LOST; DEER AT BARROW

Fifty five stray reindeer with a big bull caribou for a boss were found by Ogeanak, a Barrow trapper who had gone inland a couple days journey. The deer wouldn't leave their wild friend so Ogeanak had to kill the caribou before he could drive them to Number Three herd.
 More than hundred runaway deer have been found and driven back to their herds, by the Inland trappers, MT. Cram our teacher writes" These men are glad to get the reward which Barrow woners give to the finders of stray deer. So many deer had left the herds that the reindeer boys held a meet ing last fall and agreed that any one who found and returned stray deer should be paid one female fawn for every five deer or less that he brought back.-The Nome Eskimo.
The daily Alaskan., 1918-08-01

The following, taken from tn Visalia Times Is a part of letter written by MT. A. J. B. Agnew, who passed through Skagway some time ago with his wife on a sight seeing trip.
 Going through Wrangell Mar rows, the boat slows down 80 that it barely moves, and twists anl turns around buoys and lights for an hour or so. It reminded me of Gatun Channel through the lake at Panama. There were several glac- iers just above that dispelled the al- llsion and We wele soon running through g flow of small ice bergs. They were melting in all kinds of fantastic shapes and We imagined We were reviewing parade of fancy floats. It was easy by a slight flight of the imagination to see several fairies, angels and all sorts of things on the melting ice, Of the most delicate blue Or green colorlng. The largest glacier we passed was the Davidson glacier, on the left of Lynn canal. This was named for Prof. Davidson, whom all the old Californians will remember. Why Vancouver, who surveyed the whole North Pacific coast 130 years ago should have called the Lynn channel 8 canal I cant understand. The Lynn was for his home in Els sex, but the canal must have been carved by the same great glacier which ground out the rest of the labyrinth Of waterways. ...
 There are only three Inside Pas sages' in the world, this one from Seattle to Skagway, HOO miles long where the waves of the Pacific only strike you directly in two Or three short stretches, one off the coast of Chile and the third along the Nor wegian coast. They are all three so similar that you cannot tell which one of them writer is de- scrlbing. One description does for them all. There are hundreds of islands with a network of channels between them and it takes an old experienced navigator to pick the course. They all look alike to the cheechaco. The timber grows to the high tide as tick az alfalfa in a field, simply no room for another tree to find root on the mountain side. .. ..

TELLER MISSION BURNED

Fire destroyed the large Teller Mission building one morning last month. The night before the boys We're fumigating the building and one of the boys had stopped hole in the stove pipe with a rag to keep the fumes from spreading. He forgot to take the rag away and when the fire was started at seven o'clock next morning the rag caught fire, and the wooden structure was in flames in a few moments. Rev. Fosso, his wife and Miss Enevstedt awoke and were barely able to es- cape, saving hardly any of their clothes, money and books. They are now living in the old mission build ing near by till a dwelling house can be built.
 The fine building that was de- stroyed was built about ten years ego. It housed the mission and the Bureau of Education School. It is estimated that it can hardly be re placed for ten thousand dollars be- cause of the present high price of building materials.-TheN Nome Es- kimo.

CELEBRANTS AT BIRTHDAY
 DRINK CACHE

There was a bottle of Golden Wedding, a bottle of Dewar's spe- cial Scotch and several bottles of the finest wine on the sideboard in the card rooms of George Phelps yesterday afternoon and evening. On another table was a large cake, the finest George Smith, with his ex- pert skill, could beke, and the cake just melted in ones mouth.
 Men came and men went, select ed the bottled goods they wished to imbibe in, turned out 6 good glass full, smacked their lips, and winked. It evidently hit the spot. And George Phelps kept the door of his store wide open and welcoms all to partake.
 It was Mir. Phelps "21st" birth day, and the lid was to all intents absolutely off. There were no candles on the cake, as there would have been room, but there was the announcement of boy baby-many years ago. z. All who slipped of the wines and partook of the cake extended the felicitstions of the day to the host. But strange to say, there were few repeaters at the side board for the Golden Wedding, the Dewar's Scotch and the wines were heavy, and again all those who did drink knew that the cache was small and there were many to be treated. But it was a regular birthday party, thoroughly enjoyable even if the Golden Wedding bottle and the wine bottles were filled with grape juice or sweet cider.-SeWard Gateway.

THE HUNS PEACE OFFER

There is only one difference be tween the Hun new proposal for a peace conference and all the former proposals. The difference is in the occasion. Former proposals were made on the heels Of minor military success; this one Is made immedi- ately after a major military failure. But with singular stupidity the Prus sian war lords speak in the tone of yictots, and offer 8 German made peace as a boon to the world. Of course, the new offer is intended for home consumption. After the fail- ure of the great offensive, sOmethin had to De done to sustain the nor ale of the German people, who in addition to all the sacrifices of the past four years, now face contiEu- ous pinching hunger if not starVa- ton.

Carrying The Four Minute Message

Alaskan Four Minute Men tackled & mans size job when they under took to carry the message across 5S6,4O0 square miles of. territory, frozen feet deep during the great CT part of the year, and never easy to travel over because of lack of transportation systems, to reach some 64,OOO people, including In dians and Eskimos, scattered all over this land Of dazzling dis tances.
 The job needed doing, however and there were plenty of patriotic volunteers found ready and able to tackle it.
 R. E. Robertson, Territorial chair man, has built up a wonderfully eff ficient organization in each of the four judicial divisions of his vast proconsulship.
 Each divsiion Is under the direct ton of 8 divisional chairman, who has his local chairmen just as in the States.
 H. P. Faulkner, Of Juneau, di- rects he first division; G. J. Lo- men. of Nome, the second division; Thomas S. Scott, of Cordoya, the third division; and John A. Clark, of Fairbanks the fourth division.

indignation. Unanimously every one Of the allied nations will reject the terms of peace for two reasons: First, because most of them are unrighteous; second, because no honorable government win permit itself to deal with a morally bank rupt government. The government of Germany has no honor. It vio- lated the peace treaty with the Bolsheyiki government of Russia within twenty-four hours after the treaty was signed.
 The questions which the kaiser would settle at his proposed peace conference in Madrid will be set tied on the field Of battle. There is no other way. The civilized world must either be free Or under Hun dominion. Its freedom and the safety of the people will be in dan ger until Prussian militarism is destroyed. Until :he destruction of that world menace is an accom- plished fact, there can be no peace. Telegram.
