FAR NORTH FORT
IS TO Be ABANDONED
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PLANS
TO GIVE UP FORT DAVIS
IN NORTH ALASKA

NOME, Alaska.-Fort Davis, a few
miles from Nome, one of the five
American army posts in Alaska, is to
be abandoned, according to word re-
ceived here. Next to Fort Gibbon,
at Tanana, Alaska, Davis is Uncle
Sans farthest northern army station.
The soldiers at Davis are to be
transferred to Fort St. Michael, AL
aska, which lies south of here near
the mouth of the Yukon river. Wash
ington probably thinks st. Michael a
better place for the men as the point
is busy during the summer months
with the transferring of passengers
and freight from ocean steamers to
the Yukon river steamboats,.
Nome does not want to see Fort
Davis abandoned and a number of

MEN LEAVE NAVY
BUT SOON RETURN
ENLISTED MEN RETIRE, BUT
COME BACK FOR LONGER EN-
LISTMENTS, 1T is SAID

WITH THE PACIFIC FLEET
While officers of the navy are grow
ing anxious because of the many en-
listed men who are asking and OBJ
tanning discharges under the ruling
which makes discharge easy for those
who entered for the duration of the
war, there is a tendency among those
who get out to get back in again.
This tendency is growing, too, and,
in the opinion of petty officers of the
Pacific fleet, it is likely to grow still
more. They say the high cost of liv-
ing is responsible for many discharg-
ed men deciding to rejoin.
"These boys who are getting out"
said n petty officer, "think they a.
get out and get some of the high
wages they read about. They forget
the wages will grow less with the in
crease of men who ask them.
when they get out, they begin to
realize what the high cost of living
They think of the old three
squares a day and the certain pay
they get in the maryland they come
back"

bushels to the acre which is about
twice NnatsSt made last year. None
has been reported going over thirty
and very little if any went that.
Grain shattered SO badly from one
to three bushels would easily have
been left in the fields. D. P. Kidwell
told the pitchers if they would be
careful in pitching the bundles so as
not to shatter the grain he would
treat the crew to water melons, and
they certainly were careful. A crate
of melons came out from town and
they were very much appreciated.
No rain yet out here. There has
been none for three months although
it has rained all around US, but we +
glad that there has been rain to put

University Well Goes Down.

The big drilled well at the Uni
versity Of Idaho, is going down rapid
ly and was 78 feet deep last night and
still in hard clay. The drill went
through 38 feet of clay and struck
quick sand Of which there was about
five feet. Below this it struck hard
clay, of a gray color and was still in
that at a depth of 70 feet last night.
No rock has been encountered yet.
The hole is 16 inches in diameter, the
largest drilled well in northern Idaho,
it is believed.

American Farms viii Yield
100000 0,vO0
Value Based on Gc-efnment Statistics

American farms will this year contribute $SS933,922,O0O to the
worlds wealth from a yield of 5~,7l3OOO,OOO bushels of corn, wheat, oats,
barley and rye. The value of the corn is 81, 768,475,000 wheat $751;
100000, oats $~994,727OO0, barley 1884, 100000 and rye $144, 100000.
These values are based on the government statistics presenting farm prices
of July 1.
According to the department of agriculture there is a promise of
2~y815,000,000 bushels in corn in reports received up to July l, while small
grains will approximate $2,S9S,000,O0O bushels when the harvest is COM
pleed. Compared with the figures supplied for the previous month this
is a loss of 1~23,OOO,OOO bushels, of which ~75yOOO,OOO bushels is wheat and
100000 bushels oats.
The corn crop is attracting more attention than wheat, and shows
unusual promise. The area is o 2,799yOOO acres, compared with 49,
$4,000 acres as given in July a year ago, and the revised acreage 10z'-
$4,000 in December. The total crop is %232O00,OOO bushels more than
harvested last year If present condition is maintained to harvest the crop
would be around $780, 100000 bushels, which would set a new record.
A crop of %1O3,O0O,O0O bushels rye, although cut down 100000
bushels by blight, rust and drought, is a record one, and 100000 bushels
above last years high mark.
Barley is somewhat of a disappointment with 231, 10000 bushels,
compared with 256OOO,000 bushels last year. The hay crop of 116, 100000
tons is 26,0OOO 900 tons over last years.
A wheat crop of 1,161, 100000 bushels is rs, 100000 bushels short of
the previous months returns, but is a record yield. The losses were due
to rust and other unfavorabe conditions which have made the crop a great
disappointment from the early promise. The loss in winter wheat was
$4,000 900 bushels, and in spring 100000 bushels. The winter wheat
yield will exceed all records, but the spring wheat is short, and is greatly
below expectations.
Prospective yields as of July !, compared with a year ago, and farm
prices follow, yields being in millions of bushels and prices in cents:

Who w the War?
Pres. Wilson Says America Did.
Gen. Hais Says Britain Did.

