Will you tell me what was the origi-
nal cause of the Beer war and the num-
Der of people killed on each side?
The first war was in 1850 and the
cause was that the British government
attempted TO annex the Transyaal
against the will of the Beers. who won
a treaty of peace ensued in 1881 The
second war was declared against Eng
land by Dom Paul Kruger in 1899. The
immediate cause was the attempt of
Great Britain to coerce the Transvaal
republic into granting the franchise TO
outsiders" The Orange Free state
made common cause with the Beers,
but resistance was finally overcome in
1902. and the Beers acknowledged Ed
ward VII as their lawful sovereign.
The Boer soldiers all told numbered
about 10000 the British over 100000.

There has been considerable dis

Ihere has Deen considerable us
cussion and difference of opinion as
to the fees that U. S. Commissioners
SHOULD charge for certain filings.
And this has prompted Attorney
General Gregory to issue a circular
to the various officials in this ter
ritory in which he says:
Under date of January 5, 1915,
the comptroller of the treasury rem
dered two decisions upon requests
made by the department as to
whether United States Commission
ers in Alaska shall charge the fees
prescribed by territorial statute or
those fixed by regulation of the de-
partment, where the territorial fees
are different from those fixed by
regulation for the same service.
"In these decisions the comptrol-
Ter holds that where federal
statute fixes a fee for service TO
be rendered by United States Com
missioner in Alaska, such fee is ap-
plicable to the exclusion of any diff
ferent and inconsistent fee which
the territorial legislature may have
prescribed for the same service"
In the interior country there has
been much agitation over the ways
and means of securing road from
Fairbanks to the new mining camp
of Tolovana, John Zug, superintend-
ent for the Alaska Road Commits
sion, has just made the trip into the
new camp. Upon his return to Fair
banks he stated that the results OF
the development work which will be
done in the next month in the Tolo-
vana district will decide as to the
advisability of the construction OF
Summer trail to the newest placer
camp in Alaska. In any event, ac-
cording to Mr.. Tug, the road will not
be constructed this summer as there
will be very little road commission
money available for such work.
Deputy United States Mineral
Surveyor George Parks, of the
Alaskan field force attached to the
Fairbanks district, recently arrived
from a two weeks trip into the Tolo-
vana country. During his trip ne
investigated conditions thoroughly
and paid some attention to the wood
and timber supply, which demanded
immediate attention from the land
Office
He found that the heavy supply Of
saw timber lies on the Tolovana
river down as far as the mouth of
the south fork, but that there is
plenty of saw timber and wood on
the upper Tolovana and its tribu-
taries to satisfy the needs of the
camp this year at least. Also he
found that there was considerable
good timber and wood over on the
Mike Hess side of the divide, easily
accessible.
Down the Tolovana at the mouth
of the west fork, near the head of
river navigation apparently. another
town is being promoted to be known
as Coleman City.

FOX FEATURES BECOMING
MORE POPULAR EACH WEEK

Since booking the famous Fox Fea-
lures at his house several weeks ago,
Manager Harry Lowenstoin of the
Royal and Airdome, informs the writ
er that the attendance at these amuse-
ment places has increased each
Thursday over the preceding one.
This he attributes to Two causes;
First the advertising he has done
on the pictures, and second, the quail
ity of the plays shown. Fox Features
are without doubt as good as any
pictures shown in the United States,
and better than the average ones
They are good stories, which cause
a person to think long after the show
is over.
The plays picturized are taken
from books by well known authors,
and have been read by thousands.
which, of course, adds to the pleasure
of seeing the play produced on the
screen, and last, but not least, the
screen artists are worldwide known.
VIM. Farnum, remembered for his
splendid work in THE Spoilers" "A
Gilded Fool" and THE Plunderers,"
is the main male lead with Fox.
Theda Bara, the famed vampire
woman from Paris, who has taken
all America by storm by her clever

has been in some exceptionally strong
dramas. such as THE Celebrated
Scandal" and "A Woman's Resur-

was not far short of marvellous. These
three players mentioned make up a
trio that is hard to beat, and they
will appear regularly at the Royal
