September 18TH, I was called, a.
long with Is or 80 more, to form
q raiding party. We were order
ed out across the open field for
guarding and reconnaissance. We
had advanced about 1000 yards
when suddenly hell broke loose.
We were fired upon by rifle and
machine gun fire from front, rear,
and side. We rushed for old shell
holes as a protection, and battled
till five o'clock. Then the firing
was about over, and I was lying
there quietly waiting for. night,
so that I could go back to our
lines. Just then three Germans
with drawn guns and fixed bay
onets stepped up to me, taking me
completely by surprise. They
told me to get up. was filled
completely with disgust that I
had allowed them to surprise me.
There was nothing left for me to
do but obey. They made me throw
off my pack, and took my rifle and
equipment. There | was, a Ger
man prisoner! I shuddered at
the thought, and wondered what
the future had in store for me.
The war department notified my
people that I was lost in action.
Five others of the crowd who had
started with me were also captur-
ed. fear the others were killed.
We were very hurriedly carried to
the woods back Of the lines. One
of the worst breads of the war
had become reality with me.

SAYS FRUIT CANNERY
 NEEDED AT HAYNES

John Rapp, a farmer who has | fine farm on the banks of the Chilkai river, has been in town for severa days and left for his home neal Haines on the City of Seattle. M Rapp said he had heard there was l2 inches of snow at Haines.
 This quantity of snow will injurt the potato crops in the Chilkat val ley to considerable extent as the potatoes absorb the moisture. The moisture does not really injure tho quality of the potatoes but it make. it harder to find a market for then as people prefer dry mealy potato to eat.
 MT Rapp says that some farmer. in his vicinity had very good straw berry crops this season, but that the transportation of the crop to marke' is the great problem. Poor boat ser vice between local points makes f almost impossible for the berries tc be marketed in the best of condition He thinks the solution of the prob lem will be a fruit cannery and this may be erected at Haines

RAILROAD DEFICIT
IS 100 MILLIONS
ESTIMATED AMOUNT TO BE THE
GOVERNMENTS LOSS IN OP-
GRAFTON.
CALCULATED BY OFFICIALS
Six Months Increased Freight Rates
Needed To Recoup-ShouId Con-
gress Not Approve 5-Year
Extension u. S. Loses

Washington.-The governments loss
In operating the railroads in 1913 is
calculated by railroad administration
officials at less than $3.50, 900, 900. This
represents the difference between the
aggregate amount the government will
be compelled to pay railroad compan-
les as rental for the use of their prop
erties-the so-called guaranteed re-
turn-and the net income which the
government will receive from the rail-
roads
1t will take six months more Of re-
ceipts from the increased freight rates
TO permit the government to recoup its
losses, officials believe. If Congress
does not approve of the proposed five
year extension of federal control, and
as a consequence President Wilson
carries out his announced intention of
returning the roads to private man
agement at an early date. the govern
ment's loss will not be made up.
This deficit does not include the big
sums-between S150,000,000 and $780,
600, 000-which have been loaned to
railroads to help them pay for the ex-
tensive program of improvements and
purchase of new cars and locomotives.
These loans will be repaid eventually.
The governments loss cannot be
stated exactly until the compensation
OF each road is finally determined and
until the Interstate commerce commits
sion complies figures on earnings and
expenses for November and December.
Officials believe, however, that the ag-
gregate government compensation for
all roads will be about $950000, 900,
and that the net income from the rail
road operations, credited to the gov
ernment, will be a little more than
$500, 900, 900 For the 10 months up to
Nov /, the governments net income
from the railroads, as reported by the
l. c., G. was $605, 100000.
