SALMON START RUNNING

Seward, May 2. - Red salmon started to run at Unalaska. This is the information brought back to SewarG' by Harry Ellsworth who ar rve; April II, on the Admiral Farragut. This run is the earliest in the history of fishing along the coast.
 MT. Ellsworth also reported that the cod fishers along the coast are already putting up tremendous packs and all fishermen from the lower end of Kenai Pennsula to Un- alaj." are now working overtime af' ter any kind of the finny tribe.
 "The trip to the westward was an eye-oEener to me-" said MT. Els worth. today. "At Unalaska and other places where live stock is be ing raised the sight of magnificent herds of cattle and sheep would gladden. all stock raisers. Hogs, understand, are being raised in small numbers, men watchinRg the experiments and so far all have beon most successful"

800 LEADING HOTELS
 CUT OUT WHEAT ENTIRELY

| Washington, May 2. = Over five hundred of the leading hotels and restaurants operating throughout the country. at recent conference here, agreed to eliminate wheat and wheat products from their menus for the balance of the pres ent season, in order that their say in0s and their example might be an incentive to help toward saving the wheat products of this country so that shipments to Europe might not be impeded in any way. '-
 Public eating places saved dur ing December 1917 and January 1918. " 21,SSO,O pounds wheat and 47,150,O00 pounds meats.
 During February the Gull meat less and wheatless program was extended through most of the ho- tels o' the country and through the majority of the reSaurants, How ever. the order releasing beef mutton and lamb from the meat less program in certain States in the West resulted in an appreciable increase in the consumption of those meats.
 On the other hand, reports recetv- cd by the Food Administration show a sSVin~ Of about ten per cent more wheat flour over the month of Jan u'ry, Tor the month of February past, although many of our biggest food savinU States have not yet been heard from. The Food Admin isiration believes that the quanti- ty of wheat flour saved during the month of February will amount to considerably more than 15,OO0,OO0 pounds. ." |

We are given a test each Satur-
day morning in receiving and
also an examination in electricity
as we are expected to know quite
a little about electricity in order
to be able to set up radio set
and keep it in order.
There are 123 men here and at
the present under the charge of
a captain and a first lieutenant.
There are two other lieutenants
here, one a doctor and the other
a dentist, so we are pretty we'll
looked after.
When we arrived here they did
not have any cots for us but gave
each man a bed sack and showed
us a load of straw in the back
yard, told us to "hop to it" if we
wanted a bed, and I'll tell the
world we took them at their
word. After filling the sacks we
laid them on the floor, they gave
each of us two blankets and that
was our bed for the first week.

At the end of the first week our
cots arrived so we are all fitted
out with iron cots with springs
which make a good bed. Just
before we came here they erect
ed a large mess hall and the head
cook is a Chinaman, so we get
plenty of rice beans. Ialso think
they got a bargain in cabbage as
we have had cabbage about three
times a day since coming here,
but the feed is good and l have
no complaint to make.
We are called out at $40 in the
morning and from then on until
after supper we are on the jump,
drilling, studying and listening
to lectures in the laboratory.
Yesterday some ladies from
town came out and did our mend.
ing for us. They come every
Saturday and do any mendine
we want done, sewing on buttons
ETC., so we are fortunate in that
respect.
Today we are all invited out
in the country four or five miles
to a big feed which the farmers
are giving for US. They are com.
ing for us about eleven O'Clock

A NEGLECTED HIGHWAY.

A. resident on rural free deliv-
cry route No. 2 expresses wonder
over why the county commission
ers do not repair and make pass
able the -Valsky road.
This highway was built something
like 80 years ago. A mile of grad
ing from the Morris Thomas road
to point near Proctor would &C.
commodate several hundred peo-
pie, it is claimed. In default of
FEASIBILITY over this pioneer road,
travel is compelled to go to
Adolph or the Getchell road. The
LaVaque road, even, would avoid
some of, the roundabout travel
but that is in bad condition. The
farmers out that way commend
this road to the serious considera-
ton of the county commissioners.

Despite a shortage in men, the
foundation work for the round

ago, the pier for the air tank at
the machine shop was poured.
This week the foundation walls
were poured. These are II inches
thick at the top and Is inches
at the bottom. The next story
will be started as soon as the
foundation work has properly
seasoned. From 20 to rs men have
been employed on, this work to
date.
The 9-foot excavation for the
new oil house was completed last
week. Progress was seriously re-
tarded by labor shortage. At
times only about Is men were
available when double the num-
Der could have been worked ad-
vantageously. The forms were put
in place this week and the con-
crete for the underground por-
ton of the walls has been poured.
