FIRE PROTECTION
Installation of Instantaneous Alarm System Will Add to the Ef-
 feciiyeness of Department

John C. Currin, who assumed the duties of city fire chief on the 18th inst IS mak- ing arrangements for the installation ot a fire alarm system which will be great i'm proyement over the old method of turning in alarms Under the system m practlce IL is customary to call up the telephone eX- change and the operator spreads the alarm as fully as possible by telephone. The re suits are, of course, somewhat slow
 Through the courtesy of Gene Norton the city is allowed the use ot the monster electric Claxon horn which IS part of the eouipment of the launch Comet. Attached to strong electric batteries, this horn pro duces a most startling and rasplng sound which can be heard for miles. It IS safe to say that an alarm sounded on thls lnstru- ment will wake all sleepers within the city limits, and probably 1t may be heard at Flat City "
 Ii is the intention of MT Currin to install switches at various points in the business district, from which alarms may be sent ln The points suggested are: The N. C, Co., corner, Sam Winners old place ot business, the Pioneer corner or Joe Smiths, point near the tramway on First avenue, and an other on Second avenue near the A. B. hall or the commissioners office. One switch would be at the telephone office. In thls manner valuable time would be saved ln case of the discovery of 9 contIagratlon near any one of these points. It should not be necessary to point out the importance Of promptness in turning in fire alarm. Some times the lost of few minutes may mean the destruction of thousands of dollars worth of property that might have been saved
 The fact that MT. Currln IS practical electrician and has volunteered to do the work of installing the system during hls spare time will result in the improvement being made without cost to the city, out side of the expense of the material used, which will amount to but few dollars.
 Mir. Currin is to be commended for the efforts he is making to bring the fire pro lection facilities up to their utmost ett- ciency. With the splendid pumping plant, aided by an up-to-date alarm system, the citizens of Iditarod may congratulate them selves on possessing very effective protec- ton against fire.

ALASKA GOLD PROPOSlTJON
 INVOLVES ENORMOUS SUM

A story which has been current in the financial district of Seattle IS to the effect that the organization of a $25 000 900 com pany is planned, with Nevada charter, by mining men of that state, New York city and Seattle
 It is said that this company purposes to acquire various properties in Alaska Among other properties specifically named are the Topkuk Ditch Company at Nome. the Chi hagoff, near Sitka, and various other placer properties on Atln lake and dredging prop critics on the Yukon.
 It is also contemplated to employ 100 prospectors to prospect Alaska and British Columbia. particularly on the hne of the new government railway.
 The Chhagof property is the only one now paying dividends; the dividends from this, it is expected, will pay the prospcc- tors expenses,
 It is said that if these transfers are made the stock will be listed on the New York curb market under the name of the World Mining Company"
 There will be an early resumption of on- erations on Atlin lake and an entire new management of the Chihagoff property, ac- cording to the report. There IS to be a meeting soon to complete the details.
 The Topkuk property was controlled by the late Henry Bratnober and the opera tions were seriously hampered by MT. Brat nobers illness and death. It IS believed that there is a vast amount of gold that can be saved by putting up the proper equip ment The principal difficulty was shortage of water.
 It may be assumed that the success which the Alaska-Juneau and the Alaska Gold propositions met in their Notation in New York has probably inspired the efforts for this corporation, says the Seattle Post Intelligencer

 Europe stands in flames while across the ocean America lives in peace; she hears not the thunder of the cannon. A fruitful rain of geld IS falling on land enjoying golden peace We cry out to America toF aid thousands of thy loyal and industrious citizens come from towns now beng de stroyed by the shells of war thou art send ing. Instead of gifts and money thou once sent back to childhood homes from Loau to Lemberg, thou sendest iron shells to sup ply the army Citizens you gave iron for gold, death for life, and you, our children, are murdering your parents

JAPANESE EXPRESSMAN
 HAS EXCITING EXPERIENCE

Wada, the little Japanese expressman, had an experience this week which will add con siderably to his stock of knowledge of the proper handling of horses. On Tuesday last he started to drive across the frozen lake in the southern city limits with his recently acquired gray team attached to a wagon, for the purpose of getting a load of hay on the other side of the lake. All went we'll until he left the ice and started to drive over the frozen moss and niggerheads at the edge of the lake. The swampy ground was not frozen sufficiently to hold the weight of the horses, and they broke through, being immersed in the moss and mud up to their necis An alarm was telephoned from the wireless station, and scores of men with horses and ropes rushed to the scene. After strenuous work for half an hour the horses were dragged out without having sustained serious injury, and the team was quickly placed under shelter and cared for.
