DISH CLOTHS
 ARE REQUESTED

A request has gone forth to the housewives of Fairbanks for SUD- ply of dish cloths for the boys at Fort Gibbon. in the neighbOrhood of 800 are needed. At the present time the boys are eating out of their mess kits, and as they are required to clean them themselves the neces- sity is at once apparent. Two to the man are called for in the regula- tions, and as there are about 250 men the stated number will be needed.
 Those who have the required arti- cles to spare and wish to give them to the boys will please call up either Mrs. E. A. Suter or Mrs. Harry D.. Pratt, stating where they may be found, and the girls of Fairbanks, who have volunteered their services, will call and collect them. It is de- sired that they be in the hands of the above named ladies so that they may be shipped out on the next boat.

JACK BELL IS
 A CORPORAL

In the recent mail word was re- ceived concerning Jack Bell, son of Mrs. Arthur Bell, formerly of Fair banks. Jack is enlisted in the coast defense branch of the service and was for time stationed at Fort Lawton, near Seattle, during which time he underwent training and was later promoted to the rank of cor poral.
 The latest news about him is that he was transfc red to one of the posts near New York City. In re- lating his experiences there he says that the soldiers and sailors are having a splendid time, being vel comed by all classes of people, it being no uncommon sight to see an auto stop on the street and pick up a sailor or soldier and take him to his destination. All the enlisted men are heroes there and are having well deserved attention bestowed upon them.

DICK WARD TO
 BE ABDUCTED

NENANA, Aug. 1O-Receiving in. formation from his local board at Belleville, Kansas, yesterday that he was drafted, Richard B. Ward, who for the past three years has been connected with the commission, at once started making preparations to leave for Fort Gibbon, at which place he was ordered to report. The information was expected for some time past. and Mr. Ward has been making preparations accordingly. His successor, J. J. Kestley, is now on his way in from the coast. Until MT Ward has passed his physical eX- animation at the post no permanent successor will be assigned to the position occupied by him. Engineer Taylor will fill the duties of his office until such time as the out. come is certain.
 The commission has never had a more popular person in it's service than MT. Ward, and the entire force, from the laboring man to the highest official, feels keenly the- departure of one whom they esteem highly.

LAST PAYMENT
 IS DUE SOON

The last payment on the Third Liberty bonds will fall due on the fifteenth of this month, and at that time all those who purchased bonds on the instalment plan are expected to be prepared to take up their obligations. The payment amounts to forty per cent of the purchase price, and this, together with the accrued interest, will be due on that date.
 The banks have favored the pub lie by permitting them to purchase bonds by the instalment plan, and it has caused considerable outlay of money for them to do so, as they are liable for all purchases made through their agency. For the peo- pie to allow the bonds to lapse now would be to cause the returns from this district 10 be lower, also to cause the banks great inconvenience in the matter of adjusting affairs. Those who live at distance should notify the banks what course to pur- sue so as to leave no uncertainty.

EXCURSION TO
 ClBB0N TODAY

All is set for the excursion to Fort Gibbon on the steamer Tanana today. The hour for the departure of the boat is 2 o'clock, and at that time the final whistle will be given and the crowd will be off to visit the boys at the post town.
 It is probable that this will be the last opportunity that will be had to pay the boys visit, fol unless all indications fail they will be well on their way to the Outside within the next ten days.
 While the number of tickets pur chased last night was not large, it is probable that before the sailing time good number of Fairbanksans will be on board and also a small mum Der from the creeks. The Liberty orchestra will be on board and will provide music to while away the hours both going and coming. It is also probable that they will furnish the music for the dance at Gibbon Those who intend going should lose no time in securing their reserva tions, for it is possible that a mum Der will leave from Nenana and the chances of securing the choice of staterooms will not be so good if reservations are delayed.

.TOLOVANA WILL
 .BEDEPOPULATED

According to all reports the Tolo- vana district stands a good chance of being depopulated this winter. Since the war movement a great many of the young men of that sec. tion have gone Outside and entered the service. Others have left there for other camps and gone Outside also.
 The latest stampede to the outer world is that of the ladies of the camp. About fourteen of them are reported to be making preparations for leaving and spending the winter Outside. This will nearly deplete the camp of the gentler sex, and the miners there are looking ahead to very quiet winter socially.

