DESCRIBES PRESIDENTS
 VISIT TO EXHIBIT

At the conclusion of the delivery of his antitrust message before a joint session of Congress, President Wilson went to the Senate office building and spent practically three-quarters of an hour in an inspection of the Alaska ex- hibit resently installed in that building by the Alaska bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce.
 President Wilson viewed the exhibit at the invitation of Senator Key Pit man, chairman of the Senate commit tee on. Territories, by whose permis' sion 1t was placed n the office build ing. He was accompanied by secre- tary Tumulty and Dr. Cary T. Gray son.
 The President devoted the greater part of his time to an observation of the agricultural exhibit, which includes wheat, oats, barley and hardy grasses grown in the Panama valley near Fair banks, a town that lies less than 100 miles south of the Arctic Circle. He manifested particular interest in a S4- pound cabbage and display of large turnips. Comparative maps, drawn to show the similarity of latitude be- tween Alaska and Norway and Sweden, also received his close attention.
 Senator Pittman, presented to the President the members of the commit tee in charge of the exhibit, composed of J. L. McPherson, Falcon Joslin, Will H. Parry, Charles G. Heifner, Don aid A. Mckenzie, and Maurice D. Lee hey. The committeeman explained the regions of Alaska from which the va rious features of their display were taken and outlined the purpose of the exhibition. It was rumored that the exhibition had been brought to Wash ington with view of influencing pend- ing legislation relating to Alaska. This, however, is emphaticaly denied, the primary purpose being, 1t is said, to acquaint Representatives and Senators with the products and possibilities of Alaska.
 In addition to the agricultural dis play there is an Alaskan library, an ex- tensive mineral exhibit, many feet of moving picture films depicting Alas kan scenes, and colored slides protray- ing distinct feaures of the country Washington Post, Jan. 21.

 NORTHERN EMPIRE

Fairbanks allows discount of 10 per cent. for the payment of taxes be- fore the 1st of February, and 1t was estimated that more than 90 per cent. of the taxes would be paid before that time. The total levy was $42,441.21, or one and one.half per cent on to- tai valuation of s2,S29,414.
 Word comes from Fairbanks that the United States signal corps is re- ducing the number of its employees in Alaska. The office at Hogan was closed recently, and it is said that a number of those in the vicinity of Fair banks, whose terms of enlistment is about to expire will not be replaced.
 Tom Nixon, a pioneer of Nome, who made fortune in the famous Bessie mine, died recently in Arizona.
 Late news from Fairbanks conveys the information that A. E. Light, spe- cial agent for the suppression of the liquor traffic among the Indians, has broken up a nest of law.breakers at Nulato. He has asked United States District Attorney Crossley to assist in

Secretary Bryan, however. decided
That the steps requested should be
taken. This action. it was predicted
here, would mark all important point
~ the development Of the responsi.
bilities which the United States &C.
trine.
In many quarters 1t was declared to
be an unwise step on the part Of the
government. as tending to place the
United States more and more In a
position OF standing responsible to
Europe for the actions of the nations
Of South and Central America.
~.. Steps Avoided in Part.
Feeling their own freedom of action
in South and Central America restrict
ed by the Monroe doctrine, the Euro
to place upon the United States the
responsibility for correcting errors in
the ways Of the Latin-American gov.
ernments, a responsibility which this
government has just as often sought
to avoid,
1t is pointed out by some that the
favorable response to the request Of
Great Britain and France may in the
future serve as IL precedent upon
which similar requests will be based
by European nations having trouble
with Latin american countries
South American Denials Expected.
There is no expectation here that
Colombia and Ecuador will be pleas
ed at the action of the United States.
Denials that there Is any ground for
the charges Of violations Of their neu-
trality are looked for.
III the last few days. there have
been many evidences that the govern.
ments on the west coast of South
America are becoming sensitive OH the
subject Of neutrality.
Chile Safeguards Neutrality.
The Chilean government has sent
statements explaining fully all tho
steps taken to preserve Chilean neu-
trality. and they have been communi-
Gated to the state department and the
public. A further step in warding oft
any aspersions of the neutrality of
Chile was made known in the an
nouncement that no code messages or
messages dealing with the movements
or operations of belligerent warships
will be accepted for Chile.
