the fire ought be shut up in asylum for IDIOTS for
us TO offer peace terms the present rulers OF Germany
confessed vioators OF peace agreements would be both
doc and dshonorable regardless OF what might be the
effect upon the Of humanity
We endured much, lost much for the purpose OF avoid
ing this very dilemma which there IS neither honor
nor safety in talking peace with the unprncped,
unso upuous rulers with whom the German people seem
to be content Volators Of all international rights and
vioators Of all agreements with the crowd with
whom we will engage in friendly parey at this stage

NENANA RIVER
CURRENT TURNED;
DANGER IS OVER

The water difficulties along
the right of way. south of Ne
mana. resulting from the shift
ing channel of the Ncnana at
Lost slough. have been practi-
cally overcome. according TO
Commissioner Riggs, who was
on the ground several days
during the week. At any rate,
Mr.. Riggs says, the water had
started moving in another di-
rcction at the time he left, on
Thursday, and he believes the
troublesome channel has been
permanently diverted.
The first attempt to turn
the current away from Lost
slough having failed, the at
lacking forces were shifted to
"A point a mile and half up
stream from the slough, where
a second and what appears To
be a successful attempt was
made to divert the water. At
the time Mr.. Riggs started
for town the water WAS moving
back into the main stream
rapidly. with Il consequent low
ering of the water i'll Lost
slough. by tomorrow, it is
thought. the water at that
point will be sufficiently low
cred to enable livestock to
cross without danger. Among
the first horses to cross very
likely will be ten head for the
grading camp of Herb Wilson.
Travel between the end of
the road and the more remote
camps has been resumed. boats
having been provided at the
places where it is necessary to
cross the streams. New hridg
eS, to replace those wrecked
hy the high water, will be built
as rapidly as conditions will
permit, and it is expected that
all the damage will have been
repaired within a short time.
The grading south of Nena
Ma is now practically complete
as far as Thirtyfivc mile and
the Stationmen beyond that
point are reported as making
rapid progress with their work.

to pillow the tract of land which
he had cleared earlier in the

cleared now and will plant the
entire tract for hay.
The homestead is close to the
railroad. about a mile and a
half south of town. The soil is
rich and of good depth, capa-
BILE of producing an excellent
quality of hay and vegetables
of all kinds, although it is not
the intention of the homestead
er to devote his time to garden
ing. AS rapidly as he can get
the land cleared he will increase
his oat acreage. The homestead
was located last May.
As soon as he is through
with his blowing. Farmer Irvine
will build a house and barn
and otherwise prenare to make
