BETHEL TRADER BRINGS WORD OF
 TRADGEDY ON LOWER KUSKOKWIM

spell on the trail between Bear creek and Ophir creek, on the lower Kusko- kwim, that his life is despaired of, and even if he survives he will be practically helpless.
 This was the story brought to Flat on January 19 by Arthur Willis, who came through by dog team from Aniak, where Mcdonnell had been taken almost without stop, in order to procure medical assistance for the stricken man, who was suffering ter ribly. After hurried preparations, Dr. Moore, accompanied by Duke E.. Stubbs, left for Aniak last night. MT. Willis brought word that Mir. McDon- nell was being cared for by Mrs. Stubbs at Aniak, and that everything possible was being done for him un- der the circumstances.
 It appears from the few details ob- tainable last night that Mcdonnell was travelling from Bear creek during the recent severely cold weather and was caught by the storm. What really happened was not learned, but he was lost for nine days, and when he finally succeeded in reaching a human habi- tation, by crawling on his hands and knees, he was in a most pitiful condi- tion. It was stated that his tongue was frozen to his teeth and his hands and feet also were frozen.
 Mcdonnell is a well known resident of the Kuskokwim district, where he has resided for many years. He makes his home at or near Bethel, and is interested in quartz properties near Kolmakoff, among which are some cinnabar propositions from which his sobriouet is obtained.-Q Qditarod Pioneer)

Frank Joaquin, trader at Bethel and Takotna, arrived last night after an 500 mile journey overland, and is at the Seward hotel. He brings word of the death of "Cinnabar' Mcdonnell, we'll known old timer in the Kusko- kwim, who was caught on the trail in January, the night of the eclipse of the moon, fell into an overflow in the dark and was nine days in reaching aid.
 Five gallons of coal oil were used in thawing out his hands, feet and face, but he had been out in SO below zero weather and the frost had affect ed his lungs. He lived six days after he was found, four of which were spent on the trail, he being taken by dog sled to Aniak where he died shortly after medical aid arrived from lditarod.
 Joaquin says that the natives around Bethel are in bad way as result of the order prohibiting the trapping of marten.
 'The natives depended upon marten skins to pay for the flour and sugar and have not figured out as yet how to get along as they received no aid from the government this winter" said Joaquin.
 Joaquin is enroute outside and will return during the summer by boat to Bethel
 The following story of the freezing of Mcdonnell was printed at Iditarod before he died:

A WORD FOR THE
TELEPHONE GIRLS
(By Col. Geo. Bain.)

A sat in the central office of a
telephone Company and watched
the operators at their work. Their
eyes were fixed on the board noting
the numbers as the calls came, while
their fingers flew in making the
connections.
At times one would be behind in
keeping up with the calls, but not a
second was lost in effort to reach
the waiting one.
l said to MYSELF: "Never more
will l get impatient when central
does not answer promptly. She may
be racing as fast as her fingers can
carry her to my CALL"
We go to the doctor and wait
our turn, go to the theatre window,
barber shop or voting booth; but
if central does not answer in five
seconds we want to know if she's
asleep or reading a book.
Let us remember, "there are 9TH
ers," and wait our turn. The con-
tinued beating of bells ON the ear
drum is hard on the nerves. Be
more patient and pleasant at the
phone if you would be just to the
telephone girl.

SOAK EN- EN-, LoUiEl

Members Of Congress are com
planning because Washington hotels
and cafes are robbing them. They
charge that they are required to pay
$500 for a meal that can be pur-
chased in London for SLIGO. 1t hits
them hardest where it counts the
most-in the pocketbook.
Bully! Soak 'em, Louiel Pile it
on and pick 'em to the bone
1t gives us poor devils who are
writing in the strangling grasp of
food spectators an opportunity to
laugh, to howl, to literally double up
and shrek in unrestrained glee.
The fact that the food pirates are
robbing the people blind does not
bother the average gentleman in
Washington, but when the pirate
creeps into Washington and picks
the Congressional pocket Mr.. Con-
gresham roars like a stuck pig.
rs great sport to see doctors and
Congressman gulping down their
own medicine once in awhile.
Go to it! Soak 'em again, and
soak 'em hard!

THE RAILROADS AND
ROAD BUILDING

The attitude of the railroad in
terests toward road building has
been very helpful in the past and
Il is imperative that it continue so
under the conditions obtaining now
and likely to obtain for some time
to come. Heretofore the railroads
have been quick to recognize the
necessity of highways as feeders
to their lines and have frequently
made special rates for the trans
portation of road building materials
and have sometimes provided spec
ial facilities. In the present sit
uation they should insist upon the
inclusion of road building materials
in the classes to be given preference.
As we have pointed out before,
there has never been a time in the
countryis history when road i'm
provement was of greater impor-
lance than it is in 1917. There is
not an industry that does not have
TO pay tribute to bad roads nor one
that would not be benefited by bet
ter roads. Hardly one of the many
problems now confronting the ma
ton but that could be solved more
easily were the roads of the country
in better condition. Expenditures
for essentials, for Injuries,
must be curtailed to meet new ex-
penditures in some lines and large
vi increased expenditures in others,
but roads are neither essentials
nor Injuries. They are essential
essential to commercial develop
ment, essential to military sue
cesses, and essential to social, in
tellectual and moral progress.
Difficulties have been experienced
recently by shippers of road build

