and spent few days here. Mir. Vinal, who was 8 candidate for the legislature on the Wickersham ticket at the recent cleo ton, finds consolation in the fact that he was defeated, because business affairs have developed which probably would have made 1t possible for him to serve in case of his election only at great personal sacrifice. Mir Ninal has the utmost faith in the future development of that section of Alaska in which he dispenses justice, and believes that both the Ophir and Tolstoi districts have a great future before them.

John Huckfpldt, the Happy creek miner, was a visitor in town last Tuesday and Wednesday,
 Joe Konechney one of the old reliable standby of Donlin creek, was in the city during the early part of the week, attend ing to business matters.
 J. E. Riley left for the Outside last Sat urday, going via Tolstoi and the Seward trail
 Bob McMllan, the Otter creek operator, was a visitor in the city on Saturday and Sunday last,
 Charles Castleman and Ed Prue were among those who left for the Kuskokwlm last Tuesday. They will rest and recuperate at the hot springs for some time, and prob ably spend the balance of the winter in prospecting.
 The past week was an unlucky one for employees of the Yukon Gold Company. First John Novak had the end of his finger hammered of by the drill and then Oscar Gardner was thrown from his wagon and one of the horses evidently walked on his face. Both are getting along nicely, how ever.
 Fred Deming recently moved to Happy creek, where he will do some work during the winter,
 Ivan Wales and Grant Murdock, who have been doing some great hustling in be half of the Pioneers New Year masquerade, were in town during the week.
 Mike Lucey was one of the oldtimers who were in the city for the Pioneers meet ing
 Jack Smeaton of Donlin creek, who has been in Flat for several days, left for home during the week.
 Al Walsh left on Monday last for Ophir and the Tolstoi
 John Auld was visitor in the city for the Pioneers meeting.
 Charley Worden left for Willow creek yesterday, where he will toll during the holl- day season. Earl Hunt, who has been visiting in the city for some time, left last Sunday to again take up his work at Tolstol.

They reached Kolmakoff in an almost exhausted condition, and after remaining there few lays to recuperate they resumed their jour ney to Iditarod The recent winds had completely obliterated the trail, and they were compelled to snowshoe the entire dis tance. During the storm of last Saturday night they were obliged to "slwash" on Bonanza creek They suffered no serious consequences from their battle with the storm however and will return within & few days.
 It is noteworthy of all these arrivals from the Kuskokwim that they speak in glowing terms of the future activity of that section and while development has been slow, much is expected when things begin to move.

Tho obvious economy of burning daylight instead of artificial light in the conduct of human affairs Is again attracting world wide attention through the action of several Euro pem nations in adopting daylight sayng measures by the simple eXpedt- ent Of turning the clock an homr ahead. Auslro-ilungaA was the first to adopt the daylight saving scheme Us an economical measure neeessitat- ed by the war and has since been fol- lowed by several others, including Holland and Sweden, both of which have come 10 an active recognition of the advantages to he obtained un- der the system.
 The subject is also being strongly agilatod m Great Britain with an eX- eellent prospect that it will be for mally presented to parliament for dis cussion.
 The daylight saving scheme Is not a new one by any means having been discussed at intervals for centuries. During the last century the plan was frequently agitated by enthusiasts and in d few instances adopted by municipal corporations. At one time, many years ago. the subject of day hght saving was discussed in the British house of commons and d bill enforcing national daylight saving wds passed through the preliminary pro ecsses of legislation but failed of final adoption for some unexplained reason.
 Except possibly, in the several in stances of recent adoption. the scheme of utiliing the daylight hours as much as possible has not been pronounc- cd success anywhere il has been tried. The failure is not attributable to any fault or failure of the plan but was rather due To the fact that it was tried only locally and very naturally resulted in the development of vari-

ous difficulties owing to time varia tions, all of which tended to make the system unpopular.
 With one community conducting it's affairs under a different time standard from that of it's neighbors the sys- tenn was bound to he more or less impractical as towns aud cities are usually too closely connected in busi- ness and social relations for time Na- nations not to make themselves dis tinctly felt.
 To be really successfully the system so that all within the district will be bound by one time schedule. To reach Us highest measure of success and achieves the full economical benefits it must be adopted nationally.
 Il Is even to be doubted that it's adoption by states in this country would be practical. An collective as well as individual benefit would ua- doubtedly result within the borders of the state but conditions attending communication with other states which had not adopted the plan would tend 70 nullify the advantages gained.
 There Is now. however, d growing tendency throughout the world toward individual and corporate economy which Is steadily forcing toward an adoption ot the system by the nat tion and the movement has been giy- en an adl l impetus through its en- foreement by the several European nations. Everywhere there are cvi- dcnces that the enforcement of the daylight saving plan IS being watched with great interest and is daily be coming looked upon with wider favor, SD much so that it's ultimate adoption by many others IS practically assured.
 A fuller utilization of the daylight hours cannot but have d marked ef- feet on the general economy of the nation. one hour of daylight added 10 the day will save many dollar to the individual and the nation during the course of a year in addition to producing conditions of inestimable benefit to the physical being of indi- vidual units. One cannot forget the scientific dictum that the hours de- voted to sleep before midnight are of vastly greater benefit than those fol- lowing:
 If no other results were achieved than general increase of the physi- cal well being of the people the plan would be well worth adoption. espe- eially as il creates no hardship of any character to offset the benefits. 1t does not discommode the individual in
