OF Y..M. (. A. CLUB
 AT THE FRONT

Notwithstanding all we read about the good work of such organizations as the Red Cross and the Y. M. c. A.. 1t is only when 1t Is brought home to us in personal way through our acquaintance with some one at the front that we grasp full realization of 1t. Ocular evi. dence of the comforts afforded the men at the front by the Y. M. c. A., and proof that the soldiers appreci. ate and avail themselves thereof. have reached us in letters from the Keys boys. who are with the 617th Aero Squadron, in the training camp at Kelly Field. Texas. These letters are written on stationery provided by the Y. M. c. A. The note paper is a good qualify of bond. six inch es by nine inches in size and ruled. At the top of the sheet Is the in. scription with the Colors" printed in freedom blue. To the left of this legend appears beautifully col ored print of the American Flag. and on the right Is the red. white and blue emblem of the Y. M. C. A. In addition to stationery. the Asso- citation provides warm. comfortable reading rooms. writing tables. games. moving picture shows and other forms of free entertainment of clean and wholesome nature. all of which helps to keep the men con- tented. and profitably employed in their leisure hours. and precludes any excuse for seeking amusements of a less elevating character. The funds for this work are largely raised by popular subscription. in the same manner as funds for the Red Cross work. and every communi. ty in the United States Is doing its share.
 It Is for this purpose that the sacred cantata. Mary of Bethany" supplemented by patriotic enter tainment in lighter vein. Is being given at the Auditorium Tuesday. April 2nd. The production is prac- tically withsut expense. except for a nominal charge for the hall and few incidenta.s. hence almost the entire gross proceeds will go direct to the Y. M. c. A. fund. Rehear. sals have been in progress for over two months. and the participants are letter perfect in their parts. The play itself is a masterpiece of sweet simplicity. and the music is magnifi. cent and will appeal to everyone. The supplementary entertainment is full of motion. music and merry maid. ems, and the living picture tableaux. consisting of Fairbanks fairest forms and faces in patriotic plastique poses. will be veritable works of art. Aside from all considerations of patriotism or charity. the entertainment solic. its the patronage of the public en. tirely on its own merits, and Is con. fident of favorable verdict.

MAKES CHANGE
 MAIL SCHEDULE

Due to weather conditions, the local postal authorities have deemed it fit to change the mail schedule as far as pertains to the lower river.
 The regular schedule calls for the mail to leave this morning at an early hour. This has been changed to the hour of four o'clock this after noon. With this change the local officials feel that better time can be made by the carrier travelling during the night when the trails are harder than doing the day. when warm weather makes the trail soft. Those who intended to send mail to the lower river and neglected it still have chance to get their letters of by mailing them before the hour of this afternoon.

PROPAGANDA OF GERMANY SHOWN
 AT CAMP LEWIS

In a recent letter from her broth CT. Sergeant Lloyd w. Drury. who is now stationed at Camp Lewis. Mrs. John A. Clark is advised that German propaganda has more to do with the reports emanating concern. ing conditions existing in that camp than anything else. In speaking of the general condition of the camp he states the following:
 Would not advise you to send us any photograph records; there are millions of them in the camp. Ev- cry company has a photograph. and by exchanging back and forth we have excess to an enormous variety.
 "The food Is just as good as ever, if not better We have regular baker now for the pastry; he was in the company all the time. only we didn't know 1t. By all means, do not send anything to eat, except candy, and do not advise anyone else to send other than candy. There is not any better food than we have every day. An hour in the snow white kitchen would convince any one. Never make any reference to quality of food or clothing or bed ding, other than complimentary. Tiny little rumors develop into the most awful tales in no time. Every time you hear anything depreciatory to this camp. or any. other camp. say that you do not believe 1t and you know it is not so, because 1t isn't. Countless German propagandists are working right in this camp; their object is to nlisinform the public. The more rumors you kill the more Germans we will kill. Get the rumor- killing habit"

