 Twenty-nine sheepmen who were gathered here in February, 1915, made up the pot" one evening, each con- tributing $100. The one who guess ed nearest to the date of the end of the world war was to receive tne pot" The $2,90O and the twenty nine guesses were placed in an en ,e- lope and placed in a safe deposit box to await the end of the war. It was opened several days after the signing of the armistice terms by Germany and Mackey was found to have been the best guesser. November 15, 1918, being his guess,
 The guess pot was an aftermath of a gathering of sheepmen at Granger, Wyoming, while the men were there on winter range. Two Wyoming sheepmen guessed September 23, 1918. as the end of the war, while the wife of Mackey guessed date in December, 1918.

 DEMONSTRATED
GA. P. Correspondence.)

ROOSEVELT, Utah, Nov. 28.- What was said to have been the nearest approach to the genuine, old time wild west celebrations occurre,, here upon the occasion of the signing of the armistice terms by Germany This town, named after the former President who is said to have taken part in wild west demonstrations during his cowboy days, turned loose" when the news arrived and every revolver, shotgun and rifle ir the community was used to make a noise.
 The town was literally "shot-up' by several dozens of cowboys who came in from neighboring ranches, the riders riding thru the main street at break neck pace, shooting their revolvers as they rode. No damage was done to property. The cele. bration stopped only when the par. ticipants and ammunition were ex. hausted.

NO FREE SEEDS BY GOVERNMENT

It is announced that there will be no free distribution of seeds by the government this year and those who have been accustomed to receiving them should make some provision for the planting of their garden with seeds secured from some other source.
 This announcement brings to mind the trouble that some Fairbanksans had in getting their seed thru the mails from the Outside last spring It would be well to bear in mind when ordering the supply for the garden for spring planting to give specific instructions to the shippers to do them up in one pound pack. ages, or less, to insure them being sent by parcels post promptly. All seed shipments are given the prefer ence over all other classes of mail matter outside of first class Should they be put up in larger packages than one pound 1t is more than like. ly that they will come along with the magazines and newspapers. too late for planting.

COM. CLUBBOOK
 ON INTERIOR IN
 USE IN SCHOOLS

It is the laudable custom of the secretary of Fairbanks Commercial club immediately to solicit for mem. bership in that organization any che chacos who may find their way into Fairbanks, who may show signs of acquiring residence either temporary or permanent within it's gates. As an inducement, he displays the pam phlet gotten out year or so ago by the club entitled Fairbanks, Alaska's 8 Golden Heart" and offers to mail copies to any friends of said che chaco who may be interested there in. Not all chechakos avail them selves of this offer. But occasionally one will be found who takes the worthy secretary at his word and fur nishes list of friends who, he states. will be edified by receiving a copy of the booklet.
 About a year ago chechako un- derwent an experience. He has heard from several of the recipients of the papshlet, all of whom expressed ther. pleasure and interest in its con tents. But the latest mail brot the most interesting and most valuable acknowledgement of all. The wife of the gentleman to whom the book was sent teaches geography turnout the large building where she is employed, Departmental teaching being the system used there. The following is her tribute to the value of the book let: Tt is nearly year since we received card from you, that being the first we knew of your being in far-away Alaska. A few days after receiving your card MT. 2. received pamphlet on Fairbanks put out by the chamber of commerce. We nat urally feel that we have you to thank for that, which I most heartily do. Your card telling of great cold as early as November 18th, and that little booklet have been much in demand turnout Evans school. Each and every class studies Alaska more from them than from the regular geography. Most of us think that Alaska is inhabited mostly by Eski- mos dwelling in snowhouses and eat ing dried salt meat. (Why not? Our geographies tell us SOL Thus the real facts are surprising. What gave me the greatest surprise was that awnings should ever be needed! Once again want to thank you for sending or having that little book sent. It has given so many so much valuable information"
 It is satisfaction to know that in at least one city of the Union the rising generation will not be fed on a lot of transformation as to Alaska and Alaskans.

