FRANK McHUGH
 BURNED TO DEATH

Brooks, Feb. 4.-Frank McHugh, an oldtimer of Alaska, was burned to death last night, and Jerry Qulnlan, also pioneer of the North, had a mar row escape from death when the cabin in which thay were living was burned to the ground. Both men were intoX- icated at the time of the fire and Me- Hugh was in such a condition that he was not able to get out of the building. Quinlan was badly burned in making his escape, but was not able to get the other man out. After the fire. the charred remains of the unfortunate man were found. An inquest will be held this afternoon.
 There is every reason to believe that the unfortunate death was due to boot logging, and it is probable that arrests will be made within few hours, as the matter is being investigated now. The matter has been taken up with officials in Fairbanks.

If he goes anywhere in France and knocks at the door of home, and they ask who is there, he says, "A soldier of France , The door is opened. and he knows that he is welcome to the best. The busy housewife opens the door to her larder, and he knows that he is welcome there, He does not say he is an officer of France. You will see the French sol- dier, the colonel, the captain, the cor poral. the sergeant, and the private sitting side by side at the table.

You will see him telling his lieu tenant, his corporal, his sergeant, his private. until every man in the French army knows exactly what the objec- tive of the morrow is just as well as the colonel for each regiment. They practice the democracy of their institu- tions, the practical application of it, which is that one man is just as good as another: and I believe that that if we could instill that spirit into the American army we would go far to- ward increasing it's efficiency. If the officer in the American army is too proud to associate with his men or too stupid to teach them, or too indifferent, he is unfit to be an officer, and the quicker he is out of the service the better. 1 saw things in France that do not like to talk of; but I saw fight ing men that we sent over there, men sent by the United States, young, virile Americans, red blood in every one of them, whom we paid to go to France to fight the battles Of civilization. some of them backing the shoes of officers and furnishing them. That is destruc- tive of the morale of any army, and more SO, of course, of an army raised in 8 democracy like ours, where every man is supposed to be as good as his neighbor. We should instiIl some of these things into the American army. It occurs to me that any officer who has decent respect for the uniform of his army would not ask any soldier wearing the uniform of the Republic to become his body servant"

DOUGLAS SQUAW GETS
 WHISKY DESPITE LAW

Jennie Kelly, an 1udian woman re- siding on the beach, near Douglas, was arrested and taken to the Douglas jail in & condition bordering on beastly drunkenness, says the Douglas corre- spondent of the Juneau Empire, Feb. l. Before the matches were made fast and the crownsheets battened down by territorial wide prohibition, nothing would have been thought of Jennie's escapade, but in view of existing condi- tions, it excited considerable comment, and especially in the ranks of the Anal gamated Order of Soaks, of Douglas, at which the following resolutions were unanimously adopted:
 Whereas, It has come to our knowl- edge that an untutored daughter of the forest has, by means unknown to this order, become possessed of sufficient oil of joy to cultivate red and uproarious jag; and
 Whereas, Search as we may, we have been unable te locate even smell of the good old stuff while this unlet- tered and fsh-scented squaw has ap- parently been reveling in it's delights; therefore, be it
 "Resolved, That we fire what Rider Haggard would term our smelling-out committee as being unworthy of the trust reposed in them, they having failed where squaw succeeded; and further, be it
 "Resolved, That we do extend suit able recognition to the ability and genius of said squaw by securing pie ture of her and by hanging the same on the wall of tho meeting place of this, The A-malgamated Order of Soaks."

GRAND TODAY

If any one thliifs that Franklyn
Farnum on account of his infectious
smile and genial manner of screen
acting, is afraid to take chance, he
should see "Fast Company" which
will make its first appearance at the
Grand Theatre today.
In this Bluebird feature Farnum
suddenly wakes up to the fact that
he is a. Irishman, and as such should
fight. Grabbing a six-inch beam, he
swiftly puts four policemen, five
plasterers and three trench diggers
hors de combat, and goes down to
glorious defeat amidst rain of night
sticks.
Mr.. Fsrnum has gained a loyal
following among the fans because of
his agreeable personality, his agility,
and his smiling acceptance of all sorts
of chances. He will be especially
well remembered Tor his work in
"The Clock" in "The Man Who Took
a Chance" and in "A Stormy Knight" !"
Swift moving events, lightly passing
comedy incidents and general at
mosphere of good cheer will make
"Fast Company" ideal entertainment
for t,::cse who love to be surprised
into laughter.
