Home Ruined by "Dirty Soldiers.

when my husband died twelve
years ago l started and put in my
little all into the house. Now. after
four years of dirty soldiers. every
thing is unfit to receive visitors.
They have stolen nearly all my
blankets, in my second house ell the
pictures l have hardly any crockery
or cooking utensils left. The authori-
toes stole all the wool mattresses ana
left us with seaweed, and all our cop
per even to door and window handles.
You may imagine what the depre-

common trick for a man to take
chair or a table drawer and chop 1t up
for firewood.

all the furniture in the beautiful VII

Il had four years of very hard
manual work, doing all my work. even
the washing. The keep of servant
was beyond my resources, as the
price of living was SO high, and all

were forced to work for the Ger

Once only the Germans gave me
news that my younger daughter was
married, but with their usual cruelty

little girl was only seventeen when
she left Bruges the day before the
entry of the Huns.
Bills Never Paid in Full.
II received payment from the town
of Bruges for the men quartered upon
me. but we were never paid in full.
The town retained 60 per cent. which
will be paid. 1 hope. after the war.
Then we English received help from
the war relief fund, but the Germans
interfered with the payment and for
more than a year we would have re-

ACTIVITY LOOKED FOR
 IN kATALLA 0|L FIELD

George C. Hazelet returned this afternoon from several weeks trip to the Chilkat oil COmpany's prop. erty near katalla and he verities the report published in the Daily Times last week of a new oil well being struck at a depth of about 800 feet and which produces about five barrels per day. Three more shallow wells are to be sunk this summer, where there is also oil to be found and when these are in operation it is expected that the company's present production of Goo barrels month will be doubled. Mir. Hazelct does not hope to srr;h" any gu~h"rs but feels confident that nhcu the wells are driven below the strata oi shalc the output Will be increased to several hundred bar rcls d day.
 When asked as to the Bering river coal situation Mir HazeIct stated that there was nothing new to report since the interview he gave this paper in June, other than the fact that Superintendent Van Campen and n couple of men had arrived on the ground and that as soon as camp had been established some coal miners would be brought in from the States and their claims on Carbon creek thoroughly developed. If they turn out as satisfactory as he believed they would mean the construction of a branch line from the Cooper River railway at Mile 39 to the coal and oil fields.
