Bob Sheldon, the pioneer auto stage driver between Fairbanks and the coast, who went out of business last fall when the snow became too deep for the machines, is again doing busi- ness at the old stand according to the Fairbanks Times.
 Sheldon has cut the axles of his machines so that the wheels now travel in the ruts made by the ordi nary double-ender sleighs. The bod ies of the machines are set high so that they do not come into contact with the center ridge. One of the machines is used on the Fairbanks end of the run and another from the summit to Chitina. Double-end. CTS are used in transferring passen, gers over the divide.

UNFRAMED, BUT NOT so HAPPY

Germany's big and little war lords are fond of comparing present con- ditions in Belgium and Luxemburg, as showing the results, in the one case, of mad resistance, and, on the other, of a wise submission The difference is indeed enormous, but 1t does not lie wholly in the fact that the Belgians are today the beggared remnant of ruined people, while the Luxemburgers have suffered no material injuries of any consequence and are not threatened with any.
 One notices that the young ruler of the duchy does not regard the situation as at all satisfactory, and that, just as she protestedd with ve- hemence and tears when the Germans violated the solemnly guaranteed neu- trality of her little land, so now she refuses to have any except the coldest and most formal of dealings with the invaders and remains vol untary prisoner in her palace. More than possibly her subjects share her resentment of the way in which their rights have been ignored, and it may we'll be that they do not regard their lot, after all, as so much more en- yiable than that of the Belgians as their masters would like to have us believe.
 Just as there was, so there is, nothing for them to do except to sub- init to the irremediable. What was heroic when done by their neighbors would have been merely grotesque if attempted by themselves. Any op' position which they could have Of fered to the kaiser's armies would have been brushed aside with hardly an effort, but one hears no rejoicing from them that they were not ex- pected by anybody to make a fight that they are as safe as they are helpless

 and succeeded her father in 1912, as there were no male heirs. She IS rather pathetic figure, and nobody can laugh at her resolute abstention from any exchange of courtesies With those who regarded so little her many titles to their respect. Or course her coldness, like her tears, is quite futile, but nobody with any heart would call i+ amusing or ab- surd. At least she is not bought by humiliating mercies. Daughter as she is, of a warrior race, she probably thinks the price of peace intolerably high and perhaps her people agree with her.--Ex.

THE CAPTIVE OFFICERS
 ARE NOT SUFFERING

LONDON.-The Daily Mail says the British government, at a cost of $1OO,- 900, has converted Donington Hall, Leicestershire, one of the most beau tiful old halls in England, into home of rest for captured German officers, of whom it will accommodate near ly 300
 There are about fifty acres of park land, with spacious lawns and charm, ing views across the valley of the Trent. The house is finely appoint ed and contains a dining room with carved oak panels and carved and polished elm ceiling. a smoking lounge equal to that of a good ho tel, six bathrooms with hot and cold water, and a shower bath; also a medical ward, with doctor in con- stant attendance. Electric light has been installed and all the apart ments are heated.
 There is also canteen, from which the prisoners can obtain wines and spirits of all the principal brands. They will be waited upon by German valets, shaved by Ger. man barbers, and served with food by German walters captured in the German ranks.
 Alongside the hall is an old chap el with stained-glass windows in which German priest will conduct services. Beneath the window is the text, On earth peace; good will to- ward men,
 | The Daily Mail says cynically: "One must suppose that the war of flee has really at heart the idea oi l reforming the Prussian officer, and | by letting him soak in the sugges tion of beauty. and peace. showing him the difference between the 'kul tur' that watched Louvain burn and the kultur inspired by a sunset ir the valley of the Trent"

SANTA ANA NOW
 SPLENDID BOAT
Has Taken the Place of the Dora On Westward Run With Head-
 quarters At Seward.

The Alaska Steamship Company has announced that it will continue to make Seward the headquarters ot it's steamers on the westward run. When it was announced that the San ta Ana, which has taken the Dora s run, was being fitted as an oil burn CT it was believed that Cordova would be headquarters owing to the com pany's oil tanks being located there. The Santa Ana will receive her fuel oil from the steamer with which she connects at Seward.
 The Santa Ana has been overhaul ed at cost of $2O,OOO, and has been made into splendid vessel for the westward trade. She has accommo dations for seventy-five frst-class and twenty-five second-class passengers and cargo space for 600 tons. A new dining room was also provided when the vessel was overhauled.
 The people of the westward, while they will regret the departure of the Dora, which has been calling at their port for many years, will welcome the Santa Ana as great improve ment in every way and one which will help to hasten the development of that part of the country. She was at Seward to connect with the Ala meda this trip.