NENANA MAN IS
 SERIOUSLY CUT

NENANA, Aug. 10.-A serious ac. cident happened here this afternoon which may result in the loss of an arm for Sam Dietrich. Dietrich re. gently came to Nenana from the Hot Springs district and went to work for the commission, being en. gagged with the wood saving crew.
 While engaged in his labors one of his arms came into contact with the swiftly revolving saw, nearly severing the member. The injured man was at once rushed to the hos pital and medical attention given. At late hour tonight the attending physicians are unable to state wheth- CT they will be able to save the in jured member or not. While here only short time, the injured man made a few friends, who are shocked at his misfortune.

MASCOT GIVEN
 GIBB0N CROWD
 ACKNOWLEDGED

That the bear cub sent to the boys from this district at Fort Gibbon as mascot arrived safely at it's destination is evidenced by the fol- lowing telegram received yesterday by Frank Wiseman, the donor: "F. Wiseman, Fairbanks.
 "On behalf of the entire company many thanks for that full-of-pep bear. Had our picture taken with him and he posed like one of us. A caretaker has been assigned him by Lieut.. Smith. We are sure grateful for him. Over the top for us. Yours.
 THE BOYS."
 Ever since the request of the boys was received for cub bear as a mascot everyone interested in the Fairbanks contingent was on the lookout to secure the desired arti- cle. Opportunity presented itself when the Williams brothers came to town with the cub, and no time was lost by MT. Wiseman in pur- chasing it for the boys. It has been named Fairbanks, and by it's cogno- men will be sure to place the boys with the public as to from whence they came.

GOVERNOR WILL
 ARRIVE TODAY

The Citizen last evening received telegram from Bob Sheldon at Me Carty stating that the Sheldon Gib son special was at that place and could be expected to arrive in Fair banks today. On board the special are Governor and Mrs. Thomas Riggs, Jr., and Dr. Martin, of the Geologi- cal survey. The trip is being made in fast time owing to the large itinerary of the governor. which in. cludes, besides Fairbanks, Nenana Seward and Anchorage.
 This is the governors first trip to the interior or to any part of Al. aska since his appointment. How long he will remain in the interior is not known. Many of his friends connected with the commission at Nenana and also of this town, will be pleased to meet Mr. Riggs.

SOLDIERS MAY LEAVE SHORTLY

From all appearances it seems as though the boys at Fort Gibbon will be leaving for the Outside shortly possibly within the next ten days News has been received which would seem to verify the statement. At the present time the boys are eating out of their mess kits, indicating that all of the table ware has been packed up awaiting the order for mobilization on the Outside. An. other indication was the telegram sent by Lieut.. Smith stating that the excursion that is being held to. day must be held before the seven. teenth or not at all. These and other facts all point to an early leaving.
 While it has been generally known on the coast that an army transport would call at the posts there about August 22 for. the enlisted men, to be taken to one of the cantonments, it was also stated that it would pro. ceed as far as Nome for the men from the interior.

The donations to the orphan fund are still coming in. Yesterday from an unexpected source donation was made that will keep an orphan for three months, John Strelic being the donor. The amount in the fund reported in yesterdays issue was in error to the amount of $16. Due to some misunderstanding in receiving the message the sum of $22 was ac- credited to one of the donors when the amount should have been only $6, making the fund $16 less than reported.

PERSONAL TAX
 MUST BE PAID

Acting on the authority vested in him by the city council, Chief of Police Wiseman is very busy thesc days collecting the delinquent per sonal taxes, many of which are due from last year. The matter of hay ing the tax money in the city cof- fers is an important one to the coun- cil, as many improvements have been made that will have to be paid for, and it is only by keeping up with the collections of the money duo from the taxpayers that the expense account can be met.
 Some objection has been made by few when paying their taxes, but the law on the matter is very clear Due notice will be given the delin- quents by the chief of police, and if within reasonable time the amount due is not paid the property so taxed is liable to seizure with an added expense for the service of the seizure papers.
