THE PRICE OF STRENGTH.
To me, no comment on the European
was has been more interesting than the
accounts of the wonderful attention
that has been given to the physical care
of the German soldier. Someone once
said that IAN army marches on it's
stomach" That was a forceful ex-
preston upon the Importance OF good.
we'll cooked food.
The Germans, probably without
ignoring the stomach, have not lost
sight of the very important fact that
the infantry. at least march on their
feet Thus, the greatest attention has
been paid to the condition of the feet of
soldiers. For long time, before the
outbreak of the present war, sore
footed soldier was considered disgrace
to the efficiency Of the German army.
Hitherto, am certain, not nearly so
much attention has been given in other
armies to the condition and care Of
soldiers feet as has been to the condi-
ton of the horses.
There is here a lesson for all people.
So much depends upon the physical
fitness of men and women, and yet how
careless we are about keeping strong
feet and ankles, serviceable stomachs,
and we'll ordered intestines.
I am not arguing for a reputation
of the debt of the strong to the weak

lures Of dissipation, lust and laziness.

CHARGE AGAENST DILLON
 UP TO JUDGE BUNNELL

Judge Bunnell, at Fairbanks received on I recent mail a communication from the territorial legislature asking for the dismissal of Commissioner John |. Dillon The reso- luton of the legislature, in which many of the commissioners, and particularly the Fair banks commissioner, were condemned for disregarding the territorial laws and for not keeping proper account of vital statistics es provided by statute was adopted several weeks ago.
 After the communication bad been re- ceived by Judge BunneIl he was asked if he had enythIng to say regarding the mat ter CT any comment to make on the action of the legislature. He said that the reso- Iution came as a big surprise, although he had seen press dispatches regarding the matter He woul, Eake no definite state- ment as to his opln!cn of the action of the legislature, and simply said that he would take no action on the matter at present
 A number Of federal officials, and practi- caly al the attorneys of Fairbanks have criticized the legislature severely for their attack Cn the commissioner, and all declare thai the action was Iladv!Sed
 Commissioner Dillon maintains that his office has been manageI according to la~, and that 1t is open for inspection at any time
 The Times, commenting editorally on the attack ot the legislators upon the manage ment of the Morningslde sanitarium, which cares for Alaska insane, and also on Con- missioner Dillon, says:
 ''ihe attack upon the sanitarium, how ever IS neither sillier nor more unfair than the attack upon Commissioner Dillon. And we say this with only the commissioners word against that of the combined mem bership of the legislature. that he Is innocent of the charges preferred against him,
 In his report to the legislature, the ter ritorial secretary made charges that practi- cally all of the commissioners in the Second and Fourth divisions had failed to comply with the territorial laws with respect to vital statistics and Commissioner Dillon was given special mention for his alleged delinquency. Whereupon the lawmakers took the matter up, without further inves tigation, and demanded the dismissal of the Fairbanks official, wholly ignoring the oth- CTS, who appear to have been equally guilty
 All of which reminds us of a story which recently appeared in one of the coast papers A resident of Juneau, runs the tale, took his little son to attend meeting of the legis, lature, The youngster was greatly inter ested, and, of course, asked questions about everything, The chaplain of the house stepped forward during the opening of the session and delivered his prayer When he sat down the youngster asked his dad who the man was who had just been talking, and was told that it was the chaplain of the house.
 "'Oh, he prays for the legislature, doesn't he?' asked the lad
 No, said his father, he gets up, takes look at the legislature and then prays for the territory"

NEW TOLOVAQA CAMP
 MAY TURN OUT WELL.

believe that ToloVana is going to make good camp and a larger one than people generally think. There is TO question but that they have the pay" said Charlie Joynt to Fairbanks News Miner representative on May 13.
 T believe that Livengood creek will pro duce fully as much gold as Ester creek has and that other good creeks will be opened
 Inc principal obstacle that Tolovana has to overcome before it can be a producing {. camp Is shortage of water supply, which i, a serious problem at the present time. It can be remedied by building ditches ard in pounding water, but this requires time and money. On Livengood creek the water will have to be carried along the north slope of the hills for several miles, across many small creeks or around their heads and this will necessltate arrangements with miners on those creeks. The water supply this sum ner is going 10 be short.
 About pay: You can pan anywhere on the dumps being taken cut on the Liven- good bench and get from i to l5 cents to the pan. Kinney and his associates have Sl ground lower down along the creek. where they have only few feet to go to bedrock, as against nearly hundred feet out on the Cascaden bench where the hill 'ide has sIoughed of and made deep dig girgs. The gold is there, end has been soUnd in 6 number of holes Just g.. soon 2s Pearson & Johnson get their hole down we shall probably see definite Paystreak lined up on this bench.
 Further down on LivcagoUd they will have to use drills, as the ground is so deep that ordinary prospectors cannot tackle it with success. As soon as possible, one CT two drills will be taken in there.
 "Other creeks are showing prospects, which will be developed in course of time but we must not expect too rapid develop ment in district so difficult to get sup lies and machinery to.
 "The OInes route, with some changes in the present trail, appeals to me as the most feasible into the camp. believe road can be built in that way with no grade greater than that on Birch hill, and with only three divides to cross in total dis tance of forty-fve miles The camp will have to have a road If it Is to be developed. and the people of Fairbanks must get busy in tbe construction of enc.
 Mir. Joynt went into the ToloVana with Delegate Wickersham and John Joslin. and returned after carefully looking over the camp and paying particular attention to the road proposition. He is naturally inter ested in transportation, by reason of his long railroad experience, and his opinion will re- ceive serious consideration any time he cares to give it on this subject. He feels that no man can predict what gold lies unde: the ground but his long residence in the North leads him to the firm conclusion which he expressed in this interview. Dele gate Wickersham remained on Livengood to watch mining operations on the Gas oaden bench little longer.
