TWO DONATIONS
 FOR FATHERLESS

The fund for the Fatherless Chil- dren of France received another ad- dition yesterday by the donations of the Pegues tots, Jack and Jim, and from A. M. B.. both contributors handing in the sum of three dollars each. With the addition of this amount the fund now amounts to sSS.50.
 The indications are that the fund will amount to good sum for this month as all of the remote districts will report. It is likely. however. that owing to the trail conditions and the uncertainty of the mail move ments that the distant places will not be received in time to be ac. knowledged this month. Interest in the fund has not Jagged even tho the war seems at an end. The father less ones are still remembered by their friends in the interior and this summer will evidence just in what estimation they are held by those who are interested in their welfare.

FAIRBANKS CK.
 SHOULD ENJOY
 A GOOD SEASON

That there Is some truth in the saying that there is more gold in the numerous worked out" creeks of this camp than was taken out is being oxemplified on Fairbanks creek these days. This creek, at the head of which are 8 number of very prom ising quartz propositions and where are located several small mills which have produced and are still grinding out considerable gold since prospectors began to pay attention to the hard-rock possibilities of the camp, Is one of the very first creeks on which pay was located here and has been steadily producing the vel. low metal since 1903.
 Open-cut and scraper operations have been carried on above discov. cry on large scale for several years and for many years several miles of large dumps made their appearances during the winter months. During the sluicing season these large plants worked big crews. of two shifts, hoisting the rich ground directly into the sluice boxes. This year two

0LDTIMERS ARE NOT SATISFIED
 WITH OUTSIDE

Among the many oldtimers who re- gently returned from wintering Out side were J. Dubuque, the Tolovana mining man. and George Blonde, who mined last summer on GOldstream. The two came in from Chitina with dog team, making the trip in sev- en days.
 After having spent some time on the great Outside both express them selves as having had all of the pleas ures of the states they wanted. for time at least. According to them there was a time, before the big war, that a man could make money by leaving Alaska and spending the winter in the states but that things have undergone a radical change. The cost of living has become great CT and all other conditions have been reversed, instead of things being cheaper they are now higher. One of them, in speaking of a meal he had just enjoyed in a local restaur- ant. laughingly remarked that in or der to get as much butter in any Seattle restaurant one would have to go there about five times and eat a meal.
 MT. Dubuque will continue his jour- ney to Brooks, where he has mining interests. after spending a few more days in Fairbanks.

AUTO ACCIDENT
 A SLIGHT ONE

Yesterday afternoon shortly be- fore five o'clock what might have been serious auto accident was narrowly averted thru the quick work and presence of mind of Hal Bailey in handling his delivery truck.
 The auto was making the turn oil Front street onto Cushman, proceed ing at slow rate of speed, when g delivery rig was encountered. In steering clear of the delivery rig con- trol was lost of the machine thru 8 fault in the steering gear, a bolt connecting the steering rods having become jolted out of place just be- fore tue turn was made. In trying to take the street again the auto would not respond to the wheel and head cd straight for he Woodward realty Huca. 4 small boy was immediately i1 front (. the auto and would un- ..uubtedly have been struck by 1t but Io1 the quick action of Bailey in shl ting off the power and applying tue brakes. Negligence on the part of a repairing mechanic is the req SC attributed for the loss of the bolt. 1t not being fastened in the proper manner before the car was released for use.

other facts alleged.
 MISSED TRUE REASON

mlooEO RUE h6ASON
 Personally I would like to state that Wickersham missed entirely the true reason for all delay and the failure to complete the Alaskan rail road within the time and the origin. al appropriation. IT IS IN THE LARGEST MEASURE DUE TO THE DRlBBLING METHOD OF MAKING APPROPRIATIONS. which has caus- ed both delay and loss.
 Had the original appropriation of $35,000,000 been made all in lump in 1914 and authority given to go ahead with a logical plan. the work would have been so nearly done within three years or the or. iginal estimate for time. that the sub. seQuent disturbance Of prices in la. Dor and materials due to the war would not have affected the work. It would have practically been com. pleted by the end of 1917. The com. mission would have owned rails and equipment in Alaska costing approxi. mately one-half of what 1t now costs to place them there.
 Will the gentlemen of congress cast aside prejudice and do fair? The Alaskan Engineering commission has completed two.thirds of the pro. ject under the difficult conditions of the original appropriation. It is up to congress to appropriate $17.500, 900 in order to complete the project.

