As the premier insisted on knowing

Little Town At Head of Navigation Filled With Steamboat Men
 Pending Breakup

Advices received from Chena,, at the confluence of Cinema slough and the Tanana river, state that the town has taken on an air of unusual activity, as the result of the arrival of steamboat crews and laborers to put the boats in shape for the re- sumption of traffic
 The town does not look the same as in former years, however, owing to the absence of many of the old ndmarks-buidings which have been removed to the newer town of Nenana-and to the disappear ance of liquor traffic, for which Cinema was more or less famed in the old days.

 Local Talent. .:.s

The entertainment staged at the Coliseum theater last evening by the men of Nenana was greeted by a crowded house and reports indicate that the affair was a decided success from every standpoint.
 Many novel forms of amusement were resorted to by the stars and the hit of the evening was 3-round bout between the paperweight cham pions, who were carried into the ring in a clothes basket. The fighters were full of pep from the start and if the referee had not intervened, a knockout would have been certain several times.
 Grady Summerlin was in the role of an old campaigner and recited his battle experiences; he was en- cored and replied by selection called "Me and Jim.'
 Professor J. Hampton Miles seem ed to have no end of slight-of- hand and magic work and kept the crowd wondering for long time. He also gave several demonstrations of ven- triloquism, which invoked much ap- plause.

FORMER SKIPPER IS RESIGNED ID
 FATE AS GUARD
Art Heaeock Interned at Benicia, With No Hope of Getting Into
 the War.

Arthur Virginius aeacock, former we'll konw Tolovana river navigator who went Outside last fall to enlist in the United States army in the hope of getting a chance at the Ger mans in France, is still very much on American soil and has practically abandoned hope of ever reaching the firing line.
 In a letter dated March 21, Art tells of having been transferred from Angel island, here he was doing duty as a plumber, to Benicia, where he is attached to the Ordnance corps.
 II suppose you fellows up there have me somewhere in France by this time, but such is not the case" he writes. Here I am, stationed at the Benicia arsenal, doing guard duty. I spent five months on Angel Island, in the plumbing shops, but was good and tired of the island and more so the line of work they had me put to. But in the army you do what they put you to and you have to like it. The only way I got away from the rock was by transferring here to the Ordnance corps.
 Il never drilled a minute while on the island and probably would never have had a chance to, had I stayed there. Here, have been doing drill duty every day. Practically all we have to do here is to keep up neat appearance and, once or twice a week, do guard duty. Too soft.
 From what I can learn of this place and the rules and regulations, guess I am here to stay for the duration of the war. There are a number of soldiers who have been here for twenty years and more. But 1 they feed fine and treat us we'll, so I should worry. The only thing I don't like about it is that I have nothing to keep my mind occupied, and 1 always did like to be doing something. When I put in to be transferred here they told me there was all kinds of chances for mechan- i ics, but since arriving here, I have found out that there is no chance at all All they want us to do is to soldier.
 Give my regards to all inquiring i friends, and tell some of the boys to write They would if they realized how we appreciate letters out here" "

 The laying out of the necessary cable and all other operations in con- nection herewith, with the extention of the system to all parts of the city, as the ultimate object in view, will be pushed as rapidly as possible; and when it has been completed in every deail and in full working order, Ne mana will have the finest telephone system in Interior Alaska.

Desert Campaigns ike Warfare of an Older Day

meant advancing before the railway and
pipe lines and fighting an enemy that was
brave and resoureeful by himself and that
had German help in carefully planning
all the details of the desert advance.
The work the British troops did during
that advance, the mere work aside from
the fighting, is Homerie. Frequently the
going was so heavy that the infantry could
make no more than six miles day. For
fifty days on end the shade temperature
was never less than 100 degrees, and on
top of this the nights would be bitterly
cold. And in these climatic conditions the
men of the f. E. F. dug eighty'miles of
trenches on the eastern bank of the canal,
to say nothing of other defensive posi-
lions blasted out of the rock. Mr.. Mas
sey devotes separate chapters to the build
ing of the desert railway and to the sup
plying of water for the troops, chapters
which speak loudly Of the faithful, pa
tient work of the engineers.
The actual fighting of the advance be-
gan in April when the Turks attacked
the British troops at Ogratina, Katia and
Ducidar, defeating them at the first
named places but being soundly thrashed
at Ducidar. 1t was at Katia that Capt.
Leslie Cheape, the polo player, was
killed. Until the railway had advanced
TO Romani in July, 1916, there was no
more than desultory fighting, but at that
place was fought an engagement, lasting
from July 10 until August II, that Mr..
Massey declares to be "the most I'M
portant battle fought on Egyptian terri
tory during the campaign"
The victory of the British over the
Turks settled for once and all the ques-
ton of the enemy ever reaching the Suez
Canal. Contrary to all expectations, the
Turks had with them guns as big as
eight inch howitzers, hauled across many
miles of desert, and there were many de-
tails of their equipment so admirable they
were afterward adopted by the British.
But the British forces whipped them
soundly, took 1900 prisoners, caused
from 1000 to 5000 casualties and cap
tured 100000 rounds Of small arms am
