MANY PLACES
 ARE FLOODED

Throughout the town yesterday there were many business houses that were unable to wait satisfac torily upon their customers owing tc the store being so cold that the proper display of wearable goods was impracticable.
 Independent heating plants of many stores were put out of commission by the water seer..fs into the base ments where they are located. The steam lines were compelled to shut down owing to the water getting into the pipe boxes, and in order to run the steam through the pipes it would have been necessary to heat the en tire slough.
 At Sixth and Barnette there is a good sized duck pond, and also on Fifth between Cushman and Lacy The lower end of Wendell avenue is under water. as is also part of the upper portion. In many other DOT tions of the town the water is lying in pools. and the teaming can be routed only by those streets which are high in grade.

MANY ARTICLES
 BY CHATANlKA

The ladies of Chatanika have sent in a generous contribution to the box of knitted goods which the Wo. mans Bureau of the Red Cross is preparing to go out by the first boat. The total of their shipment is s sweaters and 20 pairs of socks. The names of the members contributing to this total will be published when the packing is finished and all the articles from this district are turned in.
 An urgent call Is made that all who have knitted garments of Red Cross wool nearing completion turn them in as soon as possible at Red Cross headquarters, so that the Chap. ter may make record breaking ship ment for May. With three million men being called to the colors. the need for extra equipment and aid from the Red Cross is all the more imperative. and the women of the nation, who have taken up the task of supplying these necessary com forts, will not be behind hand in making good their pledge.

RED GROSS ASK
 RETURN SOCKS
 WHEN FINISHED

An urgent request is made by the Woman's Bureau of the Red Cross that all completed knitted articles be turned in at the committee rooms at the library as soon as possible Boxes are being prepared for ship ment, and it is desired that all pos sible articles be on hand, to be sort ed and packed.
 Also 1t is noted that several knit ters have taken out wool from the last consignment, who are still cred lted with unfinished garments made from the March and April consign ments. It is hoped that these gar ments are nearing completion, st that they may be turned in. as it is not the desire of the Bureau that knitters keep a supply Of unused wool on hand in their homes. This is obviously unfair to those who are fast knitters and are unable to se cure all they desire.
 Within the next ten days care full check is to be made of all wool received and given out, and any who have kept the wool an un reasonable length of time withoui returns, or who have an unreason able amount in their possession, will be notified by the Bureau. So ii possible, before this Red Cross spring house cleaning in preparation fol the summer shipment, send all pos sible socks and sweaters to the Ii. brary. This will greatly facilitate the work of the committee in charge

ARE NOW ABLE
 USE WIRELESS

The members of the local board are feeling much elated over the re ceipt of telegram stating that the free use of all privately owned wire less plants in the interior of Alaska has been granted them for war pur poses.
 Previous to this grant it has been necessary for the board to devise some means whereby the financing of sending messages could be met With this offer it capacities the work ings of the local office in getting in touch with those outlying places where there Is no telegraph line The scope of communication will now reach from Fairbanks to the lditarod and also to Fort Yukon and other places where the wireless plants are owned by private inter. ests. The board has had this mat ter under consideration with Falcon Joslin for some time, and yester day received the news as stated above.

NEEDLES MADE
 FOR KNlTTERS
 BY LOCAL MAN

G. S. Williams has saved the life of the committee on the yarn of the WOman's Bureau, for he has juSl finished sixteen pairs of sweater needles. which he has made ana do mated to the Red Cross.
 There has been shortage of sweater needles for some time. and the ladies of Fairbanks and of all the other towns in the district have been beseiging the Red Cross rooms and asking for needles. Good sock needles can be made from heavy wire, or from the handles of lard or candy pails, if care is taken to have them exactly the dimensions of official Red Cross knitting pins" But sweater needles have been problem, and it has been impossible to get any in by mail. So that when MT. Williams found that he could make beautiful needles out of nick ory, all finished and smooth like "boughten ones," as the boys say. there was great joy at Red Cross headquarters.

