SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. "A. - George K. Weeks. General Cam Daign Manager for the Fourth Liberty Loan in the Twelfth Federal Re serve District has just returned from ] conference called by the Treasury Department at Washington for the formulation of plans for the fourth campaign Weeks has been cam Daign manager for the first three loans.
 In commenting on the next cam paign. Manager Weeks said:
 'It is the view of the Treasury Department that the Fourth cam paign should be made distinctly @ fighting campaign Our boys have been, for some weeks, in the thick est of the fighting on the French front and there is no longer any oc casion to impress on the American people the fact that we are in the war or explain the reasons why we are in it.
 We hope to be able to show very definitely to each community from which a given amount of subscrip tions is requested exactly what this amount means, translated into ma terials that are essential for the day to-day support of and use by oul boys in France.
 'In campaign methods we hope to eliminate as far as possible waste motion and duplication of effort and to have presented to every Ameri can citizen, personally, his duty and privilege to be subscriber to the Fourth loan.
 Subscriptions to the necessary amount cannot be obtained without real sacrifice on the part of the American people. Those who have completed payments on their Third Liberty. Loan Bonds should. immed lately, start saving for the Fourth Loan.( in order that they may bs able to subscribe for double the amount subscribed for former is sues. fog only by approximately doub ling former subscriptions will it be possible to make the Fourth Loar the success necessary to adequately support .eur war program"

This is a red-blooded story of the West
 Greek Coniston, son of William Conniston, a Wall Street broker, is ordered by his father to stop spend ing money foolshly and join him in California. He starts westward, talk ing with htm Roger Hapgood, who
 Just for a lark, Commission and Hapeood got off the train at the desert town of Indian Creek. a west ern girl of unusual beauty and charm being the attraction. In a gambling game with couple of cowboys, they win the cowboys out fits.
 With their newly acquired out fits, they ride to the Half Moon Ranch, where the girl, Argyll Craw ford, lives. Conniston telegraphs his father for more money. Word comes that henceforth he must shift for himself. and he accepts the offer of John Crawford, the owner of the ranch, to take job as cowboy.
 Hapgood proposes to Argyll and is repulsed He then sells his serv- ices as lawyer to Crawford's rivals, who are trying to ruin his reclama tion project.
 Conniston breaks a broncho and Ticks" the ranch bully, thus win ming the respect of the boys and

 Word comes from William Con- invested in the attempt to ruin Crawford's project, but young Con niston answers that his honor is at stake and he will not give up the work. Hapgood and the rival owner dynamite the dam, to make the com pletion of the work an impossibility. In the explosion Hapgood, who set off the fuse, meets his death.

Gastineau Gossip
(An Intercepted Letter)

Hello Mary
 scarcely time to think this week.
 I have been so busy have some
 yarn out from Red Cross headquar-
 ters that I must get knitted. So.
 child, l am not even going to spend
 much time on you
 Either not much has happened
 this week or I have been rather un- popular. -sfRs
 Some of her friends gave a shower for Georgia Caro- at the Troys' Mon day night. Georgia is such a dear hat we all hate to see her leave,
 md we are just selfish enough to want to keep her here a few days longer. don't think she intends to leave, now, until next week. She is so busy, packing and shopping. though, that she has little time to see some of us.
 Speaking of shopping. Do you real. ize that Summer Is practically over? do, for my clothes are so shabby. and they look exceptionally so be-
 side the new Fall things shown in
 the shop windows. Vogue says that |you should wear tams this year
 and some very pretty ones are ap-
 bearing in the stores here. But you
 can't clothe yourself with c hat,
 and let it go at that, can you? zee where I do some more window shopping. =as..s Some more Juneau people are go- ng to join you in the South. Mrs. Dupuy. "Snooks," and Gertrude Sag len are leaving on the Prince George. They will visit the Blairs in Van couver on their way down. You
 remember them, am sure, they have visited up here so much All of you people should have lovely time in
 California this Winter Mr. and Mrs.
 ]. A. Hellenthal are on their way
 Q their farm down there; think hey will be in San Francisco for
 while, too.
 Mrs. Alyce Anderson left, for the
 Westward the first of the week to
 pend nine whole months in Ninil-
 nick. Brave, call it. wonder,
 what some of the girls will do with.
 )ut her. They were with her % much. She is so nice and so full of
 pep. saw one of the girls coming from
 he Postoffice the other day with . lot of correspondence from the SAr- yeOn Generals office regarding the Army School of Nursing. It looked interesting. There is such a call for girls to enter the schools for nurs- ng in the South that I understand hat number of them are doing it Instead of returning to college. < Have you seen the picture of Jim Momb and Don Griffiths and the two
 )oys from the Westward who are TOW in training at Camp Lee? He las probably sent one to some of you. Somebody remarked, upon zee ng Jim in uniform, that they hoped 1e could fight as we'll as he danced. ' and Jim was certainly no poor sort fof a dancer
 Do you know that must mail
 this pesky thing to you before foar o'clock Saturday in order to get it in the mail that goes South Monday morning? Isn't that tragic? The nail goes by freight and express, I think-Quite as if it were few bundles of rags instead of so many precious letters.
 Two more of the young boys fr0n
 here left this week for the East te prepare for entrance to Annapolis.
 They are Jack Oswell and Clement Hodges. A party was given for them a few nights before they left. Their guests. some of the high school boys
 and girls. declare that they had . lovely time. This is getting lengthy and l have
 more letters to write. so will leave | vo, 9row

YThe Iced Bullet" and Great Comedy for Last Time.

The mystery play, "The Iced Bull let" and the Mack Sennett comedy one of the best for action seen in Juneau, will be shown for the last time tonight.
 These two features make up a bill that is sure to please the most exacting. Aside from the putting billy goat in the comedy, the wild automobile ride through the night in flood and wind, is rarely exciting, to say the least.
