REPORTS SAY PAY
 IS NOT EXTENSIVE

Reports of the finding of a new Eldorado in the Goodnews bay dis trict, which have caused consider able excitement in Nenana and other Interior towns, do not appear to be founded on fact, according to re- liable advices received this week by Max M. Smith, manager of the local N. c. store.
 When the reports of the discovery of rich pay in the distant district first reached Nenana, Mr. Smith telegraphed to the company agents at Iditarod and St. Michael, request ing such information as they might have obtained. The replies indicate that not sufficient has been fdlnd thus far to warrant stampede and the nature of the district is such that those acquainted with condi- tions do not believe that an ex- tensive paystreak will be uncovered.
 Recent reports printed in coast papers state that there is no timber in the Goodnews country and the climate is very disagreeable. About the only redeeming feature is the nearness of the gold to the surface, bedrock being within easy reach where the gold has been found.
 The first telegram received by MT. Smith came from Agent Chas. w. Carlson, of St. Michael, and reads as follows: Party just in from Goodnews reports pay struck on Watermoose creek last September. Seven thousand feet of bedrock sluiced with eleven thousand dollars. Pay on three claims only Creek is tributary to Goodnews river, twenty miles inland from Goodnews school house. Informant reports nothing to justify stampede, but believes country offers possible opportuni- ties for prospecting"
 The second wire was sent by C. P. Wood, agent of the company at Iditarod. It reads as follows ''Three claims with pay on creek called Watermoose, in GooGnews district. Nothing else has been dis covered, neither is it likely to be- come extensive. No excitement here, only one or two having left here to investigate Advise keeping your shirt on. If anythings de- velops, will advise"

MEMBERS UNDECIDED
 ON CLUB ROOMS PLAN

The two questions of chief inn portance which were considered by the members of the Nenana Com mercial club at the meeting held last Sunday were the endorsement of Steve Foster for the position of game warden, to succeed R. S. Nc Donald, and the selection" of per manent quarters for the proposed business and social club.
 The endorsement of Foster was unanimous, various of the members expressing the belief that Nenana's applicant for the game warden posi- tion is we'll suited for the work of enforcing the game laws of this dis trict. It was voted to send a wire to Governor Strong, urging the ap- pointment of Foster, the wire to be signed by the president and secre- tary of the club and by the special committee appointed to decide upon suitable candidate for the position. The club question was not finally disposed of at this meeting, but at special meeting held January 29, the executive committee of the club was authorized to make the neces- sary arrangements for the occupancy of the Roberts building. Upon fur ther deliberation, however, this com mittee decided to defer signing the lease until another meeting of the club is held and the matter prob ably will be up for final considera- tion tomorrow
 MT. Roberts already has started remodeling his building to meet the requirements of the club and unless 1t is decided tomorrow not to pro- ceed with the combined organization, 1t is his intention to add four feet to the width of the upper story, which will give the club quarters 200 feet additional floor space.

READY TO FRAME
LAWS FOR TREATY

Legislation amending the draft
law to carry out certain OF the pro-
visions Of the proposed draft treaty
with Great Britain will be taken up
by Congress Immediately after the
treaty is confirmed.
Two distinctly important amend
ments are Immediately necessary, Of
ficials have pointed out. First, the
Provost Marshal General must be
empowered to draft British subjects
here who come within the British
draft age-eighteen to forty-five.
Then neutral subjects must be more
definitely protected.
Senators familiar with the facts
say that serious complications are
threatened because the War Depart
ment called into service neutrals who
failed to waive their rights. The de-
partment ruled that. unless a neu-
trail claims exemption when first call

Eress. The great drain on the

although he later filed a waiver. Since
then he has been killed in action
The new amendment specifically will
exempt all neutraIs automatically.
The draft treaty remains in the
hands OF a subcommittee OF the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
1t Is expected that an early favorable
report will be made on II. Many SEN
ators hold that the treaty as drafted
and signed on behalf OF the United
States and the British government
places the United States under a
moral obligation Immediately to
change the American draft age to
conform to the British limits. Senator
Hitchcock, chairman OF the commit
tee, denies that this is so and will
oppose any Legislation along this line.

James Barnes, one OF the four play
ers who will give an exhibition golf
match at Columbia Country Club for
the beneht Of the. Red Cross tomor-
row morning and afternoon, IL enc of
the most picturesque figures of the
game. Of
big Jim he is called, and 'Tsong
JIM" and also THE Man from the
Land of Giants" for he halls from
Cornwall, Wales, and he is rated as
one OF the longest drivers in the
game. He Is temperamental IN golf.
When things are not going TO his Xix
ing, he shows It. At other times he
plays with mRehinelike., precision.
Then he is feared by his opponents.
Driver and Putter, Too.
Barnes refuted the theory that a
long driver Is a poor putter in the
ancient game. He excels In driving
and putting. His great height Is a
tremendous asset in driving. His ae-
euracy with both midiron and nashis
have won him deserved fame. II he
has any weakness, it is on the put
ting green. But no opponent counts
upon this weakness.
Barnes combines distance with &C
curacy. In 1917, in the Western
championship, Barnes was off the
course but three times when he
needed a u to win. His score for
the four rounds at the Westmoreland
Country Club course at Evanston, Ill,
was 2S3, five strokes less than par.
The Bradmoor Hotel, Of Colorado
Springs, gets Barnes about July /.
He q ard
has stipulated in his contract that
he be allowed to compete in Red
Cross matches, which he has done
many times during the spring.
