OUR HOME BOYS
 HAVE RETURNED
 FROM THE WAR

On a Gibson auto last evening Al Pauli. Jr. and Fred Pauli arrived from the Outside after seeing ser. vice in the military camps. The boys were too busy greeting old acquaintances and in getting a square meal to have time to do much talking to the press.
 They were looking fit and fine, having mushed in over the trail as far as the fox farm, from there the trip was made by auto. Fred, who sustained a broken leg during his participation in a football game. was able to negotiate the entire distance without any trouble and the ser. vices of his big brother Al were not needed in assisting him home.
 Both of the boys returned with the rank of corporal. Fred was 8 mem. Der of Go. "H" 18th. regiment of in. fantry. Al was with the 213 engin. eers.

STEEL CREEK
 SHOWING PAY

It Is reported by a reliable party who arrived recently from Steel creek that the old nearby creek promises to become a producer the coming season. For some days past the Howell drill has been working there putting down prospect holes and at last succeeded in finding the pay.
 The informant states that exceed ingly good pay was found which will go in the neighborhood of 60 cents to the pan. Several pieces of coarse gold were also found in the dirt taken out by the drill. Contrary tc expectations the ground was frozen to bedrock instead of being wet Above and below the place where the drill was operating the ground has been reported as wet, which is the cause of that creek not being exploited to any great extent.

BONDS ISSUED
 TO GET FUNDS
 FOR RAILROAD

WASHINGTON, April 1.--(P)-In order to supply the railroad admin istration with funds with which to make necessary improvements and purchase needed equipment for the roads now under government control. the war finance corporation has de- cided to issue bonds to the amount of $200.000,000. These securities will be of short term duration and will carry the usual high rate Of interest of five percent.
 IL is believed that the proposed issue will prove exceedingly attrac- tive to heavy investors looking for high grade securities with good pre- miums attached The money for the redemption of these bonds will have to be appropriated by the next con. gress
 The failure of the last congress to make the necessary appropriation for the railroad administration caused much condemnation turnout the country and created an unusually embarrassing situation for the otti cials in control of the transportation systems. leaving them unable to meet heavy demands being made by an evergrowing amount of traffic

MAIL ROBBER
 IS CAPTURED;
 so IT IS SAID

For some time past matters have been lying dormant regarding the robbing of the mails from the inte. rior when near the city of Tacoma Inquiries have been going on quiet. ly as to what mail had been taken and after much correspondence and wiring the matter is becoming strengthened out.
 In the robbed shipment were four teen one hundred dollar bonds which had been subscribed for by Miss Kee' nan. then superintendent of the Fair. banks public schools, which were to have been delivered to her in Fair. banks. Miss Keenan left for the Out side before the delivery of the bonds could be made and a friend sent them to her by registered. mail to her address in the states. These bonds were in the shipment of mail that was robbed.
 During the course of the inquiry correspondence was had with T. F. Fitch, postoffice inspector, at the City of Seattle. The last letter from the postal inspector advises that the mail shipment left Cordova on the steamer Victoria on December 23rd The advice stated that hundreds of letters had been rifled and Miss Keenan's was among the lot. The letter also advised that the person who committed the robbery had been arrested but who it was was not stated. The outcome of the investi gation and the recovery of the prop erty is the next thing in connection with the robbery case that will be awaited with interest by the public

IS
 GIVEN THANKS
 BY HIS ORPHAN

A year ago Bob Gum. the well known oldtime wood dealer. adopted two French orphans. Emile Desplo bins and his little sister Suzanne At that time Bob donated two cords of wood from his camp up the Little Cinema, prot 1t to town and rallied 1t for the benefit of his two French orphans, the result netting him abou, $77.00. This money was sent to the mother for his little friends, the re ceipt of which was acknowledged and the donor much thanked.
 The past winter Bob donated an other two cords for his little Emile and Susanne, whose father gave ur his life for France. This time James Mcintyre, the pioneer rancher and farmer, donated his team and services in hauling the wood the ten miles from Bob's camp to town, Again the two cords were raffled. netting about the same sum as the previous raffie. and he also sent the money to the widow.
 Below Is a letter which Bob re ceived on the last mail from his dear little friends in France and in which 1t will be noted that they mention having received only forty five francs. which Is nine dollars and a half in our money. Bob received a letter from the mother about the same time, acknowledging the re ceipt of the money.
 The amount stated shows that the orphans have received payments for three months, the Committee in Paris. of which Marshal Joffre is president. making payments month ly. Even tho the adoptor pays the full amount for an orphans care for one year at once. monthly payments only are made by the Paris Commit tee. and in this way they geo that

ARCTIC MEN IN
 FAIRBANKS; TO
 GO OVER TRAIL

Sunday afternoon Captain Alexan der Allan and Leo Wittenbers, well known men of the Arctic, arrived ir Fairbanks on their way to the Out side. In making the trip from the Arctic to Fairbanks they established something of a record for northern travel. Making their way over an unbeaten trail they accomplished the distance from the Arctic coast tc Fort Yukon in 16 days and to Fair banks in 2S days. travelling . dis tance of approximately 700 miles.
 The men had a fund of stories and experiences to relate. all of which would require considerable space. Al. Ian passed thru Fairbanks little over year ago from the northern district and later returned via this city. Wittenberg is trader and lives at Banksland, 325 miles northeast of Herschel Island. They report that the entire northern section was free from the influenza, no cases being reported.
 They also verify the report that was printed that an attempt had been made by some of the members of the Stefansson party to float to the Si. berian coast on a cake of ice. The men had as their craft 8 sheet of ice some fourteen miles in length and about seven miles In breadth. During the course of the travels of the ice cake 1t went about one hun dred miles to the eastward and float ed back and also drifted about sev. enty.five miles In northerly direc. tion. The party left the Arctic shore near Cross island and landed be- tween that island and the Colville river. Those In the party were Storker Storkerson. who was in charge. August Manik. Adelbert Gu mar, Martin Killen, Mike Knight and one native. For food the men had only polar bear and seal. It was reported that the men and the six. teen dogs which were taken along were all fat and in good health when they landed on the Arctic coast from their drifting about. The ice sheet was an immense affair of mountain ous masses and many bears and seals were killed.
 Of themselves the two had little to say excepting that as soon as the business which called them to the Outside was finished they would re- turn to the North and to their occu. pations. Allan will leave today with his dog team for the coast; Witten. berg will leave by the Brewer stage Wednesday.

prevent the championship from being decided this year.
 The abandonment of the game comes as a big disappointment to the local followers of the ice game, who were backing their team to win. The score of games stand two all now. Seattle ran away with the first two contests. but the eastern champs came back strong and man. aged to even up matters in the last battle. The same teams contested for the Stanley cup two years ago and Seattle emerged victor. After the series of two years ago was concluded in Seattle the two clubs went south to San Francisco and staged several exhibition games.
