RED CROSS DRIVE
IS BECOMING A
REAL RUNAWAY
PATAGONIA BOLTS THE
TRACK VERY FIRST DAY
Allotted $500, Collects $500;
City Gathered $1,331; Other
Points to Hear From.

The Red Cross drive is devel-
oping into a runaway. Santa
Cruz county's quota was more
than half collected the very first
day, Nogales took in over "A per
cent of her allotment, while
cocky little Patagonia, up among
the mountains, capped the eli
max by announcing that, not
content with leading the race,
she had collected 33 1-3 per cent
more than her allOtment-$800
being taken in as the result of
the first days work, while her
portion was only $500. Just like
that!
Some record for Patagonia!
Once more Santa Cruz has JUS
titled herself as being one of the
most patriotic spots in all the
|great United States. And little
Patagonia is entitled to carry
the banner at the head of the
parade.
At this rate, the Red Cross
drive will be a really greater
achievement than the Third Lib
erty Loan campaign.
"Great-it was great!" said
Bracey Curtis, who has charge
of the work Of soliciting contri-
buttons to the fund. II am
proud of the people of Noga1es
and Santa Cruz county,"
However, there will be no let
up in the activities of the COM
mittee in charge, and while
speed is up, the drive will be
pushed for a fast and victorious
finish in the shortest time pos
sible.
Nogales collected 1881 of its

the $500 from Patagonia,
makes $2,131 of the $40

Final settlement of the Yaqui
question, the colonization of
100000 to 100000 acres of land
in the Yaqui and Mayo river
valleys, and the Inauguration of
a comprehensive plan for the
construction of a state system of
improved highways at an annual
expenditure of over half a mil
lion dollars, are the momentous
plans which have taken shape III
the country to the south, q
which will be carried out by
authorities of the commonwealth
of Sonora.
Senor Astolfo R. Cardenas,
member of the congress of Son-
ora, in an interview with rep
resentative of The Oasis last
evening, gave out the foregoing
information, with much of the
detailed data which follows.
The settlement of the YaQui
question has come about through
the efforts of Gen. Plutarco
Elias Gales, military command
ant of the district, and the az
rangement promises to settle
permanently one of the greatest
obstacles to the developmnt OF
one of the richest sections of
northwest Mexico.
Briefly, the campaign recently
conducted by General Gale:
against the "broncos," OF rebe..
lious Yaquis, has resulted
terms of peace being agreed
by the unruly element of
tribe, whereby they will return
to the Yaqui delta and take up
their residence upon the land;
allotted to them under the treaty
of 1897.
A strong military force will be
maintained in their vicinity, and
Gordon of troops will be estab-
lished around the reservation, to
protect the Indians and to pre-
vent any of them who might at
any time feel disposed to resu0
hostilities from leaving the res
ervation.
This disposal of the YaQui
menace makes possible the great
project of settlement of the fer
tile lands of the Mayo and Yaqui
river valleys. Between 200,00'
and 100000 acres of the finest
agricultural land in Sonora are
located in these valleys, al
have never been taken up.
General Gales leaves for Mex
leo City this morning to confer
with the federal authorities re-
garding the details for the col

WATER SYSTEM
NEARLY READY;
REPAIRS MADE
Townsite Manager Grigg Assures
Commercial Club That Water
Will Soon Be Available.

That practically all the repairs
needed to put the Nenana water
mains in condition for use have now
been made and that the system will
be in general operation within the
next few days, was the reassuring
statement made by Townsite Man
ager w. H. Grigg, at a meeting of
the Nenana Commercial club held
last night.
Since taking over the manage
ment of townsite affairs, Mayor
Grigg has been very active in getting
the water mains in shape, and hopes
to be able to superintend the final
tests before turning the system over
to his successor tomorrow. When
tests were made some time ago, it
was found that number of joints
leaked, due to a settling of the pipes,
which were laid hastily a year ago
after the ground had frozen. Where
ever needed, the joints have been
raised and calked and it is expected
that this repair work will have been
completed by tonight, in which event
the mains will be filled and steady
pressure maintained throughout the
winter, sufficient for domestic needs.
And there will be ample reserve
water and pressure for use in case
Of fire.
The rates to be charged water
consumers have not yet been decided
upon, but it was the opinion of both
Mayor Grigg and Mr.. Joseph, who
will assume charge of townsite affairs
on September first, that the charges
will be satisfactorily low.
Aside from the discussion of the
water question, which has been be-
fore the club from time to time
since the laying of the mains last
fall, there was little done at the
meeting. Secretary Joseph read a
letter from the Fairbanks CONNER
cial club, in reply to communica-
ton sent by the local organization,
indicating that there is considerable
activity in the upper town with re-
lation to the gold bonus campaign.
The Fairbanks club is seeking to
have gold miners of draft age placed
in deferred classification as an addi-
tional aid to the industry in the
North.
The local club already has in
dorsed the gold bonus plan, both in
letters to the delegate and to prom
inent mining men of the nearby gold
mining districts, the latter having
been urged to give their support to
the movement inaugurated in con-
gross by Delegate Sulzer.
The meeting last night was the
first held by the club in the new
quarters in the Ball & Thomas barber
shop.

