OOLAKANS RUNNING
 BUT NOT ELSEWHERE

Charley Christensen announced the fact this morning that the Oolakans have started running and thus he gains the honor of being the first har- bnger of spring. The little fish come with the first soft weather and lived up tc their reputation this time. 1t is a remarkable fact that they first began to run in 1914 on Christmas Day which was unusually early. The OoIakans give the very best indica- tion of the nature of the climate in their habitat and the fact that they do not run at Anchorage nndI July shows the relative nature of the weather conditions there and here. Another remarkable fact about the fish is that they do not appear at all to the westward. But the chief fact of all is that the residents of Porcu- pine City and other places are reap ing a harvest which will carry them over to the time the emergency fund comes handy.

 HORSES FOR FIVE YEARS

Special to Gateway by United Press)
 CHICAGO, Feb. 8.-The most tran quil war order market is located here. It is the horse ring at the Union Stock Yards. There is practically no competition. German agents have given up attempts to boost the prices of horses because of the British blockade.
 At present France and Italy are the only ones doing any buying. French agents purchase an average of about 400 horses a day. It is estimated that more than 2,OOO horses are pur- chased daily throughout the country by agents of the allies.
 Horses bought here are shipped to Crestline, H., 25 miles from here, where they are quartered until there are enough to make a trainlOad. Then they are shipped to Portland, Me, or Jersey City, N. Jo from whence they are shipped abroad
 According to dealers, there are  enough horses in the United States to supply the warning nations for the next five years without causing a scarcity. They say there are TOoO,- 900 horses in this country.
 The standard price for cavalry horses is $125 and for heavy artillery horses $16O. Every horse sold out of the horse ring is branded with a serial mark as a means of identif- cation.

 ONCE AGAIN
MAN WHO WAS ONCE BRITISH MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT
 CHARGED AS A SPY.

NEW YORK. Feb 2O-Iguatius Lincoln. who was arrested some time ago as a German spy and who later escaped, has been rearested.

Small Incomes
 May Be Taxed
Democratic Leaders Oppose Idea But
 Result is Doubtful.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.-The Democratic leaders of the House have come out in opposition to the taxing of small incomes.
