 m from n peat bog within miles of Fafbsnks ana was pronounced by the geologist as of superior grade. and admNea Cor meiTnaking He promised E. E. Dllley, through whose efforts he was asked to in- vestigate Che substance. that he would take samples of the peat Co Washington. for examination there by one of the members of the sur- yey who has been making a special ty of the study of peat In fact, remarked Mir. smith to Tim@ man. the surveyor has interested himself so greatly In the matter Of peat investigation that the other Ecoloeists have dropped his initials, IC. A.. and now refer to him as Peat Davis. Mir smith promis- ed Go send Mr. Dilley several leat 1 lets prepared by Mir Davis rela- tive to the preparation of peat for fuel
 Seen last evening, Mir Dilley said that he had run across the peat bog several years ago when he was grading the Ester road He said that the bog is about three miles from town on the right hand side Of Che Ester road The bog is three miles long and from one-q'iar- ter to oue-halr mile in width Tn various places the vegetation com prisiug the peat is badly routed. while in others lt ls hard ana Coih- pact The bog varies in thickness. but Co Mir Diley appears to have an average depth Of four feet
 MT. Smith told Mr. Dilley that .ho bog could te drained out and
 Che peat prepared into cakes. set out iu the sun during the summer time and dried for fueI. In many parts Of the world, especially in sec Ions of Ireland. peat is much used for fuel and has been found to be very satisfactory. Because Of the short summers here and the lack of arrangements for drying the peat, Che geologist did not seem to think that the value Of the bog should be oyeresumated by Fairbanksans.

RrL1eIors INTOLERANCE
rUr CAUsE OV WlR

War between the Balkan states and the Turks is nothing new Montenegro has been at war win the Turks periodically the last zoo years The two arc on the border nine between Christian and Moslem forces. The sane old bittern sss which existed between Christian and followers og AIobammed m south western Europe. before the spanish drove out the Moors, prevails in that portion of southeastern Europe ia Che zone embracing Bulgaria, Servia, Albania, Montenegro, Del matia, Greece Croatia, Kuslenlaud, Bosnia, Heregovania, parts of Roumauis and the Turkish border states.
 The efforts Of the Turks to do- mmate iu certain localities has kept alive the strife. The independent spirit Of Che people of the small Balkan states has been anything but couciliatory. The Turks. with their desire Go crush the spirit Of the people of those states. cannot hope for complacert absorption or well defined lines of settlement so long as SO many small statea exist. Chaotic conditions win prevail until some nrst-class power assumes suz- erainty or absorbs the Balkans. These small principalities are in such keystone position that their concession to any oI the powers creates a delicate labor for diploma cy
 The Greek Catholic adherence on one side and Moslem intolerance on the other aggravatos the situ. auon For people at a long dis uuce Go ta.hom an che detail of tho difficulties between the two peoples is almost impossible. How ever. it is more than likely that ey- treme bitterness generated out Of hundreds of years of friction has caused the participants to take eX- aggeratod views Of their grievances, and bot-headod. precipitate action may be playing no little part in tbe drama which means the spill ing or blood of thousands
 IT the present flight would clean up the misunderstanding Of centur- les. and bring on decided and defin- ite boundaries, with we'll defined powers iu control on both sides, it would be a blessing to millions of people on both sides, it would be a blessing Go millions Of people on both sides of the fighting line Thir- ty million Balkans and their neigh bors are affected; millions of Turks are involved. Montenegro. Che na- ton first declaring war. it must be remembered. has but $500 square miles and only 22S.Oo0 people. Her waiyiug of Che fire brand may eX- cite the others to similar warlike action. Any war always means danger of widespread couflagratiou.
 The Montenegrins have the fight ing heart. It cannot be said an Turks have, especially when called to war from such widely separated regions as those from the Turkish army is recruited. Hence the Moutenegrius. and the same may be said to degree of her allies, may be expected to do by far the more daring and effective fighting for their numbers. But the Turk is resourceful. with a vast popula- ton and a vast country on which Co draw. It is nasty fight, and grave doubt exists if the people win be any further along in actual understanding and benefits to them selves when the conflict will have ended than they are today. -Daw- --..

Solemn Farees That Have Been En-
 acted ln the British Navy.
 Itisa rule in the British navy that when a ship is cast away or otherwise lost a court martial must sit in order to apportion tho blame. Sometimes these courts really try and condemn those that are held to be responsible At other times their duties are, from Che very nature of the catastrophe more or less nominal
 Thus, when the Serpent was lost oof the Spanish coast. a court martial as scmbled and solelunly "tried" three or dinary bluejackets, the sole survivors. although they Of course had no more Co do with the error in navigation which led up to the catastrophe than the man in the moon.
 A similar solemn farce was enacted after the loss ol the Captain in the bay of Biscay. when ;S3 officers and men lost their lives In this cgse sumner named James May. one of the eighteen who escitped from the wreck. was the nominal "culprit The yer. dirt was that the loss Of the ship was due fa instability and faulty couSiFuc. tion This really amounted to a vote of censure on Cnwpcr Coles. the de- signer. but as Re went down yith the unEainly monster he bad crea'ea he was beyond ihc reach of "l'her blame or praise -

Mill Practically Assured.

George Basore has been down from Kingston this week looking into further details concerning the establishment of a roller mil in Green Forest. He in formed The Tribune that he has met with really better encouragement in regard to the wheat acreage than he had expected and that there are only a few details to be worked out now be- fore he is ready to start in earnest to build the plant
 MT. Basore says that over 5000 acres of wheat has been reported in territo- ry adjacent to Green Forest and he be- lieves that close canvass would find at least thousand more, which indi- cates a good business for mill pro- vided, of course, it is able to get it, and he is willing to risk that.
 The location of the mill is one that is rather hard to decide. There are several good reasons why it should be we'll up toward the business center of town, while there are other almost as important reasons why it should be on the railroad siding. Mir. Basore, how ever, favors the up town location if a suitable place can be secured

Annual School Election Saturday

No election to be held this year is drought with so much interest to the home as is the annual school meeting next Saturday.
 This election means more, if possible, to Green Forest people than it does to the country in general, for Green For est is nothing if not school town. Not only does the education of our children depend upon the maintenance of our school system, but the vital busi- ness interest of our community are based upon it as well. We know this to be true from sad experience. Let us profit by the past and keep right on this school question. People who are ordinarily sound upon such questions sometimes get wrought up by some prejudice and forget.
 It takes certain means always to ac- complish certain ends. This is especial ly true in school matters. Let us em- ploy the right means.
 We hope for good turn out at the election Saturday and big vote boiled in the interes of Green Forest.