FRED JOHNSTON
 TO COME HOME
 AT EARLY DATE

Fred Johnston, the Fairbanks boy who was discharged from the navy on March 18th, will return home in the near future. At the present time he is taking in the sights of Seat tie, making his headquarters with Harry Christoffers, 1907 L. c. Smith building, at which address letters will reach him.
 Fred's father recently received a bunch of letters from him which were written since he returned from killingholm, on the east coast of England. Killingholm was taken over from Great Britain by the United States to be used as a training sta tion for men in the seaplane service. The main business of the force sta tioned there was to patrol the air and sea scouting for Zeppelin raid CTS. The station was also used as a base of operations and also as a con- struction headquarters. At one time as nigh as 100 seaplanes were sta toned there.
 As floating base for use of the seaplanes there was stationed one of tho largest war vessels of the Brit lsh navy, the dimensions of the mon. ste- ship being given as $40 feet in length with an S5-foot beam. It vas C rable of developing speed of 40 miles an hour and could cross the Atlantic ocean in three days.
 When Fred was shipped home i, was on the U. $. s. Leviathan (form er,y the German vessel Fatherland). This ship Is 6 monster; 952 feet long with a beam Of 100 feet and hes iou1 teeu decks. Wien the vessel ar. riyad at Killingholm 1000 men of the American ferces stationed there were taken aboard and the ship proceed. ed to Brest, France, where 11,00O more were taken aboard With 6 crew of 2,200 men over fifteen thou sand souls were carried across the Atlantic in the former German yes. gel, it arriving in New York harbor oa December 18th.
 Or arriving at the American port Fred secured 2c,d'y furlough and went to his old home in the upper part of the State of Michigan and h"d ar enjoyable time. On his re. turn east he went to Pullman Bay station. New York, where he spent fpw days. Later hu went to Charleston and thence on to the Pen sacols station and from these to se attle to be discharged, where he now is. Just when he will head for the iutericr is not known but he will se here before tic sums Is well advanced.

 SERIOUSLY ILL

Mrs. Thomas Tonseth. mother of Corporal Einar Tonseth now station ed at Fort Gibbon, was advised by wire by the commanding officer at the post that her son had been i'll for the past three days from an in- testinal trouble. the nature of which was not quite understood. Mrs. Ton. seth will be advised should her sons condition not improve. This is the first case of sickness from any cause to be reported from Fort Gibbon re- garding the health of the boys from Fairbanks.
 After leaving Fairbanks Einar was placed in charge of the canteen and promoted to the rank of corporal, filling the office satisfactorily.
 The news of his illness will be re- ceived by his numerous friends here with regret for Einar was well liked by all who knew him. The wishes of the camp are that he. will recover quickly.

SAD NEWS FOR
 MRS. -CASKEY


 Yesterday afternoon Mrs. J. liar mon Caskey was advised by wire of the death of her father, MT. Richard Penketh, in Oakland, California, who was killed in an automobile accident on March 25th. The message advis. ing of the death was sent by Mrs. Jack Robarts. her sister. who is liv- ing at Anchorage. Mrs. Robarts was advised of the death by her husband. who is on the Outside.
 The details covering the accident are lacking and until the mails of that date are received 1t will not be definitely known under what circum- stances 1t occurred. The sympathy of host of friends is extended to Mrs. Caskey in her hour of bereave- ment. MT. Penketh at the time of his death was seventy.two years of age.

dredges, whoch are operated by an English company. are taking Y'' the gold that was left where th>. oldtimers worked out" the ground, one of the dredges having been work ed for several years. The new mon ster gold-ship which was installed on the creek last year and which will be operated with oil as fuel tLis year, will begin operations on some of the worked-out old claims and will no doubt give a good account of itsei. by freeze-up time. .-
 Billy James. who was on the cree. in the early days, took out a wind lass dump the past winter from a pillar of virgin ground left by the getrich-Quick oldtimers on the ric.. and shallow ground of the old dis covery claim that promises to clean up well.
 Down on 12 below there are at present two large plants which al ready have considerable ground blocked out and will put on large crews as soon as the sluicing season begins.
 There is a vast area of gold.bearing ground at the mouth of the creek which has proven by considerable prospecting extending over period of a number of years to be of too low.grade for the drifting method and other adverse conditions. prin. cipal of which is the existing de creased value of gold. AS this ground is but 50 feet to bedrock and no water to hinder operations, and as economists agree that the value ot gold is bound to increase to a con- siderable extent in the near future, owners of claims on the lower end of this old creek have every reason to be optimistic, especially so when more practical and economic mining methods will soon be developed whereby the enormous area of low, grade placer known to exist in this section can be worked.
 Taking it all in all old Fairbanks creek, with its quartz operations. it's dredges and other methods of mining should be somewhat lively this sea son.

Ever since the snow disappeared from the court there have been quite a few mem. bers of the club taking advantage of the warm weather and engaging in a set or two. The juvenile tennis players are also enjoying themselves during the hours after school. both courts being taken by the athletic ally inclined students.

RIVER TRAIL NOW IN
 EXCELLENT CONDITION

Altho the land trail between Fair banks and Nenana is practically out of commission the old reliable river trail is still in good condition. Frank Davis, who arrived in town yester- day from his camp six miles below Cinema, reports that he has never seen the ice more suitable for travel. Just rough enough for footing for the dogs and smooth enough for good sledding 1t is ideal for travel ing. Those who are making the trips to the railroad town report that the sledding is good, keeping to the ice all the way.

 believe that the administration of the Alaskan Engineering commits sion is entirely free from all political favoritism. Appointments were not made on the strength of political representations.
 CHARGE OF DRUNKENNESS
 The last specific charge of Wick ersham is one in which he descends into personalities merely on the evil dence of letter from one Rogers which he quotes as proof. He con- demns this chief engineer as drunk ard which clinches his incompetence and worse. If the said Rogers is the one l have in mind, 1t Is certain that the whiskey. which he naively says was offered to him by the chief in the privacy of his room. was not re. fused. Considering that at that time the interior of Alaska was still wet. with Fairbanks close by and the town of Nenana was dry only by reg ulations of the A. E. commission, to which Wickersham had objected, it is not surprising that some moisture leaked into Nenana During my en. tire period of four years service for the Engineering commission no of. ficials were ever intoxicated on the work. AS to the other personal charges made, Wickersham has the word of Rogers for these. This proof
