CREOSOTE MENACE
 ID LEAKY PIPES

Night Patrolman Oscar Rothen- burg has in his possession the re- mains of what was once a perfecly good length of stove pipe. The pipe wa once part of a series of similar length in use at a small cabin in Nenana and doubtless now would be hidden among the ruins of a burned home but for the timely ar rival of the night patrolman. MT. Rothenburg saw the blaze emerging through the safety of the cabin in question and extinguished the fire before serious damage had resulted
 In searching for the cause of the fire, the patrolman found that the pipe within the safety had beer perforated by the action of the creosote, permitting the flames tc leak out into the safety, thereby ex posing the roof to danger. The pipe looks as though it had been tho target for one of the big American guns in use in France.
 These facts are related for thu benefit of owners of other cabin and store buildings, whose propert. may be similarly exposed to fir, risk. MT. Rothenburg urges all sucl owners to inspect their stove pipe immediately, to make certain tha there are no such leaks and h. points out that this is the seasol when pipes stand the greatest neet of attention, especially those pipe which have been in use throughou the winter. The timely removal O a leaky pipe, he points out, ma. save the town from serious loss.

SED|I|OUS TALK LANDS FOREIGNER
 IN NtNANA JAIL
Eric Eichel, A German Alien, Given The Extreme Penalty For His
 Offense.

Eric Eichel, an unnaturalized Ger man, was found guilty yesterday af- ternoon in the commissioner court, on the charge of making seditious utterances, and was sentenced by Commissioner R. S. Mcdonald to serve one year in jail and to pay fine of S1,000, the extreme pen alty allowed by law. The hearing was held before a jury of twelve men and the verdict reached with out difficulty, the evidence against the offender being such as to leave no doubt regarding his guilt.
 Eichel's offense was committed at Diamond, in the Kantishna district, and consisted of the statement, in substance, that "the kaiser is no worse than President Wilson or any of the heads of the Allied govern ments." It was also shown during the hearing that the prisoner had displayed a similar attitude toward the United States on other occa- sions and his belligerence is said to have become a source of general annoyance to the men of the Kan tishna, who took advantage of the first opportunity to complain against him to the federal authorities. The complaint was sworn to by Charles 1 Ingersoll, one of the oldtimers of the Kantishna.
 Eichel was a comparative stranger in the Kantishna, having gone there from Nenana during the winter Before leaving Nenana, he was em ployed on the Brown hoist for 2 short time. He came to Nenans from the Hot Springs district.
 It is said of the man that he ha: all the earmarks of being dan gerous pro-German I. W. w., ant he had been under surveillance by Deputy Marshal Hagen for som' time. He will be sent to Fairbank at the first opportunity to serve hi sentence in the federal jail at tha place. Eichel acted as his own coun sel during the hearing.
 The jury which heard the cas- and pronounced the verdict was com posed of: W. c. Freeman, R. E Cooley, M. J. Cooney, Harry Davis Ben Accen, Edmund Willette, Osca O. Melvin, John Diston, Bill Kenyon Harry Beach, Eli Gray and Geo. " Pennington.

COONEY RETURNS FROM PASS TRIP
 TRAIL FEASIBLE

The principal question before the Nenana Commercial club, at the meeting held last Sunday, was that of the Broad Pass trail and the feasibility of changing the present line of travel so as to avoid the open stretch of country which now expose mushers to serious danger on account of the lack of shelter.
 M. J. Cooney, vice-president of the club, made the trip out the trail, accompanied by Wm. Thomas, on a tour of investigation, arriving home on Sunday. MT. Cooney reported at length regarding the trip, stating in substance, that he did not con- sider a trail cutting proposition, apart from a mail handling con- tract, feasible. With regard to the handling of mail over the route, MT. Cooney said that he considered that a very feasible proposition, for a private contractor, as soon as the ends of steel are brought within a reasonable distance of each other.
 Trail conditions were investigated by the club at the solicitation of mushers and roadhouse men along the route, it having been suggested that a short cut could be made through the timber at comparatively small cost.
 MT. Cooney is very enthuiastic over the possibilities of mail carry ing over the route, expressing the belief that it can be done more cheaply and quickly by the end of the present season, than by way of the Fairabnks-Chi route.
 The committee named to investi- gate the feasibility of forming a central body to supervise charitable donations, reported that the plan had received the endorsement: in all quarters and they were instructed to confer with other organizations with a view to putting the plan into immediate operation.
