Donates Three Dinners

Three needy families at Donnelly
had gladstone Christmas this year
but nobody really knows who made
them happy. Somebody at Donnelly
remembered the poor and sent five
dollars to A. F. Leaf, leading gen.
eral merchant, with instructions that
he provide three dinners for three
needy families. Mr.. Leaf selected
the groceries and provisions and when
he had completed the list it ran al
most twice as much as the fve-spot
would pay but he sent the groceries
on just the same.
The Donnelly Christmas spirit
seems to be alright.

ALBERTA FARMERS
ARE new VICTIMS
Hail Insurance Men Cause Trou.
BILE for Policy Holders who
Promise Court Fight

Fears of crop losses by hail were
prevalent among Alberta farmers last
spring and it appears these fears were
used by INSCRIPTIONS persons to capt.
alize their scheme for getting rich
quick. Several cases of this kind
came to light this week when the
policy holders received notices from
companies who demanded a settlement
in sums far in excess of the amounts
agreed upon when the risks were writ
ten early this summer. Several of the
policy holders are men of reputable
financial standing and they have been
threatened with court action in case
they do not settle quickly without a
murmer. This they refuse to do and
will themselves bring the matter to
the attention of the courts. In the
meantime the stranger who appears
to write more hail insurance policies
hereabouts had better go easy.
1t appears that several companies
operated here last spring and summer.
The solicitors were strangers and they
have phenomenal success in getting
"across' with their propositions.
Grain growers were made to believe
that for certain stipulated amounts
their grain crops would be fully pro-
tected against hail and wind. They
"fell for the dope'' and it is saiC
about one hundred policies were writ,
ten by the solicitors.
Now it transpires that the stipula.
tions were for part of the crop only
and that the balance is past due. As
an illustration it may be cited that 8
certain we'll known farmer insured
his crop for which protection he paic
$44. Now the company has sent {
BILL demanding payment of $128. To-
day there is a lively scramble among
policy holders to search out and reac
their policies over again.. Some Of
them have detected what they term is
"joker." 1t has caused quite {
little excitement and a comparison oil
notes.
Just what will happen next remains
to be seen. None of the amounts de-
manded have been paid so far. Whe1
another crop is to be insured it will
probably be looked after by home
parties who will have the welfare O.
the community at heart. 1t will b.
the New Year resolution on the par
of many farmers hereabouts, anyway

WORLDS ALMANAC WANTS
 SOME ALASKA DATA

The World Almanac, issued by the
 Press Publishing company, New
 York, will in future pay more atten-
 tion to Alaska, and has written the
 district clerks office for general in-
 formation about Alaska. It wants
 to know the names of the federal of- |ficials of the several divisions. when they were appointed and confirmed, and all baut them. It also wants to know about the divorce laws of Alas ka.
 It is the first time that Alaska has figured in detail in the World Alma nae which is accepted as a standard reference in all newspaper offices and by many other people. Usually when there is an argument to settle on most any subject the contestants re- fer to The World Almanac. '' The divorce laws, 1t may be said lin passing, are very simple. In the
 first place an applicant or petitioner
 for a doverce must have first been a resident of Alaska for at least two years, Grounds for divorce are: inn potency, ,.adultery, conviction of fel- ony, wilful assertion, inhuman and cruel treatment, and gross and habit ual drunkenness, .

WELLS THAT ARE MORE
 THAN A MILE DEEP

WASHINGTON: The deepest we'll in the world is in upper Silesia, in the German empire. It is a diamond drill hole in a coal field and is 1850 feet deep. A we'll in the United States which may go deeper accord ing to the United States Geological survey, is four miles north of McDon- aid, Pa., and about fifteen miles west of Pittsburg.
 This well, which is being sunk to the Medina sandstone--a bed that elsewhere contains oil and gas,-is now 7174 feet deep. Some gas and oil were struck in the upper part of the well. Between the depths of 63S$ and 7100 feet rocks bearing rock salt and salt water were encoun- tered.
 These are regarded as of the Sa- lima or salt age, the same as those carrying rock salt in western New York. The temperature in the we'll at the depth of 6775 feet, as recent ly determined with great accuracy, is 145.8 degrees of Fahrenheit.
 At Derrick City, McKean county, Pa., near Bradford, there is a well 5820 feet deep, which is probably the second deepest well in the Uni ted States. Another deep we'll is on Slaughter creek, Kanawha county, w. Va. It is 5595 feet deep. It pen etrated sandstone at 5030 to 6050 feet and from this depth to the bot tom, distance of 545 feet, the we'll is in limestone. Near West Eliza beth, Pa., there is another we'll 5575 feet, beneath the surface, penetrating into black shale. -.

