ant feature of the whole affair. for II is necessary that the coal must be delivered 10 the coast when it IS mined and thus the early coH,- pletion of the government railroad from the coast 10 the Matanuska coal fields. will be essential. it seems.
 Looking al the matter from this point of view. il would not be sur prisins if congress soon orders the beginning of construction on the coast end of the railroad, and as the winter weather need not inter fere with much of the preliminary work. it can be started as soon as supplies are landed there.

UNITED STATES THREATENED

France and Great Britain have at tempted to keep the United States from buying German merchant ships The sentiment of congress seems to be favorable to buying the ships, in spite of the protests of the two great powers that are warning with Germany.
 There seems to be some danger that the attitude of the United States to ignore the demands of France and Great Britain may re- suit in involving us in the European war. though, if the matter can be settled automatically it is certain that this country will do what 1t can to preserve it's rights without invoking foreign trouble.
 There seems to be nothing in the neutrality laws of the nations of the world to prevent the United States from buying merchant ships of nation involved in war, as long as the purchase is made by American citizens in good faith, and not for the purpose of temper arily taking possession of them with their owners after peace has been declared
 If France and England can show that the purchase of the German ships will be- for the purpose of aiding Germany as nation, then there would be some ground for their protests, but as long as the United States is not violating any international agreement and is do- ing nothing that will interfere with it's declaration of neutrality, they have no just cause for complaint.
 If the United States should heed the protests made by France and England and should refuse to buy the German ships simply for the reason that the enemies of Ger many want to have chance to cap ture them, this country would in directly be showing favoritism for the allied powers, and would not be neutral Furthermore, in that case, the United States would be sacri- ficing it's national honor by cover ing to a polite threat, daring this nation to do that which it has the moral right to do.

PEOPLE GOING OUTSIDE

It has been asserted that more people than usual are leaving this fall for the Outside. and this is taken by some to mean that the city will suffer as d result. But where the city will lose by the departure of some of its best citizens il will benefit in other ways.
 The principal reason for the de parture for the Outside of so many oople of this city this year is the fact that the San Francisco fair will open next February and the people. who are going to the fair would rather see il in the winter time, so they can return here for the summers activities.
 II is almost certain that every resident of Fairbanks who visits the big exposition will have much opportunity to boost this city among the hundreds of people he will meet there, and in that way the city will benefit by their attendance al the exposition.
 It is important that people on the Outside should know the real con ditions here for at this tme, just as the construction of the govern ment railroad is about to begin, mis- representation of Fairbanks can do it more harm than at any other time Thus. people going to the Outside should do what they can to impress others with the fact that this is a land of opportunity for people of enterprise and am btion, and that those who have no money or assurance of employment here should not come.
 It was expected last spring a large number of people would come to Fairbanks this year to be on hand when the railroad work start ed but they did not come as eY- pected The reason for this. it seems, was the hard times that pre- vailed on the Outside Then. too there was much uncertainty in re gard to where the road would be constructed, and this must have caused many to postpone coming until the route has been outlined definitely
 It is reasonable to expect that as soon as the government has official ly announced it's railroad route, a new impulse will be given to inn migration into Alaska, and that Fairbanks will get it's share of the people who will be seeking homes in this undeveloped territory

WILSON, THE PACIFlCATOR.

Henry Clay was known as the Great Pacificator." but today we have great statesman who is more entitled to that distinction than was the eloquent Henry Clay, and his name is Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States.
 IL is interesting to note how the Outside newspapers that were crit icising President Wilson for not de claring war on Mexico. have since complimented him for the very thing that they criticised previously. l. proves that his foresight and good Judgment were better than those of thousands who set themselves up as his critics.
 Soon after the European war broke out. there was a tendency among the excitable element of our people to want this country to take sides, at least in giving it's moral support to one or the other side of the great controversy.
 It was then that the cautious, conservative President of our coun- try came forward with a warning that has been needed all over the land. He said that the United States had no place in the con flict. and that if it is to keep out of il, the people themselves must be neutral in their expressed senti ments The logic of this warning was so apparent that the newspap- CTS of the country are now express ing only unbiased views of the war, and it seems certain that if the United States is drawn into the con flict it will not be through the un- due eXcitability of it's people.
 The word of caution given by President Wilson to the people of the country was given through the newspaper men who were admitted to a conference with him at the White House. and in part is as follows:
 "I would urge you not to give cur renCy to any unverified rumor or to anything that would tend to create or add to excitement. I think that you will agree that we must all at the present moment act together as Americans in seeing that Ameri- ca does not suffer any unnecessary distress from what is going on in the world at large.
 Not that the United States has her own position is sound and she owes it to mankind to remain in such a state of mind that she can help the rest of the world.
 "I want to have the pride of feeling that America, if nobody else, has her self-possession and stands ready with calmness of thought and steadiness of purpose, to help the rest of the world And We can do it and reap great, permanent glory out of doing it, provided we all CO., operate to see that nobody loses his head 7"

