Engineering Commission Holds S35O That En- pIoyees Have Earned
 but Not Got.
TO SEND MONEY BACK
Unless Owners Claim Mon- ey 1t Will Be Sent Back to United States
 Treasury.

ANCHORAGE, Aug G.-Pay checks totalling in amount $350.S3 and is sued by the Alaskan Engineering Commission in 1917 to former em- ployees, are held in the Anchorage disbursing office awaiting claim ants. The checks range in individ- ual sufs from one cent to SIS.
 Repeatedly since 1917, the com mission has published the dates and amounts of the checks and the names of the payees, who number fifty, and now it announces that unless they call at the disbursing office within the next few weeks the checks will be sent to the United States Treasurer at Washington, D. c. Once there, considerable time and routine proceedings will be re quired to obtain them.
 It seems quite certain that all the payees have long since left the An chorage district, and probably Alaska cated by their names, are men of for. eign birth. Nearly all worked as grade laborers on the route of the Government railroad.
 What puzzles the commission of ficials is that any employee should leave the country without calling for wages due him. No delay or difficulty need be experienced in the matter of drawing wages. They are paid at once upon the presentation of the boss or timekeepers' slip. which may be obtained by the la borer for the asking.

! Those who grow tomatoes are get
/ ting anxious about the aphis which
is devouring the leaves of the grow
ing plants. The tomato crop is one
of the real money crops of the farm
ers Of this section. and anything that
hurts it, hurts the receipts of the
farmer in September.
The public school of this place
needs to be brought up to a more eff
fective system of educating the chill
dren. The children live far from the
school house in several instances, and
it would be better to consolidate the
district with others, and have the chill
dren hauled to and from the school
daily during the school term. This
will get some of the old foggy folks
to believing, but it Is expected from
them-it shows their ignorance of
what can be done for the education
of the children if we want to. Better
spend it for education. than for liquor
as some of the objectors seem inclin-
ed to do.
Wheat threshing is starting about
Staytonsville, but the crop will be
small as to the yield per acre.
The people of this section fell down
in the War Savings Stamp drive, and
after looking at the farms and the
crops on them, of those who did not
buy any stamps. the reason is plain;
they have not more than half culti-
waited their crops, and will have little
with which to buy even victuals this
fall and winter.
One Of these men has IA acres in
corn, 24s acres in tomatoes and a
small patch of>wheat, and the land is.
poor for lack of proper sowing OF
soiling crops and cultivation. This
man spends a considerable part OF his
time on the public road, and claims he
paid to keep his boys out of the army.
This man has several other boys cap
able Of doing work, and yet the farm
is in a poor state of cultivation.
Wonder if this is not a case for the
Council Of Defense to work upon.
l am a poor farmer myself, but I
do try to get the best possible from
my efforts to get a living from the

Dear Marshall: The above is my
address for two or three days longer
At the end of that time l shall be on
the go for nobody knows where-and
couldn't tell if he did Only it means
that I am finished here; finished with
all the grasshOppers, fieas and flies !;
finished with all the macarOni, spha-
ghetti and other like fishes; finished
with the hot weather.
l have waited and waited for a let

won't come to Mohammed then this
/ MOhammed will go to the mountain
hence this letter to you.
Marshall, dear friend, my training
| (primary) is all over and | have my
commission. Did my last stunt on
Monday, June 3rd. and was sworn in
as a first Lieutenant in Uncle Sans
Air Service the following day. Pretty
rapid work, wasn't It.
Speaking of commissions, maybe l
wasn't one lucky pei son. Out of the
whole bunch of boys Chat finished
ground school when l did and that
came across, only six got "firsts"; all
the rest were seconds. How in the
name Of Pete l happened to be in
cluded I'll never be able to tell you
for l don't know myself. To tell you
the truth. though, such a happening
didn't make me the least bit angry.
Would it have you?
Really must tell you about my last
test-my raid. The mapped course
covers something like $50 miles as a
crow flies Allowing for cross winds
and difficulty in locating map points
and land marks it is much farther.
There are two distinct trips. or legs
the first one takes a minimum time of
two hours, and the second an hour
and a half; and of that three and a
half hours we have to have an alti-
tude Of 5000 metres 10000 feet) or
more for one quarter of the whole
time. You see, it is supposed to be
the final test for your ability to climb,
read maps and to handle all compli-
cations that come up in a trip of that
length.

born bay in a February gale. In
addition to my regular amount of
clothing, had on this extra clothing:
3 pair of heavy wooden socks, pair Of
fur-lined slippers, pair golf stockings
over them and a PAIR of heece-lined
leather boots, knee high; on my body
three heavy sweaters, sheepskin-
lined pair of trousers and coat, and
a big fur-lined moleskin union flying
suit over that; two pair of wool
gloves, and big fur-lined gauntIets
over them; two knit helmets, a big
necklace and leather flying helmet
on my head. My appearance really |
was laughable. I was as thick thru

have had my 5000 in 80 minutes.

for home. 1t was about 1905 a m.
when l landed. Took half an hour
for rest and started on second leg at
10. .45. BY that time the sun was
pretty well up and as a result the
air was simply terrible, it was so
bumpy. Half the time until l got to
1900 metres ! didn't know whether /

sliding off on a wing l managed to
climb into good air at 1000, and from
there on above 5000 it was fairly good,
not bumpy, but wavy, like going over

til I had bombed lin my minds eye)
everything in sight, and then as be-
fore, cut off motor and started home
on a long gentle glide. You know,
Marshall, the gliding ratio is about 8
to L. For every mile you are up you
can glide 3.
Everything went fine until l got
down to 1900 metres. From there it
was plain h. The wind and the
bumps tossed me around like a piece
of thistle down in a gale. Once or

The best news came as l TAXED in

ran out and yelled, your commission
is in" And it was. A first lieuten-
ancy Lucky to get that, did you say? |
Decidedly yes-When there were only
five more firsts that came over in the |
whole bunch when l did. All the |

or why it came my way, and l didn't |
bother anyone asking questions.
