CABIN
 CONTRACT LET

In response to a call for bids is sued by Road Overseer H. H. Ross some time ago for the construction of a relief cabin on the Circle trail at the 83-mile post, which is at the head of the McManus river, few bids were turned in. The success full bidder was J. R. Parkin, of the Emile road house on the Circle trail, who was awarded the contract for the sum of $275.
 The establishment of this cabin will mean much to the mushers making the trip over to the Circle country and to other places, in that vicinity. It has long been the GUS tom for the miners and prospectors who have occasion to travel in the isolated districts to erect cabins or other means of shelter on the route of travel. Owing to the long dis tance between shelter on the Chata- nika Circle trail at this particular place, it was deemed advisable by the road overseer to have one built for the accommodation of those who travel that route.

over the top.
 Then suddenly thsy were owe. ana away, little spurts of humanit.' / be!chcd out of the crater field, coal escing into seething blue-gray rush. ing mass, hopelessly outweighing the handful of British defenders. But be- fore the mass could gain full mo- mentum, a familiar snoring hum sounded above the din of battle, and out of the low-lying haze swept the covering airplane, new machine, but there with the same pilot as be- fore. His bombs dropped among the advancing Germans, dispersing those who escaped the flying fragments, and his machine guns swept them out of sight into the shell holes.
 A half hour passed, and again the enemy attempted to attack, this time hesitatingly and with diminished spirit. Again the airplane appeared, and the first rattle of his guns sent the Germans into cover again. A German airplane dashed down to drive him away, but another British machine from the protecting patrol came down on the Germans tail and sent him cartwheeling behind his own lines. There were other German ma chimes in the offiing, but the watchful British fighters made the enemy air men shy of losing their altitude and the daring British pilot kept his guard over the threatened line with out further interference.
 Many times he swept down on the Germans that day, crumpling up every attempted attack with his fire, rendering portions of their positions untenable with his bombs; often rocking madly in the air gusts from barrage salvo, just as often per forming wilder manoevurs to confuse the gunners and rifemen who searched for him necessarily. Three times his airplane was so badly dam aged that he had to nurse it's failing strength back to his aerodrome. But each time he returned on new ma chine, encouraging the British in fantry by his example, and scattering death and confusion among their foes.
 He was flying his fourth machine when darkness settled down. putting an end to the conflict, with the Ger mans securely checked.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. l. Secretary McAdoo announces tonight that the Third Liberty Loan bond issue will be opened on April 6 next.

TO
 PREPARE HOMES
Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. c. Mar. 1.- Chairman Hurley of the federal ship ping board announced this afternoon that before proceeding with the con- struction of houses for shipworkers the government will comandeer all empty hotels, apartment houses and residences in cities near where ships are in process of construction.
 This step was authorized by the $50.000,000 housing bill which was signed by the President today. This measure also authorizes the Presi- dent to commander and control not only houses and land in cities of this class, but to take over all trans portation systems likewise. This will give him the right to comman- deer street transit lines.
 Chairman Hurley stated that the shipping board will be able to find places for hundreds of families un- der this authority and will proceed with house construction as soon as possible.

 SEEKINCPROOF
 OF HUGE GRAFT
Associated Press,


 CHICAGO, H., Mar. 1.-Federal secret service operatives tonight made a raid upon the offices of Henry H. Lippert. manufacturers agent, seizing many documents and arresting Lippert. The raid was made in order to obtain evidence which, it is asserted, will reveal wide irregularities in the purchase of millions of dollars worth of gov ernment supplies.
 It is charged that Lippert and his son were aiding and abetting Briga- dier General Thumas Vrusse, retir ed, in receiving money for services in securing government contracts.
 The first traces of the irregulari- ties are said to have been discov- cred by agents of the quartermas- ter's department, who reported the matter to headquarters and which in turn asked the department of justice to make an investigation. Lippert refused to make any state ment after his arrest.

PATRIOTIC BALL
 WE'LL ATTENDED,:
 NOVEL FEATURES

Eagle hall was comfortably filled last night by those attending the patriotic ball given for the benefit of the yarn fund. The decoration committee did full justice to the occasion by the many patriotic em- blems displayed.
 On the walls were draped many flags. The comparison of the weap- ons used by the fighters of today with those of the year 1912 were made evident by the display of the modern rifle draped with that of past history
 A large picture of President Will son fianked on either side with those of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln brought to mind the three greatest men in American history. All of them were in the Presidents chair during war, each concerning the welfare of the American ma. tion. A central decorative electrical piece depicted the American Flag. under which the dancers glided over the polished floor
 During the evening a tableau group of Uncle Sam, the Goddess of Liberty, sailor and an infantry man, was spotlighted. Each one of the group was placarded with in scriptions as follows: Have you reg istered?" Are you Hooverizing?" Have you bought Liberty Bond?" and Have you bought a Thrift Stamp" This group received much applause. Judge c. E. Bunnell also delivered four-minute address.
 Scattered among the dancers were men wearing the uniforms of the different branches of the military service, sailors, marines. Red Cross nurses, the knitters and ladies ol the Colonial period. AS an enjoy able affair, those in attendance were we'll pleased. The box office report ed the sale of tickets as seventy.two. After expenses have been paid the receipts will be turned over to Ae yarn fund.
 The refreshments booth receipt were over $50, and the net returns from the tickets were $3450; in all about $65 will be turned into thu yarn fund.

