HISTORY GIVEN
OFWAR TROPHY
NOW IN JUNEAU
The German war trophy—the 77
m. m. gun—'Which was awarded the
territory in connection with the vic
tory issue of liberty loan bonds, is
one of six captured by the 11th Infan
try, Fifth division, U. S. regulars in
the Dun-Marveaux action of the
Meuse-Argonne offensive shortly be
fore the signing of the armistice, ac
cording to advices received by Gov.
Thomas Riggs. The cannon is dis
played on the grounds near the gov
ernor's office.
A letter just received from Maj.
Gen. C. C. Williams, chief of ord
nance, gives the history of the trophy
as follows:
“Gun No. 3882 was one of the first
shipped to Mehun ordnance shops in
France by ordnance representatives
in the field. It was captured by the
11th infantry, Fifthy division, regular
army, in the Dun-Murveaux action of
the Meuse-Argonne offensive. Col. R.
G. Peck was in command of the regi
ment and the gun was captured near
La Maisonette farm.
“The capture of such places as Liny,
Levant, Dun, Fontaine and Murveaux
by the American army laid the Ger
man railroad lines open to American
artillery fire and not only cut into the
supplies being shipped to the left of
the German lines but endangered the
German armies holding lower Alsace.
"Too much credit cannot be given
to the 11th infantry of the regular
i Fifth division, who from November §
to November 8, took besides numer
ous prisoners, six pieces of artillery,
three anti-tank rifles, 160 machine
guns, and vast quantities of ammuni
tion and supplies. This gun is one
of the six captured."

AVIATORS MAY
TRY FLIGHT TO
NEW OIL FED
! ■
VANCOUVER, Jan. 17 (by Associat
ed Press).—-Several daring Canadian
oil prospectors are considering using
airplanes to fly 600 miles into the
snowbound new oil fields near Fort
Norman, northeast of here, and stake
their claims in advance of the stam
pede expected over the trails to Nor
man in the spring.
AH attempts to go overland into the
Fort Norman country during the win
ter have been blocked by Royal Cana
dian Mounted Police who are holding
back scores of prospectors at the
Pcafte river crossing. The prospectors
will be allowed to diHko for (fib fiis
tricf when the ice leaves tit# ftyUrk
in the spring.
According to Major C. MacLaurin,
superintendent of the Jericho air sta
tion of the Dominion ef Canada aid
board, it would be possible to fly
from the coast to the oil fields and
return in one day. The planes w'ould
be outfitted on the coast near Fort
Norman and would soar across the
ivhite mountain ranges which cannot
Rtow he crossed on foot.
the plane. Major MacLaurin thinks,
could be' equipped with runners, by
means of which landings could be
made on the ice of rivers and lakes
which aboiind near Fort Norman.
About twehty claims were staked
in the district before the police closed
the area last autumn and it is said
some of the most promising claims
are yet to be staked.
CONFIDENT PULP MILLS
WILL COME TO ALASKA
JUNEAU, Jan. 7.—pr. L. O. Sloane,
chief surgeon for the St. Ann hospi
tal at Juneau, brings word from San
Francisco that complete details of the
Gastineau company pulp and paper
mill project will be made public in a
few days. When Dr. Sloane left San
Francisco, D. C. Jackling was expect
ed on the coast after a conference
with eastern financial associates, and
it was expected Mr. Jackling will be
in a position to disclose details.
Dr. Sloane returned to Juneau very
confident that the Gastineau inter
ests intend to develop the pulp indus
try on a large scale with headuarters
at Juneau, where the Salmon and An
nex creek power will be utilized. He
says Bart L. Thane shares this opin
ion.

ENGLISH RISK
LOSS AGAINST
IRISH FIGHTS
DUBLIN, Jan. 17 (by Associated
Press).—Insurance companies, most
ly English, have done a brisk busi
ness in Ireland in issuing policies
against loss due to civil commotion.
Everybody has an uneasy feeling
that his house is not safe from the
consequences of the conflict between
the government and its enemies.
Many persons have suffered whom no
body intended to injure. The market
for insurance policies, therefore, has
been very active.
The ordina v Ur - and accident pol
icies expressly exclude damage from
the results of civil war or disturb
ances of public <>! t.sr which the new
policies are meant to cover. It has
been discovered, however, that a
clause in many of the new policies
might render them valueless and
leave a victim, who had paid his prem
ium no better off than before.
It is provided that in order to re
cover a loss the sufferer must be able
to show that neither he nor any of his
servants has been a member of an il
legal organization responsible for dis
turbance. On the face of it this
seems reasonable, but there are very
many Individuals and still more im
portant firms who could not answer
for the political affiliations of all
the members of their staffs.
Lately some of tlie most respectable
firms in Dublin owned by Unionists
and wealthy men unconnected with
politics have been raided by the forces
of the crown in search of suspected
employes whose private affairs were
entirely unknown to their employers.
If these employers started rooting out
the Sinn Feiners from their staffs
the unpopularity thereby provoked
might easily ruiti their business. The
facts throw an interesting sidelight oil
the ordinary conduct of life in Ire
land under guerilla warfare.
Trouble has arisen by the aetlop of
the British commission which sincO
the great war controls the sugar sup
ply ft has issued instructions to Eng
lish wWrfesalers that they must not,
while the present disturbances con
tinue, supply Irish sugar retailers
with any sugar except for cash down,
and this order applies even to firms
whose solvency is undoubted.
JACK PICKFORD DISPLAYS
HUMOR AND TENDERNESS
IN LATEST SCREEN PLAY
Jack Piekford’s plays are all clean,
sweet and wholesome. He is without
equal in depicting American boyhood,
the kind that rifles the apple orchard
and runs away to the old swimming
hole the kind that falls out of one
scrape into another.
/fis latest First National, “In
WYhWgf”,- ts no exception. The trou*
hies ths*1 Fioy has! The scrapes he
gets into; tftV" w^y he is eternally
misunderstood and hfamed, make up
a picture that for solid fun, inter
mingled with pathos that Will bring
the tears even while you laugh, and
for good all round entertainment,
can’t be beaten. “In Wrong” is the
kind of story that James Whitcomb
Riley wrote, full of humor and ten
derness, with a broad human appeal
that none can resist. It will bring
back the days of your rag doll and the
old swimming hole, the long lazy sum
mer vacation days,—.the smell of the
clover and the hum of bees.
Together with a copy of Pathe
News, and an interesting Screen
Magazine, “In Wrong” completes to
night’s program at the Empress.

' EARLY CELERY SEED
HAS EN DEVELOPED
SANFORD, Fla., Jan. 7 (by Associ
ated Press).—New grown celery for
the Christmas trade was shipped out
of Florida earlier this year than ever
before due principally to a new kind
originated in this section. Through
long experimenting a strain of seed 1
has been developed which matures
much earlier than any other kind
and is almost entirely free from blight
and other diseases that attack early
celery.
