IN CASE OF FIRE

It is we'll for the business men and property owners of Nenana to remember at all times, and particu- larly when there is a fire, that our fire apparatus is hand propelled and that the members of our fire de- partment are not sufficiently num- erous to drag the equipment through the streets unaided. It is a heavy load and its promptness in respond ing to an alarm of fire depends upon the number who assist in its propulsion. In other words, the first thought of Nenanaites, when an alarm is sounded, should be of the chemical apparatus, rather than the fire itself. Go first to the fire hall and help haul the chemical to the point where it is neded. By doing that you will navc rendered your town a real service in time of need.

The Oldsfield home, near the cor ner of Third and A streets, was the scene of a small blaze early Thursday evening, the fire having been caused by an overloaded stove pipe. The blaze, which rose several feet above the top of the pipe was discovered by William Rodigkeit, proprietor of the Tavern cafe, who hastened to the fire hall to turn in the alarm. The chemical apparatus arrived on the scene promptly, but its services were not required the flames having been checked by several men who climbed upon the roof and filled the pipe with snow. ..:-..

EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS.

In the opinion of Delegate Chas. A. Sulzer, the patriotic response of Alaskans to the nations call for men and funds is doing the territory a whole lot of good. The country is seeing Alaska in new light, y said the delegate during h-s recert visit to the Alaska coast. From all parts of Alaska our citizens have come forth with patriotic zeal and volunteered their services Tn all branches of the amy and navy. For the Officers Reserve corps," he continued, lover 500 patriotic Alas kans clamored to be enrolled under the allotment of twenty-seven ap- portioned for Alaska. Alaskans have freely left their occupations and rushed hundreds of miles to an swer their country's call to arms, and they have given liberally of time and money to support the noble work of the Red Cross and they have been most liberal in upholding the hands of the government by pur- chasing Liberty Loan bonds. These things are the more creditable be- cause Alaska is long way from the center of activities From the open ing of the special session of congress to the present moment there has not, to my knowledge, been a single pro test or complaint from Alaska against any of the various measures the government has taken to defend the liberty of the free people of the world.
 Alaska is loyal to the core and it's loyalty and earnest support has been very favorably commented up on in many quarters. It has done much to give the nation at large a true perspective of our citizens, and every Alaskan in the military forces of the country and every dol lar contributed from Alaska to the support of the war, will be so many missionaries, not only performing the highest duty citizen can per form, but spreading the truth about Alaska, its resources, it's grandeur and its people,

An Anchorage woman recently accused her husband of trying to make her drink carbolic acid h. vestigation developed the fact that it was whiskey, and not carbolic acid, that had been offered the woman. Whereat, one of the coast papers re- marked that ''it takes an expert to tell the difference between Anchor age whiskey and carbolic acid"
 This is of interest to Interior Alaskans because it goes far to prove that our liquor dealers have no monopoly on that particular brand of hootch.

DAY, DECEMBER 22, 1917

We should not believe all that we read in the telegraphic dispatches regarding disclosures. Conditions probably are not so bad as some of the investigators would have us think they are. But they are serious enough to warrant probing and it is safe to predict that our war prepar- ations will be hastened materially as the result of the investigation.
