FARGO ROSE
 VOLUNTEERS
 FOR SERVICE

One of those who has signed the rolls to go Outside to enlist when the Fairbanks contingent goes out is Fargo F. Rose, who pleaded guilty to not registering under the selective draft law. and was last week sen tenced to serve twenty days in the federal jail here.
 MT. Rose is volunteering of his own free will. and is in no way be- ing forced to join the service. and his action is certainly a commend able one. and goes to prove the theory of the district attorneys of. flee that Rose was sorry for his former unpatriotic act and wished to do all he could to show that he is real American. Ever since com. ing in and giving himself up volun- tarily as stacker, Mir. Rose has demonstrated that he was truly re- pentant, and that he wishes to make atonement for his failure to register.

ANNUAL TRYST
 LONELY AFFAIR

GRASS VALLEY, Cal, Dec. % At twelve o'clock noon on New Years day James c. Conway, retire q lumberman and former mayor oi Grass Valley, will alone keep the an nual tryst of the "Forty-Niners" al the corner of Main and Mill street here, agreed upon many years ago b! the diminishing clan. The agreemcn, was that all survivors in this vicinit of those who reached California in 1849 should gather at the time and place mentioned as long as one re mained.
 Two years ago Conway kept tho engagement alone, and last year ho was confined to his home by what was thought to be his last illness He recovered, however. and is now in good health at the age of 85 years.
 Conway left his home in New York state with the first news of the gold discovery in California. reaching San Francisco late in '49 by way of tho Isthmus of Panama. He came almost directly to this place, where he has resided continuously ever since. In crossing the isthmus the party with which Conway was travelling almost caused an international crisis by hanging out to dry consignment of American flags which got wet in the capsizing of boat.

FAIRBANKSANS
 WILL ATTEMPT T0CHANGE RULE

A concerted attempt is being made by the residents of Fairbanks to have the regulations providing that the local boys who want to go out to volunteer for military service go out at government expense put into force again. These orders were set aside day before yesterday in a wire received from the governor, and by this ruling a number of Fairbanks boys who had made every prepara tion to go out were forced to en. tirely change their plans.
 A number of those who wish to volunteer met yesterday afternoon and decided to get as many of the registered men as possible to sign up to go out, and that then some plan would be arranged to raise money enough from local sources to take the boys to the coast. If they can be taken to the coast. the gov ernment will pay their way to place of enlistment from there. A strenuous campaign will be carried on within the next few days, and the young men hope to raise con tingent of at least fifty men to go.
