VALDEZ YOUTH IS BADLY
 INJURED BY EXPLOSION

Trefton, Gromoff, a native boy of about thirteen years of age, suffered serious injury last Friday when a dynamite cap exploded in his left hand tearing away a major part of the hand and inflicting deep wound in his abdomen, says the Valdez Miner.
 He was immediately rushed to the hospital, where Dr. Buckley found the member so badly torn that it was nec- essary to amputate the thumb at the second joint, the first finger a short distance below the third joint and the second finger at the third joint, leav- ing only the third and little finger and part of the palm of his hand. A wound was also found in the abdomen, probably an inch or more in depth, from which several pieces of clothing was. extracted, but no part of the met al composing the cap could be found.
 The patient is resting easily, and unless infection sets in, has a ta1od chance of recovery.
 As near as can be ascertained the cap was found in a vacant house and given to the little native boy by an other boy, who held it in his hand and touched a lighter match to it, with the results above stated.

In the Casadepaga section it is planned<to buy the ties of the old Council City & Solomon River railroad and construct two miles of corduroy road across the Ruby di- vide. In the winter the present trails that need attention will be gone over and it is planned to extend the pres ent permanent staked trails into sec tions not already covered by perma- nent staked trails.

COMMITTEE FOR
 DEFENSE TEST" IS
 NAMED BY GOVERNOR
HEADS THEREFOR IAL COMMITTEE TO ARRANGE
 FOR OBSERVATION
Duncan Empire)

To make arrangements for Alaska's parti6pation in the national Defense Test" Governor Scott c. Bone has ap- pointed, at the request of Major Gen. eral c. c. Morton, Commander of the Ninth Army Corps Area, a Central Mobilization Committee composed of R. E. Robertson, Chairman, Mayor l. Goldstein, Juneau, Mayor M. J. Null vihill, Skagway, Mayor Karl Bjorn- stad, Haines, Mayor L. V. Ray, Sew ard and Mayor M. J. onroy, Anchor age. "Defense Test" has been des- ignated by the Secretary of War for September 12, next, and is expected to be national mobilization demonstra- tion which will serve as an occasion for the assemblies and ceremonies in volving public manifestations of loyal ty and patriotism.
 Recently Governor Bone was asked by General Morton to appoint cen tral committee to formulate plans for such general mobiligation which will include all units of the Army, State Guards, constabularies, reservists, civ ic and war veteran societies, etc. thru out the entire country. The secretary of War has asked that the civil au- thorities take hold of the suggestion and work out plans which will make it a success.
 The underlying motive of the mob ilization, it is said, is to test the na- tion's military defense policy as estab- lshed in 1920 which calls for a small standing army and a large number of organized reserves and Federally rec ognized National Guards. The mobi- lization will be carried out, without expense to the Federal government, exactly as if the country were assemb ling it's forces to repel invasion.
 September 12 was decided upon for the mobilization in honor of the real first American offensive on the Allied front in France, being the sixth ami verSary of the battle of St. Mihiel. It is hoped that every town, city, mili- tary post or camp and other commun- ity in the entire country will aid in making the occasion a success.
 Alaska has no state guards or or ganized army reserves of any kind and, as pointed out by Gov. Bone to Gen. Morton, this makes it a some what difficult plan. He has suggested that it will be possibly confined to the Anchorage Barracks and Chilkoot Barracks with co-incidental of the day in Territorial schools. The members of the committee appointed for Anchor age vii cooperate with Maj. Byrom for suitable observance of the day there.
