SAND SHOTS FROM
18TH INFANTRY

The entire second battalion left on
Sunday afternoon for the rifle range
to be gone until Wednesday, and the
light shower Of rain and threatening
weather in general didn't look any too
encouraging. The first battalion had
its fling at trench work again and was
on duty for AZ hours during the past
week.
Announcement that there is to be
vaudeville at the Liberty Theater for
three weeks straighs is hailed with de-
light to the devottes in the 112th. BY
the way the regiment, between extra
guards, plenty of details and work in
the open country has been sending a
GOOD share of Smileage-ites to the new
theater night after night.
The drafted men who hail from Ira
Wis. Meade and Lee and of whom the
regiment received quite a few during
the week Just passed are falling into
the work in fine fashion. They par
ticipated in the practice hike, the first
the regiment has had in a month or
more, last Friday morning.
And now comes the startling newa
that Corporal Jim Crozier is married
Crozier is the rising young fellow who
handles morning reports at r. TT. O.,
and who has been away on a ten days
furlough. Loyal friends, however, are
hoping that Cupid won't nab Clyde M.
Davis and Lester Swartz, two of his
bunkees, who are away at present.
Joe Orr, one of the best-known
newspaper men of northwestern Penn
sylvania who is managing editor of
the Oil City Derrick is in the south
on six weeks vacation and dropped
intothe Hath Headquarters to see his
friend, Captain James G.. Shaw, on
Sunday afternoon. He also paid visit
to the Oil City boys and TO the officers
of Company D.
The men of the 112th, as well as the
officers, were glad to see Colonel Geo.
c. Richards back on the field again
Saturday morning, and as a result
there was plenty of snap in the parade
of the regiment which was. staged in
his honor.
Company clerks are holding picnic
of their own these days, following the
announcement they won't have to make
out muster rolls. pay rolls and monthly
returns.
The regiment is like a slaughtered
Iephant-almost trunkless now.
The parades which the various bat
talions of the regiment participate in
throughout the week re of great in
terest to the men, as well as to the
visitors There is battalion parade
Monday Tuesday and Thursday even
ings. and a regimental parade ON Fri
day evening. There are always a
number of Augustans out to see the
regiment pass in review, and week
after week constant improvement is
noticed.
Pictures showing the Wrightsboro
Road with fringe of trees south of the
highway and near the 18th area are
away out of date. There isn't much
grass growing on or near the 112th reg
iment area now-fact is, the boys are
too busy and the suns too hot.

 Review of Work Done
 The activities of Delegate Sulzer in introducing and pressing for passage legislation directly and indirectly of benefit to the territory and it's resi-. dents are given in detail Beg!nning with the home rule bill, which Was reviewed n 'his column yesterday together with the attitude of his 0p.

Sulzer's bill was pre- pared with great care and argued be fore the committee on fisheries, and he has invited criticism of the meas urc in order to cure any possible de fects
 The delegates activities in behalf of the goldmning industry are de tailed at length. and it should be q matter Of pride and qualification to Alaskans to know that Delegate Sul- Ger was the leader in the campaign to secure such assistance for this in dustry that it might continue to exist
 Delegate Sulzer succeeded also in securing an amendment to the army appropriation bill whereby funds for Alaska's roads may hereafter be se- cured through estimates made by the war department and incorporation in the regular appropriation bills, thus ohv!ating the former methods of un- certainty and dependence uron the whim of some one disgruntled con gressman, who could block the apprO- priation by point of order.
 The end of the continuous squab- bling on this question for which Dele gates Sulzer's predecessor was re- sponsihle is not the least of Mir. Sul- gers mplishments.

