Miss Kate Herring, whose work as
publicity "man" for the State Board
of Health has won for her during re-
cent years wide recognition as a mas
ter of the art of writing short arti-
cles that put across what she has in
mind to say, has been employed by
the State War Savings committee fcr
its publicity work. This means that
newspaper articles sent to the papers
of the State about the War Savings
campaign will be brief, interesting
and to the point, with the punch ir
them that will get results. No bette,
selection for the job could have beer
made.

his private car from New York to

is no poor mans war. The ricn have
to put up with the same things he

their honor be it said that thousands
of rich folks are freely laying upon
their country's altar all that they have
and are surrendering freely opportuni
ties to make money during the war.
Many of them are cheerfully enduring
hardships to which they had never be-

It is a long way from Alaska to West Virginia, and they say good news travels fast. There was re- gently received by resident of Brooks letter from a relative in West Virginia. to whom has been sent quite regularly copies of The Weekly Alaska Citizen, and the writ CT, commenting on the war news, stat ed as follows: "It is no use to write you about the war. as your enter prising Alaska Citizen has more news about the war than our papers do here."
 The above was sent to The Citizen in the last mall from the Tolovana by the addressee, who stated that the writer was about seventy-nine years of age and contemplates mak- ing a trip to California and Alaska this summer.

ICE RUN DID
 SMALL DAMAGE

Contrary to the usual havoc cre- ated by the run of ice when going out, this years breakup did very lit tie damage. Although the water was high and an overflow expected at any time, the water stayed within the banks, and beyond a bank of ice along the stream this was the near est approach to an overflow.
 The main damage done was to the facing above the Cushman street bridge. The new facing put in did not suffer to any extent. the ice tearing off three sticks of the old facing and pushing the ice up un- derneath the flooring along the front, besides tearing off small section of the fence. At the A.-Y. N dock the damage was slight. being easily repaired in few hours. At the Pioneer dock a damaged corner was all that could be noticed.
 The heaviest damage of all was at the bridge crossing Moves slough. where a bent was taken out. making it unsafe for travel. This was later fixed so that light travel was per missible.
