Simple Test for Waters prrlty.

simple Test Tor waters PErlty.
1t is sometimes useful to be able to
obtain an idea of the purity or other
wise of given water supply without
mourning the expense of full chem
ical and meteorological analysis.
Among the constituents Of sewage
are phosphates in comparative abund-
ance. If a clear-glass bottle is nearly
filled with the water to be tested, a
lump or two of sugar added, and the
whole corked tightly and placed In a
sunny place for two or three days, the
water should remain quite clear. If.
however, it contains phosphates In ex-
cess, a milkiness will have developed
in it, in which case the suspicion of
contamination would be sufficiently
confirmed to warrant full analysis
of the water supply before any more
of it is used for drinking purposes.

An Iditarod party consisting of three
 women and seventeen men, who started
 down Che river in a gasoline power
 scow, expecting Co catch a boat at St.
 Michael for the outside, were caught
 by cold weather and frozen in at Kot- lik, and were compelled to mush eighty
 miles in a driving snow storm. At St.. Michael they were picked up by the revenue cutter Bear and taken to Nome in time to catch the Senator for Seattle.
 eward.-Newspaperdom in this city is now in an uproar for the reason that it has just been discovered that the majority of the stock in the newly issued local paper, "The Alaska Post," is owned by four members of the Sew. ard city council, called locally, "The Big Four" As it is seen here there would be no harm in the councilmen owning stock in the paper were it not for the fact that all of the city business goes to the new paper. The people here think that the city business should go to the paper making the lowest bid for it, but it goes to the new paper regardless of that fact or without the city asking for bids.
 A Cordova paper notes the arrival in that city from the interior of Delegate James Wickersham, and says: "He intends visiting Valdez, Seward and Anchorage aud at the latter place will make an investigation ot the manner in which the government railroad is being constructed, in order to familiar ize himself with that work before re- turning to his duties at Washington. Judge Wickersham is naturally inter ested in haviug the commission begin active railroad work from both ends of the line next summer, as only surveys have thus far been made in the interior where the people are anxious to see the first rails laid to the Nenana coal fields, as this fuel is badly needed for mining purposes. In the opinion of the delegate but little or no opposition will be encountered by Secretary Lane in securing from congress the neces- sary appropriation to rush the railroad to a speedy completion. He explained that Representative Fitzgerald and from Georgia and Okla. homa were strong in their opposition to the passage of the railroad bill, and particularly bitter against the clause which would empower the issuance of S35, 100000 worth of bonds. This clause was finally eliminated from the act with the understanding that there would be no fight made by these op- ponents of the original measure against the money being appropriated for the road at the coming session of congress. Accordingly. as explained by Delegate  Wickersliam, all the secretary of the interior has to do is to put the amount of money he thinks will be needed by the Alaska Railroad commission in the estimate which be furnishes of his ex penses for the ensuing year, and con gress will appropriate the money with. out question. The money is there, and it does not require an act of congress to get it. An act of congress provides 35,OOO,OOO for the construction of the Alaska railroad. The bill has passed, the money has been appropriated. As the secretary of the interior needs it, be can ask for it"

The c. K. M. Co.'s power plant at the mouth of Bear creek, near Dawson, was recently destroyed by Ere. The loss is estimated at a quarter of a million dollars.
 The Colum bia hotel in Fairbanks was destroyed by fire October 3Oth. The extreme cold hampered the firemen in fighting the flames and it was impos- sible to save the building. One of tbe firemen, Jack Hansen, fell from lad. der and was injured. The loss is esti. mated at 5000, none of which was covered by insurance.
 The ptarmigan are now coming down from the bills, according to the Eskimo hunters, all of which indicates "heap plenty cold winter" or something of that kind. The most apparent feature of these native prognostication are that they always seem to cling pretty much to the same old formula and it usually contains anything but a pleasant pros. pect.-Nome Nugget.
 The Grand Trunk Pacific railroad contemplates a line of steamers for the Southeastern Alaska run as far north as Skagway. The present plan is to iuaugurate the service about Jan. 1, 1916, by placing on the run a small steamer with ample facilities to meet the requirements of the present. With the opening of spring, the Prince Ru pert and Prince George will alternate between Seattle and Skagway, reaching the latter port each Friday and sailing south Saturday evening.
 From all parts of interior Alaska, the reports received in Fairbanks indicate that the output is much larger than in several seasons. From Ruby, Iditarod, Circle, the Koyukok and Hot Springs, the reports are to the effect that busi- ness conditions in general have im proved during the last six months and a general air of optimism prevails. Fairbanks heads the interior camps by boosting it's output fully half a million dollare; Ruby's production will be quarter of million larger, according to to the Ruby Record-Cuizen; while Circles output is more than a hundred thousand more than in 1914. Just how the Koyukuk production will compare with last year is not known, but letters received from there during the last month indicated that the camp would hold it's own and possibly show up little better than last season. With the big Manley plant doing well at Iditarod, and the dredges running along smoothly, the output there is slightly in excess of 1914 Recent ar rivals from the Circle country says that the Berry dredge paid for itself during the first few months of opera. ton, and the outfit is expected to clear up fully a hundred thousand to the good. No one knows just what the dredge did, as the management kept as a secret the exact amount of the out put. The output of the Hot Springs country is not known yet, but A. Book, the owner of much ground in the camp, stated when in Fairbanks that he was satisfied that tbe production would be fully as large as in 1914 With all these encouraging reports, the bus mess people and residents of the in- terior are resting easier than they have for several years.

