The Nenana daily news., 1918-12-07


 and prospector, who arrived here recently brings the report that there are a very few men prospecting and mining in the district, and that the prospects for next summers work do not seem to be particularly bright. tributary of the Koyukuk, about eight miles above Bettles. He has had an unsuccessful season and left Bettles on October 2S, for Fort Gib- bon, with the intention of enlisting in the army.
 On arrival at Fort Gibbon, he found that the war was practically over and enlistments had closed. There was nothing to do at Panama, and enquiries made at the army town indicated that everybody in the district were headed towards Nenana and, consequently he decided that Nenana would be the right place to make for.
 Five draftees from the Koyukuk district reached Fort Gibbon on the day the armistice was signed; they were Chris Nikoff, Rod Nikoff, Vic tor Mack, Ernest Seborg and Jack Slisco. The officer commanding gave them the option of taking an honorable discharge from the army right then or remaining in the serv- ice until spring and then getting thelr discharges, and all but Jack Slisco elected to take their dis charges. Jack is now with the sol diers and the four others are en- gagged in cutting ties for the govern ment railroad near Dunbar's, and expect to come into Nenana prob ably when railroad operations com mence in the spring.
 MT. Owens says that in the entire Koyukuk district from Alatna to Wiseman, there are about l75 people; this includes the towns of Bettles, Coldfoot and Wiseman and those in the nearby creeks and streams.
 What is considered a phenomenal strike was made by Hughie Boyle. working on the continuation of the Nolan creek benches, adjoining the workings of o. B. Williams and Pingle X Collins. Boyle was able to work for a few days only and the money taken out during that time averaged about S11O0 to the box length, or IA square feet. He took out, in all. about $44OO, and with about eight men helping him, IS now engaged in doing develop ment work on the ground so that it can be worked on a large scale during the coming summer. He used all the available water for stripping the overburden and is now putting in ditches
 0. R. Williams, working on the Nolan benches, was able to work for about eleven days only, owing to a shortage of water, but dur ing that time took out about ten thousand dollars in coarse gold; some of the nuggets running to about two or three hundred dollars each.
 Williams leased his ground on the Nolan creek benches to Peter Dow, who is doing some development work to working it on al large scale in the spring. Williams left for the States on the last boat in the fall, but expects to come in on one of the first boats next spring.
 Pingle & Collins, working on the Nolan creek benches, were also handicapped owing to the shortage of water and were able to work only about fifteen days, during which time they took out about ten thousand dollars.

GEN. CARTER ELATED OVER
VICTORY, BUT CARRIES ON
Says Soldiers Must Keep Fit-O&cers
Think There Still Is Chance for
18th to Go Overseas.

s The news of victory was well re-
ceived in Meade-"welr" because the
soldiers here INDUCED in no undue
hilarity, but accepted the tidings in
the spirit OF one who wished the best
for his fellow-men.
I'VE are glad 1t is over; I'VE are
mighty sorry that we did not have a
share in the fighting"
These two expressions were most
employed. and then the conversation
drifted on to the question of whether
the government would send the 18th
Division to France. even though the
armistice were signed.
Should BE Ready to Move.
On this matter there were varied
opinions. but the one generally re-
garded as correct was that the SOL
diers on this side of the Atlantic
should stand ready to meet any emer-
gency and that emergencies will prob
ably arise which will give them plen-
ty Of work to do.
'The signing Of the armistcie." said
Gen. Carter. "is great victory for the
allied armies, and we are all delighted
that 1t has come to pass. The 18th
Division to man was ready to take
its part on the battle line. and If the
War Department sees fit to send it
across every soldier will do his duty,
no matter how lacking in romance it
may be.
I sincerely trust that all soldiers in
Camp Meade will keep themselves At
to fight. We have received no orders
to cease training. Drills will proceed
as usual, and the armistice it must be
remembered, Is only truce and not a
treaty Of peace. 1t is glorious-this
news--but our discipline must be
maintained"

that the same may apply to Constanti-

removed the wrinkles. Trimmings of durable nature may be dipped in gasoline and rubbed clear with a soft cloth.
 When a frame is to be covered with

