CLUB DOUGLASS
 IS HEARD FROM

In one of the recent mails a let ter was received from B. E. Douglass. of the Tolovana country and who is better known over there by the cog nomen of "Chub."
 At the time of writing Douglass wasa member of Go. "F'' 18th In. fantry, 9th division, and was sta tion at Camp Mills, New York. He is holding the rank of corporal.
 "Chub" is of pugnacious disposi. tion and during his stay at Camp Mills his knowledge of the manly art stood him in good stead. AS is usual among all military organizations there are some clever boxers, which at times result in good entertainment being afforded to the rest of the com. pany members. Chub writes that all he has done to uphold the honor of Alaska is to annex the welterweight championship of the regiment. which is going some among crowd of New York boys.

LIVELY TIME
 IN TOLOVANA

Related reports from the Tolovana show that the people of that section celebrated the signing Of the ariAi, tice in the manner customary with turns up.
 To celebrate the event they held dance at which nearly all Of the creek people were in attendance. The ladies of that section who have an eye for the main opportunity took advantage of the situation and sold about $40 worth of soft drinks and cigars from the refreshment booths, all of the money raised going to the French orphan fund.
 Manufacturing day they held an other celebration and dance and at this affair more than two hundred dollars were raised for the same ob. ject. A feature of the dance was the turkey raffle from which S130 was realized.
 The only thing to mar the evening was an exceedingly high wind that came up, one of the hardest in the memory of the oldest inhabitant, that prevented those living at a distance from going home. They were com pelled to remain in town until the next day.

M'KINLEY PARK
 EXCLUDED WITH
 OTHER REQUESTS

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-The an- nual report of the secretary of the interior has been filed with the state department and eh1bodies wide scope of projects, for which appro- priatiOns are asked.
 Included in the report is the recom- mendation that ten thousand dollars be- appropriated for the protection and for administrative purposes of the Mckinley National park in Alas ka.
 The secretary urges the develop ment of all arid and cut-over lands for the providing of farms to re- turning soldiers.
 The improvement of the school system for the education of aliens to the American standard was also rec commended. Especial stress was laid on the teaching of trades that the new citizen might be an addition to the crafts of America.
 In concluding his report he states that there were over two hundred million acres of waste land in the United States that were available and could be made into farms. All that would be necessary to make this land into homes for millions of peo- pie would be the expenditure of a few millions of dollars which would steaders.

RAILROAD HAS
 INCREASED IN
 VALUE LATELY

TONOPAH, Nev. Nov. 12.-Because 1t Is more valuable as junk than as railroad, that portion of the Las Vegas & Tonopah system" lying be. tween Las Vegas and Beatty has been abandoned and will be sold. The last train has thundered over its rails.
 That portion of the railroad extend. ing between Beatty and GOldfield, a distance of 79 miles, will be operated by the Tonopah & Tidewater, the old F. M. (BoraX) Smith line. The total mileage of the Las Vegar x Tonopah railroad, extending from Las Vegas to Goldfield, is 197 miles.
 The Las Vegas & Tonopah was projected by "Borax" Smith and fi- nanced by Senator William A. Clark. Smith planned to operate the road in conjunction with the Salt Lake route and tap the mining districts of Bull frog. Rhyolite, Beatty. Greenwater, Goldfield and Tonopah, as well as to remove boyax from Death Valley.
 Since the taking over of most of the railroads of the country by the government the business of the Las Vegas x Tonopah has dwindled to almost nothing All freight and pas. senger traffic was routed over the Tonopah X Tidewater.
 After having been operated for 12 years, the railroad as physical property is worth more today than when the rails were laid It is esti- mated that the rails are worth more than double their value when they were laid in 1906. It is expected that part of the railroad which has been abandoned will bring a good price.

