EX-VICE PRESIDENT
 FAIRBANKS DEAD

Indianapolis, June 1.-Charles w. Fairbanks, former vice president of the United States, is near death today of bri9ht's disease. He is 66 years of age.
 Indianapolis, June 5.-Mr. Fairbanks died last night.
 (Charles Warren Fairbanks was born on farm in Union county. Ohio, May II, 1852. He was prominent in Indiana politics many years, and represented the Hoosier state in the United States senate from 1897 to 1905, when he re- signed h.s seat, having been elected to the vice-presdency of the United States in November, 1904, on the Re- publican ticket headed by Col. Theo- dore Roosevelt. In 1916 he was an uu- successful candidate for the same posi- tion on the Republican ticket headed by Judge Charles Evans Hughes. Be- sides positions of political nature, MT. Fairbanks has held appointments on boards and commissions of interna- tional character. He was one of Presi- dent Wilson's staunchest supporters as regards America's policy in inc present world.

WOOD FAMILY LEAVES

The departure from this district last Wednesday night on the Washburn of MT. and Mrs. Cyril P. Wood and their four fine children-Cyril jr.. Mary (Sunshine), Charles and Edward Rus sell-was much-regretted affair to their large circle of friends. MT. Wood has been the resident factor for the N. c. Go. in this camp since the sum- mer of 1911, with the exception of the winter of 19l5-16 which he spent in the States with his family. He has always been an earnest worker in promoting all worthy affairs of the camp during that period, and within the last six months he has certainly been an effec tive booster for the great Red Cross work hereabouts. The going of a man of MT. Woods energy and ability in promoting worthy objects is great loss to our community. The Pioneer extends to Mrs. Wood and himself it's best wishes, and in doing so is voicing the popular desire. Their destination is Seattle.

CHARLES NELSON
 GIVEN THE LIMIT

Charles Nelson, a naturalized Amer ican citizen of Swedish origin, who has been employed by the Yukon Gold Company on Flat creek for several years, was before L. 5. Commissioner A. NJ. kilgore last Monday on a charge of utterng sedtious language. The court declared the prisoner guilty of the otfense and sentenced him to serve one years imprisonment in the Federal jail and to pay a fine of 1000. It is said Nelson, who is of a very industri- ous and thrifty disposition, has large property interests in the vicinity of North Yakima. Wash.
 Acting upon instructions received from the U s. marshal at Fairbanks, Deputy Marshal Geraghty started on the steamer Washburn last Wednesday night with Nelson for Tanana, where the prisoner will serve time. Paul Minnick. an interned alien enemy, was also transported to Tanana.

STR, WASHBURN
 COMES AND GOES

The steamer Washburn. so impati- ently looked for the last week, steamed into Iditarod Tuesday night at l0:30, and tied up at the N. C. dock. Although she is but moderate sized river steamer she looked like a big ship to those who had wintered here. Captain Josey reports one of the most destructive break-ups in history. Every town along the Yukon was dam aged. At Dawson nearly the whole of Front street was swept out, and that is a criterion of what took place in the other towns. All along the river cabins were submerged so that only the roofs were visible. Above and in Shagluk slough there was so much more ice than usual that the Washburn was often in most perilous situation. She was compelled to tie up many times, this accounting for the delayed arrival. The passenger list was as follows: Mrs. H. Donnelley, Mrs. Joe Nc Dow ell, Jerry Ford, Earl Ford, J. R. Nixon, s. C. Warutz, c. A. Boerner L. P, Bergman, Volney Richmond. Roy Nimmo, L. Gartinkle, Alex Benson, Anton Kagoff, Anton Jelie, J, J. Me herin, J. I. Lewis, Henry Gieger.