THORNE PLANS
 BIG SHOW FOR
 THE RED CROSS

Dick Thorne, who was recently in troduced ds the most popular man in Fairbanks" evidently has no in tention of allowing that title to pass, for he has just made a most gener- ous offer, that will assist materially in raising funds for the big Red Cross drive scheduled for May 20 to 25.
 MT. Thorne's plan is to give to the Red Cross the gross receipts from two picture shows at his thea tre. These shows will be held on the evening of Thursday, May 23. the first show beginning at eight and the second about 9:3O o'clock The tickets, which will be fifty cents each, will be sold by Red Cross en- thusiasts all over town, and the entire population of the camp is ex- pected to attend. Not only will there be an especially good feature film for the evening, but local pic lures of the ice going out, the bridge celebration. the Knights Templar and many other interesting and enter taining local features will be run in No better show will have been given this winter, and the total gross re- ceipts-every cent taken in at the door-will go to swell the war funds of the American Red Cross, the greatest and most patriotic of all charities.
 MT. Thorne is to be complimented upon the generosity of the concep- tion, and it is certain that his many friends in Fairbanks, and the count less Friends of the Red Cross, will see to it that the evening is sue cess in every way.

CHENA MAN TO
 BE TRANSFERRED

The many friends of Morritz c. Newman, who for many years has been in charge of the N. c. store at Cinema, will greatly regret to hear of his departure for pastures new.
 Due to the closing of the store at the fish town, the genial Morritz was feeling lonesome over the pros: pect of losing his old associates, Ham. Bacon and Eggs, but will un- doubtedly be pleased with his new environments at McGrath, in the Kus- kokwim, to which place he has been transferred. His departure will take place on the first boat leaving for down river. By his transfer Cinema loses one of her best citizens, but McGrath will be the gainer.

BREAKUP WITH
 HIGH FLOODS
 DOES DAMAGE

The present run of high water created some damage at Cinema, ac- cording to reports received from there. The ice in the Cinema river is damned about a quarter of a mile above the bend. The jam extends from that place to the sawmill, fore. ing the water out through the up per channel of the solugh.
 All the barges owned by the D. c. Co. are reported to be safe. F. c. Moves pleasure steamer Idler is considerably damaged. the house be: ing badly crushed and the guard rails broken. It is possible that a number of holes have been punched in her. as she was lying where the ice could reach her. There is also consider able water in the boat.
 The steamer Teddy H. is lying in the willows across from the D. c. shipyard. and it is not possible at this time to state her condition, as the boat is inaccessible, but to all appearances she is all right
 The barge Peeluk is badly broken and is lying across the bow of the Teddy H. One corner of the barge is sticking straight up in the air, and to all appearances will be a total loss.
 The boats of the A-Y. N com. pany are reported to be in no dan ger and are fairly we'll sheltered from the breakup. The Cinema dock Is gone, the ice coming up under it and showing it out on the bank and otherwise breaking 1t up. depositing 1t in a huge heap.
 Three cars of the Panama Valley railroad are stated to be in a pre- carious position on the bank of the river and are in danger of going into the water. In order to reach them it will be necessary to remove much debri and nearly all of the side WdihS Ol Iuc tOWAS WAiCu hdFC UCcH carried away from the placements and are damned against the cars. making their removal of the present time impossible.
 There are a few craft that have been deposited across the railroad track, and they will remain so until the flood subsidies. The town in general is somewhat mussed up by the visit of the ice and high water. Much work will have to be done when the flood abates to bring the town back to its former condition.
 The launch Siwash, owned by Dr J. A. Sutherland, is reported to be safe, although Billy Butler, its GUS. todian, had a lively time in saving it from the ice.

