of Kindness for others and he alb
horred the plaudits which usually
follow charity. He was the most
congenial soul that breathed, and in
company-rich or poor, of high or
low estate-every man was his equal.

Beyond His love and care.

THE SECOND
GREAT WAR.

After George III. had signed the
treaty between the British nation and
the United States OF America
acknowledging the freedom of the lat
ter, an enthusiastic French Official
met DR.. Franklin and extending his
hand congratulated the great Am
erican on the success of the war for
freedom. Franklin thanked him, but
said, .There will be another war; we
have merely won the first" Another
was precipitated by England in 1917.

ing with alarm conditions which are
sure to arise after the present ter
rible war shall have ceased. The
sword will have been sheathed, bp'
an economic struggle is inevitable
and many years may pass away be-

The announcement that representa-
tives of the Allied powers will begin
their conference in Paris on April ~
for the discussion of economic ana
commercial questions is one OF the
highest Importance and significance
as is suggested by a.cotemporary' II
is a formal and public recognition OF
the fact that the commercial and
economic problems created by the
war and which will arise for settle
ment after it is over, will be even
more serious and difficult than those
of a political and territorial charac-
ter. The fact is beginning to dawn
upon everybody that in plunglng mo
this war Europe has raised deVli
in the shape Of financial, economic
and trade questions which it may be
much harder TO lay after peace Is
declared than the iicnd OF mllltarlsm.

that they must build up almost every

economic effects of the ncw era which

SACRIFICES AT vERDUN
Richmond Times-Dispatch)

(R;chmond Times-Dispatch)
If the French estimate of German
casualties be correct-and it appears
to have been made conservatively and
supported by exact knowledge-the
series Of efforts TO take Verdun al
ready has become one Of the most
disastrous struggles in all history.
To attain this objective--the fruits
Of which would be rather moral than
matcrial-the German high command
already has sacrificed 100000 men
Only policy mixed with despera-
ton could dictate the payment of such
a price. Now that it has been paid,
Germany will keep up the effort un.
til success has been won or failure
finally and definitely established.
In stragetic sense Germany can
excuse her sacrifices, even if victory
reward them, only as part Of plan to
shorten her western line. Due north
from Vcrdun to Liege and the Dutch
frontier, or northwest to Brussels and
Antwerp, runs the line she would ma
turally defend if Belgium and North
crn France were evacuated. Such a
retirement would reduce the length Of
the trenches rom Approximately $50
miles to 12Q, it if should be establish
cd on Liege and the Dutch frontic:
or to 100, perhaps, if it were cstab-
lished on Brussels and Antwerp. In
either event, it would release 100000
or 100000 trench defenders for ac-
tive service elsewhere.
This purpose may explain the Ger
man sacrifice.

FOUR OLDT|MERS MAKE STRIKE
 CAL|FORN|A

That fortune smiles on some Alas kans wherever they go, is proven by the fact that John McGinn, Jack Price, Frank Manley and E. J. Ives are into the money in an old claim in Tuo- loumne county, in California.
 Mir McGinn was offered an option on placer mining claim in Tuoloum- ne county for a small amount of money. The claim was immediately above one from which Senator Hearst, father of William Randolph Heart, took several million dollars. It has been worked for many years, but somehow did not seem to yield very much But MT. McGinn took the op- tion on the ground and asked Jack Price to go there and investigate 1t.
 MT. Price went to the claim. He went down in the hole and was picking on bedrock. He found gravel on the bedrock. This led him to believe that the hole had never been sunk to real bedrock, and he or dered a couple of men to keep on picking and sinking. Today $2 and $3 pans are not rare finds in the claim. It was just as Mir. Price figured it out. They were on the rim of boul- der. They drifted and struck the paystreak, and are now in the money, and in it in no uncertain way.
 The gravel is hard and has to be run through a. small pebble mill. Working two or three men for few weeks, without the proper kind of a mill to handle the gravel, the former Alaskans more than paid for their op- tion and the expenses connected with the investigation of and work on the mine, and got good profit besides. The men are well pleased and will in stal up to date machinery on the ground and work it on a large scale in the near future.

FORMER VALDEZ WOMAN WRITES
 WAR POETRY.

Mrs Harriet Joseph Burr, who for merly conducted a dressmaking es- tablishment at Valdez. is the author of the following poem, which appeared in a recent issue of the Portland Ore gonian:
 ARE 70 UREADY? Are you ready, are you ready,
 Do you hear your nations call? Do you feel you could surrender,
 Your country, home and all? Are you ready, are you ready
 When the bugle sounds the blast? Do you feel within your bosom
 The echoes of the past? Are you. ready, are you ready
 Your fair country to defend? To join your loyal comrades
 And battle to the end? Are you ready, are you ready
 If the call should come today? If our shores should be invaded
 And the enemy comes to slay? Are you ready, are you ready
 With your navy, shot and shell? To give the foe invading
 The answer that will tell? Are you ready, are you ready
 To keep your flag unfurled? And help to make this Nation
 The most glorious in the world?

b|G BODY OF ORE
 POR WELLS

H. w. Vance, who is developing a gold quartz property on Bottles bay. in the Port Wells district, reports that good progress is being made in the work of running the tunnel into the mountain on the ore body. The ground which he is developing is known locally as the Daly and Ben nett property.
 The original locators run several hundred feet of tunnel last year, and when the property was taken over by Mir. Vance he gave a contract to them for two hundred feet of tunnel, which will develop the ore body at lower level. The new tunnel is now in a depth of seventy feet, and the lead which was only eighteen inches on the surface, has widened out to four feet in the face of the drift. It is good commercial ore, and as condi- lions are favorable for economic min ing and milling it will return hand some profits when more fully devel- oped and equipped with a mill.
 A splendid waterpower is available and as the ground is covered with timber suitable for lumber and mine purposes, the property has a promis- ing future.

Sprayinq Peaches.

Wherever the blossom buds of the
peach have been killed by winter in
jury to such an extent that there are
only enough buds alive for crop, it is
suggested by the horticultural depart
ment of the New Jersey agricultural
experiment station that growers give
special attention to the control of the
plum curculio This insect appears at
about the time the trees begin to
bloom and feeds on the young leaves.
The curculio does very little or no
damage to the young fruit until the
calyces are shedding, when egg laying
begins. By spraying the trees just as
the petals have fallen from the bios
SONS many insects are killed before
they deposit the eggs, and the danger
Of later injury is considerably reduced.
A spray consisting of three pounds of
arsenate Of lead paste or one and three
quarters pounds of the powder to fifty
gallons of water applied at the fall of
the petals is recommended. Where the
set of fruit is very light a second
spraying Of arsenate of lead, common
ly combined with the self boiled lime
sulphur, should be made just as the
''shucks'' or calyces are being shed
from the fruits.
