The walls Of the trenches are
strengthened with hurdles to prevent
landslides. The bottom Of the trenches
are carefully beaten down. leveled and

earthen roofs are made stronger by

Alaslans, probably like other pio-

to perils and hardships Of various
kinds that many deeds of reckless
hardihood pass practically unnoticed

much acclaim. A case In point was
the act Of Miss Ella Fleming last Feb
Tuary In risking her life upon the
treach srous seas of Prince William
Sound while searching sor her father
w. H. Fleming. the owner OF Fleming
Island, and her sweetheart. Harry
Jones, the latter well known among
western college men as former star
OF the Washington university footballs
team. Fleming, accompanied By
Jones, left Fleming Island in a power

Whitehead. owner of big fox ranch
on Knights Island. Tie engine broke
down and high wind carried away

only tool was jack knife. Nails.
which were driven with stones, were
secured by burning them from the

With this boat they reached Green

In the meantime Miss Fleming be-

One hundred years ago the worlds
output of copper was only about $500
ions per annum. Today the United
States alone produces over 100000
tons each year. One hundred years
ago the world rofuced between two
and three million tons of iron per an

of coal per annum. The United States
now produces about 550,00O,000 tons

GAP BROUGHT HIM hicHts
Peculiar Experience Of German In Rus
sian Capital Which Led to Capture
OF PIokpockets.

Some time before the outbreak q
the war German organist, who went
to st. Petersburg, as the capital OF
Russia was then called. to live, had an
experience with new cap that for .
time almost made him believe IN the
magic of the Teutonic fairy tales.
The organist bought the cap during
his first day at the Russian capital
and wore it the next day when he went
out for a walk. On his return to his
lodgings he was amazed to find two
gold purses IN his pocket, one OF
which contained SUM equivalent to
$50.
The next day, after his usual walk.
he found four purses In his outside
pocket, find that caused him to doubt
his senses. A third day. with SINH
lar profitable result. sent him to the
chief of police to tell his story.
The authorities detailed q detective
to go with the Germsa to the tailor
who made :l.o zap. Investigation dis
closed the fact that it had been con.
structed of an old piece of English
cloth brought In by q stranger. From
ii the tailor had made fifteen identi'
cal caps to order. Having bit left,
he had constructed sixteenth cap
which was the one sold to the organ
list.
The detective then followed the or.
ganist through the streets of the city.
when the mystery was solved. The cap.
it appears. was the emblem OF a gang
of pickpockets working comparatively.
The one who secured a purse dropped
it into the pocket of the first confed-
crate he saw. The cap had identified
the German and he had reaped the re-
ward. With this clue, it was an easy
matter for the Russian authorities t.
eatch the whole gang.
