SlAv SOCIETY IS
ADDING MEMBERS

The American Slav Society, of
Nenana, the new pitriotic fraternal
organization which was started dur
ing the past month, held another
meeting on Saturday night and
added a very substantial number
of new names tothe charter member
ship roll. The attendance was the
largest recorded at any meeting thus
far held, and enthusiasm over the
furthe.' S1owth and usefulness of
the society was very much in evil
dence.
Among the names added to the
membership roll were those of Paul
Popovich, the we'll known mining
man; Alex Medoff, another sour
dough miner; and Joe Zellick and
Alex Kalissoff, prominent contract
ors; and others engaged in con-
tracing and mining
At an early date, when the de-
tails of the organization have been
perfected, a full list of the members
will appear in the News, and it is
possible that the membership roll
will be published regularly.
Sufficient progress has now been
made to justify the statement, ac-
cording to members of the organiza-
ton, that the society is now a per-
manent fixture of the town, and it
is expected that the work, for which
it was organized, will be taken in
hand at no distant date
f. Paul Popovch, after paying his
membership fees, donated the sum
of $40 to the Red Cross and $3.50
to the Treasure and Trinket fund.

POPOV|CH HAS
FAIR PROSPECTS
ON COLORADO CIR.

Paul Popovich, we'll known
prospector and miner of the Nenana
district, came into town on the train
arriving Saturday evening for some
needed supplies, and expects to get
away on the train on Wednesday
for his diggings and camp on Colo
RADIO creek
Paul has been prospecting quite
extensively in the neighborhood of
the Nenana Canyon, and being salts
fled with the indications obtained,
commenced the sinking of two holes
on Colorado creek recently. He has
sunk one of the holes to depth
Of seven feet and the other to
depth of FIVE feet, but has not en-
countered bedrock yet. The ground
in this region is frozen only to
depth of four feet, he says.
Colorado creek is a tributary of
the Nenana river and flows into it
at point about a mile and a half
above the Nenana Canyon. Paul's
camp is on the Colorado, about nine
miles above its mouth.
He intends to complete his holes
on the Colorado and also do some
prospecting for quartz on Moody
creek, tributary of the Healy
river.

IRRIGATION SCHEMES
PLANNED BY MEXICANS

MEXICO CITY-Reconstruction
measures proposed for the Mexican
republic include an ambitious scheme
for the advancement of irrigation
presented by Pastor Rouaix, secre-
tary of interior department. He
has asked for the appropriation of
the sums necessary to establish ir-
rigation systems in three Of the
most fertile valleys of Mexico. For
one project in Chihuahua it is pro-
posed to use water from the Ele-
plant Butte dam, on the American
side of the border.

Mr. Browne also stated that he is
very anxious to make the trip into
the Kantishna in the early spring,
( if possible, and that he would like
to see the streams which cross the
route of the proposed road at va
rious places; in flood if possible,
and at the same time make a study
of the marshy sections along this
route so that he will be enabled.
more clearly, to estimate the ap-
proximate cost of the proposed
road. From the little he was able
to see on the present trip, Mr..
Browne sad that it was not possible
to make any definite statement, but
indicated that a later reconnais-
sance will determine all that there
is to know and make possible an
exhaustive report, giving cost state
ment, etc, for the building of a
rail or wagon road into the Kan
tishna.
Many days of hard travelling and
camping in the woods brought the
party to the upper Middle river
country, the outer fringe of the big
game country, where camp was
made for the night. From this
point the return journey was COM
menced; faster time being made
over the partly broken trail, the
end of steel being reached on Sat
urday night.
While in the Middle river coun-
try, fresh caribou and Moose
tracks were seen by the party and
two caribou also were come across,
but as they were not in want of
meat, the animals were not killed.
Ptarmigan were seen on the trip;
the hunters of the party, Dorwin
Brown and Bill Sborgia, bagging
few, which were added to the
bill of fare. The party was not
provided with anything but heavy
rifles, which necessarily limited the
bag of ptarmigan.

FOOD AND FRILLS
by George Matthew Adams


WE are told that there are not enough people
engaged in the copous production Of essentials and
that this partly accounts for high prices.
We got around the difficulty during the war by
forbidding the production of nonessentals If this
done now it would throw number of people out
of work. but they would soon turn to the production
of essentials and supply the shortage.
Unfortunately, there many of us who de-
mand the nonessentias and thus responsible for
the shortage of essentials. The richest can con-
sumo only small quantity of food, and wear only
few clothes. But he can soak fortune in jewelry
and automobiles and it is the wages spent in produc
ing commodities thai creates the proteer and sends

one automobile.