PROMPT ACTION
At CAFE BLAZE
SAVES BUILDING
Serious Fire At Tavern Cafe Last
Night Promptly Put Under
Control; Damage Slight.

Shortly after midnight yesterday
Nenanaites were aroused from their
slumbers by the ringing of the fire
bell and the sounding of the fire
alarm by the whistle at the Com
mission power plant. The response
was immediate and the fire, which
broke out at the Tavern Cafe and
threatened to spread was soon under
control.
Sam Comfort, who happened to be
in the Nenana Club building at the
back of the Tavern Cafe, first saw
smoke issuing in large quantity from
the neighborhood of the stairway
leading to the club rooms and gave
the alarm, which was passed along,
and Andy Hoey, of the Terminal.
called up central at the telephone
exchange and passed it on to the
Commission people. The citizens
who had gathered on first hearing
the alarm made rush for the city
fire hall and soon had the chemical
at the scene of the fire, and this was
followed short time afterward by
the Commission chemical.
Several lengths of fire hose were
also brought to the scene and COUP
led on to the fire hydrant at the
rear of the Arctic building, but for
tunately it did not become neces-
sary to use the water
All of the hand chemicals in the
nearby hotels and business houses
were requisitioned and welded by
; willing hands, and reinforced by the
big chemical soon had the fire out.
, The cause of the fire has not been
definitely ascertained, but it is
thought that it originated from the
bake oven of the Tavern. TIE oven
will be taken down today to allow
of a thorough examination being
made. The damage done by the fire
was slight, though all the pastry
and bread that had been baked and
the dough, etc., that had been pre-
pared was damaged and had to be
thrown away; the partition between
the bake oven and the stairway lead
ing up to the club rooms was partly
cut through and much of it was
charred. Mr.. Rodigkeit estimates
the damage sustained by him to be
about $50
/ Almost the entire second floor was
filled with a dense mass of smoke
making it extremely difficult for
the few men up there to locate a
fire, and as precautionary measure,
the hose leading from the chemical
was turned on everything hides
criminately in the smoke-filled apart
ments Immediately above and close
to the seat of the fire near the
bake oven.
Beyond badly scorched and some
what burned portion of the wall be-
tween the bake oven and the stair
way to the rear, the building was
practically untouched. The furni-
ture and fixtures of the Nenana
Club suffered some from water and
one window in DR.. Bowen's office
was broken.
Mrs. Bowen who was in her apart
ments on the second floor of the
building when the fire broke out,
was helped to safety through the
smoke laden corridors by Joe Burns
of the Coliseum, who was one of
the first on the scene.

A Million Insured.

At the close Of Wednesday,
February l3, over 100000 sol.
dlers and sailors and Army and

ernment insurance under the
soldier and sailor insurance law.
The amount of insurance ap-
Piled for is more than $S,000,-
100000 The maximum permit
ted to any person Is $40 600, and
the average applied for is 1922.
There are many applications
mailed from distant points which
have not yetreached the Treasury
Department. The above figures
are only of applications that have
been actually received and grant.
cd
Tie amount Of Government IN.

three tines as much as the total

with any life insurance Company
in the world.
The splendid result which
gives to more than a million Of
the soldiers and sailors Of our
country the benefits of this IN
surance, which Secretary Nc
Adoo has justly described as the
most just and humane provision
ever made by any Government
for it's fighting men, Is due to the
quick appreciation by the bene-

ance and the invaluable aid
patriotically given to the War

Treasury by the press of the
country, the officers of the Army
and Navy, and many of the indl-
