant sufficient stuff
to feed his own family and stock, but
won't you feel that you too, are a
Waterman on the wall and encourage
your neighbor to join in this campaign
to feed ourselves. The country is caI-
ing on you to help in this awful hour
of the worlds greatest need. Oh, let
us heed the call now before we hear
our own children crying for bread that
we can not supply.
While the call is to the whole coun-
try there comes a special call to the
South. The South has never fed itself.
We have raised other crops, cotton
chiefly and brought from afar the
greater part Of our food. To be sure
that is not so bad under ordinary con.
ditions. But we are not living under
ordinary conditions. We are now en-
gagged in the most awful war the
world has ever known. And the food
supply win finally settle the issue.
Some day the war win end, and that
will be when some country can not go
any further for want of food. This
must not be our own free land and
chiefly because our own beloved South
land would not heed the call and feed
itself and help feed others.
This is a time when every citizen
should have a chance to raise food Tor
his family and little ones. We should
love our neighbor as ourselves and re-
member that We are cur brothers
keeper.
Praying the rich blessings Of heaven
upon each one of you / am sending
this forth as a brothers. warning. /
greet you as patriots Of the Good Old

CHAPLAIN t. ]. MGILL'S
CIVIL WAR EXPERIENCE

The state senate's chaplain, the
Rev. 7. j. McGill, was lieutenant in
the Confederate army. On two occa-
sions he was captured inside the Fed
Grad lines in Tennessee, the first time
with papers on his person that would
have convicted him of being a spy.
He was brought to Nashville and for
while occupied a cell in the old
state penitentiary. The Federals at
that particular time we're much excit-
ed over certain military movement
and in the rapidly shifting scenes the
papers found on Lieut.. McGill were
lost. Later he was included in list
of Confederate prisoners sent forward
for exchange.
While at the old penitentiary he
witnessed the hanging Of Confed-
crate captain, who was put to death
for the same offense for which he
himself was in prison--captured in
side the Federal line.
Lieut.. McGill was again made a
prisoner soon after his exchange,
while recruiting a company in West
Tennessee, and sent to Northern
prison. During his confinement in
this prison he began q religious re-
yival in which both Confederates and
Federals became warmly interested,
and from that day to this be has de-
voted himself entirely to the service
Of the Savior.
DR.. McGill is m years of age and a
Methodist preacher, He lives at Mar
tin, Tenn He served as chaplain in
