AUXILIARY TO
 RIFLE CLUB |S
 BE|NC PLANNED

According 10 an announcement made yesterday, the Tanana Rifle Club is arranging to form Ladies. Auxiliary to the association. a The plans are well under way, and a definite organization will probably be formed in the near future The idea Is being received with enthusiasm by the ladies of the town, and it is certain that there will be no diff, culty in enrolling a full membership for the auxiliary.
 More interest is being shown To- cally in the work of the club than ever before in the history Of the organization. The old members have been busy since the first of the year, and many new members have already been enrolled, while numerous other people have signi- fled their intention of joining,
 The association is also planning to erect a substantial log clubhouse at the Birch hill rifle range. The club owns a site that is unequaled anywhere, and right close to the spot where they intend to build is q mountain stream with water cold enough to provide any refrigeration that might be needed, as well as furnish water for the clubhouse. IL is the intention of the organization to enclose the entire building with wire screens, 90 that the mosquito pest will cause no trouble With the building of the clubhouse, a rod and gun club will also probably be organized The plans for this, how ever, will be taken up at a later date
 The committee which has been looking for an indoor rifle range has not secured suitable place as yet They have several places under con sderat tion, and will probably select one in a short time.
 While the finances of the aaso citation have always been in good shape, the large increase in mem bership has greatly strengthened its financial standing, and this year is expected to be the banner one il the history of the organization.

DECISION MAY AFFECT ALASKA

Judge Henry McGinn. of Portland. Oregon. in a decision recently hand ed down. held that the part of the Oregon prohibition law which pro hibited the possession of "intoxicat- ing liquor, or alcohol" by individuals is unconstitutional. The decision was based on the fact that such a law is an infringement on the rights and privileges as guaranteed by the national constitution. It is prob able that the case in question will be carried to the supreme court for a final decision.
 AS the Alaska prohibition bill, as introduced in the house of represen. tatives by Delegate Wickersham, con tains practically the oame provision. the progress of the case will be watched with interest by all Al. eskans.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22.-The great preparedness trial l5 on. That is. Thomas Mooney is on trial for hls life for hls alleged anarehisuc connections with the bomb which was exploded during the parade here on preparedness day last fall, occa, sioning the death of several people
 Twenty-Five people testified today Most of them were curio seekers, who told of picking up pieces ot steel and lead on the street in the vicinity of where the explosion took place. Others who testified were police officers and newspaper men who were on the spot soon after the explosion took place.
 The theory along which the prose cution is working in an effort to prove it's ease against Mooney is that the bomb was in a yalise on the sidewalk when it exploded To do this the government is introduc- Ing testimony to show that the bomb contained all kinds of missiles and that it was exploded by clock-like arrangement.

Eastern Scandal
 Is Being Aired
Associated Press>

NEW YORK. Jan. 22.-Frank- lin Stafford. a hotel clerk, is on trial here for perjury in connec- ton with the Tanzer-Osborne breach of promise suit which was tried here some time ago. He is said to have perjured him. self when he swore that James Osborne, a former district attor- ney here and the defendant in the breach of promise proceed ings which were decided in his favor, and Miss Rae Tanzer. the complainant in the same proceed ings, registered as man and wife at the hotel where he was employed.
 The evidence today. however, is considered to have been in Safford's favor, although before 1t looked black for him. For handwriting experts subpoenaed by the defense testified that Jas. Osborne wrote the ardent love letters to Miss Tanzer, signed Oliver Osborne. which letters were not admitted as evidence at the trial of the breach of promise proceedings because they were signed oliver" instead of James" Osborne, the contention of the defense in that proceeding being that the case was not brought against Oliver Osborne.
 The trial of the breach of promise proceedings was very sensational, but the perjury trial promises to be even more so on account of the fact that the Oliver Osborne letters are to be introduced.

NEW BRIDGE ON
 COLDSTREAM IS
 NOV COMPLETE

That the new bridge across Gold stream al the Joyce Lake roaGuouse at the intersection of the Nenana and HoJ springs traIis IS now com plctcd. is the report brought to town by Fred Dunbar one of the pro plletors of the roadhouse. The struc- ture is the connecting link between the Happy trail to the Tolovana country leading to the trail to Ne mana and makes the new trail to Nenana, one whercon there are no hills and over which good sized loads of freight can be hauled with ease.
 The proprletors of the roadhouse put in the bridge at their own ex- pense. It spans Goldstream where the creek is about loo feet wide, with one span. In that part of the coun- try Goldstream runs at the bottom of a canyon which is about thirty feet deep.
 It is expected that there will be considerable travel over the Nenana trail before spring. In fact. all of the stages and freight rigs running between Fairbanks and the new rail road town now use that route Most of the dos teams, however. continue to use the river trail.

