PROHIBITIONS
 FIRST VICTIM

Ivor Nelson was taken into custody last evening for having liquor in his possession. Chief of Police Wise man made the arrest
 Last evening Chief of Police Wise man had occasion to call at the cabin of Nelson in the up-river part of the city. Upon knocking at the door and receiving an invitation to enter, the chief went into the room and found Nelson and a neighbor at a table on which was sitting a whiskey bottle with about two inch es of the liquor which is now ta- booed still in it. While the chief made the call upon an entirely diff ferent matter, he could not close his eyes to this infraction of the law, and after settling the other business which called him there, he invited Mir Nelson to take a walk up town with him.
 After laying the matter before thc city attorney the chief was ordered to put it up to the federal autho"i ties. The case was taken under ad visement until today, and Mr. Ncl son returned to his cabin.
 The irony of the matter is the \ :ct that MT. Nelson is not a drink ins man, and he stands very high anon. his companions in the city.

FEW WORK BUT
 EIGHT HOURS

Only few Fairbanks firms yes terday took any notice of the eight hour, Jaw, which was supposed to go into effect January first. Among the business houses whose employees worked only eight hours were Ton. seth's Grocery and Golden's Grocery. The Fairbanks Laundry whistle blew at o'clock and kept everyone guess ing as to what was wrong for a while.
 The larger firms, such as the N. c. company and E. R. Peoples. Inc, worked the full length of time as before, and 1t is said that they will make a test case to try out the law if any action is taken.
 There are all kinds of rumors go- ing the rounds yesterday about what action the governor was going to take with regard to setting aside or retaining the law. Some said tele- grams had been received stating that the law would be set aside only with regard to the canneries. Others said the law was to be set aside within the week, the governor only waiting for request from the national coun- cil of defense. When these stories were traced to their sources, howev- CT, they were all found to be mere rumors. and there appears to be no definite information as to just what the action of the governor will be.

DEFENSE BODY
 TO WORK. FOR
 CONSERVATION

The local territorial defense board held meeting at the war office last evening, and the chief business was to formulate plan for local food conservation. The council is going to have food pledge cards printed and distributed to everyone in town, asking them to conserve food and follow the instructions oi National Food Controller Hoover The council will then gather weekly data on the food conservation from all over the city. The number wheatless and meatless days obserI ed by every family will be recorded and from these records reports vii be sent to the national food commis sion. Every local organization. will be asked to help in distributing food cards and in getting the returns in Pledge cards will be on hand at al local groceries and in other public places, so that there will be no eA cuse for every family not having one and filling 1t out. The defense committee realize that the real win ming of the war lies with the saving of food, and they want to make Fairbanks do her bit toward food conservation. If every person in this city gets together and helps the de fense council, matters will soon be systematized and much good will result.
 The council also reported that 1t had sent telegrams to the national defense council concerning the eight hour law being set aside, and with regard to the extension of the timt of closing of the game season. No reply had been received from Wash ington with regard to either matter but from Juneau a telegram had been received from Judge Royal A. Gun nison stating that he would do al in his power to have the closing of the game season extended. as he be lieved it would be for the best inter ests of food conservation in the ter ritory.

CHOCOLATE IS.
 ABOUT AGAIN

For the first time in many weeks, Chocolate, the local champion race horse, was taken out last night and given little exercising. Over a month ago Chocolate was hurt while
 being brought into Nenana by MT. and Mrs. Lyle Laumeister, who own the horse. and was not expected for a while to ever be able to be of any use again. The Laumeisters brought him by slow travelling to Fairbanks, and have since doctored him care fully. and now he seems to be all right, beyond slight limp. and. his owners expect that he will be able to enter the horse races next Fourth of July and be up to his usual sped.

LOCAL MAN IS
 F0UkD FR0ZEK.

Tuesday morning the body of D. w. Cohee was found frozen at his wood camp ten miles up the river. From all indications Cohee had been dead about a week. His remains were found lying out where he had been cutting wood, and the man had evidently been taken with heart di- sease or something of like nature and was unable to return to his cabin.
 Christmas day Joseph Fady, a friend of Cohee, took him up some papers and left them in the cabin. He took some other papers up De. cember 31, and found the first pa pers apparently untouched. That made him think that something was wrong. so on January first he went up the slough and got Carl Behring, who lives in that neighborhood, and the two men vent out to look for Cohee. They found his body lying beside wood pile, frozen stiff. Com missioner Reed Heilig went out to the scene of the death, and the body was then brought to town. An in- quest will be held Friday morning at II o'clock.
 MT. Cohee was 62 years of age. and had lived in the north for many years. He has a wife living in Fair banks. No funeral arrangements have been made as yet.

NEVER AcAiNl

(By Will Thomas Withrow) with apologies to the shade of Poe, Once. upon a midnight dreary. A bedraggled. homo (beery) Made his way with step uncertain
 Toward his own domestic door; Made his way in deep repentance, Muttering this mournful sentence, Muttering with Acrimonious
 Maudlin motif-"Never more!" While his better two-thirds waited For her erring spouse belated. Waited watchfully, alertly,
 Just inside the cottage door: Ie approached in deep contrition For his sadly soused condition, While his fuzzy tongue repeated
 That repentant--"Never more!" When beside his hearth domestic, Ie explained to the majestic Partner of his bosom, as he
 Many time had done before, low he came to be thus pickled, While the tears repentant trickled Down his cheeks he still repeated His refrain of-"Never mOre!" Mornings dawn crept in and found him With his garments scattered round him Scattered where he'd tossed them
 when he
 Went to sleep upon the floor; And he sat up and reflected, And Gas might have been expected) Made once more the same old promise
 (And he meant it)-"Never more!'
