ALL ROADS LEAD TO
 HOTEL ROOM OF WELL
 KNOWN ALASKA "pR."

Mystery, deep, dark and profound, which has pervaded the Frye hotel for several days past. has been cleared up and like all mysteries It's solution was sImple-after 1t had been solved. says a recent issue of the Seattle Times.
 Several days ago a prominent phys. ician from Valdez registered. He had not been in his room half an hour when Q steamship man whose name is known from Harbor Island to Smith Cove showed up.
 Is the doctor in?" he inquired of the young lady at the telephone board. The doctor was in. Would he please go right up to the doctors room.
 Come on, fellows. guess it's all right" said caller to group of oth- CT Northerners.' who accompanied him. Manager Watt watched them to the elevator. Their faces wreath ed in smiles they returned to the ele gator.
 Thirty minutes later delegation rom the Arctic Club showed up.
 "Is the doctor in?" the leader asked The doctor was in. Would they SC ID to his room? They would
 Three minutes later, another very prominent steamship man arrived Is the doctor in?" he asked. The doc tor was in. Would he so up to the loctor's room? He would.
 Pretty soon an Alaskan mining man showed up again. He went through the usual formula and then took the elevator. Ten minutes later the steamship man who was the first visi tor appeared with a new gang.
 Say, where are all you fellows go lng7" asked Watt. "They must be wearing out the carpet on the sixth floor"
 Delegation after delegation came and went all day long. Finally Watt could stand 1t no longer. He would talk to the doctor himself.
 "Gettin' pretty popular" he hinted, as the medico came down to dinner.
 "Yes." was the reply. "A lot of the boys have dropped in to call on me. Most of em want to talk politics.
 After dinner the crowds came thick and fast. The stream of callers con- tinued until the doctor left for New York. Then Watt went to make an examination. He wanted to see if 1t would be necessary to put down Q new carpet to replace the one that had been worn by the tramping of many feet between the elevator and the doctors room.
 It was then that he solved the mys- tery. The doctor Is a believer in pre- paredness. Four bottles were on the Hoor, and they had been drained of their last drop.
 "coises" said Watt bitterly.

NEWPORT. Ky. Jan. 22.-Here is ! great adventures:
 1t is to hear music when one hasn't leard sound in a lifetime of twen- .y-seven years.
 To Mrs. Hiida Runkel of this place 1t was though angels had spoken.
 Until @ week ago Mrs. Runkel nei her heard sound nor spoke a word Ind she is twenty-seven.
 One day last week she was visit .ng her downstairs neighbor-the Cat Has. John catilla had fashioned a homemade violin out of a cigar box. 1t was fairly good violin at that t is good enough to produce My Old Kentucky Home" And that was what Cattila was playing at the mo- ment of the miracle.
 Mrs. Runkel was seated. But sud lenly she arose. In her eyes was a ook of one to whom had been given great revelation. She lifted her hand to her right ear and then she pointed to the violin, and then again 70 her ear. And thus she made it known that she had heard.
 Each day since her hearing has im- oroved. She is now learning to make the sounds she hears. In seven days she mastered fifty-two words. Mrs. CoAUro fo hor foochor

 The words came painfully like those of baby learning to talk.

opinion on the subject.
 While the general staff Is firmly welded to the keeping of large force of troops on Oahu. Hawaiian islands, many army officers feel that 1t is a serious mistake, on account of the conditions which exist there, which would. with our comparatively weak naval force. in the Pacific, per init these men to be cut off complete ly from the mainland and also from all supplies. both munitions of war and food. should they be attacked by first class power. Some go so far as to say that the capture of this Isl and of Oahu. on which Honolulu and the Pearl Harbor naval station are To- cated, would be but matter of couple of weeks in case of such attack and that this would. at Q single blow. deprive the United States of one-fourth of her trained fighting men.
 Recognize Fact
 Of course 1t is recognized that Ha- waii is considered In both army and naval circles as the outpost guard of the United States against aggression from the Orient. While Q European power might attack Oahu. It's first energies would be directed toward the Atlantic coast where practically all the intuition works of this country are located and all of them within striking distance of an expeditionary force that could be landed in hundreds of smaller harbors. provided that 1t was accompanied by strong enough naval force.
 The army officers who are opposed to the large force at present main tained in Hawaii call attention to the fact that in such case the United States would be absolutely without the effective service of the 10000 troops now stationed at Oahu; that 1t would take at least a month to bring them to the Atlantic coast, even if it could be done at all. and that, as Q matter of fact. 1t would be impossi ble. as it would leave the Pacific coast practically without defense.
 Would Serve as an Enemy Base
 The same officers call attention to the fact that in case of attack from the Orient. even with greatly improv, cd defenses. Hawaii would be of little use to the United States. In the first fire. nloca tho island of Oahu would be practically isolated from the start an enemy being able to obtain first class base only two hundred miles away. at Hno, the second town of thu, islands, where a harbor recently made secure as an anchorage for vessels of the largest tonnage, has been com oleted through the construction of a breakwater. It is further pointed out that with such base a hostile power would be able to raid the great c.tie' of the Pacific Coast practically with out opposition until the battleship fleet could be brought through tho Panama c nal
 Tn such a case. even more notice ably than in an attack on the Allan tic coast. our regular army. consist ing of approxlmately 9O0o0 men would be reduced to 10000 withou' having taken part in single strrs gle. Ia addition to this the chem would have gained footing in the isl ands. from which 1t could not be re moved unless American naval force swept the Pacific clear of foreign bat

