TOOTH ANNIVERSARY
OF ORDERS BIRTH

Members of the l. o. o, F. and their
families and friends celebrated the
Tooth anniversary of the birth of Odd
Fellowship by picnic at Walnut
grove last Saturday.
The order first saw light in Balti-
more, Md, on April 26, 1919.
The day ana the place were ideal,
and the music furnished by the orches-
ira was excellent and thoroughly en-
joyed. About three hundred Odd Eel
lows, with their families and friends.
spent the day at the grove. The Odd
Fellows spared no expense or effort
to make it a good time" for young
and old. Ice cream, lemonade, coffee
and other refreshments were served
free of charge.
During the afternoon there were
races and other sports in which prac-
tically everybody participated. The
fat men ran, and the thin ones; the
married ones and the single-steppers;
the boys and the girls; the married
ladies and those who are not yet, also
ran.
After a selection by the orchestra
Superintendent of Schools L. J. Oakes
made a short address, starting with
Odd Fellow aims, ideas, and the ideals
of the fraternity He suggested that,
if fraternalism of the Odd Fellows
had permeated the minds of the Ger
mans, they would have asked, What
can l do for my brother?" instead of
"How can | do my brother" and that
eventually the ideals upheld would
not only so permeate and dominate
the minds of America but of the en-
tire world as well.
The Odd Fellows service flag, Mr.
Oakes pointed out, had about $4,000
stars. At last reports nearly 1900
of thed had turned to gold ones, in
dicating that 1900 Odd Fellows had
paid the supreme price for world fra
ternity.
Free transportation to the picnic
grounds were provided. All who at
tended, after their return home
agreed that real recreation was
something that Ray should indulge in
oftener.

BOXING COURSE FOR
MEMS NEW SOCIETY

The new Male Domestic Science
Club, as announced in last weeks is
sue of the Copper Camp, is now
soundly organized, and plans for the
future are being consummated.
R. v. Johnson states that in addi-
tion to the household training thai
members will undergo, he is also en-.
couraging the development of the
manly art of self defense. To the lat
ter end, he announces that he will
be pleased to give instruction in the
science made famous by the Marquis
Of Queensbury, Jack Johnson and
lesser lights.
One requisite of thorough house
hold training is the ability to "repel
boarders," and with this in vew, il
is only fitting and proper that the
new club members should be versa
tile; the gentle art of biscuit shooting
must be supplemented with boxing
and wrestling.

DANCE NETS
LARGE SUM FOR THE
CEMETERY FENCE FUND

Rays first of the season outdoor
dance, last Saturday evening, was an
unqualified success. Approximately
$3.50 was realized for the Ray ceme-
terry fence fund
Despite the shower Saturday morn
ing, and threatened rain, together
with weather cooler than had obtained
in Ray for some time, the dance was
well attended. 1t seemed as though
every Rayite turned out for the dou-
BILE purpose of aiding a worthy cause
and spending an enjoyable evening.
The arrangements were in charge
of the members of st. David's guild
and every effort was made to cater
to the pleasure and convenience of
the guests Home-baked cake, do
mated by the guilds members, and
coffee were served
The floor had been thoroughly gone
over by force of carpenters, so that
the ravages of winter were not per.
ceptible to the dancers. The "Jazzi-
cans" who furnished the music, oc-
cupied the center Of the floor, instead
of the extension platform, as hereto.
fore The innovation made a pleas
ing and welcome change, as the music
was centered.

IMPORTANT NEWS FOR
DISCHARGED SOLDIERS

A recent issue of the Army and
Navy Journal carries an item of i'm
portance to Rayites:
According to a recent circular is
sued by the war department, all dis
charged officers and enlisted men who
wear the uniform will wear red
chevron between the elbow and the
shoulders, the points are to face up
ward
''It is unlawful, under the National
Defense Act, for the uniform to be
worn by discharged officers and en-
listed men without this mark, and the
offenders render themselves liable
to civil prosecution, punishment by a
fine not exceeding $500, or by impris-
onment not exceeding six months, or
by both such fine and imprisonment"
Under the existing regulations it is
permitted to wear the uniform for a
period of four months following dis
charge, but not unless distinctively
marked as stated in the foregoing quo
tation. Advices from New York indi,
cate that the war departments order
is being carried out to the fullest ex
tent. Any of Rays returned soldiers
should take prompt steps to comply
with the requirements, if they have
not already done so.

