 TOBER0UNDED
 UPSAYS BOARD

That the names of all of those registrants who are delinquent in the matter of returning their ques- tionnaires to the local board are soon to be handed to the police au- thorities with instructions to proceed with the arrest of said delinquents, is the statement that has been is- sued by the board. All of the ques- tionnaires of the 445 men registered within the jurisdiction of Local Board No. IT have now been sent out and, under the draft regulations, most of them should have been filled out and returned to the board before this time. Those who are not doing as is required by the regulations are being placed in the delinquent class, unless the distance of their residence from Fairbanks furnishes good reason why the questionnaire has not been returned.
 Most of the registrants are delin quent, however, for the reason that they have changed their home ad- dress since registering and their questionnaires have failed to reach them. This is not the fault of the board, but of the registrant, as all were instructed in case of changing their place of residence to notify the board But large number have failed to do SO, and for that reason their Questionnaires have been re- turned to the board by the postmast- CTS at places where the delinquent registrants were addressed.
 The following is list of those registrants to whom questionnaires were sent first and who are delin- quent chiefly for the reason that the questionnaires remain uncalled for, showing a change of residence on the part of the registrant:

Information received at the war office on yesterdays mail from the Outside is to the effect that two we'll known young Fairbanksans, Gil bert Ellis and Howard Logan, have been inducted into the army. Both chose the cavalry branch of the ser vice and have been sent to Fort Mcdowell, California, for training. Aside from the information received at the war office, which was of an official nature, numerous of the friends of both young men received communications from them, telling of their actions.

crete shipbuilding plants.
 Of this number, three plants will be located along the Gulf of Mexico, in easy reach of the Atlantic and near to the districts where great quantities of raw materials are To- cated and can be transported with. out interfering with transcontinental traffic or disarranging schedules of eastern roads. The other two will be located in the Pacific coast, where the industry is already in operation The sites of the plants have not been revealed. but it is believed that the Pacific coast plants will be located at Seattle and San Fran cisco.
 Following the recent launching of the first concrete vessel to be con- structed in the United States, Chair man Hurley asked that he be kept informed regarding sailing tests and other data. The announcement that the board will request a large ap. propriation now indicates that the tests have proven entirely satisfac- tory to the board. It is believed that the concrete ships will aid large ly in solving the shipping problems which have. held back the war prep arations of the government to a great extent.

OLDTIMER'S SON
 WRITES LETTER FROM TRENCHES

Charles Redmond. of Dawson, has received a newsy letter from his son. Ernest Redmond. of the Seven teenth Yukon Machine Gun company now in England. The letter, in part follows:
 "Witley Camp, Jan. 27, 191S.--Ro ceived your letter of December to- day. This is about the first Canadian mail we have had for some time It usually takes three or four days before we get it all, so expect some more tomorrow
 q received Christmas cards from several Dawson people, and am very thankful for the same.
 Tomorrow will be pay day, when we will get couple of pounds about nine dollars and a half, so we will all figure on feed anyway There is some talk of closing up most of the restaurants. They are already giving the boys on leave sugar. margarine and bread tickets
 Billy McCourt was here few days ago. He was on leave from France after being there six months. He was looking fine and said he never felt better He went over the top at Passchendaele, along with about a dozen other boys who used to be in our company He and two others were the only ones to get back. The rest were killed outright.
 Billy Elliott, who was looked upon as being almost too old for the army, has given us a surprise. He has been in France for about five months and has a sergeant's stripes and the Military Medal. We expect him down here any day One of the boys met him in London when on his way to Scotland.
 Jack Suttles is band sergeant at the Princess Pats reserve at Sea ford.
 Bobby Small was here a couple of days ago. He is bound for Cana. da in March on the invalided list.
 q expect Frankie Slavin and Pres colt Redmond over here on leave pretty soon. I've never seen Pres. colt, but he was here once to see me, when was at the ranges.
 q write to Frank right along, and have heard from Duncan Murray He's still in the hospital, and one of his legs Is about one inch short He was slightly gassed. stabbed by a bayonet and hit in the groin by an explosive bullet. Quite a dose wasn't 1t?
 I'm going to have a picture taken next week. I haven't had a decent one yet. It will cost only three oI four shillings for half dozen."

CHAMPION HAS
 BUSINESS HEAD

Jess Willard, holder of the heavy weight championship. will hence forth hail from Lawrence, Kan, where he recently purchased what has been termed an estate. Accord, ing to a local description of the property, the land and buildings from one of the show places of the section, consisting of fifty-two acres and a large residence of colonial type. One of the reasons assigned for the purchase of the place is said to be Willard's desire to send his five children to the local schools and, later. Lawrence university.
 From these statements it may be inferred that the conqueror of Jack Johnson is looking forward to the day when he will no longer reign as the premier pugilist of the uni verse Su. will occupy place among the staid business men of the sec. tion. Those who know Willard best do not hesitate to affirm that the present holder of the pugilistic crown will make his presence felt in a quiet way. He is without doubt the wealthiest of all the heavyweights and as he has the business insigh, necessary to retain. the money he accumulated since his Havana vic tory. it would not be surprising if Willard appeared in a new role with in the next few years.

LIVES THERE A
 MAN WITH SOUL
 so DEAD THAT?

