No FRIENDS THERE WAS
 NO SOUP KITCHEN

Quite a furry of excitement was created by several enthusiastic Nome boosters who chanced upon q copy of the Ketchikan Chronicle un- der date of January sth. 1923. tone borrowed from the Nugget exchan- ges.) Our loyal townsmen took ex- ception to an article which referred to soup kitchens in Nome. Follow ing is the article:
 Late reports from Nome say that free soup kitchens established are inadequate to supply the wants of the destitute poor. More suffering has been witnessed there this win ter than at any time since the camp was discovered"
 Our good citizens forgot to read the general heading of the article under which this item appeared. When ye local scribe was shown ne article he naturally looked for the head and discovered immediately that it was a reprint from the Ket- chEkan Mining Journal under date of March 29, 1902.
 While resentment against unjust attacks upon our fair community are commendable, 1t is good idea to be sure of ones premise before assuming a line of defense.
 In 1902 this community had ap- proxfmately a population of 10000 anxious gold seekers, lured to this community by the glowing descrip- tions of the rich gold strikes made on Anvil Creek and Snow Gdlch. Many of these were caught by the cold weather and were unable to re- turn to the States. Being without sufficient funds to pay the high prices incident to rush conditions maybe some were forced to seek public aid and as a consequence so-called Soup Kitchen may have heen opened for few unfortunate ones.
 Canvassing the community of old timers we are unable to find one who remembers the existence of any such Soup Kitchen and the logical conclusion is that the article above reprinted was another case of ex- aggerated reports of the early ac- tfvities of our camp.

 ed for the death. His brother James stated that to his knowledge TO previous attack of this trouble had ever troubled his brother and that this instance was evidently an acute attack, brought about by the cramped working conditions of the underground mining.
 Mark Carley leaves four brothers and two sisters. all of whom with the exception of James. live in the States.

JURY DISAGREES-ClASE TO
 BE RETIRED MONDAY

The case of the United States vs. Albert Delutak, in which DeIutak, a native boy. was charged with hav- irg liquor in his possession, was tried in the misssioner's court Friday afternoon at o'clock. H. O'Nefll appeared for the defendant.
 The case went to the jury at 3:30 P. NJ. Balloting showed that the jurors were not all of one mind and as a consequence they remained in the jury room until 10:20 A. M. today, at which time Commissioner Chas. Thornton discharged them.

The tenor of this last telegram is less mandatory than that of his for mer wire and indicates that light is probably dawning on the Coloners grasp of the situation.
 Nome certainly does not wish to evade it's just responsibility but insists that the government carry the Harbor to completion before de- handing this community to deposit the sum in question.

"The Name Sounded Familiar"
 The young lady tourist had just arrived on the first boat, from the big outside with a determination to see all that Alaska had to offer in the way of thrills and hair raising events that she had read about be- fore departing for this land of Prim- itiye people. as she had been told they were.
 So with this determination firmly fixed in her mind the Y. L. T. started forth with one of the many male guides that are available at all times. especially when there is a very attractive and the least bit Romantic young lady to be guided.
 This young lady was determined 10 not show her ignorance in such small details as names, for she was sure that all those Indian names amounted to nothing any way
 After showing the Y. l.. T. every
 
 thing of importance from Cliff All yn's water wagon to the cabin where Rex Beach wrote his first book in Alaska, the Y. L. T. with her Guide turned once more toward the center of the Town, when there crossing the street right in front of her was a man dressed in Parka, fur gloves end cap, looking the part of a real son of the North, as she pictured them. Oh! My! Exclaimed the Y. l.. T. is that an Eskimo?
 No. No, Replied the guide, recognizing the man, that is white man.
 I'll bet he is an old timer up here, r,used the Y. l.. T.
 Wrong again, he is a Cheechako' said the Guide.
 A what? Queried the Y. L, T.
 A Cheechako, don't you know what a Cheechaka is? Asked the guide.
 Oh, yes said the Y. L. T. blushine nrettly. but I never thought they would be allowed to come into this country.

