SCHOOL CHILDREN BUY
MANY THRIFT STAMPS

LOS ANGELES, April 7.-School
children of Los Angeles purchased
$4,000 thrift stamps, totaling $2O4,-
$50 maturity value, during 1918, ac-
cording to report just made by Miss
Grace M. Mogle, in charge of war
savings work in the Los Angeles city
scheel district.
The report of the activities of the
students does not cover a period of
three months during which the schools
were closed on account of the epidemic
of Spanish influenza, when practically
no sales of stamps were made. Miss
Mogle said however, that with the
new year renewed interest was taken
in the campaign.
From month to month, the report
says, 140,27S students purchased
stamps; 45,219 thrift cards were COM
pleted and 3O,964 students completed
cards.

GRAVE OF RELATIVE
IS FINALLY LOCATED

GLENROCK, Wyo., April IA fifty
eight-year search for the grave of A.
H. Unthank who was a member of a
party of California gold seekers, ended
here recently when Mr.. and Mrs. J.
A. Unthank of Walthill, Neb., visited
the grave, marked by a headstone on
which the inscription, "a. H. Unthank,
Died July 2, 1885," had almost been
obliterated by the elements.
A. H. Unthank left his home in the
East late in the year 1849 to go to
California, which was crowded with
gold seekers. AS the caravan neared
what is now Glenrock he sickened and
died. The other members of the party
buried him and erected the headstone
which now marks his grave. Reach
ing California one Of the party notified
his relatives of his death, but was I'M
able to give them the exact location
of the grave.
j. A. Unthank, nephew, a young
man at the time of his uncle's death,
has ever since endeavored to locate
the grave of his relative without sue
cess until his recent visit here. He
will fence the plot and erect a monu-
ment in memory of his uncle.

YUKON OUTPUT
OF GOLD HAS
Been LARGE

Yukon territory has shipped to the
outside world no less than $200,OO0,000
III virgin gold.
Under the stress of high cost Of
equipment and supplies, due to the
war, and the difficulty imposed upon
some of the large companies in get
ing capital for purchase of ground
from individual holders during the
last your years, the gold producing in
dustry of the territory gradually has
slowed down. The longer the war
continued the more difficult production
became, as prices of supplies continu-
ally were mounting, thereby reducing
the purchasing power of gold for the
time, and not warranting the opera
ton of many of the low grade prop
critics of the country
However, it is stated by competent
authority that within few miles Of
Dawson are forty-eight miles of placer
creeks of proved values awaiting oper-
alton by dredge as soon as conditions
become favorable. The reorganiza-
ton of some of the large companies
now under way also will facilitate the
working of many miles of the richest
dredge and hydraulic properties which
long have been tied up. A number Of
large dredges in this country have
shut down awaiting the changed con-
d;tions, and much of the dredge
parts have been reduced for the time
owing to difficulty Of getting such
material during the war
The Klondike sent to the great war
900 men, many of whom were miners
engaged in individual placer opera
lions before the war; Other burdens
on the gold miner due to the war also
discouraged the operations, especially
on low-grade properties, for the time.
In Alaska it was recognized what a
burden the war was on the miner and
all assessment work was suspended
until after the war, and this caused
many miners to come to the coast to
seek other employment until after the
war, and Canada suspended necessity
of representation or operation of all
claims in the Yukon owned by miners
with the colors until six months
months after the formal signing Of
after the formal signing of peace. All
these things tended to the diminution
of the gold operations and yield for
the period of the war.
The following is a summary of the
Klondike gold shipments to date, the
figures in recent years being from
the records of the royalty collector Of
the Dominion government stationed
at Dawson.

