TELEPHONE GIRLS POTLACH
 FOR JOY RIDE TO CROSSING

Two of the young ladies of the local "hello" office took a notion that they would like to see the big bridge across the Nenana river at the Crossing, and accordingly boarded the train which left town yesterday morning. The trip was greatly enjoyed and everything was fine.
 The young ladies got off at camp 16, which is about mile from the Crossing and later walked to the river to view the big bridge and the busy work trains passing back and forth.
 They had, however. neglected to provide themselves with passes, al though they were fully aware of the fact that the good old days were no more, and ard-hearted conductor insisted on collecting the full round-trip fare. Superintend- ent Packer, who happened to be on board when the money was paid congratulated the young ladies on being the first to patronize Uncle Sans new road They now have a souvenir ticket of their journey that will increase in value as the years roll on.

About ten o'clock this morning and once again in the afternoon the new siren whistle gave Nenana- ites a very good idea of the kind of sound to expect to hear in case of fire.
 Announcement is now made that for fires which may occur in Ne mana in the future, the siren will first sound the alarm, to be fol- lowed by the Commission whistle as follows: If the fire is in the Commission reserve the whistle will sound six short blasts, and if in town the whistle will sound three long blasts.

 DID NOT ARRIVE

Corporal Fitzwilliams and Priv ates Eckerson and Seierup, left Campbells roadhouse (Minto) at half past eight on the morning of the 2lst, intending to take the river trail to Nenana. This trail is approximately 24 miles in length. Privates Nelson and Collins, each driving a horse and double e-ender left at the same time, and taking the regular mail trail, arrived in Nenana last night.
 Corporal Fitzwilliams expected to reach Nenana, with his party, last night, but up to a late hour this afternoon has failed to show up.
 It is probable that the cold snap drove them back to shelter and that they are back at Campbell's await ing break in the weather.

EDITOR DRAWS B|G PAY;
 RUNS 3 PAPERS

Arthur Brisbane, chief editorial writer for Hearst and recent pur- chaser, himself, of three daily news papers, testified before the Senate committee which investigated his purchases, that he received a salary from William Randolph Hearst of $104, 1000 a year-$2,0OO week He said his contract with Hearst has five years to run This is understood to be the highest salary any newspaper writer in the world ever received It is said, also that the present five-year contract, is the third Brisbane has had with Hearst for the same length of time and the same salary He began working for Hearst-leaving the World for that purpose--at salary of $1,000 a week His salary then went to S1,5O0 week. and then to S2,OO0.
 Mir. Brisbane also testified that Hearst had nothing to do with the purchase of the daily newspapers which he owns in his own right, except that he had contract with Hearst which provides that any time Hearst feels that the ownership of the papers in question might be interfering with Brisbane's work for the Hearst papers, Hearst has the option of taking over the Bris- bane papers at d stipulated price. The agreement also provides that if Brisbane should decide that his personal ownership of papers inter- fered with his work for the Hearst papers he could so inform Hearst and the latter would be compelled to purchase the papers.
 Brisbane's papers are the Wash ington Times, evening; the Mil waukee Wisconsin, evening; and the Milwaukee News, morning The third Milwaukee paper purchased by Brisbane was consolidated with the Wisconsin.
 Hearst now owns and operates morning and evening papers in New York, Boston, Chicago, Atlanta, San Francisco and Los Angeles He also owns several magazines. It is said that each of the dozen newspapers and each of the several magazines are producing satis- factory profits to the most dE- tensive newspaper publisher in the world.
 Mir. Brisbane admitted quite frankly that a syndicate of brew CTS, SOIHe Ol LueiH bcTHldlS WHOSc property is now held by the alien property custodian. loaned him the money to purchase the four news papers he has taken over within the last year and half. He admitted that he borrowed money for an in definite period, and that it is stipu- . lated that there shall be no inter- est on the loans unless the papers earn it. He said the loan was made because the brewers agreed with l his position on the prohibition question. He is opposed to the American saloon and the use of "ardent spirits" whiskey, brandy, gin and other liquors having large percentage of alcohol--but favors permitting the use of light wines and matted liquors, of low percent age of alcohol content, by those who want them.

Paid Back Every Dollar.

Asphalt had made a large fortune
for DIR. Filbert, and so, when the
American Company came to be or
ganized, he advised all of his humble
friends TO invest their savings in the
stock before il had time to reach the
figures to which he confidently expect
ed it to go. In this way hundreds Of
poor people were led to invest all OF
their savings in what was to prove
one of the greatest financial fizzles
of the century.
When the collapse came DR.. Fiber
realized that his loss Of million and
a half dollars, great as il looked to
him in his declining years, was not
nearly as serious as was the loss OF
the entire savings OF the hundreds OF
poor people who we're wont TO look
upon him as their benefactor. He
knew that many Of them had been left
penniless, and felt that he was re-
sponsible for it. He called the men,
bers of his family together in council
and laid the facts before them. He
said that he felt shat he was personal
ly responsible for these losses OF the
poor, and that, in consequence, il
was his duty TO reimburse them all.
81 am getting DID," DR.. Filbert told
his family, "and cannot live many
years. want TO be prepared to meet
my God without the cries of hungry
women and children in my ears. II
will cost me half a million dollars to
repay all these poor people for the
miserable stock failure.
"My own losses are a million and
a-half, and this money will, Of course,
come out of your pockets, since you
will be deprived Of it after my death.
But think ! can face death better
with an honest name, and that is my
reason for asking you to uphold me in
this disbursement of money that was
intended for you"
The family Of the aged philan-
thropist sanctioned his honest pur-
pose, and he set about at once to repay
the persons who had bought Asphalt
stock on his advice. He drove to the
several banks where he kept his sc-
courts, and notified them tha; he
would want TO draw 100000 from
each OF them on the following day.
The next morning he drew the hall
million in currency, placed il in a bag
and drove from one house to another
where lived those who had lost their
savings in the bubble. Within one
day he paid out every dollar Of the
money. That night he declared to his
friends and his family that now his
conscience was clear once NOR, =

No Merrr Christmas For Him.