The Old TIMER

Who saw many of the scnsa lionel
towns of former DAYS IN the hevda--
of their garishness and imModesty-
Julesburg, Cheyenne, V..@ginia City,
Butte, Leadville, Tucson, Phoenix,
ETC., there are missing here some of
the most notable and startling feat
ures of those places in the "halcyon
days of old, the days of gold, the days
of 49,"
One of the missing features is the
wide open saloon, dance hall and
gambling combined: A great hall
lined upon either side with games and
devices of all kinds for tempting the
Goddess of Chance; faro, keno, roul-
cite, rouge-et-noir, chuck-a-luck,
craps, etc., ETC., where frequently
thousands of dollars were hazarded
on the turn of card or the cast of
die-with scores, nay, hundreds,
Bucking The Games.
An orchestra at one end of the hall
supplying music for dancers in the
center of the floor, given over to paint
ed, bedizened creatures, and boys out
for good time," the women plying
openly vocation for which dancing
was but an opportunity; and long
bar at the other end of the hall,
where al dances terminated and all
dancers drank. But their glory has de-
parted, and they have "faded as the
baseless fabric of dream, to be seen
no more among men forever"
Prohibition, Anti-Gambling Laws,
And Enactments For Suppression
of Vice, have put them out of busi-
ness, never to return.
Of course the new oil camp has the
most recent form of amusement; the
movies. And there was an aviator, a

For the service of two automobiles

Contrasts And Parallels
Someone has likened these 81
boom towns of Texas-DesGemon
Wichita Falls, ETC., to oil boom towns
of earlier fields, mining ca lps of
other days and generations in all
parts of that great req; ON est of
the Missouri River;and in the rail-
road towns which sprang up along
fronts of transcontinental railways:
Oil City, Goldfelds, Tonopah
Cheyenne, the two Virginia Cities,
Ell Paso, Bodie, Butte, Tucson, etc.
There were a thousand of them.
! There is a likeness, but wide
difference.
Here, in the new oil field towns may
be seen the same feverish activity,
the same energetic hustle, the same
rush to make money, very like those
old and wonderful places whose glory
has departed, or which have develop
ed into modern staid cities, that live
according to rule and custom, with all
due regard to conventionalities. But

BALANCE OF POWER

THE trouble about England's six votes to
Americas one really started in the British colonies
The English do not worry much about representa-
ton at the league council. They care very little,
when the truth is told, about the league at all.
It was South African who made the stipula-
ton. The British colonies are not suspicious Of
America so much as they of England And they
do not mean to be bound by Englands vote any more
than they do by Americas. They want votes of their
ing with America instead of with England at the
council.
England is in fair way to become Bolshevik
And in the colonies they have intention of being
bound by bolshevik vote.

vision the little town was visible. 1t
is upon the southeast edge of East
land county, and the dividing line of
Comanche and Erath counties abut up
on the East and county line; with
each of the three counties claiming
parts of the oil field.
The town is upon the banks of
Hogg Creek, named after the man
who owned originally the farm that
is now oil lands, and the little settle
ment that was the beginning was cal
led Hogtown; but as it grew and be-
came more pretentious the name was
changed, and the cognomen of Mr..
Hogg's daughter, Desdemona, was ap-
piled.
Surely Desdemona is a live town.
The
Business Street Is Crowded
Constantly, it is hard to find
place to park an automobile, and
when one backs out of the park an
other stands ready to slip in; and
one has to elbow his way through the
crowd thronging the plank side walk
raised two or three feet above the
level of the street,
Stores and offices line the walk on
the building side, while on the side
next the street is string of booths
selling soft drinks and the like. One
which drew the trade of the No
gales crowd was conducted by a
striking hlonde-quite young-with
remarkable coiffure, as elborately ar
ranged as if for grand ball or a
great reception. The simple sensible
calico wrapper with the wonderful
Iheaddrcss, made
Startling Combination.
Most of the places on the building
side of the walk are given over to
more than single line of business
and in some of them there are sew
eral. Brokers' offices predominant.
Such an office usually consists of a
desk and two or three chairs inside
railing enclosing a small space-a
half dozen of them in a room not
more than thirty feet square. All
have for sale oil land leases at rare
bargains. Outside are rustlers and
canvassers at every turn.

boards, pressed metal ceiling, beav-

economy of material practiced. Most
structures have but a single floor,
and whether there is an upper story
or not ceilings are not high. A man
of ordinary stature can stand on any
floor and reach the ceiling over his

Extraordinary high cost of material
on account of heavy transportation
charges is the chief cause for this
close economy in construction.
Freight from Ranger, Eastland,
