IMPERSONATOR
 IS IN CUSTODY

Yesterday morning Deputy Marshal J. c. Wood took into custody l. M. Cox, a late arrival, on advices re. ceived from Deputy Spencer of Cir cle. The charge on which he was taken into custody was that of de- frauding road house keepers along the trail between Fairbanks and Circle.
 Cox has also travelled under two aliases, Billy Johnson and Kid O'Con- nell, being registered at one of the hotels in town under the first name.
 While making the journey from the Yukon town to Fairbanks he represented himself as an officer for the purpose of Investigating slack CTS on the many inland creeks, and by using such representation was able to hoodwink the road house keepers for awhile.
 Shortly after his arrival in Fair banks he was compelled to go to the hospital to receive treatment for his feet, which were badly used up by his overland trip, and at which place he was taken into custody The time of his arraignment has not been set.

SLIDES TO BE
 CLEARED SOON

From the headquarters of the Al aska Road commission yesterday it was learned that the road between Fairbanks and the coast would soon be open to traffic clear through. For the past two or three weeks the road has been blocked by large masses of earth and rock which have slid from the hillside in the vicinity of the summit.
 With the clearing of the road and the rebuilding of the retaining walls which were broken down by the slide the trail will be passable once more and traffic resumed to the coast without relaying. This will be welcomed by those who own autos and who are expecting to make the outgoing trip in their own convey ances.

PROPERTY SALE
 AT NENANA WAS
 HELD SUDDENLY

NENANA, July 9.--As the result of a sale of property held here to day by A. Christensen. head of the industrial department of the Alaskan Engineering commission, the busi- ness people of the town are much incensed at what may be termed a people being present when the sale was held.
 No previous notice of the sale was made with the exception of a small notice posted on the side of the land office building. The regu- lar bulletin board in the main part of town, upon which the residents and business people look for any announcement pertaining to the busi- ness of the town, was never posted with the announcement of the sale, and on this score the residents deem that they have been passed by in the notification.
 With one or two exceptions, no one was advised that the sale would be held. Previous understanding was to the effect that the sale would be held on the eleventh of the month, and the people are at loss to comprehend why the sale was
 
 generally understood.
 The lots disposed of were located in one of the best sections of the town, and had the sale been held on the day generally understood, many bidders would have been in evidence, as the property was de- sirable from more standpoints than one.

AIR PILOTS TO
 BE OPERATORS
 WITH WIRELESS

SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE, June 15.-Every pilot in the British air service is now trained wireless telegraphist. The field of use of the wireless in connection with airplanes is. however, limited by two factors the weight of the apparatus and the noise and vibration of the engines.
 Heavier than air craft cannot re- main aloft, as airships can, with en- zines stopped for the better recep- tion of long distance wireless mes- sages. But the wireless has en- larged the field of use of airplanes in warfare. Messages transmitted by the Cavalry of the air" now keep headquarters in touch with every visible movement on the part of the enemy. It is however, in connec. tion with artillery that wireless is chiefly employed. The comparatively light sets required for the trans mission of messages a distance equal to the range of the largest of modern guns is but small load for the average two-seater airplane.
 The difficulty of receiving sound" signals in the air will be apparent when it is stated that conversation between pilot and observer is inn practicable, without the use of spec ial "loudspeaking" telephones, on ac- count of the noises made by the en. zine. the hum of the vibrating rig ging, and the rush of the air The effect of vibration, apart from the noise, is perhaps the greatest diff culty to overcome in designing the receiving apparatus.
 Signals sent when flying across the ground station, or when turning are not so clear as those sent while flying directly toward or away from the receiving station.

BALL AND BAT
 FUND STARTED

Chief of Police Frank Wiseman yesterday received communication from Clark c. Griffith enclosing g petition for signatures and subscrip tions for the Ball and Bat Fund that is now going on in every State in the Union for the purpose of rais ing funds for the purchase of balls and bats to be sent to the boys at the front.
 Clark Griffith, manager of the Washington club of the American league, started the movement some time ago, and 1t has gradually spread until it is now all over the country. The list will be placed systematically in every business house in town for the purpose of receiving signatures, and at the present time is at the NOrdale hotel, where those who wish may afiix their signatures and turn in whatever they are able to afford to give the boys at the front a chance for little pleasure.

TIMBER MAN IS
 TRAVELLING ON

The general land office is advised that Timber Cruiser H. K. Carlisle, who left Fairbanks some time ago on his annual cruise on the Yukon river and tributaries, was at Fort Yukon on the 7th and left there for Circle, arriving at the upriver place on the Sth. which is considered as good time between the two places.
 Carlisle will proceed up river to the boundary line and then proceed down river for the purpose of check ing up the wood contracts and home stead observations between that place and Panama. On his arrival at Panama it is not certain whether he will proceed further down river or return to Fairbanks.

