THOMAS KINCE
 WELL ON ROAD
 TO SUNNY CAL.

Writing from Cordova, Thomas King. who left for the great Outside some time ago, gives information of interest concerning, that place and also of some former Fairbanksans who are at present at that town The letter. in part, is as follows:
 Well, have got this far; arrived here last Saturday, and which was long, hard, tiresome trip, taking IS days, and then on top of that have to stay here a week, waiting for a boat makes 1t an expensive trip. There are about 25 Fairbanks people here, some of which left Fair. banks 10 days before did, and we all arrived here at the same time We expect to get away Saturday or Sunday.
 There are quite few Fairbanks people around here. Red Kicker, who was in the fire hall, is here; he is going out digging clans. The clam diggers here make from $S to $10 a day.
 This town looks good to me; there are seven canneries here. right in the town. which means quite a pay roll.
 E. w. Griffin and several other oldtimers are just starting salting plant here for putting up salt fish of all kinds. Jack Alexander. who used to work for John Moe, just came up on the last boat and is go. ing to work for them.
 Jimmie Dolan has a barber shor here. Teddie Bailey is working here and is looking fine.
 Say. John. you can't get as good a meal out here as you get in the Model. There is no sugar on the counter, or cream. They put 1t in your coffee for you. and they say it is worse Outside. Well, we will see. Thirty-ave cents is as low as you can go here; hot cakes and coffee is 35c; sandwich and coffee is 35c. and the bread is awful "The little giant, Geo. Walker. went to work yesterday at his new job. This is a good house and does a good business, and think Bill Ter. Till has made a good buy.

TIME TO PLAN THAT GARDEN;
 SAVE THE FOOD

Now is the time to plan your Vic tory Garden. Get your pencil and paper and some seed catalogues and put your garden on paper. Draw diagram, representing the size and shape of the garden, the kinds of vegetables to bs grown. the position and amount of space to be allotted each, the distance apart of the rows, the approximate time of seed sowing or plant setting for each vegetable. War times call for maximum pro duction and elimination of waste. Therefore plan for companion and succession crops. Keep all the ground producing all the time. And above all, get good seed. Place your order at once.
 Of course. the people in your town are all good Americans. They all want to win the war. A great many of them have been obeying the in structions given in the matter of iOou SohoVi ny t' c' iooi administration and are now material ly reducing their consumption of food,
 Undoubtedly. though. there are Il large number who are not in pc sition to help the government by re- ducing food consumption. Their daily life is of necessity one of continu- ous saving and economy They want to help beat Germany, but perhaps il seems to good many of them that they haven't even mouthful of food to give upt even in this crisis.
 There is, however, one thing they can do which will help both their government and themselves: every. body who owns a back-lot can tend a little truck patch. PLANT A VIC TORY GARDEN.

WEEKLY REPORT SHOWSCREATER
 OBSERVATIONS

From the weekly report cards hand ed in to the secretary of the food conservation committee it is evident that the housewives are striving to be placed on the honor roll and have paid more attention to making out their reports than heretofore.
 While the number of reports has been gradually climbing during the month just past, there are some who will be disappointed by not having their names appear on the roll their cards having been handed in only for the latter part of the month. It was expressly stated that to be put on the honor list it was necessary for the reports to be hand ed in each and every week. Some only realized this after week or so had gone by. As it is there will be somewhere in the neighborhood of hundred that will not be placed thereon, as can be seen by com parison of the weekly reports handed in to the number of pledges signed.
 The total number of pledges signed was 430. Out of this number, there were only 313 reports handed in, leaving IF to be accounted for In the number of reports handed in 1t is noticed that there were reported 4,71S wheatless meals, 1862 meatless meals, 6,268 wasteless meals and 264 families reported saving on sugar. One thing that will be observed in the above figures is the fact that many have learned to conserve on the meat, on which the restrictions were removed for a period of thirty days.
 In next Sundays issue of The Citi- zen will appear the honor roll, and those whose names do not appear will know that the omission of their names was the result of their own negligence, and during the ensuing month they will have ample time to correct this fault.

S0URDOUCH IS
 AS0LDIER MAN

From far off Oklahoma letter was received in the last mail from Charles E. Lewis, who formerly re- sided in Fairbanks and other parts of interior Alaska. He is a member of Battery D. 12Sth Field Artillery, and is stationed at Camp Doniphan, Oklahoma.
 Lewis writes interestingly of his army life and details the routine of the day. which. according to him, is one thing after another. He expects to be sent overseas soon. as the boys were expecting to be equipped for foreign service. He wishes his best regards extended to all the boys in Fairbanks who remember him.

