NEW YORK HUNTERS
 TO RETURN TO ALASKA

Harry Karstens this morning re- ceived a telegram from H. Carey Morgan in New York City, the young eastern millionaire who hunted in the Mckinley country country all last fall and winter. directing him to con tinue to hold the dog teams here. This would indicate that the eastern financier and probably others are coming to Fairbanks before the snow goes off. Karstens has been holding the dogs for a number of weeks or ever since Morgan wired from Den yer on his way back east to hold them for another trip into the hills. Morgan's activity is presumed to be connected with a2 important mining deal in the upper country which he had up before leaving here.-Fair- banks News-Miner.

KVAss NOW POPULAR
 DRINK IN RUSSIA

(By Associated Press Correspondence)
 PETROGRAD, March 2O-The ban. ishment of table wines by the gov ernment edict has brought to the fore a beverage which seldom has been used outside the peasants cottage. It is 'kvass" Though 1t closely resembles lager been in color, 1t is more like American root beer in taste, and is al- so nonintoxicating. The favorite brand Is prepared by a special treat ment of Russian black bread It is now served in all the restaurants.
 Another incidental curiosity about Russian fare, is the fact that the American griddle cake makes it's ap- pearance in Russia for one week only in the whole year. That week is the one proceeding Lent The griddle cake Is disguised as a special luxury under the name of "blini." It Is eaten plentifully at any or all meals during the week. It is served with a garnish of caviar, thick sour cream and melted butter. The ordinary complement per person is a dozen or fifteen "blini," but a stranger is told that the rule Is that a person should keep the plate up to the height of his chin as he sits at the table. After the "blini," which are served as part of the hors d oevres comes the usual lunch or dinner course.

SPRING FUR SALE
 WAS \ FAILURE

After having passed the usual fall and winter fur sale periods Lampson X Co.,, of London advertised an auction sale for March 24th, and the affair was practically a failure.
 There was no sale whatever for mink skins Marten, lynx and red fox skins sold for 40 per cent off the prices last March, while beaver sold 35 per cent under last years market. Bear skins alone maintained the same value.
 This simply means that until the present war is ended and the people can recover from their enormous ex- penditures that furs are considered too great a luxury for general purchase and the fur market is dead excepting for local use. It Is a matter of serious importance to Alaska and the interior in particular.

ALASKA q RO N G IN 5 I A I ES
 SAYS WICK

"The dam is broken and the stream is running now for Alaska. We have the sympathy and support of Con gress, and the Nation," said Delegate Wickersham in a spech before the territorial legislature. "The whole country wants Alaska opened up, but you must keep after them, all the time"
 "Interlock your laws with those of Congress. Amend them, take from them, but bring your laws within the scope and control of the Legislature. Do not be afraid of your powers"
 "Go ahead and do right, but go ahead"
 When you want a Congressional law changed, pass your bill. By so doing your have helped your country, for you voice the peoples wishes, and you have put yourself on record for something that Congress cannot deny you"
 "The compiled laws of Alaska, at least many of them, are meagre. It is clearly within your power to change them. Money is the only thing to stand in your way, but you can carve your way out of the difficulty by action in concert

SENTINEL LASSOED
 IN ARMOREO BOX

(By Associated Press Correspondence
 PARIS, March 2O-The second lieu tenant of a battalion of Alpine Chas- seurs tells how the lasso was utiI- ized against the Germans in the Vos- ges.
 We occupied a wooded knoll" he says, "so we'll placed the Germans couldn't thing of taking it by assault so they set their miners and sappers to work. They arrived thus within a few yards of our nchetres and had the audacity to place sentinel there, well protected in a sort of armored box with loopholes in it. There was no way of driving him out One day a chasseur who had seen life on the American plains, asked permission to try his hand with a rope At mid night he slipped out of the trenches and crept close enough to throw a slip moose over the box, then an- other and another before the German realized what had happened. With the aid of number of comrades the box with the German in it was dragged into our trenches"

T0 EXPERIMENT WITH ALFAFA
 RAMPART

Superintendent Gasser, who has charge of the government expert mental farm at Rampant, recently re- turned from a trip to California and left over the trail for his home in the interior.
 He left last fall with Mrs. Gasser on six months leave of absence to at. tend college at Berkeley with special attention to plant life. Speaking of his work the coming year he states that he will attempt to breed an alfal- ia hardy and rich enough to be practi- cable in this country for stock feeding purposes. He will combine a yellow variety which is short but very hardy with the common Grimm alfal- ia, noted for it's nutritiousness, and believes the experiment will succeed as he has raised both separately be- fore this.
 The Rampant station will also have a new greenhouse this season, SO by 35 feet in size in which the propaga- tion of strawberries will likewise be especially tried this year by Prof. Gasser.
 Last fall for the first time this station succeeded in bringing to ma turity a wheat. It was sowed May 11th and was cut August 18th, fully ripened and ready for harvest. Cho- gat wheat it is called and it was im- ported from Siberia through the Rus sian government.
 The Lulea, Sweden, government farm, like the Rampant station, is just 65 miles south of the Arctic circle and these two are the two most northern farms in the world Each one receives the others reports, but Prof. Gasser is in hopes that some day the government will see the ad- vantage that would accrue from an ex- change of visitors from these two sta tions who are seeking to solve the same problems under almost equal conditions. At Rampant there are 32O acres of which 40 are in cultivation Supt. Gasser has been there for 2 years and is under Prof. Georgenson of sitka, chief of Alaska stations.

