Yarrow on Program.
George Gibbons Yarrow comes
from family of intellectual giants.
Like Ralph Waldo Emerson he is the
lineal descendant of long line Of
who were men of educa-
ton and culture and filled prominent
places in their respective generations.
To his natural abilities every oppor-
tunity for refinement has been added
and he has made good use of them
all.
Mr.. Yarrow has made a practical
study of the interesting thing called
personality. It is that indefnab1e
thing that makes one man different
from all other men, It is the thing
that causes one man to succeed in a
given undertaking and prevents all
others from accomplishing the same
results.

COUNCIL MAY VOTE
TO REFUND LIQUOR
LICENSE MONEY
Bill of Fred Brmkman for Unused
Portion of $1,000 Fee Brings
Up Problem of Settlement Again.
TAKE ACTION AT NEXT MEETING
City Attorney P. J. Russell Informs
Councilmen That They Have Right
to Return Balances $4,000 Held

1t seems probable that every Be-
midi former saloon proprietor will be
granted the return OF the unused por-
ton of his liquor license fee, action
being taken at the council meeting
last evening which seems very favor
able to the at one time saloon oper-
ators.
The proposition was renewed when
the bill Of Fred Brinkman, calling for
a refund of $S61.91, was presented.
Mr.. Brinkman was one of the saloon
owners who closed his place of bust
ness when the closing order of the
Indian department was issued. Smart
moved that the bill be allowed and
the motion was seconded by Alderman
Bailey.
ALI Entitled to Refund.
1T is no more than right that this
should be returned" said Alderman
Smart, land believe that every sa-
loon man who observed the order is
entitled to the refund"
At this point Alderman Erwin sug-
gested that if any action at all was
to be taken that the bills from other
saloon men formerly submitted and
laid on the table, be reconsidered
and be given the same consideration
as the new bill. His motion was
passed, and the bills of E. K. An
derson, Ted Maloy, Frank Lane, Gen
mis- & Layon, Nels Bye, Thomas Nc
Carthy and several other were again
presented. If the refunds are allowed
it will mean the return of about
$4,000.

Requests That Assistance Be Given

Il
and Belgium. Hitherto the Slav
pressure brought to bear at London
and Paris for help has been secret,
so far as the Russian government has
been officially concerned. Unofficial
lnformations Of a plea for a western
offensive was telegraphed from Pet
rograd last week, but the government
itself remained silent.
Gear Makes Demand.
Today, however, in an official
communicate, the Russian govern
ment declares the Germans are NOV
ing troops from the west to the east,
and then adds that "this fact Gre
ates favorable conditions for active
operations of our allies" In other
words, the car now openly demands
that the British and French no
longer remain idle while the Rus
SLAMS are being forced to abandon
all of Poland to the enemy.
1t is not probable the allies have
taken this means of announcing that
a western offensive is shortly to be-
gin. Rather, the circumstances sug-
gest that the Slave have been unable
to persuade Great Britain and France
to strike at the present time. AS
final effort to compel a military di-
version, Russia therefore has decided
to try the effect of publicity The
situation cannot be pleasing for the
western allies. Not only is it I'M
comfortable to have Russia officially
and openly advising France and
Great Britain what they should do,
but also there exists the possibility
of rupture growing out of a per-
sistent refusal of the western allies
to move forward
Resentment Certain.
That Great Britain and France are
quite unable to develop a serious
offensive at this time because of
their shortage of munitions is ap-
parently disbelieved at Petrograd.
The necessity for outstanding ammu-
milton to withstand possible Ger
man effort to reach Calais unques-
tionably does not make the same i'm
preston at Petrograd that it does at
London and Paris. If the Slavs' al
lies remain inactive despite Russia's
public appeal, it is certain there will
be resentment at Petrograd and Pc
lands evacuation will be associated
in the Russian mind with the absence
Of coordinate military effort in the
west. Had Germany not persuaded
Turkey to enter the war, and if there
were no possibility of Russia secur-
ing control of Constantinople, the
basis Of possible separate peace un-
questionably would now exist at Pet
rOgrad.

 Hello. cherub."
 Instantly the smaller girl replied
 Hello. sourdough.'
 II don't understand why you call me sourdough," Miss Garfield sai[
 "Oh, just to get even with you for calling me a cherub' was the reply Newcomers in Alaska are always called 'cherubs' and those who have been here before are called sour doughs'"
 Then it developed that Miss Deity had confused the word ''cheechaco' with the word ''cherub.'