Now that Fairbanks has started concerted action upon assisting Col. Richardson secure his appropriation of 5000 per mile for the Valdez Fairbanks road, it is up to our com- mercial body to fall in line and use their best endeavors in securing the needed appropriation. Great things are in store for Valdez; she can be made the salt water terminus of a vast amount of interior travel, and our merchants can secure much trade from the interior by keeping this |great artery to the interior in shape so it can be travelled in winter as we'll as in summer Smoke the malcon- tents out; make them ashamed of their efforts to hurt the town, and next summer when the horde of tour ists descend on our town, they will be ashamed of their attempts to block a worthy effort.

 There is not a soul living in any country that is not interested in Alas ka. Not a soul that does not appre- ciate pictures of Alaska. A view of the last frontier on earth, that costs you ten cents now, or as much more as you like, cannot be bought of your friends to whom you send it for ten

REPUBLICANS HAVE NO CHANGE.

The Commercial Mail has become rather conservative, politically speak ing, compared to the old days when it handed out the rough stuff without much regard for the feelings of the opposition. It is now looking at the situation with sober eyes and en- deavors to give the party leaders a little advice as to what is necessary if the party expects to be in the run ming in the campaign of 1916. It practically admits that the party is going to be hard pressed for issues and about all that is left for them to hope for success on is harmony. If they can just harmonize and all get in line again our esteemed contem- Sporary thinks they might get some place. In long review of the situa- 'tion in Mondays paper the following conclusion is reached by the C.-M. editor:
 This paper is not going to attempt ito recommend candidates but be- iheves that the republicans ought to exercise great care in the selection of candidates for 1916, if it is expected ito win. Most of the progressives of lth ecountry are fair-minded but since their votes are necessary to ob- tain success for the republican tick tets, both state and national, they should at least have something to say about who the candidates should be.

DELIVERING THE GOODS.

When Charles E. Bunnell appear. ed before the voters of Alaska year ago as candidate for delegate to con. gress, there were many who withheld their support from him on account o1
 his youth. It was generally admitted that his record of considerably more than a decade in Alaska was much above the average, but 1t was argued that he was not man of mature years, notwithstanding the fact that 5 he was three years older than was
 John Purroy Mitchell when that gen.
 <leman was chosen mayor of New
 York city. ..
 Following the campaign, which
 was conducted by MT. Bunnell with
 credit to himself and pleasure to his
 supporters the youthful candidate
 returned to Fairbanks as judge of
 the district court for the Fourth di-
 vision of Alaska-a position which
 numerous judges of more mature
 years had failed to fill creditably.
 Judge Bunnell assumed his duties as magistrate last February. Today he will conclude his first term of court. To the credit of Judge Bunnell it can be said without fear of contra diction, that he has presided over his division in a manner entirely satis- s factory to Interior Alaskans. Not a voice has been lifted to accuse him of unfairness; not complaint has 5 been heard regarding his judgment in matters upon which he has required . to rule. In short, he has made good, and at the end of his first term of court finds himself solidly establish ed in a division where judges are i, given the acid test.
 The Times takes pride in the show ing Judge Bunnell has made. We advocated his election as delegate 'tc congress, convinced that he would fill . the position with honor, dignity and force; we believed that he would get results at Washington and the man. ner in which he has conducted the ! business of the court since coming to Fairbanks seems to warrant g continuance of confidence in his abil. ity in whatever capacity he may be called upon to serve.

It is one thing to select a candidate for voter, but quite another to get him. to support that candidate in the election. He .., Thank God for Wilson, who has kept us out of war" will be one of the democratic battle cries in 1916, very likely-and as most of our peo- pie are against the proposition of this country taking any chances except in dire extremity, of getting involved in war with any other country on the globe, this slogan is going to tell in the campaign unless in the mean time we should become involved in war, which at present appears to be a very remote possibility. Then Will son is advocating preparedness pol icy of increasing the army and navy and adding all the modern require ments of warfare to put the country on basis of thorough preparedness in case we are forced into war in the future, and this is stealing a whole lot of the republican campaign thun- der. Then again, Wilson is advocat- ing revision of the tariff to give us protection against the cheap foreign made goods of Europe, with which it is expected that this country will be flooded at the close of the present European war-placing a tax on the goods and placing these cheap goods in class where they will not crip- pie American industries engaged in making the same lines, and this will again initiate against the demands the republicans were expecting to make in the 1916 campaign.
 Take it all in all the present prospects indicate the republicans will be met on every turn during the coming campaign and they will have the fight of their lives to defeat Will son, even with the strongest candi- dates they can muster and with a united party. Might as well look the squarely in the face as it presents itself and not go floating off into filmy dreams and claiming to have the earth fenced in and the presidency nailed down when we haven't got, it.-Columbia (Ind.)

We have received several remon- strances against our proposed tax on bachelors, as advocated in yester- days issue, our bachelor friends stat ing that they are not bachelors from choice, but through necessity, and that it is unfair to tax them for some thing they cannot help. We believe they are right, and will advocate a tax on grass widows. If there is one in Alaska we do not know of it.
