TR| WEEKLY
 MAIL SERVICE
 |NAUCUERATED
OUTSIDE MAILS NOW ARRIVE AND DEPART THREE
 TIMES PER WEEK.

With the leaving of this morn. ing's stage for the coast, the tri weekly winter mail service between Fairbanks and Chitina starts. Which means that mail for the Outside and coast points will be dispatched three times per week, namely, on Mon days, Wednesdays and Saturdays at g o'clock in the morning.
 The starting of the thrice-p -per-week mail service also means that Fair banks will get mail from the Out side three times per week, provid- ing the steamers arrive at Cordova and there are not too many block ades on the Copper river railroad. However it is certain that such service will not be of benefit to Fairbanksans until after December l, as the first mail of the service will likewise leave Chitina today.
 After the schedule is fully inaug- urated the mall is supposed to come through from the coast in eight days. The limit of mall carried each trip is 1,600 pounds, according to the wording of the contract. This amount however, is distributed 10 all places to the north and down river, with the exception of Idita- rod, which has winter mail ser vice of it's own from Seward and includes aside from all of the local creek postoflices, the mail for Hot Springs, Tanana, Ruby, St. Michael Nome and the other postoftices neal the latter city which are tributary to it.
 The departure of the auto stages on Saturday ended the use of autos on the trail by the Northern Con- mercial company, at least until spring. From this time on the old regulation four-horse stages will be nsed but it is probable, according to the statement of the stage line officials, that the use of autos will be resumed in March and April to accommodate the increase in pas senger traffic which always occurs at that time of the year.
 Those who left for the coast on last weeks outgoing stages were Al Garner, Dad" Martin Judge Charles E. Bunnell, Harry E. Pratt Jack, Nelson Jack Whalen, Ida Bar row, Ethel Miller, Mrs. A. Lemoin John Matthews

MAY LOSE SERVICE.

Unless business gets better, the wireless station at Brooks will be compelled to close, according to recent statement of C. L. Stevens, the operator in charge. The keep ing up of the plant costs a consid erable sum of money each month, and it is stated to be now working at a loss. Mir. Stevens, however. is very desirous of keeping the plant in operation.

JUST A LITTLE
 TALK ON FURS

h reply to the question "Whc creates fashion in Furs?" MT A. B. Shubert, president of A. B. Shubert Inc, Chicago, the largest house in the world dealing exclusively in American raw furs, says, in part, as follows:
 Woman, lovely woman, she Is the creator of styles. She knows what she wants. If she fancies fox, that settles it-foX will go for sure t's fox or nothing. This may seem strange to those who don't under stand the feminine mind, neverthe- less, it is cock-sure, one best bet, one guess proposition.
 In one respect, women are liii. sheep, they follow the leader Some one in the world of fashion, and i. may be member of the nobility we'll known and popular woman of the stage, or one of high fash ionable society, springs a new stunt, her own idea, or partly that of her furrier She flashes 1t at some public function. If it takes, it is more contagious than the smallpox In time, every woman in the civi- lized world wants the same thing. They don't all get it. Those who have the price do. Those who don't have the price, get the next best thing, as an imitation.
 By way of illustration, l VII cite case. 1 was in Paris, August 1913, and was shown by M Green walt, of that city, (the one manu- facturer of furs who has assisted in bringing out more novelties in ladies' furs than any living man) the first model of the now extreme ly fashionable animal scarf, made from choice silver fox for Madame Sarah Bernhardt, the great actress of France. The fashionable world grabbed for it, for it had merit, it is becoming to any lady. The re- suit was, the big demand for all kinds of fox. fisher lynx and the soft furred northern wolf with heads attached.
 The market has been cleared of all the above skins. Higher prices will prevail for them this coming season and will continue so long as the animal scarf remains fashion able. After that it will be some thing else No one knows what but it will be the thing that wo man, lovely woman, wants, and not what we want to sell"
 Fur prices continue to advance according to information received in Fairbanks. It is stated that the use of fur for trimming ladies' dresses and shoes accounts in 8 great measure for the increase in price

Competition Is
 Entering In

That competition will eventually be the means of reducing the freight rate on all kinds of commodities going from Olnes to the Tolovanf country is now being evidenced. For the past two months the rate has been ten cents, and great many freighters claimed that they could not make money at that.
 Now, however, the fall of snow makes the trail better for freight ing. Therefore all freighters can haul heavier loads. One big load was taken from Fairbanks to Brooks last week for seven cents, while an other freighter left town on Sat urday with two big sled loads, hauling it for six cents a pound.