WAR sIDELIeHrs.

An Associaed Press Athens cores pondent says that Lord Kitchener on his recent visit to that city told the following story:
 "When the maneuvers of the great fleet were held about a month ago in the North Sea. eight German submar- rlnes of the newest and strongest type, were sent out with the purpose of getting to the fleet and playing havoc with the maneuvers. One came to grief in the North Sea net
 "The others nosed through and ap preached the fleet. But there was an other net heading them off. They tried to break through, to get around. to find an opening. But there was none. Two more were lost in this effort. Finally the remainder decid ed to return to their base at Heligo land.
 But they could no longer find the way out. The gate in the net had beer closed. Two were lost desperately irving to get through. The remaining .hree were finally forced to come tc hes urface and surrender themselves We took them intact - crews, sub marines and all"
 The Geneva correspondent of The Temps says:
 "Germany has intervened in Geneva placing several million marks at the disposition of an agent to cause a rise n the exchange by purchases of bills"
 Great interest has been caused by wo wireless messages which were ip, ,ercepted. The first was addressed 70 the Commerz and Dlskon bank, in Berlin and was dated New York, Jan 7 It read:

Stll another matter that compl cates the situation Is that nearly one, half of the population of Hawaii be long to the only nation of the Orient with which we might expect trouble iu the next score Of years-Japan. lr addition to this 1t is estimated that at least half of the 9O,OOO Japanese in Hawaii have seen active military service. either in the Chinese-Japan ese War or In that with Russia. While it is certain that these men are at the present time without arms or ammuni ton. save lu small quantities, they would constitute a menace which sure would give Uncle Sam's military fore cs in Hawaii considerable difficulty
 The final objection to the military occupation of Hawaii, at least in It's present form, comes in the fact that the islands are by no means able to withstand @ siege of any great length, as thcy would be unable to produce ammunition of any kind and are not even sclf-uspporting as regards food. This is especially true of Oahu. Sugar and pineapples are raised there in abunLance. but an army would find little substenance ir them. At the pres mt time the beef for the troops at Honolulu comes from Australia, and lt could be easily cut off by an enemy. Almost the entire supply Of Hatwaii;.n beef IS raised on the island of Hawaii. where Hilo, the probab:- locatli of a hostile base, is located and would thus be available for the use of the enemy.

New Governor Either Has Not

HOPES TO SEE CIVIL

A great wave of silence descended
on Bismarck from Hoople yesterday,
when the Hon. Lynn J. Frazier, gov
ernor-elect of North Dakota, quietly
drifted into the Capital City. The
new governor was known prior to his
election as reserved man of few
words. Since his election, he has
gone on a conversation strike, and it
is an able linguist, indeed, who sue
ceeds in extracting from the chief ex
ecutive-to-be more than a few mono
syllables.

There is no question that the incom.
ing governor is being besieged, no
matter where he may go, by patri-
OTIS willing to lay down their present
jobs and take berth in the state
employ. During the few minutes he
spent in the Grand Pacific lobby this
morning after breakfast, he was ap.
preached by a halfdozen present
state employees and as many more
who would like to get on the payroll.
Some of the governors best friends
are engaged in picking for him his
private secretary, now Importantly en-
gagged in another State department ut
the capitol; in selecting his stenog-
rapher and other minor appointees;
in telling him who. should be this
and that, and how his future will alb
