WAR CUTS RECEIPTS
 OF SEATTLE CUSTOMS


 SEATTLE, Sept. S.-Recelpts of the Seattle custom house during the month of August were approximately $10OOO less than for July, according to figures given out today. This com parlson of collections, 1t Is declared, affords the first opportunity that has occurred to judge of the effect the European war is having upon the im- port and export trade of the Pacific Coast.
 The most noticeable depreciation has occurred in bonded merchandise received at Eastern ports for immed- fate transportation to the Pacific Coast. It is asserted that 1000 less of these received during August, 1914, than during the corresponding month last year.
 Entries of goods arriving direct at the ports of this district and released from customs supervision here have not noticeably decreased. The de. preciation in immediate transportation shipments, however. has had the eff. feet of greatly lessening the revenues of the local custom house.
 Comparison of the receipts of Aug ust, 1914, with those of August, 1913, shows total of $113,43953 for the month just closed and $1374S9.SO for August of last year. Receipts of this port for July, 1914, were $123,37S.57 or $9,9S9.O4 more than for August.

FAIRBANKS SHOULD
 STICK TO QUARTZ

There's no reasonable doubt but that we have gcod quartz in the Tan. ana valley, and plenty of it. Numer- ous prospects have been developed to a point where they show that, with reasonable cost of operation, they would be money makers, and return good profits to their owners. Every year brings cheaper production nearer to us, and in a few more years our quartz wealth will be one of the,prin. cipal resources of our district.
 Men who have money invested in any prospect in the camp, and which prospect has had lot of work done on it and a lot of money spent on 1t and shows good promise or hope for the future, should stay with taat one prospect and do all in their pover to make 1t proven mine. The r.sults win pay them richly for their loyalty and support, and the future of the camp depends upon just such faith, loyalty and enterprise. - Fairbanks News-Miner.

 After the French line had beeR forced back, a strong position was taken extending from verdun to Se- dan.
 In the former place, the French had the protection of a remarkable sys- tenn of defenses, including sixteen large forts and twenty smaller works, with a perimeter of about thirty miles.
 These extensive defenses have a diameter, at the widest place, of about nine niles

 TOLLS ON NEWS


 The Canadian government has re. duced the tolls on press messages from Vancouver to Dawson to one. half cent per word. The cut has been made in order that the residents of the northern territory would be en. abled to secure complete telegraphic accounts of the doings of the world and especially the European war news.
 The residents of Yukon are in. tensely patriotic and demand full re. ports of the engagements in which British troops are taking part in France and Germany. The Yukon newspapers, like the Alaskan press. have been under heavy expense in supplying the war news but have been getting a splendid service. Many subscribers of the Dawson News, understanding the situation. offered to pay double the regular rate. The government has acted quickly and has relieved both the newspapers and their readers of the unnecessary heavy expense.-Dawson News.

sKAGWAY READY
 FOR THIRD FAIR


 The third annual fair, hortlcul. tlufal, agricultural, industrial and min, erai exhibition which will take place in skagway on September 18th, 1914, promIses to be one of the best exposl. tIona of the resources of the Skagway valley and other northern sections that has ever been held here.
 The B. M. Behrends building on Broadway, between Fifth and ,ixth avenues, where the fair was held last year has been secured.
 It is the intention to conduct the fair this year along different lines from those Of last year in many ways. For instance: the association will give more valuable prizes and liberal cash premiums than last year, and as there was good deal of dissatisfaction ex- pressed over the awards being made oy judges unaequainted with the mer- its of the exhibits 1t has been decided, if possible, to secure tho services of A. H. Tomllnson, provincial horticul. turlst of British Columbia, resident at Prince Rupert, and who was here the 1st of July on his way out from a visit to Atlin, and at that time ex- pressed his determination to be pres. ent at the fair this year.
 There is much interest being taken by the horticulturists as well as the doriculturallsts of the Skagway valley and elsewhere within the sections tributary to the local exposition, as 1t Is felt, and justly SO, that an annual eyent of this character has more to do with the effective exploitation and advertising to the world of our ad. vantages than is possible through oth- CT channels.
 The business men of Skagway real ize this also and have signifled their intention Of making creditable dis. plays in all lines, and are only await ing the time for the allotment of space to come around in order to secure places for placing exhibits.
 The same low rates will obtain on the transportation lines that were in force at previous fairs, between skag. way and Whitehorse, and all lnterme- diate points, and the tickets will be good from Friday until Monday. inclu. sive.
 For the amusement and entertain- ment of visitors preparations are al ready being made along certain lines, not the least attractive, of which will be a dance to be given in the eve ming. Alaskan.