THE REGULARS
 ARE COMING IN

The close of each day sees an other small sum added for the relief of the fatherless ones in France. While the amount is not large as a rule, it goes to make up for the az gregate, which for this month should be large.
 There have been several months in which the fund has been enabled to provide for several orphans yearly, and an effort will be made this month to have another such that will equal the best month shown this year.
 The donor yesterday was one who has been steady in contributing his mite for several months, being on hand promptly with his three dollars before the tenth of the month. This money he makes by doing odd jobs and errands for the neighbOrs. The stand of the fund to date is as follows:
 Previously acknowledged .$73.25 Teddy Brown .............. 300 Total to date .$76.25

ANIMAL OWNERS ID bE ARRESTED
 CRUELTY CHARGE

Due to the heartlessness or the thoughtlessness of several owners of horses and mules that have been turned loose to shift for themselves during this hot weather, attention has been brought to the sufferings endured by these animals from mos- quitoes and flies, which at times drive them nearly frantic with their bites and stings.
 At Graehl there are a number of animals which have been placed out to pasture there which are without ample shelter to protect themselves from the vicious attacks of the pests, and at times their agony is such that they scream with the pain In sev. eral instances it has been noticed that these animals have been going without food in their efforts to rid being unable to graze on account of fighting the pests. Some of them are literally covered with blood from the bites of the insects.
 The neglecting of the animals is entirely uncalled for at this time of the year, when man with his in genuity can hardly combat the at tacks of the insects, and some pro- vision should be made for the pro- lection Of dumb beasts who are un- able to protect themselves
 J. T. Mcdonald and R. M Brown have taken the matter in hand and a warning is issued to those having animals at large to take them up and provide for hem in some man. her or a warrant will be requested for the owners arrest on the charge of cruelty to animals Those who are at fault will be given until o'clock this evening to have their stock under shelter or else an ar rest will follow.
 In this conjunction it is requested by both Mir. Brown and Mr. Me Donald that anyone knowing of hors- es or other stock running at large that are in a like circumstances would have their appreciation if they would notify them so that action may be taken for the protection of the beasts.

TOURISTS ARE
 ENJOYING TRIP

On one of the auto stages leaving yesterday morning MT. and Mrs. J. B. Agnew of San Francisco, Cali fornia, were passengers for the Out side. They have been making a tour of Alaska and took the trail route to have change of scenery.
 Both MT. and Mrs. Agnew are ex- perienced travellers. having toured the continents and other places of attraction, and in all their travels they have never seen the equal of Alaska's scenery. especially on the upper part of the Yukon river and the coast views. It is probable that both will make the trip to the in terior next year and bring party with them.

Timely Hints for the Housewife

Potatoes are a splendid fou,l- -ex cellent for the body, and delicious when well cooked.
 They ars good fuel. They furnish starch which burns in your muscles to let you work, much as the gaso line burns in an automobile engine to make the car go.
 One medium-sized potato gives you as much starch as two slices of bread. When you have potatoes for a meal you need less bread. To tatoes can save wheat.
 They give you salts like other vegetables. You need the salts to build and renew all parts of your body and to keep it in order.
 Dont's to help you in baking DO. tatoes:
 Don't have your oven too hot.
 Don't have different sized pota. toes.
 Don't delay in getting them in they refuse to be hurried along to. ward the last.
 Don't fail to allow 45 minutes to an hour for medium sized OF potato.
 Don't pick too big potatoes.
 Don't put them in your oven drip ping with cold water.
 Don't plan to serve them as a second course in dinner, it is diff ficult to time them just right-use them with the first course in a lunch or supper.
 Cautions for boiled potatoes:
 Boil them in their jackets if pos sible so that you need not lose the valuable mineral matter which lies close to the skin.
 Be sure to remove the water from boiled potatoes as soon as they are done.
 After draining the water off, don't let them stand covered; the steam should be allowed to escape.
 Mashed potatoes should not be smoothed down on top. Let the steam escape and the potatoes will be mealy.
 Here are some excellent potato recipes, sent out by the United States food administration: STUFFED BAKED POTATOES
 When potatoes are thoroughly baked remove from the oven, scoop out the inside into dish. Add milk, few gratings of cheese, about teaspoon to a potato and salt. Mix thoroughly but do not mash the po- tato, repack into the shells. Replace in the oven and heat for ten minutes. POTATO TURNOVERS
 Boil and put through ricer enough potatoes to measure pint Add one we'll beaten egg, one table spoon flour and season with salt.

PAT DRISCOLL
 TO JOIN NAVY:
 FOURTH TO GO

On the outgoing stage yesterday moi ming as passenger was Pat Driscoll, an oldtimer of the camp, who is going Outside for the pur- pose of enlisting in the naval ser vice of the United States. Pat ex- poets to experience some difficulty in entering the service, as he has not yet taken out his second citizen. ship papers, but will apply to Wash them.
 With the enlistment of Pat there will be four brothers of his family serving under the colors of the al lies. Daniel and William are at the present time serving with the Brit ish artillery in France. Another brother, Timothy, lost his life in the naval battle off Jutland when the cruiser Indefatigable went down.
 Patrick with his brother John has been in the mining game for about eight years in the Fairbanks dis, trict, and his departure leaves only John to provide the grubstake for the balance of the family. As soon as circumstances will permit John will answer the call also.
 With the offering of his services to the country Pat has considerably refuted the statement made that the Irish won't fight. It is a matter of racial history that wherever fight is going on an Irishman is sure to be in it if there is one within light ing distance.

 Select potatoes of uniform size scrub them with a vegetable brush and drop them into boiling water Cook them with the cover of the kettle ajar just until they are tender about 20 or 30 minutes.
