"A oLOAy ludI ESduS ike the reg Leg or other lost mine is being po- pularly connected with the trip of Bursik and M'Intosh to the wilds of the farthest Kobuk This story which was vouched for by an Indus trial Worker informant says that q native named Dave Black while ia Nome circulated a story to the effect that he knew place away off in the far distant KobuK where the nuggets were as plentiful as the pebbles on the beach and as large as Jonathan apples. He volunteered to show the place providing. It was provided and the Bursik and MIntosh stalking expedition finan- ced by many prominent men was the result: the dog teams sallying forth with the native to get in on this wonderful new bonanza. Whether it was genuine or whether Blake the aboriginal discoverer want ed to get the prices of commodities due to a sudden and unwonted in- f1ux of gold rise to unheard of heights--if the greatest stampede in the history Of the north becomes an accomplished fact, the name kobuk will be one to conjure with. If not then Dave Black is a son Of gun.
 Patronize the Nome Tailoring Go. Why? Because they do the best work, and- are the only pioneer tailors in Nome.
 A survey of the mining in this district shows that prospecting dur ing the winter has been greatly scattered. The concentrated atten- tion noticeabl in certain favored localities like Dexter last year for instance is not very much in evid- ence. Like last year there are good number still taking out large and small dumps on Center creek. On Dexter too, several dumps are mak- ing their appearance but there is no such activity as last season. A noticeable improvement for the bet ter is on the submarine where on a new channel several are lined up and with nothing very rich ill sight will probably take out fairly good dumps. The old third beach line centering around the Diamond L has had lots of notice this winter. but outside the Diamond L itself where Frawley and Go. are taking out nice dump no very great improve ment is noticeable as the season ad- vancos. Close by the Scandia. Bo- lander is drifting and is in what is considered fair pay. Lindberg and Hager are sinking on the Bessie and with results unknown so far. Between the Bessie and Little creek ona outfit is doing work on the Mabel Bench while on the Three Star Sutherland and partners are making good headway. There are about the same number of wage workers employed as last year

group as a whole. Nine months of
war and personal contact with their
constituents during the congressional
recess, apparently has changed the
viewpoint of former pacifists in the
delegation. At least this is the i'm
preston gained from talks yesterday
with Senators and Representatives
from the State following President
Wilson's stirring address before the
joint session.
"Speaker Clark was outspoken in his
belief that all of the Germanic al
lies should be included in any war
resolution that is presented to Con-
gress.
"There is no question about it, the
President certainly made strong ad-
dress, and l thoroughly endorse it,"
Clard said.
Speaker Clark's friends in Missouri
are hoping that since his visit to
Missouri during the vacation of
Congress, he will find his way clear
to properly represent the people of
this district by cordial cooperation
with the President, at least during the
war. Mr.. Clark's constituency don't
care so much about his insolent and
intoIerent attitude toward their wish
es, as they do for the comfort the an
ti-administration forces receive, both
in this country and in Germany.

trict and in Congress and in the
whole world is the war between

DRILL SAND IN ROADS

1T is an admitted fact that the
proper mixture of sand and clay
makes a well-packed road, and there
is no better way of applying sand to
stretch of clay road than by drill
ing it in with a grain drill. The OPEN
ings in the drill can be set to apply as
much sand as needed, and uniform
distribution is assured. The rule can
not be reversed, of course, in applying
clay to sand road, but here we find
another farm tool useful, according to
the State Highway Department, and
the manure spreader can be used to
advantage. The tools for this char
acter of road improvement are found
on practically every farm, and when
the Missouri farmer learns that it
pays to mix sand with clay in order to
improve dirt roads even the byways, as
well as many of the highways, will be
improved by this method.

SPEAKER CLARK AND PRES
IDENT WILSON'S

SPEAKER CLARK is reported in a
dispatch from Washington as saying
that it is ridiculous" that the Pres
ident did not declare war on Turkey
and Bulgaria at the same time he did
on Austria-H Hungary. We guess it is
too much to expect of Speaker Clark
to cordially and intellectually en-
dorse any statement or any act OF
President Wilson. In the meantime,
we note that the Speakers "bell boys"
are announcing that he will be re-
nominated without opposition. The
fact nevertheless remains that the
Ninth Congressional District of Mis-
souri, should have a man in Congress
who cordially, whole-heartedly, and
unreservedly endorses the adminis-
tration in the war against Germany.
We are glad to see another dispatch
from Washington to the effect that
"Missouri's delegation in Congress,
divided on the original war declara-
tion against Germany, will vote as u
,rit 70 make war on Austria-Hunga-

INTENSIVE TRAINING NOW
AT CAMP FUNSTON, KAS..
Carter Vaughn, of the Ledger, Writes
the Men are Being Rounded Into
Shape Rapidly
USING REAL WAR TACTICS
Have Experienced the Thrill of Hear.
ing Bullets Whiz Past and Done
a Little Shooting Them
selves

Carter Vaughn, of the Ledger staff,
who is with the National Army at
Camp Funston, writes the following
interesting letter of the change in the
character of training which has taken
place within a short time:
DEER Mitchell and Force:
CAMP FUNSTON. - If there was
a man in Camp Funston four weeks
ago who thought the camp was a sort
of form or formality, that the drafted
men were being drilled just to bluff
the Kaiser or encourage the Allies,
and that we would never see actual
service, the chances are about ten to
one that man has changed his mind.
Nearly everything that is done out
here now makes it look like we are
being whipped into shape in double
time to lick the Kaiser and. not to
bluff him.
The days of the squad right variety
of drilling are almost thing of the
past. Nearly all of the drills now
are extended order or skirnish line
formations, the same that will be ex-
ecuted when we get "over there"
Yesterday the men were given an
other physical examination and those
who are not absolutely all right will be
either discharged or transferred to
other branches of the service.
Today was Sunday, but we worked
just the same, and hard days work
it was, too. We got about as near
actual fighting as is possible today
The 354th Inf. went out on the tar
get range, west of Ft. Riley, shot their
own brand new guns from real trench
es and used the same high-powered
ammunition we will fire at the Hun.
Not only did we find how much noise
'our side" made, but we got the ex.
perience-the thrill of hearing the
bullet whiz over our head, for we tool
time about going down to mark the
targets. 1t is tired bunch and there
are some mighty sore shoulders, too.
Special schools for details of non.
commissioned officers are held every
afternoon now, and the non-coms whC
are taking the course will upon com,
pletion, give the instructions to thu
other men of the companies.
One bunch is learning that ther'
are several parts to an ordinary arm!
rifle and that it is not a playthinl
and another bunch is studying the au
instructions on general throwing whil'
another is finding out that bayonet
are not to be used as toasting irons
Camp Funston is very war-lik'
place. I hope to get to come hom
and to Mexico before l go over. Civ
my best to the Colonel, City Editor an'
everybody, and by all means dom
fail to tell the carriers "hello."
Yours, CARTER.

Mrs. George Uptergrave Dead

Mrs. George Uptergrave, of Buel.
died at the Hospital Wednesday
morning at 1 o'clock. She has been
very i'll for three weeks and while her
death was not unexpected, her many

Mrs. Uptergrave was SO years Of age
and was formely Miss Helen Hens
ley, of Buel. Besides her husband, she
leaves five children, six brothers, one
sister and mother to mourn her
death. The body was taken to Buel
for interment. The Ledger with
