MISS NELLIE EASTMAN
 ARRIVES ON WATSON

Among the arrivals on the steamer Admiral Watson today was Nellie Cashman, well known in this section of the Territory. For more than forty nine years she has been a resident of Alaska and mining operator in the far North and is now returning after a winter spent in the States.
 While in Washington Nellie paid her respects to President Coolidge and endeavored to impress upon him some of the needs of Alaska. She feels that she was fairly successful in this respect as she declares the Pres ident is a thoughtful and broad-mind- ed man who listens well and properly digests the information he receives. Miss Cashman declares that the senti- ment throughout the east is decidedly in favor of the nomination and cleo ton of the man who is now so satis- factorily occupying the White House. Her investigations induce her to be- lieve that William G. McAdoo cannot be nominated for president at the Democratic convention, but that she thinks he is lucky in that respect for his nomination would only spell de- feat.
 Miss Cashman is on her way back to her home on the Koyukuk river, where she has been engaged in min- ing for several years past. She had intended going over the Copper River Railroad to the interior but changed her mind and took the Watson from Cordova, where she made few days stopover, to Seward. While in the East she met up with Editor w. F. Thompson of the Fairbanks News, Miner, and reports that he is greatly improved in health.

SIS FOR A NEW WORD-GET
BUSY CHALLIS STUDENTS

ogden, Utah. April Sth.-An appeal
lis being made to school children of
the entire Intermountain District to
coin new word that will be descrip-
tive of a careless individual who goes
out into the forest and through his
carlelessness gives rise to forest fires,
according 0 on announcement made
by District Forester R. H. Rutledge.
Our language is rich in striking colo
quial terms Or nick names applied to
different classes of people. For ex-
ample we have fire bug which is
applied very generally to the incen-
diary who starts fires purposely Ell
Their in cities or forests. We lack,
however. an equally striking name
for the man who is very much more
common and equally dangerous, as
he sets innumerable fires through
his carelessness in the woods usually
either by leaving a camp fire unatten-
ded or improperly extinguished or
by throwing cigar and cigarette butts
into dry and infamable material The
Forest Service is, therefore, appeal
ing at this time to the school children
of this region, asking them to coin
a new word with which to brand this
sort of a man.
The District office at Ogden has
subscribed total of $50 to be given
in prizes, the first OF which is. SIS, the
second SO, and the third So. The
announcement of the winner is to be
made on April 81, tn opening day of
Forest Protection Week, recently pro-
claimed by President Coolidge.
