French carols that have been sung
at the Christmas season since the

old melodies that were used by the
English waits as they moved from
house to house on Christmas morn
;ng.
The most famous Of these old caro,s

God rest We merry, gentlemel.
Let nothing you dislnay.
Remember Christ, the Saviour,
Was born CT christmas day;
To save us all from Satan's powec
When we were gone .astray.
One of the most pleasing is the old
French carol. the first stanZa of which
is as follows:
The first Noel the angels did say,
Was to certain poor shepherds in
the field as they lay;
In the field as they lay, lay keeping
their sheep,
On a cold winters night that was
50 deep.
Noel, Noel, Born IS he N:ny Of Israel.
Another is the we'll known song be-
ginning:
Oh little town of Bethlehem,
How still we See thee lie;
Above the deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by.
Yet in thy dark street sblneh
The everlasting light,
The hopes and fears CT al the years
Are met IL thee t0&l5lit

GETTING AUTOS IN SHAPE [
 FOR THE TRAIL

Grover and Billy Frame are now on their way from Fairbanks to Chi tina, where they have two automobiles and expect to get these cars ready for the travel just as soon as the trail is in shape for them to drive their cars.
 The Dodge car which Grover Frame bought of J. H. Groves is in Fair banks, and will be used as relay car. to be used as occasion demands it.
 The boys are walking to Chitina. If the trail seems to be in shape for it they will start to operate their cars as far as possible immediately. It is hardly possible that they can now run the machines distance of 100 miles or so from the interior terminal of the railroad, and if this is possible it will mean that they will start to work at once, increasing the distance they travel as the conditions permit

ANCHORAGE PEOPLE HOPEFUL
 OF FUTURE.

Jim Hagen, one of the best known miners in this section of Alaska, re turned to town after having come over the winter trail from Anchorage to Seward. He reports that the distance between Seward and Anchorage is one hundred and thirty miles, and that he made the trip in four days.
 Mir Hagen reports that Anchorage is a busy place, notwithstanding the fact that there is little doing in the way of railroad building. The real estate market in the new town is ac- tive and property is said to be chang ing ownership at figures which indi- cate that the residents of the town believe that Anchorage is on the map of Alaska to stay.
 The reported shortage of certain lines of staple goods has failed to ma terialize, and the market seemed to be plentifully supplied. with prices reasonable.-Valdez Prospector.

SERIOUS BRE AK
 WITH GERMANY IS FEARED

WASHINGTON, Feb. "A. - When Congress assembled today there was an agitation warning all Americans on beligerent ships to heed Germans declared intention of attacking all armed merchantmen overshadowing all other matters before that body. President Wilson is keeping in close touch with the smouldering sentiment which his supporters are apprehensive might suddenly blaze up to embarrass negotiations with Germany A desper- ate effort is being made to hold the administration forces in line and to keep the question from the floor of the Senate and the House. The situ- ation now looks favorable to the Pres ident's plans, as the Republicans gen. orally realize the wisdom of his course and oppose any action by Congress.

CAPITAL 1 ] OkS UPON NORTH
 WITH FAVOR

Alaskans returning home from visits to the States report that all indica- tions point to a great rush northward during the coming summer. The of ficials of the steamship companies say that thousands of enquiries are re ceived each week from all parts of planning to make the trip to Alaska with a view of making their future homes in the north. indications for an unusually heavy tourist travel dur ing the summer are very bright, and those who made the trip last year have been advertising the scenery of Alaska and the advantages of spend ing the summer. especially the hot months, in the north.
 The building of the government railroad is expected to cause a rush to Cook Inlet district such as has not been equalled since the days of the Nome stampede, and the steamship companies are making preparations to handle the big business.
 |. Alaskans who are in touch with af fairs in the eastern states say that the outlook of capital coming to the terri tory was never better than now, as Alaska is the most inviting region under the American flag in which to invest money in mining and other le- gitimate enterprises. Many prominent mining men who have been waiting for the Mexican situation to clear have at last decided that Alaska of fers equal advantages and better pro Itection than in the turbulent republic

