 I am at present suffering with Ia severe cold but 1 trust it will not run into the influenza.
 I did not know of the death of Claude Sims till l got the ARGUS yesterday of Oct. 18th. I read his letter and admired his manly form in the picture you printed, and thought the poem you printed so very ap- propriate to his case and for his parents. l do sympathize with them so much for his future life did mean so much to them. But it is like Claude said, there are many others who have had to bear the same sad experience and his advice to his mother, ito be brave," should help to releive their saddened hearts as he tells her he was in a noble cause.

ABOUT CLAUDE D. SIMS
 WHO DIED IN FRANCE.

MT. and Mrs. w. K. Sims have recently had several letters from the officers and chaplain of the command under which their deceased son Claude D. Sims was serving at the time of his untimely death in France some weeks ago.
 All of these letters speak in the very highest terms ofClaude Capt. Charles Rudd, Captain 7Sth Field Artillery among other things said, ''Your son was well liked by the men in our company and just before his death he was honored by being chosen to attend Officers Training Camp. My sincerest sympathy is with you in your sad bereavment."
 The following is another in teresting letter from the Doctor who attended Claude.
 France, Nov. 9th. 1918. Mr. and Mrs. w. k. Sims,
 Brinkley, Ark. U. s. A.
 Capt Rudd, to whom you wrote in regard to the illness of your boy, has written you as also another officer of the Supply Go. and has asked me to write you also as 1 was well acquainted with Sims, as we called him. l happened to be the Recruiting Officer at Camp Doniphan, U. s. A., also the M. D. in charge of the Recruit De- tachment in a medical way, and it was there that Sims first came to the regiment.
 In our work there we gave the typhoid prophlaXis etc, and Sims had the same preparation as the rest of the boys of course and 1 noticed him at once and had him assist us with the work, he making out the records etc, with us, in that way got to know him we'll and enjoyed his friendship very much, Saw him constantly while he was there at the camp, and on the way across the states to Camp Mills. and across the ocean and thru the countries we have passed thru since landing.
 He is buried at Val-c hon. in the cemetery there, along side some other of C, boys, his lot is marked carefully as are the others and a record of it is with the proper authorities.
 Sims did his duty in enlisting in our army, he did his duty in the army and was liked by all. Because of his ability and trust wort he had been picked out to send to an officers training camp, but became sick before sent to the camp. He was with us right along and I am glad to say was all that you could have desired.
 Sincerely Yours G. R. Reay, Capt. M. c. 18th. 1 F. A.

COMING BACK
The Steamer Queen iCty to Re.enter
the Pittsburgh and Cincin.
natl Trade.

Recently the river business has re-
ceived considerable attention from
shippers and commercial bodies along
the waterway relative to an old-fash-
ioned revival of the good old-time
steamboat days when large and pala-
tial steamers were frequent visitors
at our landing.
Last week the Pittsburgh and Gin
cinnati trade was re-opened by the
Liberty Transportation Company
placing the steamers S. L. Elan and
Omaha in the run, and a third, the
familiar, popular and palatial steam
er Queen City, at one time the pride
of the upper Ohio, will be added. This
packet was recently sold to the Lou
isville and Cincinnati Packet Com
pany, and that company has decided
to place her back in the original trade
and Tuesday night she passed up
for Pittsburgh. She is the most mod
ern boat on inland waters, has been
recently overhauled and has a capa-
city of 1000 tons of freight and 14O
passengers, is 2S6 feet long, A feet
wide. feet deep and has twenty-four
inch cylinders, with an eight-foot
stroke.
With the return of the Queen City
to this trade it will make Pittsburgh
rank first as an inland waterway ter
minal. Including this packet, there
will be five steamers leaving that end
of the river, the S. L. Elan and the
Omaha and the Vernie Swain and
Reuben Dunbar of the Ohio and Kama
wha Transportation Company.
These packets will liven the old Big
Muddy up again to come extent and
will help considerably to relieve the
railroad congestion that has been on
for some time.

In addition to the many ways the
Scouts heretofore have been aiding
the Government, they are now called
upon for highly important service,
to take, under the slogan, Every
Scout to Explore for War Material"
black walnut census. This census
will be taken this week.
The National War Savings Com
mittee, at Washington, says that "On
June 2Sth, every man, woman and
child in the United States will be call
ed upon to pledge his or her full
quota of War Savings Stamps pur-
chase for 1915" The Maysville Scouts
will assist the local committee. If
Scout calls on you, you will be ex-
pected to pledge the full amount that
you can afford-no more-and surely
no less.
You needn't wait until June 2Sth, to
make your declaration of intentions.
Meet the Scouts who call upon you
with smile. If you send our Scouts
away without giving them your
pledge, you will be doing nothing to
assist your Government to unmask
the "Potsdam Plotters" who said to
our ambassador, american had bet
ter look OUT You can not, perhaps
get into the thick of battle and meet
the beast but you can be true to

Savings or Thrift Stamps, double your
subscription. If you have never made
pledge do so as true American.

QUIET NEW YEARS

DOUGLAS, Jan. In honor of New Years day away back in 1736 Fielding wrote as follows:
 This is a day, in days of yore,
 Our Fathers never saw before;
 This is a day, 'tis one to ten,
 Our sons will never see again"
 And they won't miss much if they don't. Today, like it's vanguard of one week ago, is more favorable to staying indoors than to getting out. The weather is not cold but the Chinook wind ;as made the snow so soft that getting around is very diff ficult, the snow having been from three to four feet deep previous to settling late yesterday afternoon. All the business houses on the Island were closed today and stiffness a la Sunday is prevalent. No public announcement of at homes" have been made and New Years calls will not be general. Family dinners will be enjoyed this evening, but the day is being mostly devoted to rest and inertia.

OBSEQUlES OF J. B. QUIETLY OBSERVED
 IN DOUGLAS TOWN

DOUGLAS, Jan. l.
 "Not drum was heard, not a funer-
 al note
 As his course to the rampant we
 hurried;
 Not a soldier discharged farewell
 shot
 Ger the grave where our hero we
 buried"
 The foregoing, descriptive of the midnight burial of Sir John Moore away in revolutionary days, may aptly be substituted by future Alaska historians in describing the passing out" of certain other John whose surname is - or was - Barleycorn, whose death gurgle was heard here last night on the stroke of 12, the word "gurgle" being used advisedly. Worn out with lifes pilgrimage
 dready,
 John layed down his staff like one
 that is weary.
 and passed away much more quietly than many of his victims have pass ed after contesting with him for the better part of their lives. John Bar leycorn died, so far as his legalized status in Alaska is concerned, an undefeated champion and when sur viving old-timers of the rush days take a retrospective glance through the vistas of the past and recall the number of good fellows who per sistently combatted old John until they finally took the count, their manhood and honor must prompt them to admit that 'twould have better had the strong arm of Uncle Sam, the peoples representative, stepped in years ago and ruled John out of the ring before he numbered among his victims many hundreds of the best men who ever came to the broad white North.
 There was considerable drinking here last night but no disorder. Several of the bars were short on certain brands of hard" goods, but enough was found to cultivate nu- merous jags.
 Promptly at midnight the glims were doused and the doors locked Fortunately the night was mild and if any fell by the wayside later, the weather was not sufficiently se- were to cause them any injury. few who had encompassed "sing- ing" brand, lifted up their voices in profusion of discords after reaching the streets but the spirit of music was lacking and the dis cordant notes "ies' sort O petered out"
 None of the eight bars were open
