NEW BOAT FOR
 KANTISHNA RUN

Bound for the Kantishna, the pow CT boat Brooks, formerly owned by B. R. Peoples, Inc, and which has been changed over to stern-wheeler since being taken off the Tolovana- Log Jam run, left yesterday morn. ing, having on board load of sup plies and the three ownrs, c. E. LeClaire, Joseph Kaufman and U. H. Mcdowell.
 These men will make an intensive prospecting tour throughout the Kan. tishna district for the location of quartz claims, and expect to be gone for some months. The freight ques- tion as regards that district will also be looked into, and if feasible they will engage in that line of en- terprise also. The only means of freighting to that district during the summer months was by the Tender son launch, and that craft is now at Andreafsky, leaving the field entirely vacant for a newcomer. The freight ing question for that district has always been one to be considered, as the only other way to get sup plies in there is by dog team during the winter months.

THRIFT DAY NOW
 DRAWING CLOSE

Friday. June 28, Is the day set aside by the President as Thrift Day. On that day all those who are able are requested to purchase the smaller securities of the government in as large quantities as possible, either the five-dollar war savings stamps or the twenty-five-cent thrift stamp. It Is expected by the money invested by the small investors that many millions of dollars will be raised for war purposes.
 The local banks have been noti- fled that literature pertaining to the need of the government and the good that can be done by the small investors in taking what they can of these small securities has been sent them. This literature should arrive on one of the next boats. and immediately on It's arrival will be distributed. In the meantime 1t would be well for those intending in. vesting to start saving up quarters

BAND MATERIAL
 IN YESTERDAY

The members of the Fairbanks band are happy, and yet they are not. They are happy because of the arrival of the new clarionets that were ordered some time ago to fill out the number of pieces in the band. They are not happy because of the fact that they have not money enough to take them out of the ex- press office so as to be able to use them on the Fourth.
 The proceeds from their recent concert have not as yet been footed up. but roughly estimating they will have in the neighborhoOd of $1O0 to put on the clear side of the ledger. AS a comparison that amount is no place near $500, the amount re. quired to take the instruments up, and they are at a loss as to the means of raising the required sum. They have small balance in their fund. but the amount from the con- cert and the fund combined falls far short of the amount required to pay for the four new instruments. It will be up to the citizens of Fair banks to help them get the new in- struments if they are to be used on the Fourth.

TWO MORE WILL
 GO TO CIBBON

With the draft quota that will leave on the evening of the 18th for Fort Gibbon will be two addi- tional names. The draft provisions provide that there may be not to exceed two extra registrants sent with the first quota. Under this status the number giong on the Ja- cobs will be 49.
 The two that will make up the number will be Hjalmar Nordale, who will enter service by voluntary induction. Although he possesses a high number and is not subject to this quota, he willingly offered his services and was accepted. The other member will be Gene Zoraeff, who came from Nenana for the ex- press purpose of trying to get into the first quota, and the circumstances were such that his hope his been realized. He had several relatives who were killed in the war, and it is his desire to have a hand in the averaging of their deaths.

SHELDON MADE
 EXCELLENT RUN

The local agent of the Sheldon Gibson line was notified yesterday of the arrival at Chitina of the three autos which were taken out by Sheldon the first of the week The actual travelling time was three and one-half days.
 It is probable that Sheldon will wait at Chitina for the arrival of Commissioner Edes, who is expected to arrive at the coast town with his party within the next few days. Tom Gibson, the other member of the firm, will leave here Monday morn ing and will meet Sheldon and re- turn here. When the trail has dried sufficiently regular time schedule will be maintained for the transpor tation of passengers between Fair banks and Chitina.

