Arrangements are under way to place at once the stake in the river and this work will prob ably be done today.
 Reports from around town indi- cate also that the tickets are selling well in here owing to the warm weather and the amount of water that is accommodating on the river ice even at as early a date as this is going to cause some early guesses to be placed.

BONUS WILL BE
 GIVEN SOLDIERS:
 MORE RED TAPE

On the last mail the Local Board under the selective service regula- tions, received intimation from the governors office at Juneau that au- thorization has been made of the payment of a bonus of s6O to all soldiers who have been honorably discharged from the United States army, in terms of a certain section of the revenue act. The payment of the bonus also extends to field clerks and nurses of the army, who have honorably separated from ac- tive service by discharge, resigna- tion or otherwise, but apparently does not include sailors or other employees in the naval service of the country.
 The notice containing the an nouncement and the instructions re- garding the bonus, states distinctly that the bonus is not payable to the heirs or representatives of any deceased soldier.
 The "Modus operandi'' whereby the bonus can be collected, is con- tained in the following notification from the governors office:
 Sixty dollar bonus to be paid to soldiers discharged since April s, 1917.
 Section 1406 of the Revenue Act approved February 24, 1919. authorizes the payment of bonus of S60 to officers. soldiers, field clerks and nurses of the army upon honorable separation from active service by discharge, rsignation or otherwise. This bonus is not pay able to the heirs or representatives of any deceased soldier.
 Those who are discharged here after will receive this bonus on the same roll or voucher upon which they are paid their final pay.
 Those who have been discharged and have received their final pay witho,'t the s60 bonus, should write lett. 70 the Zone Finance Officer,
 Lemon Building. Washington, D. C., stating their service since April $, 1917, the date of last discharge and their present address to which they desire their bonus checks to be sent and enclosing with this letter their discharge certificate or military order for discharge and both, if both were issued

The discharge certificate will be returned to the soldier with the check
 It is estimated that at least one million and a quarter persons have been discharged from the serv- ice who are entitled to the bene- fits of this act, and while payments will be made as expeditiously as practicable, it will manifestly take considerable time to write and mail this many checks.

ANCHORAGE BOY WENT THRU WAR
 WITHOUT INJURY

Having participated in the des- perate struggle at Chateau-Thierry and in all the other battles of the Americans on the French front, Donald E. Stewart, son of J. NJ. Stewart, assistant railroad station agent at Anchorage, is now with the forces of occupation in Germany and is showing the Teutonic people ''how civilized soldiers act when they invade a country" His letter. which is dated December i at Bith- burg, Germany. and which was printed recently in the Alaska Rail- road Record, tells of the cordial greeting and hospitable treatment the United Staaes troops received on their way through the city and duchy of Luxembourg.
 After the war is harder work than before 1t was finished" reads the young soldiers letter, but we sure licked them and didn't have such a hard time doing it either.
 Our battalion has been pro- noted from the Headquarters Sig nal troops of the first army corps to the Headquarters Signal troops of the third army. which is the army of occupation, and considered quite an honor. We travelled across the grand duchy of Luyemburg for about eight days, and l want to say LuXemburg is the finest city 1 have seen on the continent so far. We were received with open arms and hailed as the deliverers of Luxem- burg. The town was thrown open to us. all the finest clubs held open houses, there were entertainments and dances for us and by the second day we had all the pretty girls do- ing the good old |. S dances, just like oldtimers.
 We were there at Thanksgiving and the Luxembugers, having heard about our holiday. each family in vited one or more Tanks to dinner. In the evening the counts and countesses put on their glad rags and we all went down to a dance at the Casino, which is the largest and finest club house in the country.
 But now I am in Germany and a complete change has taken place No more cheers and flowers. But We are trying to show these people how civilized soldiers act when they invade a country, but when think of some of the sights I've seen I feel like pulling my gun and shoot ing up the country bit.

POWERFUL. PILE
REMEDY DISCOVERED
Has Never Failed to End Most Obsti-
nnte Case of Piles I'm Few Days.

For years 1t has been proved that So
called external remedies applied to or
inserted in the rectum cannot cure
piles. and at the best can only give
temporary relief. Surgical operations
also do not remove this cause, but
simply the formation.
This wonderful prescription. known
as Miro Pile Remedy, is so efficient in
the treatment of piles. that even chron-
ic cases of from 20 to 80 years stand
ing with profuse bleeding have been
completely cured in from three to ten
days. Think of it, Just a few doses
of a carefully balanced prescription
and the most persistent case of piles
is absorbed, never to return.
All pharma cists dispense Miro or can
get it for you on short notice. Surely
it's worth the little trouble to obtain
it to be rid of piles forever.
IMPORTANT-What is known as
itching piles are not piles in the true
sense of the word, although this condi-
ton may accompany a true case of
piles. For this condition Miro Pile
Ointment has been prepared in such
cases it is not necessary to take the

Rare Old Silver Vessels
Found on Scottish Estate

: hoard of battered silver plItc
dang back to the fourth century,
has been found Oh the estate near
EliuLurg, Scotland, of the British
foreign minister, A.. j. Balfour. 1t
is described as one of the most re-
markable archaeological discoveries
ever made in northern Europe. Mr..
Balfour had agreed with the exca-
vators that all finds should become
the property of the nation, and the
silver vessels have been transferred
to the Queen Street museum in Ed
Inburg. The silver is said to be eX-
ceptionally pure.
The site Of the discovery is known
as Traprain Law. 1t was once for
titled area, covering sixty acres, and
gives evidence of occupation at inter-
walls during the first four centuries
of the Christian era. 1t is believed
to have been at one time the site
of Celtic settlement under Roman
rule Its latest inhabitants are
thought to have been Saxon pirates.
