General Sfeese
 Sails for Alaska

General J. G. Steese, president of the Alaska Road Commission 1921 to 1927, during the construc- tion of the highway between Fairbanks and Circle City which was named after him, is shown embarking on Alaska Steamship Company steamer Denali at Seat tie just before sailing for Alaska.

 During a part of the time that he was president of the ARC, General Steese also managed The Alaska Railroad. That was during the construction period.

Homemukers Council to Raise S1 ,000 Thru Clubs for New Valley Hospital

The Homemakers Council at its regular meeting Monday voted to raise $1,OO0 through the individu- al homemakers clubs in the Val ley to go toward the furnishing of room in the new Valley hos pital.
 The vote followed talk about progress on the proposed new hospital by Mrs. Jessie DeVries, member of the Valley Hospital Assn. Board. Mrs. DeVries said the S314,O00 structure to be con- structed under the auspices of the Presbyterian Board of Missions will be located behind the pres ent hospital. The Hospital Asso- citation Board is acquiring three acres from the Coop as an ex- tension to the present site. AL ready the land survey contract has been signed by Richard Dem- ming, local surveyor. After the

new hospital is built, it is plan ned to use the present hospital for staff quarters.
 S6,500 to be Raised Here
 Asked about the $6,50O to be raised locally to go toward the construction cost, Mrs. DeVries explained that this was a very small amount for the community to contribute toward its own hos pital. Upwards of $125,000 is ex- pected from the Presbyterian Board of Missions after 1853. Of this amount, $50,000 was promised in advance money so that con- struction on the hospital need not be delayed. Amounts set aside by the Territory and federal match ing funds, together with the local share are expecte1 to add up to

ORDER OF
PUBLICATION

The object of this suit is to pro
cure a divorce a vinculo matri-
monii for the plaintiff, Walter Da-
vid McGraw, from the defendant,
Salena F. McGraw. The Bill of
Complaint states in substance, as
follows:
That the plaintiff is a resident
of Rockville, in Montgomery
County, in the State of Maryland,
and has been for more than one
year Immediately preceding the
filing of this suit. That the de-
PENDANT is a nonresident of said
State and County, and is of address
unknown.
That he and the defendant were
lawfully married on the 9th day
of February, 1916, at Fort Smith,
Arkansas, by Minister of the
Gospel.
That although the conduct of the
plaintiff toward the defendant has
always been kind and affectionate,
and that of faithful husband, yet
nevertheless, on the End day of
April, 1913, while the parties We're
living together in the District of
Columbia, the said defendant, Sa-
lena F. McGraw, did, without just
cause or excuse, abandon and de-
sert the plaintiff; that such aban-
donment and desertion has contin-
ued without interruption ever
since that date, is deliberate and
final, and the separation of the
parties is beyond any reasonable
expectation of reconciliation.
That he was always a kind and
affectionate husband.
1t is thereupon this 30th day of
August, in the year, 1851, ordered
by the Circuit Court for Mont
gomery County, as a Court of Ed
uity, that the plaintiff, by causing
copy of this order to be inserted

Montgomery County, Maryland,

weeks before the 8th day of Oc-
tober, 1851, giving notice to the
defendant of the object and sub
stance of this bill, and warning
her to be and appear in this Court,
in person or by solicitor, on or be-
fore the 26th day of October, 1851,
to show cause, if any she has, why
decree should not be passed as
prayed; or in the alternative by
the service of a copy of this order

aforesaid defendant on or before
one month before the Goth day of
October, 1851.

said it must have the machine by

Just what use the Air Force
will make of it still is secret. OBJ

be valuable for Photographic in

Hugh K. Howerton, chief physi-

Army Promises Effort
To Clarity Censorship
By the Associoted prexs

Maj. Gen. Floyd Parks, Army
chief Of information, has asked
newspaper editors for "forebear-
ance for a few days" while he
attempts to clarity new censor
ship rules applied to correspond
ents in Korea.
Saying he is disturbed" by news
accounts of the new rules imposed
on United States correspondents
Gen. Parks told a reporter last
night he has asked Gen. MacAr-
thurs headquarters in Tokyo
about the situation.
II think we can get solution, -
he said. II feel a happy medium
can be struck, but it's going to
take a lot of give and take on
both Sides"
Gen. Parks said the situation
came to his attention when he
read a dispatch by Russell Brines,
chief OF the Associated Press in
Tokyo, reporting that cenorship
curbS on battle news had been
"clamped down hard" at 9th Army
headquarters at the front.
Mr.. Brines had written that the
new rules threatened custer or
even court-martial for any CORE
spondent who strayed out of line.
He said that among other things
correspondents were not permitted
to use the word retreat" in de-
scribing the current withdrawal of
United Nations forces.