.G|LA MONSTER LAYS
HENFRU|T IN CAGE

Mrs. Robert Mundell was on her
way down to Richerson's drug store
Tuesday morning, when 10 and be-
hold! someone's pet Gila monster
playfully dragged his sinuous form
across her doorstep.
Nothing daunted, Mrs. Mundell
showed the reptile few stunts with
rope and coaxed it into a packing
box Mrs. Mundell carried it down
to Richerson's, where the venemous
beast was placed on exhibition.
Spectators first glimpse of the liz
ard showed an egg in the box with
it. 1t was denied by Mrs. Mundell
that the Gila monster had laid the
egg. No doubt this is the truth, as
Mrs. Mundell's well known veracity
is not to be questioned, but it should
be explained to a curious public how
the egg got into that box.

LINK HEARD FROM
IS IN FRANCE NOW

H. c. Link, formerly bookkeeper for
the Foundation company, who left
here early last spring to join the col
ors, is now stationed in Nantes
France.
Link will be remembered by the old
timers as one who chafed at the re-
strain imposed upon anxious Ameri-
cans who were willing to serve their
country but who could not qualify for
the regular army under the draft reg
ulations, inasmuch as the draft boards
had lower physical standards to go
by. Links only physical defect was
in his eyes, which were sub normal.
BY working hard he finally managed
to get into the service, and was lucky
enough to go overseas, after having
received special mechanical training
at the University of Michigan.
His address, in recent comunica-
tion to Copper Camp, is given as:
Private H c. Link, Prov. Sec. 1, CIV.
A. r. U. 307, M. T. c., A P o 767,

to understand that the gay madamois-
elles are appealing to him, but that
they don't quite fill the bill He will

old friends, of whom there are many
in this camp.

 GRAIN IS GOOD
BIC CHENA RANCHER SAYS GRAIN CROP AND VEGETABLES
 SHOW UP WELL.

Grant Courtnay who, with Mrs. Courtnay, was a Fairbanks visitor Wednesday, afternoon, stated that all the crops on his Big Cinema ranch are doing fine and showing up even better than could be hoped for with the present brand of weather. "If we get two more weeks, or even more, of good warm sunshine next month early" said MT. COurtnay, i've will raise one of the best crops in the history of the ranch"
 Oats and wheat, he said, were in ex- cellent condition. Some Siberian wheat, the seed for which were procured from the government farm, was said to be shoulder high and heading out nicely. q have some of the finest barley ever saw said MT. Courtnay. Ut stands about shoulder high and is well headed, all the heads being full and large"
 Smaller crops, he said, were show ing up as good as the grain crops. Vegetables were in abundance and of the very finest quality. MT, and Mrs. Courtnay returned home Wednesday evening.

 McPherson'S report on the work performed by the A. E. C. showed that the amount expended on rail road construction to March 31, 1919 was $17 7,O99,42S on purchase and reconstruction of the A. N and T. V railroads, $2,970,532 and that to complete the railroad in 1921 would involve total expenditure of $31, S94, ,523SS, which was originally esti- mated to cost $24,512,117. The pro ject as whole is estimated to cost $50 ,436,971 which sum includes, in addition to the amount named above: Purchase and reconstruction of A. N. railway, $4,S69, 9,12736; purchase and reconstruction of T. V. R. R., $445,- 609.4S; terminal facilities at Seward, Kern creek, Anchorage, Mantanuska, ESka, ChickalOOn, Talkeetna, Summit, Nenana and Fairbanks, 2,lS3, 119.96; :; rolling stock and equipment, $3,891,- 311.S3; public buildings and em- ploS ttS ltSli'IICtS, IOcil IllltS, tlI., $670, ,5S0.94; deficiency in operating revenues during the construction of the road, $4,423,99198 Allowance is also made for an accumulation of materials and supplies for use in operating and maintaining the road after construction is completed of an estimated value of $1,200,000 This is of course equivalent to a cash reserve to meet expenses after the road is on an operating basis
 Congress far from being alarmed by these figures was manifestly i'm pressed by the fact that the railroad had been well and economically built, for, congress has had some expert ence in railroad building since 1914 outside of Alaska and has some bases of comparison which make the Alas kan railroad appear to be cheap by comparison.
 But it is doubtful if the cost of the pro]ect mad as much influence with congress as the very evident fact that Alaska needed the road, needed it badly, needed it quickly, and that no good could result from delay-that delay meant only increas- ed cost and deferred returns from the investment and putting off the one great object of the enterprise-the opening of Alaska's interior to set clement and development
 Fairbanks ought to erect a totem pole to the big-minded men who have been influential in forwarding Alaskas interests.
