G RMAN RATIONS
NOT SUFFICIENT
TO SUSTAIN LIFE
(Br Associated PrvM Dispatch)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.—Recently obtained figures
on the German weekly food ration, as published by the
German Food administration, gives belief to officials of
the United States government that the ration is far below
the amount required to maintain bodily health and vigor.
Officials here believe that this will have serious pennan
| ent results.
: Computed in terms of American housekeeping ra-j
I tions, the Germans have weekly approximately four and
a half pounds of bread; one-half peck of potatoes, one cup
ful of beans, 12 cubes of sugar and (i individual patties of
butter.
The caloric value is less than half what it is estimated
is sufficient for a person in sedentary occupation. •

CONFIDENCE IS
FELT IN FUTURE
OF FITE IDITAROD
■
“As winter approaches/* says the
Iditarod Pioneer, “one hears the cus
tomary pessimistic utterances with
• reference to the future of the Idit
arod as a producing district. As in
previous years, there are dire predic
; tions as to .the life of the camp and
the expiessed belief that next year
will see such-and-such eventualities,
all of a depressing nature.
“At the same time that the croak
ers are making tlu»r lamentations the
wide-awake and enterprising mer
chants are receiving nnd warehousing
their customary large stocks of goods
—stocks the size and variety of which
cause the eyes of thn stranger to
bulge out in wonder.

RAILROAD WORK IS
STARTING ON NORTH
RANK OF THK TAN ANA
X EX AN A. Oct. <>, (By Mail). —
That railroad construction work on
the north bank of the Tanana riv
er opposite Nenana will start early
next spring, is indicated by the
' preparations being made by the En
gineering commission to land several
thousand seventy-pound rails on that
side of the river. The fact that sev
enty-pounders are being placed there
is also evidence that the work next
spring will be of a permanent nature;
that is, that standard gunge railroad
will be constructed, as forty-pounder*
are being used only in narrow gunge
i work.
Jack Bellerby, head wharfinger of
the American-Yukon Navigation com
pany, and Roy Lamb, mechanical fore
man of the Engineering commission,
have selected a suitable site for land
ing the rails. It is also stated that a
derrick is to be rigged for landing the
rails at the site either tomorrow or
next day, and it is therefore expected
' that the next barge loads of steel
brought in will be landed there.
These preparations are taken as a
certain indication that the line to
Fairbanks is to be of the same con
struction as the remainder of the roadf
They also indicate that work on that
side of the river will start as early as
possible next spring.
It is understood here that the laying
of track south of Nenana is to continue
after the freeze-up. The object of con
tinuing the work at this time, it is |
stated, is to get a steam shovel out to
Thirty-five Mile, where there is a hill
of dry gravel. This gravel will be
used as ballast. It is further under
stood that a small force is to be kept
on the work of building grade all win
ter.
Freight on Every Boat
“Freight was brought in on every
boat, and the only limit to the amount
seemed to he the capacity of the trans
portation companies to handle it.
“The Iditurod has many more pros
perous years ahead of it. Travelers
are unanimous in their assertions that
this district is the most prosperous
community in Interior Alaska today
as it has been for some years; ant)
those acquainted with its resources
and possibilities see no reason for pes
simism.
Plenty ot Dredge Work
“The fact that in a year or two the
largest dredge at present working in
the district will have come to the end
of its present task is made too much
of. There is plenty of low-grade
ground to keep dredges employed tor
many years to come.
“The most hopeful feature of th<
present situation is that a policy ol
road-building which will open up to
development the surrounding country
has been inaugurated. The many out
lying creeks will be put in easy com
munication with the head of naviga
jgation, and an era of development such
as the district has not experienced be
fore may well be in course ot prepa
ration. The business people of the
district and citizens generally, have
no cause for pessimism.”
HARRY THAW
BEING SUED
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 25.—Harry
Thaw, now incarcerated in an insane
asylum, is again brought into the pub
lic gaze, with the filing of a suit for
damages against him here today.
The complainant is the father of
Frederick Gump, the high school boy
who was flogged by Thaw in a New
York hotel last Christmas. It was his
arrest in connection with the flogging
case which caused Thaw to make his;
futile attempt at suicide and which
later landed him in the asylum.
Gump asks $650,000 damages as j
compensation for what the boy and
his family suffered from the insane,
millionaire. ** J

ATTEMPT MADE
TO HOB BOXES
ON IMN090D
FAIRBANKS. Oct. t>, (By Mail)—
That an attempt was made recently
l«> rob the sluice boxes on the Fontas
i lease on Livelihood creek, in the Tolo
vana country, is the information re
eeived by J. J. Sherry, one of the own
ers of the ground. The letter receiv
ed also states that the thief secured
nothing, as far r..> could be ascertain
ed, having been ‘.Tightened away from
hb nefarious work after he had raised
three of the riffles. There is every
indication that the robbery was at
| tempted by some one very familiar
with the Fontas workings, but there
* is no clew to the would-be thief
other than the pick with which he
was working, which he left behind in
his hurry to escape.
There are several strings of sluice
boxes under the big dump that is out
on the Fontas ground. They lead
away from the dump on the opposite
side from the boiler house, conse
quently the sailing was easy for the
thief. But after he had raised three
of the riffles and was preparing to
raise a fourth he was frightened away
by the flow of water turned into the
boxes, being evidently cognizant of
the fact that the flow of water meant
. that the men employed on the ground
would be on the job in a few moments
! ready to sluice while they had water
with which to work. He therefore
made a hurried escape, leaving the
pick, which is said to be altogether
unlike any other instrument of its
kind on the creek.
When the men started to work they
quickly discovered that the sluice
boxes had been tampered with. An
investigation was made immediately
which disclosed the fact that, while
the riffles had been raised, the dirt in
the boxes under them had not been
loosened from the bottom of the boxes,
indicating that the thief had been
frightened away before he had secur
ed the gold bearing gravels which he
had intended to carry with him. The
robbery was attempted during the
darkest hour of the night—midnight
—according to the report.
This is not the first report of at
tempted sluice box robberies in the
Tolovana which has reached Fair
banks.

Luck isn’t sensitive. Many a man
sneers at it and yet it comes to him.'

NENANA COAL
LANDS TO BE
LEASED SOON
■
FAIRBANKS, Oct. 9, (By Mail).—
Dr. G. C. Martin, of the U. S. Geo
logical Survey, who reached Fair
banks yesterday, has just returned
from the lignite coal fields, 57 miles
south of Nenana, where he has com
pleted investigations preparatory to
offering the lands for lease. Dr. Mar
tin states that this work is supple
mentary to the survey of the main
part of the coal field which was fin
ished last yedr. At that time the coal
on the west bank of the Nenana river
was not examined, but this has now
been done.
• The leasing offer of the mining
units as provided by law will soon be
made, for after the survey by the gen
eral land office the law requires that
the land be divided into blocks most
suitable for economical mining. The
coal lands in the Bering river and Ma
tanuska districts have already been
offered for lease in this manner.
The method of obtaining these
lands may be learned by applying to
the secretary of the interior or the
general land office.
Dr. Martin is leaving today on the
Sheldon stage for the coast and he ex
pects to do direct to Washington.

It would be mighty hard work for
some men to take the rest cure.
