TRACK WORKERS
MOVE STEADILY
NORTH Of TOWN

The work of extending rails to-
ward Fairbanks, north of the Tan
ana river, is progressing steadily
under the direction of Foreman T.
X. Blakey. The steel has reached
a point about four miles north OF
the river and is moving forward at
the rate of about a quarter of a
mile a day, which is regarded as
excellent progress, considering the
fact that the steel gang are COM
PEELED to load their own material
and are working under other handi-
caps not experienced when rails
were being laid on the main line
south of Nenana.
A little later. it is expected,
Equipment now being used in con-
rection with the surfacing work will
be assigned to the work of moving
steel and other material to the
front, so that the steel gang will
then be able to put in a full shift
laying rails.
The grade has been completed for
a distance of about eight miles DC
yond the present end of steel ON
the Nenana-Fairbanks line which
means that the track-laying outfit
will be able to move forward as
fast as the steel can be put in
place. And by the time the end o.
the eight miles has been reached,
contractors working beyond that
point probably will have finished
their work, thus insuring a working
margin of grade at all times.
The present warm weather is
proving a great help to the contrac-
tors along Goldstream, where water
conditions have been extremely bad
since the commencement of the sea-
son. The ground is said to be dry
ing up rapidly now, permitting the
completion of contracts which seem
ed hopeless for a time.
According to the present plans.
there will not be much surfacing
work done on the Fairbanks line
this summer, and when it is under
taken it will be slow work, owing
to the scarcity of gravel. The plan
is to complete the track-laying as
rapidly as possible, so as to pro-
vide the people of Fairbanks with
through rail connections with Ne
mana during the coming winter, for
the transportation of coal.

SOLDIERS CAN
GET UNIFORMS:
ORDER ISSUED

American soldiers who restored
their uniforms and other clothing
to the Government at the time of
their release from the army, may
recover the articles by making ap-
plication to the Domestic Distribu-
ton Branch, Office of the Director
of Storage, Washington, D. C.
This information is contained in
ia circular received on a recent mail
by Willis Nicley, and passed along
to The News for the benefit Of
A!askans who discarded their army
| clothing when they re-entered civ
iliaE life. There are several former
soldiers in the Nenana district, it
lis understood, who came North not
knowing that the war department
had decided to permit enlisted men,
ihonorably discharged, to retain their
clothing outfits
Section 4 of the circular says
amy enlisted man who served in
the United States army during the
recent war, honorably discharged
or furloughed to the Reserve since
April 6, 1917, who has restored to
the Government any of the listed
articles of clothing, or to whom for
any reason they were never issued,
may make application for such arti-
cles to the Domestic Distribution
Branch, Office of the Director OF
Storage, Washington, D. c., where
upon similar clothing and uniform
in kind and value as near as may
be, will be returned to him. The
application will state the sizes re-
ouired and will be accompanied by
an affidavit made before any civil!
or military officer authorized to adj
minister oaths, setting forth the
soldiers record of service since
April Z, 1917; the date and place
of his discharge or furlough to the
Reserve; and certifying that none
of the articles applied for were
retained by him at the time of his
discharge or furlough TO the Re-
serve; or, if retained, that they
have been restored to the Govern
ment. officers and enlisted men
who have returned the gas mask
and helmet may make similar ap-
plication for these articles, and they
will be returned if available"
The Act of Congress approved
February %, 1919, provides that
any person who served in the United
States army during the recent war
may wear the uniform after dis
charge, provided that it shall in
clude some distinctive mark to be
prescribed by the secretary of war.
The red chevron has been prescribed
to be worn by discharged enlisted
men as a recognition of duties per-
formed in the service of the coun-
try. This is now also designated
as the distinctive mark required by
the aforementioned act and will
be worn by discharged officers and
enlisted men alike. This also ap-
plies to discharged officers who ac-
cept commissions in the Officers
Reserve Corps, until called to active
duty, when the red chevron will be
removed. A chevron will be worn

"Baldy" an Old Bulldog, Efficient and
|Honored Member of Police Department
Walks Beat Nightly With
Officer Neaman-His
First Arrest Was
Fast Piece of
Work.

