Of cowboy or something of that
sort, and l shall never forgive Blair
Stanley for deserting US and sending
US home alone!
"As for that Detective Blake, l am
sure If 1t were | he was depending
upon for any pay for taking US to
such dreadful places as that Chinese

at least should have seen us home If
Blair Stanley was not gentleman

NOTICE OF FORFEITURE.

Ambrose Bell and Norman Mere hant, their heirs and assigns and to all whom 1t may concern:
 You are hereby notified that I have expended, during the years 1911, 1912, 1913 and 1914, the sum of four thous and dollars ($4,000) lawful money of the United States in labor and i'm provements upon the Peerless, Lin coin, Mammoth. Clara Bell. Gravina, Badger, Hawkeye and Pearl claims, and the Isabella and the Humdlnger claims, in the Chitna Mining and Re. cording Precinct, Territory of Alaska, all of which is of record in the records of the said Chitina Recording Precinct at Chitna, Alaska, that the above Bell and Merchant have had an undi- vided half-interest with me in these claims, and owe me the sum of S2,O00.
 This labor and improvement was done and performed on said placer mining claims under the provisions of Sec. 2324 of the Revised Statutes of the United States concerning annual labor on Mining Claims, being the az gregate amount of labor required for the four years upon said claims.
 And unless within ninety days after the commencement of the publication of this notice, you contribute two thou sand dollars ($2,000) as your propor- ional part of the expenditure on said placer mining claims, your interests in said claims being an undivided one half, then all your right, title and in- terest in said claims will become the property of your co-owner, the under signed, who has made such eXpendi- ture as the law requires.

 eight wheels and in working order will
 weigh 37O,OOO lbs. The company has several locomotives here which are
 equipped to burn coal in service with
 the rotaries and the new locomotives are so arranged that they can be easi- ly converted should occasion require.
 Meanwhile various other p-eaau. tions are being taken by the company to insure tn esucessful operations of the road during the winter. The last two wintres have clearly demonstrated that this railroad can be operated throughout the snow season vith losa delay than might arise from damage caused by excessive July heat, which fact has reversed the opinion previous ly held by experienced railroad men that winter operations on m Alaskan railroad were impossible. It is true that the two last seasons were not quite as severe as many other win ters and no person can suggest in advance what weather conditions migh be expected in this part of the | territory. The fact that the company is going to so great an expense and trouble to properly handle the traffic over the road during the winter is an indication not only of the importance of this line as the most important tonnage producer in Alaska at the present time, but it shows that it's owners have such faith in the country and its possibilities that nothing will be overlooked in maintaining the road to the highest standard of efficiency.

NEW EQUIPMENT U. R. & N. W
 RAILROAD

The Copper River & Northwestern
 Ky. is preparing to handle an immense
 copper tonnage during the coming win.
 ter and spring. For many months
 past this road has been enjoying an
 era of great prosperity brought about
 by the steady movement Of the red
 metal as we'll as a new industrial ac- tivity along it's line. The road has
 been operated without serious delays since December, 1913, the one excep- tion being the trouble caused by high water during the terrific hot spell of July, which proved to be not at all serious after the water had subsided The work of repairs was pushed with all possible speed and the shipments of copper were resumed early in August upon a larger scale than ever before.
 The railroad company has placed an order for additional equipment to meet growing traffic conditions. The first order Is for 15 box cars and three special cook and caboose cars, the order for these IS cars being awarded to the Seattle Car & Foundry Co. for delivery this fall. The cook and caboose cars are being built upon en-I tirely new and original design, being equipped as rotary tenders for prop erly housing and caring for employees and trainmen during any unusal trip with the rotaries where there may be danger of the men being kept out all night from one of the main sta tions. These cars are being fitted up with large ranges and are so con. structed that quite a number of men can be comfortably berthed and fed Supplies can be carried along suffi- cient for a weeks campaign, if neces- sary. Such equipment is needed in Alaska where there Is possibility of the men being called upon for strenous work and as there can be no delay. extra crews must be taken along 70 act as relays.
 The box cars ordered are of 100000 lbs capacity, steel underframe and roof and all standard specifications These box cars will be unique in one respect, having on one side two large doors, one near each end in place of the ordinary one door in the center. This is arranged so that sacked cop per ore can be handled in and out more quickly. Also loading can be time. Box cars are used for this pur- pose owing to the importance or pro- tecting the sacks of ore from the heavy snowfall.
 To the American Locomotive Works is awarded the contract for a new TO- tary and three new Mikado Iocomo- tives. The rotary will be of standard design with a 12 it. cut, IS by 26 in. cylinder 5000 gallon water tender and when load will weigh 366,0OO lbs. It will be a coal burner Coal will be used in place of oil in this service during the winter, fuel stored along the entire road in convenient and sheltered places. By the first of the year it is expected that 5000 tons coal will have been distributed along the entire length of the road for emer- gency use of the steam shovel crews. |

INDUSTRIAL
COMMISSION

The recent investigation OF the
United States Commission OF Indus

extremes OF society and has given the
public an opportunity to view the rep

parallel columns.
Capital and labor have always been
Elsrins at each other over CULTS OF
misunderstanding and If the Federal
Industrial Commission attempts to
bridge the chasm. it will render the
public q distinct service.
The farmer has been sitting on the
fence watching capital and labor fight
for many years and incidentally furn-
ishing the sinews of war and 1t is
quite gratifying to find them talking
with, instead OF about, each other.
When honest men smile and look into
each others souls 1t always makes
the world better and far more salts

The love for justice makes the
whole world kin. Understanding is an
srbiter far more powerful than the
mandates Of government, for there is
no authority quite SO commanding az
an honest conscience; there Ia no de-
cree quite 30 binding as that OF the
Supreme Court Of Common Sense and
NO sheriff can keep the peace quite so
perfect as Understanding.
We suppose the time will never
come when capital and labor will not

by the thunder peals Of discomfort.
But Understanding is a Prince of
Peace that ever holds out the olive
