 It is expected that due announce ment of the scheme will be made as soon as it has been perfected.

FRISCO TOUGHS
 STEAL JEWtlRY IN NIGHT RAID

SAN FRANCISCO, May PA downtown jewelry store, situated in the heart of the business district, was relieved of jewelry and coin to the value of fourteen thousand dollars, in a bold raid which took place early last evening.
 The three men who committed the theft, who apparently had awaited a favorable opportunity to make their raid, entered the store when only a single clerk remained on duty. While one of the robbers remained on guard at the door cf the store, the other stood the clerk up, bound and gagged him, and then quickly emptied the contents of numerous jewel trays and the cash register into canvas sacks which they had brought with them for that purpose. This done, they left the store quietly and disap- peared, and thus far have eluded the detectives who are searching for them.

OFFICER CHARGES HUNS WITH STEALING
 RED CROSS PARCELS

SYDNEY, Australia. - Charges that Germans who handled Red Cross parcels for Australian soldiers in German prison camps robbed the prisoners of their Red Cross parcels are made by Captain Al eYander Donaldson of the steam ship Matunga. He was captured when the Matunga was taken by the German raider Wolf and was sent to a prison camp in the Hartx mountains.
 "The officer in charge of the camp was an old rogue" said Cap tain Donaldson. He seemed tc make a business of robbing us of our Red Cross parcels. About 40 per cent of them went astray be- fore the armistice, and about 80 per cent after it, owing to disor- ganization in Germany. The Fritz who had the job of driving from the station to the camp with our parcels had habit of dropping a lot of them of at his shop on the way up."

W|CKERSHAM T PLANNING WORK;
 SURE OF SEAT

SEATTLE, May 24.-Confident of his ability to convince Congress of his election as delegate from Alaska, Judge Wickersham is pre- pairing a program of legislation for Alaska which he will present to the lawmakers after his contest has been disposed of.
 His first bill, he says, will be one providing for the appropriation of four million dollars for the con- tinuation of work on the Alaska railroad.
 Another measure, which he has under consideration, will pave the way for the attraction of soldiers to homestead lands in Alaska.
 Regarding the coal and oil leas- ing bill, which died in the late Congress, Wickersham expresses the belief that this measure will be revived during the present session and approved.

with them, he pointed out, and with out some means of determining the value or content of ores submitted to them for examination, their serv- ices would be of little value to the territory
 The letter stated, however, that the geological survey would have a large party in the field in Alaska this year and would render material assistance, in that way, to the de- velopment of the country.
 With regard to a special summer mail service between Nenana and Fairbanks, which has been paid for in the past by the Nenana and Fair banks Commercial clubs and the Alaskan Engineering Commission, the secretary read a letter from Chief Clerk Wetzler, of Panama, requesting information relative to the cost of such service as has been requested, and promising to take the matter up with the de- partment.
 The only up-river service now provided by the postoffice depart ment is weekly trip between the two towns, under contract with the White Pass. This arrangement is very unsatisfactory and has put the people of Nenana to much trou- ble and expense in past years 10 provide an auxiliary service. The mail coming to Nenana from Fair banks during the summer months, Chairman Mcdonald explained. does not include Outside mail, for the reason that Nenana has not been included in the over-the-trail con- tract between Fairbanks and the coast. Nenana's mail from the States will come by way of steamer from the upper Yukon.
 The matter of keeping 9 con venient record of club accomplish ments was brought up by ,he char man and discussed at considerable length, the decision finally being reached to leave the matter in he hands of the secretary, with ;nstruc- tions to prepare a special report at least once every three months. These reports will be given pub licity for the purpose of keeping the public of Nenana informed re- garding the activities of the organ ization. The club, it was pointed out last night, has accomplished a great deal during the short time it has been in existence, and it is be- lieved that an occasional review of progress made will help to swell the membership of the organization and render it's work easier by insuring cooperation outside the ranks of the club, and spurring the mem bers to greater efforts.

was held for demobilization.
 Shortly after the entrance of the United States into the war, MT Parks, who was at the time mineral surveyor and special agent of the general land office at Fairbanks, was commissioned first lieu tenant of engineers and was sent to Camp Lee, Virginia. He was afterwards transferred to Camp Humphreys, near Washington, D. C., and attended the war college, taking a special course in gas as used in warfare. From this camp he was promoted to the rank of captain and was sent to Camp Sheridan as chief gas officer.
 At Camp Sheridan he was en- gagged in putting officers through a course of training in gas, prepara- tory to being detailed for duty overseas.
 Captain Parks met a lot of of ficers of the Allied armies while at Camp Sheridan, and from them gleaned a lot of interesting details of the fighting in progress on the European battlefelds. He is glad of the experience gained in the army and of the fe in the big cantonments, and says he wiY go back to the army again whenever his services may be required. The Alabama climate was rather trying, he says: it was hot, damp and sultry, and, from an Alaskan's point of view, was not all nice, and not comparable to the Alaskan climate He is glad to be back in Alaska for several reasons, and he says Alaskans are much better off than the people in the States.

RANCHER
 EXPECTS WHEAT CROP

Paul Rickert sowed 12-acre tract on his ranch near Fairbanks to wheat, on May 9th, which has now come up. Reports of those who have seen it, indicate that the stand is excellent and a bounteous crop is expected.
 Last year, Mir. Rickert sowed only one acre of wheat, and the results were so good that he de- cided on extending its cultivation this season.
 He will probably go in for wheat more extensively, following up the success achieved on his 12-acre tract.