IN FROM INNOKO

The launch Alice arrived from Tol stoi last Wednesday morning with the following passengers: Mrs. Nettie s. Jacobsgaard. Dan Olson, J. Ernest Nj. Beattie, Pete Monier, Eddie ("Red") Daniels, and Fritz Walters. When the launch reached the Innoko river she overlook 8 canoe bound down stream from Ophir containing U. s. Commis- sioner James c. Moody and Mir. Will Hams, who continued their voyage to , this camp aboard the Alice.
 Judge Moody says high water in the region of Ophir, McGrath and Takotna did considerable damage. Nearly all the buildings in Ophir were flooded, and, although the waters had receded conside bly,, his courtroom floor was . foot under water at the time of his de- parture-May 24.
 The settlement at McGrath seems to have been hit hardest by the spring breakup. It is reported that several substantial buildings of the town were wrecked, and the wireless telegraph station has been out of commission since May II. About one hundred dogs kept at summer feeding camp near McG rath are reported to have been l drowned.
 Al time of Mr. Moody's leaving Ophir it was rumored that "Whte Dog' Smilh, the mail carrier, had been un- able 10 cross the Kuskollwim river with the delayed consignments of last win ter's mail.
 Both Judge Moody and MT. Williams are in poor physical condition, and after a stop of few hours in lditarod con- tinued 10 Flat City to receive hospital care. The Little Giant says he lacks ? pounds and 3 ounces of being in the pink of condition.

 The boat, which was expected by midnight Sunday, did not put in an aD- pearance until 9:30 Tuesday night. Early Sunday morning small groups Of people from the creeks began to reach town, and by Monday afternoon the streets showed more life than at any time for months. Some of the visitors. aweary of waiting, returned to the creeks to come hack the following day. No community in Alaska can boast of more 'skookum" looking bunch Of ''rookies than those comprising ldita- rods first National Army contingent, and there's plenty of material in it to make splendid soldiers. There were b in the squad, but not quite that many different nationalities repre- sented.
 The authorization details were thor oughly and mlnutely looked after by Major George Woodruff Albrecht. the chairman of the local military board. All the accepted men were on hand when Major Albrecht formed the squad on Richmond street for it's initial once over.

PULLMAN WOMEN
TAKE STENOGRAPHN
Take Advantage of Course Offered at
summer Session To Fit Them
selves for War Positions

Reservations in the advanced and
beginning courses in stenography at
the summer session of the State Col
lege of Washington, at Pullman, have
been made by many of the young
women of Pullman. Miss Ella NJ.
Ross, junior in college, will take
UP the work; Miss Frances Randle,
Miss Eileen Brackney, Miss Adele
Schumacher Miss Edna Champlin
Miss Amelia Hedges, and her sister,
Mary Hedges, Miss Nellie Wilson,
Miss Gladys Graham, and Mrs.
Blanche Gerding, will be members of
the advanced class.
Miss Catherine Mathews will take
the six weeks course, and will also
work in the college library this sum-
mef.
The summer courses in stenog-
raphy offered by the State College
are two in number, each beginning
June 3, and continuing for six
weeks. The advanced course is
planned to meet the needs of persons
who have a beginning knowledge of
stenography, including two years of
high school study or the equivalent,
and who, it is hoped, in about four
months of intensive training, can
qualify for the civil service eXamina-
ton looking to government work in
this line, in which, owing to war
time necessities, there now is an
acute shortage. The course for be-
ginners aims to prepare for civil serv-
ice examinations and the acceptance
of wartime stenographic positions by
February l, 1919.

PULLMAN WINS
FROM END|COTT
Makeshift Baseball Team, Headed b,
Doc Boiler, Plays Brand of Ball
That PleaseS Big Audience
at Garfield

"Cack" Barnard, better known in
society as Frank j. Barnard, state
college registrar, is a hero. No, he
didn't save anybody's life, but he
won baseball game for Pullman
with a timely hit at the Garfield pic
mic Wednesday. The Pullman team,
gathered together ON a minute
notice by Captain" j. Fred Boiler,
met team wearing the Endicott uni
forms but composed almost entirely
of Spokane City league players, and
won, ? to 0, in as good a game as
was ever seen on an Inland Empire
lot. The game proceeded to the
sixth inning without a score, both
teams playing alright ball and the
pitchers apparently inyincible Then,
with two men on bases, "Cack" Bar
nard, Pullman catcher, came to the
plate, swung his club at a fast one
and sent the ball far into the gar
den, the two runs that came across
the plate proving to be the only tai.
lies of the game.
A crowd of 400 spectators wit
messed the contest and voted the
Pullman team one of the best aggre-
cations of balltossers ever seen in
Garfield, despite the fact that they
had never before played together.
The Pullman lineup included Bar
nard, as catcher; Swanson, pitcher;
Doc Boiler, first; Roy Boiler, sec
ond; Williams, short; Moe, third;
and Sanger, Thorpe and Kienholz in
the field.
Thursday the Pullman team met
the Potlatch team for the champion
ship of the tournament and the $125
purse, but the result had not been
received at the time of going to press.
