OBITUARY.

Mrs. Nellie A. Mcdonald, who passed
away at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
George o. Baker, at Encampment, on
December IA, 1917, was II of the pio-
neer residents of Denver, having made
her home in hat city for nearly forty
years. She was an active worker in sew
eral lodges at the Colorado capital, be-
ing u member of many years standing
in Camp No. 3 p. o. of A., and Wau-
meta Rebekah Lodge No. - of Denver,
and was well known to all the old-time
residents of the Colorado capital.
Her husband, Allan l.. Mcdonald,
was a well known business man of
Denver. He passed away April 3, 1890,
and is laid to rest in Riverside Gene
terry. He was a veteran of the Civil
war, as was also Mrs. Mcdonald, who
served as a nurse during the Rebellion.
Mrs. Mcdonald enjoyed good health
and spirits until about two and a half
years ago, her breakdown dating back
to the time of the sinking of the Unit
ed States submarine F-4, on March %,
1915, when her favorite nephew, Gun
ner's Mate Clark G. Buck, who was a
member of the crew of the submarine,
was lost. Mrs. Mcdonald at hat time
experienced a very vivid dream, in
which she plainly saw the sunken ub-
marine with her nephew and others in
side, trapped beyond all hope of sue
cor or assistance, and the next day she
read the papers containing the dis
patches which gave the tragic details
of the disaster, and which described the
scenes OF her dream in detail. This
experience caused a shock to her ner-
vous system from which she never re-
covered, gradually failing in health
from that time.
Mrs. Mcdonald was an estimable
woman, and one who endeared herself
to all with whom she came in contact,
and her passing is a sad blow to those
who survive her. She leaves a daugh-
ter and a son-Mrs. George o. Baker
of Encampment, and c. A. Mcdonald,
the latter being stationed at Camp Lo-
gan, Houston, Texas, as a member of
Battery f, 123d U. S. Heavy Field Ar
tillery.

Have You a podse MiniatursY

There are today a very large number
of homes in America where the most
treasured possession is a small old fash
Toned miniature, painted some time be-
tween the years 1925 and 1870, most
likely, and which bears in tiny, unos
tentatious lettering the name of the
artist, u. Dodge" If the miniature
be that of a bona fide ancestor and not
that of the bought variety its posses.
sion Is better han a ID. a. Il. pin, for
in practically every instance it is all
the proof necessary that the family an
cestor was somebody. For the artist
who painted these pictures did the
most mastery work, and his patrons
represented the statesmen and lead
ers of their time. Henry Clay, An.
drew Jackson. James X. Polk. Andrew
Johnson. Aaron Burr men famous
throughout the nation-sat to the paint.

WAR is AN
EXPENSIVE

AS a good illustration of the magni-
tude of the struggle in which this ma
ton is now engaged, the following fig
ures have been published relative to
expenditures from the United States
treasury:
From the time of Alexander Hamil-
ton, first secretary of the national
treasury, to the end of Mr.. McAdoo's
first term, the United States govern
ment had spent $21, 900, 900, 900, this to-
tai including the cost of the various
wars in which this country had been
engaged.
During the ear 1917, Mr.. McAdoo
has spent in excess of SIC, 900, OOO, 900,
and the prospects are altogether good
for a much more imposing total in 1918.

plish the double purpose of keeping
our local streams well stocked and Civ
ing their moral support to the hatch
cry management.
1t is not sufficient to make applica-
ton to Mr.. Baldwin in person. h
written, formal application, which can
be forwarded on to the fisheries depart
ment is the one that counts.
The hatchery is Il public institution,
owned by the people, built and conduct
ed for the benefit of the people, and
upon the volume of its output applied
for and demanded by the people de-
ponds in great measure the proportions
which the plant may assume in years
to come. We all know Mr.. Baldwin's
loyalty to the Platte valley, and we
know that he is only too glad to do all
in his power to keep u streams well
stocked with the finest of game fish.
However, he is not placed in charge of
the Federal hatchery for that purpose.
The fisheries department does not re-
quire him to see to 1t that the streams
of this or any other territory are kept
week stocked, and Platte valley people
should not expect it of him, unless they
are willing to give their assistance. The
department does require of him. how
ever, to furnish the fish to all who
APPLY for them, and there is where
we come in.
Mr.. Baldwin is an enthusiastic fish
culturist, if there ever was one, and he
believes that the Platte valley, with
the assistance of the local hatchery. is
destined to be the greatest game-fish-
ing resort in the entire country. He is
willing and anxious to make of the
Saratoga hatchery one of the largest
plants of its kind in the west, but the
government is not building any large
hatcheries where there is but small de-
mand for fish. The greater the de
mand, the greater latitude will he be
given i'll the creation of n fish culture
station here which can supply this
demand. But asking Mr.. Baldwin for
fish Toe not count for anything, no
matter how Obliging he may be in fur
nishing just what o van 1t is the
application to the fisheries department
hat he gets credit for, and which he
desires.
So let's all do our part. There is no
expense whatever connected with get
ting the fish from the hatchery-they
are yours for the asking. If the hatch
cry hasn't the number or variety you
require, your application goes on to the
department and Mr.. Baldwin will be
supplied with the wherewith to fill
your order. 1t is altogether desirable
that the people of this country who
have any place where they can plant
game fish should show their apprecia-
ton Of the presence of this institution
and the great work Mr.. Baldwin is try.
ing to do for lis, by applying i'll writing
for whatever quantity they can use.
1t would be no loss to the community
were the applications to come in such
numbers as to require an enlargement
of the plant with each succeeding year.

the lex draft of 100000 men for the
country's service will not be until next
March. 1t had been hoped hat mem
bers of the first draft would have been
trained and sent to the front so as to
make way for the second draft early in
the new year, but the delay seems in
evitable.
From all accounts, one of the serious
drawbacks is our inability to supply
sufficient warm clothing and certain
accoutrements in large enough quaint
ties to completely equip the second
draft before the close of the winter sea
son. Besides, some of The training
camps are still in an unfinished condi-
ton, due in most part not to scarcity
of lumber and labor, but to the inabil-
ity of mills to turn Il sufficient ma
terial on so short a notice in addition
to normal requirements of the country.
While this unfortunate condition is
much to be regretted, the fact must
not be lost sight of that we were al
most entirely unprepared at the outset,
so that what we have done in the way
of preparation, training and equipping
our new army is nothing short Of mar
velous in view of the facts.

June, in the town OF X, which would

They're all right as far as they
