had been for nearly four months,
visiting their son and brother Lieut..
Conrad Hanson of the regulars, who
has been stationed there for some
time, assisting in training National
army men. The Lieutenant expects
to be transferred soon to some other
point. Mr.. Hanson tells us his new
granddaughter, who arrived while he
was there, is fine blue eyed girl,
and he thought about the finest baby
he ever saw.
Mr. Hanson met fellow in Skagu-
way, and after telling him that he
come from DEBORAH, the. gentleman
enquired if he knew John Bradish.
He is an cid friend of Johns and
they haven't seen each other for 35

What Has Become of Him?

What has become of the old fash

neighboring town? We used to have
so many of those fellows who knew
just how much the local dealers were
SHINING" us, and they also knew
just how much more business was
being done in all the neighborin,g
towns around. Such statements now
would have to be verified to the food

al profits will now come in for dis
