EXCELLENT CROP PROSPECTS

A trip over the counties Of Valley
and Sheridan this spring will convince
the most skeptical that this section
of the state is going to produce a
bumper crop this coming fall. Every
farmer in the two counties has sown
every acre possible and hundreds of
fields of wheat are already nicely up.
Stock is in excellent condition. Many
of the farmers who have finished seed
ing on their own farms have made
arrangements to lease land from
,eighbors and much new land is be-
ing put into fax.

N lNZIE SAYS TRAIL IS BAD
 WHOLE WAY

Robert Menzie, manager of the Northern Commercial Company stage line returned to Fairbanks on the stage which arrived yesterday after. noon after a several weeks inspec. tion trip over the line, during which he went all the way to Chitina.
 MT. Menzie reports the trail to be in very bad condition at the present time, and says all the stages are behind schedule on this account. The stage line Is doing everything possi' ble to get the rigs through on time. but the heavy condition of the trail makes good time impossible. Be. tween Salcha and Paxson the trail is very bad. being heavily drifted, and covered in many places along the Delta with overflows. From Paxson in to Chitina the trail is not so bad as on this side. but 1t Is very heavy, and travel across this stretch Is extremely slow. On the other end of the trail there is more snow than there has been for years. In fact, at Gulkana there is more snow than has been recorded at any time

If any mother or close rela- tive wishes to knit a sweater out of Red Cross wool for her own boy. arrangements may be made whereby this can be done through the Red Cross Woman's Bureau, with the pro- viso that if he has already been SUD- piled, 1t be given to some comrade who is not so fortunate. In this way our Tanana Valley Chapter receives full credit at National Headquarters for the work of its members and well-wishers (and there is no better gauge of our patriotic feeling than this) and everyone is assured of an even and impartial distribution of camp comforts and necessities.
 Chatanika was the first town in the district, so far as Is known, to send out knitted goods for the Red Cross. This was before the organi- zation of the Woman's Bureau, but the ladies of the Bureau have been able to secure this list, which fol- lows. and to congratulate the Chata- nika ladies on being the first in the Tanana Valley Chapter to an swer this call:

since there has been a trail through.
 The continual fall of snow and the heavy winds make things bad for the stages on account of the fact that there are no other rigs at all except stages going over the trail, and the road is showed right over as soon as one stage passes. so there is no trail broken for any length of time. So fast does the trail snow under that teams may pass within a few minutes of each other and the road will be completely ob- liberated. Mir, Menzie gives as an ex- ample the fact that the stage passed Harry Warren's outfit with several teams. and within a few yards the tracks of Waren's outfit could not be seen at all.
 From yesterdays report the storms seem to be dying down, and the trail is getting better, and if there are several days of good weather now in succession, the stages will be back on schedule once more.

EXPERIENCES
 OF KEYS BOYS

A letter was received by this of flee in last nights mail from George and Ralph Keys. in which they tell of their experiences while enlis.ing in the aviation service of the United States army. The boys had six doc tors working on them for the best part of day, but they finally passed all tests in good form and got into the service all right.
 The boys met many Fairbanks peo- pie in Seattle. among whom were Miss Jean Sutherland. Miss Elsie Sutherland, Jack Reagh, Mrs. Peter Vachon and other local people.
 In their letter they mentioned the fact that Fred Johnston had also enlisted in the aviation service, and had been sent to San Diego for training.
 George and Ralph were sent to San Antonio for training, and at the time of the writing of their letter were preparing to leave Seattle for that place This was January 5

E. R. PEOPLES
 TELLS OF LIFE
 IN STATES NOW

One of the passengers on the stage which arrived yesterday afternoon was E. R. Peoples, the local mcr- chant, who has been Outside on a business trip for couple of months.
 Mr. Peoples says that conditions in the States now are the best he has ever seen. Everybody is work ing and getting good wages, and there is a general air of prosperity everywhere. On the coast shipbuild. ing is particularly active, and there are hundreds of men employed at the different shipyards.
 On the Outside everything is war, of course. On the boat on which MT. Peoples went to the States there were twenty-five Alaskans from diff ferent coast towns going town to enlist, and several had walked over- land from Iditarod to get into the service. He visited American Lake, where Camp Lewis is situated, and found it a tent city of forty thou sand men. Here the drafted men from nearly all the Pacific coast states and from Alaska are prepared for overseas service. He tried to find Dr. Cassels, Winfrey and other Fairbanksans who are at Camp Lew is, but was unable to get in touch with them, not knowing what their divisions were. Men are pouring in to the camp every day. while still others, who have completed their training. are being sent to other DOT tions of the States, or across to France. All the men seem enthusi- astic and are extremely anxious to get across and try their hand at licking the Germans.
 The women of the States are do- ing their bit toward helping the war cause by knitting for the soldiers. Everywhere one goes women will be found knitting. On the car going down to San Francisco Mir Peoples says there were three women knit ting, and they were so expert at the game that on the short trip they completed several articles, among them a helmet and a sweater.
 The people Outside are doing all they can to help conserve food, and are following the government regula- tions to the letter without one word of complaint.
 MT. Peoples had very hard trip in over the trail. travelling part oI the time night and day, and says Fairbanks looks pretty good to him.

