CARNIVAL SPIRIT
 AT FAIRBANKS

Confetd.strewn walks and streets, flags and bunting still flying. an oc. casional masker stGl in evidepce reluctant to allow yesterday to erd, here and there a place of business which forgot to open it's doors this morning-all so to mark the close or finish of the greatest celebration of Native Sons day, Fairbanks ever saw, The greatest procession over, the greatest show our youngsters ever saw and a revival of the spirit which has made Fairbanks the best town in Alaska and which spirit 1t was feared had almost perished from our camp.
 It's poor heart which never re- joices. and there are many staunch hearts still with us. All work and no play tends to retrogression, and it is better to laugh than to cry. It is only matter of few years until the Native Sons and Daughters will be old enough to take up the entire man. agement of their annual festival and furnish the celebration spirit as only the young can furnish it, and in the meantime it is good to know that there are enough old boys and girls who still have celebration in them to keep the spirit of fun going until their successors can take over the whole job.
 There's a kick or two left in the Old Town yet.-Fairbanks News-Min- CT.

NEW PASTOR FOR
 CATHOLIC CHURCH

According to a late Spokane news paper Rev. Father A. R. Drathman is to be succeeded as pastor of the Cath. olic church at this place by Rev. Fath. CT James Kennedy, for 12 years con. nected with Gonzaga University the Catholic institution for higher educa. tion at the metropolis of Washington States Inland Empire.
 The article follows:
 Word received last night from the western province of the Jesuit order appoints the Rev. Father James Ken. nelly, for years prefect of Gonzaga University, to the position of pastor of the church at Juneau, Alaska. In the same communication the Rev. Father George M. Bailey is ordered to accompany Father Kennedy to Alaska, and assist him in the erection of parish church at Juneau.
 Father Kennedy spent 12 years at Gonzaga Father Bailey was at Con. zaga for seven years, and recently re- turned to the work here after an ab- sence of five years in Europe. Both men will leave for Alaska August B."
 Chester Murphy, who with his fath. CT has contract to build the service buildings at the Jualin mine, knows Father Kennedy, of Gonzaga Univer- sity, where he received his college training. He says no man connected with that institution would be missed more than he will be when be leaves there. He was prefect of discipline, and MT. Murphy says all the young men at the university love him. Mir. Murphy also was student in his school days under Father A. R. Drath- man, of Juneau. and agrees with the sentiment at this place that the only unfavorable thing in connection with the Spokane story is the intimation that 1t contains that Father Drathman may be transferred from this field. Father Drathman has endeared him. self to a wide circle of friends outside of his church as we'll as in it since coming to Juneau.

SOUTHERN RAILROAD MAN
 ENTHUSIASTIC OVER ALASKA

George D. Hunter, general freight and passenger agent of the Texas Pa cific railroad with headquarters in Dal- las, Texas, was among the round trip passengers aboard the Spokane on the last voyage of that vessel. He was ac- companied on the journey by Mrs. Hunter. They are both enthralled with the Northland and speak in en- thusiastic terms of the wonderful scenic beauty and great natural re- sources. The mountains are particu- larly appealing, they said, and invite a second visit to the country. Mir. Hunter said that he very much regret. ted that he could not stop over in Ju- ueau and give another week to South eastern Alaska.

RussIa Has 1,sOO,OOO Under Arms.

ST. PETERSBURG, July SO.-The ukase of the Czar issued lastnight call ing out the first and second reserves and large numbers of the third reserv- es is being responded to with alacrity. Troops are mobilizing throughout Russia in Europe, and all railroad tracks are filled to capacity with trains, moving toward the Austrian border. Four whole army corps have been thrown into the districts adjoin- ing the Austrian frontier, and thous- ands are masslng at stragetic points between St. Petersburg and Warsaw and the German boundary.
 Calculations made at the War Office today disclosed that more than 1,300,- 900 men will be under arms before midnight, and equipped to enter bat tie. The mobilization is being extend. ed to the remote sections of the coun- try with all possible rapidity. No one here feels that there is any longer any question of doubt about the war. It is taken for granted that Russia is about to engage in the most serious war from a national standpoint in the history of the country.

CANADIAN PAPER ON
 WAVING OF FLAG

Woodrow Wilson's brief oration on the flag. it's uses. It's dignity, and it's meaning. is one of the most telling and inspiring things ever utteder by a man in the Presidential chair. It Is a de- claration that will love long after Mir. Wilson has passed to his fathers. President Wilson's remarks should be applicable not only to the partlcu- lar flag which he had in mind. but to all flags and, let us hope, most of all to our own reyered Union Jack:
 This flag Is henceforth to stand for seltpossession, for dignity. for the as- sertion of the right of one nation to serve the other nations of the world an emblem that will not condescend to be used for purposes of aggression and selt.aggrandizement: that is too great to be debased by selfshness; that has yindicated its right to be hon. ored by all nations of the world and feared by none who do righteousness"
 We have been wont to scorn the lag wavers of the United States, but, goodness knows, we have far too many flag haunters in Canada. There have been people. indeed. shortsighted enough to advise that Canadians should enter into rivalry with the insane flag wavers of the republic.
 Sometimes we have been inclined to believe the man who most parades his flag. who waves it on any and every occasion. is among the least loy- al to that flag. We get the suspicion that he is trying to hide something be- heath the folds of his flag.
 The best lover of the flag is he who regards 1t as too sacred to be lightly used, who attaches to 1t too much dig. nifty and respect to permit it to be simply red rag to bull.
 President Wilson's oration on the lag might. with advantage to interua- tional good will. be incorporated in the school readers of both the United States and Canada. - Ottawa Press Press.

Naptha now sells at 16h cents in bulk and 2S cents in cases; gasoline 175a cents in bulk and 24 cents in cases. This is a drop of half cent per gal, lon in both kinds of oil.

The sale of the To- cal agency is around 15OO gallons per day and Is steadily on the increase as the various outsiders learn that they can get oil so cheap in Wrangell.- Wrangell Sentinel.

JUNEAU COMPANY MAY
 GET WRANGELL MINE

If the expert investigation that Is now going on of the mines in the Groundhog Basin is of a favorable na. ture the properties will be taken over by the Alaska Gastineau Mining Co.,, in the next few months and unlimited capital furnished for their develop ment.
 The properties belong to MT. w. D. Grant and considerable work has been done on them already. A. D. Nash, consulting engineer for the above company has been on the ground for some time, and after being in Wran. gell for few days will return there to make a thorough and comprehensive examination of these claims for his company.
 The opening up and working of these claims means much to this section of the country for there are mountains of low grade ore in addition to the higher grades, that can be profltably worked once company with sufi- cient capital takes hold and opens this rich section of the country. And if the Alaska Gastineau takes hold of them it will mean that they will be opened up in the near future. but much remains on the report that MT. Nash makes of the ground whether that company will take hold of them or not, but it is the under feeling of all concerned that the report will be very favorable and before many months the Groundhog Basin will be one of the rich mining sections of Southeastern Alasla.-Wrangell Sen- tinel

Austria May Wait.

BERLIN, July 30. It Is believed here that the Emperor has prevailed upon the Austrian government to de- lay invasion of SeTyia until he gives the word. Never before has Germany and its Emperor labored so hard in behalf of peace as during the last 4S hours. The apparent determination of the Russian government to force a complete back down by the tripple al liance or an European war has made the task of the Emperor to maintain the National dignity without involving his country and, possibly, France, Great Britain and Italy extremely diff. cult.
