QUAY COUNTY BOY DIES

Ben l.. Rocket, a soldier boy from
Quay county, died two weeks ago at
Camp Kearny, Calf. His remains
were shipped to his former home in
Louisiana for burial.
Mr.. Rocket was "a years old and

tracted pneumonia and died.
Last Sunday his many friends at
Forrest held a memorial service in
his honor and a large Of
Borrowing friends were present to pay
their last respects to this gallant young
man who gave his life for a cause
that many other young men are fight
ing for. The services were conducted
by Mr.. Welch and he was ably assist
ed by a number of others who spoke
on subjects pertaining to the var and
why we are in war and paying high
tribute to young Rocket for his man
illness and patriotism which caused
him to offer his life to the govern
ment for the protection of the par
ents who brought him into the world,
and for those who have remained at
home to keep he good old United
States free from would-be despoilers

toward better roads-House Pioneer
News.
The above is mostly correct but the
commissioners are levying an extra
road tax this year which will allow
the county road commissioner to re-
pair u number Of bad pieces Of read.
II is understood that good work is be-
ing done on a road down the Cap Rock
near Ina. The Logan bridge is an
other improvement promised during
this year. This will join the towns
up that way with the county seat. 1t
is thought n good road will be made
between Tucumcari and the Ragland
cap. All the good roads possible to
build will be constructed as quickly as
possible, but The Ozark Trails is rec
ognized by the government as an i'm
portant piece of roadway. The tour
list will enjoy it and the government
may have urgent use for same.

NO PEACE IN SIGHT

During his wars, Napoleon Bona
parte, from time to time made offers
of peace to his enemies, particularly
Great Britain. All other nations made
peace with the Corsican, but England
never was fooled by him for a moment
All nations were against him when
the end came at Waterloo. England
fought him for twenty years, but she
freed the world from a disturber final
ly.
Germany is in the same position.
She wants peace, because her re-
sources of men and material are being
exhausted, her people are suffering
from hunger and cold, her railroads
have become inefficient for lack of roll
ing stock and laborers to keep up the
roadbeds. She wants peace to avert
disaster which must inevitably come,
IT her enemies persist.
England never will make peace on
any terms stated by the kaiser, until
the terms offered include reparation
for Belgium and Serbia and insures
safety for the peace of the world. 1t
is E%ngland's view that Germany must
be punished for her sins. The punish
ment must be enough for the Germans
to recognize it as punishment. 1t
must not be made the kaiser's arms
are triumphant. There must be de.
feat and distress.
The president of the United States
has declared that this country neve,
will make peace with the kaiser. Wher
peace comes it must be through nego.
tiations with representatives of a par
liamentary governmental govern
ment responsible to the will of tn,
German people, not a government ere
ated by the will Of the kaiser and re
sponsible to him for its existence.
This country is slow in its prepar
ations, but in the course of time mel
who do not know how will be replace,
by men of ability to think and act, an,

European fronts.
England may be annoyed by the sub
marines, but she is in no danger o
having her supplies cut off or eve
seriously hampered. Word from he
alley, France, is that there shall b
no peace until Alsace-Lorraine ia re

because of American discrimination
in favor Of Austrian as against Ger
man enemy aliens, has been kept from
us by the censors. But the chorus
of approval from our press, Hungar-
ian rhapsodies of gratitude from Mag
var journals here, and eloquent thanks
from spokesman for the various Aus
tro-Hungarian peoples, now so numer-
Gus on our shores. have been heard and
inaudibly appreciated at Washington.
One fear that stood in the way of a
war declaration against Australian
gary was it seemed to involve dras-
tic action against Austro-H Hungarian
subjects, of whom thousands were nee
essary to our war work, loyal to
ideals and openly or at heart anti
Hapsburg.
President Wilson has found a way
out, with u skill which is duly acknowl-
edged by our press. He called lI
war upon the ~"vassal" government of
Austria Hungary as sharing the guilt
of its German partner in the crime
against civilization. But in his formal
war proclamation the president care
fully parted the goats of German
nationality from the sheep who owed
allegiance to the Hapsburg kaiser; the
former are subjects to the oprations
of our drastic alien enemy law, the
latter are not even called allen ne
miles," and are practically free from
restraint so long as they keep from
wrong doing.
That is, a Washington press CORE
spondent explains, Austro-Hungarian
subjects "need not register, are not
barred from the 100 ard zones about
piers, docks, and warehouses, and are
not required to leave the District of
columbia" They can not, however,
enter or leave the United States with
out permits.
The governments attitude is thus
expressed in a statement issued by
the department of justice:
MANY subjects of Austro-Hun'
garian have already demonstrated
their strong loyalty to this country
b. their faithfulness in industrial work
their organization or recruiting com
mittees, and in serving with our armies
For the present, therefore. no ~restric'
lions will be placed upon the nov
ments of subjects of Austro-Hungary
They are not subjects to the r%estric'
tions of the previous proclamation
relating to German enemy aliens
they will be permitted to reside anC
: labor in prohibited areas and to ira
! vel freely without molestation, Onl!
! those who are dangerous or disloya
! are subject TO arrest"

COAL SHIPMENT REACHES TOWN;;
 WILL BE TESTED
First Shipment of Coal From Billy Lynn's Mine Reached Town
 Late Last Night.

The first shipment of coal to be received by the Alaskan Engineering commission for testing purposes, was brought into town last night, and it is expected that it will thoroughly tested.
 The coal was mined by W. J. Lynn close to the right of way at the 29th mile post south of town and is said to be of very good quality and suitable for use on the loco motives.
 It is not definitely known just when the coal will be tested out, or whether it will be tested on the locomotive or the boiler at the power plant.
 The extensive use of this fuel by the Commission will depend largely on the results of the tests which will take place shortly. The result of the test will be eagerly looked for ward to by everybody interested in Nenana and the development of the coal mining industry.

 Householders and business houses where water systems are installed should see to the protection of the pipes leading into their buildings.

STEEL REACHES PRESIDENCY NO Z ON NEW ) LINE
T-ain Service Is Now Established Between Town and Engineering
 Comp No. 400.

The steel gangs quit work Sunday night when they had reached Sta tion No. 1S77S on the D line, dis tance of nine miles from the switch on the old location near Fish creek. The entire length of the D line from where it branches off from the old location to near the through cut near Bartlett's old camp, where it joined on to the old line again, is approximately twenty-one miles. Immediately after crossing Glacier creek, a partly completed section
 of the grade was encountered and the work of laying the steel was re- tarded somewhat by reason of the fact that the grade here was high and did not have sufficient surface to permit of the work being done as rapidly as usual the material in
 its construction was also of poor
 quality.
 This awkward stretch of the road, however, has now been got over and the finished grade, for some distance beyond is in good shape for the rapid continuance of the work.
 The steel gang commenced work this morning at a point about 26O0 i feet beyond the bridge spanning Glacier creek, and Superintendent Packer states that for some distance, at least the work of extending the road will proceed very rapidly, as the finished grade will permit of the use of steel cars with the new
 bracket attachments and the men will have plenty of room on the grade to handle the rails from the brackets. From the point on the D line reached by the rails yesterday a wagon road connects with the old wagon road running to the Com mission camps at 35-mile and be- yond and a station and platform will be built here for the handling of freight destined to these camps. This eliminates Clear creek and Lost Slough entirely and the ferries established at these points for freighting purposes will be discon- tinued immediately.
 The engineering camp at Resi- dency ?, under the supervision of Resident Engineer Hawley w. Sterl- ing can now be reached by rail.
