everything he owned in order to
meet the expense of journey

600 cases of typhus on the slopes
OF the Caucasus and that through
out the Kuban district there was a

dying of disease, but the wounded
soldiers of the army engaged in
frontier fighting. were without
dressings or anaesthetics for even
major operations. Not in the whole
of Kuban was there a single ounce
of ether or chloroform.

most the largest contract entered in
to by the REQ Motor Car Company
in the United States.
That the REQ people can fulfill this
contract is possible by the fact that
they have over five million dollars
worth of material in hand at Lans-

for advance material that average
over a quarter million dollars a
month.
The REQ Company is concentrating

Who Has Right of Way
on City Streets?

A large number of motorists in
this city appear to be unfamiliar
with the law as to who has the
right of way at street intersec-
tions. City Council Ordinance No.
80. session of 191s-1919. the latest
traffic ordinance passed, says.
"VehicIes shall be under con-
troll Mt NIL times, and pnrti-
culnrIy at intcrsectinE high
ways, md at insections the
vehicle approaching to the
right of any driver or opera
tor shall have priority to
proceed"
This new law eliminates the one
that appears to be most familiar
among motorists, viz, motorists
travelling north and south bound
streets west of the P. r. R. and
east and west bound streets east
OF the p. R. r. have the right of
way.

ONE PRIVATE WHO HAS NO KICK TO MAKE AT
 THE GOVERNMENT
L. A. Dahlquist, Returned Alaskan, Has No Complaint and Says Alaska Averaged Up on
 Recruits

L. A. Dahlquist arrived in Juneal | on the Northwestern Sunday nigh
 and left Monday night on the Este l beth for Haines where he will bt
 employed for the summer by ths Surveying Division of the Genera
 Land Office.
 MT. Dahlquist left Alaska in Octo
 Der, 1917, to enlist in the U. S Army. He has served seventeen months and twenty days in France and left Bordeaux May II and was honorably discharged at Camp Lewis on June 10
 Dahlquist saw service with the 20th Engineers and 18th Division in the Argonne, in front of Verdun, at St Mihiel and on November II when they were just putting on the finish ing touches preparatory to taking Metz He speaks in the highest terms of Uncle Sam's army and all organizations aiding in the cause especially the Red Cross and the Salvation Army and while he was a private, first class, throughout the war he has no complaints to make or no kicks to register. He is sat isfied that the U. s. Army did a neat job and that the French people in the fight area fully realize this and appreciate it.
 Alaska furnished many men of this type, who. went to the States and enlisted and are credited to the point from which they enlisted rather than to Alaska. While statis- tics show that nearly ten per cent of her entire white population were in the military service if the num- erous cases of AIaskans enlisted from other points could be sumed up, her record for percentage of population in the service would be greatly increased.

Echoes From Washington
Washington Happenings Always In.
 terest Our Readers

L6ISSt Uur heaQerS
 After reading of so many people in our town who have been cured by Doan's Kidney Pills, the ques- tion naturally arises: "Is this med icine equally successful in our neigh boring toMns?" The generous state ment of this Washington resident leaves no room for doubt on this point.
 Mrs. ]. c. Brown. 1OS E. Thirty fourth St.. Tacoma. Wash, says: My health had always been fine until my kidneys went back on me some ten years ago. At first didn't pay much attention to the trouble and finally was SO bad off could hardly go. Half of the time was in bed unable to do my house. work. Everything I did to relieve myself failed and was just miser- able and discouraged. I was ad- vised to try Doan's Kidney Pills but had got where I thought there was no help for me. Deans helped me from the start and two boxes removed the trouble. My good health came back and I felt fine ever since Deans cured me"

ALASKA NOTES

Natives who survived the Spanish influenza scourge at Wales, in the northwest portion of Seward Penin- sula known as the wealthiest native district in Alaska, have virtually be- gun life over and with true Ameri- can pluck. according to officials of the Bureau of Education who re- gently made a trip to the village. Ninety-five widows and orphans are still being cared for by the bureau, out the rest of the population is self-supporting and have insisted that none of the orphaned children be taken away from the village. Many native marriages have been consummated lately and in nearly all cases the newly-weds adopt one or more of the orphans, the popula- tion of the village deeming it their duty to care for the little ones left without parents as result of the epidemic.

ASK me something easy, son.
That's one thing l never did find out.
You'll have to go up the street and
ask old Mr.. Ramsey, he's the richest
man l know around here"
Papa buried himself in his paper
and when he looked up again Peter
was gone.
Old Man Ramsey was on his YER
anda. A thick six o o hedge screen
ed him from the folks that passed
on the street and an ornamental
fence and heavy gate kept out the
intruder. The rich old man was
alone as he had sent his manservant
for an evening paper. He had been
very much Interested in the way
that a branch of the hedge had been
wiggling. He vas just getting ready
to call a servant to investigate when
a red head appeared through the
hedge and a small boy hoped MINI
bly, over the fence and came running
across the lawn. After that he was
too surprised to speak.
Hello" called the boy cheerfufly.
He perched himself on the railing by
the mans side.
you're Mr.. Ramsey, the rich a
aren't you? I'm Peter Palmer, l live
down the street a ways and my dad
said to come to you to find out how
to make lots of money. Would you

my own business" growled the mil
lionaire.
Peter thought about it a minute
then shook his head.

Before Mr.. Ramsey could open his
mouth Peter was climbing the fence.

Playground Notes

the girls wore MILDLY cap and most
of them had MILDLY blouses. Reap
the Flax" which came next was a
Swedish Folk Dance. This was given
by playground No. 6 n was n OF
the prettiest dances of the evening. All
the girls wore little white rep paper
hats and different colored crepe paper
aprons tied with a black ribbon. The
next dance was what all the boys a
been waiting for all the evening. 1t
was the Indian dance" This dance
| was led by Cora Campbell who had
her war paint, suit and head piece on.
She was cheered by all the tribe as
she came forward to lead the dance.
All the other Indians, who also had
their war paint and head pieces on, got
up and started the dance. After CIV
ing some real Indian dancing and
yelling they retired. This dance was
given by both Fairgrounds together.
Following this came IN English
try dance called Gathering the
Peascode." All the girls in this dance
wor big straw hats. This was given
by No. q. The bean Bag Drill" given
by both Fairgrounds was very pretty.
All the girls got out in the square and
threw bright colored bea bags to each
other. After this came q son sung by
playground No. 6. This song was call
ed Blowing Bubbles" and was led by
Lena Goldman.
The last on the program a
"Streamer Dance" given by play
lground No. 6. Because of the approach
ing thunder storm it had grown dark
early and this dance was not as effec-
tive as 1t was planned, but neverthe-
, less it was very pretty to see the girls
waving red, white and blue streamers
through the air.
The Streamer Dance closed the ex-
hibition. The crowd left quickly and
the rain held of long enough for every
one to get home without getting wet.