 Me and my pal Bill Had hit real pay streak,
 Running a private Still. Friends We had a thousand,
 More coming every day. Our life was like bed of roses. In the summer month of May. Both Bill and I were happy.
 Two pals who would not part. until there came a Flapper, And stole away Bfll's heart. Of all the living Mortals
 Who roam from place to place. She was the winning beauty, Could win in any race. With eyes like the shining Stars. A nose pertinent and small. And lips of rosy hue,
 That seemed to beck and call. Too well yet remember.
 The day she came with Bill, To our Cabin for visit.
 And look at our private Still. Now Bill was a regular guy.
 With heart of pure gold, Till the Flapper came along.
 And left us out in the cold. Now Bill and l feel Blue.
 Like friend without his Hop. What's that. don't you know wha'
 happened?

former law limited the period to two
years.
The word pulmonary" is also
stricken from the law, making it ap.
| plicable to all tubercular diseases in.
stead of tuberculosis of the lungs only
| The bill includes all persons suffering
from neuro-psychiatric or tubercular
diseases, provided they have been
examined by a medical officer of the
bureau or legally qualified physician
and found to be suffering from dis
ability due to these diseases of more
than 10 per cent degree, within three
years after separation from active
service.
Between 5000 and 10000 tubercu-
lar cases will be relieved by this
change, and. it is estimated that the
cost to the government will be about
fifteen million dollars for = period of
three years, for compensation alone.
The mental cases, it is estimated. in
the first year will cost in compensa-
ton about three millions, and the to-
tai cost, exclusive of the first year,
will be- about fifteen millions, which
will extend over period of II years
This estimate does not include the
cost of medical treatment and hos
pitalization, which Will probably be
greater than the cost Of compensation.
General Court Martial.
Another section OF the Sweet Bill
has changed the former law so that
persons guilty of mutiny, treason,
spying, or any offense involving moral
turpitude or willful and persistent
will not be deprived OF
insurance and compensation benefits
unless they have been found guilty
by general court-martial. This will
relieve many men formerly in the ma
val service who were given bad-con-
duct discharges. or undesirable dis
charges, for minor offenses, without
trial by court-martial and who have
been deprived of all benefits under the
War Risk Act.
This section is made retroactive,
ard under the rules and regulations
Of the Veterans Bureau insurance can
be reinstated. There are about eight |
thousand who have been deprived of |
insurance under this section of the old |
aw, and about two thousand OF these |
will be enabled to have their insur-

ance reinstated, provided they pay
all back premiums.
Time IL Extended

The limit of time for obtaining {
certificate of disability from the di
rector of the Veterans Bureau ha.
been extended from August 9, 1922, tc
March l. 1924. These certificates are
issued where there is an official rec
ord Of injury during service or at
| time of separation from the service
or where satisfactory evidence is fur
nished to the Bureau to establish the
injury.
A disability certificate is contestable
evidence that the injury covered by
the certificate was incurred in or ag-
gravated by service. fraud being the
only ground on which the certificate
can be attacked.
A further change in the old law
provides that insurance shall not
lapse on account Of the failure to pay
| premiums, If the failure occurs while
the soldier is mentally incompetent,
and before any legal guardian has
been appointed.
Burial Expenses.
One hundred dollars is provided for
the burial expenses of any veteran
who dies withoue leaving enough to
cover his burial. A flag for the cas-
ket is also provided. If death oc-
ours while the man is receiving gov
ernmental. medical, surgical, or hos
pital treatment or vocational training,
transportation will be furnished by
the Government
Hospital disability compensation is
made payable under the same condi-
tions that death benefits have been
payable, where insurance lapsed
while compensation equal to the
amount of the unpaid premiums was
still due the soldier. Insurance is also
made payable where a disabled soldier
not permanently and totally disabled,
was not allowed reinstatement of his
insurance and has since died or be-
come permanently and totally dis
abled.
One or two changes are made in
the present day law for the purpose
of facilitating the administration of |
the act and providing further for the
financing of the War Risk Bureau.
One OF these authorizes the invest
ment of the insurance fund in bonds
of the Federal Farm loan banks, in
addition to other government securi-
ties which are already authorized.
Passage of this important legisla-
ton. which had been urged strenu-
ouly by all the veterans organizations,
very doubtful towards the
close Of the last session Of congress.
The bill passed the house on Friday.
and after two unsuccessful attempts
to get it up. went through the upper
body late Saturday night, only few
hours before final adjournment.

MANY VETS, DENIED COMPENSATION
ARE TO GET IT UNDER SWEET BILL

passed by congress just an hour or
two before the last session adjourned.
Several thousand veterans who had
previously been denied proper COM
pensation under the law are now re-
lievcd and made eligible for COM
pensation to which they are justly
entitled.
Most important of the changes
made by the Sweet Bill is the one
amending section 800 of the War Risk
Act so that person who is suffering
with a neuro- phychiatric or tubercu-
lar disease developing whiting three
years after separation from the serv-
ice shall be considered to have &C
auired the disease in the service. The