There is a man in Frederick, Nd,

Hivered. A friend told him that in
spite of the wartime prohibition act,
good whiskey was still 10 be had in
Baltimore IL one had the price, so he
delegated his friends 10 60 TO Balti-
more and buy two cases Of the best he
could find and not to mind the cosh
for he wanted his Christmas TO be mer-

The friend bought the two cases.
Each bottle had a "bottled-ln-bond"
stamp on IL and the liquid il contained
had exactly the right color. The two
cases were allowed TO go as bargain
at $50. When they arrived in Fred
erick the purchaser and the man who
did the buying decided to have little
preliminary celebration, and sampled
one of the bottles. II contained q
none too good grade Of cold tea. Each
Of the other % bottles also contained
cold tea. The man who did the buy-
ing hustled back to Baltimore In an
effort to recover the money. As the
whole transaction was illegal, all he
got was a laugh.

Correct answers TO the above ques-

The United States Department Of Ag-
riculture assisted the Census Bureau
in preparing the questions on the
agriculture schedule and appeals to
farmers everywhere to- keep farm rec
ords for census purposes.
A farm for purposes of the census
includes all the land cultivated by
single farmer either by his own labor
alone or with the help Of hired labor.
It may be in two or more separate
tracts, but it is all one farm il it is all
under one management.
The land cultivated by q share hand
or cropper, or by a cash renter, con-
stitutes a separate farm and is not to
be counted as the owners farm or in
cluded in it, but should be reported in
the name of the tenant
Census enumerators will carry iden-
tifcation cards as we'll as written COM
missions. These will be shown
promptly by the enumerators upon re-
quest of any person.
In all cases where persons are sus-
picious Of impositors these identified
ton cards should be demanded. 1t is
against the Federal law to impersonate
a Census official, and inpostors should
be reported to the authorities.
The act Of Congress providing for
the Census makes il the duty of all
persons to furnish the information
asked for by the enumerators TO fl
out the census schedules. No per-
sons should hesitate, neglect, or re-
fuse to answer fully and accurately all
the enumerator's questions. He onl'
asks the questions necessary to fill the
schedules as required by the Act oi
Congress.
Keepers Of hotels, apartment houses,
boarding or lodging houses, or tene-
ments, must assist the enumerator in
getting the information concerning
the persons living in such hotels an
houses.

YThe secret Of the failure OF some
of She pilots in the recent trans-eon-
tinental cir race can be attributed to
too much BOOZE" Lieut.. Belvin W.
Maynard, the flying parson," declared
by a statement made public a few
days ago by the Anti-Saloon League.
"If all of them had been as sober as
myself probably would not have been
the winner" he added.
Although he declared he was "preju-
diced against streng drink" the flying
parson admitted there are "a few in
stances when a pilot might be justi-
fed in using it." He pointed out that
the aviator might take drink to ''tide
him over" after becoming exhausted
after continuous flying for II to Is
hours.
Lieutenant Maynard said that many
of the fatal air accidents were due
TO pilots flying "half intoxicated" or
"with a hangover from the night be-
fore"
"a pilot needs every BIT Of gray mat
ter God has given him in an emer-
gency and to have brain clear from
hangovers and the effects Of booze is
a great asset" he added.

Drug Habits

The purpose of those who framed
the law directed against the enormous
evil Of drug addiction that the Con-
gress of the United States and the
legislatures of many of the individual
states have recently passed is very
laudable one; and if their object could
be attained thereby without extreme
cruelty to the victims Of the drug
habit no one, not even the "addicts,"
would complain. But unfortunately
the laws were framed by men who,
however good their intentions, are
ignorant Of the nature of the evil they
seek to eradicate-men who speak OF
addiction to morphine and heroine as
"vice," whereas it is distinctly dis
ease.
II is we'll known that the body has
q way of protecting itself against pois-
onous substances by forming antidotes
within itself. If the poison is intro
duced in small but increasing guam
titles and at regular intervals, the
body manufactures the antidote in an
increasing amount sufficient or more
than sufficient to neutralize the poi
son. So long as the poison and its
antidote equalize each other nothing
happens; but sometimes the antidote
itself is poisonous to the body II it Is
not destroyed by combining with the
poison to make harmless product
that is promptly excreted.
This is true Of the opium antidote.
If the opium is suddenly withdrawn,
the antidote, which is in the fluids of
the body, causes a train Of most dis
tressing symptoms known as "with-
drawal symptoms" The victim can
get relief from his agony only by a
new dose of opium product large
enough to neutralize the antidote in
his body, and consequently he takes
opium not to give himself pleasure.
but to get surcease from pain.
The cure, which is the reverse Of
establishing the habit, is to reduce the
amount of the antidote that the opium
produces by giving the drug in
gradually decreasing doses. But since
there is always slight excess of the
antidote during this process, there are
always in mild degree certain of the
Withdrawal symptoms" For this
reason the subject must be a person
of strong will, who desires sincerely
to break the habit, or else he must be
detained until he is cured by clearing
the system of every trace Of this
antidote, which will put an end to the
desire for the drug.
