MRS. ROBERTSON
 WON WOOD PILE

The two cords of wood generously donated by Robert Gum for the bene- fit of the orphan fund was drawn for last evening at Thorne's, the winning number being announced as PTS, which was held by Mrs. Robertson.
 The action of MT. Gum is praise worthy. and while wood is common commodity in this country, it has its value. The value in this instance was $77.00. which will permit two French orphans to enjoy life for one year. It is a source of great satisfac- tion to MT. Gum to know that by the efforts of one days work he gives life to two children for year. This money goes to renew the SUD- port for another year of the two orphans which were adopted last year through the same method. James Mcintyre, who prot the wood to town, also comes in for share of the credit, for, without the wood in town there would have been no raffle.

MAN CRUSHED
 TO DEATH BY
 MASS OF EARTH

NENANA, Dec. 27.-Shortly after four o'clock this afternoon Ivory St. Clair received such severe injuries from a mass of sliding earth that he died while being taken to the hospital.
 According to eye witnesses the ac. cident happened in the following manner: St. Clair with other men with whom he was engaged on a con- tract on the "Y" that is being put in across the river from the town, put in large blast in a hillside for the purpose of dislodging 1t. On going back to inspect the work everything seemed to be all right, when, with out warning. huge mass of earth which was loosened by the blast commenced to slide down. St. Clair made an effort to escape but his way was blocked by string of cars and he was compelled to run along the face of the sliding mass. He was over. taken before reaching safety and tons of earth and rock piled on top of him. Had the cars been out of the way he would have escaped.
 As quickly as possible he was ex- tricated from his position but the in juries he sustained caused his death before the hospital was reached.
 St. Clair at one time was employed by the c, R. & N. w. at Cordova and later conducted hotel at Chitina. He is survived by wife and son. Funeral arrangements will be an. nounced later.

 "Of course every one has to wear a flu mask out here and they are a hideous nuisance, especially when it is hot. The shows are open for the first time in long time today. Every. one is celebrating.
 Isn't it splendid that the war is over? l was awakened at 12:3O in the morning by explosions of all kinds, and as my window overlooks the newspaper office, l saw the an nouncements and all kinds ,ot colored light Of course, l knew right away that the war was over because they were expecting the message. l jump ed out of bed and looked out of the window. Every window in the house had bunch of heads poked out girls in their nightgowns. They call ed me down and we cheered and made all kinds of noise, waking every one up, then we decided to go down town. We put red, white and blue caps on and dressed double quick time. In about fifteen minutes the town was crowded and every one yelling, ringing bells of all kinds, and beating on tin cans of every description.
 We joined in the parade and stay ed out until three o'clock, then came home and made noises of all kinds, played the piano and danced and sang. Then we went to bed.
 "The next day was a celebration every one was out. there was no work of any kind"
