STEEL IS MOVING
 STEADILY TOWARD
 THE COAL FIELDS

The big 1900 foot trestle across Lost slough has been completed and the piledriver has been sent on to bridge 21, about mile farther up the grade. Stringers and caps are being rapidly added to the big trestle and it is expected that steel will soon be laid over the structure. When Lost slough has been crossed, it is expected that the laying of steel towards Nenana Crossing (43 Mile) will progress very rapidly, as everything is in readiness to receive the rails.
 At Nenana Crossing (43 Mile) preparations are under way for the driving of piles for the big bridge that will span the river at this point. According to the present plans of the commission, this bridge, with the trestle approaches, is to be 768 feet in length. The trestle ap- proach at the south end will be com posed of 31 twelve-foot spans and that at the north end of IF twelve foot spans, with 8 twenty-four-foot spans in the center. The big pile driver, with all the necessary parts and gear, is now on the spot ready for assembling. A portion of the piling necessary for this work is be- ing hauled from the neighborhood of Camp 9 (2O Mile) while the rest of it has been arranged for by con tract with Charles Wagner & Co.,, and they have already made delivery of some of it.
 Flood waters have again inter- fered considerably with tracklaying operations, and the cold snap of the last two days has been quite set back in the progress of the work. A large quantity of ice had to be cut away and removed from the right of way to allow of the crib ping to be put in and the rails laid in place. The floods have regla- ciered all this region and the work of stripping ice off the grade has to be done over again. A ditch has been cut through the ice in an at creek, and if this project succeeds creek, adn if this project succeeds it will be of the greatest assistance to the tracklaying and surfacing crews. A great quantity of bridge timbers, ties, caps and piling which is needed for the continuance of railroad building, has been glaciered in, and the work of salvaging this material is proceeding very satis- factorily.
 When the track has been com pleted to the Crossing and train ser vice established Nenana will then be in a position to make use of the coal from the Lignite fields. These coal fields are about ten miles up stream from the Crossing, and the building of a wagon road to connect with the railroad until the Lignite branch has been built, will not be a very difficult or expensive matter.

NEW REGULATIONS
 FOR FOOD IN FORCE

The food saving rules recently adopted by the local council of de- fense were reconsidered at meet ing of the council held on Thursday evening, and new schedule of sav- ing days decided upon.
 The observance of sugarless and butterless days was ordered discon- tinued, but strict economy was urged in the use of these two foods. Par ticular attention was called to the importance of stirring thoroughly such sugar as is used in tea and coffee.
 It was decided tt ask the ladies to again circulate pledge cards among the people of Nenana. Mrs. F. s. Ryus was named chairman of the pledge committee, with power to ap- point such assistants as she may deem necessary. The cards are to be placed in every home, the signers to mail them to Food Administrator Cramer at the end of each week. Persons refusing to sign the cards are to be reported to the authori- ties at Washington.
 The dog nuisance also was dis cussed at considerable length during the meeting and it was the opinion of those Iresent that all homeless dogs should be killed, the argument being that the animals not only menace the lives of children but also are a needless drain upon '' e cor1- munity's food supplies. It was voted to appoint a committee to take this matter in hand.
 The merchants of the town are to e in:ited to co"fer with General StorekecEcr H. Curtis, of the Alaskan Engineering commiss' ,c. with relation to the amount of food supplies now on hand in town.
 Following the meeting, Food Ad- ministrator G. F. Cramer and the council of defense issued the follow ing regulations governing the use of food in this district, the instruc- tions being addressed to "every resi- dent of Nenana and vicinity:
 "The United States Food Admin strator, upon the presidents pro- clamation, has made the following regulations regarding the conser- vation of food, which are effective immediately.
 'Licensed bakeries and all who sell bread, are required to use 20 per cent substitutes for wheat flour in all bread and rolls. This bread is to be called Victory Bread.
 Wheatless Days-Mondays and Wednesdays.
 "On these days Victory Bread may be used, but wheat flour in no other form can be used on 'Wheatless Days Cake, crackers, pastry, Cream of Wheat, Farina, Macaroni and Noodles are prohibited.
 "Use rice, oatmeal, corn meal, corn starch, barley as substitutes.

 "Use lard substitutes, such as crisco, cottolene, cotton seed oil, and similar products.
 "In addition to the above, you are urged to save every pound of flour possible. Conserve Sugar. Use no more than two teaspoonfuls to each cup of coffee or tea and Stir Well, so that none is left in the bottom of the cup. Save Fats of all kinds, using butter sparingly.

MOTHER OF MEN.


By Alice Ward Bailey of The Vigilantes.
Mother of men, do not mourn,
They have said that your boys must
go.
And your empty arms
And your souls alarms
Are now all that life can show
But look at the flag so proudly borne.
Mother Of men, do not mourn
Mother of men, do not mourn,
They are taking your mirth and JOY;
But gladness comes
With the roll of the drums
To the heart of each marching boy,
While Right and Honor aloft are borne!
Mother of men, do not mourn,
Mother of men, do not mourn,
They have broken your heart, you
say;
And the radiant CLEANS
OF your happy dreams
Have all been driven astray-
But for Heaven and Earth your cross is
borne
Mother of men, do not mournl

Lids for Kids at Abbott,s.

