RAILWAY TO AID OPERATORS IN
 VALDEZ CREEK

| C. w. Norton, who located on Lucky Gulch, pup of Valdez creek, in 1913, upon which he struck the paystreak last year, recently left on a trip to the States, but is expected back in Cordova the latter part of June, and he will go to his property via the Chitina-Fairbanks trail, leaving it at the Myers roadhouse and going across country to the mouth of Valdez crock.
 The most important agent in re- tarding the development of the Val dez creek mining country is the ex- istence of inadequate transportation facilities, said MT. Norton in speaking of the mining conditions generally of the Broad Pass country. Supplies and provisions have been brought into the Valdez creek district at an aver age cost of 25 cents per pound and are transported over the winter trail from Copper Center via Gulkana and McLaren rivers to the mouth of Val dez creek. The construction of the government railroad, continued Mr. Norton, through to the Broad Pass will reduce the transportation charges to at least cents per pound, and will enable many of the small operators to begin active development work on their claims. The distance between the pass and the mouth of Valdez creek is about fifty miles, as against one hundred and seventy over the trail from Gulkana
 The Valdez Creek Placer Mines Company, the biggest operator in the district, is located on Valdez creek, about half a mile above it's mouth. TWO summers ago the company en- ployed force of fifty-five men throughout the season, and last sum- mer employed about thirty. While the plans of the company are not known as yet for this summers work, 1t is expected that substantial work will be done on it's properties. Pre- vious to the company's acquisition of the ground, in 1913, more than a hun dred thousand dollars had been taken out by individuals. During the five years the company has taken out $13O,OOO. With additional equipment and lower cost of getting supplies on the ground the output of the mine will be more than doubled, said MT. Norton.

Movies Will Spread
American Ideals

The motion picture screen will
be utilized extensively during the
winter to spread the gospel of
Americanization among foreign
born residents.
In conjunction with the citizen
ship classes established in public
schools of cities in every part of
the United States, under the direc-
tion of Raymond F. Crist, Deputy
Commissioner of Naturalization,
the film will furnish object lessons
of nature to show the value of
American citizenship.
Already about seventy-five large
public school centres in the coun-
try are equipped with motion pic
ture apparatus, and this number is
susceptible of an almost indefinite
increase. The cooperation of local
authorities with the Bureau OF
Naturalization will make possible
the purchase of apparatus in many
places, and in other places port
able equipment can be obtained
from time to time.

Wavs Of Wasting Fat.

To "eat fat Just to save it' Is as
unwise as 1t is difficult. A small piece
of bread left on plate can be eaten
to save It from ending its days In the
garbage can, but fat Is not so easily
and judiciously saved from waste.
The Food Administration points out
that all the many ways Of wasting fat
should be thoughtfully avoided by the
housewife.
Do you waste fat in any Of these
ways?
BY serving baked ham with large
portions Of fat on the edge.
BY throwing away fat trimmed from
beef and other fresh meat.
BY serving large butter or margar.
Inc balls to each person.
BY using heavy cream.
BY frying food in deep fat;
BY frying food when 1t would be
as well or better to bake or stew 1t.
BY making pies or other pastries
when simpler desserts would be more
nourishing.
Think it over, and see that these
sins are wiped off your slate.

How Foch Saved Calais
and Baked the Hun

Baked at the Marine, the Ger
man war lords turned their atten-
ton to the channel ports on the
French coast. Calais lay directly
across the Channel from England.
If they could capture Calais, Eng
land would have to send troops in
ships down the other side of the
French coast. The U-boats would
have better chance to sink trans
ports and drown men like rats.
Foch was shifted to the threat
ened zone, says William Heyliger
in the current issue of Boys Life.
1t was race to see who would get
to the coast first, the Germans or
the French. At Ypres Foch found
himself in advance of the German
flood. With the same fearlessness
that had distinguished him on the
Marine, he threw out his forces and
attacked. 1t was on the eve of this
battle that he asked the army
chaplain to pray-saying that he
had put all his trust in God. And
on the morrow the German flood
broke and Calais was saved.
At Dixmude, in the early days of
the war, after the Germans had
been reinforced and it seemed that
the French must retreat to the
Somme River, it was Foch who
ordered his soldiers to open the
sluices of that low country after
his own men had taken high
ground. The land was flooded and
the German cannons were begged
That stroke of the French general
spread CONSERVATION in the Hun
ranks for the time and the flooded
landscape presented an impassable
barrier. The water that Foch and