ITALY BECOMES
 THE ACCRESS0R

LONDON. Dec. 10.-The Manchester Guardian, a publication, makes the statement that ten days ago quiet reigned along the Adriatic coast and the Serbians occupied Cetinje in peaceful possession.
 Lately the Italians insisted on land ing forces at Cattaro. in Dalmatia. which was objected to by the Ser bians. A demonstration pretending conflict was made when the allies intervened with force strong enough to counterbalance the Italian troops and matters assumed serious aspect as the Italians demanded that the national emblem of Serbia be lowered. The commander of the American fleet stationed there inter- vened and the Italian forces with drew, leaving the Serbians in pos session of their ground and the flag still flying.

 BE GIVEN TEST

 John Stephen, who is bringing the quartz to town from the Dry Delta country, is now in quarantine at the Piledriver and when he is released the ore will be brot to town and the run made.
 The district from which the ore comes is well mineralized and several large bodies of mineral bearing rock is known to exist there. When the returns from the test have been made known it is believed that other loca' tions will be made in that vicinity.

T0L0VANA WILL
 BE ACTIVE FOR
 SOME TIME YET

From an authoritative source of in- formation it is learned that much ac- tivity will be shown in the mining game in the Tolovana this winter At the present time the main attrac. tion is the reported strike on the West Fork, several outfits now be. ing engaged in delving for hidden treasure. Among those reported to be at the new diggings are Charles Lynn, Tom Davis, Dave Cascaden, Pete Maniconi, Dan McClain, J. F. Dillon, Joe Barker Emmet McCoombs and several others whose names could not be learned.
 For the convenience of those who are travelling in that direction road house has been established by Mrs. Woods. at the mouth Of Lost creek, a tributary to the West Fork.
 Many claims have been staked at the scene of the new strike, it be. ing claimed that great number of stakes have been driven by the To- cators for a distance of eighteen miles up and down the creek, reach. ing any where from the creek claims to three and four tiers wide along the benches and hillsides. There seems to be nothing much to justify this great activity except that the geological formation is quite favor able to gold bearing earth.
 In the immediate vicinity of the discovery several outfits are work. ing and haye d number of men in their employ. ShelI.,ld X Kelly, Bostrom X Co.,. Colbert X Co.,, Samp- son x Martin, Sampson. Mccarthy & Morin, Fontas x Co.,, Pett .son & Co., and Price x Clausen, being among those employing men. Quite few prospecting outfits are working and there will probably be more oper- ators start up before spring.

 IMPRACTICABLE'
(The Associated Press)

CAMBRIDGE, Dec. 10.-First Lord of the Admiralty Geddes has express ed himself as being opposed to the formation of league of nations, be- lieving that the establishment of a league of nations will not result in the development of the world to such an extent that no wars could occur.
 In a statement made today he said that the world police force required that England perform such duty, es. pecially on the seas. It was her po- licing of the seas in the past that prevented Germany from crushing tho free nations of the world and he re. garded it as inconceivable that the supremacy of the British navy would have to be surrendered should the idea of league of nations be carried out.

ID GARDNER IS
 REPORTED LOST

Some apprehension is being feared for the safety of Ed Gardner, who is doing some work on Bonnifield creek in the Bonnifield country. Whether Gardner is living or dead is causing his friends some uneasinCss. The facts pertaining to the situa- tion are about as follows:
 Gardner had intended coming to Fairbanks with Jim Burnett but later changed his mind. He also intended to go on hunting trip with man named kevie. Burnett then made the trip to Fairbanks supposing that Gardner would take the hunting trip. Gardner did not show up to go with Kevie and he supposed that the trip to town was being made. As a mat. ter of fact he did not go i'll either direction.
 Some few days later Kevie had oc casion to call at the Gardner cabin and found there a quarter of moose which Gardner had killed The ap- pearance of the cabin indicated that the occupant was still staying there, although the fire was out. This happened about three or four days after the last fall of snow, in which no tracks were visible.
 A returning miner of that section reported to Kevie that Gardner was not in Fairbanks nor had be taken the trip. The question now being considered by Gardner's friends is as to his whereabouts and whether he is living or dead.