The annual Alaskan report just
made to congress shows wonderful
strides made by the territory. The
white population is now estimated at
10000.
Trade with the United States during
the last fiscal year was $131, 100000,
more than the trade between the
Pnited States and the Philippines,
Porto Rico, or Hawaii.
Agriculture is flourishing; and Alas
kan farmers are reaching out into
northern Siberia for market for
vegetables, which will be shipped in a
dehydrated form. In the Tanana val
ley the farmers have developed a
strain of Siberian wheat which makes
fine flour, ripens quickly and can be
grown in all valleys of Alaska. By
next year, it is promised that Alaska
will raise all the wheat needed in the
territory for flour, and later on the
territory may export wheat and -four

START PUBLIC WORK, WRITES SEC'Y.
 WILSON

Urging the advisability of promptly resuming all contemplated public i'm provements which have been held in abeyance during the war, Secretary of Labor Wilson in a communication to the local chamber of commerce, eX- presses his solution for the reconstruc tion era, now dawning. In the letter, MT. Wilson advocates the creation of a reserve supply of labor which will meet a possible shortage later, and warns business men that the present is the time to employ full staffs, even though they may not be needed i'm mediately.
 Secretary Wilson says in part:
 T am of the opinion that from the time we restore ourselves to our normal postwar activities, the de- mand for peace time production will be so great that there will not be the remotest possibility of securing any reduction in the wage rates from their present basis. I feel further, that the manufacturer who fails to take into consideration the prospects of the future and who, in hope of securing a cheaper labor or cheaper raw material, does not build up his organization and maintain it during the possibly brief period of readjust- ment, will be handicapped in -secur- ing his share of the business after wards; because he will be handicap ped through lack of working forces in his factory.
 With the attitude of mind that I have expressed as existing on the part of some manufacturers relative to waiting for a lowering in the price of raw material and the price of labor, it may be that the restoration of indus try will not take place as rapidly as the sdemobilization takes place. We are not sure of that. There ought to be provision made for reservoir that would absorb the demobilized workers, not in doing the things which there is no need to have done, but in doing the things that ought to be done-that are valuable for peace-time purposes "a reservoir that
 will take care of them for the brief
 period between their dismissal from
 the army or the dismissal from the
 war industries until they can be
 resabsorbed into the natural postwar
 industrial activities.

WHAT CATARRH IS

Science has shown that nasal catarrh often indicates a general weakness of the body and local treatments in the form of snuffs and vapors only irritate and do little if any good.
 To correct catarrh you should treat its cause by enriching your blood with the oil-food in Scott's Emulsion which is a medicinal food and a building tonic, free from any harmful drugs. It is helping thousands. Try it.

''The department of agriculture, is. taking steps to accomplish part of that purpose in the matter of road i'm provement, highway improvements. on the theory congress has acted on in the past, that for military purposes. and for postal routes, roads are nec- essary all over the country. Where men are employed in road-building, they do not have to be taken from their own home communities to en- gage in the work. The department of agriculture, therefore, has asked, or is about to ask for an increased appropriation which will enable it, in cooperation with the respective ject of road building that will absorb if need be, some of these workers temporarily, until industry resumes it's natural course.
 During the period of the war by virtue of the shortage of workmen. there has been little or no municipal activity in building operations, in park extensions, in sewage extension, waterworks, or any other of the pub lie utilities. We are suggesting, through the department of labor, the advisiability of their resuming these activities at as early date as pos- sible.
 Whenever it is possible to utilize public means, wherever it is possible to undertake public work, or things that are valuable for peace-time pur- poses, it should be undertaken as promptly as possible It may not be needed, but it ought to be provided so that it can be utilized if it is need ed.
 q am not one of those who take the ground that country or a gov ernment owes every man a living. But all governments, all organized so- ciety is mansecrated, and consequent ly more or less artificial because of the restrictions that must of nec- essity be imposed for the purpose of enabling us to live in harmony with each other. And because of those restrictions, men have not always the opportunity of working for themselves
 and I am one of those who believe that all good governments will see to it that every man has the oppor-
 tunity to earn living. In other words, the government does not owe
 him living, but it owes him the opportunity to earn a living"
