EXPERIENCED HARD TRAIL TRIP

Nenana News, In letter recently received from Mrs. J. c. Funk, form
 erlv in the ladies furnishings business here, she tells of her experiences on
 the Valdez trail, through what seems to be the worst weather ever encoun- tered during one of these trips The
 stage was four days late, as over 50 inches of snow fell, making the trail
 impossible in many places, From the Rapids to Miler's, says Mrs. Funk, they encountered several overhows and had to lay over at Miller's, while 1t took all day and the next night to make Vests. After their arrival at
 Vests the wind started up with such force that it was impossible to get to the barn to water the horses. After
 leaving PaxtUn's they had to leave the
 stage and go ahead for help to get out of the drifts, and the members of the
 party left in the stage were forced to
 go 24 hours without anything to eat,

IRISH WIVES
 FOR YANKEES

Base American F{otsla in British Waters, Feb. l2.-Every part of the United States has supplied hero Jn love romances that have culnsinated in
 happy marriages between American
 bluejackets and blue-eyed Lrish maldens since the arrival of the American de-
 stroyer forces in the south of Ireland. After the war every part of the United from the Great Lakes to Florida will boast of an Irish bride who was wooed
 and won in her native land by an American sailor.
 All of the brides are looking forward
 to the happy day when they will see what their husbands so proudly pro- claim as Gods Country.' Already
 the American sailor has supplied his Irish bride with all necessary docu- ,nents to establish her identity as an
 American and some have even had their property in the United States transferred to their wives as precau- ton ip case they lose their lives for their country.
 There is the marriage of 8 former ranchman, Bert Adams, to Brldgit O'Rourke, whose family descends from an Irish king of that name. Adams, who is boiler maker on one of the destroyers, halls from Hugo, Colorado. He is now arranging to have his ranch in Colorado deeded to his wife as pre- caution in the event of his being tor pedoed. His wife's relatives live in
 Bruce, County Limerick, and there is plenty of anecdote connected with the families relation to the O'Rourke of
 kingly fame. II don't know anything about ranching," Mrs. Adams told the
 Associated Press correspondent, "but
 am preparing myself for the fair land Bert has told me so much about and by studying history of Colorado.

NEWS FROM RUBY

(Ruby Record-Citizen, March 3O.)
 Julius Walthour accidentally shot himself on Thursday at Long City. Re port says he had Colts pistol in his warbag and in loading the bag in his sled the gun was discharged, the bullet entering the heshy part of the leg above the knee. At last report he was doing fine and would be out again shortly When the accident happened he and Lrew French were loading their outfit to go over to Flint Creek to do some prospecting.
 Niehoff and Undergrad have located what promises to be rich pay on their upper lay on Spruce creek, A phone report from Long creek says they banned out $500 from six pans and another pan went s6.00. Which all goes to show that Ruby is still good camp to tie to, and some of our popula tion who are planning on going to the coast would better do little more dig ging in these parts first.

MYSTERIOUS
 "GARABED''

Mankind is not as increduloUs of ne w thought and new invention as ot old. Therefore Garated.
 T. K. Girsgossian. an Armenian, who has done an unpt ecendented thing. is wholly right in saying, "With the onward march of science and the ever increasing acquaintance with the hitherto unknown laws Of nature, and the mysteries of the universe. we be- come more qualified to make incredible discoveries and inventions" Mr. Cir gossian could not offer higher proof of tho open mindedness of the modern world to new thought, tkan is to be seen in the fact chat he kas induced the congress of the United States, includ- ing both branches, to grant hlm a special patent on device, or machine, called the "Garabed'', without seeing a model, mach less a practical use CT application. He has appeared before both House aud Senate committees and told, in broad, general outline, the pur- pose potency of his invention, demon strated it's practicability in scientific and mechanical terms, and explained why he IS appealing for special palent legislation in preferance to taking the gun of the patent office, He has con- winced two committees upon whose re- ports both houses have acted favorably upon joint resolution Mo- l747 which is conference committee, divided only on the point of terms as to government use of the invention.
 This is an amazing record in leSls- lation, but we are not left at liberty to assume that the action is unwarranted. The interest of President Wilson aud his active participation in assisting the inventor to such unusual recognition is disclosed ia correspondence in which Giragossian is assured of his continu- ing support and directed to make de- ,nonstration of his invention before Secretary Redield and Dr. Stratton of the Bureau of Standards. The patent is to be granted if, after an investiga- tion by commission of scientists, it is found to be of use by, and not danger ous to society, and the rights of the government are secured.
 The secret of the invention is said to be in the process by which it can be made to supply energy and force, prac- tically without cost, >displacing the steam engine and other machines. The inventor claims that his invention will revolutionize the economic life of the world and change the course of human history.

Big business in the East is making a great Juror because
the government has taken over the cables, and the charge is
made that Wilson is going to use them for political purposes,
and to keep this country in the dark as to what is being done
On the other side,
This is worse than folly. Big business owns the t~elcgraphs
and the cables, and the taking over will save them. This is
why Theodore N. Vail, head OF electrical communication, begged
the government to relieve the cable and telegraph interests by
taking them over,
On the other side about 100000 cablegrams have been
accepted by the cable companies for transmission 70 this side,
and on this side about the same number have been accepted
for transmission to Europe.
The cables are overcrowded and these messages cannot be
handled. Each delayed communication would mean a damage
suit against the cable companies, which would mean disaster
BY taking over these cables the government puts an end 70
these damage suits. Besides this the cable companies have col
iected toll in advance on all these cablegrams, and the govern
rnent, when in control, will be in a position to see to it that
this money is refunded, and not placed in the banks TO the credit
Of the cable companies, When private ownership found the job
of running the railroads too big for ii, private ownership was
glad to turn the task over to the government. The very same
thing has happened to the cable companies. 1t was to their
interest and the interest OF the people for them to stand aside
when the burden became too great,

A FOR TEACHERS

1t would be exceedingly unfortunate If the Shelby county
delegation in the legislature, or any member OF it, should re-
fuse to support the proposed measure giving TO the teachers in
the city schools the increased pay they were promised last fall
on condition that they return to work.
The promise made to the teachers is a solemn obligation
entered into in good faith, and to all intcnts and purposes with
the view to being observed. The teachers arc carrying out
their part Of the contract. They have been doing so since Sep.
TENDER, with faith in those composing the other party to the
contract. We cannot afford to have faith rewarded by faith
lessness. If the teachers are disappointed and deceived this
time, it will be difficult to pacify them again.
We take it that it is no longer a question OF whether they
had a right to strike or whether they deserve the increase. The
TACT is il was promised to them, and they are working with a
very definite understanding that it will be forthcoming