At least one newspaper man in Alas ka has gained a fortune. That is, he didn't make it in the business, but some relative was considerate enough to die and leave what he couldn't take with him, so it was passed or to Wulf of the Valdez Prospector. Did he put it into the business? Not on your daguerreotype. He went back where the fortune was left and took hold of it without the least compunctiou, and proposes to nurse it the balance of his days.
 Senator Frank Aldrich, of Nome, who recently returned from his first visit to New York city, was much impressed by the sights he saw in that busy metrop. oils. He says that the street car com panies lowered the steps on cars few years ago to enable the hobble skirted women to step on, but the senator de- clares that it is DO longer necessary, because the women wear their skirts up to their knees and could step On anything The senator also declares that he had no use for his watch, be- cause the ladies all wear ankle time pieces and short skirts.
 Capt. c. l.. Peabody, we'll known mining and transportation man of Alaska, who is in Seattle, enroute to the East to consult with his financial associates, believes he has discovered near Valdez, a body of copper ore, which will rank with the great Cordova, Latouche and Ellamar properties It lies in a direct line with those produc- ing mines, and mining men in Valdez believe it to be an extension of the same ore body penetrated by them. It is just across the divide from the big Granby copper mine and is about fif- teen miles from Valdez. The Peabody Alaska Copper Corporation, of which Thomas H. Pickford, a capitalist, of Washington, D. C.; A. V Brauer, of the Great Lakes Steamship Company, and several other eastern men are the of- fcers, owns the property on which the discovery was made. The property consists of thirty three claims on Sul- phide creek. "We did not know when we took over the properties just what they were" said Capt Peabody yester- day. "Now that we have discovered these large and very accessible ore bodies, the corporation stands ready to go ahead. We are already in commuui- cation with a New York firm to get estimates on the cost of a tramway from the mine to Valdez, distance of fifteen miles. It probably will cost SlO,OOO a mile." Capt. Peabody attrib utes the discovery of the immense copper deposits to a freak of nature. Almost all the snow on the mountain tops near Valdez was melted by warm weather last spring and summer, he says, and this barred the outcropping copper. Large lodges of chalco-pyrite and malachite ore were discovered a few weeks ago. Capt. Peabody says the chalco-pyrite will run about S2 a ton and che malachite about S7O. The thirty-tbree claims lie along the face of mountain. The ore lies on the surface and Capt. Peabody says it can be mined cheaply because it will not require the sinking of any shafts. lt will practically be surface mine. Contracts have been let for somet0nnel runrl- -p

PIONEER
LIFE MEN
TOFR0LIC

Tomorrow morning at o'clock. 100
field men of the Pioneer Life Insurance
Co. from the states of North Dakota,
South Dakota, Minnesota, Montana
and Idaho. will leave Fargo via their
own special train for Detroit. From
that point they will go to Shoreham
for a four days convention and OUT
ing as guests Of the company.
The object of the meeting is for
educational and social ends. Meetings
will be held in Harding's auditorium at
Shoreham during the whole four days
and regular convention program
will be adhered to. A school of In
struction will be conducted in connec-
tion with the meetings.
The commercial club of Detroit has
made all arrangements for the outing
and will provide many features Of
entertainment for the visitors. On one
of the evenings of the convention. a
banquet will be held though complete
arrangements have not yet been an
nounced.
On their special train. the party will
carry its own band made up from
among the members OF the field men
and the entire party will be garbed in
white uniforms. They will be met at
their arrival at Detroit by automobiles
that will convey them to the conven-
ton grounds.
Outside of the regular convention
features, there will be entertainment
galore. There will be boat excursions.
archery contests, fishing trips and bali
games. What promises to be one of
the features. and an extremely inter-
esting one, is ball game between the
North Dakota and Minnesota forces
of the company. An intense though
friendly rivalry exists between the two
factions from q business standpoint,
and the game is certain to be a hard
fought one.
The features OF this convention
demonstrated the up-to- -dateness of the
Pioneer Life Co. in breaking away
from the old idea as: to conventions
and giving its men something new.

tlons concerning the misuse of the
American flag by British merchantmen
will be included in the general note
which the United States intends soon
to send Great Britain covering re-
straints of American commerce in con-
nectton with the so o-called blockade.
Secretary Lansing disclosed that the
investigation being conducted by the
United States government into cases
of the alleged misuse of.the American
flag to deceive German Submarine
commanders has not yet been com
pleted, but evidence in specific cases
probably will be called separately to
the attention of Great Britain, while
the general subject will be included in
the new note.
