MYSTERIOUS
“GARABED”
Mankind is not as incredulous of n«\v
thought and new invention as of old.
Therefore Garabed.
T. K. Giragossian, an Armenian,
who has done ao unprecendented thing,
is wholly right in saying; "With the
onward march of science and the ever
increasing acquaintance with the
hitherto unknown laws of nature, and
the mysteries of the universe, we be
come more qualified to make incredible
discoveries and inventions.11 Mr. Gir
gossian could not offer a higher proof
of the open-mindedness of the modern
world to new thought, than is to be
ween in the faetthatho has indueod the
congress of the United States, includ
ing both branches, to grant hint a
special patent on a device, or machine,
called the "Garabed", without seeing
a, model, much less a practical use or
application. He has appeared before
both House and Senate committees and
told, in broad, general outline, the pur
pose potency of his invention, demon
strated its practicability in scientific
and mechanical terms, and explained
why he is appealing for special patent
legislation in preferance to taking the
run of the patent office, He has con
vinced two committees upon whose re- j
ports both houses have acted favorably '
upon joint resolution No. 174, which is j
a conference committee, divided only ,
on the point of terms as to government j
use of the invention.
This is an amazing record in legis
lation. but we are not left at liberty toj
assume that the action is unwarranted, i
The interest of President Wilson and!
his active participation in assisting the
inventor to such unusual recognition is
disclosed in correspondence in which
Giragossian is assured of his continu
ing support and directed to make de
monstration of his invention before
Secretary Redfield and Dr. Stratton of
the Bureau of Standards. The patent
is to be granted if, after an investiga
tion by a commission of scientists, it is
found to be of use by, and not danger
ous to society, and the rights of the
government are secured.
Tne secret of the invention is said to
be in the process by which it can be
made to supply energy and force, prac
tically without cost, Misplacing th8
steam engine and other machines. The
inventor claims that his invention will
revolutionize the economic life of the
world and change the course of human
history.

IRISH WIVES
FOR TAKES
Base American Flotilla in British j
Waters, Feb. 12.—Every part of the.
j United States has supplied a hero jn ,
love romances that have culminated in
happy marriages between American !
bluejackets and blue-eyed Irish maidens
since tbe arrival of the American de
stroyer forces in the south of Ireland.
After the war every part of the United
States from Maine to California and
from the Great Lakes to Florida will
boast of an Irjsh bride who was wooed
and won in her native land by an
American sailor.
All of the brides are looking forward
to the happy day when they will see
what their husbands so proudly pro
claim as “God’s Country.’’ Already
the American sailor lias supplied his
Irish bride with all necessary docu
ments to establish her idenitity as an
American and some have even had ^
their property in the United States
transferred to their wives as a precau
tion in case they lose their lives for !
their country.
There is the marriage of a former
ranchman, Bert Adams, to Bridgit :
O’Rourke, whose family descends from
an Irish king of that name. Adams,
who is a boiler maker on one of the
destroyers, hails from Hugo, Colorado.
He is now arranging to have his ranch
in Colorado deeded to his wife as a pre
caution in the event of his being tor
pedoed. His wife’s relatives live in
Bruce, County Limerick, and there is
plenty of anecdote connected with the ,
families relation to the O'Kourke of
kingly fame. “I don’t know anything
about ranching,’’ Mrs. Adams told the
Associated Press correspondent, “but
I am preparing mvseif for the fair land
Bert has told me so much about and by
studying a history of Colorado.”
NIWSFROfflRDBT;
(Ruby Record-Citizen, March 30.) ,
Julius Walthour accidentally shot,
himself on Thursday at Long City. Re
port says he had a Colts pistol in his !
warbag and in loading the bag in his
sled the gun was discharged, the bullet
entering the-fleshy part of the leg
above the knee. At last report he was
doing fine and would be out again
shortly When the accident happened j
he and Drew French were loading1
their outfit to go over to Flint Creek to j
do some prospecting.
Niehoff and Indergard have located |
what promises to be rich pay on their
upper lay on Spruce creek. A phone
report from Long creek says they
panned out $19.00 from six pans and
another pan went $0.00. Which all
goes to show that Ruby is still a good
camp to tie to, and some of our popula
tion who are planning on going to the
coast would better do a little more dig
ging in these parts first.

from Alec Capewell in the last mail. |
Alec says he and Hans Rasmussen are I

Ben Derrick, the Whiskey Creek
rancher made a visit to the city last
Sunday for supplies. He says he has
never seen so much snow on the Yukon
as this winter. He returned to his
ranch Tuesday.

TAKEN TO SEA
ON AN ICEFLOE
Nome Industrial Worker, March
The 15 natives who were taken to sea,,
on an ice floe a few' weeks ago, have
been heard from. The floe drifted from ;
the vicinity of Teller to the Big Dio- ,
mode island. They landed safely on ,
the Island, two of them remained there
and the other 11 masked across the
Bering strait, and arrived at C&i>e
Prince of Wales five days ago. They
suffered from cold more than front
hunger. They had a couple of seal
along with them, which they were for
tunate enough to catch before the ice
parted from the shore. It was reported
that several of the natives were badly
froaen, but none seriously enough to
necessitate the amputation ot any of
their limbs. The full details of their
thrilling experience were unobtainable
from our informant.
-A
EXPERIENCED HARD TRAIL TRIP
Nenana News; In a letter recently
received from Mis. J. < Funk, form
erly in the ladies' furnishings business
here, she tells of her experiences on
the Valdez trail, through what seems
to be the worst weather ever encoun
tered during one of those trips. The
stage was four days late, as over .10
inches of snow fell, making the trail
impassable in many places. From the
Rapids to Milter’s, says Mrs. Funk,
they encountered several overflows and
had to lay over at Miller’s, while it
took all day and the next night to
make Yosts. After their arrival at
Yosts the wind started up with such
force that it was impossible to get to
tli# barn to water the horses. After
leaving Faxton's they had to leave the j
stage and go ahead for help to get out J
of ihe drifts, and the members of the j
party left in the stage were forced to
go 24 hours without anything to eat, |
until the party got. back. Finally, whet*
when the weather cleared, they trav
eled two nights and a day, stopping
■only to cat, in order to catch up. This
is probably the worst trip made over
the trail, according to the stage drivers*