 before attempting to sew it in place. If the covering is drawn taut over the crown, where a plain surface is
 desired, and then pinned all the way around, holding the material as firm
 ly as possible before inserting the
 pins, the sewing will be an easy part
 of the work; for, there will be no
 danger that the material will become
 unWieldy, as would probably be the
 case if fastened with less precision. A long, strong needle, generally
 known as the milliner's needle, is the
 best kind to use for the purpose, as
 it. may be slipped through rough
 places without breaking and at the
 same time necessitates fewer stitches. Where a seam is to be taken in the drapery, the material is first meas
 ured carefully about the hat, then
 removed, and the seam finished and
 pressed flat before adjusting 1t on
 the crown. It is practically impossi-
 ble for the amateur milIiner to ob- tain neat seam in any other way. Some thought must be expended in planning the making of a hat in or
 der to avoid showing the stitches It often happens that several layers of
 material may be held in place to- gether, so that they hide necessary seam or series of stitches, without in- terfering with the appearance of the finished product
 Several of this seasons novelties in hats, which have been generally ad-
 mired, are not beyond the beginners power of making for herself One strikingly pretty model is a small hat of green velvet, with a narrow brim of gray, furry cloth. simply trimmed with a single skeleton feather stuck 1 through the brim almost horizontally | The crown is made of a circular piece 1 for the apex, to which a bias fold is 1 sewed, to allow slight fulIness in drap- i ing about the sides. A small velvet turban in soft taupe is effective, | when trimmed at regular intervals | with three large flowers, made of
 rolled velvet loops, in old rose, delft blue and rich brown. The centers are of a contrasting color and the l stems are made of bright green che nille, which makes a pretty finishing | touch.

COUNCIL PLANS WITH FEDERAL LABOR BOARD TO MAKE WOMAN'S
 WORK SAFE IN CONNECTICUT

Hartford, Dec. 21 - Through the Connecticut State Council of Defense, the Federal Depart ment of Labor has called upon the industries of the state to cooperate with state and fed eral agencies in maintaining standards relating to women,s work and its conditions. These standards have been adopted by the War Labor Policies Board and the Department of Labor has asked the co-opera- ton of industries all over the country. The request was made in recognition of the national importance of women's work and its conditions.
 It is pointed out by the Department of Labor that no woman should be employed or permitted to work more than eight hours in one day, or AS hours in any one week. The time when the work of women employees should begin and end and the time allowed for meals should be posted in a conspicuous place in each work room, and a record should be kept of the overtime of each woman worker.
 Every woman worker, says the La bor Department, should have one day of rest In every seven, and at least three-quarters of an hour for meals. No woman should be employed be- tween the hours of 10 D. m. and 6 a. m. Women Going the same work as men should receive the same wages with such proportionate increases as dustry. Wages should be establishe ed upon the basis of occupation and not on the basis of sex, and should cover | the cost of living of the dependents | and not merely that of the individual Women should not be employed in | occupations involving the use o1 | poisons, which are proved to be more | injurious to women than to men l such as certain processes in the lead 1 industry. No work should be giver | out in rooms used for living or sleep 1 ing purposes, or in rooms directly

Hoto Capt Bradley Made the Taking of Vaux Simple.

the German line and the points where the boche guns might be. The tree he selected being very tall, was naturally under suspicion by the Germans and consequently kept under shell fire. Brad ley, however, paid no attention to this. but climbed the tree, took look around, decided that it was just the observation post he wanted, descended and ordered M telephone wires run from the top of the tree to various gun positions on the ground. Then he again climbed the tree and began to telephone instructions.
 The American artillery was spread over some fifteen kilometres of ground, and the German guns positions covered a like area. Bradley knew that if he concentrated his fire on a single area the boche would guess that an attack was planned for that point and would be prepared to meet 1t. so he arranged to fool them.
 "Bans!' a shell would land on a Hun battery at one end of tie spread, then
 "Bing!" 0 shell would land on another gun position in the middle, and "Boom!'
 a third shell would hit battery at the other end of the line, and so on. Throughout Bradley sat in his position { in the tree and directed the deadly and
 puzzling fire.
 i All of the time the tree was being
 shelled by the enraged, yet more or less bewildered Huns. The outer branches
 were shot away, the trunk was hit time i and again, the telephone wires were cut away every now and then and as quick fly mended by the courageous linemen. Once burst of shrapnel knocked Brad Iley's helmet off, but the director ot tho big show stuck to his post.
 All day long he sat there with a tele- phone receiver and transmitter strapped to his head, giving the positions of even the most carefully concealed gun em- placements of the confused bocheS to his gunners. And time and again tho desperate Huns tried to dislodge him. but failed
 Finally at o'clock in the evening. the lhour fixed for the advance on the town, the American artillery under Bradley 5 direction, laid down q creeping barrage,
 which as it advanced wiped out all the
 machine gun nests that had escaped the fire of the day, and the Doughboys came out of their trenches and crossed th0 fields to Vaux with hardly a casualty.
 Then Bradley came down out of his l tree.