plained by Dr Naseher 10 be due To atrophy of the sebaceous glands of the hair roots He gives some useful suggestions for treating this condition.
 The diminished sebum can be replaced by animal oil or fat. he says 'Petrolatum is not an animal fat and its employment is harmful The mouths of the follicles should be cleaned out by washing the scalp with a per cent solution of bibor- ate of soda After the head has been cleaned a mild stimulant should be used The best for this purpose is tincture of cantharides. capsiCum or jarborandi. using l dram of the tincture to ounces of water. The fat or oil should be used only after the scalp is thoroughly dried. lt may be mentioned that when hair oils. which consisted of animal fats. were used, badness was far less prevalent than now
 Tt should be comforting to many to know that old age. when healthy and normal. has its compensations. The resistance 10 bacterial influences is apparently greater in old age than in earlier life"

Believed Victims
 Body IS Located

Following the necessary authority from Washington District Attorney Crossley has sent telegram to his assistant, BiOn Dodge at Ruby to go 10 Mountain village in the Second division. on the lower Yukon. and have a medical examination made of the body of woman that was buried there in June It is believed that the body is that of Dutch Marie Schmidt, believed to have been one of the victims of BIueberry Tommy in the summer of 1912.
 The body was washed ashore on the Yukon. about 125 miles from the mouth of the river. last June It was in doeomposed condition, and Commissioner Waska at Mar shal city ordered its burial without inquest. Two doctors will be taken by Mr. Dodge to the grave. to give the body thorough examination.
 Blueberry Tommy or Thomas Johnson. is accused of having killed Dutch Marie schmidt, Frank Adams and a man known as Fiddler John" on the koyukuk river in the sum- mer of 1912, though the bodies have never been located. He was bring ing them down the river in the launch Seal Pup, which was recent ly found. Blueberry Tommy is known to have spent much money in Seattle and San Francisco, which is supposed to have been taken from his victims.

PETITION FOR 4 BRIDGE.


 People who come to Fairbanks to spend their money have paid for the erection of new bridge each year, with the exception of one year. since the first bridge was first built This year they were taxed for the erection of one en- tirely new bridge and later for the reconstruction of an important part of it.
 In all that time, there has been much talk about the necessity of getting the government to build a permanent bridge across the slough. but it never went any further than the expressing of general senti- ment that something should be done to get the government to build the bridge.
 IL is time now that something should be done Colonel Richard son. who is at the head of the Alaska Road commission, has said that the commission will erect the bridge if money enough for it is appropriated.
 The people of Fairbanks and the surrounding country are now in much the same position that the people of Valdez were when they needed a dike built there to pro tect the city But in the case of Valdez, congress was finally indue- ed to make special appropriation for the dike. separate from that made for roads. and the Road com mission built it.
 If the Fairbanks Commercial club will circulate petition, asking congress for a special appropriation for the bridge. il would be certain 10 get the signature of almost every voter and resident in this district This is the most important duty now before that club, and if the executive board of the club is to do anything to get action in con gress before appropriations are made for next season it's members must get busy now and without any further delay
 One of the first things that should be done should be to get every candidate for delegate to con gress to pledge himself. if elected, to work for the erection of a per manent bridge across the Cinema slough at Fairbanks. Any candi date refusing to make such pledge, no matter who he may be. should not receive the support of the peo- pie of this locality.
 It remains to be seen now if the Commercial Club will take action in this matter, or if it will be ne cessary for committee of citizens to take it up and see that some thing is accomplished soon.

WAR MAY HURRY ROAD.

In it's first issue after Great Brit ain became involved in the European war, The Citizen suggested editor ially, that the development of the Alaska coal fields would be hurried as the coal supply from Canada would be cut off indefinitely. It seems that our prediction has proved true, for the matter of leasing the coal fields of Alaska has received special attention in congress since that time.
 IL was soon after the declaration of war on the part of Great Britain that the civic bodies of Cordova and Valdez telegraphed to President Wilson a request that immediate steps be taken for the development of the Alaska coal fields, owing to the cutting off of the Canadian sup ply. The matter was brought to the attention of the Seattle Cham Der of Commerce, which used it's influence with congress in the same direction.
 It is true that the United States will not specially suffer for want of coal as a result of the war, for it has many coal mines to meet its own demands, but the greatest sources of coal are in the South and East, and are not convenient to the Pacific coast Thus there is now a growing necessity for the early de- velopment of the Alaska coal fields.
 This being true. it is to be ex- pected that one of the first things that congress will do will be to lease at least a part of the fields, with the understanding that they must be developed immediately. Failing to lease the mines under suitable conditions, it is probable that the United States will consider some plan of directing the early develop ment work of it's mines in this Territory.
 But this is not the most import