currents, the salmon enter extremely fat, healthy and with astonishing vim. As salmon eat nothing when once in fresh water. the energy ne. cessary to carry them up, and still farther up. against all obstacles. is drawn from the fat and surplus flesh brought in from the sea by them. On the other side. the salmon of the short stream. and with but little to contend with, comes in from sea with eggs nearly ripe. little or no fat and poor specimen generally when compared with his brother of the long run.
 There is one method of running the salmon run of the Yukon. That is to fish 1t indiscriminately from its mouth to the spawning beds of the river proper and its tributaries, and to slaughter without regard to pack |or consequence. Even under such a system 1t would require a surpris. ing number of years to reduce the river to a fishless watercourse. But this is not the idea at all. The aim is to build up paying business, to help those who help us. to allow the river to maintain It's presumed stand ard. to treat the Indian as we would a white, to recognize the conditions of the far north. to be constructive instead of destructive. in all, to create a benfit instead of 8 calami. ty.

FOR
 TWINS HELD IN THOMPSON HOME

At the home of MT. and Mrs. Ben Thompson last evening complimen tary reception was held in honor of Miss Bernice and Miss Wilhel- nina Thompson, who arrived in Fairbanks on the 18th of the month
 Many fellow members of the Odd Fellows lodge. to which order Ben belongs, were present and offered the welcoming congratulations to the sisters. Among those present were several who had never seen chee- chacoes so shortly after their ar rival, and many were the wondering comments made. Some of the compli- ments paid were of a high order and fiattering, but the maidens are pos sessed of a rare sense of modesty and unblushingly accepted them at their worth.
 AS a mark of the esteem in which the parents are held. the lodge mem bers made the girls each present of a beautiful lavalliere with which to enhance their beauteous charms. The surprise of the recipients was SO great that they were unable to express their thanks, but will wear their presents as a remembrance of their first reception in Alaska.
 Although they have been in Alaska and Fairbanks for only short time just IS days, to be exact, 1t is un' derstood that they intend to remain for some years and become part of a great and growing community Many of the guests present last night are already planning a series of entertainment for their pleasure

MAIL CARRIER
 FROM CIRCLE IN

Johnny Palm, the Circle mail car rier, arrived in Fairbanks on last nights train to spend a day or two before making the return trip. As a passenger on the incoming trip he had Dan McCabe, who has been at the Circle hot springs for some time.
 The condition of the trail, he re. ports, has improved some since his last trip, although it was rough. The weather condition was such that he enjoyed his first ride of the season on the rig he was driving. His pas senger also was able to ride and not snowshoe as did one on a previous trip.

CAPTAIN ALLEN
 GOES TO ARCTIC

Early yesterday morning Captain Alexander Allen left on his return trip to the Arctic. Capt. Allen re- gently returned from the coast, where he had gone to close out a business deal concerning his holdings in the far north.
 In speaking of the outcome of his negotiations he had not much to say. nor had he much to say in re. gard to his future actions. as he was undecided whether he would con tinue in his northern business oI sell out and engage in some pursuit in the States. It is probable that he will return in about two months, travelling weather permitting.

OUTLAW REFUGE
 IS NOW FACTOR FOR GOOD WORK

DENVER. March 7-Isolated Jack. son Hole. in Western Wyoming. ia. nous as one of the last western re- treats and havens of refuge for train robbers, cattle thieves and other outlaws. embraces now a snow wbound chapter of the Red Cross that is considered by Red Cross mountain division headquarters here the most unique in the country.
 The membership of the chapter is 455 persons scattered over a wide expanse of territory. The only outlet to Jackson Hole for eight months of the year is single wagon road over Teton pass. Through the winter months the members are much more accustomed to seeing herds of from 1000 to 1000 elk than they are a single human besides members of their own households. Today. with the exception of newspapers and tele- phone. "The Hole" Is like the rest of the west was fifty years ago.
 But 1t Is not only for, the soldiers that the Red Cross chapter has been benefit. Until it was organized. Lee Cooper, its secretary. says that motion pictures. lectures. Y. M. c. A. or Red Cross organizations never had penetrated the valley. Most of the houses are built of logs and snow makes travel difficult in winter. but the chapter has record with divi' sion headquarters for knitting and giving other supplies for the troops.
