HAD EXPERIENCE OF
 HIS LIFE TIME

In the recent mail was received a letter from Rod Donaldson. formerly of the Fairbanks fire department but now on board the U. s. s. Panama. The former Fairbanksan had joined the navy and at the time of writing was third officer on board the ship, which is a position of responsibili. ty. According to the certificate held by him he can ship as third officer on any ship in the world.
 Many happenings on land and sea are recorded in the letter aad es' pecially interesting Is his narration of the blowing up of a German sub marine. Last September while on the way overseas one of the ships in the fleet of which the Panama was a unit was torpedoed without warning. Some British destroyers which were cruising in the vicinity at once made for the place where the ship had been torpedOed and a captive balloon was sent up from the ceck of one of them. The position of the submarine was signaled to the destroyers, one of them passing di rectly over the underseas boat. drop. ping three depth bombs when in posi-. tion. Within short time there was a violent upheaval of the ocean and Il column of water shot skyward for at least two hundred feet. In the mass of water could be seen con siderable wreckage and the waves were covered with oil. It was evi. dent the Fritz got his."
 One other incident showing the re- ception of the news In Brest of the signing of the armistice is given. Rod states that his ship was in that port when word was received that Germany had expressed desire for peace. Brest became a city of cheer ing, laughing and singing people. Every man that wore a uniform was wined and dined and nothing was too good for him. The girls and women would march down the street and when they came to a man in uniform he was surrounded and could not get away until he had kissed one of the crowd. Finally it became neces. sary for the surrounded one to kiss all ot the girls. Rod said that he "out.Hobsoned Hobson." The only time he kicked over the salutations was when two French soldiers tried the osculation salute. When his ship left that port, a week later, the cele- brating was still going on.
 Rod is well pleased with his naval position and will stay in the service for some time longer as officers are scarce He gives his best regards to all his friends in the interior and will return to the northland when he leaves the service.

EDITOR TAKES POKE AT PLAN

DENVER. April l. R John Brisben Walker, of this city, former ly magazine editor of national ranown. in speech here today sharply attacked the proposed lea que of nations plan. He character ized the league of nations as 6 league of financial oligarchs which would make war upon all peoples seeking freedom. He severely criti. cized President Wilson for his fail. ure to take the United States into his confidence before he sailed for Europe. The address of MT. Walker was listened to by goodsized au dience without any display of enthu siasm and apparently without en' dorsement.

PIX" WOOD IS
 ON DUTY AGAIN
 FROM VACATION

Writing to & friend in Fairbanks "Pix" Wood states that he Is again on duty after enjoying seven day leave of absence, during which time he went down to Val Les Bain, in Southern France. He states that it was hard to return to the camp af- ter enjoying the luxuries of the es. tablishments he came across during his leave. At the time of writing he was stationed at a casualty camp by the name of St. Afghan. "St. Agony" is the way some of the men expressed it.
 Frank relates his experience with the often-heard-of "cooties." One day. after hard struggle, he sue ceeded in capturing one of them and found that 1t was wearing three ser vice stripes and a wound stripe. which shows that even the bane of the trenches has adopted the soldier idea.
 In describing the conditions exist. ing at the camp at which he is sta toned he remarks that 1t was 8 great change from the luxuries of the bath. cafes and other accommoda. tions at Val Les Bain to his present surroundings. where he stood knee deep in the mud with sixty thousand other men in uniform waiting to re. ceive his rations of 'corned willy" and its pal "slum." Frank got 80 hungry that the line looked to be at least ten miles long before he could be served. The men sleep h barracks with earth floor and tuN in at attention" that Is. they sleep with their clothes on because they would be- carried oil by the "cootie. during the night if they undressed.
 Many other items of interest were contained in the letter, which is along similar lines to the one re- ceived few weeks ago. Just as soon as he Is released he will head for the northland. which he misses very much. He extends his best regards to his friends in the interior.

