SUBSCRIPTION RATES:
FOR CITIZEN SOLDIERS
The war department is issuing a
series of informal talks under the gen
eral title “Home-Reading Course
for Citizen-Soldiers." for the benefit
of the young men selected for service
in the National Army.
The course, however, will prove al
most equally interesting to the other
hundreds of thousands who will prob
ably be called to the colors later and
to relatives and friends of men now
enrolled or likely to be enrolled in
the array. There appears to be a gen
eral demand for information of the
kind given in the course.
It is written in simple non-tech
nical language and does not presup
pose any military knowledge. At the
same time, it will probably be of con
siderable value even to those who have
already had military experience.
The course will be published in The
Gateway for the benefit of those in
this district. For the present the
course will not be published through
any other medium. All rights to re
print in pamphlet or book form, are
reserved. Each lesson will contain 800
to 1200 words; very few will exceed
1000 words. One lesson will be pub
lished each day.

THE ROAI) TO SIBERIA
Shades of Ivan the Terrible, the lie
publican Russians have deported the
czar and his family to Siberia.
It is to be trusted that Nicholas
will at once set up housekeeping and
prepare to entertain his cousin, Kai
ser Bill.
For many generations the czars of
Russia have been breaking up homes
by sending folks to Siberia for almost
every cause under the sun. Some for
political ambition, some because an
official coveted their fortune or their
wife or daughter, and some for re
venge. Considered from a turn-about
is fair play and the czar and his fam
ily are getting off easy for they did
not have to walk shackled.

MOBILIZING THE
NATION’S FREIGHT CARS
Reports to the War Board from the
Car Service Commission show that or
ders have been given to thirty-six sep
rate railroads to ship immediately!
(>8,814 freight cars to 54 other rail
roads. These cars are being moved
without load and in the quickest pos
sible time.
The reports show further that 4f>,
(>82 cars have actually been received
by the roads for whose benefit this
arbitrary movement is ordered, and
that 51,795 cars have already been
delivered by the initial roads to in
termediate lines in the direction of
ultimate destination.
In ordering empty freight cars to
be promptly moved from one railroad
to another, regardless of ownership,
the Railroad's War Hoard has adopted
a policy new to American railroad
usage and hopes thereby to solve the
problem of rapidly mobilizing in dif
ferent sections of the country the cars
necessary to handle the abnormal
Government and commercial traffic
that war conditions have produced.
Among the immediate aid import
ant results of redistribution of cars
will be the increased facilities for the
prompt shipment of lumber to the
Army cantonment sites and the ship
building yards.
The unfilled car orders on May 1st.
1917, were 106,649, and on June 20,
they had been reduced to 77,144.

First Protestant Church to Send
Missionaries North Is Keeping
Pace ,
CORDOVA, Aug. 20.—The annual
meeting of the Presbytery o£ the Yu
kon will convene at Cordova the lat
ter part of September, the exact date
to be determined upon the arrival here
of Rev. James H. Condit, of Juneau,
superintendent of the Presbyterian
missions in Alaska, who is now on a
trip to the interior. A mission is to
be established at Nenana, with Rev.
Oiven, of Sitka, in charge. Rev. Con
dit will visit Fairbanks and come to
Cordova direct from Nome.
"The Presbyterian church was the
first Protestant organization to estab
lish missions in Alaska, and sustains
1 more missions in the north at the
present time than any other institu
tion. Its school at Sitka, the Shel
don Jackson Industrial Institution, is
the largest in the territory. This
school is sometimes wrongly ascribed
to the bureau of education.
It is the plan of the church to keep
pace with the development of the ter
ritory in its mission work. Since 1878
when its first missionaries arrived, it
established missions in most of the
important centers, and through its
board of home missions has expended
large sums of money in the support
of its work. Unquestionably an im
portant one in the moral and spirit
ual development of this country.
LLOYD RESTS
IN TANANA
Former Republican Committee Head
In Fourth Division Dies
Suddenly
Thomas Lloyd, republican territor
ial committeeman for the Fourth di
vision, who died at Fairbanks on
July 17, was buried in the Tanana
valley where he lived and which he
loved so well. Lloyd was dining!
when the death-stroke came and as
he turned to address a remark to the,
attendant he fell and life was extinct, i
Thomas Lloyd was a native of
Wales and came to America when 18 j
years of age. In his boyhood he work- j
ed in the coal mines in Pennsylva
nia for several years, after which he'
moved to Utah. There he again en
tered the mining game and became
interested quite extensively in mining
property. It was there also that he*
entered politics. After several years
of great success in the Klondike, he
met with financial reverses, which
nearly wiped out the fruits of years.
During the winter of 1904-05 he <
went to Fairbanks and the following
summer was among those to rush to
the Kantishna district. He was the
first man to stake a quartz claim in j
the Kantishna and he was interested
from that time until he died in some!
extensive holdings there.
LIyod and Ed. C. Russell, of Juneau,
were the alternates to the national
Republican convention in Chicago in
191(5, which nominated Mr. Hughes
for the presidency.—Ex._
