was feeling good. She had scarce

RICH STRIKE IN
TATUM PROPERTY

VALDEZ, Feb. 1-Former Senator
Millard has struck a 5foot lead of
high grade ore on his Tatem prop
erty, located near This place. The
strike has caused considerable ex-
element and it is understood that
the development of the mine will be
pushed as rapidly as possible.
The shaft has been sunk for 20
feet on the new lead, and the vein
continues to show up well, with well
defined walls. THhere is enough
ore in sight, it is declared, to pay
for the property the development
work and the cost of the mill.
1t was announced yesterday that
work Of reducing the ore of the Tatum
mine will begin within a month. The
mill is now being made ready for
operation.
The Tatum property was bonded
by Senator Millard two or three
months ago, and development work
was begun almost at once. The as
sayed value Of the ore in the newly
discovered lead has not been an
nounced, but it is said to be sur
orisingly high.

them for their trouble, while
others expressed indignation, and
said that they knew enough to
go to church if they cared to
do so without having to be re
minded about it.
Whether it was due to the ef-

the campaign that had previously
been made, is not certain, but
the churches were filled almost
to full capacity at the services
this morning.

Congress Urged to
Stop Misbranding

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-Resolutioss
passed by the Domestic Science con-
vention that is being held in this
city, urges congress to make the
misbranding of food products Grim
nal offense. punishable by imprison-
ment.
In spirited speeches before the con-
vention, it was charged that much
disease and death results every year
from the misbranding OF food, MAX
ing it possible for manufacturers to
place unwholesome products on the
market without the knowledge OF the
buyers.
Nearly every state has laws provid-
ing for the proper labelling OF foods,
but it is held that some Of the state
laws are not properly enforced. and
that 1t remains for the national gov
ernment to take the matter IN hand
and to put an end to the practice OF
wholesale food frauds.

EARLY ACTION IN

Ed NECESSARY.
Plans for the proposed exposition to

Plans for the proposed exposition to
be held in Fairbanks in 1917 are eXpec-
ed to take definite form at the meet
ing of the Commercial club, on Mon
day, February 8. Immediate action
is deemed to be necessary as it is
expected that the proposed railroad
will be completed by 1917, which will
nsure the exposition much greater
success than would have otherwise
been expected.
j. H. Groves, president of the
Commercial club. has announced his
intention of presenting to the organ
ization at its next meeting the adj
visibility of initiating plans for the
exposition at once. Mr. Groves and H E
ST. George, secretary of the club,
are both of the opinion that the club
will spare no effort in making the
exposition an assured thing.
Some people of Fairbanks have
not been taking the proposed exposition
seriously said Mr. Groves, but
now that the railroad will probably
be completed by 1917, there is no
reason why we should not have an
exposition that will draw many people
here and will aid in advertising AL
aska's various resources.
1T will take time to work out the
plans for the event, and it will be we'll
to get busy soon. | think that the
Commercial club will get behind the
plan and push it through"
Mr.. ST. George expressed enthus
iasm for the plan, and said he was
willing TO wager that the railroad
would be completed by the middle Of

Girl Turns in Fire
Alarm to See Lover
CONCERNING CALLS TO ONE
NEiGHBORHOOD.

SPRINGFIELD. Mo, Feb. L
Numerous false fire alarms in a
given district troubled the city
department for some time and
was a serious mystery until a
girl in the neighborhood was ar
rested and confessed to having
been the cause of them. She said
she had turned in the fire alarms
so she could see her lover. who
belonged to the fire department,
pass by the house on the way to
the supposed fire.
When arrested by detectives
today the girl broke down and
said she had not intended to
cause the city any trouble, but
that she had only thought of
seeing her lover. After giving
Ter severe lecture. the girl
was given her liberty, by the
court. with the understanding
that she would not send in any
more alarms.
When questioned concerning
the affair, the fireman lover said
he knew nothing of the cause of
the false alarms. though he said
that he had noticed that his
sweetheart was always on hand
to wave a greeting at him when
he passed in answer to the calls.

MAY HELP FAIRBANKS SOME
FEASIBLE PLAN OUTLINED FOR
LINE FROM PORTAGE BAY TO
CONNECT WITH THE ALASKA
NORTHERN ONSHORE OF TURN
AGAIN ARM.

WASHINGTON. Feb. THAT a
distance of 63 miles may be clipped
from the proposed railroad to the
Matanuska coal fields by the cons rue
ion of a PORTAGE road from Por age
bay to Turnagain Arm. at cost Of
less than $5,000,000, Is the asser-
ton of Professor Martin of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin.
Professor Martin declares that when
he conducted the National Geographic
society exreditjon in Ala ka in 1910,
he and his associates discovered a
feasible route for a portage road that
would connect Portage BAY, near
Prince Williams sound, with the
Alaska Northern road on the shore
Of Turnagain Arm, distance OF IL
miles.
This would shorten the distance of
the proposed road to he coal fields
to 130 miles from tide a er md at
the same time would provide safer
port, it is asserted. than is found at
Seward, the present terminus Of the
Alaska Northern road.
Professor Martio's sug es ion will
be presented to the officials of the
government who will have the selec-
tion of the proposed railroad into
Interior Alaska, as proVi ed in the
bill recently adop.ed by the senate.
If this route proves to he all that is
claimed for it, it may solve the ques-
ton of the sea outlet for the road
that will probably connect the Tan
ana valley with the ocean.
route for a road has already
been surveyed from the Alaska North
ern line to Fairbanks, by way Of the
coal fields, and if the government ac-
1epts the route suggested bv Prof.
Martin, the road will serve the coal
fields and will also provide transpor-
tation for Interior Alaska to the
coast
1t Is explained by Prof. Martin
that the route he suggests viii re-
quire the construction Of tunnel
two miles in length. affording 'oW
grades and avoiding the glaciers that
have previously discouraged the con-
sideration of a route In that direc-
ton

would be assured more safety as

Fmemen Overcome
By Tobacco Smoke

NEW YORK, Feb. Fifty firemen
were overcome today in fight with
fire that consumed one of the big
gest tobacco warehouses in the city.
For a time It seemed that the flames
would get beyond control and would
sweep a large part of the adjoining
sec ion of the city.
1t was necessary to call for rein
forcements when the flames were
rapidly gaining ground. and the fire
department seemed to be unable to
heck their spread.
The burning tobacco caused dense
smoke that settled over the city,
carrying with it strong tobacco
odor. 1t was asserted by many fire
men that it was the worst smoke
that had ever been produced in the
-ity within their memory.

COAL TEST CAN
BE MADE MARCH |

CORDONA, Feb. Jack Dalton
expects to have the eight hundred
tons Of coal he has contracted to
bring to tide ater at Knik from
Chika' Don river in the Matanuska
valley, delivered before March /.
The coal is to be tested by the gov
ernment.
Dalton has been hurrying the work
as fast as possible, and he is now
accomplishing what was originally
deemed to be impossible. The gov
ernment has been notified that
the coal will be at tideWater by the
latter part of next month, and it is
expected that arrangements for the
proposed test will soon be made.
The coal is being mined under the
direction of government engineer.
Every indication tends to support
the theory that the coal will stand
the most severe naval test.