Several weeks ago a notice was given to the press that the Red Cross. through the Woman's Bureau, was planning to collect and market salvage for the benefit of the yarn fund. Tungsten lamps, wool clip pings, tinfoil, gunny sacks. leadfoil. brass, rubber goods, aluminium. cop per and lead scraps, were asked for, both in Fairbanks and on the creeks. The statement was made that Los Angeles made as high as $1,3OO month for the Red Cross through it's salvage bureua.
 Word has just reached the Red Cross that some private party has taken advantage of this call and collected material that was being saved for the Red Cross. to sell for his own private gain. This act is so foreign to the spirit of the north, to the loyalty and splendid enthusi- asm of the people of Fairbanks in all generous forms of war work, that the officers of the Red Cross cannot believe that it is any one of ourselves who is thus trying to di- vert the gifts of the people to pri- vate gain. The revenue from the salvage would be clear gain to the yarn fund of the Red Cross, and would cost nobody cent More over, it would be a revenue that came from materials usually wasted
 There is no person in Fairbanks or this vicinity who wishes to sell for a few cents profit to himself, material that will help pay for wool to clothe our men in France. Mr.. Stein, the only dealer in Fairbanks who had previously realized the value of this material, has given the Red Cross his unqualified support and cooperation, sending the bureau valuable data from Seattle as to methods of disposing profitably of the salvage. The Red Cross does not know the name of the person who has made this attempt to di- vert its funds, nor does it care to know. Give your salvage only to accredited Red Cross representatives. Call phone 50 or 261B.

The following is progress re- citizenship night school at Nenana. This school was inaugurated the first of the year and has been doing good work for those who attended. To the Hon. Charles F. Bunnell,
 Judge U. s. District Court, Fourth
 Judicial Division, and ex-officio
 Superintendent Citizenship Night
 Schools, Fairbanks, Alaska.
 The Citizenship Night School of Nenana, Alaska, by it's instructor. begs to submit the following report:
 The fourth month school sessions of the above school ended on the 18th ultimo. The sessions consisted of twenty (20) school nights. and hours of instruction for each night varied from to 1-2 hours and more. There was an increase in enrolment over last month from 45 to 49 students, 46 men and 3 wo- men. Their ages ranged from 20 to 54 years. As the school was or ganized for 16 weeks or 60 sessions, the term was completed on March IS, 1918. The students represented following nations: Norway, 10; Rus sia, 10; Itaiy. 5; Austria. 3; Greece 2; Germany. g. Sweden, 3; Den mark, I; Canada. 2; Scotland. T.; Ireland. l; Bohemia l; Bulgaria, 1; Hungary. 1; Switzerland, |; Monte negro, 1; Finland. l; Americans, 3; eighteen different nationalities.

 Total, 45.
 Fourth month-Men. 46; Women, g.;
 Total, 49.
 The average monthly attendance was, men, 39; women, 3.
 And now I desire to respectfully submit the following observations : Early every fall a similar Citizen ship Night School should be orga. nized in Nenana with term of at least six (6) months duration. The Instructor or Instructress should be a teacher of much experience in the school room. carrying besides gen. eral, all around education of the busi- ness world. School books suitable for foreigners and other backward students. and there are now mum Der of such books published, should be selected and an ample supply on hand before the term opens. And no one is better fitted to make such book selections than our present Commissioner of Eudcation. Hon. L. D. Henderson. of Juneau. Alaska.
 In order to have such books on hand at commencement of term, they must reach this Interior Alaska be- fore navigation closes. To be com. pelled to make use of the ordinary public school books will tax the pa tience. ingenuity and resourcefulness

BARBETTINl IS
 IN CALIFORNIA

Word was recently received from A. Barbettini, who was formerly in business at Fox, in which he states that he is in California and located at Petaluma, the place where the eggs come from.
 The chicken industry, from his point of view, is nothing in Fair banks to what it is in California They turn them out of incubators there by the thousands. and it is a great sight to see the day-old chicks trying to make up to their wooden mothers. He is enjoying himself i'm mensely and after his long stay on the Outside is undecided whether he can forego the pleasures of the land of the egg and orange for those of the ice and snow.

 TOLOVANA BAD

Reports received from those who recently went to the Tolovana indi- cate that the trail from Olnes to that place is gone. A few who had ordered goods shipped to them from Fairbanks via that route have wired the local firms to either cancel or hold the orders. as 1t would be i'm possible for the freighters to guaran- tee the delivery of the goods with the trail in it's present condition.
 From the above statement 1t is obvious that the only method of getting goods into the Tolovana will be to wait until the water runs and then ship them by boa..

 Where a shillin's called a bit; Where at night the magpies twitter, Where the Injun fights were fit. Take me back where the sage is
 plenty;
 Where there's rattIesnakes and
 ticks; Where a stack of whites" costs
 twenty.
 Where they don't sell gilded bricks. Where the old Missouri river And the Yellowstone Nt Make green patches in the bad lands. Where old Sittin' Bull was known. Take me where there ain't no sub,
 ways,
 Nor no forty-story shacks; Where they shy at automobiles, Dudes, plug hats an three-rail
 tracks; Where the old sun-tanned prospect Dreams of wealth an pans his
 dirt. Where the sleepy night-herd puncher Sings to steers and plies his quirt Take me back where there's dia-
 mond hitches, Ropes an brands an cartridge
 belts: Where the boys wear chapps for
 brooches,
 Flannel shirts an Stetson felts. Land of alfalfa an copper! Land of sapphire an gold! Take me back to dear Montana, Let me die there when I'm old.