 NEEDED

At a special meeting of the Cordova Chamber of Commerce, held last night, the following resolution was adopted:
 Whereas. the Third Judicial district of Alaska includes that section of the territory in which construction work on the government railroad is now in progress; and,
 Whereas, The United States district attorney for this district is allowed but two deputies to assist him in handling both field and office work; and,
 Whereas, It appears that this force is not sufficient to conduct investiga- tions and prosecution of violations of law reported from the more thickly populated sections of the district, not to mention the needs of the sparsely settled areas; and,
 Whereas, The rapid increase of pop ulatiOn along the route or the govern ment railroad has resulted in condi- tions greatly increasing the work of said United States district attorney and his deputies; therefore,
 Be It Resolved, That the attorney general be urged to take such action as maybe necessary to provide an ad- ditional deputy in the office of said United States district attorney. for this, the Third Judicial District of Alaska; and,
 Be It Further Resolver, That copies of this resolution be sent to other civic bodies in this district and to our delegate in Congress, James Wicker sham, and other members of Congress, and that they be urged to cooperate with the attorney-general to this end.

Cordova Wants Uncle Sam Tote Fair

The Chamber of Commerce held a
 special meeting last night, at which
 several matters of importance to Cor dova were considered and acted upon. The war department recently issued
 an order establishing an all-night cable service at Sitka, Juneau, Valdez and Fairbanks, but for some reason
 or other overlooked the fact that Cor dova is the most important conner cial station in the territory, with the possible exception of Juneau The cable office receipts here are larger than at Sitka, Valdez or Fairbanks, the towns that are to enjoy a twenty-four hour cable service. Then, again, Cor dova's population is constantly grow ing, and it's business increasing. Un- der the circumstances, the Chamber felt that this town was entitled to the same consideration as any other town in Alaska, and instructed its executive committee to draft a resolution to the proper officials. requesting that the all-night cable service be extended to

LANE TELLS 1T WORK GOVT.
 RAILROAD

In his article in the Geological Magazine, Secretary of the Interior Lane tells something of the railway line leading from Matanuska Junction to the Matanuska coal fields It fol- lows:
 From Matanuska Junction to the coal fields the line follows practically for the entire distance the drainage of the Matanuska river. This stream for a considerable part of the dis tance is banked by cliffs of gravel and sand, in places a hundred feet high or more. To attempt to cut into these banks, in many places, would invite slides of a similar na- ture to those creating serious diff .culty at Panama.
 ITO avoid this danger it is pro- posed to build up the embankment along the side of the river bed against the cliffs, diverting the course of the stream with wing dams. As the Mat anuska is largely fed by glaciers, it's flow is at a minimum in winter. and despite the short hours of daylight much of the work of grading could be accomplished with fewer obstacles and at lower cost in the winter than in the summer.
 Overland transportation of supplies and equipment, too, can be made more easily and cheaply in winter. The val leys and bottom lands of Alaska are generally swampy. In summer men and horses sink into the morass at each step, while the difficulties of travel through new country are en- hanced by the heavy herbaceous growth, which approximates tropical jungle undergrowth in density Under these conditions pack horses are prac~ tically the only means of carrying supplies, excepting along constructed trails. In winter. however, roads are easily broken in the snow, and trans portation of any kind becomes much simpler and cheaper matter.
 Reaching the Matanuska coal fields with railroad at as early date as possible will not only encourage quick development, but also will open up source of fuel for the use of the com mission in railroad operation, and in construction work along the northern part of the line. The Matanuska coal fields furnish a high grade of bitumin- ous coal, which has been found en- tirely satisfactory for naval use. The coal of the Nenana fields, on the other part of the railroad, is a high grade of Ignite, which is expected to fur nish cheap and excellent fuel for do mestic and industrial use in the in terior of the country, along the Tan ana and the Yukon.
 No attempt is being made to add to the cost of the road by elaborate or ornate structures. It is realized that the prime need is for a road that will as quickly as possible lay open the riches of Alaska for use and her lands to settlement"