CONSERVATION
 IS HELPED BY
 OATMEAL BREAD

Herewith is given recipe for oat- meal bread, which, if used will take the place of white bread and cut down materially the amount of white flour used, and at the same time make a palatable food. This recipe has been tried out in several Fairbanks homes. and in every case has been pronounc- ed excellent. With the new food regulations going into effect with re- gard to the fifty-fifty purchases of white flour and cereals, this bread will be of help in every household in solving the bread problem. The recipe is taken from the Saturday Evening Post of December 15, 1917, and is as follows: Oatmeal Bread.
 2 cups Rolled Oats.
 cups flour.
 cups boiling water. h cup molasses.
 h tablespoon salt.
 tablespoon butter or other fat. cake compressed yeast dissolved in F cup lukewarm water.
 Add boiling water to oats and let stand one hour, add molasses, salt, butter or fat, dissolved yeast cake and flour. Let rise until double in bulk. Knead thoroughly and shape into loaves. Put into greased bake pans, let rise until double in bulk and bake 45 minutes.
 This recipe makes two loaves.

 Supt. of Schools. Fairbanks, Alaska
 Today Capt. H. T.. Gladwin, ir charge of the U. s. Commissary al Camp Lewis, Wash, under whom am working, gave me your letter ol Dec. 4 and asked me to answer 1t, and to express through you, tc the children of Fairbanks, his kind est thanks, and he wants them tC know that their efforts and evidences of love, interest and patriotism are appreciated. As yet the package has not arrived, but as it is in safe hands we know it will arrive in due time.
 The captain gave me the pleasure of answering your letter, first be- cause I was from Alaska, and fur ther because I am always passing out towels, holders and coffee bags, sent me by Red Cross auxiliaries. When I saw your name at the end of the letter, it took me back to the day met you at Mrs. Zifh- merman's at Fairbanks about July IS. 1916. Perhaps you remember you gave me an arithmetic and an his torical reader to send to little chap at Panama; after all this world r is small place.
 This fall I have given out hun dreds of coffee bags, towels and holders. and they are appreciated, as the kitchen is often forgotten when 1t comes to supplying such small necessities as these.
 A coffee bag is about 10 inches wide by 12 or IA inches deep, and made of flour sack or like material. Some of the women put tie strings at the top. They are used to put the coffee into, 80 the coffee will be clear.
 The holders are about 12x12 inch es, and made of odd remnants of old underwear or cloth of like nature. The cloth is quilted or stitched on the sewing machine. A small loop of tape on one corner is for hanging the holder up. You asked what fur ther the children can do. Have I answered?
 Last April I volunteered my ser vices to Uncle Sam and left the school room in the middle of the week, and since then have been do ing my part. Of course, I am not as young as was in '9S. but can by filling a place of humdrum activi- ty release young fellow to the front was sent here to Camp Lewis August 1st, and the camp at that time consisted of perhaps twen- ty buildings, about 1900 soldiers and many surveyors lines.

There are miles of covered walks at the base hospital alone.

Some way feel years younger from associating with these fine young fellows. know how they feel, was just the same myself in 'SS when We started out to put an end to Spain's reign of terror.
 No one knows. here, when his call to go Is coming. We get notice to prepare supplies for 1000 men for z days to be put on the cars at once. A few hours later two trains pull by our building loaded with smiling, cheering men bound for some where" A month later we hear they are somewhere in France" Speaking of cheering. Until you hear 30.000 men cheer, you have only faint idea of what 1t means.
 Every precaution is taken to guard the mems health. They have lee. lures on hygiene, and kindred sub- jects. As to recreation. every We'd nesday and Saturday P. M. and all day Sunday is holiday. and there are football, baseball, basketball and boxing games pulled off. There are several Y. M. c. A. halls. a K. of c. hall, a Camp Library and the Hostess house. The latter is a very extensive building in charge of wo- men and is meant as a place for mothers and sisters and wives to meet sons and husbands and broth CTS. A wide fireplace, honey rugs, great chairs, green plants and dainty curtains make it seem like a home.
 There is also a cafeteria and smok- ing room. Of course, any of the boys" are welcome at any time.
 The work of fitting the men for the great work before them goes on unceasingly. beginning early in the morning. drills, physical exercis- es, trench digging and marching fol- low in rapid succession, interrupted only at noon for lunch. The result is that practically every man is rosy checked and husky" Boxing and bayonet drill are taught each man.
 Just before Christmas the Red Cross distributed several carloads of Christmas boxes and just now is distributing about 25,00O sweaters.
 Some of the boxes had candy, pipes, mirrors. combs, pencils, hand kerchiefs, stamps. money and thread in them. You never saw a happier bunch of young fellows.
 We issued 42,000 pounds of turkey for Christmas dinner. Thousands of the boys went home for Christmas. Olympia and Tacoma entertained other thousands in private homes. Everything possible was done to make it Merry. Merry Christmas"
 Extend to the young folks of your school my kindest appreciation of their efforts in behalf of the boys, and may each and every one of then grow up as citizens of which their country may be proud.