ANCHORAGE IS ENTIRELY OUT
 0F FUEL O|[
Especial to The CitiZen)

SEWARD, Jan. 22.-The govern ment railroad officials both here and at Anchorage fear that the attempt to relieve the coal oil and gasoline famine is a failure. No word has yet been received from the tug L. l.. Roscoe, which sailed from here last week with a cargo of the com modities which are so much needed at Anchorage, together with 100 cases of dynamite.
 It was believed at that time that the tug could get to Anchorage with out trouble, as a thaw had caused the ice in Cook Inlet to disperse But zero weather has again caused the ice to form. This is believed to have prevented the tugs passage of the foreland, where heavy ice gathers at this time of the year. Men have been sent out along the bluff south of Anchorage With high power glasses, but they have been unable to see the smoke of the tug.
 But little fear is felt for the safety of the tug and her cargo. For unless she succeeded in getting by the foreland and is now ice-locked, she can return here in safety.

MARKUS NAMES COMMITTEE
 FUR THE YEAR

The Pioneer meeting last night was one of the most enthusiastic of the winter, although not so largely attended as some of them, only 150 members being present. The most important business of the session was the naming of the various con- mittees by George Markus, the newly elected and installed president of admitted to the order. They were George E. Herring and Augustus D. Pratt.
 The new officers of the Igioo are taking hold of the work in excellent shape, according to the report from the meeting held last night. Each is doing his utmost to take care of his particular part of the ritualis- tic as well as the formal work of the organization, and the efforts of all bid fair to be crowned with sue cess such as their predecessors have achieved in the past. A movement was started at the meeting last night to. assist the historian of the Igloo in gathering data of importance to the organization. One thing wanted is the personal biography of each individual member. To the end that this may be secured, each member
 is requested to give to the historian brief sketch of his-the members life, such as date and place of birth, first arrival in Alaska, occu- patton, etc., and also, if possible, a photograph of himself Data of this kind, it Is thought. would not only prove to be interesting to the mem bers of the Igloo and Alaskans in general, but would no doubt help in many cases in locating missing persons.
 The following members of the Ig ] loo, the first mentioned being the ! cha irman, were named on various committees by President Markus: Special Relief committee-Geo. c. Moody. Henry T. Ray F. c. Wise man, c. Harry Woodward, Dr. J. A. Sutherland.

RUTH, RUNAWAY AT II, SUCCUNBS TO ALL
MENT OF ALL NORMAL GIRLS WANTING
TO BE SEEN
BY WINONA Wilcox

BY WlNONA WlLCON
Ruth Lewis, IL years old, Of Hugo,
Okla, has run away from home four
times. She wants to be a movie
queen. She says her home is happy
but it isn't getting her anywhere in
her career.
Probably Ruth's researches in
modern literature have not yet led
her very deep into the study of
suffrage theories. The economical
independence Of woman with a ca
reer has no lure for Ruth. It doesn't
really attract many women.
What gets" Ruthie is glamoT-
just as it is getting hundreds of other
girls who are older than she is.
Ruth. wants to be seen. So does
The greater part Of the yOungish fe-
male population. Now that this con-
tagiOn has attacked a little 11-year-
old in Oklahoma, it probably has
completed conquest of the country.
Fortunately, few mothers find the
disease affecting primary school
girls, but few escape the ordeal in the
Nigh school period.
Then mothers suddenly discover
the symptoms-the lip stick, the
rouge pot and an absorbing interest
in the shape, size and color of shoes.
These things are as catching as
the measles and not so easily cured.
They generally develop into a
chronic trouble extravaganza. And
a few years later, an UnsUspecting
bridegroom will find himself in for
bills his salary was never intended to
cover.
Serious persons all over the land
are trying to stop this plague of bold
and expensive dressing among school
girls. Some private academies limit
the cost Of a pupils wardrobe. Some
adopt a standardized costume like
the MILDLY.
Mothers clubs depIore conditions
and suggest remedies. Some talk of
