While digging through frozen gravel on Horseshoe creek in the Kobuk country prospectors un- earthed the skeleton of what is said to be a prehistoric mosquito. The skeleton was about the size of an eagle of our day, but con- formed to the Alaskan mosquito of today in general appearance. The bones were all dug up and the insect has been reconstructed and will be sent out to museum. It would take some of these birds to get through the hides of our delinquent subscribers. Valdez Miner.

ILL EFFECTS OF
 HREMEN'S BALL
Too Much Dancing N0t
 Good f0r Adolph
(Douglas Island News)

Adolph Engstrom of the J. W. Martin Go. was one of the most enthusiastic dancers Wednesday night at the Firemen's ball in Juneau. He is a Douglas fireman and as a representative of the de- partment thought it his duty to dance every dance until the ferry was ready to leave.
 The morning after. he tumbled out of bed and went to his work in a kind of trance. He saw vii sions of charming girls in party dresses floating before his eyes all the way down the street. They were still floating in front of him, tantalizing him and. interfering with his work when he arrived at the store.
 He was standing in front of a looking glass in the store when one of the visions beckoned to him and he made a grab for her to swing her out on a fox trot, and the next thing he knew he was wakened from his trance by the tinkle of breaking glass and found that he had kicked a hole through a showcase.
 That woke him up for the rest of the day and he made up his mind that in the future he would pinch himself good and hard each morning after having been to Juneau, to see if he was awake and to drive the thought of those charming Juneau girls out of his mind. <;

FORGOTTEN HEROES
 IN ALASKA
(B0Sf0N Xf1aM)

In these triumphant hours, when all America is showering we'll deserved plaudits upon our vic,ori- ous bows in France, l would like to call the attention of your readers to little band of American soldiers who are doing their bit ill our own country, under circumstances re- uuiring as much courage and en- durance, and as tlne brand of patriotism and selt sacrifice as that which inspired our heroes at the front. These boys enlisted before the first draft was called. hoping ,theseby to. be given the precedence in going to France 10 fight the Hun. To their bitter disappoint- ment they were ordered instead to Alaska, to guard the Government property at the great Matanuska coal fields near Anchorage-one of the most desolate, God-for-saken regions in the world.
 In this land of horror 1t is night for half the year, and the tempera- lure is to degrees below zero. Fierce blizzards sweep down from tEe mountains and bury the land beneath 20 feet of snow and ice and raging tides in Cook inlet-the nearest harhor-prevent the entry of any ship after winter sets in, thus cutting them oil utterly 1T om the outside world, except when dog team struggles to them over- land with the mail. In summer the conditions are almost worse, for then the land is converted into a swamp in which breed countless millions of the most virulent mos qnitos.
 But, perhaps, the hardest thing of all for them to bear IS that they are forgotten and ignored by the people back home In the States. Neither the Y. M. C. A., nor the K. of C. have given them Hut or 'Canteen, the Red Cross has sent them no sweaters and socks to keep them warm, no nurse to minister to them in sickness. The library association has sent no books, nor has any other organization done anything to amelior ate their lives.
 Recently the influenza has at- lacked them, and, having no hos pital, they have to care for their sick themselves, in their own bar racks-it is difficult to see how any of them can escape infection under these circumstances. But with all this hardship to endure, are they aownhearted No. They have set fheir jaws in grim determination to do their soldiers duty where they have been ordered to stay, and there is something very fine and splendid in the undaunted courage with which they have accepted their lmost intolerable lot.-A Soldier.
 After reading the foregoing article several kind hearted East : ern ladies felt that here was an opportunity to do some practical missionary work. They wrote to the War Department praying that something be done to relieve the sufferings and hardships of the Forgotten heroes" in the most desolate and God-forsaken region in the world" and offering to do anything in their power to help -nJ;axo tho cituatiOp
