Why The Hammer.

Why is it that some people al
ways have a hammer out for this
town? II other people hammered
them as they knock the town
their walls could be heard clear
to heaven--or hell, 1t is always
advisable to get rid Of a crouch,
but it is still moro advisable to
lose it in the woods instead OF
sowing it broadcast in the heart
of a fine community of energetic
and respectable people.

AMERICAN FROZEN BEEF
 APPRECIATED BY PARIS

PARIS: The first consignment of seventy-one tons of American frozen beef has proved greatly to the taste of Parisians. About 4O0O pounds are sold daily at the central market, Les Halles. The commissary in charge says that the meat is spoken highly of on all sides. and as partic- ularly suitable for grilling and roasting.
 The supply has hitherto come from the firm in Chicago, but contracts are about to be signed with the Lon- don agents of other Chicago firms.
 Owing to the small amount im- ported and to the fact that the ex- pertinent has been only five weeks on trial, no effect on prices has been registered as yet. It is anticipated that as the good quality of the meat becomes more widely know this ef- feet will begin to operate. The price of the frozen meat at present is be- low that of the French grown meat, namely, 14 to 18 cents per pound. as compared with IS and P cents for French.

ALLIES PREPARE TO
 FIGHT 10 YEARS LONGER
LONDON. The British and Frenc]

1 LONDON: The British and French governments believe that it has been Germany's purpose for years to over ride Europe with her army, that there has been a fixed determination on the part of Emperor William to make war on and whip France, Rus eia and England. That she expected to defeat them one or two at time cepting this as premise, it is ar gued in London that it would be folly to stop the war until peace shall come through complete victory for one side or the other, and there is no question but that military opinion in all three capitals is convinced be- yond the question of doubt that there can be but one end to the con- fict is carried to it's logical conclu- sion and that is the defeat of Ger many.
 That the war will be much longer than it was thought by Lord Kitcn ener when he said that it would con- tinue for three years, is the convic- ticn of many, though it is believed that the German and Austrian armie.; will be forced from foreign soil by the end of the second year and that from that time forward until the enc, the contest will be waged within |Germany and Austria.
 That England, France and Russia are preparing for long war is evil denced by every act of the govern ments at their capitals.

RAILROAD WILL OPEN
 CANYON CREEK DISTRICT

The Canyon creek district of the Kenai peninsula will prove one of the biggest gold producers of the north
 with the coming of the railroad and
 the possibility of getting the proper equipment, says John R. Mcdonald, of Seward, who has recently pur- chased holding on Canyon creek. The district is about fifty miles square or a toal area of 2,5O0 square miles. It is bounded on the north by Turn again Arm, on the west by Resurrec- tion river, on the south by Kenai lake and by the government railroad on
 the east. The natural boundaries form a rough square and the entire region Iis cut up by hills and creeks, making lit an ideal location for the use of hy- |draulics.
 But best of all is the fact that the placer gold is there," said MT.
 Mcdonald. "The district Is one of the old districts of the north, but has never Uoou O0FolOpcu UoCduSc OA Iue difficulty of taking in equipment. It has produced lot of gold through primitive methods but it's real worth jas district will date from the pres ent or since the railroad has been assured. Practically all the ground has been staked and a great deal of it twenty years ago, so there is little chance for prospector to locate anything. The many creeks heading in the district insure plenty of water
 for the sluices and giants and once the owners of these properties begin to operate there will be a new gold |centre. Among the creeks that have been located are Resurrection, Can yon, Crow creek and host of smaller ones. AS far as the gold being there lis concerned l saw one man last fall bring out sixty-seven pounds of the metal on his back, the result of the seasons work with a primitive hyd- raulic outfit.

GOVERNOR REPORTS
 LABOR CONDITIONS
Annual Report of Governor Strong
 of Labor Last Year.

Governor Strong, of Alaska, in his
 annual report on labor conditions in
 the territory last year says:
 There was an excess of labor in nearly all industrial sections of Alas |ka during the fiscal year. Despite many warnings given by government officials and others through the pub lie press the influx of men seeking work was almost continuous. In part
 this influx of men seeking work was stimulated by the beginning of con- |struction work on the government railroad at Anchorage on Cook Inlet.
 However, up to this time, a consid- |erable amount of labor has been ab- |sorbed in railroad work while mining
 and prospecting afforded employment for others.
 The mines of southeastern Alaska
 give employment to a large number of men and the number so employed lis constantly being increased. It is expected that the opening of some of the coal fields in Alaska will greatly iextend the volume of mining opera ,tions throughout the territory thru the furnishing of coke and cheaper fuel for industrial use. The fishing industry the present season gave em- ployment to the usual number of men; in this industry many Indians, Chinese, Jananese and other aliens fare employed.
 The territorial legislature at it's re- cent session passed an 8-hour law for all workers in lode and placer mines; and during the past summer in the
 Ruby and Fairbanks mining districts
 labor strikes resulted in some of the placer mines, when the employers at tempted to reduce the wage scale
 which had been paid for 10 hour iday. In the Fairbanks district the difficulty was soon adjusted, however, and the men returned to work. In the Ruby district the difficulty has |continued without settlement. An g. hour law was already generally in force in the lode mines of the terri tory. The wage scale paid to placer miners in the Fairbanks and Ruby districts during the summer season prior to the passage of the hour law was $6 per day. In the Nome dis trict no reduction of the wage scale followed the enforcement. of the S.
 hour law. Wage scales in other parts |of the territory have remained prac- tically stationary during the year. The scale of wages paid in lode mines in
 Coastal Alaska is from $3 to $3.50 per day.

WOMAN MAKES LONG TRIP TO VISIT FRIEND

DAWSON NEWS: Dawson has a noteworthy visitor in the person of
 Miss Linds Majken Nilsson, of Adel- aide, South Australia. She journeyed over the snowy winter trail from the Coast to the Klondike metropolis to visit her longtime comrade, Miss
 Emmel McHenry. The long winter trip is but, a preliminary for the |plucky, energetic and charming wound Australian, for she has pre- pared herself as volunteer nurse in the Red Cross, and will leave here the end of the week or the first of hext for a greater journey, which
 will take her to the great battle front in Europe. .... ,.
 Miss Nilsson spent several months training as a nurse in Victoria. and
 will go to England prepared for
 work at the front, and will meet all her own expense of the trip.
 Miss Nilsson is the first woman to
 come over the long stage route to
 :65 mile from Whitehorse to Dawson
 this winter and perhaps the first
 woman who made the winter jour |ney to Dawson for the simple pur- pose of few days visit with an old |companion. She IS buoyant, and full |of life, exceptionally we'll educated, a |splendid conversationalist and wide observer, and the journey has been Ia revelation to her.
 Certainly I should have hesitat- |ed," said Miss Nilsson today, "had l known the journey by stage was 50 long, and through such vast stretch of silent, unpeopled hills and wales, but now that am here, am delight ed with the trip. It certainly would be & great restorative to those nerve racked millionaires, and it is too bad that all those in need of new health cannot make it." e
