Not a minute is it idle; even while the passengers are down below at meals some lingering hand reaches out for the latest records. MT.

I find one in every cabin, no matter how remote it may be.

Deed of Lots Formerly Occupied by Washington-Alaska Bank Turn-
 ed Over to Government.

FAIRBANKS, Oct. Limited States Marshal L. T.

The transfer was made when Receiver Moves, of the bank, deliver ed the deeds.
 The government now holds title to an entire block in the center of the city and it is believed that at the next session of congress an appropri- ation will be asked for federal build ings here to provide for all the gov ernment departments represented in the division.
 Delegate Wickersham has express ed the opinion that the appropria- tion can be secured and vigorously opposed the action of the postoffice department leasing quarters from the Northern Commercial company, for the local office.

non-Catholic viewpoint and holds as sacred the religious convictions of non-conformists. Naturally he speaks from the Catholic viewpoint, but is certain that non- Catholics will be de- lighted to find in the sermons the echo of their own Christian beliefs. The intent of the speaker is to better his fellows by logical exposition of the recognized Christian universally accepted and to leave the application to the awakened alert conscience of each individual. He holds it as an unassailable axiom that every man is bound to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience and that it is criminal to wantonly call in question the sincerity of those who happen to differ from him in matters of religion. Therefore the presence of non-Catholics is not to be con- strued as an approbation of the Cath olic system of Christianity but merely a manifestation of interest in a set of conferences calculated by their very nature to give new light to the mind and new strength to the will.

PIT. BARROW STATISTICS
 DATE BACK TO 1880

An unusually carefully prepared report of vital statistics was receiv- ed at the office of the Secretary of Alaska, not long ago from Julius Jette, s. R., of St. Peter Claver's Mission at Point Barrow, Alaska. The report covers births, deaths and mar riages, which have Occurred in that district since 1880, and while the compiler does not guarantee it's ab- solute accuracy he writes that it is as complete as it has been possible to make it.
 According to the report the total number of births since 1880 total 1145, of this number 572 being males and classified as 12 white, 1924 na- tives, 7S half breed and 4 eskimo.
 The deaths recorded number 462, 277 being males and classified as: 1 white, 419 natives, II half breeds and the rest eskimo. 204 marriages have occurred within the period which closed with April 1st, 1915.
 In brief preface to the report MT. Jette states that polygamy is com mon among the people of that dis trict, the marriage ceremonies fre- quently being posponed for several years. Children are betrothed by their parents at a very early age. There have been several severe epi- demics during the last ten years which account for the abnormal mor- tality.

An Ancient Sea.

Many million years ago, long be- fore the birth of the Rocky Noun tains, large inland sea spread over the western and central parts of North America. In geologic language the invasion of thiG sea occurred in Mississippi time-a period just pre- ceding the one in which he bitumin- ous and anthracite coal beds that ex- tend over portions of central and east ern North America were formed. This sea covered much of the present site of the Rocky Mountain area, the central plains, and at times part of the Great Plains in the United States. At different times it opened into the Arctic Ocean on the north, the Paci- fic on the south, and probably the Gulf of Mexico on the southeast.
 This incursion of salt water was not the first or the last to invade the American continent. At each incur sion muddy, sandy, or limy deposits mixed with sea shells and other ami nal remains were laid down along the beach and upon the sea floor Strange as it may seem, most of these rocks formed ages ago now stand above sea level and constitute plains. plateaus, and even mountains.
 Animal life was very abundant in this Mississippian sea. Nearly if not all the classes of animals now liv- ing were present. Sharks and fishes, though different in appearance from the present forms, sported along the shore or swan the deep. Sea lilies or crinoids, animals built on the same general plan as the starfish but hav- ing calcareous cup with an attach ed stem, decorated the sea floor. Sea shells belonging to the same class as the oysters and snails were there. The lamp shells, >er more technically speaking the brachiopods, resembling butterflies, mingled with corkscrew- like sea net. Other forms, minute and large, figured in this life and have been wonderfully we'll preserv- ed to the present time. Finally this sea bottom began to rise, and at length it emerged, the waters with drew to the deep basins, and life was substituted for marine.
 Bulletin 595, written by G. H. Cir ty and just published by the United States Geological Survey, describes the fossil shells of animals living at one time in this acient sea in the vi- cinity of Batesville, Ark. The rocks known as the Boone chert-form- erly had been placed with the Boone limestone, but the author in this re- port has separated the two and clas- sified the Boone chert as distinct formation. Contact with contiguous formations, correlations with nonad- jacent chert beds, lithology, and faun- al character are considered in the dis cussion. Several new species are de- scribed. The bulletin is a technical description and is of interest to those investigating the paleontology of the Paleozoic rocks and the geology of the Mississippi Valley. Anyone de- siring copy of this report may oh- tain it free upon application to the Director of the United States Geolog. ical Survey, Washington, D. c.

CONTRACTORS A JOLT
Contractors who have been plan
ming to break. the cause of the bridge
and structural ironworkers by en-
ploying nonunion men received a jolt
in the short ribs Monday. City
council delivered the jolt. City coun-
Gil passed an order instructing Mayor
Thompson to inform the contractors
doing city work that employment of
strikebreakers or imported labor
would be considered a breach of con-
tract
This is deemed a fatal blow to the
well-laid plans of the contractors for
turning loose a horde of roughneck
strikebreakers imported from other
states to work in Chicago.
At the behest of the Iron league,
composed of structural iron contract
ors, the structural ironworkers last
tight voted on whether they should
return to work pending negotiations.
The answer was unanimously in the
negative The demand of the Iron
league for truce had been accom-
panied by an intimation that if work
were not resumed employment of
strikebreakers would begin this
morning. There was noticeable alb
Sence of the threatened strikebreak-
ers today.
Most of the structural iron work
in Chicago today is being done under
city contract. The Jackson blvd,
Lake st. and other bridges, the pump
ing station and recreation pier en-
ployed many iron men. The con-
tractors intended to rush nonunion
men to these jobs. The city has de-
creed that if they do it will be a viola

For months Britain's naval operations have

Of the German submarine campaign and our crit
