RlSKED ALMOST CERTR,N DEATH TO SAVE POSITION French Hero4Hid In Treo and si@nalsd

 When the war broke out Marcel was T striplinG. slender as q girl, with beardgess face, eyes large and black andNhands as white as q woman's.

NLASKA'S FUEL NEED

Central Alaska is just now look iug toward the construction of the uew government railway with an aaggcu-ss that is fully justified, be- cause it means an abundant supply Of rhgaD fuel, whicr is Alaska s first ar3 most iusistent Leed. The imported coal has been exceedingly expensive, too expensive for mine wurAt.g. The various communities have uiObled at the local wood sup ply until the forest have receded many miles, and it has become in creaHugly difficult to provide nece2- site y..h present conyeniences.
 Just now wood famine is feared for next winter. Lack of snow the coming fall would make wood inac- cessibIc and induce a fuel famine, according to the view of the Fair bauHs Times. In the old days it was possible to make a quick trip 10 the forests and procure ample fuel. Now the woods are days journey away for a team, and with our ample snow the journey is diff ucult. Iii
 The Neuana coal fields, 100 miles from Fairbanks. should supply coal at not more than $5 per ton, once the railroad is built Wood sells for approximately S15 per cord. The government, recognizing the emergency, is Eow locating con strucuon crews and graders at Ne mana fer the purpose of pushing the railroad work both north and south of that point.
 To Fairbanks and other Central Alaska points cheap fuel will have a yitaliz'ug effect. Not only Will a very great household expense be saved, but the production of gold will be greatly increased and tmmi grafton to the territory will be encouraged .

ALASKA TRADE

The importance of the Alaska business to Seattle is emphasized in the commercial reports for the mouth O April, which show an eH- port business from Seattle amount ing to s3,S53,II5. a 50 per cent in cre1se over the record of the same month 8 year ago. Exports for April. 1915, tOtaled $2,45S,161. More ,lan $I.OOO,OO0 worth of the exports consisted Of materials and machinery for the salmon canneries. For the government railway $22,- gOg worth of flat cars were sent north. During the month 125,0O0 dozen eggs and 1l3,OOO pounds of butter were shipped from Seattle to the territory.
 Seattle had average sailings of two ships a day to Alaska during lust month, and the Sailings this month will exceed that average, Pas seuggr traffic has also increased greatly. Every Alaska boat leaving her. during the last six weeks has carried a capacity load of passen- gers. While many of these were cauuergmen and Alaska citizens who srent lle winter on the outside, there Ias been a substantial move meut Of travellers who are making ,a5cl first trip and who intend to maEe their permanent homes in the north. .t.A.
 Tle present year is to make a uew record for Seatue-Aaska trade. A gr=gt period of development is now but fairly commencing, and each recurring season should mark a great advance in the bulk of business transaCted.-P. I.

METHOD OF VOTING

MesSrs, Clemeneer, Foreman and Liddicuat, the enumerators appoint cd to count the wet and dry votes on June 1st, of this year will be instructed by E. A. Rasmuson, our commissioner, that they shall pro vide themselves with books, alpha beticaIly indexed and therein will insert, the name, residence and oc- cupat!on of every white male and fe male citizen and resident over the age of 21, residing in Skagway or within a radius of two miles of the corporate limits.
 The word "WEite" means white as distinguiss from Indians; the name of all persons of African de sceut nr who are otherwise qualified shoLid be taken down.
 Resident means those persons who claim Skagway as their resi- dence. A person may be a resident of Skasway, although he has been here only one day-the test is whether he considers it his resi- dence, as his home, or whether he is merely a sojourner, claiming or intending to claim some other place as his home.
 A married woman, even though under the age of 21, is considered in law to be of legal age. The en- umeratcrs are instructed to take the names of all married women.
 A married woman takes the na- tiouaIity of her husband.
 Having taken the enumeration of the qualified voters the commission CT will then name a place to hold the election, after due notice the elscticn will be held. Those whose names appear on the book are Qual- flied to vote, however a person may swear at the polls that he is quail fled and cast his ballot. Such bal lot is scaled in an envelope and not opened unless by order of the court,
 These who wish liquor to be sold in skagway from JulyTst to July Is, 1917 in Skagway will write wet cn their ballot and those Op- posed will write dry on their ballot.
 When the voting is finished the count will be held. After the court is fIuisted the commissioner will forward to the clerk of the court The census books and all envelope votes.
 The law requires that the per son desiring the license shall show to the satisfaction of the court that majority of the qualfed persons (not voters) have in good faith consented. Liquor dealers must show the court that it is their re- quest end without this showing the court IS powerless to grant licenses.
