OLDT|MERS ARE
 READY ID MAKE
 CAMP AT HyDER

The gold and silver lodges which have been uncovered at the head of Portland canal, south of Juneau, are attracting the attention of many oldtimers in Seattle and along the Alaska coast, according to Dick Mor- ris, who says that he met number of Northerners in the Puget sound city who were getting ready to visit the new camp, which is so close to the boundary that it has not yet been fully determined whether the business of the district will be trans acted on the American or the Can adian side.
 Most of the business of the new district at present goes to Stewart. on the Canadian side of the line, but there are some threatening mud flats in front of the town and the Americans are trying to direct at tention to Hyder, on the American side. It is claimed by many that Hyder is the natural outlet for the camp and a determined effort, it is understood, is to be made to make that town the quitting point, in stead of Stewart, on the Canadian side.
 At the time MT. and Mrs. Morris started North, Jack Heath, formerly of Fairbanks, was in Seattle getting stock of dry goods together to take into the Portland Canal coun- try, and he did his best to induce MT. Morris to go in with a stock of provisions.
 On the way North, MT. Morris heard other encouraging reports, one of which came from Ed Fernald, well-known former Interiorite, who is now at Stewart. He had written to Joe Green, until recently in the employ of the A. E. C. at Camp 415 and to Senator Dan Sutherland, urg- ing them to come at once to the new camp, and they were thinking seriously of following Fernald's ad- i vice.
 The Portland Canal district is considerably off the course followed ] by Alaska steamers, so that it was difficult to obtain reliable informa- ton regarding conditions there. Prince Rupert is the nearest town on the regular line of travel, and the

THOMAS DOUBTS
 LEAGUE MERITS;
 WORLD UNREADY

WASHINGTON, D. c, July s. Senator Charles s. Thomas, Demo crat, of Colorado, informed the members of the senate this morning that he had reached no decision re- garding the German peace treaty. He said he doubted the merits of the League of Nations, but hoped the war had uplifted human morality and intellect sufficiently to make permanent peace possible, as sug- gested by the league covenant. He declared, however, that he had been unable thus far to see any evidence of such change.
 Senator Gay, of Louisiana, ad dressed the senate with words of praise for the proposed league, de- claring it to be a practical applica- tion of the principles of the Ameri- can government to the problems of reconstruction of the world.
 The senator eulogized President Wilson for his work at Paris and declared that American sentiment is demanding the ratification of the treaty.

l.. $. Dunaway has started something for the benefit of the boys of the rail road towns in Arkansas. He has dis covered that there are in the State 160 white boys with a leg cut off by rail- road trains; also 116 eolored boys The missing legs were valued very higly hy the boys parents who usually sued the railroad for from $1O,000 to $2O,0OO each for the missing leg. They seldom ever got that much for a leg, but one sure thing the boys got, or attempted 10 get, was ride worth at the out side not over 10 cents Most of the legs were severed just after dark until o'clock, when there were no doctors convenient and the boys parents were absent. The boys usually suffered a great deal more than was necessary, would lose a whole nights and the next days sleep, especially if he had mother, for she would be crying and taking on so he could not rest.
 Now MT. Dunaway proposes that any boy who is in the habit of jumping on and off the train will notify him, after first getting the consent of his parents, and meet him at some railway cross ing, where the train stops in Little Rock, and Mir. Dunaway will have the boys parents there, a good physician and pretty Red Cross nurse, when he can slip his leg under a passing train and have it clipped off. The phyician and Red Cross nurse will at once administer chloroform. bandage can get full nights sleep. Now, boys, you had best take this offer seri- ously This is no joke, for if you are sn the habit of jumping on and off movin gtrains it will only be short time until you get your leg cut off, or 1t may be your head.
 I know one mother. living near a small railway station, who had boy about grown, who enlisted in the navy when we entered the war, who was greatly relieved by him doing so, be- cause she knew that he would have no chance to jump on and off moving trains while on board ship. Now that the war is over she dreads his coming home, for he will be all the time jump ing on and off the trains, because she lives right at small station.
 Now. boys, if you want to offer up a leg, do so in style. You can see or address Mir Dunaway at the Gleason Hotel Little Rock, Ark.
 Just look at the figures following your name on the Pulaskian. You can, during July, and July only, pay as far in advance as you wish to at the old rate of $100 per year. After August I the price will be s1.50.
