All Richmond" must give because the Retreat
is All Rlchmond's Hospital" The mother of
hospitals and the most beloved in all the South
because of it's wonderful record Of good work!
Patients leave the Retreat with happiest re-
membranes Scores of doctors have testified
during this campaign to the homelike atmosphere
and the tender, faithful service of the nurses and
attendants.
Many patient has had the best of attention
and been made we'll at the Retreat on their own
terms of payment, who might not have enjoyed
hospital attention at all otherwise
In the past Is years the Retreat has served
$4,000 bed patients part-pay or free. In
the same period the Retreat has given 87,237
days treatment absolutely free. During the
current year it has given over 5000 days free
treatment.
The Retreat is an open hospital where all repu-
table doctors and surgeons can practice. Three
fourths Of the city's doctors and surgeons cannot
practice at the privately conducted hospitals.
Many have stated that they could not get along
without the Retreat.

The present Retreat is 125-year-old dapi-
dated residence building. 1t has been sold and
must be vacated at once. A new Retreat was
started at Grove Avenue and Mulberry Street in
1917, with funds contributed at that time. Work
on the building has proceeded as far as is posi-
BILE with funds in hand, and unless the money
needed to finish it is Forthcoming, the Retreat
Will have to go out of business
You may say it is impossible Uncomfortable
that the Retreat would be allowed to go out of
business But if the majority of our people
stand back and depend upon few to put this
project over the Retreat certainly will have to
go out of business
$l25,O00 is needed to complete the new Re-
treat, which,is designed to be a strictly modern
hospital with double the capacity of the old
Retreat
And now for little plain speaking. The con-
tributions to this campaign have been far less
than they should be-far less than was hoped for

of all our people this grand old Richmond nstitu-
ton will be lost to the city. you have not given

SHOVEL MOVED
TO NEW GRAVEL
BED NEAR 43

Very satisfactory progress is be-
ing made with the surfacing work
along the Government railroad to
the south of Nenana, according to
Superintendent of Construction W.
L. Packer. Two surfacing gangs
have been at work for a considera-
BILE time and a large amount of
gravel has been used in putting the
grade in shape for traffic.
Surfacing gang No. l is working
north from the gravel pit, about II
miles from town, where the dragline
excavator is in operation, with an
average daily output of 800 yards
of gravel. The surfacing material
is loaded into Harte convertible
cars, each having capacity of 35
yards, and distributed along the
grade where needed The dragline
was recently moved from the north
end of the gravel pit to the south
end, where the digging is now pro-
crossing steadily. The surfacing
work is being done under the direc-
ton of Foreman Martin Gilman.
Surfacing gang No. 2, for which
gravel is supplied by the Bucyrus
steam shovel, is moving camp today
to 43-Mlle (Nenana Crossing), anG
henceforth will work both from and
toward the river. The shovel will
be stationed in a cut about mile
north of the river. where there is
an abundant supply of gravel, of
which the machine is capable of
handling about 700 yards daily. The
shovel is temporarily out of com
mission as the. result of continuous
heavy work, but repairs are now
under way and it is expected that
operations can be resumed within
the next day or two. Louis Lee is
foreman of surfacing gang No. 2.
There is an extremely low stretch
of grade a short distance north Of
the Tanana river, which will be
raised by surfacing gang No. ?. At
one point it will be necessary to
place about six feet of gravel, but
there is a considerable portion of
the grade in that locality which will
not require a great deal of work
beyond dressing it off.
Those who have travelled over the
finished portion of the roadbed, de-
clare that it is in splendid condi-
ton. the work of the surfacers ap-
parently having been very thorough
ly done. The appearance is good, |
and the thoroughness of the work is |
attested by the smoothness with
which trains now pass over the sur
faced portions of the grade.

huge flares indicate the roads and

country.
Twelve wells have been driven,
says a recent issue of the Juneau
Dispatch, and of these probably half
are producing oil. Work now is
progressing on the thirteenth well,
which has attained a depth of $40
feet. Work has been stopped on
this well temporarily because of the
breaking of pin on the drill stem
used in this hole. The stem was
lost in the we'll and it required
about twelve hours before it was
fished out.
George Hazelet, manager of the
oil company, expresses great faith
in the well near Katalla and is GER
tain that great development will
follow Immediately if the Govern
ment ever sees fit to release it
either to lease or location. In the
meantime the Chilkat company,
which owns 100 acres, is confined to
its holdings and is unable to pros

The coal fields of the Boring

by the owners of the lease Ac-
cording to reports, the showings al
ready made indicate that there is a
vast body of high-grade coal there
which only requires cheap trans
portation to develop into a paying
mine.
The coal uncovered is of a high
grade and is found in veins suffi-
GENTLY large and regular to justify
investments. 1t is freely
predicted by many persons who have
followed the work in these fields
that with the coming of next spring
