SOLDIERS WIVES CANNOT DRINK
 ID EXCESS
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Feb. 27. - Loss of sepa- ration allowances is the new form of punishment meted out to soldiers wives who are found guilty of drink ing to excess a second time This action, taken by the military authori- ties, was found necessary to curb the appetites for drink of the wives of soldiers at the front.
 Under the newest order the police have power when a soldiers wife is taken to a police station for drunken. ness to detain her till she is sober and dismiss Rer with "an appeal to her better nature." If after second warning she persists in such irregu larity of conduct" loss of the separa | ton allowance ensues.

UNION r F0RMED ] If If SOLDIERS
 AND SAILORS
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Feb. 27. - What is prac- tically a trade union of soldiers and sailors and their dependents entitled to pension or separation allowance has just been organized. It is called the Naval and Military War Pensions and Welfare League. It's objects are to prevent corruption in the adminis- tration of pensions and to see that Justice is done to pensioners in "this and other wars"
 Some idea of the power that the new organization may wield in the af' fairs of the nation may be gained from the fact that there will be 6,OOO.0O0 discharged soldiers and sailors, who form at least half the electorate ol the country.

The belief is gen eral, l believe, that the big people there are forever trying to squeeze out the little ones.

HAPPENINGS IN NE|GHB0R|NG
 TOWNS

The benefit entertainment given at Nenana recently for James E. Deth- lefson, former night watchman who lost the fingers of both hands by freez. ing while fighting fire, netted the sum of $500.
 ] Ferdinando and Assinta Nerattini have brought an action against the Pacific Coast Gypsum Company at Juneau for damages in the sum of s2,4OO for the death of their son, Faf. felele Nerattini, at the mine on Oc- tober 3, 1915.
 J. F. Bennett, a well known laundry worker at Fairbanks, attempted sui eide recently in the Vienna lodging house by cutting his throat with a knife. He missed the jugnlar vein. but partially severed his windpipe Physicians say he will recover.
 The report of the marshals office shows the total disbursements for the quarter ending December 31, to be | S4S,996,96, which is an increase of S7,OOO over the same period of last year. This increase went into sup port of prisoners and jury fees. The citizens of Wrangell and vicir. lty are circulating a petition for the purpose of securing government aid in the construction of a road from that place to Groundhog basin, where there is large number of mining claims being developed.
 Frank Powell suffered a severely frozen foot while fighting fire at the Yukon Gold Company's mess house at Guggleville, near Dawson, and who. it was thought, would lose several of his toes, is rapidly recovering. and will probably save the entire foot.
 The sawmill of Roberts and Ed mundson at Roosevelt about 25 miles out from Seward, was destroyed by fire of unknown origin recently. The mill was engaged in turning out ties for the Alaska engineering commits sion.
 TWO moose are reported to have wintered at a rancher's barn in the upper Susitna valley. The animals were driven in by the deep snows, and have been fed and cared for all win. ter by the rancher, who states that he will turn them loose in the spring.
 The Skagway Alaskan says that as Juneau claims the only real wind in Alaska, the Ta<u, and as several other varieties are known to flourish there. the appellation of the Windy City" might be very properly applied to that burg.
 The Panama Rifle Club of Fairbanks is arranging to form a Ladies' Auxil- iary to the association. The plans are well under way and definite organi- zation will be formed in the near fu- ture. The idea is being received with enthusiasm by the ladies of the town.
 There are to be two reindeer fairs held in the Nome district by the bu- reau of education for the native deer men. These will be at Igloo and No atak, and as in former years the fairs will also be the occasion of consider able athletic events where the natives will disport themselves to the best ad- vantage.