LOCAL CREEKS MAKE SHOWING
 THIS SUMMER

The coming summer will wit ness considerable open-cut mining on upper Goldstream and Pedro, judging from the large piles of cordwood which have been placed on the claims of these creeks and also other preparations which have been made It Is believed that the production of the yellow metal this year will equal 1 that of last year.
 Harry Atwood. 1t Is reported, will work his claim on as large 8 scale this year at last. Bleecker & Collins on 10. will also be up to their last years work. Leo Rogge. on Q. will operate with as large a crew as last summer. while above Rogge Henry Wagner, who uses several large boilers in his scraping operations and consumes about 1000 cords of wood during the short season. will work the usual crew there.
 James McPike. on Pedro. is at pres. ent having wood hauled for the com. ing seasons open-cut work on his claim.
 Charles Gius will also work his big open-cut on Gilmore creek. Sev- eral outfits are at present sniping out small dumps along old Pedro. There Is one lucky miner on that creek-Charles Krisha. While he was drifting on the old Deruchia claim, at the mouth of a small draw which comes in there on the right limit. he ran onto some rich pay. Several different men had staked a claim al the mouth of the draw and prospected it since the late Felix Pedro made the discovery on that creek which put Fairbanks on the map as mining camp. The claim had been abandoned several years until the lucky Charley relocated it. On examining the records he discov- cred that the claim never had been put on record-the several prospec. tors who had located the ground, not having found any sign of pay, did not think enough of 1t to record It. MT. Krisha dug deeper than the former prospectors, going nine feet into bedrock and finding very good pay and drifting beneath the old prospect tunnels where nothing had been found. Krisha has four men employed blocking out his ground and will put on large force of men the coming season.
 At present on Goldstream there are several winter dumps. On Fords claim, No. 4, Jack Livingston. Pad dy Mogan, Bill Williams and Tom Ward have been working all winter taking out good sized dump. Bob Staples Is taking out a small wind lass dump on 2. Andy Nyland and Joe Contra are working on 8. Matt Larson has been working on his own ground and has taken out a windlass dump. single-handed. Farther down Martin & Verdin also have out a dump, while still lower down Thomas & Co. also have large dumps out ready for sluicing.
 Down on the Diebold claim, P. there's & dump which reminds one of the early days and at the mouth of Engineer creek. where Val Diebold and several partners have been min ing all winter. Gus Peterson Is mak. ing preparations for working several men the coming season. Joe Murphy is prospecting on 27 again this win ter.

CRAYs WILL TRY
To BLOT OUT THE

If They Can Take Today's
Game From Railroad Men
VIII Pull Themselves Up to
Even Standing With Rivals,

The Grays hopes for the city cham
pionship rest on todays game. VIM
ming won't give them the laurel
wreath. but they've got to have the
heavy end of the score to bring them
selves up to even footing with their
so far only successful rivals, the Aq's
The railroaders now hold the lead
in the local race, having firmly and
more or less gently seized the coveted
bigger figure in two contacts with the
Grays. These were the first two
games played between the teams. In
their third set-to the Grays got start
ed in the race, walloping the Aq's for
the first time. and the count stands
two games to one with the Aq's ahead.
Manager AL Streeter is expected to
assign owen Smaulding to the job OF
tagging down the Grays this after

Gonzales, the southpaw who humbled
the Aq's in their last game with the
Grays; Jake Armijo and Ramon San
doval his slow-ball professor, who
recently came back from Denver after
having officiated in a thrteen-inning
battle there Dams best guess was
that he would nominate Sandoval or
Gonzales, although his selection will
depend, of course upon which one
makes the best showing in the pre-
liminary warming up.
A record breaking turnout of fans
is expected since the teams haven't
failed to stage a thriller in their three
previous battles and unless something
unusual happens hard-fought game
is billed for today.
The game will be played on the
Barelas field. 1t was to have been
the formal opening of the new park,
but it was impossible to finish the
grandstand. The hleachers however,
will be under an awning which will
shade at least 500 fans.
Playing will start at o'clock.

N. Nj. GOVERNOR MAKES
PLEA FOR HIS STATE

Salt Lake City, Utah, Aug. IT,
Governor Larrazola of New Mexico in
strongly urging the ceding by the fed
eral government of the public lands
to th6Rstates. says there are no more
homesteads that can be other than
disappointing to any homesteader who
might undertake to make a living on
one of them, that the public domain
does not pay the federal government
to administer it, that the states are
compelled to police and maintain
roads in the territory owned by the
federal government upon the lands Of
which no taxes can be levied.
The governor of New Mexico points
out that his state is particularly un-
fortunate because of the large acreage
that is held by the United States from
which the state receives no income in
any way.
