WATER POWER RECONNAISSANCE IN SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA


 For several years the United States Geological Survey has been making study of the water supply of parts of Alaska. At first this work was confined to Seward pen insula; later it was extended to the Yukon-Tanana region; and Water Supply Paper 372, just issued, de- scribes the water resources of the reion tributary to Copper --i--~., Princa William Sound, and the lower Susitna. Stream measure ments made during only one seasor cannot, of course, be relied upon for estimating average flows, but the Survey engineers, c. E. Els worth and R. W. Davenport, besides making measurements of the flow of some of the streams, obtained much information on the topography of the drainage basins, resivors, and power sites. The data thus obtained, when combined with the Weather Bureaus records of pre- cipitation, will serve as a general guide to the engineer, who, how ever will at once realize at once that these facts must be supplement ted by careful and thorough sur veys and measurements before he can plan in detail any water-power project. The paper will at least show that the water powers avail able throughout the year are not so abundant in the south-central part of Alaska as has sometimes been assumed.
 The general province discussed in the report contains valuable miner al deposits. In it's eastern part lies the Bering river coal field, with it's high-grade fuels, and also the Katalla oil field. Tn the Copper river basin and in the Prince Will liam Sound region, to the west, there are valuable deposits of goll

SOLDIERS STILL FRATERNAL
 ZINC

Fraternizing between the soldiers in the opposite rows of trenches has not been limited to the Christ mas festival. In the Dewbury Re porter, England, a letter is given from J. F. Wood, in W hich he says:
 "We had an interesting conversa- tion with the Germans the other night. One of them was shouting and whistling, and we started to shout back. One of them shouted. "What lot are you, Kitchener's ?" So one of our chaps shouted back. , No, we're Canadian Then one of our chaps sked, Have you any Woodbines 2 They said, No, but we have some whisky and cigars so our chaps yelled Bring some a. cross" One of the enemy said, You come halfway and I wi;l. lni We won't shoot. So our man got over the parapes and thc.y didn't shoot. W:,at tah '1u make of them?"

PLEA FOR SIMPLE LIFE

I am bound to praise the simple life because I live it and find 1t good. I love a small house, plain clothes, simple living. Manw per sons know the luxury of a skin bath-a plunge in the pool or sea, unhampered by clothing. That is simple life-direct contact with things, life with false wrappings torn away-the fine houses, fine equipage, expensive habits, all cut off.
 How free one feels, how good the clements taste, how close on< gets to them, how they fit ones body and soul; how good to see the fire that warns you, or better yet, to cut the wood that feeds the fire that warns you; to see the spring where the water bubbles that slakes your thirst, and to dip youl pail into it; to see the beams that are the. stay of your four walls, and the timbers that uphold the roof; tc be in contact with the sources ot your material life; to want nc extras. no shields; to find the air and water exhilarating; to find wild berries more satisfying than 8 gift of tropic fruit; to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over birds nest-these are re. wards of simple life.-,Johii Bur roughS.

an dcopper, and in the Willow Creek district of the Kenai peninsula, which is also in the province, there are deposits of gold. Close at hand is the Matanuska coal field. Take it all in all, this is one of the rich est mineral districts in Alaska, and it contains also arabic lands. More over, it embraces the Copper river and Susitna valleys, two of the most important gateways into in land Alaska.

A PATHETIC
 WAR STORY
SHE RAISED HER THREE SONS
 TO BE SOLDIERS

The Berlin Vorwaerts, the great Socialist daily which finds itself suppressed almost every other day, tells of little tragedy that sort of brings the lump to ones throat. The little drama rings true. The story has it that the woman with ticket from Bremen to Oldenburg entered the compartment. Two young girls and man accompany ing woman already were seated
 Over and over again, at inter- vals in sing song tone, the wom- an began almost at once to count on her fingers, lone, two, three,' lone, two, three."
 This impressed the girls as being exceedingly funny; so they Uttered When one of them leaned over and whispered something to her com panion, giggles followed.
 The man seemed iritated every time the girls Uttered.
 Turning to them suddenly, he said, sharply:
 "This woman is my wife. You perhaps will stop your stupid gig gling when I tel you that she has lost three sons in battle. am taking her to an asylum"
 The click of the car wheels broke the silence of the car.