SMALL GUN MORE EFFECTIVE SHORT RANCE

(By Associated Press Correspondence)
 PARIS, March 2O--A curious cir constance of the war was the as- signment of Colonel Rimailho, the in- ventor of the 6-inch gun, to a regi- ment using the famous 3-inch gun. The reason for this was that in the earlier operations the smaller weapon was more numerous and the more useful In the war of siege that fol- lowed the battle of the Marne, how ever, the ''Rimailho," as the 6-inch gun is called, found it's opportunity in the longer range of fire and in the necessity for a heavier projec- tile than that of the 3-inch gun. The ''upheaval of the enemy's trenches" and the domination of the enemy's artillery" frequently noted in the of flcial communiques, are largely to the credit of this gun.
 The old 6-inch gun of the French artillery fired a shot every four min utes; the "Rimailho" fires four shots each minute, and the projectile weighs 95 pounds.

LINGUISTIC ALLIANCE
 Is BEING REVIVED

(By Associated Press Correspondence)
 PARIS, March 2O-The idea of linguistic alliance between French and English speaking peoples, which was proposed more than twenty years ago and strongly advocated by Charles Richet and H. c. Wells, has been re- vived. Albert Dauzat in the Temps resumes the proposition submitted by Paul Chappelier in 1900 to the Inter- national Congress for the teaching of foreign languages, as follows:
 By virtue of convention between Great Britain and the United States of America, the teaching of English shall be obligatory in France, and the teaching of French in the United States and Great Britain in all pub lie schools"
 Monsieur Dauzat points out that if this proposition should be realized French and English would become the common idiom of countries having population of 1SO, 100000 and that successively millions more in coun- tries under French and British pro- lection.

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION IN HAY
Caused Destruction of Farm Buildings in
East Montpelier.

The farm buildings on the Edward
Mcknight place in East Montpelier,
owned by Albert Mcknight and occupied
by his family and that of his father,
Edward Mcknight, were burned to the
ground yesterday afternoon about
o'clock when new mown hay in the barn
caught fire, it is believed, from spon-
taneous combustion. The loss is set at
about $500, only partially covered by
insurance.
The fire was discovered by the three
year old son of the farm owner, who
quickly spread the alarm; but practical
ly nothing was saved from the house,
the occupants having all they could do
to get out the livestock in the blazing
barn.
Horses and cattle were saved, but two
hogs, several pigs and wagon were
burned. The two-tenement house is at
tached TO the barn by an ell and was
quickly consumed by the flames, The
sum of sos in the upper part of the
house was also lost.
The younger Mcknight purchased the
farm of his father last March and was
about 10 take out more insurance but
lad failed to do so and he win therefore
bear a heavy loss.

INVESTIGATE GERMAN PLOTS.
England Claims Unlawful Methods ar,
Employed in United States.

Washington, D. c., July 20.-At the
instance of the British government, the
state department calls on the depart.
nent of justice to investigate activi-
ties of certain German sympathizers in
the United States, who are alleged to
have been employing unlawful means to
strike at Great Britain and her allies.
Until inquiry has developed whether
these are sufficient to warrant prosecu-
tons no names will be made public and
officials of the departments as well as
those Of the British embassy are ret
icent about discussing the matter. 1t
is known, however, that information has
reached the embassy concerning all kinds
Of plots, ranging from schemes to wreck
bridges over which railroad trains were
volunteers of the British army,
to the incitement OF strikes at American
industrial plants making war supplies
for the allies.

Polish Capital May Be Evac-
uated by It's Russian

TEUTONS ARE BEARING
DOWN ON TWO SIDES
Movement in Baltic Province
Renders Southern De-
fense Insecure

The German offensive In the east is
shown in the latest official reports to
be seriously threatening the Russian
possession OF Warsaw. The evacuation
of the Polish capital cannot be far dis
tant, in the opinion Of many military
observers, as from the north and the
south Teutonic pressure is being exert
ed with seemingly irresistible force.
Windau in Courland has been captured
by the Germans who are advancing to-
ward Riga. This movement in the Bal
tic provinces is rendering the Russian
lines to the south still more insecure.
Petrograd admits general retrograde
movement. Even on the old Bzura-
Rawa line, which so long withstood the
German attacks, the Russians are falling
back, according to Berlin reports.
On the Austro- Italian front substan-
tial gains are claimed by the Italians.
Paris reports that French aeroplanes
have bombarded the station at Colmar
in Alsace and returned undamaged.

ATTACKED GIRL AND ESCORT.
Three Men Jumped Out of Woods on
Upper fremont Street.

Another attempted criminal assault
along fremont street where the highway
Is bordered on either side by woods, has
challenged the attention OF the police
and though the attempt was made sun
day night, there are as yet no clues that
viii point toward the identification of
three men who attacked young woman
and her escort soon after darkness set in.
A man and his wife who live in that
neighborhood were walking along the
road when they heard a girls screams.
Their rapid approach frightened the
would-b be assailants, who ducked into the
underground and were presently out of
hearing. According to the report re-
ceiyed at police headquarters, the girl
was attacked in the presence OF her
escort, who was held from assisting his
companion by two OF the assailants.
That the designs of the three mepa
were not carried out is due undoubtc
TO the appearance of the man and ~
wife. Neither the young woman nor u
young fellow who accompanied her were
able to give very revealing description
of the trio, although all three were seen
in the distance by the man and woman
whose coming frightened them away.
The girl said she had been struggling
with one Of the men and exhibited skin
bruises to corroborate her story.
People living in the vicinity OF the
fremont extension are aroused as never
before over the latest attempted outrage
and women who have been accustomed
to go the length of the street in reach
ing homes on the Camp street extension
arc giving that thoroughfare wide
perth since Sunday night. 1t is argued
hat the strip Of roadway leading be-
.ween the woods should be illuminated at
tight, inasmuch as the darkness which |
prevails is only broken by faint rays Of
ight from street lights several rods
iboye and below the woods.