(Elited by Chas. A. Derry

A campaign document ol unusual interest has just been issued from the Sulzer headquarters at June.u, en- titled "Why You Should Vote for Sul- ger" It is d resume oi the activities Of the delegate during his past two years in congress, and is complete and striking answer to the slurring charges oi the Wickershamitss that Delegate Sul2cr has accomplished nothing during his term ot office in bsEal Of hls constituents and the ter .l,oly hc #o ,D.y represents.
 Compared with the results attained by James WIckcrsham durng his hlst term La delegate, it is an elo. Qucnt argument III favor ot the meth ous ul Mir. 5ullcr aS compared with these oI his predecessor and present oppoucht The .orcNord Of this docu. mcnt says.
 "Anothcr campaign is on, in which, among other things, the voters oi Alaska will be called upon, ol Nov ., to select by their ballots delegate to congress- Charles A. Sulzer, Dem ocrat, who was elected to congress in 1916, is candidate for reelection. and is running this year on the Republican ticket.
 This document is printed, there fore and circulated among the voters ill order that they may have d com prehensiyc knowledge of the work done by Mir. Sulzer and of his accom- plshmcnts during his term Of office and that they may have q more inti- mate understanding of the aims and views ot the candidates"
 Support of Administration
 Although the delegate from Alaska has no vote in the house Of representatives" continues the docu- mcnt, Mir Sulzer has in other ways lent his active support to the admins tration at all times and has consist ently backed up President Wilson in his war policies. Evidence of the fact that he is in hearty accord with ad- ministration leaders is given in num- Der of letters from congressman and others which also appear in this docu- ment
 Mir Sulzer has done everything in his power to advise the people of Alaska of the true issues of the war as well as ;o keep th"m posted as ;" war aims of the administration. He has sent to Alaska tens of thousands of pamphlets and patriotic literature, which were pUblisheI by the govern ment to point out the dupliCity and bascness of the enemy and the falsity of the German propaganda, In fact the delegate succeeded in securing for Alaska more patriotic literature

 A bill allowing the city of Seward to issue bonds for public improve ments was pressed to successful conclusion by Delegate SulZcr.
 A bill abolishing the cightrOp strip reservation between land entries along navigablc waters has been reported favorably to the house. and MT. Snl- ger is confident of its passage, thus enabling a large number of settlers to obtain title to lands upon which they have lived and worked for years.
 A bill providing for agricultural en- tries on coal lands.

He has also secured from the land office new rulings in regard to good faith of hOmcStcaders in the cultivation of land which will be beneficial to this deserving class of Alaska citizens.
 Senator PoindcXter's amendment to the naval appropriation bill, provid- ing for an appropriation of one million dollars for the navy to mine coal in Nl"ska. was ably pressed in commit tee and in the house by Delegate Sul- ger. and its passage by the lower house and final enactment cliCited nom Senator PoindeXter words of ap- prcciation and commendation for the Alaska delegates work

Farmers Meeting.

The farmers meeting at the high
school auditorium last Saturday after
noon was well attended, and was the
means of bringing out many different
views as to the question Of present
market quotation and their relation TO
cost of production. The views Of the
various farmers as to the cost of pro-
ducing ton of alfalfa hay were vari-
ed and covered range of nearly $40
Therefore a committee with Geo. X.
Wilson as chairman was appointed to
make as exact an estimate as possible
of the cost and report at n future
meeting. An attempt was made later
by an imported attorney to turn the
meeting into a non-partisan league en-
dorsement. but this was not well re-
ceived and was dropped.

Oil Boom at Eads.

There has been great excitement
throughout this section over the news
that oil had been struck at the well
of the Allied Oil and Refining Co.
near Eads on the Missouri Pacific.
The company which is drilling is a
Las Animas concern but is backed also
by capitalists of Denver and Colorado
Springs. Owing to the fact that they
struck oil sand at much shallower
depth than they expected they were
not prepared to case off the flow of
water and see just what they had. Mr.
l.. G. Kurtz of Las Animas, general
of the company, is here and
has telegram that the casing has
now been shipped and the company
will soon be ready to go ahead with
the work. The company will soon
have local agent in the field here.
