was the memory of the fallen heroes of
American wars ever more sincerely and
patriotically reverenced as it was on
Monday afternoon when hundreds Of
people gathered at Oakland cemetery
to attend the exercises. The day was
ideal for the occasion, warm radiant
sunshine, beautiful summer and bloom
ing flowers helped. Then too, renewed
interest in this important day was man:
ifest on every hand for veterans of
three wars were congregated with the
relatives and friends to pay their re-
spects to the memory of those who had
given their services to their country.
Veterans of the world war mingled
with the members of the army of the
republic and the Spanish American war
veterans and there was a spirit of COM
radship that was quite evident even
to a casual observer. Business houses
with but a few exceptions closed their
doors for the entire afternoon SO that
all might attend the exercises
It was not until about 2 o'clock that
the procession was formed on West

L|NEMfN LEAVE
 TONSINA ID FIX
 BREAK IN WIRES

1 repair party of signal corps | linemen left Tonsina this morning to close the gap in the Government telegraph line which resulted from the recent storm in that section. The break is close to Ptarmigan Drop, about 1,5O0 feet of wire hay ing been blown down by the gale, and it is estimated that it will be Saturday before communication can be resumed with the coast
 It will take the repair party about two and one-half days to reach Ptarmigan Drop from Tonsina, 50 that the work of making repairs probably will not begun until We'd nesday afternoon on Thursday morn ing. A temporary line probably will be laid on the snow so as to EtiHi o4 q lGSuII plIpli ol StIFiCS while permanent repairs are being made.
 The present interruption n, the most serious that has occurred this winter; in fact, it is the worst land line break that has occurred in scV- eral years, the length of the gap and the continuation of the storm for some time after the wires went down, and the rugged character of the country in that locality having combined to delay the repair work.
 In the meantime, such news as is reaching the Interior country is being relayed by wireless, by way of Nulato, and is necessarily very much abbreviated.
