Philharmonic Orchestra of New York Engaged For
 Samson and Delilah

The engagement of the New York Philharmonic orchestra to appear with the Bridgeport Oratorio society in the coming concert has been am nounced. The famous New York or chestra will consist of fifty pieces in- cIuding a harper of note and will in itself offer entertainment of unusual merit.
 This in connection with the vast chorus of $50 voices and a quartet of the most able soloists will provide a musical event second to nothing that has ever been presented in the city.
 The oratorio concerts conducted by the local society are proving to be a succession of musical triumphs and have easily gained the reputation of being the foremost musical events of the state.

COAL MEANS CHEAPER COPPER

Given needed coal from Alaal.a s own mines territory will produce aR enormous amount of copper next year,
 This is the situation now confront ing not merely the northern treasure land but the administration as we'll for there is no question that Mir Wilson is sincerely desirous of seeing this possession of the republic opened up to q material degree during his administration.
 The dispatch north of George Wat kins Evans q Seattle mining engineer with instructions to survey the land into units of forty acres each, is hail ed as the final physical step toward the throwing open of the coal fields to private enterprise.
 However, a matter of fully as great importance is the drawing of leases that will attract capital to the north, where the market for the fuel already exists and where it is certain that ad- ditional markets will exist as more mining enterprises are developed. With reasonable assurances concerning the security of investments, there is no question that the money will be forthcoming.
 Copper is in big demand at present and will be worth even more next year should the war continue that long. Given coal, the copper will be forthcoming and the nation, as well as the territory, will prosper to a corresponding degree.-Seattle Times.

ALASKA AS A FOOD CENTER

Never before has Alaska been giv- On as much favorable comment in Outside newspapers as during the present year. A recent article op Al aska's possibilities as a foodsupply center, was published by the Times Journal. of Dobuque, Iowa. The ar ticlc is as follows:
 tWe've known for some time now that Alaska is supplying Uncle Sam with his gold; for many years Alas kan salmon has helped to feed the people of the United States; Alaskan furs have been big item of export; we have known that pretty soon Al aska will begin to keep tho Pacific Coast warm with her coal. and we knew also that here vast mineral, wa ter power. and timber resources are practically untouched and that the fu ture will see an enormous develop ment in those industries. Bnt we had never quite realized that Alaska might be q big storehousc from which the States could derive large portion of their food supply Somehow it hadn [ occurred to us that cattle rais- ing might some day become an impor tant item in Alaska s industrial dc velopment. And so the information which comes from the United States Department of Agriculture, showing that successful cattle raising of ortli- nary domestic cattle is even now go- ing on near the Arctic Circle is rath. CT surprising.

He believed that stock could he win tered on the native hay or swale grass if he converted it into ensil- age. He built a silo of logs, on a small creek near his road house, calk-  ed with moss and painted on the inside with cement At the head of his creek are large natural meadows. The coarse wild grass was cut, float ed down the creek, put into the silo and rammed tight with 3 small mix ture of salt.
 The stock was grazed in the open until October 12, after which they were given the fermented grass, that they ate eagerly They were provid- ed with log barn for shelter in the extreme cold weather.

FAIRBANKS YIELD

An exchange says that the strike of Russians and other laborers brought on in Alaska by the compulsory eight hour law will enot seriously affect the gola production of that region is the opinion of Murdock Morrison, who CD crates claim No. 8 on Goldstream creek. Morrison is recent arrival from Fairbanks and is guest at the Savoy Hotel, Seattle. He esti- mates that the Fairbanks region will produce $3,00O,O00 in gold dust before the season closes
 "Many of the Fairbanks creeks have been worked out" said Nor rison. s'and the operators are now busying themselves with the aurifer ous gravels of the benches and side hills.'
 Morrison believes that the recent strike at Tolovana is going to prove 2 good one and bases the belief on the fact that one party took out l5o ounc es of gold this spring. He says th' heavy cost of freighting in supplies however. will hamper development tc considerable extent
 "'The quartz mines of Fairbank' will turn out all right" he said [ Most of the claims are working Nobody knows how much they ar' making, but the fact is they ar' keeping at it and paying their bill right aiong.-Exchange

