Goth Century Club
Activities Varied.

It's not always easy to keep up
with the Twentieth Century Clubs
activities, they're so many and varied
but they're always worth looking
into, And one Of the interesting
events on the clubs program is the
dramatic reading to be given for its
members by Lila Ahlberg Newdick
at the Cosmos Club on Thursday at
1880 o'clock. On this occasion Mrs
Newdick will read Barrie's "The

as well as with miscellaneous pre-

Later in December Mrs. Newdick is

To return to our muttons-both
balls suffered bit both from the gen.
eral hegira OF official society and from
the fact that the President and Mrs.
Wilson were obviously unable to be
present. And these are two balls
which they usually honor by their at
tendance-the first because it is one
of Mrs Wilson's pet benevoleneces,
the other because it is given in behalf
of an organization in which the Presi-
dent, as commander-in-ch chief OF the
navy, is quite naturally interested.
But the President is not going to
balls just now. They say he is de-
voting all his spare energy to his
message. There seems small chance
that he will be able to deliver it in
person, and I suspect he's not pleased
at the idea of having to send it by a
messenger in the tame fashion of his
predecessors. The vision of the Presi-
dent, just risen from a sick bed, plead
ing for the treaty and the League of
Nations-it is said that the message

obdurate Congress could not fail to
be effective. And no one can deny
President Wilson's keen eye for dra-
matte effect.

IV.-ARIZONA

PHOENIX, Ariz.-There is less unemployment in Arizona than in any state in the union, and there is a greater demand for skilled labor in this state than for many months past.
 The above information was given to The Associated Press recently b. a responsible official, who has made an exhaustive study of labor em- ployment and living conditions, not only in Arizona, but throughout the country.
 Despite the fact that from 7,5OO to 10000 men have been thrown out of employment in the state since the copper companies commenced curtailing production, following the signing of the armistice, there is still a demand for skilled mine work. CTS. It is further stated that this demand is slightly greater than the supply.
 /! The explanation given is that the men who left, foreseeing a cut ir the mine forces, or who were dis charged. all had been earning higt wages throughout the war period anc now are taking vacations either or the coast or elsewhere beyond the boundaries of Arizona.
 The copper companies, it is said which are estimated to represent from 65 to 70 per cent of the as sessed valuation of the state, gradu ally are becoming readjusted to post war conditions. The pendulum o1 employment, which swung to the ex treme minimum with the signing ot the armistice, is stated to be slowl, coming back and this, in part, i; held responsible for the demand fol skilled help. Of common labor ther< ! is reported to be a supply equa to, if not greater than, the demand

planation is given.
 Heretofore, Arizona cotton fields have drawn heavily on Texas for labor, and have been fairly we'll SUD- piled from that state, particularly when drought cut down the de- mand there. This year, however, Texas is said to be expecting to garner bumper cotton crop and It is feared that the Lone Star state, not only will use its own hands, but reach into Arizona for more.
 The statement has been made by men closely identified with the Salt River valley cotton industry that, unless conditions change, next Sep tember will find the cotton fields facing a shortage of labor running from 5000 hands upward.
 In every other branch of agri- culture the same thing is found and farmers daily are calling in vain on the government and other employ. ment bureaus for help.
 In the northern portion of the state, the seat of Arizona's lumber industry, there is reported a steady demand for help, which is meeting with fair supply.
 The building trades, electricians, engineers and other branches of skilled labor all tell of fair condl- tions with considerable work on hand and more in prospect.
 Living costs throughout the state are asserted to be 75 per cent higher than before the outbreak of hostili- ties in Europe. Figures taken from a survey in July, 1918, shoY that at that time the necessities of life had jumped 6212 to 65 per cent above normal pre-war prices. Since July, 1918, they are said to have gone from 10 to 1912 per cent higher. Comparison of the prices in the mining district stores and those of other Arizona communities show prices to be about equal. Rent rates are said to vary in different communities. There is said to be no increase shown in rents in any of the mining districts since the outbreak of hostilities. In other communities rents are shown to have increased.

RELIEF CABINS WILL
 BE BUILT ON TRAIL S

Robert Sheldon, chairman of the Territorial Road commission, re- ceived wire from Governor Riggs yesterday, informing him that the sum of 5000 has been allotted to the Fourth division for the purpose of constructing relief cabins where they would do the most good.
 Mir. Sheldon stated that one cabin will be built at convenient spot on the Koyukuk trail and another on the trail between Cripple creek and Lone Mountain.
 Two men froze to death on the latter trail last winter, and it is believed that this would not have occurred had there been a relief cabin handy, where they might have taken refuge and weathered the storm.

GREAT ACTIVITY PREDICTED FOR
 YUKON MINING

DAWSON, Y. T.-Since 1885 Yu- kon territory has shipped to the outside world S2OO,0O0,0OO in vir- gin gold, according to records of the royalty collector of the Do- minion government here.
 The Klondike sent to the great war 500 of it's stalwart sons.
 Stress of high cost of equipment and supplies, due to the war, slowed down gold production during the years from 1914 to the end of 1918, but with the coming of peace, large dredges which have been idle are expected to revive their operations, and the estimated forty-eight miles of placer creeks of proved values within a few miles of Dawson, miners say, soon will hum with re- newed activity.
 The greatest years gold produc- tion of the klondike was during 1900, when s22,275, ,OO0 worth of virgin gold was shipped In 1918, the last year of the war, recorded production fell to S1,935,82O.

WATER PROBABLY CAUSING ILLNESS
 AROUND TOWN

Several cases of gastro-intestinal disorders have occurred recently in Nenana among the Commission em- ployes and townspeople, and it is thought that impurities in the water may have been the contributory cause.
 pr. David More, health officer of this town and district, stated that the cases that have come under his observation so far have been mild attacks of stomach troubles, due to either improper food or drink. In view of the fact that these attacks first made their ap- pearance almost immediately after the recent rains and high water in the river, the doctor is inclined to the belief that the source of the trouble can be traced to the water supply of the town.
 He thinks that the surface water lis finding its way into the several wells in town and contaminating them, and that if the people would boil the water, as he cautioned them to do just as soon as the river be- gan to rise and other conditions threatened well contamination, the trouble complained of would never have occurred.
 The seepage of the water from the river to the wells in town will not contaminate them, he thinks, as in the seepage it traverses large body of gravel, which would most effectively remove all impurities.
 The real source of danger lies in the surface water reaching the wells, and he strongly urges on all citizens to boil the water used for drinking purposes, until dry weather sets in and conditions return to normal.