"Baldy," brindle bulldog,
has become a member of the Omaha
police department, and while not a
duly authorized copper he in
sists he's a regular bull" and walks
the North Sixteenth street beat"
nightly. When it comes to running
down a law-breaker, "Baldy" is
both fast and efficient.
On a certain night last summer;
Officer Joe Neaman was trying
doors on his beat and found that
Micky Mullen had forgotten to lock
the front door of his near-beer
palace at 30l North Sixteenth
street. Joe opened the door to search
for providers.
He came face to face with
"Baldy."
The dog was sitting in the mid
die of the floor his eyes shining like
big saucers.
Joe decided there were no prowl-
ers in the place.
He made friends with the dog,
who followed him from the place,
and that was the start of long and
fast friendship.
"Baldys" first arrest was made
on a cold night last December,
"Baldy" and Joe were strolling east
on Dodge street toward Fifteenth,
when around the corner whizzed a
black streak.
Joe recognized the Streak" as
Webster Smith, a darky from the
Third ward, and got glimpse of
suspicious looking bundle he was
carrying.
That was before policeman
could shoot at a man running, or
for any other equally justifiable rea-
son, and there appeared little hope
of catching the man.
But "Baldy" went to the front.
He was after the darky in one yelp
and a tremendous leap, ran him
down before he got to Sixteenth
street, backed him up against
wall, and was holding him there
when Joe arrived and took him in
to custody. 1t was "Baldy's" first
arrest.
Mullen never owned Badly" and
no one knows just who "Baldy's"
real owner was.

n nv the public. JJoon resemb.

cussed by the public. Upon resemb-
ling no bills should be introduced.
The committee reports the follow
ing summary Of proposed changes
in connection with Article |. which
refers to the right of appeal to the
supreme court:
"Some favor the creation of an
intermediate court of appeals. This
court should be between the dis
trict and the supreme court and act
as a reviewing tribunal. From this,
appeal to the supreme court should
be allowed only in cases involving
constitutional questions-as the
validity of statntes. rights in crilni-
nal cases, and others of like nature" 2"
Under the head of Article v,
entitled Executive" the following is
given 10 the substance of some of
the proposed changes recommended
to the committee:
Some urge the adoption of the
short ballot. Only the governor and
perhaps one or two other state Off
GERS should be elected by the people,
and the rest appointed by the gov
ernor with approval by the senate.
Others urge the cabinet system, with
cabinet officers occupying the seats
in the lower house of the legislat-
ure.
"Other recommendations urge
that salaries of all state officers
should be increased and made to
conform in amount to the dignity
of the duties they have to perform
The term of the governor should be
increased and the vote to pass bill
over the governors veto should be
greater than at present. Some be-
lieve that one commissioner would
be better than the present system
of a board of control.
Every comment received urged
higher salaries for the supreme court
judges and some believe that the
judges should be appointed by the
governor, while others recommend
that the governor should appoint
the chief justice, who in turn should
appoint the associate and district
judges"
Other proposals affecting the su-
preme court are:
"Lengthen the present term to 10
years; term of office should be dur
ing good behavior; that an age limit
should be fixed and retirement on
salary allowed after reaching the age
limit"
Abolish Justice Court.
Some of the proposals urge the
abolishment of district court lines
and the placing of all district court
judges under the immediate direc-
ton of the chief justice of the su-
preme court, which would enable
judges to be transferred where
dockets are congested. The abolish
ment of the justice court and the
transfer of its jurisdiction to
county courts, is urged by some.
One of the radical suggestions is
the proposed adoption of the COM
form of government in
every county, with only the commits
sioners elected, and all other officers
appointed by the commissioners.
