weather.
AS Nan, in her motor, approached
the chasm bridge, she noticed an au-
tomobile that was standing on a road
near the trestle 1t was Causley's
car. She guessed in a moment that
Rawls and his men had headed her off
and were about to attack her She
did not know why; perhaps. she
thought, for the money she had with
her. perhaps to capture her and use
her as a sort of modern hostage
against Gwyn. A glance at the car
and she threw the throttle wide. The
engine dashed by the cut upon the
bridge, just as Rawls, Drant, Causley
and the others who had left Browns
in the sheriff's car, emerged from the
bushes firing a fusillade of shots
which they intended would stop Mans
flight. The man in the motor with
her opened the coal box to speed the
flames as they rode over the river and
almost lost all the fire when many
of the burning cinders fell to the
bridge, Nan looked back and could
see the bridge over the river beginning
to flame. The cinders had set fire to
the dry logs that served as ties.
When Mans engine drew up before
the main shaft of the mine. she saw
Gwyn and Casey talking excitedlv be-

was evident that something had gone
wrong. The engine had scarcely stop-

1t was over two months now since
anything had been heard from Won

and Casey were standing one, day. be
fore the main shaft of the mine,
watching the operations of the men.
All about them things we're busy. Ore
cars were travelling into and out of
the mine, cars of trains, laden with
cinnabar, were moving along the mar
row gauge railroad which had been
built from the mine to the town, and
which, incidentally had been one of
the big improvements which Gwyn had
installed in Lost Mine.

Well replied Casey. "if they do,

It will be installed by the war department as a part of the present cable and telegraph sys. tenn this month, as soon as the materials can be obtained. Dele. gate Charles A.

 The west coast of Prince of Wales island, embracing a district rich in fishing, marble, copper and other ores, has been isolated because of the lack of cable or wireless connection. The sole, communication of the people there with the outside world has been through weekly mail service from Wrangell and Ketchikan.

 FEVER
tBy Associated Press)

HAVANA, July 10. - Dr. Juan Gui- teras, the Cuban director of santa tion, has received authority from the international health board of the Rocl .efeller Foundation to institute a campaign in other countries to stamp out yellow fever. President Menocal has granted him leave of absence to enable him to undertake the work. Dr. Guiteras expects to be absent from this city about five months.
 The Cuban sanitary official is re. garded not only here but in the Uni ted States, as an expert on methods of fighting yellow fever. AS a mem- Der of the yellow fever commission of the international health board, he visited South American cities last year to aid in suppressing the spread of the disease there.
 Major General William c. Gorgas, chairman of the yellow fever commits sion, has written to Dr. Guiteras, giv- hl6 hili iuil duluOIlly tO investigate yellow fever conditions wherever they may be found in other countries and to make any suggestions that he may see fit toward the extermination of this disease.
 Director Taylor, of Las Animus hos pital. here is likewise operating with Dr. Guiteras in this work For the present it is proposed to start the scientific researches on the island of Martinique and in Maracaibo. The Rockefeller Foundation has consigned pr. Guiteras all the scientific appar- atus, instruments, serums and toxins necessary for the investigation. Dr. Guiteras will leave Havana early this week for Maracaibo by way of Porto Rico. An eminent corps of sanitarians, physicians and civil assistants will ac- company him.

 Delegate Sulzer took up the matter immediately with the adiutant zen. eral. He was informed that the com manding general of the western de partment had the matter in hand. The commanding general of the western department replied to MT. Sulzer's telegraphic inquiries that special order from the adiutant general would be necessary. MT. Sulzer again called on the adjutant general and pleaded Alaska's cause. He pointed out that the Alaskan patriot would make a better officer and soldier than his eastern brother, and cited as an in stance the case of Captain Dan Pullen. of Skagway, who went to West Point from Alaska and graduated at the head of a class of men picked from all parts of the United States.
 The adiutant general was convinced by the time MT. SulZer left, and on June 19 the formal order was issued allotting 20 places to Alaskans in the second officers reserve training camp at the Presidio, Cal. Nevada, with a greater population than Alaska, was allotted but 16 men.

State MiIitias Soon To Go
 To France

WASHINGTON, July 10-The fed the transportation of the national guard which is to be mobilized Aug. 5. In accordance with President Will sons proclamation, the various units will be organized into sixteen divisions and assigned to camps for final train ing before being sent to France.
 Proportions for handling the enOr- nous body of men are being made rapidly, and they will be called upon as rapidly as possible. This means that the draft law will go into effect just as son as 1t is seen that it is possible to house and equip the troops.
 The attention of the officials of the war department is now being turned toward the national guard of the country, according to an announce ment made tonight. Later the draft will be resorted to for the purpose of raising the great army of conscriptiOn says the statement issued.
 The announcement was made for the reason that the war department is beset daily with hundreds of telegrams asking just when the draft will go in to effect by many who will be sol diers when the time comes.
 No new national guard units have as yet ben drafted into the federal service. When they are called out they will be sent immediately to di- visional training camps and there nut through all of the training nee asary to make them good soldiers. It is probable that there will be gen. eral distribution of the units from the with the units from the other states soon after the guardsmen enter the federal service.
 The great problem focing the of ficials of the war department at the present time is how to get supplies. Everything is short; made so by req son of the fact that larg quantities of supplies accompanied Pershing's ex- peditionary force to France. And since the mobilization of forces start ed the regular army has increased to 3500000 men.
