etc. The Hindu religion, which has
about 100000 followers, is divided
into hundreds of separate castles or
denominations. In most cases the
followers of these different shades of
beliefs are orthodox. They have diff
ferent customs and ways of worship,
and their entire life is controlled by
religious rites and ceremonies. In
termarriage is not practiced between
the followers of different religions.
If a Christian should marry a Mo-
hamne6an or a Hindu. both the
Christian and Mohammedan or Hindu
would be excommunicated from the
Church or Caste. The Hindus are
SO strict followers of their religions

not even a snake or an ant. The
British government does not directly
interfere with the habits and customs
of the people. Indirectly, that is, the
modern improvements. such as rail-
roads. city water supplying system,
educational system after European
plans. caste antagonism is disappear
ing very fast. Some people claim that
Christian missions will remove the
caste antagonism or the horrors OF
caste system, but the writer disagrees
with them. The missions, represent

other religion to those already in eX-
istance. thus making the breach more
pronounced. The writer once be-

DEATH SUMMONS
JACK HANSON At
LOCAL HOSPITAL

After having lowered between life
and death for several days, Jack
Hanson, popular employee of the
Alaskan Engineering commission,
passed away at 4:24 this afternoon
at the Government hospital, where
he underwent an operation for acute
appendicitis on August so.
The condition of the patient be-
came critical several days ago, and
he grew steadily weaker until the
end came, despite everything that
was done to have him. He remained
conscious to the last.
The deceased had suffered several
attacks prior to the last one, which
brought him to the hospital.
He leaves a mother, residing in
Seattle, a stepfather, three sisters
and two brothers.
The relatives have been notified
of the death and word will be await
ed from them before arrangements

at Camp 423, on the Nenana-Fair-
banks line. He first began work
as a timekeeper, on March l, 1917.
He was 27 years of age at the time
of his death.
Before coming to Nenana, and
during all the time he was here,
Jack took a prominent part in ath-
letics and was rated one of the
best baseball players in the camp,
his pitching being largely response
BILE for the splendid showing made
by the Nenana team during the
recent series with Fairbanks. He
was very popular here and in Fair
banks, leaving a large number of
friends in both towns to mourn his
loss.

SPOUSE

WEEDS NOBLEMAN

The many friends of Adolph Book,
sourdough Hot Springs mining man,
will be interested in the following
clipping, from an Omaha paper, re-
garding the latest adventure of the
oldtimer's former Alaskan wife, who
became pretty we'll known along the
river during the brief time she re-
sided in Interior Alaska:
Mrs. Anna Book, 1850 Dodge
street, widow of A. D. Book, Omaha
man, who made a fortune in Alas
ka gold mines. was married We'd

ha real estate man, according to
word received by friends. The mar
rage took place in Lincoln and
Mr.. and Mrs. Van Knuth are said
to have returned to Omaha We'd

not at the Book home Thursday
Van Knuth is Danish nobleman.
Mrs. Book was married to her
former husband in Fairbanks, Alas
ka. where she had gone on business.
and where she met Book for the
first time. At that time Book was
prospector, but had not struck
pay dirt After the marriage. Mrs
Book came back 20 Omaha and
waited for her husband. When Book
finally struck it rich he sent gold
back TO Omaha by the bushel.
During the summer of 1914,
Books mines turned out gold at
the rate of $4,000 per month.
When Mrs. Book purchased an ex-
pensive automobile from George
REIN, she took him down to a safety
deposit vault and paid for it in
gold-so much that REIN had to
call an automobile to take it to
the bank
"Bock was a sailor before the
mast and got stranded in Fairbanks.
He couldn't get away because of
lack. of money, and he remained
there long enough to catch the gold
fever That was nineteen years
ago. For eleven years he worked
in the towns in the winter in order
to get money enough to prospect in
the summer. Then he arrived and
his mine poured out a golden stream
of wealth"

LONDON PAPERS
R|O|CULE MOVE
FOR DRY BRITAIN

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS" is the
term the newspapers and British
liauur interests have given the cam
paign to make England dry, and
@'pussyfeet" is the title they have
given those members of parliament
and American Anti-Saloon league
workers who are pressing the move
ment.
1t has been announced that there
is abundant money behind the move
ment, and the nucleus of a parlia-
mentary prohibition party has been
formed by nine members of the
house of commons to first fight for
the retention of wartime liquor
regulations while forming their lines
for more drastic action.
Harrogate, a health resort with
some 80 mineral springs, was Sc
iected as the first object of attack,
and a number of speakers were sent
there to spread the dry doctrine.
1t was also decided to pay particu-
lar attention to Scotland, where,
under new regulations, local option
is possible. Other plans, it was
announced, are in the making, and
within a year the campaign will be
in full swing.
Most of the newspapers have done
nothing but ridicule the movement,
and urge that, owing to the climate,
British men and women needed
stimulants and would never volun-
tarily relinquish their alcohol.
Lady Henry Somerset, late presi-
dent of the British Woman's Tenn
perance association, is quoted as
expressing the opinion that the pro-
hibition campaign will do positive
mischief by making prohibition ap-
pear to be the sole alternative to
q return to the pre-war position.

ton. protesting to believe that the

We find that this is not so, that other
