SOLDIERS LEAVE FOR FORT G|BBON

Quarter-Master Sergeant Blank enship, who arrived in Nenana from Fort Gibbon on Friday last with the army post dog team, left yesterday morning for Fort GibLon wit}t Private Andrew Varsamis.
 Narsamis had been acting queerly recently, and is said to have re- fused to perform his military duties occasionally This neces- sitated a report being made to the commanding officer at Fort Gibbon by Sergeant Dayton, commanding the local guard detachment, and Qm. Sergt. Blankenship made the trip to Nenana specially for the purpose of taking the man down to Fort Gibbon, where he will be medically examined and probably discharged
 Anoy Rau, another soldier of the local guard detachment, left Ne mana for Fort Gibbon recently without permission. His case was also duly reported by Sergeant Dayton, and it is reported that the man has been placed under arrest by wire, by the officer commanding at Fort Gibbon. He will probably be court martialed at Fort Gibbon, to which place he is now on his way.

ROD & GUN CLUB FINISH BRIDGES
 ON HE OLD LINE

Several members of the Nenana Commercial club who will form the nucleus of the Nenana Rod and Gun club to be, journeyed to Fish creek yesterday morning and put in foot bridges across Fish creek and a culvert beyond, for the benefit of all anglers and sportsmen. The party left Nenana at ten o'clock yester 'ay morning on a hand car which was placed at their disposal by the 4. E. c.
 The work of putting in the bridges progressed very rapidly, as the nec- essary material was found handy on the ground. It was a perfect day for such work, and it was more in the nature of an outing than a task.
 The absence of the club photog- rapher, to take views of the work CTS and of the completed work, was deplored, but from all accounts the foot bridges were a marvel of the constructors art when com pleted.
 As a final test of it's stability, the entire party came to rest on the last span of the Fish creek bridge, and partook of a substantial luncheon which was provided by Billy Coutts; the entire party voting him jolly good fellow after the lunch.

OLO1|MER SAYS
 ROAD WILL AID
 BIG GOLD AREA

The Broad Pass trail is going to pieces very rapidly now, according to F. X. Grant, who arrived in town on Saturday from the coast. MT. Grant made the trip with two dogs and a sleigh and light load, and while he had no difficulty in mak- ing the journey between ends of steel, he says that travelling will soon be a serious proposition be- cause of overflows and the break ing up of the numerous streams en- countered along the trail. Mir. Grant believes, however, that after the spring rush Of water has passed, the trail will afford mushers a cheap, quick and safe means of travel between the coast and h. terior Alaska.
 Mir. Grant is an oldtimer in the North, having arrived in Dawson in the very early days. From the klondike, he went to Nome, where he was engaged in the newspaper business for several years, and later moved to the Iditarod country From there he went to Ruby, where he remained until four years ago. Since that time he has been a resi- dent of Anchorage.
 Anchorage, in the opinion of the oldtimer, is destined to be the per- manent center of railroad activity on the coast end of the government enterprise. He says things are a little quie. there right now because Of the retrenchment necessitated by the failure of Congress to pro- vide funds for the confirmation Of work this spring, but everyone is looking forward to better times very soon, and 10 a solid future The town is filling up with return ing Northerners and many che chacoes, the majority of them hay ing come to Anchorage with the expectation of securing work on the railroad
 On the trip across country from Taikeetna, the end of steel on the coast division, Mr Grant met and talked with many oldtimers and he found all of them enthusiastic over the future of the Interior country. They are confident that the completion of the railroad will be followed quickly by widespread development, and they are all pre- pairing to make the most of the i'm proved conditions when they arrive.
 Mir. Grant is enroute to Ruby on matters of business an he plans to make a start for the lower river at ar early hour tomorrow morning, taking advantage of the night frost for travelling. He will be accom- panied as far as Minto by Rev. Drane, of the local mission.

