Letters From Soldier Boys
Continued from page ~

Trunk" When | come back will
eliminate some of my francs in your
behalf, saw wood, or scrub. Have
learned how to do this in the army.
The boys have been remembered
finely by tteir friends and it is en-
couraging to them. This is no pic
mic or excursion. They have dug
bitches. section work, camps, camp
roads, and the greater majority are
operating light railways which can
not be dispensed with. Quite lot
of the old difficulty of message Mr..
Farrell copied several years ago.
All the Grand Trunk and Maine
Central boys in this Company are
working and in excellent health.
Usually the provisions are very
good, but whenever there is a bunch
of German prisoners taken our ra-
tons must be cut little. They use
the German prisoners too we'll if any,
thing. Those that are proficient,
and will work, receive the same pay
for it as civilians. l have seen many
of the prisoners at work and they
look at the American troops in as
constituent as if they were a bunch
of Texas Rangers. Have been in
several Canadian Camps and looked
for Mccarthy and Sadlier, but have
not had the pleasure of meeting
them. Some of our Sergeants OBJ
served the Canadians when they
went over the top some time ago,
and said they were a wild bunch.
Sounded as if Eddie might be with
them. | think before you receive
this letter you will hear of some
good progress made by the allies. 1t
is indeed a great sight to see a
bunch of aroplanes manoeuvering
closely over our camp. A beautiful
silk American flag flying at our
camp when they pass, and our COM
mander, who is a good.sport, gives
them the high ball with it.
l went to the city recently shop
ping and got a good civilian feed;
had to walk ten miles each way to
do it. | walked over portions of the
old historic road built by the Ro.
mans and Napoleon's army roads
Ancient history has nothing on this
affair, and we do not know now
when we will get home.
They have some fine rock roads
for meters and do sure hit the high
spots. Everything from sbaby
carriage tosa $50 ton gun carriage
for cannon. There are many Hindt
and Indians here. Have been with
them laying pipes and loading stone
can speak their language as we'll az
French. They like the American.
because they kid them along. One
Hindo said America good. Germany
no, bon. The Americans have swift
ambulance service. One of the
American trains injured an Indiar
and the ambulance made Is miles il
as many minutes. All the Crane
Trunk boys extend their best re
CARDS to you all and the VILLAGE
will look good to US sometime
Wish you all Happy and Prosper
GUS New Year.
Yours respectfully,

 The average cost per lot for the entire settlement will be between $500 and $7.O0, according to the appraised valuation of the lots, which was arrived at according. to their respective location, and whel 1t is taken into consideration that I17S lots are involved in the set clement it must De realized that the work has been done in a mosl expeditions and economical manner; as well as a business like and legal manner.

In another column of this paper is the legal notice for the final settlement of the Haines townsite.
 For twenty years the people of Haines have been endeavoring to obtain title to their respective lots or parcels of land, but owing to the litigation which kept the mat ter in the courts by reason of 8 suit brought by Col. Sol Ripinsky, swho laid claim to title Of the land embracing a greater portion of the townsite, nothing couldb e done.

 LATEST U.BoAT TRICK.

London. = Tricky German U- boat commanders have conceived a new plan designed to deceive crews oA the allied submarine destroyers in the game of hide and Seek in European waters. When, 8 depth bomb s discharged and does not cripple or destroy the German un- adersea boat, as sometimes happens, Ia quantity of oil is released by some device of the spbmersible and quickly rises to the waters sur lace.
 The hope of the German U-boat captain is that the commander of the destroyer will see the oil, be- neve the submarine has been wreck ed and drop no more depth charges, Meantime, the German is endeaYor- ing to escape.
 American and British commanders of destroyers and submarine chas- CTS discovered the scheme of the Germans some time ago and since then have been dropping depth bombs in greater numbers than previously, using the oil as a guide to the general location of their target.
 "Oil. camouflage" the American and British navy men call thdt. lat est German submarine trick.

 Tn Alaska the war has transferred energy from certain fields to others more closely allied with tile war. Stagnatton has resulted in some industries, tremendous speeding mp in others. Any di- version of labor in a territory Of 30 small a population is very noticeable. T he number of men drawn into the Army will be small. Aaska's quota in the first draft. called this spring, was only 6SS. But volunteers, like contributions of money, have been numerous.
 One young man was eager to reach the front. He travelled to New York at his OWE expense-S6OO it cost-because he thought his chance of sailing early was, more certain than at an Alaskan post.
 Alaska's principal contribution, is ir material resources. The, mines and fisheries work at top speed today.
 The salmon industry is expand ing and the clam Canneries are increasing their output. A. law of 1917 authorizes 8 new territorial fish commission, which will con struct fish hatcheries, protect the natural spawning grounds, and oth- erwise increase the important Al askan fish trade.
 Copper mines supply the greatest contribution from the Territoy. in war materials. The output of these mines has greatly increased to supply the demands of the allies since the outbreak of the war. The high price of copper and the activi- ties n the mines have attracted men -nere from the gold mines. Goo is of supreme importance now. The country needs a vast supply to back up loans and secure its credit. Secretary McAdoo says that the supply of gold, after munitions and food. is the most important prob lem of the Nation. so the great gold fields of Alaska are one of the financial securities of the Unit ed States.
 Deposits of rare metals, tin, anti mony, and tungsten are being deVel- oped. Chrome, formerly shipped at expense of much tonnage from New Caledonia, is mined in Alaska now. The Geological Survey is c0ncen- trating its investigation of mineral resources to those of value in the war.
 Valuable spruce forests are con tracted to the Government for aero plane manufacture.
 Alaska is a country rich in val uable resources. The scattered pop ulation is engaged in rushing them to the places of consumption for the war. In the meanwhile they are making every effort not to call upon the States unnecessarily ex- cept for news. The Alaskans are always eager for that. They prove that t takes more than climate to freeze the patriotism of Americans.
