GANG PREPARES
 ID LAY STEEL ON
 FAIRBANKS LINE

Foreman Thomas K. Blakey and his men, who have been doing duty as sectionmen from 43-mile [, ;he end of steel, were brought into town last night and sent this morning across the river.
 They are now engaged in doing preparatory work on the right of way and as soon as this is com pleted, the gang will be increased and commencement will be made with the laying of steel toward Fairbanks.
 It is expected that the preparatory work will be completed in a few days and that a full steel gang will be hired to extend the railroad as fast as possible.
 Grading contractors are hard at it now and by the time the steel gang is ready to operate, large sec tions of the roadbed will have been completed.
 A new gang was formed and sent out to 43-mile totake up the work of the section and keep that section of the road in good shape.

ANTWERP ONCE
 MORE COMING
 INTO |IS OWN

] ANTWERP.-An appears tD
 be passing through a process of resurrection, although the tonnage handled since the port was reopened more than three months ago rep resentS that which would ordinarily come through this port in one week during the days prior to the war. Ships now come struggling in, and along the seven-mile waterfront the winch is heard creaking here and there, and the vision in some of the great sheds is obstructed by ur- pretentious stacks of bags of Ameri- can rice and rows of barrels of Chicago pork, and there are food stuffs, clothing and manufactured articles, most of which. however, is for immediate use.
 j The American commission of re- ] lief in Belgium had seventeen steam ships in port early in April and the American base for supplying the American army of occupation in 1 Germany was unloading five others ! Shipping men are anxiously await i ing the opening of the American base at Contich, about two miles outside of Antwerp on the Malines road. Barracks are being erected at Contich for the accommodation of 10000 soldiers at a time This is expected to inject little more life into Antwerp port. The grounds picked out for the American base 1 is a vast plain, dry and well irri- gated, and the doughboys will find living and sanitary conditions there much better than in other bases which have achieved greater pres i tige.
 1 The Americans have taken over some of the piers where North Ger man Lloyd steamships formerly docked. The early work was ardu- ous, as the piers were encountered with gravel imported from Holland by the Germans, ostensibly to repair roads, but actually to build rein forced concrete shelters, dugouts and trenches. One hundred thous- and cubic yards of the gravel had to be removed before the piers could be used. It is estimated the Germans had enough gravel there to repair Belgian roads for fifty years.
 1 Fifteen thousand longshoremen iand stevedores are idle here and the only solution shipping men find when questioned as to how the situ- ation can be remedied may be sum med up on one word: America"

JUNEAU.-A former Alaska girl, Miss Helene Moore, is teaching jour- nalism 10 American soldiers in France, according to letters received here, her former home. The letters said Miss Moore had been named an instructor in journalism at Be aume University, the largest educa- tional institution of the American expeditionary forces in France.
 Miss Moore graduated from the University of Washington, at Seattle, and later worked for a time in the Sound city. She went overseas as hut worker during the war. She is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. l. H. Moore, formerly Of Skagway and Juneau

GREAT HARVEST REAPED BY "CON'
 MEN IN STATES

CHICAGO.-The American conf. dence man reaped a harvest of more than s1U,000.000 last year, accord. ing to figures compiled by Chicago authorities. This is the approximate amount actually collected from the credulous public by professional confidence operators and does no. include the millions gathered ali nually by the various stockjobbing schemes.
 The crude devices of the old time confidence man, with his shell game, three card monte, gold brick, green goods, money changing and lemon games, have given way to modern methods, more complex, and more profitable.
 The really successful confidence men of today usually have summer and winter homes. ride in limou- sines and are aided by richly gowned women, authorities say. They are educated and far more clever than their brothers of old days, whose favorite trick in Chicago was to sell the Masonic Temple to a "rube' for a small sum, or agree to make the building turn around"
 Land selling schemes, peddling of worthless mine and oil well stock, wire tapping and flake" sporting events are now the hand maidens of the modern confidence man, who matches wits with the banker capitalist and lawyer. instead of dealing with the ignorant ruralite Nearly all the victims of Chicago gang recently sent to the peniten- tiary were bankers and business men. The gangs loot aggregated more than half a million dollars a year.
 Fear of publicity keeps most vic tins quiet, thus giving the high class confidence man a certain degree Of immunity. authorities say. They add that federal prosecution for using the mails to defraud has been a big factor in breaking up gangs and recently brought about con- viction of half a dozen leading con- fidence workers.
 Tom Brown, who came from De troit and made his headquarters in New York, was father of the pres ent type of confidence man." said William 4. Pinkerton, veteran de tective, in striking a comparison between the old and new swindlers. He operated forty years ago and formerly was three card monte man. He was known as a bunco steerer and won by fake lottery schemes and other crooked gambling devices. Then he invented the gold brick with which he toured the country. The green goods game came later and Brown had many imitators who picked up thousands annually, Wire tapping and other schemes now used developed from these old games. The modern oper- ators don't bother with small money V and often clean up s100.0OO in a single deal. The oldtimers thought sl,000 big job. -....: .::.. .s :
 Victims are not really honest at heart, for they often enter into a scheme to cheat another fellow The small town banker and business man has proved a shining mark for swindlers. They connot risk their reputations by complaining. It is surprising how many shrewd busi- ness men fall into the net"
 It is estimated that s3,0OO,o00 of the s1o,OOo,0OO total was ob- tained in Florida, where hundreds of confidence workers are said to operate, particularly among winter tourists

