PROTEST Higher RATES
ON beer and TOBACCO
Liquor Interests Bring Strong Pressure
to-Prevent Adoption of War
Revenue Bill.
HOUSE AWAITS WILSON'S WORD

Strong pressure is being exerted by the
distiIling. brewing and tobacco interests
to prevent the adoption of increased
rates on their products in the bill that
will be presented soon to raise additional
revenue for the government to meet de-
ficiencies caused by the reduction in Gus
toms due TO the war. 1t is known that
spirituous liquors, malt beverages and
tobacco products are among the articles
that will receive attention when Congress
gets ready to pass the war revenue bill
The rates on beer and tobacco products
undoubtedly will be increased, although
to what extent has not Yet been deter
mined. Objection in Congress is made
to an increase in the rates on whisky,
becaus it is believed that this traffic is
now carrying all that It will safely
bear.
The argument is made that any in
crease in the whisky rates might lead to
extensive Illicit distilIing. and further
that this production is capable Of ma
Ripulation through proof in a way to
hrevent the government from collecting
any excess in rates beyond those now
levied under existing laws.
However, 1t may be said on authority
that not even a tentative revenue bill
has been prepared. Nothing will be done
in the matter until Congress hears from
President Wilson. He is expected to for
ward a message on the subject Follow
ing this Chairman Underwood, Of the
Ways and Means Committee, which orig
mates such legislation, will take up the
question with experts of the Treasury.
The indications are that the revenue
bill will not be offered in the House until
the end of debate on the trust bills in
the Senate is in sight

ALASKA FARMING HAS GOOD
 FUTURE

Alaska's agricultural possibilities are set forth in an article prepared by J. w. Neal, superintendent of the government experiment station. for the Fairbanks Commercial club. MT. Neal shows by figures on record at the experimental farm what has been accomplished with potatoes and vari- ous other crops.
 Spring grains have not proved a success every year but MT. Neal is still experimenting with them. He | figures to show what various kinds of grains yield at the farm, as fol lows: Hulless barley, 1900 pounds to the acre; beardless barley, 1.275 pounds to the acre; sixty-day oats, 49 | bushels to the acre, Finish black oats, | planted on the northern slope, 155 bushels to five acres; and on the southern slope, 90 bushels to one acre.
 Concerning potatoes, he had the following to say
 | Potatoes have been grown at the station, on a commercial scale, for six years. and it will, no doubt, be interesting to note that few acres on the south slope, in front of the sta | tion cottage, yielded potato crops, without fertilizers, which was as fol- lows: First year, per acre, S50J; second year, per acre, $700; third year, per acre, $500; fourth year, seeded to red clover and alfalfa; fifth year, five tons of potatoes Der acre, at S100 per ton. These figures are startl- ing to people unacquainted with con ditions and prices here"

EDWARD FUCKER
 TO BE A CADET

Delegate Wickersham announced at the public meeting on last Monday evening at Eagle hall, Valdez that he would appoint Mir. Edward Ruck- CT to the cadetship at West Point. The announcement brought forth rounds of applause showing full well the popularity of this young man in Valdez where he grew to manhood and received his education. Judge Wickersham boasted much of the splendid record his previous ap- pointees to this position are making, but Valdez will rest content that Ed die Fucker will will make them look we'll to their laurels if he does not surpass them. MT. Fucker is a bril- liant young man of sterling qualities, and moral habits. His discourse at the time of his graduation from the High School there was a remarkable display of oratorical ability. He is at the present time a student in the school at Berkley, California.

London.-Despite confident declar-
alton of high military officials that
England is in no danger of German
invasion, evidences multiply that this
is seriously Genmany's plan. British
correspondents in Dutch territory
declare that German officials now in
Brussels confidently assert that raid
on England is now certain.
Paris.-The French are on the Of
fensive in the vicinity of Nancy, on
the eastern frontier, and have driven
the Germans across the frontier in
the direction of Metz.
This contTadicts fatty reports
coming from German sources that
the kaiseT's forces were cTumpling
the French right wing between Toul
and Verdun. If the advantage seeur-
ed by the French left wing near Nam
cy can be maintained it is declared
here that it will be only very short
time when the Germans must sur
render the Notifications in the vicin-.i
ity of St. Mihiel which they have
reduced and also retire from the west
bank of the Mouse in that vicinity or
face being trapped and captured.
Berlin, via Wireless Through Say
vile, L. l., to the United PTess.-Fol-
lowing official bulletin issued by the
Austrian war Office at Vienna was

"The combined Austro-German
forces hold strong positions in a long
and almost continuous line from
Stryi and SambOr in Galicia east to-
ward Przemysl on the San river, and
then almost in a straight line north
ward to Plotsk in Northern Russian |
Poland. At every point along the line |
they are fighting the main Russian
army.

gOrOd and Warsaw"
Paris.-With a number of their
heavy guns mounted to protect their
front and with hundreds of light
pieces and rapid-frers deluging the
allied lines with shTapnel and bullets,
the Germans continued today their
supreme effort to win through to the
coast from the north and east.
Inside of the DixmUde-Nieuport
line the fighting continued without
let-up last night, the combatants
operating in the glare of enormous
searchlights that made the scene as
light as day. The rival aviators flew
over the trenches, dropping bombs
while the monitors of the fleet, which
withdrew to sea Sunday after three
had been hit, were back throwing
shells from their long-range guns.
In the territory lying southwest Of
Yres and between ATmentieres and
Lille further desperate fighting was
in progress. Here the British, who
are bearing the bTunt of the struggle,
are reported to be losing very heavily.
But they are also said to be slowly
forcing the Germans back to the east
and on their heavily-entTenched posi-
tons at Lille.
The Germans are now cOncentrat-
ing their efforts to break through to
the coast on an almost direct line to
Dunkirk and leave along the coast
the thin line of French and Belgians,
who are holding the coastal positions
at frightful odds.
By changing their front after their
object is obtained, and making part
of it again run. to the north and south
instead Of to the east and west, the
officials point out, once the Germans
attain either Calais or DunIirk they
would have a human protecting wall
between them and the sea from the
guns of the warships.
In part, the Germans had succeed
