 Threats are being made that charges will be fled against the district attorney for failing to carry out the provisions of that section of the Alaska code under which the saloons have been closed
 Owing to this stand, the saloon men are ,ntagonizing other business interests, and the result is pretty warm fight in the city, which may result in the city election .oning along lines looking towards closer control of the saloon business.

TONS OF ORE AND GRAIN
 SENT BY PARCEL POST

Spokane, Wash, Feb PA long dis tance distress call was received by the postoffice inspectors Friday morning from carrier who holds the contract to trans port the mail between Sites and Elk City, Idaho, a distance of sixty miles by wagon road. The carrier Friday morning received notice from the management Of three mines in the Elk River country informing him that the mines will ship three carloads of concentrates this month by parcel post 10 the Butte shelter.
 "What in the wide, shining world am going to do?" asked the contractor, fran l tically.
 | 'How much concentrates did you say the mines expect to ship?" queried the in spector.
 Three carloads, and all in fifty pound packages" answered the mail man. Tt will take me year to haul the stuff, unless 1 get some teams to team it out of the | Elk River country to the railroad"
 The inspectors assured the postman that l they will get 9 speedy requiSitIon from the department authorizing the mail man to employ freighters to haul the concentrates In the meantime the carrier will haul what ore he can on his one trip a day with q light wagon.
 The inspectors were informed from other sources also that the mines i'll the Elk River country expect to ship all of their concen- tr2tes by parcel post in the future instead of by freight, as in the past. The rate by parcel post is 54 cents for the maximum, fifty pounds, or $1O8 hundred delivered at the Butte shelter The previous ar rangement cost the mines much more than SlOS, as the freightlng to the railroad alone cost $l
 The inspectors were also notified by the contractor who carries the mail on the ">tar' route between Paradise, Ore, and Auatola Wash, that a farmer at Paradise has notified the postmaster that he will ship @,GU0 pounds of timothy seed to a ItNlNlOl, l'tA-4O, Bl uIi iipuSC t4LI0 IA4Ht4NI!' The timothy seed will be sent by parcel post
 "What shall I do:" inquired the con tractor over Icng distance telephone. This is horseback route, you know, and I can t possibly take more than one sack day, wh:,h will mean that will have to drag that stuff for over two months
 Use your own judgment. The depart mcut can't hire a troop cf cavalry to move that seed" was the inspectors answer.
 This parcel post business is becoming Q genuine problem" said the inspector in charge. "Two call, to-day over ng-dis t@nee telephone have emphasized the fact again th&. the popularity of the parcel post is just maniiestiug itself"

MINING DEAL CONSUMIATED
 BY IDiTAROD OPERATORS
(Ruby Record-Citizen. March 14l


 A mining deal involving the sum of $64,- coo was consummated this morning. The Tanglefoot Association, on Greensboro creek, owned by Tom CofIey and asso- ciates, was transferred to John r. Holm gren, Peter Jensen and Duncan Michie for the above mentioned sum.
 The deal hsa been under consideration for some weeks past, the prospective puIchas- CTS being permitted to prospect the ground, They have put down 6fty-one holes on the property, crosscutting it in ten different places The average depth was found to be twelve feet. The purchasers gre well satisfied with their buy, and feel that they have been treated very fairly by the former owners of the ground.
 This ground was staked in 1911 and, like a number of other properties in the district, has practically remained untouched until within the past couple of months, a fortune awaiting someone with capital to take hold of it and get it out of the ground
 Further prospecting and quite a little preliminary work will be done during the spring and summer under the supervision of Mr Jensen, who will have charge of the operations. Machinery for working the ground will be landed at Ruby during the open season, and taken out over the trail after the freeze-up next fall, when it will be placd in position for operation the fol lowing seaS0n

NOTORIETY OVEG-CAP!TALlZED

I.-c's yray for peace below the southern border and give the President a chance, for we've got case of over capitalization to bring into court. It's the case of Gaby pesIys, says the Seattle Sun.
 Gaby DesIys, as 8 theatrical venture, rep resents over centralized notoriety
 1 A large audience greeted the young wom- ans appearance at the Moore last night and another large audience no doubt will greet her tonight. In each case, beyond the privilege of saying Well I've seen her. tie audience will be little the gainer For just as sure as there are clever actresses clever dancers and singers Gaby DesIys is not one of them. Of not particularly pleasing prettiness- as a glistening china plate the young Frenchwoman has unlimited audacity and unblushing greed of StIC NOj blIItI Nl't ttiil OIlt dtEblill IJl the manner in which she has permitted the capitalization Of her alleged misdeeds. Ger tainIy it is not because of a consciousness that she truly is an artist and can afford to suffer misunderstanding for the sake Of her art Scarcely.
 So Gaby DesIys adorns her fair, empty head in one after another of amazing hats that run the gamut from the impossibly beautiful to the utter grotesque, and half clothes her toerably shapely form in weird and occasionally attractive gowns not gowns in the ordinary sense, of course, stage gowns and strols on and off the stage through the presentation of ''The Little Parisenne" Now and then she dances with Harry Pilcer Ob- viously an effort to outdo all other of the 1913-14 dances it may fairly be said that in many respects the Deslys Pilcer dances do outdo them.

MILLIONS WILL BE SPENT
 TO DEVELOP ALASKA

Seattle Post IntelIgcnccr Feb. ?
 There has been much quiet talk among bankers the past week as to just what the government railway project and the open ing of Ala ka will mean to Seattle in a financial way.
 The S40,0O0,O00 which it is estimated the road will cost is by common consent but q small part of the total capital that will go into the development of the natural resources of the North.
 James F. Lane cashier of the Scandina vian American Bank, says he has heard the predictions range all the way up to a biI- lion, but thinks S20OOOO, 900 a conserva- tive estimate, figuring ahead for d period of five years, and that corporate and prl- vate interests will spend five dollars to the governments one, as the governments ac- tivities are predicated on the building of a railroad alone, while outside funds will find profitable employment in scores of di- rections.
 Wealth VIII Come Out, Too
 These estimates concern only the amount If new money that will go into Alaska de- vel0pment. The amount that will come back as result of this development can not even be guessed Mineral wealth has already come out, according to government figures to the enormous extent of &24S,- 3GO,000.
 The sources from which this develop ment monty will come are as varied as the ways in which it will be used A great teal of Seattle money will % back to where t originally came from when conditions are right The men who are now interested in Alaska in big way in corporate form will widen the scope of their activities.
 Morgan and Gysgenh?jm interests
 As showing how wide these r4lnihcations are. it is said that popular belief as to the size of the Morgan end Guggenheim inter c.s, which financed the develofment of the Ben az4 mine of Alaska and the Copper  River x NorrA~e.to~n -Lr.ad, is errone- ous. Though the voting power of the syn dic2.c is equally divided between these in. teresc. ir is coNtended that at the reque-t ol Kuhn, L.ah & Co., tie Gu--eoaeim inter- ests parted with ono-thtrI .r rho" h=!f in toresJ to the bankers and their friend. abroad. Ii js very probable that J. P Nor gan a Co. have a.so allotted q p4rticipa ton ia their 5o per cent to their clients.
