Four cents a word is some price" to pay for news service, yet that is precisely what Alas kan publications have to contri- bute for the purpose to keeping their readers informed of current happenings" says the December Trade Register. "The Trade Register wonders just how long some other business institutions would "sit in the game" if it came right down to spending real money for real service. People who have never been in the north cannot realize, perhaps, how pre- c1ous a commodity news is, nor realize the fearful handicaps un- der which northern publishers deliver the goods.
 Business men should appre- ciate more fully the value of the local press, whether it be in their home cities, neighboring towns or in distant countries like AL aska. It is all very well to talk about what "outside is doing for Alaska by way of exploitation and publicity, but the fact re- mains that there wouldn't be very much to Alaska or any other community without a few local papers to keep alive the spirit of local pride and enterprise. Con- sidering the numerous oDDortun- ities to complain. Alaskans are strangely patient and this goes double for Alaska publishers.
 Their patience can be attribut- ed to hut one thing and that is an overwhelming faith in their coun- try. Their faith assuredly we'll founded, yet Alaskans and those who deal with Alaska would con- slider just what all hands owe to the northern publishers"

BEN NYCREN DISCUSSES WHITE
 WHALING
Seattle Times.)

Seattle Times.)
 The white whales of Alaska are going to fool a lot of persons next summer. They are the vii. jest animals alive. Persons who think white whales are easy to get are going to be left"
 This is the sage opinion ot Ben Nygren, hunter, trapper, musher, one of the surest and quickest rifle shots in Alaska and who knows so much about the habits of trout and other game fishes that some persons think there are fins under his shirt.
 Nygren is spending his first winter in Seattle after seventeen years in Alaska. He is probably the only white an in Northwest Alaska who ever actually caught a white whale. It took him four years to learn their habits.
 It recently has been discovered that the skin of the white whale has considerable value in Europe, where the process of tanning it is known, and the oil also is val uable for use in making high grade soaps. Companies have been formed to establish sta tions in Alaska.
 Nygren, who always kept a big string of dogs at Nome, began hunting white whale about eight years ago. He wanted to cut down the dog feed bill. He final ly figured out a method of catch ing the whale and has captured ninety and 100 every summer since. Nygren brought out a number of skins with him last fall.

Aside from the statement that


 Alaskan journals pay four cents per word for news service, which is slightly in error, the above ar ticle will doubtless receive the endorsement of, not only the northern publishers but also all others who have given the slight est consideration to the real value of the newspaper in the comnun- al life of the territory. As the article suggest there are really not many who realize that there wouldn't be much to Alaska or any other community without a few local papers to keep alive the spirit of local pride and enter prise. The references to local pride" does not, of course apply very we'll to Nome for the reason that, generally speaking, there isn't any. There are a few, per haps, who have some degree of pride in the town, but the ma iority have but little real interest aside from the possibilities it af- lords in enabling them to get an easy living.
 However, that portion of the statement relative to enterprise, applies in a considerable degree even here, where people live in the doldrums of discomfort and uncertainty. In the matter of fos- tering and encouraging enterprise the newspaper is a marked force in the industrial life of this com munity, just as it is in any other community, great or small. The minimizing will doubtless consid- CT that the local newspaper really "cuts no ice" but brief glance at the advertising columns of the papers is speedily convincing that the business element at least grant them due recognition as an important factor in local enter prise. In all truth there wouldn't be much to the community unless the newspaper did exercise some degree of influence
 A community that can do with out a newspaper has something the matter with it, in very de- cided sense. No matter where you go, the town without a local paper will nearly always be found to be of the non-progressive leth- argic, moss back" variety. This, in itself, seems a sufficient assur- ance that the newspaper has some vital influence on public life. Of course, town may boast a half dozen papers and still be far from progressive or enterprising but,
 in the main, the opposite rule obtains. The community posses sing progressive local paper usually has strong tendency to go ahead along the paths of de- velopment and progress. Wheth- CT this is due to the newspaper is, of course, something of ques- ton but it can hardly be doubted that the newspaper is a powerful factor in fostering and encourag- ing such expression where it al- ready exists. We believe that this particularly applies to such communities as those of Alaska where the local newspaper is the sole medium for the prompt dis semination of information. Here, perhaps more than in the com- munities of more favored situa- tions, the newspaper can become if it wills vigorous force in guid- ing the thought and tendencies of the people beside doing a great deal in the line of encouraging enterprise through calling atten- ton to such avenues of endeavor as may be open.