GOVERNMENT AIDS
 FISHING INDUSTRY
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
 FINDS HALIBUT BANKS

Efforts of the department ot commerce to keep the fishing in dustry of the North Pacific in the hands of American interests, arc given in detail in the annual report of the department that was made public recently by Secretary Red field. Describing the steps taken tc combat the Canadian short cut through Prince Rupert, B. C., to the Eastern markets, he says:
 "The completion of the Grand Trunk Pacific railway to Prince Rupert, B. C., provides shorter line than has heretofore existed be tween the Eastern and Central parts of the United States and AL aska. Special efforts have been made by the Canadian authorities to attract to this route the large sup plies of fresh fish, chiefly halibut, caught in Alaskan waters and con- stunned largely in the United States. This caused, naturally, anxiety to the fishing interests of our North
 n7cific states, for the reason that Prince Rupert is 800 miles nearer to the Alaska fishing lines, whence the supply has chiefly come, than is Seattle, which is the head quarters of the halibut fleet.
 This, of course, would involve an increased sailing of 1000 miles if the product was to be handled from Seattle as heretofore. It became important, therefore, to determine whether new source of supply for halibut could be found nearer to our own ports, sufficiently abun- dant and regular to warrant the es- tablishment of definite fishery.
 "The steamer Albatross, with her regular crew supplemented by some experienced halibut fishermen, be- gan this work in 1914 and has car ried it further during the summer of 1915. Meanwhile the discoveries made during the previous fiscal year have been charted and a report thereon with maps has been publish ed. As a result, during the first two weeks of June, 1915, over 800,- 900 pounds of halibut were taken from these new banks.
 "New banks, furthermore, have been discovered directly off the mouth of the Columbia river, where none were supposed to exist, and the survey of these was promptly taken before this report was writ ten. It's results will be promptly published. Certain banks have been definitely located which were only known by rumor, and fishery trials have been made thereon to show the commercial possibilities in halibut and other fisheries. It may be said that a new source of supply for halibut has already been developed.

At the end of the year we find We have five cop ies instead of twelve; seven copies have been stolen Many other periodicals have been taken within a few hours after being placed on the table by someone that we have not apprehended. At the beginning of the New Year we hope there will be some good resolutions a. dopted and followed by the guilty person or persons, and that the dis continuance of this practice will be one of them.

WHO IS THE SMALLEST MAN?
(Kansas City Times)

Just to forstall all tales of small persons an ancient historian has left the tale of one, Philetas of Cos, who lived about 330 B. C., a poet and grammarian, who was said-so the historian recounts-to have carried weights in his dress to prevent his being blown away Julia, niece of Augustus Ceasar had dwarf named Coropas, two feet high, and Amdromeda, a freed maid of the same height. Alypius of Alexandria of olden times, a logician and philosopher, was but l foot 12 inches high.
 Godfrey Hudson, an English dwarf, when youth IS inches high, was served in cold pie to the king and queen of England by the Duch- ess of Buckingham in 1926. Geof- frey had temper He challenged a MT. Crofts. Mir. Crofts accepted and went to the field of honor arm- ed with squirt gun loaded with water. However, the dwarf is said to have shot one antagonist dead.
 John d'Estrix was a present to the Duke of Parma in 1892. He then was 35 years old, had a long beard, but was not more than three feet high. He was skilled in lan- guages.
 Count Borowlaski, a Polish man of great accomplishments, was 30 inches high on his 30th birthday. He had a sister, seven years young CT who could stand under his arm. Chemah, Chinese, was 25 inches
 when he was 42 years old. Lucia Zarate, born in Mexico, 20 inches tall, weighed 4 3-4 pounds.
 American too, has had it's famous dwarfs. General Mite, Francis Joseph Flynn, was born in New York in 1864. Thetop of his head hit the yardstick at 21 inches. He went to England in 1884 and was married to Milly Edwards, two pounds his junior in weight. Gen Tom Thumb, Charles Stratton, was but 31 inches tall ond 25 years old when in 1863 he was married to Lavinia Warren, 21 years old, 32 inches tall. Mrs. Tom Thumb re- gently celebrated the anniversary of her 74th birthday. Mir. and Mrs Tom Thumb and their child and Commodore Mutt, another dwarf, toured England together.

STEAMER HOOKING IS C0NF|SCATED
Washington Officials Amazed by Ac. tion of British Government in
 Confiscating Ship.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. B. Official advices have been received from the United States consul at Hal flax, stating that the American steamship Hooking. which was seiz- ed by British cruisers two months ago shortly after she had sailed from New York harbor, has been requisi- toned by the British government be- cause she was partly owned by Ger mans.
 The action of the British govern ment in pressing the Hooking into service has amazed the officials here and it is understood that President Wilson has demanded that the Hook ing case be submitted to the prize court for decision.
 When the Hooking was seized out side New York harbor by the British cruised she was conveyed to Halifax where a search of her cargo revealed the fact that clearance papers had been' obtained from the New York customs by fraud. The cargo which was listed as general merchandise was found to consist of rubber, cop per and other .contrabands. g, The. Hooking belonged to an inter- national steamship company in which a number of German capitalists were stockholders.

LONDON, Dec. 3.-Early today dispatches from Amsterdam state that the German Imperial Chancellor has been forced to accede to the de- mands of the Socialist members of the Reichstag and will tell the house upon what terms Germany will make peace, on December 9th.
 He has warned them not to ex- pect that Germany's terms will be such that the enemy nations will gladly accept as. Germany has not been fighting alone for her existence but for the future peace of Europe.
 It is believed that Germany's 8 terms for making peace will include her being permitted to retain posses sion of the territories now under Teutonic control. which include Bel gium, northern France, Poland and Serbia, as we'll as the restoration of her colonial possessions.