I
Mrs. Stephen Rizzi of North Main
street has returned TO the city from
Washington, D. c., where she visited
relatives after accompanying her daugh-
ter to the national capital. Miss Rizzi
is employed in the civil service.
Much of the detail work on registra-
tion day June 5, is to be handled by
City Clerk James Mackay, under the
supervision of the county registration
board. The city clerk served as chief
registrar year ago when upward of
5000 Barre men between the ages of 81
and 81 registered at the six polling places
in the city. Because of the relatively
small number OF young men who are to
register this year, it is expected that a
single registration place will be sufficient
for the purpose. Figured on the basis
which the provost marshal general has
computed as the probable number OF men
who will register throughout the country,
there will be around 800 Barre regis
trants when the returns are in on the
night of June 5.

LOSE At Tennis
Richards, the 16-Year- Old
Schoolboy, and Tilden De-
feat Veterans in 3 Out
of 4 Sets.

Boston, Aug. 16-Vincent Richards,
national boys champion of Yonkers,
and the smashing William T. Tilden,
Jr., national clay court champion,
paired together in the national ten
mis- double championship, upset cal
culations at Longwood yesterday af-
ternoon when they eliminated the vet
Grams, Nat Niles and T. R. Pell, from
the tournament and landed in the
final round. In their semi-final
match the young players won the first
set at IS, took the second "a,
lost the third by the same score, and
then came back with a rush, getting a
five-love lead in the final set, which
they eventually won 6-3.
Throughout the greater part of the
match Richards and Tilden forced
the issue. The Is year old player
displayed remarkable steadiness I'M
der trying tournament conditions. He
played tennis developed from good
judgment, and had thorough mastery
of his fine strokes. Richards, while
brilliant at times, really was strong
est on his lobbing and avoided the
pitfall of so many Junior players, thai
of smashing at every opportunity.
In a third round match the West.

MURPHY SCORES
A KNOCKOUT

Paris, Aug. 16-Forced in close
bayonet fighting to use the butt of his
gun across the head of a boche to lay
him low, Terry Murphy, the Pitts
burgh lightweight, unable to recoyer
his gun rapidly enough, next swung
with his right fist upon German
lieutenant, who was ready to draw,
upon him, and knocked the Hun into,
Inconsistencies. 1t was Terry's first
knockout in France.
,Terrys unit was brigaded with the
French in the sector about Chateau
Thierry. lie was one of hundreds of
volunteers from his regiment to seek
duty in the front line.
1t was the intention at first to have
the volunteers proceed brigaded with
a French battalion. They were given
their proper formation and told to ad-
vance with the French poilus only to
a certain point, the idea being to
familiarize them with actual fire.
Further advance was to be made by
the poilus, leaving the American vol
unteers behind. At the point they
were to stop, they were overcome with
eagerness, went right along with the
poilus and made a creditable showing.

IN FEATURE BOUT
Heavyweights to Exchange
Blows in Main Attraction
of Boxing Carnival.

The Dempsey-Levinsky encounter
looks like the feature, but there are
other big attractions aplenty on a card
just chock full of stellar matches. And
let it be emphasized that every bout
will be a fight and that not one of the
offerings will be merely an exhibition.
Any boxer who goes into the ring and
tries to get by with several sessions of
fancy stepping and light hitting will
find himself decorating the terrain
outside of the ring. A committee OF
bouncers has been appointed for such
emergencies, but it expects no work.
Benny Leonard, who is in the best
of condition, will meet Harry Pierce
The latter is a rugged and hard hit
ter and will go after the champion
from the opening bell. Pierce does
not mind stopping punches and s
bound to take everything Leonard car
send his way in the six rounds. Irish
Patsy Cline and Phil Bloom should
give a clever exhibition. Billy Miske
will meet Gunboat Smith and a rea
battle is sure to result. Jack Brittor
will get another crack at Ted Levi.
and Eddie Wallace will meet Johnny
Dundee. In all there will be sixteer
bouts. with total of seventy-fou1
rounds scheduled. The pairings are
as follows:

FiStic History

Joe Goss, for several years the
heavyweight champion of America,
was born at Wolverhampton, Ing
land, so years ago today, Aug. 16,
1888. Joe was champion at a greater
age than any other man of the mod
ern ring. He was in his And year
when he was beaten by Paddy Ryan
IN a bare knuckle bout pulled off in
West Virginia in 1880. Goss fought 81
rounds before he finally acknowl-
edged defeat. G'oss began fighting in
England in 1859, and his ring career
covered 20 years. Before coming to
America he was twice defeated by
Jem Mace, and got one draw with
that clever battler. Joe claimed the
American heavyweight championship
after defeating Tom Allen, another
Englishman. in 1876. Goss, Allen and
Mace, all natives of John Bulls tight
little island, ruled the American pu-
gilistic roost for a decade preceding
1880. Then the Irish gained ascend
ency. through Paddy Ryan, John l.
Sullivan and Jim Corbett, and held
1t until another Englishman, Bob
Fitzsimmons, injected himself into
the situation.