MAN SOMETHING or
 OF A BURBANK

Fairbanks, July 19---ln Fairbanks fresh strawberries are luxury en. joyed by few, owing to the high price charged for them, but it will be but q short time until the most humble will be able to partake of them thanks to John Scharle, the Garden Island gardner, says the Fairbanks Times. For six long years Mr. Seharle has been experimenting with various species of berries trying to perfect a plant that would grow and produce berries out of doors; one that would stand the cold weather, and at last he is successful
 In the window of Golden's grocery, store at the corner of First Aevnue and Wiekersham street, Il number of hardy strawberry plants which will stand all kinds of weather, are on display. The mother of the plants is a healthy strawberry plant, wild one which was found about three miles from Fairbanks, while the father is an imported one from the States. The technical name of the father plant is the "Jessy,'' while Mir. Seharle has named the wild mother plant the "Central Alaska.
 From these. he started to raise 3, 000 plants, but of these only 10 ma- tured and were good. Of these 40, only about l2 suited the owner and he has discarded practically all others.
 Mir. Scharle has been offered very substantial sum by several New York nursery establishments. if he can pro duee a plant that will withstand all kinds of cold weather. He now has the plant they want. and will send some to them as soon as he is satis- fled that he has found the best pos sible plant.
 From the plants, which he now has on hand, Mr. Scharle expects to grow fifty thousand plants within the next two years, and with these it will be but q short time until Fairbanksans will be able to get strawberries for
 heir breakfast at nominal cost.-Ex.

PFOACOCUfS LOSE HARD LUCK GAME CUMBERLAND WYNN r R ALTHOUGH OUTPLAYED, NOUN TANNERS SHUT OUT
 PEDAGOGUES.

In game in which the locals out played the visitors everywhere except m running bases, the State Normal lost to Cumberland College 3 to 0, at ghe Normal field yesterday afternoon. Jim Robertson, the left-handed Green orier boy, was on the mound for the Pedagogues and pitched a much better game than Hamlin, whose arm was still sore from the effects of Wednes- days game with Hendrix The local swirler allowed only six hits, of which two were scratches, struck out four and walked but two Hamlin vas touched for nine healthy raps, ut the Normal was never able to con vert them into scores.
 Poor baserunning was mainly re- 'ponsible for the Pedagogues' defeat. Eleven men died on bases, while the visitors left only five marooned during he game. At least three good chan es were presented for Normal scores, put either the necessary hit was not forthcoming, or the runners failed to take chance for another bag. In the ninth inning the Pedagogues filled the bases with only one out, but HamIin frightened up and the next two men were easy outs.
 A good sized crowd was present, and with the assistance of the Normal band, rooted for the home team in real Normal fashion.
 The final game will be played this Afternoon. l. Luckadoo will pitch for the Teachers, while Durham will hurl for the visitors.

2,5OO MORTGAGES
 MUST BE STAMPED SUBJECT TO 25c TAX
CLERK LEDBETTER GETS RUL- ING FROM U. s. REVENUE
 DEPARTMENT.

Approximately 2,5O0 real estate and chattel mortgages filed and re- corded in the office of Circuit Clerk A. M. Ledbetter since December 1 must have affixed to each of them a 25-cent United States documentary stamp, ac- cording to a ruling just received by MT. Ledbetter from the United States revenue department.
 When the new war tax became eff fective 1t was understood that the conveyances of this character did not require stamps, for the reason that a proviso in the act states that "nothing contained in this paragraph shall be so construed as to impose tax upon any instrument of writing given to secure debt" The federal officers, however, in response to inquiry from MT. Ledbetter, held that thae form of real estate and chattel mortgages in us eln this county contain sa power of attorney, which makes them liable to a tax of 25 cents each, regardless of the consideration. The clerk stat ed today that about 2,500 such instru- ments had been filed or recorded in his office since the law became effect i've, without stamps. The stamps must be affixed to these instruments without delay, he stated, or the mak- CTS will be liable to federal prosecu- ton. Under the law, the recorder IS also made liable for recording an instrument without the proper stamps being affixed, but it is stated that there will be no prosecution if all in struments are correctly stamped.
 MT. Ledbetter stated that about 1000 mortgages are filed in his office each year, the tax on them at 25 cents each amounting to about $1,OOO.
 Deeds conveying real estate, where the consideration is more than $1OO and not exceeding $500, must bear a 5O-cent stamp, with 50 cents addition Il $500 or fraction thereof.