 Mr. Noble will leave within the next few days with another load of freight for the To,ovana. He states that he will again go over the Minto route, as he thinks that is the best for heavy freighting, on account of the fact that there are no grades.

OF the giant intellects that constructed
this marvellous industry and journey
along the pathway of its development,
illuminated at every mile-post of its

The German reply to President
Wilson's Eote regarding the Lusi-
tania affair was received Monday,
and il very unsatisfactory. 1t
Is a manifest attempt to quibble
and eyade. The effort to throw
the blame off onto England is
puerile. Adam attempted to ex.
cuse his sin by laying the blame
onto Eve, and the world has point
cd the finger of scorn at him ever
since. 1t matters not what provo.
cation Germany may have in
avenging herself on England, she
has no right to take retribution on
a neutral country. We have a
right. to. o.demand that the rules of
honorable warfare shall be OBJ
served in all respects affecting the
lives and property of our citizens.
If Germany has adopted mode of
warfare that makes this reasonable
demand impossible, it is up to her
to revise that ode, as she cannot
expect to hold the respect of neut-
rails while trampling upon their
rights. The reply questions some
of the assertions made IN the
presidents note, and asks for time
to Investigate them before agreeing
to make reparation. This is not
unreasonable; the reparation for
past ofenses can wait reasonable
time but the reply gives no assur-
ance that offenses will not be con.
tinued. This is the Objectionable
feature in the reply. The reply is
a quibble and a play for time with
no promise of relief. The presi'
dent is expected to demand imme
diate assurances along this lint
and a failure to comply may result
ID severlng of diplomatic relations
between the two countries. 1t is
time when grave responsibilities
rest upon the president and it il
up to every loyal citizen to uphold
his hands.

KNOW THY COUNTRY
lII---Telegrdph and Telephone

Our transportation facilities are the
most perfect product of this great COM
mercial age and the telegraph and tel
ephone systems Of this nation crown
the industrial achievements of the
whole world. These twin messengers
of modern civilization, born in the
skies, stand today the most faithful and
efficient public servants that ever
toiled for the human race.
They are of American nativity and
while warm from the mind of the in
ventive genius have, under American
supervision, spun a network Of wires
across the earth and under the seas.
Telegraphy, in its early youth, mas
tered the known world and the tele-
phone has already conquered the
earth's surface, and now stands at the
seashore ready to leap across the
ocean.
No industry in the history of the
world has ever made such rapid strides
in development and usefulness, and
none has ever exerted more powerful
influence upon the civilization Of it's
day than the Telegraph and Telephone.
Their achievement demonstrates the
supremacy Of two distinct types of
American genius-invention and organ
ization.
The industry was peculiarly FORUM
ate in having powerful inventive intel
lect at its source and tremendous
minds to direct its organization and
growth. 1t is the most perfect fruit
Of the tree of American industry and
when compared with it's European con-
temporaries, 1t thrills every patriotic
American with pride.
Ambitious youth can find no more in

All over the country there has
been 2 remarkable rush for natur-
alization papers lately. Il began
with the sinking of the Lusitania.
The heaviest demand was naturally
in the most populous center-New
York City. The county clerk re-
ported that seventy per cent Of
those applying for their first pa
pers were Germans, and most Of
the others were Austrians. "I've
seen nothing but Teutonic faces in
my off ce for two weeks" he re-
marked. County clerks in many
other communities have told the
same story. Yankton P. & D..
The sinking of the Lusitania did
more to harmonize the sentiment
of Americans of all nationalities
than anything else that had hap
pened during the war. So long as
it was question simply of sym
pathy between the. warning nations,
every person was conceded the
right to sympathise with the coun-
try of his birth and that did not
detract from his loyalty to his
home country. When the posi-
bility of duplicating this country
arose, their loyalty was put to the
test and nearly all of them were
true to the stars and stripes.
When person of foreign birth up
holds the ideals of his native land
as superior to those of America: :
when he upholds the monarchail
form OF government as superior to
republic; when he claims the
voting franchise of Germany, with
Its various property, social and ed.
ucational qualifications, is more
scientific than our universal suff-
rage; when he holds that the courts
are more just; that the school sys-
tenn Is more perfect; that militia
rism is an enobling institution, and
that the time spent in the military
service is more beneficial than that
much time spent in college; when
he Justlfles the sinking of the Lus.
itania, with its murder of innocent
victims, rs an act of reprisal
these things are un-American in
spirit. We have reason to ques-
tion the loyalty of such a one.
We have found very few of that
class and they by no means repre-
sent the sentiment of German de-
scent in this community.
