CANADIANS MAY
 BE IN EGYPT
HOW THE TROOPS FROM THIS SIDE WERE PREPARED
 FOR FIGHTING.
(By The Associated Press.A

SALISBURY, England, Dec. 2l.- Canadian troops encamped at Sails bury Plain have had a rough exper- fence since they landed in England. It has rained nearly every day since the Canadians entered into camp here and the flat grounds are a sea of mud.
 All branches of the service have been greatly handicapped by the mud and rain. Drill has been very trying. However, the Canadian organizations are showing the best of spirit and patiently undergoing the training necessary to qualify them for service at the front.
 A complete reorganization in the Canadian troops is taking place to make them uniform with the British army. Instead of having each comp any act as a separate unit, two comp anies are combined, one captain acting as the senior officer, the other as his assistant, and each lieutenant com manding one of four platOOns with about sixty men each, This plan makes it possible for the senior cap tain to be relieved of all routine dut- ies so he can give his time to the broader administrative and military problems. The Canadians have taken very kindly to the change, the lieuten- ants being especially fond of the plan as it places greater responsibility and

 The hearts of the people of this dis trict were gladdened on Wednesday last by the arrival of the first mail since October 4. About noon word was telephoned in from Discovery that the mail had arrived there, and from that time on there was buzz Of excite ment until the mail had been deliver ed, sorted and distributed.
 There were seven sacks of mail for Iditarod and two for Flat City, and much of it was first class.
 The successful completion of the first trip over the new mail route with in the time limit was taken as a happy augury for the future, and it is quite generally believed that the regular

SAYS RUSSIANS HAVE

PETROGRAD, Dec. 21.-"What l saw at the headquarters of the Rus sian Commander-in-chief, the Grand Duke Nicholas, would convince blind man that Russia has made great strides in ten years" writes a cores pondent of the Russkoe Slovo. "At headquarters there is not single in- dividual who is not absolutely neces- sary for the work to be done. The sil- ence of a monastery resigns there, and you can distinctly hear the pulse-beats of the army. Work begins in the early morning, frequently before daybreak'

Everybody wore the sort of expression which in- dicates that there is not a minute to be lost, that all the time must be uti- lized to the full. In .pite of this, the atmosphere was democratic, there was no air of official importance about any one.

 Rumors are circulated in camp al most daily that the Canadian contin- gent will be sent to Egypt as soon as it is whipped into shape. The Canad- ians are quite willing to go anywhere where there is fighting.

In his annual report to Congress Governor Strong of Alaska, urges closer governmental supervision, asks that the conservation of the fisheries resources be made more drastic, re- comments that the government build many miles of wagon roads and trails to supplement the government rail road, and asks a larger appropriation for stamping out disease and pesti- lence among the native population.
 White population of Alaska is esti- mated by Governor Strong to be 39,- 900. The mineral output this year, the report says, will be S19,5OO,OOO, while the yield from the fishing industries will be SI5,754,OOO.

Philadelphia has now reached the stage
when its present outsrown transit sys-

HEAR ARGUMENT FOR
PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
Delos F. Wilcox, Franchise
Expert, Tells Conference
Utilities Should be Oper-
ated. by Municipalities.
TOLEDO DEMANDS
PUBLIC SERVICE

The people of Toledo have been
awakened TO the fact that public utili-
ties corporations obtain their right 20
exist from the people; that the cor
porations must serve the people eco
nomically and well, and that when
they no longer serve the best interests
and operate only in the interests of a
few stockholders and hlgh-salarled
officials, 1t becomes the right of citi-
zens to operate the public utilities cor
porations themselves.
The people of Toledo will never again
grant a franchise that does not con-
tain a clause giving them the right
to purchase public utility corporation
at its physical value. They realize In
fiated franchise values increase the
price they must pay for the Service
corporations supply They win endure
this no longer
The street car company In Toledo at
present Is operating without fran
chise because the company will not
give better service at a lower rate OF
fare. The experiences of Toledo will
benefit the nation.

efforts to obtain better transit facili-
ties.
