 MONTE TERRELL WILL HIT TRAIL

In yesterdays mail The Citizen re- ceived a short letter from Monte Ter Till, who is now at the Pioneer home at Sitka, in which it was stated that the aged man is going blind The arrangement of the written lines appear to bear out the statement.
 Monte states that he has never required the services of doctor oI taken a dose of medicine since his arrival. That he still has the interior in mind is evidenced by part of the letter in which he states that he will be hitting the trail about the last of February.
 Terrill will be remembered as the old man with the amputated feet, sent to the home some time ago to be taken care of.

REINSTATEMENT
 CONCERNING THE
 MAIL CONTRACT

Thru a misstatement in the evening paper regarding the existing mail contracts some mixup has re. suited in the minds of the public as to who is carrying the mails.
 The statement made alleges that Larry Lillico had received message from Fred Nichols informing him that a man by the name of Taylor was on his way in to make arrange. ments for him (Nicholls) to carry the mail; that Brewer had quit the busi. ness and was on the return trip to the coast.
 MT. Lillico denies ever receiving such message or making mention of any such circumstances as des- cribed. He does not know MT. Nichols and would not know him if he met him.
 The facts of the matter are that MT. Lillico did receive a message from John Brewer, stating that his road foreman, MT. Taylor, was com. ing to Fairbanks for the purpose of making all necessary arrangements for carrying the mail from this end and to make the system perfect for quick time and would represent MT. Brewer at the Fairbanks end.
 Early Monday morning the first shipment of the mail under the Brow CT contract left Fairbanks in charge of MT. Lillico in an auto truck, George Nightengale at the wheel. The trip was made to the Piledriver roadhouse in quick time at which place the shipment was picked up by Johnny Burns and relayed to the Delta, all in one day, which is some thing of a mail carrying record itself. From the Delta it will be carried by the horse stage until the condition of the road will permit of auto travel.
 It is the intention of John Brewer, the present contractor, to maintain a perfect schedule for the winter months. MT Nichols is in an entire ly different line of endeavor.

SAILING DATES
 FROM CORDOVA

Information is at hand regarding the sailing dates of steamers from Cordova. Oscar Anderson, who went out some few days ago, wired to Fairbanks the probable dates of the next sailings. The Northwestern is scheduled to leave the coast town on December first. The next steamer to leave will be the Alaska. Her time is fixed as December third. It is not known when the next boat after these will leave, as the schedule is not maintained in any respect from the coast town.
 Anderson arrived in Cordova on the tenth of the month and was compelled to remain until the 23rd before he could get a steamer.

TRADE THRIFT STAMPS FOR
 BABY BONDS

The United States security known as the thrift stamp will cease to be after December 31, unless congress sional action is taken to allow the further sale of the security. AS it now stands the sale of the stamp was only authorized until the end of the year 1918.
 It is advisable for those who have any number of thrift stamps in their possession to have them exchanged for War-Savings stamps (the $500 denomination) The small security may be withdrawn from circulation after the end of the year, and those now sold will not draw interest The War Savings stamps are inter est bearing. The object of the thrift stamp was for the saving up of the quarters until sufficient had been placed on a card with which to pur- chase one of the larger denomination stamps.

TAFT OFFERED
 CONTROL GREAT
 NATIONAL GAME

NEW YORK, Nov. William Howard Taft has been offered the position of being the sole member of the National Baseball commission which controls ell matters relating to the game in America. It is stated that MT. Taft has taken the matter under advisement and will announce his decision within fewday s.
 All the presidents of the eastern clubs have approved of the idea and have given their sanction to the prop. osition. The western cubs are as yet uniformed on the subject, and their opinion will be asked for.
 MT. Ttaft is an ardent lover of the pastime and with his knowledge of the game, together with his legal training, those who foster the idea believe that he will make the proper official beside making a great reduction in the expense account of conducting the organization in the way of salaries.

LOTS OF FORMER
 FAIRBANKSANS

DESERTERS ARE TO RECEIVE NO
 CONSIDERATION

The following telegram received by Chairman Heilig, of the council of defense, relative to the handling of the assertions from the army is self. explanatory.
 Juneau, Alaska, Nov, 12. Council of Defense, Fairbanks.
 The following telegram from the Council of National Defense is sub. mitted to you:
 "The adjutant-general urgently re. quests that your territorial and allied councils do not relax your efforts to assist the war department in the ap. prehension of deserters throughout the entire demobilization. Desertions now cripple the execution of plans for a well-regulated demobilization.
 "Desertions not followed by prompt apprehension and return of deserters to camp break up the morale and lead to other desertions Unpunished assertions and violations of military law lead to civil disorder and law lessness. The temptation to conni. vance by civilians, especially in home communities, makes the apprehension of deserters especially difficult now. "Adjutant-general requests you to educate the public as to the need of orderly demobilization and the neces. sity of cooperation with the authori ties in checking assertions. Remind them that by connivance they are as. sisting the soldier in aggravating a serious crime for which the extreme penalty is death! And above all, fol. low up every desertion with every means in your power. Stick close to the job.
 CLARK, Chairman Territorial Council of De. fense."

NUMBER TO BE SENT OVERSEAS
 YET UNDECIDED

WASHINGTON. Nov. 25-The mum. Der of persons to compose the peace commission has not yet been decided upon. It was thot for a time that about thirty would comprise the party.
 From the latest ir formation a small Ter number not to exceed five, has been deemed more advisable. This would not include the exi .ts who would necessarily accompany the commission. The clerks and other needed help could be secured from the embassies at London and Paris.
 The American government is now in communication with the other powers regarding this point and until some agreement is arrived at the size of the party will not be known.