CREW LEFT FOR RECONSTRUCTION
 TELEGRAPH LINE

For the purpose of reconstructing certain portions of the telegraph line between Fairbanks and Rich ardson, a crew of men left last night to establish their first camp. about eleven miles out.
 It is the intention to throw the old line along the trail instead of having certain portions of 1t cutting across country as at present The actual work will be commenced with in the next few days. For the past few days Sergeant E. P. Kinlock, who will be in charge of the party, has been in town making arrange ments for the crew, which will be composed of the following: Lineman. Sam Ogden; Cook. Wm. Mcdonald; Teamster, John Roesty; Helpers, J. F. Bryant, Steve Lowing, Wm. Crai- gle, Chris Halverson, Chris German son, Milo Hajdukovich, Emmet Kin. caid. J. B. Pippin and Martin Heath
 The heaviest throw-over will be in the neighborhood of the 21.mile post, where the line makes quite a cut from the main trail. From this point on much work will be done, as the line takes several short cuts at various places. The new line to be established will be put on poles instead of the tripods now being used. It is expected that the entire summer will be taken up in the work.

WINS
 SECOND CAME:
 SCORE E9TO 7

Before one of the smallest crowds that ever assembled to witness a ball game in Fairbanks the Nenana team took the Fairbanksans into camp to the tune of 9-7. The in element weather had considerable to do with the small attendance, and today should see one of the largest crowds in years present
 Matthews, the new phenom, was in the box for the visitors and Fair banks got to him at the start, put ting one across in the first. two in the second and two in the third, when he was relieved by Hansen with two out and the bases loaded. At this time a drive would have meant the loss of another game. as the score was won by the margin of two runs, although Nenana had their half of the ninth coming when the game ended After relieving Matthews. Hansen pitched alright ball. not a hit being made off him, and he held the home team safe all the way. Stroecker. for the home team. went the entire distance and did well. his teammates making two errors behind him that were costly Nenana was charged with four CT. TOTS. The number of assists by the players on the home team was S. visitors 4.
 The teams lined up as follows:
 Nenana-Fuelling, 3b: Anderson, c: Hansen. ss. p; Van Houten. 2b: Fay Tor. If; Growden. If; Doner. of; Blakey. 1b; Matthews, p, ss.
 Fairbanks-Cathcart, of: Brigham, If; Fowler. ss; Koon, 1b; Smith. c; Stroecker, p; Pegues, 2b. If; Bid. well. 3b; R. Watson, If: B. Watson, 2b.
 The score by innings:
 1234 5 789 Fairbanks ......1 23 l 1OOO 0 o O--7 Nenana ........2 2 0 1 o 2 2 o x--9
 es-Matthews, Hansen and Anderson; Stroecker and Smith.
 For today's game there will be some shifting in the lineup of both teams. Fairbanks will call out the reserves and Jess Myers will appear in uniform and will lend consider able strength to the home team The lineup for Fairbanks could not be announced by Manager Fisher last night. The lineup for the visit. ors will be as follows: Anderson. c; Taylor, 1b; Van Houten, 2b; Fuell- ing. 3b; Blakey. ss; Doner, If; Mat thews, of; Growden, If; Hansen, p.
 Hansen has generally proven tough nut for the locals to crack, and with him doing the twirling, opposing Watson, there should be seen one of the best games in years. The game will be called at 3 o'clock sharp. Tickets may be purchased up town so as to avoid wait at the gate. This will be the last game of the series. and it is up to the rooters to support their favorites.

 The postal officials still request that those expecting any quantity of mail make regular trips to the office for the purpose of keeping the boxes clear so as to expedite the rapid distribution of the mail.

TOLOVANA NOW
 LOOKING GOOD

That the Tolovana will produce as much gold this year as any pre- vious one, is the prediction of Cal Franklin, who arrived from there yesterday. The camp is doing well, and many dumps are being taken out.
 The camp, while presenting no un- usual activity is going along nicely. everyone being busily engaged in either the mining game or other pursuits, and not an idle man is to be seen in the camp. The recent departure of number of young men for the Outside has taken nearly all of the younger element out of the camp. and only the old steadies remain. It is doubtful if there will be any more leave for the service until the second draft is called, as every man available will be needed in working the mines there this summer.
