CEICER LEAVES
 FOR RUBY CAMP

Henry Geiger got away with his dog team for Ruby yesterday morn ing. He came up from Ruby about two weeks ago with a Nome mining man named Miles. bringing the latter up to catch an outgoing stage. and making record time up from Ruby. During his stay here Geiger made several trips between Fairbanks and Nenana with his dog team, taking passengers both ways. He took one passenger to Nenana when he left yesterday. Charles Sampson.
 Geiger has one of the finest dog teams in the country, his team be- ing the one which he drove in the dog races down at Ruby last winter and took first place with.

 ARE REPAIRED

When locomotive No. 27O pulled train out of Nenana Saturday morn. ing it marked the climax of a piece of repair work as rapid and efficient as has ever been accomplished in the annals of railroading in Alaska.
 From the time of the burning of the roundhouse until this locomo- tive was ready for duty there was lapse of only eight days. The record is all the more remarkable because of the fact that all of the repair parts for locomotives 270 and PIP were left in Seattle last fall and all repairs had to be made with odd lots of repair parts on hand. After the boiler was tested and found to be in good shape, the engine was completely overhauled; new piping fitted, new air fixtures installed, all bearings rebabbited, and a new cab built. All credit for this work must go to J. R. Lamb, mechanical fire man, and his crew of twelve me- chanics, who have worked in a tent which served as round house and machine shop.
 MT. Lamb says that the switch engine, No. 5, will be in commission in ten days. No. PIP must have its boiler tested before any estimate can be made as to when it will be ready for use. It was in the hottest part of the fire and is probably damaged worse than the other two.
 However. with one engine in ope- ration, enough supplies and steel can be handled to keep the work going.
 The cooks and walters left yester- day to reopen Camp 16, at the end of the steel, and the steel gang will go out on the train Monday morning. This means that steel will be laid nearly to Mile 35 before spring and that ballasting can be done from both ends of the line. The drag line excavator will be taken across the river next month and will be used on the Nenana-Fairbanks line during the coming season.

BAKER ADDRESS
 IS PRODUCTIVE
 MUCH INTEREST

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 29.- Secretary Bakers address yesterday in reply to the criticisms of Senator Chamberlain regarding the ability of the war department to handle the war program of the government was the center of interest in the capitol today. His assertion that an Ameri- can army of 500,00O men will be in France before spring and that 1.5OO,- 900 more men would be available for French service this year was a surprise to almost every member of the senate, and much comment has been made on it.
 The outline given by the secre- tary revealed many carefully guard ed facts which have hitherto been held confidential, and the fact that he has chosen to reveal them at this time is believed to be an indi. cation that the plans have progressed to such an extent that it can do no harm even if they become known to the enemy.
 It is thought that the war cabinet and special ordnance bureau legisla. tion which is being prepared by Sen ator Chamberlain received its death blow when the secretary made his statement. All parties are congratu- lating the secretary on his splendid record and the manner in which he defended the war departments ac- tivities

MARQUETTE, Mich, Jan. 29.-A serious fire resulting from an ex- plosion in the alcohol refining plant in the primary building of the series condensers in the Pioneer Iron Fur. mace company last night destroyed the refinery and caused a loss of $500,000. All the employees in the building were able to escape without injury.
 The company officials are at a loss to account for the explosion, which is not thought to have been acci- dental. An investigation will prob ably be necessary to fix the blame for the disaster.

means that the actual value OF the
silver, nickel an bronze made into
coins was s2o,53e.Ooo less than the
face value at which they were issued.

to such an extent that the thee mints
were kept busy twenty-four hours 8

duction More than 714.000.000 coins
were manufactured, as compared with
406,000,000 the year. before, q high

The greatest demand was for one
cent pieces. of which 445.000,000 were
minted. Next the country needed new
dimes, and 116,D00.0O0 of these. were
made: S2,723.000 nickels.' IS, 223. 900

VETERAN DIVISIONS STAY
UNTIL PEACE IS DECREED

Expressing his PERSONAL opinion that
mono Of the veteran divisions Of the
American expeditionary forces Will
return to the. United States before
peace has been formally declared. Sec
rotary Baker says those units prob
ably will comprise the bulk Of the
force to be kept in Europe until that
time. .-. 80
| Gen. Pershing has recommend
that the army of occupation consist OF
not less than thirty divisions. The
organizations selected for transport
to the United States are those In ex-
cess Of that requirement.
It is entirely possible, according to
Secretary Baker, that some further
reduction may be found practical
when the expeditfonary forces have
been cut down to the estimate. ~.
It had been understood that the
Rainbow Division and two or three
other famous units among the early
arrivals would be brought home soon,
leaving their places to be filled by
some divisions which arrived in France
Just before the armistice was signed.
Recent dispatches from France
have said that an American army of
1,250,0O0 was to remain in Europe for
duty until after the proclamation of
peace, and some veteran divisions in
addition to those now marching into
Germany probably will be included in
that force.

Expansion Of the. activities, Of tho

the principles underlying its estab-

posed by Secretary McAdoo of the
Treasury Department. He goes on
record again in recommending enact.
ment of an equitable retirement law
for civil service employees. 80
1.-THE necessity for. effective action
Of some character along this line.
saws Secretary McAdoo, has been
accumulated during the period OF war.
It would seem to be not only q meas
ure Of justice to faithful public serv-
ants who have devoted their AYes
and talents to the government, but 1t
would also be in the INTEREST," OF
economy and increased efficiency in
the administration of the pubic bust
ness" '.f -
Secretary McAdoo confidently be-
lieves that the solution lies along
the lines of insurance, with both the
government and the civil empioye
contributing to a scientific plan that
will provide for retirement as well as
insurance against death.
Humanity demands that something
be done for the civil employees OF the
government" he insists, "and sug-
gestions Of pension systems While
praiseworthy as an effort to render
Justice and effective as an expedient'
would probably not afford real So
