From all Appearances the officers Of
the Fair association did not read or un-
derstaDd my comment on the fair.
said that only about third OF the
premiums were paid to the farmers, not
one-third Of the premiums awarded but
one-third of the money collected and ex-
pended for fair purposes. In other words,
there was $500 paid out for $500 fair.
The fair can be held for 56o0 and one
half of that amount ought to be paid for
exhibits. / hope that this will end the
controversy ABOUT the fair and that all
premiums awarded by the judges will be
paid in full.

ALASKA sHARPsHooTERs COULD CLEAN THOSE
 MEXICAN BANDITS

"One thousand sharpshooters can be recruited in Alaska for service in Mexico. It Is in my judgment that Q body of Northerners of this size could whip Villa and his bandits at their own game-guerilla warfare"
 This statement was made last night by Gov. J. F. A. strong of Alaska, who arrived in Seattle yesterday morn ing from Juneau. says the Seattle Times in recent issue. Governor Strong. who has-often had occasion to use the business end of Q rifle, is an earnest advocate of prepared ness, and is now on his way to Wash. ington, where he will discuss with administrative officials the formation of a militia company in the North. On his recommendation a bill, with thls end in view, has been introduced in Congress.
 "The class of men have in view" he said, "are used to hardship; they are courageous and seli-relianti they have abundant endurance and initia- tive. They arc tho men who. year in and year out. go into the wilder ness with only @ rifle, Q little salt and few pounds of flour and live off the country.
 "Men Of this type are the kind of soldiers that the United States needs in the expedition in which this coun- try is now engaged. They would acquit themselves just as creditably as did the Australians at Gallipolli
 Men of Pioneer Type
 These Northern prospectors and frontiersmen are the salt Of the earth. They are not. to be sure, a silk-stock- inged brigade, but courage and forti- tude abide everlastingly in their hearts. They accept privation and hardship as part of the days work. They are untirlng in their energy, their endurance is boundless. These are the type of men who conquered the Great West-the restless, deter mined spirits who are always fin the vanguard of coming civilization.
 "A call to arms would bring them from the hills by hundreds. Some of them are trained soldiers who serv- ed in the Philippines and Cuban cam paigns. They can all shoot and live in inhospitable environments where city-bred men would starve to death. Perhaps they would not make good men to send Into a warfare such az is being conducted in Europe. but in campaign like that in Mexico they would be invaluable"
 Governor Strong said there is q great deal of enthusiasm for the cre- ation of a National Guard in Alaska but no action towards It's formation can be taken until the necessary law has been passed by Congress. He has recently been in communication with the war department and with James Wickersbam. Alaskan delegate in Con- gross. and will urge 1t personally when he reaches Washington.

A place of horror which one would think Dante had imagined. The air Is heavy-stlning; two or three little night lamps. which look as if they were afraid of giving too much light. hardly pierce the hot. smoky. darkness which. smells of fever and sweat. Busy people are whispering anxious ly. But you hear. more than all, az ouized gaspings. These gaspings es- cape from number of beds drawn up close together on which are dis tnguished human forms. above all. chests. chests that are heaving too strongly. too rapidly, and that raise the sheets as if the hour of death rat tie had already come.
 fIt is ono of our hospitals on the battle line. improvised as well as was possible on the morrow or one of the most internal Of German abomina- tions. au these children Of France. who look as F they are at the last gasp. were SO terribly injured that it was impossible to carry them further away. This great hall, with its old crumbiing walls. was yesterday a big storehouse of hogsheads of champagne, these little beds-some fifty in num- ber-were put together in feyerish haste. made Of branches that stin keep their bark. and look like rustic garden furniture
 But why this heat. which the stoves send forth and which markes breath ing almost impossible? The reason Is that it cannot be too hot for as- phyxiated lungs. And this darkness, why this darkness which gives an air of the Inferno to this place Of martyrdom. and which must so hin- der the gentle. white-clad nurses? It is because the barbarians are there in their burrows. quite close to the village. whose houses and church tow CT they have more thau once amused themselves pounding with their shells. and F. with their ever watchfui field glasses. they saw In this sad. Novem- Der twilight the lights appearing in the windows Of a long hall, they would instantly scene a field hospital and shells would rain on the humble sick beds: we have learned how they love to sprinkle grape-shot on hospit- als. Red Cross conveys. churches.
 So that one can hardly see here through a sort Of mist. spread by wa ter boiling in heaters. Every mo- ment nurses bring huge. black air bal looms. and those who are struggling in agony stretch out their poor hands to beg for them, it is oxygen which makes them breathe better and suffer less. Many of them have these black air balloons resting on their panting chests. and in their mouths they very greedly hold the tubes through which the saving gas escapes; you would say that they were great children with milk bottles; th.s throws Q sort of grotesque buffoonery over these scenes of horror
 Asphyxiation has different effects on different constitutions which re- ouire different forms Of treatment.