BOY SCOUTS IN PRESENT DRIVE
 EXCEED QUOTA

At the conclusion of the days work yesterday by the Boy Scouts en- gagged in the present drive it was found necessary to furnish them with a new clock, they having bust ed the one used as marker for the amount of subscriptions solicited by them.
 The amount that was expected to be raised by the boys was at first placed at $12.000. This amount was exceeded by several thousand dol lars the first day. and it was then found necessary to place the amount at a higher figure. $30.0OO.
 A meeting was held between the Scouts and the Scoutmaster Mon- day evening for the purpose of dis cussing the progress made and for the furthering of the drive. It is not know what matters were dis cussed, but they must have been something strenuous. for at the close of business yesterday it was an nounced that a new clock would have to be hung up, as the old one was broken all to pieces, the large amount of $35,400 being credited to their efforts.
 No information is available as to who is ahead in the race for the prizes, but it is certain that when the final day comes there will be some tall squirting on behalf of many to support their favorites.

BEAVER LAW IS
 NOW EXTENDED

What will probably be bad news to the trapper who contemplated catching beaver fur this year will be the information that the law pro. tecting this fur-bearing animal has been extended for five years more.
 The protective law. as originally passed, rendered the beaver immune from the trapper until November 1, 1918. Recent advices to Cal Town send, the fur warden. state that the time of protection has been extend. ed until November 1, 1923. It is de sired that trappers take due notice of the change in order to avoid any undue catching of beaver fur.

 MAY BE TAKEN AT ANY PLACE

Due to war conditions. the civil service commission has set aside cer- tain regulations pertaining to the taking of examinations by those wishing to do so. Previously it has been necessary for those applying for examination to be a resident of the state or territory in which the examination is held. This has been set aside. and now the applicant can appear at any place. regardless of residence. The ruling. as issued by the civil service commission. Is as follows:
 Washington. D. C.. April.-The United States civil service commits sion announces that on March 27, 1918, the President approved a joint resolution of congress suspending, during the period of the present war, the operation of the provision of the law which required applicants for civil service examinations to be examined in the state or territory in which they reside. During the period of the war. therefore. appli- cants for any examination held by the commission may be examined at any place at which the examina, tion is held. regardless of their place of residence.
 An act of July ?. 1909. required examinations to be taken in the state of residence. While this pro- visions is suspended for the period of the war, it is still required that only those who have been actually domiciled in the state or territory in which they reside for at least one year previous to the examination may become eligible for permanent ap- pointment to the apportioned depart mental service in Washington, D. c.
 "The commission expects this change to make it easier to obtain applicants for positions in Washing ton. Competent stenographers, typ. ists, and bookkeepers are in great demand. Examinations for these po- sitions are held weekly throughout the country. Representatives of the civil service commission at the post offices in all cities are furnishing de- tailed information and application blanks"

NEWSPAPERS IN
 PARIS VALUABLE

PARIS.-The birth rate of news papers was neven so high in Paris as since paper became scarce. Long established dailies have trouble in finding and paying for the news print paper needed for their reduced circulation, yet there seems to be paper for unlimited numbers of new sheets. Six new morning and three new evening papers have already come out during the war.
 They are edited mostly by mem bers of parliament and, being polite al organs more than newspapers. have less need of experienced news gatherers.
 With all these new publications springing into being there has de. veloped sort of a race to secure printing presses and material, and price. even for second hand install lations, have gone to fantastic fig ures. The owner of a paper that ceased publication at the beginning of the war sold his machinery and material to the founders of a new paper for 350,000 francs. Before pur- chasers were ready to produce their projected sheet, another combination offered them a million francs for the outfit. The first group took its profits and Is waiting for a chance to buy other material.

Captain Sco- bell acted as British vice consul and represented the American govern ment here throughout the Villa ac- tivities in this state. Once a mes senger was sent to his home from Villas headquarters. When Captain Scobell opened the door the man fired point blank at him, having been ordered to kill the acting American consul. During the entire seven years of revolution Captain Scobell remained at his post. He was a former British reserve officer and had a son in the British army in France.

ALASKAN SN0W
 CATTLE RAISER

From the mining game to raising cattle seems to be far cry from the regular trend of the north erner. but it Is noticeable that many have embarked in different lines of endeavor to that of hoisting the muck in search of the elusive pay streak.
 One of those who have recently departed from the beaten path of an Alaskan's method of gleaning shekels is F.. P. Short, who was for merly engaged in the mining game on Ester creek. Late information states that he has engaged in the cattle raising business at Winton. Saskatchewan, Canada. and is doing well. In all probability after long residence in the Northland he was willing to exchange the howl Of the dog for the lowing of cattle.