Expect Troops to Concen- trate at BOuquillas-Sev- eral Bodies of Bandits
 Operating on Border

Marathon, Tex, May 9.-The two troops of the Eighth cavalary now moving toward Boquillas on the Rio Grande are camped tonight at Millers ranch, 70 miles from here, while the two troops of the Fourteenth cavalry and a machine gun troop that left the Marathon base this morning pitched camp 30 miles south at Henderson s ranch
 These troops probably will concen- trate at Boquillas, where Colonel Slp- ley will determine their disposition. long range fight across the Rio Crande between a detachment of Amer ican soldiers and bandits took place near Boquillas yesterday afternoon. Captain Cole of the Fourteenth cav airy, who has been making observa- tions along the Rio Grande, reported the fighting. He did not think any body was killed or injured Captain Fox of the Texas Rangers however, said he believed several Mexicans were hit
 Captain Cole informed Colonel Sib- ley that there were several large bodies of bandits, probably 800 in all, operating along the south side of the Rio Grande. He said he was convinced that there were many Mexican bandit sympathizers on the American side who were cooperating with them.
 q went to Glenn Springs Sunday and with a detachment of men secuted the Rio Grande carefully between Boquillas and San Vicente. l am con vinced that there are no organized bodies on the American side of the river" said Captain Cole.
 There are several on the Mexican side. At Tajitas there is a body of 200 Mexicans. while another of 200 or so Villa bandits is making south for Bo- quillas.
 "Only two dead Mexicans have been found. but there were undoubtedly others killed in the Glenn Springs raid. There is a detachment of one cavalry troop at Glenn Springs and another at Terlingua"
 Colonel Sibley will go to Boquillas tomorrow where he will join Col. A. C. Macombe and Major Langhorne. He said he did not know where he would make his headquarters
 "We will meet every condition that confronts us." said Colonel Sibley, who Is an old campaigner in the Sioux country.

BIBB

Centreville, May 9.-(Specal.) .)-The pri- mary election passed off today without unusual excitement, although intense in- terest was manifested in many of the contests for county officers. Chief interest centered about the race for probate judge The candidates were w. l.. Pratt, former probate judge; W. J. Nicholson, present probate judge by appointment, and w. H. Thomas.
 It is impossible at this hour to fore cast the winner, but the race seems to be between Pratt and Nicholson Lewis seems to be an easy winner for tax col lector. Avery seems to have defeated his four opponents for circuit clerk while the race for tax assessor is in doubt Far rar, Wood and Lavender seem to be sure winners for county board of education, with the other places in doubt
 Denson leads for delegate from state at large with Rushton a close second Smith appears to have defeated Burr for national committeeman in Bibb county, while Pelham, Knight and Whiteside seem to have the best of the votes for ap- pellate judges. At Centrevlle box 235 votes were cast. About POO votes were cast in Bibb county in the primary to- day. On account of length of ballot it is impossible to get any definite idea of ultimate result.

|NO GREAT INCREASE. HIN MENTAL TROUBLE.

Paris, May .-(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)--The war has not sensibly increased the number of cases of mental disorders amounting to insanity in the army. Professor Regis of the Central Institution for Mental Diseases at Bordeaux gives fig ures showing that of 1232 officers and soldiers sent to the establishment be- tween August 20, 1914, and January 31, 1916 suffering from mental com motion," there developed only 69 cases of permanent derangement
 These permanently insane were most ly reservists and a third of them of the oldest contingents from 40 years up. There was one officer, two subal- terms and 66 privates Forty-seven of them came from the front 21 from the bases in the interior, proving that in- sanity is as likely to develop in the barracks as in the trenches. -Iore than 8 third of the cases are of melancholia with characteristic symptoms of imag- mary accusations or self accusations relating to army discipline, to courage and conduct in face of the enemy and various details of military duty. There were only eight alcoholics in the num- Der.