A sermon for girls, showing them
the folly of yielding to Aattery, is
contained in "The Soul Master" the
Greater Vitagraph Blue Ribbon fea-
ture which will be presented at The
Tabb, Thursday, August End.
Earle Williams, perhaps the best
liked leading man on the screen stage
today, is featued in the picture, but
the story centers around little Kath-
crime Lewis, who plays the role of his
daughter. The climax of the story is
built up from the time that the girl,
known as Ruth Carroll, consents TO
become companion to a conscience
less woman who acts as agent for an
admirer of Ruth. She leaves her
place as saleslady in the depart
ment store of her father, whose
identity is unknown to her and falls
into the trap that is set by the other
woman and the wealthy admirer.
Miss Lewis, who plays the role of
the innocent young girl with unusual
charm and appeal, says that during
the entire time she was making the
picture she thought of the perils to
which girls are exposed in stores.
"The chief danger as / see it," she
declared, sis the trustfulness Of the
girls. Most Of them are poor and
underpaid, they work long hours and
their lives are empty. 1t is small
wonder that, when designing wo-
man, apparently sincere, comes to
them with an offer of better en-
vironment and an easier life, they
fall victims to the aattery of the
sugary promises"

Remnants of Old "FeudaI System y

That remnants of the old "feudal
system" still exists in remote cor
ners of the world is shown in
"Heart's Desire" Paramount Pic
ture produced by Famous Players
and starring Marie Doro at the Tabb
Theatre tonight. A quaint little
island off the coast of France is
shown which is practically con-
trolled by one family, the head of
which is called the "Seigneur" or
"Lord," and who can exact as much
or as little rent from the peasant as
he pleases. This is an example of
some of the out Of to-way places
where this custom is still allowed to
remain in practice, and the terrible
effect of hard master or owner is
shown in the unhappiness of the
peasants under the management of
Henri lie Rogue who forces them to
increase their rent--or else sacrifice
their property to him. The way this
was changed and peace and happi-
ness restored to the little commune
ty by the efforts of one girl, Fleur-
cite, as played by Marie Doro, is
shown with fascinating allurement
in "IIeart's Desire"

ing materials because of preference
given by the railroads TO other
freight. The order causing this
trouble is understood to have been
modified as a result of protests,
but it is an example of what may
be expected unless those in charge
of the country's affairs can be
made to see not only the necessity
for non interference with road
work, but also the wisdom of doing
everything possible to further it.
Let there be no embargo, either
partial or complete, on road build

| A YEAR ago. late in August, we were
"A talking one day with Ty Cobb about
the Red Sox chances for another pennant.
At that time Boston. Chicago and De-
troit were well punched, with Chicago and
| Detroit finishing at home and Boston on
| the road
Boston may win," remarked Ty, 'if she
doesn't have any bad luck. But suppose
Carrigan should lose some star in the next
few days? Suppose he lost man like
Jack Barry with a long trip ahead while
we were playing at home? There would
be nothing to 1t then. If Barry or Ruth
or Lewis should fall out Boston wouldn't
have n chance"
The dope seemed to be reasonable enough.
Boston had already lost Speaker at the
seasons start and II was considered re-
markabe that she had stayed up so well.
Two days later word came from Boston
that Jack Barry had been badly injured
and would be out for the rest of the season
We Immediately recalled Cobb's prophecy.
The Red Sox were just starting West, neck
and neck with the White Sox and Tigers,
with Barry gone and n hard road trip
ahead.
These were certainly odds enough against
any club.
But you may recall the details. Minus
Barry the Red Sox whipped the White Sox
two out Of three and upset the Tigers three
out of four. OF their seven championship
games against the contenders on the lat
ters' grounds the Red Sox won Ave and
lost two-just enough to leave them in
front by margin of two games.
The Next Test
The Red Sox today are facing their last
western tour. with the White Sox favored
in the betting.
Barry's team must grapple with Chicago,
nj
cago is hooked with Boston, New York.
Washington and Philadelphia.
The odds through this next stretch GER
tainly look to be heavily against Boston's
entry.
But this Boston club in the last two years
has shown such surprising tenacity ana
form under heavy fire that no one can tell
just when it may turn and upset calcula-
tions.
This has been queer season on the side.
The White Sox only recently lost a five
and -half-game lead in eight DAYS,
which shows how quickly a wide margin can
be cut away.

will have a busy time while on her COM
petitive tour of the West, which will take
her to Duluth, San Francisco, Los Angeles
Honolulu and several other cities. While
she is on the trip Claire will not only try
to win swimming titles, but she will have
to be in her best condition to defend the
honors which she already holds. Her first
important contest Is scheduled for next
Saturday at Alameda, Cal, when she is to
defend the one-mile title which she won
last summer. The New Yorker will not
have an easy time in repeating her victory
OF last year, as she has been unable to
train adequately for this distance owing to
an attack of tonsilits. Although she will
be facing the foremost mermaids at a dis
advantage, 1t probably will take new rec
ord time to beat her. She was swimming
faster before her attack of tonsilltis than
when she won the one-mile championship.