DAN BERGER IN
 CUSTODY WITH
 GRAVE CHARGE

Dan Berger was taken into GUS. tody last evening on the felonious charge of taking goods from public building. The charge as constituted consited of taking two sacks of knit ting yarn from the room of the Wo- mans Bureau in the public library, one each of sweater and sock yarn.
 The yarn was accidentally discov- cred by Chief of Police Frank Wise man while he was conducting a search for some liquor which he had reason to believe was concealed on the premises of the library by Berger, and in discovering the cache of liquor he also uncovered the cache of wool.
 On being confronted with the evi- dence of his peculation he confessed to taking the material, stating that he did so for the purpose of having some articles knitted for himself. At the same time he confessed to the ownership of the liquor, of which twelve bottles were found. The of- fense with which he is charged is punishable by a sentence of from one to seven years. He is now con fined awaiting his hearing.
 Berger was for some time janitor at the library and had ample op- portunity to make getaway with the yarn and conceal it. choosing the premises where he was working for the purpose. What action the Red Cross will take is not as yet stated. Berger claims to have been born in Pennsylvania, as was his father, and says he is a citizen of the United States. His lineage is Dutch.

 STACKER JAILED

The marshaPs office is notified from Nenana that Roy Esgate has been taken into custody there on the charge of being a stacker, not registering in accordance with the selective service regulations. Esgate formerly lived in Fairbanks and worked for the Cold Storage company while here. He has previ- ously given his age as being under twenty-one. Inquiry by the local board at his former place of resi- dence in the Couer d'Alene country revealed the fact that he was 23 years of age, and it was upon this information that he was taken into custody.

 FEDERAL FISCAL AGENCY"
 The reference made in the above telegram relates to the provisions made by the government at the time that the First and Second Liberty Loan Bonds were sold that when ever a bond loan was made whereby the interest exceeded that of the first two the holders of bonds of the previous loans could exchange those bonds for others bearing rate of interest equal to that of the higher rate.
 This must not be construed 10 mean that purchasers of either of the first two Loans may turn the Bonds in and receive Third issue bond. The government has prepared a special bond for each issue. and the bonds are known as First or Second Liberty Loan Convertible Bonds. The bonds so issued are to be redeemed by the loan issue as stated thereon. The interest rate of the first issue of Loan bonds was three per cent; that of the sec ond four per cent, and the interest of the convertible bonds are prob ably made for the purpose of mak ing up the interest rate to conform with that of the third loan.
 Those having first and second loan bonds in their possession should at once notify the Farmers bank and the First National of their intention of making the change. as the num- Der of bond holders will have to be stated to the department making the exchange. The time limit set within which the exchange may be made is six months from May 4 or before the termination of the war should the war be ended before the time specified.

BOND INTEREST
 NOW PAYABLE

The holders of bonds ot the Sec ond Liberty Loan will now be able to do a little clipping of the coupons and receive their dividends. This information was made public by both banks yesterday, and it is requested that those having bonds of this loan present the coupons for redemption.
 Many of the bond holders have signified their intention of converting their interest money into war say ings stamps. thus assisting the gov ernment in prosecuting the war. It is practically loaning the government it's own money and is also making an investment that will make the in. terest on the bonds compounded.

CAPTIVE HUNS
 REPORT DEATH OF HlNDENBURC

LONDON. May 13.-German sol diers who have recently been made prisoner in France. state that Gen eral von Hindenburg, chief com mander of the German armies, is dead. They also state that General Mackensen has risen to great promi- hence and is looked upon as the man who will bring victory to the German arms.
 English and French newspapers do not give much credence to the Ger man prisoners report of Hinden- burg's death. It is generally believed that the report is being circulated as an excuse for the failure of the German offensive. There is a prob ability that, in the event of von Hindenburg still being alive, he has lost a great deal of prestige with the German people.
 H. P. Hanson, the First Chance, creek mining man, is in town for short visit.

In the last pre-war year the thefts of the same character were less than a million dollars. The minister declares that. although 4.000 railway employees were punished for theft. there seems to be no way of stopping this Carnival of robbery" which he is compelled to regard as a wartime evil"
