AMERICAN EXPRESS
 IS CYST WAY TO SEND
 MONEY TO SOLDIERS

In a letter to his father, J. T Reed, Montgomery c. Reed in ser vice in hospital in France, advises one to send money to soldiers in France by American Express Drafts rather than by money orders. He says:
 Facilities for clearing foreign pa per has shown that American Ex- press drafts on Paris are the most easily converted into cash as local banks recognize this paper but are shy of all forms of money orders They evidently have experienced considerable difficulty in handling them
 In this letter he gave his father the first word he had had that an other son. Russell Reed, was in France. He is a sergeant in the Quartermaster' Department.
 He said also that George McClel land of Alaska, who is in the same unit as Mr Reed. has been made a corporal and put in charge of their canteen.

WHETHER DOCS

 CITY'S STREETS?
That Is the Question Which Is Agitating the Resi- dents of Anchorage
 at Present Time.

ANCHORAGE, Oct Whether dogs shall be allowed to roam the streets at will is an issue of trans cendent municipal importance in An chorage. It is under the grave con sideration of the Advisory Council recently elected to confer with the Alaskan Engineering Commission re
 ,arding the administration of the city's affairs. It perplexes the mem oers of the Council to the exclusion )f every other civic matter.
 Any place in the States where
 question is raised over the running Ut large of dogs, pigs and other live stock is regarded as progressing to- ward urban maturity, and when the
 ssue is resolved against the cows
 md pigs the community has merged from rural settlement into mod 3rn municipality.
 Anchorage is young in years, but
 she never possessed the physical frame of juvenility; she came into

In an incredibly brief time, the purchasers of the land erected store buildings and dwellings, Her destiny and the administration of her affairs were in accordance with modern municipal methods, di rected by the Alaskn Engineering Commission, which is constructing | he Government railroad.
 From the Inception of the town there were cows and pigs, but neith CT their owners nor the townsitt
 manager, who was appointed by tho | Commission, ever entertained for { moment the idea that the animals | could run at large-such a thought | in view of the modern status of tho
