NEWS NOTES

Charles Larsen who recently ar rived is on the way to Knik where he has taken up a ranch. He will proceed on his arrival there to build a house.
 The Seattle Post Intelligencer of December 16 declares that there must be some secret history to be un- covered some time of the reason why ten years have elapsed since the value of the Matanuska coal was first pro ven without any effort being made to open the fields. During that time, it says, the government has paid a mil lion a year to have coal shipped out to the Pacific.
 Martin Lanning has returned after taking R. E. Mcdonald and his nov ing picture to Knik. He says the ice gives good trail where there is no snow.

THOUSANDS OF BULLETS
 TO KILL ONE SOLDIER
lBy The Assoeiated Press.

Wy @--N
 LONDON, Dec. 22.-one of the things frequently noted by soldiers at the front in writing to relatives and friends is the extraordinary expendi- ture of bullets required to kill man. A German report states that many German soldiers fired 4,OO0 cartridges apiece during the first month of the war. An English observer estimated that p German shells are wasted for every man killed by them.
 In 1870 it was calculated that the Germans fired 15O bullets and six shrapnel shells for every wounded Frenchman. In the Russo-Japanese War it is said 5000 bullets were fired for every life lost.

 DELEGATE FIGHT Fairbanks Republicans Oroanjzino club-Four Candidates for
 Delegates Job.

The Fairbanks Times of May 18th i states that the Republicans of the interior city are quietly and indus triously preparing for the coming del egate campaign, which is to be open l ed during the coming summer months, and with view to perfecting the political machine in Fairbanks, and are forming a Republican club. It is stated that the enrolment is quite large at the present time and the organizers are planning for a rousing meeting in the near future. Upon good authority. 1t is stated that the Republicans expect to put candidate in the field for the campaign, and primaries are to be held within a short time. The article further says:
 While the movement has been started toward forming a Wicker sham club. it is stated that many of the delegates friends contemplate such a move, and it may constitute the third political club in the Panama valley.
 According to the avowed intention of the Democrats, they will have a candidate in the cid off the delegate ship. The Socialists are now pre- pairing to put their champion before the public. The Republicans are get ting their machine in shape to start business, and it is almost certain that Delegate Wickersham will ask for re- election, according to letters received from him.
 Should all these candidates be nominated, the four-cornered fight would be one of the most interesting ever held in the north, as the mem bers of the different organizations state that they are to make the great est campaign in the history of their respective organizations"