their bullets. It was the concentrat- ed fire which always precedes the rush to close quarters. The blue gray figures were already beginning to appear above the shell holes, their loose Tapping uniforms and hideous gas masks giving them the appear ance of demons, when suddenly into the smoke and murk, of battle there dived British airplane.
 Fifty feet from the ground it flat tened out and skidded along the line, dropping its bombs among the bewildered Germans. Wheeling swift ly at the flank of the attack, it came skimming back like swallow charg- ing swarm of flies, its machine guns enfilading the advancing foe and driving him back to his burrows. |, A storm of German bullets swept through the planes, and black flame-centered burst of enemy shrap- nel smothered the airplane in vapor. The watching infantry saw splinters fall from its quivering frame and the silvery fabric of the underwings was torn in several places by small splinters. But the daring pilot fin ished his course and vanished into the smoke clouds, leaving the panic stricken enemy clinging to his shell holes too shaken and thinned to press the attack further.
 Little by little, however, the Ger man supports came up, advancing by short rushes over the open, rein forcing their comrades by twos and threes. in spite of British fire. Scores and scores of their dead lit tered No Mans Land, but gradually the strength of the attacking line was made good, and the shell holes again began to heave and boil, as men rose from the lower cover and laid hold of the rims to assist them

SHINE ARTISTS
 HOTEL NOVELTY

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 9.-"Boy, a bootjack for the gentleman in fifty four" is the cry that resounds every day now in the lobby of the large hotels of Los Angeles. The return of the bootjack is due to the preva, lence of the military uniform, with its boots for mounted officers.
 We have fifty bootjacks on hand here," said the manager of a large hotel recently, "and our guests greet them with joy when we send them up. The bootjack has been out of use for so long that it is novelty to the younger officers, and when a man in boots registers here, we don't wait for him to ask for one; we just send it along"

MEXICANS ARE
 VERY CRAFTY

FL PASO, Feb. 9.-Many ingenious schemes are devised for getting con traband articles across the Mexican border, and despite the vigilance of the war trade board and customs officials, often succeed. Men in the employ of the smugglers will conceal themselves behind the bullet.proof adobe houses on the Mexican side and fire shot across the border into the United States. This is intended to attract the border patrols to that particular point to investigate the cause of the shooting. The snug glers will then rush their contraband articles across the border at other points distant from the scene of the firing.
 Another plan is to have chain of small Mexican grocery stores es- tablished in the Mexican quarter near the border. Contraband goods are sent from wholesale houses to these stores, apparently in the course of legitimate business. But the small stores in reality are only blinds for the smugglers, who slip out of the back doors of these stores and wade the river with the sacks of sugar, flour or lard on their backs. To stop this practice licenses of several wholesale houses were re- voked here recently. Women and children are also employed in snug gling.

DARING BRITISH AVIATOR IS MEANS OF SAVING COMRADES
 FROM ADVANCING HUN HORDES
SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE. Feb. 2

SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE. Feb. A stirring story of how one daring British aviator, like a guardian angel, held up for whole day repeated enemy attacks upon weak and crumbling British line at Cambrai in the height of the desperate struggle there by using four airplanes one after another as they were torn and crippled by enemy fire, has just come to light.
 It shows that some of the most dar- ing and dangerous airplane work of the past year has been in the new field of attacking enemy infantry from the air.
 The Germans were trying to recov- CT a portion of the lost Hindenburg line, pushing with great weight of men and guns at point where it was very difficult for the British to bring up reserves. The British bat talion opposing the attack had gone lO edTtu III Hlllc lSOidtcu Sloupo among the shell holes, grimly deter mined to hang on to the end.
 The German masses had already moved across No Mans Land into the battered earthworks that once formed the British firing line. Other masses were moving up in support, and already the nearest shell holes were heaving and boiling over with restless heads and shoulders of men about to renew the advance. The barrage of the British guns was heavy, but at close quarters only in. fantry can stop the progress of in fantry, and the fire from the British shell holes had grown weak and struggling. It looked as if the scan. ty British line would be overwhelm, ed by sheer weight of numbers.
 The fire from the Germans in creased until the air was alive with

ALIEN STACKER
 BILL ENACTED
Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 27.- The house of representatives today passed the alien stacker bill which is designed to place such restric. tions upon this class of residents in America as to wipe it out of ex, istence. The bill bars citizens of friendly neutral countries from ob taining citizenship in the United States upon their refusal to perform their military duties.
 It also authorizes the deportation of aliens claiming exemption on the ground of being citizens of foreign countries. Under another provision of the measure the drafting of aliens for agricultural and manufacturing work is authorized. The bill is now up before the senate, which is ex' pected to pass it without debate.
