short annotations on others, in a fair way to dispose of his courier in the usual few minutes. Sud- denly, upon opening a somewhat soiled and cheap envelope. the con- tents fell to the floor with a metallic sound.
 The premier picked them up, read the letter slowly, then read it again, and then sat there staring at the paper with tears filling his eyes in spite of his efforts to SUD- press them. The letter read:
 They have not given you the war cross; here is mine. It has only two stars while you deserve two palms, but it is the best I can offer: here it is" It was signed: An old poilu."
 And the grand old man of France, who with dry eyes has looked upon the horrors of two wars, picked up the little rusty piece of metal, the ribbon of which is soiled by the rain of the trenches or bespattered with the blood of its former owner, and wept.
 1t might have been given me by the President of the Republic or by marshal = France. with great pomp at the Invalides. Coming from this humble ''poilu' I shall treasure it forever" he said.

ROWLING AT THE MOON Douglas Island Newst

Just what good MT. Wickersham is going to do for Alaska by an tagonlzing Secretary Lane we have not yet been able to discover. MT. Lane is willing to spend the good money of the United States in build ing a railroad in Alaska. The ter ritory reaps the benefit whether the road costs one million or forty million.
 Mr. Wickersham just at present is supposed to be representing Alaska in Congress. which, of course, lie really is not doing, but is. as usual, representing Wickershanl there. so just why he should an- tagonize a project that finds favor with Alaskans and which is of bene- fit to Alaska is too deep for us.
 Even the rabid Republican papers of the territory foamed at the mouth when their own party senators in g filibuster defeated the sundry civil bill that carried with 1t an appro- priation for the Alaska railroad. Wick was working against the passage of the appropriation all the time. What magic words will he whisper in the ears of his followers to convince them that business ahd prospects in the whole territor. should be sacrificed merely to make a "Wickersham holiday"
 Secretary Lane has proven him, self a friend of Alaska at every turn of the road. Statesmen anc business men from all over the world have united to do him homage and not a discordant note has beer sounded during his administration until Wickersham, like a malemutt bowling at the moon, charges hin with every crime on the calendar
 The pity of it all is that Alaskan (poor old Alaska, what crimes ar, committed in they name, must ge the credit for having sent MT. Wick ersham to Washington to hatch ou plots such as the one against MI Lane.

On the last mail, F. D. Browne, engineer in charge of the A. E. C. of this division. received a letter from J. A. Gyllenberg, engineer and machinery dealer, of Baker, Oregon, relative to a smelter for Nenana The letter is as follows:

OSTROM BURNED
 FR|GHTFU[LY BY
 DEADLY FLAMES

A copy of the Juneau Dispatch, received in the last mail, contains a detailed account of the gasoline explosion which caused the death re- gently at Juneau of Charles Ostrom, former F'airbanksan. Ostrom had gone to one of the upper floor chambers of the family residence, says the Dispatch, to refill a kero- sine oil stove, and fed it with gaso- line by mistake.
 Neighbors were aroused by cries from the Ostrom home, and were mortified to see Ostrom come plung- ing through the upper part of a window with his clothing aflame and franticaly roll over and over in the snow. Harry Lucas and Bert Faulkner, rushing over, managed to extinguish the flames by covering Ostrom with snow.
 Investigation disclosed that fol- lowing the explosion Ostrom at tempted to smother the flames by getting under the bed covers in the bedroom, where the accident happened. Blinded by the smoke and gas he set the bed clothes afire. He then rushed partly down the stairs, plunging through part of a window to the yard. In his frantic ply made a wild plunge. It was here the neighbors managed to assist him.
 Ostrom was able to walk to the hospital, although suffering fright fully from the burns on his face and hands. The physician, on the day following the accident, ex- pressed the belief that the injured man would be free from suffering in about a week, and that he would not be disfigured.
 The neighbors also managed to put out the fire in the bedroom before the fire department arrived. Mrs. Ostrom was hysterical from fright over the accident Ii waS remarkable the fight Os- trom made both in the room and in the snowbank before assistance , reached him. As a result of his plunge through the window he suf- fered several bad cuts on the head, | and a dislocated shoulder.

HUSBANDS WANTED

There are one and half million women in England who will never have a chance of getting married, is the statement of Miss Norah March, editor of National Health. In 1917 there was a surplus of 1,o37, ,000 marriageable women over marriageable men, and since then there have been the war casualties.
 Miss March says that emigration will remove a few Of these surplus women, while economic independ- ence will prevent women from mar rying men for the saks of a home.
 Many men and women in this age of modern advancement" says Miss March, ''are getting different views from those held in the past, and regard women's right to mother hood as supreme individual pre- rogative. Having such wide choice of wives, the question re- mains as to whether the men will choose the best and strongest women as upon the women will depend largely the future human race, since the best of manhood has been cut off The choice really rests with the woman, for with her is the right of refusing an offer of mar riage"

r FAIRBANKS LINE CONTRACTS LET

For the purpose of filling up gaps in the grade on the Fairbanks line, between camp 415. where the grade across the river begins, and Little Goldstream, and connecting up the partly finished grade, Assistant En- gineer Ike P Taylor has arranged to have this work done by contract in the shortest possible time
 The first gap. which will require 2 fill 2l5O feet long to complete has been let to George Palmer; and the second gap, of 2000 feet, will be done by J. D. McMahon; this in. cludes part of the grade he fin. ished last fall; and the third gap of 4200 feet, will be filled by Knu1 Roland.
 These men are preparing to gc over and Establish their camps neal the fills and will commence opera tions just as soon as frost conditions will permit.
 When these three gaps have been completed, the grade for a distance of ten miles will be ready for the steel.
 MT. Taylor stated that the grad ing contracts on sections of the right of way beyond this point have been lined up and that contracts to grade would be awarded later on Everything was in readiness, he said, to commence operations jus, as soon as it became possible to use picks, shovels and scrapers on the ground.
 All of the necessary grading equipment has been distributed along the right of way for the use of the contractors, and can be got at immediately after the necessity for it arises.
 The engineering parties who will look after the work on the line are already in the field. Resident En- gineer J. J. Kestly, who will be stationed at camp 423, being the last to leave Nenana for his station.

MENTAL DEFECT IN A

That society pays a heavy Pc

DIV of MENTAL DEFECT IN A
RURAL COUNTY made in an
Eastern state by the Children s
Bureau of the U. s. Department
of Labor in collaboration with the
u. s. Public Health Sedvice.
The condition surrounding the
1872 feeble-minded children IN
cluded in the study revealed the
coincidence of poverty, drunk
ness and delinquency with feeble
mindedness. Although mentally
defective children are often anne
nable to training and discipline
in childhood they are allowed IN
many communities such as the
one studied, to drift, uncared for,
into an adult life marked by bad
social habits which react harm
fully upon themselves and so
eiety. They not only tend to bring
down the general level of exist
enee in the families or communi-
ties IN which they live, but they
often pass ON q heritage of weak
ness to the next generation
The county studied is a back
ward rural county, such as may
be found in many section OF the
United States. 1t boasts no town
of more then $500 inhabitants.
Bad roads and inadequate rail
road facilities keep living cond.