WATCHERS READY
 FOR STAR EYEN1
 WHEN |CE MOVES

The time seems to be rapidly draw ing nigh, perhaps much earlier this year than heretofore, for the break up of the Panama river The warm weather of the past few days would appear to have made lot of differ ence to the stability of the river ice, and open water along the banks of the river, close to town has fur nished food for reflection and speculation on the coming event.
 These conditions have also stimu- lated betting on the star event, which is really the biggest thing in Interior Alaska-the breakup of the river Fresh chances are said to have been taken, based on the looks of the river and such indications as would presage to the average oldtimer, the nearness of the great day when the river would be open for navigation.
 All the necessary arrangements for registering the official time of the breakup have now been com pleted, and the blast of the Com mission whistle at the power plant will, as on the previous occasion, herald the great event, in due course of time.
 Under the direction of Jack Roman, superintendent of telegraphs and telephones, the final arrange ments for the registering of the official time have been made. 4 stake, bearing a flag, has been firmly imbeded in the ice on the bosom Of the river, to which taut No. 14 wire, leading to the stiff-leg derrick on the dock is attached. On the derrick there is also switch which is connected by wire to bell in the power house, with a trip attachment from the bell to the clock.
 At the end of the taut wire leaI- ing from the stake on the ice to the :lzt-leg derrick on the dock, there is hook attached, which supports a weight attached to the handle of the switch on the derrick.
 The stake on the ice is set fifty feet upstream from the derrick, and when the ice has moved 100 feet, the taut wire from the stake to the derrick will break and re- lease the weight, which in turr. will throw the switch. This will have the effect of automatically ringing the bell and stopping the clock in the power house at the same time, and the engineer who may happen to be on duty at the time will blow the whistle. which may be second or two later than the actual time registered
 A committee composed of H. B. Joseph, G. L. (Capl Hall and Harry Davis will have charge of the ar engagements for registering the off, cial time of the breakup. One of their number will probably be de- tailed to take eltire charge of the clock in the power house and will satisfy himself daily as to it's cor rectness. No one will be allowed to have anything to do with the clock until after the breakup.

with girl who is very queer. At
one tine she will kiss me and at an
other time she will act as if she were
angry at me.
1 like this girl very much and
would hate to give her up. Will you
please tell me what to do when she
will actually kiss me and sit on my
lap when l do not ask her to.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: How long do
you think a teacher ought to keep a
boy in after school for talking two or
three times in the day?
SQUIBBS.
1t is the teachers privilege to keep
him as long as it is necessary for him
to learn the lesson that he must be
silent during school hours. Perhaps a
more effective punishment is to make
him sit at his desk with his books in
side, doing nothing ali day long. He
would become SO tride of idleness that
for a time at least he would remem-
Der not to talk except when reciting.

AGED MAN ARRESTED
William Afanley Charged With At
tempting a Serious Crime.


William Marley 73 years old, was
taken into custody by the county au-
thorities Wednesday afternoon charged
with attempting to commit a statutory
offense against Agnes Heller, the Z
year-old daughter of Mr., and Mrs. w
B. Heller. AIS Harrison street. Ar
raigned in the court of Topeka. Man.
ley plead not guilty and was COM
nitted to the county Jail in default
of s2,00 bond.
Manley was arrested Tuesday by the
police upon the information of a wo-
man who said she had seen him take
the girl into a vacant house at 704
Harrison street. At that time. the girl
being unframed, the man was released
upon the statement by the girls par
ents that they did not wish to push
the case.
The stories told by Manley to the
county officials we're confused but he
stoutly denied the charge made
against him. The little girl told Hugh
Fisher. county attorney. who went to
the house i'm company with her and
her parents. how Manley had taken
her to the ten-cent store where he
had purchased some candy for her.
and then brought her to the vacant
house. which was locked, except the
door to a kind of upper cellar In
the rear. where they entered. She
said that when Manley attempted to
seize her she kicked and cried and
that, hearing someone passing by
close to the door, ManIey had evil
IDENTIFY become frightened and left the
cellar.
Manley admitted that 10 had been
at the house, on one other occasion
with the Heller girl and two other
little girls, but declared that he was
merely looking thru the house and
that he had not attempted or meant
any harm.

In the 1918 report of the chief of
the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce attention is called to the
fact that while high prices were most
important in contributing to the salts
factory total reached by American
oversee commerce last year, increased
quantities also had their bearing.
Taking thirty-three of the leading
commodities exported from the United
States, the report points out that of
this number twenty-four show in
creases, and in some instances vast in
creases, as compared with 1914. while
only nine commodities fell off. Coal
exports rose from less than 10000, 600
tons in 1914 to 26,00O,OOO tons in 1918.
There was an increase Q" more than
100000 barrels of wheat flour dur
ing the same period; oats increased
from less than 100000 bushels to
1O6,O0O,0O0 bushels. Exports of steel
sheets and plates more than doubled
from 1914 to 1918, and steel cars al
most quadrupled. Bacon, hams, beef
and sugar showed greatly increased
shipments in quantities, while other
foodstuffs and iron and steel manu-
facturers, as well as cotton cloths,
paraffin and paper showed consider
able increases in quantity.