Who won the war? This is one of
the questions that the peace confer
ence failed to answer.
President Wilson gave the American
answer in a speech on board the
George Washington July 4.
Field Marshal Haig gave the Brit
ish apswer in an address in Newcas-
tie.
President Wilson said:
"Then America went in, and If 1t
mad not been for America the war
would not have been won. My heart
swells with pride that | cannot ex-
press when I think Of the men who
crossed the sea- from America to fight
on those battlefields."
General Haig said:
"Don't forget it was the British en-
pire that won this We talked
a great deal about our allies. 1t was
necessary and right that we should
do so to buck them up all we could
while the fighting was going on, but
don't forget it was the British empire
that won this war;"

Fighting Heart of Jack
Dempsey is an Heirloom
From the Days of Feuds

Jack Dempsey. heavyweight cham
pion of the world, although born in
Manassa, Col, sprang from the purest
type of West Virginia mountaineer
stock. The champions grandfather,
Ance Dempsey, was a pioneer settler
of Logan county.
The report widely circulated, that
Dempsey was born near Williamson,
w. Va. is incorrect. 1t is slightly over
a quarter of a century since Fl. 1.
Dempsey and the mother of the new
champion left their old home there.
Jack was born about a year after his
parents arrived in the West.
The old Dempsey homestead in the
mountains is located only a short dis
lance from the abode of Devil" Ance
Hatfield, who gained widespread no.
toriety during the Hatfeld-McCoy
feud.
Although there are still many close
relatives of the Dempsey family re-
siding in that vicinity, the present
champion has never visited them.
Both Dempsey's father and grand
father were farmers and woodsmen
and are remembered by old residents
there as fearless mountaineers who
stood high in a community where
courage was demanded of all.
At the present time there are two
uncles and several cousins Of the
champion residing in Mingo county.

got? We've got $3.50 OF new money,
that's what we've got. And it's clean
money, Billy, honestly earned. I'd
rather have that than a million that

so badly. Maybe somebody else is

II fellows like you don't go looney aud

Billy Noxon, and | know 1t.
Now. who's the head devil over
there at the yard in getting up all this
l.. w. w. sentiment? Is II a black-muz-
zled fellow they cal, ~Saunderson?"
swell, Saunderson's the smartest,
most Independent man in the yard, II
that's what you mean. and not afraid
TO speak his mind. The fellows listen
TO him because he's there with the
goods"
81 thought so. l sat behind him and
some other anarchists in a street car
yesterday, when he ought to have been
at work, and | know what he thinks,
| heard him tell the man with him
that It was about time the 'boorzhwa'
was kept from monOpolizing every
thing, including the most beautiful
and desirable wives'-that's exactly
what he said, Billy Noxon"
WELL" responded Billy, rather
doubtfully, "he meant that a working
man can't compete with a rich one
for a girl, when he can't send her
flowers and give her buzz-car rides and
such things"
"Billy, you're a simp. He meant
because he said so-that the women
ought to be natlonalized. Understand
that2 Made the property of the men
equally, like the food and the clothes
and the houses and automobiles! He
said 1t was too early to spring that
idea yet, but it would surely come"
Billy tried to say something, but the
little wife kept on. "Billy, l didn't tell
you before, but twice that black devil
has tried to pick me up on the street.
Yesterday when he got up to leave the
car he grinnNd at me and winked, and
he said out Of the corner of his mouth
as he passed: Pretty peach! Billy.
Noxon, do you want me nationalized-
for Saunderson? Are you for the boil
sheviks or for me?'
Billy Noxon found Sadnderson In the
yard next day, and hammered him for
five minutes. He told him that he'd
lick him every time he saw him.
Wherefore, Saunderson is now agitat.
ing elsewhere, and there hasn't been
any strike in the yard. Maybe every
thing is not exactly as it should be
as between labor and capital, but as
between Billy and Elsie, bolshevism
hasn't a look-ln.