ALASKA SAFEST
 PLACE0N EARTH

The following clipping from Se- attle paper probably portrays some real incidents in the lives of those who come from the North to visit that city:
 "Where is the man who wrote all this stuff about dangers and hard ships in Alasi;a?" asked L. l.. Bee- be at the Hotel Frye last night. Bee be is making his first trip to the United States from Alaska in twenty years.
 q have encountered more hard ships and danger since I left Nome about three weeks ago than did in the whole twenty years I was in the North" he said.
 About 150 passengers on the yes. sel on which I travelled to Seattle had the Spanish influenza. Those who didn't get it on the boat have had it since their arrival here. Twen- ty of them are dead. and the rest of them look like a walking hospital.
 Influenza is an epidemic, and one might be expected to be afflicted with it, but, although it is deadly dis- ease, it is not nearly so deadly as these automobiles. I have been near. ly killed dozen times since I left the hospital.
 "One guy hit me with the fender of his machine this afternoon as I was crossing the street. I started to tell him what I thot about him. He coun. tered by saying I was walking in my sleep, under which circumstances, l suppose, he thot he had right. It's a fine city and everything, and it's grown like a weed since I saw it last. twenty years ago.
 Wants Quiet Place
 "I don't want to be knocker, but I'm writing my friends in the North. land that it is not safe place to spend the winter. Personally. would just as soon be on the firing line in France as on Second avenue when a celebration is in progress. I'm look ing for a nice lumber camp or min. ing prospect somewhere in the noun tains where I can enjoy rest. Seat. tie is no place for sourdough. There are too many chances of being killed"

BIG WAGES FOR
 0NEDAY'S WORK
GA. P. Correspondence.)

WINNEMUCCA, New, Dec. l. Thirty dollars day for waiting on a family was the wage at which a colored woman was hired here by a Basque sheep man to go to his ranch near McDermitt, on the Oregon line, all the members of his family being down with influenza. The sheepman had tried in vain to get help nearer home,' and failing, came to Winne- mucca. There were a number of cases of the disease here, and that, together with the fact that many people are afraid of contracting in fiuenza, made it difficult to find a woman to go. The colored woman was offered $20 a day. She said it was worth s30, and without parleying the Basque consented to pay it.

ARE PREPARING FOR EPlDEMlCS
 OF INFLUENZA
GA. P. Correspondence.),,

CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-Plans for com- batting another influenza epidemic which is expected to sweep the coun- try in 1919 will be considered by health authorities from all parts of the United States, Canada and South America at the forty-sixth annual convention of the American Public Health association which opens here in the near future.
 Members of the association say that all the influenza epidemics since 1929 have been recurrcnt for from two to three years after the initial out break. For this reason leading au- thorities feel convinced that the visi- tation of 1918 will be repeated in 1919 and probably in 1920. Also it is pointed out that in previous cpl denies the second and third out breaks have been more virulent and attended by higher mortality rate than were the initial manifestations.
 It was early in 1918, according to Dr. w. A. Evans, former health com missioner of Chicago, that the now so-called Spanish influenza made its appearance in Spain. Now Spain is having it's second outbreak, accord ing to Dr. Evans, more virulent in form and attended by an alarming death rate.
 During the three-day meeting the methods used in combating the 1918 epidemic in the United. States will be thoroly considered and plans out lined for meeting any further emer- gency. Among those who will pre- sent papers and take part in the dis. cussions are Major w. H. Welch, of the National Medical corps; Dr. E. c. Rosenow, of the Mayo foundations Dr. Herman Biggs, commissioner of the New York State Department of Health, and Dr. A. J. Mclaughlin, assistant surgeon general of the United States Public Health service. Besides consideration of influenza, many subjects of general interest pertaining to public health during the reconstruction period will be taken up. There will be discussions regarding proper precautions in the care of children to reduce mortality rates, rural sanitation, the effect of fashions on health and the use of narcotics in war times.

ANOTHER BOOST
 FOR THE FUND

Another boost will be given to the orphan fund for the month of De- cember and it now looks as tho the fund will mount to over the thousand dollar mark set.
 Yesterday Bob Gum donated two cords of wood to the good of the cause and was busy in disposing of chances to his friends. The chances will be sold for fifty cents each and the winner will have two cords of good wood for winter use and at time when it will be needed the most. Last spring Gum donated two cords of wood to the same cause and sev- eral French orphans have uhdoubted- ly enjoyed his generosity by this time. The only difference between the spring donation and this one is that Jim Mcintyre declared himself in on the game and hauled it in from Steel creek without cost to the fund or anyone.