Warden Returns
 Foxes To Indians

Cal Townsend, fur warden, took seven foxes from some natives a few days ago. assuming that they had been captured out of season, but later, acting upon telegraphic instruc- tions from Washington, returned the foxes.
 After the foxes were taken from the natives, Guy H. Madara, of Cinema, telegraphed a protest to Washington, and this was followed by a telegram being sent from officials there to MT. Townsend, advising him to con- fer with the district attorney and then act upon his best judgment. It was later decided to return the foxes.

Ignorant Mail addressed to places or in Alaska frequently Alaska bear evidence of the
 general ignorance of the people Outside concerning the geo. graphy of the territory. One thing of this nature is the address placed on certain large Outside news paper that is received at The Citi- zen office.
 This newspaper is addressed to Fairbanks, Cochise county, Alas, ka" But how the paper ever came to be addressed 10 such a county is one of the problems that 1t seems will never be solved.
 Frequently it is stated, mail Is addressed to Dawson. Alaska h. deed. it will be remembered that few years ago the postmaster of Dawson received letter from the office of the postmaster general in Washington. criticising the postmas. ter for something he had done, and II seemed that in that case the cheap clerk in the postoftice depart ment, away back in Washington, had very vague idea of the geo. eraphy of this country.
 Some of the newspapers sent 10 Fairbanks from the States bear postage stamps. which indicate that the publishers are of the opinion that Fairbanks is in foreign terri tory. Almost everybody in Fair ness firms that prove how little they know of this country and it's geo. graphical surroundings

 Special stress was laid on the dinner party given by Mir and Mrs. Guy B. Erwin in honor of the 18th birthday Of Mir. Erwin's mother, and the verse quoted in The Citizen from the place card at Mother Erwins plate was reproduced in black-faced type. There is also men, tion made of the story printed in this department about the Circle Hot Air Budget, and the original verse taken from the latter is re- produced.
 Considerable space is given to The Citizens advertisements. Here is a reference to one of them:

 pose than to fool unsuspecting peo- pie Attached to the bag is long tube, at the end of which is a~rub
 Der bulb, so arranged that when the bulb is pressed, the rubber bag
 will pulsate.
 This little contrivance was used
 at a dinner party at which Mir. Er-
 win was present, and the hostess
 placed it under the spot where MT. Erwin's plate would rest The rup- Der tube led to the chair next that
 of MT. Erwin.
 After the meal was ready and the guests had taken their seats dish of soup was placed on the
 rubber bag in front of MT. Erwin
 who was not aware that anything
 had been placed beneath the table cloth.
 As soon as Mir Erwin took a spoonful of soup. the practical jok- CT near him, whose foot was on the little rubber bulb, pressed it. causing MT. Erwin's plate to raise up in a mysterious manner. MT. Erwin in spected the plate carefully. but when
 he took second spoonful of soup
 the plate began to act queer again Had MT. Erwin been drinker, he probably would have come to the conclusion that he was getting

 At last the joke was explained to him. and then he declared that the
 uncanny feeling that came over him i when he saw the plate move, was something different than he had , ever before experienced.
 l This story will be revelation to Mir. Erwin. who has never been told of the trick that was played upon
 him. If he believed that he was dreaming. or that he was the vic
 tim of some peculiar optical illusion, he will probably be relieved with this explanation.

Speaking of his attainments the writer of the letter says that he is versed in all the mechanical arts and trades, that he is writer a bookkeeper and cook, and that he can rough it." Certainly it seems that with so many professions he should be able to get along in Alas ka. but would he?
 Evidently, however. the writer of this letter assumes that people here put much weight in the fact that man is descendant of early Americans, for he states that his folks have been Americans for 13 generations, though perhaps the fact that he is of the 18th generation will bring him Ill luck.
 But with all these flattering Qual- ifications. The Citizen is not in po- sition 10 assure the young man that he should come 10 Alaska, for it feels that something more than a diversity of knowledge and a family extending back for thirteen genera tions is needed for him to compete successfully with the hardy pioneers of Alaska, who measure men only by the results of their efforts.

 The Portland Oregonian of April 5, of this year, reprinted some items that had been published in that newspaper just 5 years previously. One of those items was telegraphic dispatch from San Francisco. ex- plaining that an exploring eXpedi- ton would sail from the city of the Golden Gate for Alaska. This item is as follows:
 The leading members of the Alas ka Exploring Expedition, sent out by w. J. Arkell of New York, have arrived here. They are E. H. Welles, A. B. Schantz and E. J. Glave. Thursday they will sail on the Unit ed States steamer Patterson for Alaska When fully organized the expedition will consist of 25 men. MT Welles is of the opinion that in Alaska will be found the highest mountain peak on the American con- tnent"
