Alaska's big inland waterway, Yukon river, is believed to be the longest river on the North American continent, if not on the globe, with out bridge.
 The big river is over 2,100 miles long and from where it rises, back of Whitehorse, Y. T., to its mouth, near St. Michael, Alaska, it is not spanned.
 Bridges are unnecessary along the Yukon during the winter, for the dog and wagon trails along the shore cross on the ice when cross ings are necessary. In the summer small boats are used. At Dawson there is hand propelled ferry.

"UNDER TWO FLAGS"
 AT COLISEUM TOMORROW

The management of the Coliseum announce that it will, at the re- quest of their patrons, repeat the famous six-reel play which was shown on the night of Thanksgiving to a large and appreciative audience, tomorrow night.
 The play is based on Ouida's famous novel entitled Under Two Flags" and depicts the life story of titled Englisman, an officer of high rank in one of the most ex- elusive English regiments, who is forced by stress of circumstances to be fugitive from his own coun- try and enlist in a French regi, ment stationed in Algeria.
 Theda Bara is seen to advantage as Cigarette, who plays most important part in the scheme. Her unrequited love of Bertie Ceceil, to save whom she sacrifices her life, is a strong feature of the entire play
 The play is well worth seeing, as any one who saw it on Thanks giving night will testify. Feature prices will prevail for this show namely admission fifty cents, ant two-bits extra for reserved seats

NEWS RECEIVED OF
 ALASKAN SOLDIERS

only lasted few days, and his death was sure shock to the whole company. l was pretty sick for four days, had a fever of 104 de- grees for one or two days. Mike Meagher proved to be a real hero and the .possessor of a brave and noble heart.
 "The boys were all anxious to get into condition for service lover there, and all reported for drill the second day we were here, though a number of them should have been in the hospital. On the second day of drill they began to fall out of ranks and report to the hospital. As the days rolled by they fell out faster and went on sick report, and in few days there were 160 out of a total of lSS of Co. B. in the hospital. It was here that Meagher showed his worth and courage. He waited on the boys as they took l down with the dreaded disease long after he should have been in the hospital, and was source of com fort and cheer to all who went be- fore him, and when he finally gave in and went on sick report, his fever was raging at 104 degrees. He smiled as he left the barracks and remarked that he would be l back in few days. He was brave and fought hard to the last but his fever ran up to such temperature that no human being could with stand, and the poor boy was forced to make the supreme and final sac rifice only two days after being in the hospital.
 Excuse me if l seem to paint the scene a little darker than it should be- but to make it short, we are all downhearted; nineteen of our little company have paid the price and there are still about forty in the hospital with a slim chance of coming out. Jack Fallon, Smoky Phillips, the lad who barbered at Jamieson's shop, Billy Mellish and a few others are very, very bad.
 'Dick Ward has gone to the En- gineer Officers Training school and we have just had news that bunch of our boys are to be transferred to another outfit tomorrow, and among them are Art Denny and Ralph Darling.
 Most of the company will go out on the target range in few day: for three weeks instruction in tho art of killing. I have been out two days, made pretty good scores anc like it fine"

1t is obviously wise policy on
the part OF our military authorities
to encourage the German soldiers
allies to surrender. To that end,
the allies have been scrupulously
kind in iheir treatment OF Ger
man prisoners and they have car
ried word OF this kindness into the
German lines in every possible way
1t IS equally obvious that the Ger
man military authorities wish to
make their men fight to the death.
And it is for this purpose that
such stories as the above are in
vented by German agents and Cir
culated in Germany.
Moreover, it has become increas-
ngly evident that it is not merely
stories Of American atrocities that
are being invented by German
agents. They are inventing also
stories Of German atrocities and

PROHIBIT DRUGS.

The liquor interests are right in
maintaining that as liquor goes
out. dope comes in. That has
been the general experience in this
country. Restrictive drug laws
have lessensed the substitution, but
not changed the tendency. Men and
women with the alcohol habit, sud-
denly deprived of their alcohol,
lind strong temptation in habit
forming drugs. 1t is quite possible
that the recent growth OF prohibi
ton has created a renewed demand
for these deadly drugs, just at
time when state and national leg
islation had begun to make headway
against them.
But the remedy is not to fall back
on alcohol. That argument, while
understandable from the business
viewpoint OF the liquor men, is
wholly illogical Yielded to, it
would leave us with two great evils
instead OF one. The thing to do, of
course, is to abolish both.
Unquestionably, OF the two vices
drug addiction is worse than drink
ing. 1t has a more devastating ef-
feet on character, health and eff
cheney makes a stronger appeal to
its victims and it is harder to con-
luer While rejoicing, then, in the
approaching doom of strong drink,
he nation must recognize the new
menace, and insist on measures for
overcoming it.
Habit-forming drugs must be
placed beyond Gie reach OF any
nan, woman or child not entitled to
hem as medicine for the relief OF
'ain. The dope traffic must be
far more strongently, by
he state and federal governments
.cting together, with intelligent
nd uniform legislation. And those
lready in the grip Of the habit
hould be treated not as criminals .
n outcasts, but as sick folk, and
,iven curative treatment. /

working since they were live or six

as through the holidays, Many OF

such a state OF affairs is unthink-

Nevertheless, it behooveS every in