To bring before the American peo-
pie In forcible manner the need TOT
saving food and sharing 1t with the
allies and liberated nations, the Food
Administration has named December
II as Conservation Week. Conser-
vation is vital to the relief Of strick-
en- Europe. Our harvest season has
come and gone and whatever food Is
exported must come from our surplus
and from our savings, very largely
the latter. Certain foods such as
meats fats and dairy products, 1t II
true, are produced throughout the
year, but even these depend largely
on feeds and fodder, supplies Of
which are limited and connot be re-
plenished until another harvest.
The original pledge made by the
Food Administration in behalf Of the
people of the United States was 17h
million tons Of food to be shipped
overseas by July 1, 1919. Ihs
amount Of food is 30 per cent greater
than last year With Belgium ana
France liberated and millions IN
South Central Europe clamoring for
food, the United States Is now under
taking to Increase its exports from
TN to 20 million tons. The Medl-
terranean Sea routes are now sum-
ciently safe for bringing wheat from
India and Australia, hence our exports
will consist largely Of fats, meats and
feed. Feed is essential for milk pro-
duction Of which the stricken ma
tions are in critical need.
| Conservation week as planned Will
include message from Mr. Hoover to
the people through churches, fraternal
bodies, clubs, schools, posters, WIN
dow displays and the press. An effort
will be made to warn Of the serious
results abroad II we fail to heed the
requests for continued conservation.
Food we are reminded is the only eff
fective weapon with which to combat
| famine still threatening hungry mil
lions. And never has there been so
great an opportunity for women and
children as we'll as men to show their
true spirit Of democracy In sending
relief by daily acts of food saving.
Conservation week is Intended also
to impress upon every one that STOP
ping hostilities or even the ultimate
signing of peace terms produces nc
extra food and that human lives will
continue to be sacrificed unless food
is saved In this country and properly
distributed among those who have
pitifully little or none.

WORKMAN'S CHIEF
IDEAL HIS TRADE
Industrial Education Expert
Discusses Short Courses

In a discussion relative to the
possible benefits derived by stu
dents from the short term courses
instituted by the government in
certain designated colleges, j. P.
Ryan, Professor of Industrial Edu-
cation, reviewed the deficiencies
and the good points of the aver
age machinist. He said with refer
ence to the requisites for becom-
ing master workman:
In order to appreciate a trade
and to enjoy working in it per-
son must feel that he has the
potentialities of becoming a mas
ter workman; he must be above the
point where poor or no instruction
from the foreman can hold him
down; he must understand not
only his own particular task, but
also, in some degree, the work be-
ing done about him. Thus will be
promoted an interest in the prob
IelHS IWIllCIl GllC CIdSo 10 ooiFlll 3
While the average machinist is
quick to grasp practical ideas he
lacks the foundation necessary to
retain his interest and to inspire
the desire to study the activities
of the shop. In order to produce
efficiency and harmony it is imper-
ative that; the workman's chief
ideal should be not his pay but his
trade.
1t is possible in the eight weeks
allotted to- contingent to give an
experienced machinist a fairly
sound foundation upon which to
work, provided the course is prop
erly arranged and the teaching
force adequate. When, however,
as was illustrated at Delaware
College, some of the mechanics are
experienced in only one or two op-
erations on the lathe or shaper
sixteen weeks in the machine shop
and mathematics should be con-
sidered requisite for developing a
proper basis for future efficiency

Don't Waste Canned Goods,

This was seen recently on the pam
try shelves Of q patriotic but thought
less woman: One Quart can with
about cupful Of chow chow in it, no
longer fit to eat, and one Jelly glass
with a few spoonfuls Of jelly left to
dry up and be wasted Are they on
yo'lr pantry shelf?
This may have been a common
sight few years ago when all ate
what we wanted and threw the rest
out. but now when every spoonful Of
food must be put to use to save hua
manity, not even drop of Jelly can
be wasted.
The housekeeper argues that she
canned so much fruit and vegetables,
she Just couldn't find enough pint
cans and small jelly and jam glasses
Her family is so small they grow tir-
ed of one kind Of chow chow, or sauce
or vegetable, before the can Is used
up, and just a little--a very little
Is wasted each time.
Here are few hints that will help.
Because your, family is small you will
undoubtedly open the pint cans first.
This will leave small empty cans in
which you can recan any left over
fruit or vegetable you think your
family will tire Of before 1t is used