Curtiss Is Credited With
Originating Hydroplane

The idea of the hydroplane was sug-
gested in patent specifications by Gugo
MatuIlath Of New York, 1899, but it
had its practical origin in Glenn
Curtiss, who added floats to the air.
plane with which he was experiment.
ing over Lake Keuka In 1908. These
were placed under each wing, so that
In case Of accident the machine would
not sink. Langein and others had
made their experimental flights over
bodies Of water for the same reasons.
Probably the first to make the floats
an integral part of the machine was
Fabre, who on March %, 1910, made
the first flight with a practical hydro
plane at Martignes, on the Seine. Cur
tiss soon abandoned floats and built
boat bodies. and for this accomplish
ment he received the Aero Club OF
America trophy in 1911.

UKRAINIAN
YEAR BOOKS
Publications Have Wider Circulation
Than Newspapers


The yearbooks published by the
Ukrainians In the United States and
Canada are highly important fea-
lures of their household libraries, ac-
cordIng to the committee ON public
information. The Ukrainians do not
publish any illustrated magazines in
this country but issue a number Of
paper-covered ANIMALS dealing with an
enormous number Of subjects and
filed with pictures.
Thus one of the most recent Ukrain-
ian almanacs, which is just Off the
press, contains articles on airplanes,
agriculture, politics, international re-
iatlons, music, wireless telegraphy and
travel. And this il only the beginning.
There is one article about Woodrow
Wilson, accompanied by picture OF
the president and quotations from
some of his memorable speeches.
These yearbooks. Of which there are
about ten, have wider circulation
than the Ukrainian newspapers and
one or more. Of them Is pretty sure to
be found even In the humblest Ukrain-
Ian household.

LESSON FOR HUMAN BEINGS
World Might Be Better If Mankind
Would Copy the Doings of the
Honey Ant.

An interesting resident of central
Australia is the honey ant. This in,
sect is found in dugouts going down
as far as five or six feet. The Open-t
ng is small, about an inch across, but
If you did out one of the nests you wilt
ind tunnels and crosscuts runningI
from the main shaft. In one or morel
Of these chambers is found the truet
honey ant. The ordinary workers run
the show as cooperative concern.
They collect the honey, bring it toI
the nest, and there feed it to certain
members of the clan. The sweet stuffE
is forced into these animated pantriesl
until the abdomen becomes so large
that the remainder of the ant is fly
speck on it. The swollen ones are alb
solutely helpless, and have to remainl
in the chambers. When the honey
season slackens or the community
falls back on their cold-storage supply.

sPARRoWs' NESTS IN A SHIP
Attracted by Grain and Not at All ~.
sfected BY Noise. Birds Make
Horne There.

a large tramp steamer had been
towed into northeast coast port for
repairs. After having discharged her
cargo Of grain, she was placed In q
dry dock, situated In the middle Of a
large ship-repairing establishment,
with all the usual accompaniment of
noise from pneumatic hammers, steam
whistles. shouting of men, and other
noises common to all such works.
The grain. of which there is always.
q good deal left about after the holds
are swept up, attracted the sparrows
in large numbers, and, as If guided by
instinct, they commenced to build
nests in various parts Of the ship.
Undeterred by the noise or BY the
constant going and coming Of the
worhmen. they reared their broods
before the repairs were completed.
and the vessel sailed. This is believed
to be unique case, for although the
spprrow Is q bold bird, 1t needed some
pluck to undertake home building In
such circumstances. The workmen ad-
mIred the pluck Of these boisterous,
cheeky birds, and watched the proceed
ings to the flight Of the young birds
with great interest
