The queen was charmed with her nat
ural manner. gave her a cordial recep-
ton and promised 10 he her friend.

NENANA GOLD STRIKE
(Fairbanks Citizen


 To oldtimers the recent find of gold in railroad cut at Nenana which caused considerable excitement is just another discovery" of that we'll known fact that the gravels all the of the Tanana Valley contain minute particles of the precious metal has led many of them to predict that this valley with all of it's tributary glacial streams will some day prove to be of the greatest dredging propo sitions that the world has known For the fact of the matter is that these minute particles of gold which however, sometimes rise to pay size. have been found in sufficient quantity permit their min ing by any known method of today unless it is dredging
 In anticipation of this expected dredging process mineral claims have been located in various places along all the rivers of the interior places which the most promising In many instances these locations have been allowed to lapse only be taken up by other adventurous prospector In or two cases, however long strips of dredging ground have been saked and it is expected by their that the day dredge starts them will either them or their progeny wealthy
 Such find that made at Nenana recently was similar to the strike" Cinema which caused consid erable excitement here this spring and which caused the government railroad authorities to again throw op en the ground for entry. When they had taken this action considerable stalking done, but, although pans containing as high four dollars found nothing in the way of what could be called pay was located although considerable prospecting done
 Therefore, reasoning by the results of that and other prospecting, there is nothing at Nenana that could be called pay unless such has been found in body larger and of greater values than have been heretofore known The gold there is merely the same prospect that can be found in the gravel any where in the interior

 We may be wrong. But the betting is that the man who spends all his time being proud of his Ancestors is going to have Descendants who are not going to have to spend much time being proud of him.
 It isn't going to do the man who worshps his pocketbook six days a week any good to carry the Good Book on Sunday.
 We have always been curious to know why it isn't Art unless the figures in the painting display their chests and some more of their anatomy.
 The difference between men shoppers and women shoppers is that man shopper will pay 50 cents for a sl article that he needs. while a woman shopper will pay 59 cents for a 29-cent article that she doesn't need.
 We wouldn't mind having more mon ey than brains because we wouldn have brains enough to know it.
 We are proud of the American People during this campaign. of giving that Old Glory may triumph. 7 The old fashioned man whose heart was touched through his pocketbook now has a son whose pocketbook is touched through his heart.
 Married men pearch all the economy and married women practice all the economy.
 Why not put war tax on talk and tax man penny for each 100 words he uses? This would make for peace and cuiet and would soon raise fund of at least $500. .00O, 900, ,000.
 Every young man thinks he under stands women. And every old man knows better. t
 When they are first married she knows that they are going to get along nicely because he earns 25 cents an hour at his work. But little later on she discovers that he spends 50 cents an hour to play pool

ANCHORAGE TOWN LOTS AND EXCESSIVE

STRIKING AT TREASON

Every loyal American citizen will be glad to read that at least German editor has been called to account by the Government for utterances calculated to give aid and comfort to the Nations enemies.
 Dr. Fritz Bergmeier, president of the St. Paul Volks Zeitung, is the arrested. He made the mistake that the traitorously inclined German elements at Lowden Iowa, that the German govern ment itself, that lot of German and proGerman ed- tors in this country have made-the mistake of sup posing that the patience of this Government is un limited and that it could be relied to fight under any circumstances whatever.
 Another happy augury is the circumstance that many of the newspapers printed in the German Ian guage and edited by professional Germans at the out break of the war. and which have seemingly tried to how close they might approach treason without slipping the precipice. have been compelled to suspend publication for want of patronage German born Americans have become disgusted with profes- sionai Germans just the rest of us have.
