RAILROADS AND THE. PEOPLE.

IL is felt that in the past feeling to-
ward the railroads has been due to
lack OF information as to the facts, and
the carriers therefore have adopted the
policy Of candidly and frankly e1-
planning the situation to the public
The articles appearing in the columns
OF this paper will be official and may
be depended upon.
The railroad companies operating in
Oklahoma have contracted for d.
yertising space in number OF Okla
homs newspapers during the preent
year. This advertising swill be desig.
mated and paid for as a commodity use
full to both the people and the carriers.
The information to be set forth. will
be offered for the purpose of enabling
both the carriers and the people TO
receive the benefit OF candid dis
cussion OF the various problems in
volved in the common relations be-
tween the various communities and
the railroads in oklahoma.
Ii has become increasingly apparent
in Oklahoma and elsewhere in the
southwest during the last few years
that the period of controversy between
the public and the carriers was nearin G
its end, and that the farmers aud busi-
ness public generally are preparing to
meet the carrisrsifreely and openly in
3 sincere effort to.do business in a
busiuess-like way.
The arrival OF suchl condition in Ok
lshoms is gratifying to the railroads
which are confident: thar Cvery indi-
vidual in this stateIwill derive benefit
from better and more intimate
understanding ofswhst may be done for
tn improvement OF transportation
problems in Oklahoma, and OF how
each mile Of rsilroadL. may be made to
serve its patronsi in the:best and most
satisfactory manner.
It is the wish OF the railroads 20
serve the people of this State in an
efficient way. The carriers feel that
despite their many handicaps OF the
last few years, they have tried zealous-
ly and industriously 70 render the best
possible service. How many o ( the
obstacles, n d how great the dis
couragsment often have been, per
haps only the carriers themselves are
in position to know. Short crops, de-

ARMENIAN PROVERBS

Armenian proverbs are very shrewd
and all have flavor of their own. A
few OF them follow:
Be learned, but be taken for a fool.
The fox's last hole is the furrier's
shop.
The sermon of poor priest is not
heard.
Everyone places wood under his
own pot.
The day can dawn without the
cocks growing.
Dine with thy friend, but do no
business with him.
II you cannot become rich become
the neighbor OF a rich man.
What can the rose do in the sea
and the violet before the fire?
The mother who has a daughter al.
ways has a hand In her purse.
OF a grumbler; Everyone's grain
grows straight; mine grows crooked.
or an impatient man: He feeds.the
hen with one hand and with the other
he looks for her eggs.

Tremendous Demand for Freight Car riers Between Puget Sound and

It is rumored that the Alaska Steamship company has been offered liberal terms for a charter of the freighter Seward by company oper- ating between Puget Sound and the Orient and that the offer will prob ably be accepted.

MARSHAL CITY CAMP
 LOOKS GOOD NOW

Fairbanks Times: Mushing in from the lower river, Dennis Mulca- hey reports that conditions at Mar shal city, on the lower Yukon river, are better than at any time since the camp was first struck, almost two years ago. MT. Mulcahey came thru from Nome and Is on his way Outside to undergo medical treatment and did not have much time to investi- gate the camp himself but he was in- formed by 8 friend of his whom he met at Unalakleet, that there would be more money cleaned up there than when the water stated to run than ever before. Three outfits are report ed to be taking out good-sized dumps and are in the pay. Several others are operating on smaller scale. while about 20 men are prospecting.
 At Nome, business is rather quiet, the traveller reports. but the mining men think that next summer will be even be+.er than last season. The people of Nome are up in arms, as usual, over the poor mail service, but have been unable to induce the de- partment to do anything for them.

LOSSES
 WERE ENORMOUS
Petrograd Dispatches to London Times Reports Germans Driven
 Back from Defenses.

LONDON, Jan. 7.-The correspon- dent of the London Times with the Russian army in the north has sent dispatches to his paper announcing that the Russian offensive has driven the German troops from their defen- sive positions, with enormous losses. It is reported that the Germans. all though greatly outnumbered, repeat edly attempted to recover the lost po- sitions and were literally moved down at close range.
 The dispatches to the Times have been confirmed by official advices re- ceived by the British war office from Petrograd. The Russian war office also states that the Russian offensive in Galicia is being waged in order that the Teutons will be prevented from sending achievements from the south to the battle zone in the north.
