JOE FARRELL WRITES HOME

Camp Lewis, October 20, 1918.
Dear Old Pal
Ireceived your most welcome let
ter today and was sure glad to hear
from you.
This life is sure great stuff to build
you up When ! came up here | only
weighed one hundred and fifty, now
weigh one hundred seventy-two and
the muscles of my body are just as
hard as iron.
OF course you do not pick up that
fast at home because your sleep and
meals are not regular. Up-here we
get up at the same time every morn.
ing, have our meals at regular hours,
have certain hours to work, certain
hours to rest and go to bed at nine
every night That is what counts
lot in building man up. Then we
get lots OF exercise which helps.
Mhen they run out of squads East
and West for us to do, we play all
kinds OF games and practice running
and wrestling
| don't understand how you got it
into your head that you are not help
| ing to win the war as much as | am
or any of the other boys in the army.
| What would we do if it were not for
you boys at home raising the crops
to feed US. Il all the boys at home
would quit working for year we
would all be kicked out of camp be-
| cause there would be nothing for us
TO eat. The folks at home should re-
member whenever they extend help
ing hand to assist the army with nee
esary needs, they are just as patriotic
as any OF us soldier boys because the
army cannot exist without their help.
Yes. Dick, | think | will get to
France because we have everything
for overseas duty now. We can't go
any too soon for yours truly. You
often said you thought | had nine
lives. II | had, Dick, would will
lingly give them all up for old u S. A.
if it were necessary.
We surely have some rifle practice
here. | got eighteen straight hits
the other day and got a cute little
gold medal for it.
Another thing | have learned here
is patience. | am general instructor
in truck driving and have given five
thousand men their first lesson in
truck driving in the last FIVE days and
rever lost my temper once, and let me
tell you, there are some awful bone
heads. o boy.
Wen. old pal, ! will close for now
and VIII write again soon.
As ever, your old pal,
Joe Farrell.

The overwhelming victory for the

since the boast OF the vets early in the

there must have been a change OF
sentiment or the dopester that handed

only precinct in which the measure
lost was Silver City.

MAIL ARRIVAL FROM
 FAIRBANKS UNCERTAIN

Up to a late hour this afternoon, the postal authorities at Fairbanks were unable to state definitely when the stage will leave for Nenana with the mails. It is thought, how ever, that Roy Lund will leave for Nenana tomorrow morning, in which case he will arrive in the quaran- tine camp Monday afternoon, and the mails for despatch will close at the Nenana postoffice at p. m. on Monday.
 The above arrangement is a ten tative one and is subject to change, the time of the closing of the mail depending entirely on the time the mail arrives in quarantine from Fairbanks.

FRANK SAGAR |S
 GRANDADDY NOW

Frank Sagar, we'll known oldtimer is going around town wearing a smile that won't come off, and the reason for it is that he received letter on the last mail which told him that he is now a granddaddy. The letter also contained a very little folding card with a baby pie ture on the fact of it and the word Hello. The inside page contained the following:
 I've got no teeth,
 Eve got no hair,
 And hardly any clo'es,
 But my folks say
 That they declare
 I'm sweeter than a rose. The little boy who has caused Frank so much joy is named Gordon Samuel, and was born on September first; his parents being Mir. and Mrs. B. c. Mccoy.
 MT. Mccoy is a merchant of Portland, and his wife is Frank Sagar's oldest daughter.

The ball of greater development
 and permanent prosperity for In-
 terior Alaska Was started rolling at a
 well attended meeting of the Ne
 mana Commercial club last night,
 when definite movement was launched for the establishment of
 government owned and operated
 central power plant with sufficient
 capacity to supply electric energy for the operation of the govern ment railroad and for the varied needs of the numerous mining dis tricts throughout the Interior coun- try. The club will advocate the establishment of such a plant in the Lignite country, where there is an inexhaustible supply of coal, so con veniently stored by nature as to insure minimum of cost for min ing, and committee of club mem bers will set about immediately gathering data for presentation to the department of the interior, thru the Alaskan Engineering commission, with the request that Congress be asked to make the necessary appro- priation
 w. A. Ryan addressed the meet ing in most encouraging vein, in forming the members of similar pro- jects undertaken by the government and operated successfully in the States. He expressed the belief that very little opposition would be encountered in securing a power plant for Interior Alaska, the main thing necessary being the proper presentation of data supporting the request. He pointed out that Sec retary Lane had taken in hand the development of Alaska through the construction of the government rail- road and in removing difficulties which have hampered progress in the North, and doubtless will assist with the power plant project with equal readiness when he is shown to what extent such an enterprise will speed the development of the Interioor country.
 Robert E. Burns, who is engaged in the development of coal prop erty in the Lignite country, and who ho1 made close study of the possibilities of the district to the south of Nenana, said that he had already gathered much data which would materially assist the club in presenting the request for a power plant. He expressed the belief that such plant would be of particular benefit to the Kantishna and Broad Pass districts, where there are many promising properties awaiting the opportunity to yield up their stores of riches. He thought, also, that in connection with the establishment of | power plant, the government would take in hand the treatment of the |

| coal, so as to make use of the many by-products. He suggested the possibility of operating the power plant with gas taken from the coal by the carbonizing process, and pointed out that the establishment of such an industry, along with the power plant, would be big thing for the Interior country.
 Chairman Mcdonald spoke of the many quartz properties of the Fair banks district. now unworked be- cause of the excessive cost of oper- ating them, chief of which is the cost of fuel for power. These pro- perties, he thought, and practically all of the placer outfits would use electric power supplied to them at reasonable cost by government power plant, and the result would be the immediate resumption of min
 ing throughout the Fairbanks dis trict. The use of coal, he believed, would help the situation some, but nothing short of cheap electric power would make possible the full development of the district.
 Other members of the club were equally enthusiastic and expressed themselves as being heartily in favor of taking the matter up immediately. Accordingly, committee consisting of w. A. Ryan, Fred'k D. Browne, Robert. E. Burns, E. L. Laughlin and R. G. Southworth was appointed to secure the necessary data in SUD- port of the movement and to make the request for government aid, through the Alaskan Engineering commission
 One of the first steps taken by this committee will be the presenta- tion of the power plant question to the Fairbanks Commercial club, with view to securing the CO., operation of that organization. Other towns within the area that will be served by the project will also be asked to give their support to the movement, and when the depart ment of the interior is approached for assistance, the request will have the backing of united Interior.
 The possibilities of such power plant as the Commercial club will seek to have established are prac- tically without limit. A plant oper- ating in the Lignite fields will bq capable of distributing electric energy over a vast area by means of transmission lines. This area might easily include thirty thous- and square miles, very large part of which area is known to contain mineral of value. The districts served would include the Broad Pass, Kantishna, Nenana, Fairbanks, up- per Panama, Tolovana, Hot Springs, a portion of the Kuskokwim, Ruby, Panama Rampant and Circle.
