 fleets are trying to capture COnsantnOple before the Russians so that Russia cannot claim the whole voice the settlement of Turkish questions if the allied forces win the war It is said that the chief aim in trying to take ConsantnopeB is to release great quantities of wheat bot tied up in Russia by opening the Dardaneles and the Bosphorus The opening of those channels 1t IS also Sald woul enable Russia to secure needed war munitions.

Fairbanks Citizen-Albert Johnson, who has been prospecting on Gilmore creek for past three months, has filed on three claims at the head of that creek which are stated to contain lodges of tungsten ore in commercial quantities. Mir. Johnson describes the ledge as being about three feet wide and running north and south. He has traced the ledge for about 150 feet.
 Assays of the rock brought to town by MT. Johnson show that it will go in the neighborhood of $500 to the ton. It contains one ton of scheelite for every eight tons of rock, and scheelite is stated to be fully 80 per cent pure tungsten. Scheelite sells for about 40 cents per pound.

City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, NOV. 26, 1915

We wonder how many readers of a newspaper published in small com munity realize that they have mani fest duty to perform toward a pub Hcation of that character. Not many We warrant; for the reason that the public generally fail to realize the true importance of the newspaper as means of furthering the interests of the community.
 he reading public give little or no reflection to the considerable influence eXerted by live paper on the social, industrial and business life of the com munity in which it is published.
 To the average person In small town the newspaper is merely an ordi- nary utility, a commonplace, like measles or freckles, d something useful only in the degree that it saves one the trouble of looking for things for themselves or of having to await the belaled arrival of information from OlnSr sources. 10 d great many the greatest utility of d newspaper lies ln it's particular adaptability to the business of building the morning fire. We admit that this latter view is well taken in many cases but at the same time it may be argued that unless a newspaper fails to fulfill its primary of iSh amount of news to it's readers or is managed along lines which cause it to be detriment to the best interests o1 the community, it is in greater or less degree benefit to both the public ano the individual, and is therefore worthy of support. A newspaper may be small 1t may contain comparatively little information, may be poorly managed, may even none -progressive-it may be sadly lacking ill many things-stiII, as long as it provokes no harm to the community it is beneficial institu- ton. If it be wide awake, progressive,
 md ln some sort fulfilling the func- lions Tor which it Was created, it is really a powerful influence in shaping the thought and inclination of public He. A moments reflection will dis close that the live newspaper is a force in any community regardless of wheth- CT it be large or small. In great sense it is really the hub around which reyolves a major part of the thought of the community; 1t is the radiating point from which emanate a consider able portion of the influences which shape public opinion. And, in a gen. eral sense the smaller the community the greater is its influence.
 There are few, however, who stop to consider or measure the value of
 influence and the majority are ut terly regardless of the read benefit of having newspaper in their midst The educational element involved in the possession of a local journal Is gen. erally completely overlooked together with it's capacity for actual benefit The main reason for this probably lies in the fact that the newspaper is now adays a commonplace thing and the public have grown so used to having one around that were it not for the unsuitable demands of curiosity few would even patronize it by subscrip ton. Few indeed look upon the news paper as an important factor in the life of their community and fewer still are willing to grant it more than grudg- ing support. Yet, little reflection Is convincing that the benefits bestowed

DEPL0RES Lack
OF fire ESCAPES
J. I. HJORT OF ADAMS COUNTY
SAYS CONDITIONS SHOULD BE
REMEDiEO.
Also OPPOSED TO RECESS
This Representative Has Explored
the Carrot and Roof Of Capitol.

]. l.. Hiort Of Adams county is one
of the house members who are open
ly opposed to a recess of a week OF
50 at this time, which recess has beer
talked Of by some Of the members.
MIR. Hiort is also outspoken in his
ideas as to the unsafe conditlon OF
the house and senate chambers with
regard to fire protection.
Mr.. Hiort, in speaking OF the pro
posed recess Of a week and also IN
discussing the tire escape faculties
and general conditions as to tire pro
lection at the capitol. said to a IT'D
une reporter last night;
Not in Favor OF Recess.
Speaking Of whether or not | am
in favor Of one weeks recess Of the

granting extra time IN which to have
steel fire escapes erect 4 o. the out
side of both the ASSEMBLY hail and the
senate chamber, for the safety Of
their members while attending the
Fourteenth legislative assembly.
at would seem rather strange that
we have laws ON our statute books
now regulating and prescribing the
installation of safety devices and am
pie exits for fire protection in public
halls and that in the very aall from
which emanated these same laws and
regulations no protection whatsoever
for life and safety of those legislators
who enacted these laws was thought

Of Taxation Matters Strongly

be considered at this session those
that are uppermost in the minds Of

The controversy over the budget
has turned, the white light Of pub

introduce resolutions calling for a leg

financial affairs.
Sentiment has not c~rystalized yet
among the members relative TO the
necessary remedy, but their curiosity
is awakened and all are asking for
information.

viii never be a champion Of big men

spoke Joe Choynski Of Pittsburg,
prominent pug Of other days, when
asked to prophesy the outcome Of the

Just why a plentitude Of beef
should handicap a man who is proper
tiopately built, speedy and a hard
puncher Choynski did not attempt to
explain. Eut he did point out that

DO you know the easiest bout
or rather one that wasn't quite SO
bitter; they we're all hard ones-was
my fight with J~effries in 1897, For
a fact, he didn't hit me over three
times. All the newspaper boys agreed

To my mind, it furnishes an over

any wide-awake, l~eyelheaded legis-

our minds make an excursion, say
from the gallery from either the house
