II BOB IN HUN TRENCH,
MAC GOES BACK

Seattle, Wash. Private SANDY"
McNab, a Highlander from Vacncou-
YER, B. c., tells the following story.
which he vouches for as true: A reg
iment of Scotch Highlanders went
over the top in Flanders early in the
war, and the fighting in the German
trenches was so hot that the Ladies
from He'll were forced back to their
own trenches. On getting back a pri-
vate named McGregor gave evidence
of deep distress.
whats ailin' we, McGregor mon?"
yelled his comrades. 81 dropped my
purse, containing Ia bob, in the boche
trenches" he walled.
Thereupon the whole regiment went
over the top again, drove the Huns
out of the trenches, and, after much
searching, recovered McGregor's
purse and captured a couple of Ger
man majors as souvenirs.

COL. w. r. MORROW GIVEN U. S.
CROSS FOR GALLANTRY

Washington, D. C.-The command
er in chief of the American expedi-
tionary forces has awarded the Dis
tinguished Service Cross to Col. Will
liam r. Morrow, Seventh infantry, for
extraordinary heroism in action at
Claire Chenes, north of Montfaucon,
France, October 2O-21, 1918. On Oc-
tober 20, 1918, when the Claire Chenes
had been taken by the troops of his
command and a hostile counter attack
had forced them back over the ground
gained in the mornings fighting, Col.
Morrow at once took personal COM
mand of the battalion engaged in the
operations, reorganized 1t, and with
distinguished gallantry and inspiring
example led his men to a victorious
counter attack, drove the enemy from
the woods, secured its possession, and
consolidated it. On October 81 he
again displayed the same qualities Of
leadership and personal gallantry in
the successful assault on Hill No. 299.

GOLD STAMPEDE IN ALASKA NOW
A TAME AFFAIR

Fairbanks, Alaska-Present day
Alaska gold stampedes are quiet af-
fairs, generally held with a slittle
publicity as possible Although noise
probably was made by the men who
went north in the 1898 rush, more of
it was heard in the roadhouses than
on the gold creeks even then.
A short time ago stampede was
on" to a creek near here. The Fair
banks Citizen told of it in the follow
ing story:
For the last few days men have
been leaving the town quietly, ostensi-
bly, for Shatanika. Two automobile
loads left on Monday for the same
place. On inquiry it was divulaged
that stampede was on to the old
Ophir Creek diggings. Besides those
leaving Fairbanks, many left Chata-
nika tarlier in the week to stake
ground.
"Ophir creek heads up the other
side of the Chatanika divide, opposite
the head of Poker creek. 1t was pros
pected several years ago, but was con-
sidered as not being worth working
The new strike was made three miles
below Old Discovery, on the benches
instead of in the creek. The results
and values of the new find will not be
known to a certainty until same re-
liable stalker returns"

MRS. STOKES HAS GIVEN HER
HOME FOR GIRLS CLUB

New York-Mrs. Arson Phelps
Stokes has recently turned over her
attractive home at 230 Madison ave-
nue. to the Y. NJ. C. A. to be used as a
club for girls volunteering for over
seas work with that organization.
The afirst two floors of the house,
which is completely furnished, con-
tain the parlors, music room, writing
room, library, and dining room. The
rest is given over to sleeping quarters
for the young women from all parts
of the country who are waiting in
New York for their final instructions
and passports before saiding to Eu-
rope.
1t was thought at first that the
house would accommodate all of the
"Y" girls volunteering for service in
France, but it has been found neces-
sary to engage a hundred additional
bedrooms in the neighborhood.
Miss Juliana Cutting is in charge of
the new club.

DECLARES COURTS ARE DIS
GRACED by HORSEPLAY

Los Angeles, Cal.-That several of
the police courts of Los Angeles are
conducted in an indecorous manner
and that attorneys make faces" at
the prosecutor behind his back and
grimace at the jury with the tacit con-
sent of the judge, were the charges
made by DR.. Robert C. Barton, execu-
tive. secretary of the morale efficiency
commission.
This charge was made by DR.. Bar
ton after listening to the reports or
investigators he had detailed to ascer-
tain the reason for the large number
of mot guilty" verdicts in charges in
volving violation of the new Gambler
| liquor ordinance.
He said that this "horseplay" seri-
ously interfered with the efficiency of
the courts and the work of police Off
GERS and tended to sway the influence
of the Jurors.

BY HEALTH OFFICER

Venice, Cal.-The elephants in the
Al G. Barnes circus nearly went on
strike when Health officer Magee
halted the long train of circus cars
aided by a squad of military police,
insisted upon a thorough fumigation
of the whole outfit.
The circus had recently come from
the east, where the FLU" germs were
particularly virulent, and the local
health officer did not want to take any
chances. So he had half dozen mem
bers of the street sweeping depart
ment go from car to car with lysol,
creolin, formaldehyde, and other dis
infestants.
There was no particular protest I'M
til the crew reached the elephant
herd. The huge creatures looked with
suspicion upon the FLU" cleaners and
trumpeted loudly as the fumes of the
disnfectants reached their sensitive
nostrils.
Finally every animal was given a
smoke barrage and the cars passed
through a gas attack. At length the
health officer raised the quarantine
and the circus folks went to their win
ter quarters.

BETTER TO DIE THAN SURREN.
DER, WRITES 1T ALLAN

Rapallo, Italy-Capt DR.. Queirolo
has received the following letter from
a poor prisoner from the neighbor-
hood of BorZonasca, since returned,
who describes to his parents the ter
rible months he passed in the Aus
trian camp at Mauthausen.
The letter in full follows:
Relating some of my experiences
as prisoner in the camp at Mauthau-
sen, here is what one eats in that en-
pire of starvation: Six ounces of a
bread made of straw and wood; lit
tie water in which few turnips and
herring had been boiled, and that
not every day.
"Flogging was common; a number
every day. Persons with high fever
were compelled to work, drawing cars
filled With earth and stone; If they
complained they were struck and tied
hand and foot to poles erected in a
way to suspend them above the
ground. Often this punishment lasted
six hours and ended in death.
easter we passed without any food
at all.
"In Austria I saw only repulsive
and cruel things during my eight
months stay. Never anything hui
name. l also saw the gallows on
which Cesare Batttisti suffered death
Better to die thousand times than
to fall prisoner to the Austrians."

WANTS TO BUILD BRIDGE
(Vanceburg SUM

Ed Rand has served notice upon
County Judge w. T. Stone that he was
ready to build the bridfe over Syc-
amore creek which was estimated, we
believe, to cost about $4,000. This is
part of the celebrated Concord Hill
road about which there has been con-
siderable litigation. Rand was given
the oulvert and bridge work by Jones,
the Contractor. If the estimate before
the war was 100000, 1t is safe to say
II would cost more than twice that, or
II the estimate was made by the same
State Engineer that made the esti-
mate of Camden Creek bridge at the
Fair Grounds, II would cost over $780,
900 to build, all things considered, But
lei II be built, who cares?

One thousand acres of rice will be
carried over the emergency peak, with
a saving of about $4,000, as the re-
suit of a survey of the rice situation
made by the county agent of Stanis-
laus County, Cal. A report of this
survey, showing the imperative need
of more water, was made by the agent
a special session of the County Coun-
Gil of Defense. The remainder of the
irrigation water in the Modesto Irri-
cation District was promised to the
rice men by the district directors as
result of the agents report.
