1 received note from Dick Miller
a few days ago. He Is with the
Twenty-first London Field Ambu-
lance, which is connected with the
British expeditionary forces. He hap
pened to meet one of our doctors,
who had gone up to where Dick is
stationed, and found out my address
from him. As soon as this doctor
comes back here. l will be able to
find out more about Dick. No doubt
he is in a place where he can get
lets of practical experience, with
perhaps a little excitement on the
side. He is a good ways from here
and 1 doubt if 1 get to see him over
here. although you never can tell.
Those packages which you sent me
will no doubt, come through all
right. The number of our unit has
been changed back to what 1t was
formerly. so is now-U. s. Base HOS
pital No s, American EXpeditionary
Forces. France.
think the Red Cross objected to
our number being changed, so we
were changed to what we were at
first. although the change has no
other significance. I hope there Will
he no confusion about our letters
reaching us. with all these changes.
So far letters have been coming over
in about two weeks and l think
have been receiving all that should

Across in Liner
AS you already know, we left Gov
ernor'S Island on the seventh OF Au-
gust. We had to get up at 4.3O, and
then proceeded to pack up and have
everything ready so that we could
leave at 9.45. We went through prac-
tically the same procedure as when
we left the island the first time, and
although we dare not give the name
of the boat We came over on, L Will
say that there was very little dis
appointment in our ranks when we
saw what boat it was, for we knew
Just about what quarters We would
get In these liners which are con-
Verted into transports, there are varf-
Gus compartments or quarters which
hold a hundred to two hundred men.
We had No. 2 upper for our quarters,
which was. L suppose, the best place
on the boat. There was another unit
in the hold just below us, and we
felt quite elated that we had the
upper berth, as there was more air

FOR CHEAPER ELECTRIC JUICE

Ever since that first Divine command .Lct there be light. " the light question has been one of considerable importance and today it is the paramount issue in Douglas, where dissatisfaction has long existed over the charges of the present lighting SyStcm' cNorbitaut deposits required for meters, minimum charges three or four times high rr than thc amounts of electricity con- stunned justify. and the general "Thc-Pco- pl"-Bc-Damcd" attitude of the Alaska Electric Light aud Power Company. This is the belief held by uiuc-tcuths of the people of Douglas if the expression of a public meeting held Wednesday night can he accepted as indicating conditions
 Individually this paper has never had cause for complaint with the treatment ac- corded it by the above named company, neither have thc prices charged seemed high to us. Compared with what we paid in the interior country for fifteen years be- fore coming here. We considered the prices here very reasonable. But the fact that the Alaska Trcadwcll Gold Mining Com pauv has come Co the front with propo- ,itiou to supply electricity in Douglas at ouc-half the price charged by the mcum- bent concern iS conclusive evidence that thc latter is and has been receiving prac- ticaIly two prices for its service and that the time j, ripe for the bcttcmcnt of con ditious by arranging to do business with the company that has been the guardian angel of Douglas ever since it has been a town and that is now in her hour of need. coming uobly to the rcscue-a company in which all confidence is rcposcd and which will deliver the goods as per contract.
 Al another meeting to be held in Labor Union Hall next Wednesday night the proposition will bc further considered.

Colonel Albert E. Joab is a Tacoma lawyer who last winter complained on and successfully prosecuted a young man of auarchistic tendencies for defaming the memory of George Washington, the young man having stated during the course of a soap-box speech on a street corner that the Father of His Country in his day was a slave owner, blaSphemer and a boozer, for which statements Colonel Joab saw that the young man was sentenced to six months in jail, which time he is now serv- ing. And public sentiment applauded Joab for defending the memory of the i'm mortal Washington Now Colonel Joab is am ardent admircr of the one and only col oncl. former President Roosevelt But the love with which he loves the one and only colonel is exceeded only by the hatred he bears President Wilson, and because the latter did not see his way clear to sending the one and only colonel to France at the head of am army division, Colonel JOab- who had red hair when we knew him twen- tv-eight years ago-waXed exceeding wroth and poured out the vials of his wrath on our president, calling him much worse names that those for which the young an archist of Tacoma is now serving jail sentence for applying to George Washing ton. But where Colonel Joab erred was in not selecting his audience before which he might abuse the president. He under estimated the heat of the fire of patriotism that smouldcred in the breast of w. IL. Simpson. also of Tacoma, and aged Sl years Vim the aged veteran heard Joab refer to President Wilson as a blankety blank. blank and then some, the fire which was smouldering beneath his vest burst into flame, and with a well directed and forceful blow he smashed the nose of the traduccr of the head of the nation and fol- lowed it up with few straight ones that would win respect in prize ring And so pleased was Tacoma over the action of the old man that a collection was taken and the largest American flag to be had was pur- chased and presented to him. Also, many are insisting that Colonel JOab be prose cuted under the same statute he cited when prosecuting the young anarchist last win ter and that he be placed in a cell adjoin- ing that occupied by the latter.

Flour. sugar and other commodities are declining in prices as result of the action or the government in threatening to take a hand in the regulation of prices. As re- suit of reports from Washington number of "whcat hogs went broke in Chicago the other day. The government should make its threat good. There is absolutely mo reason for the existing fuuies in the prices of roodstuifs and all efforts to excite the country by stories of shortage of sup plies should be promptly sat upon.

There was plenty or excitement on Front street this morning whom Garrod. of Council, had his string of dogs ready to start back home.

 Five or six men started dragging the dogs back to the sled when along came a native driving a rein deer. Good Night Nurse!
 Back Of the deer was Fred Vim cent with his string Of Souvenir hunters and Rowdy the leader, yap- ping for the wishbone.
 That deer's chances of reaching the life saving station were great Great
 There was some quick thinking and swift action; the bunch with Garrod's string swung a couple Of dogs around a telephone pole and cinchod in this way the tow line; then by hanging to the rest of the dogs managed to let the deer ease past.
