been increasing steadily in this valley.
Last year the damage done by them reached into hun
dreds of thousands of dollars. This Is starting
with the hoppers than and if steps are not
taken destroy the pest the damage may run into the
millions of dollars.
The situation that is presented calls for the most
drastic steps The people of tie entire valley must be
modified to protect the crops i they not to suffer
grievousy.
Many of the farmers of the valley are already busy
but there others who doing nothing and probably
they will do nothing until they compelled to get busy
1t is within the power of the supervisors to compel
all land to do their part in abating this
pest and when they meet Monday this should be Of
the first steps taken.
There are well known methods for poisoning hoppers
and also for catching them. But nearly all the poison
available in Southern California has already been dis
tbued among the farmers and the great fight probably
will have to be made in other ways
There sections of the valley where the hoppers
already stripping everything green and if they go
unchecked throughout the the damage will be
appalling.
BY meeting the issue and compelling all land
to do their part the hoDpers can be brought IN
der subecton and those IN authority should take the
most vigorous steps in the matter

ALASKA COPPER 60.
 HAULING SUPPLIES
Will Do Extensive Deveiopment work During Season and May Build
 Railrcsd spmr to Min.

James E. Wilson, the freighter, was a passenger for Cordova on the Alemeda en route for Strelna where
 he is engaged in hauling 400 tons of
 supplies from the railroad station to the mine of the Alaska Copper Con- pany on Nugget Creek, a distance of
 about eighteen miles. .... The Alaska Copper Company owns the properties formerly, held by the Stewards, who promoted the Valdez & Yukon Railroad. The mine was To- cated by James Mccarthy, who lost
 his life while crossing the Tonsina
 River few years ago.
 It is planned by the Company to do extensive development work dur 1 ing the coming season, and if condi- tions warrant a spur track of railroad will be built to connect with the Cop 1per River &, Northwestern Railway
 at Strelna. The creek on which these properties are located was named after finding the famous copper mug ' get which is a solid mass of copper weighing approximately four tons. An effort will be made to ship this nugget out by Wilson's team little later in the sledding season.
 The work will be in charge of Carl
 F. Anderson, a young mining engi- neer, who is now at Strelna superin- tending the transportation of the supplies.

 Wilson Bros. who are among the largest lumber manufacturers of the Pacific coast states, have engaged a crew and will run their mills day and might in order to meet the require ments of heavy order which they received from foreign government. The price of lumber has advanced since the beginning of the European war and the renewed industrial ac- |tivities in the middle of and eastern states and more men are being en- ployed by the lumber companies now than at any time during the past ten years.

 Senator Willard stated that is had been agreed upon by four of the larg- est stockholders that their shares
 would not be placed :on the market before ninety days. This is being done in. order that smaller stock holders can have no complaint that any undue advantage was taken by those in control of the company's af- fairs. f := i k. Most of the shares of the Granite company held by Valdez people were purchased when the company was first promoted, with shares at 25c, and the holders of stock now have an opportunity of selling and realizing one hundred per cent on their invest ment; or holding their stock and talk ing .chances!on the exchanges of New York and Spokane.

FAIRBANKS HAS FRACTIONAL FIGHT
Two Prominent Men Have Been Ar- rested for Assault and 20 Others
 Are Being Investigated.

The biggest factional fight in the history of the camp is now disturbing Fairbanks, and as the grand jury is now in session some sensational de- velopments are taking place. Dan Callahan, who was a member of the city Council for several terms and a candidate for senator last election,
 has been indicted on the charge of assault on Grace Carey, half breed girl, fourteen years of age. The crime is alleged to have been com mitted in June. The girl Is under the age of consent, and as Judge Bum nell is i'll in the hospital Callahan is in jail,. ..... w.. H. Woolridge, 8 gardener, was also arrested on the same charge on complaint of Laura Herrington, a half-breed, thirteen years of age. The crime Is alleged to have been com ,mitted in September, 1914. and again on February g, this year.
 Another secret indictment has been returned. and nineteen men are said to, be under Investigation by. the grand jury. on similar charges with the same girls. The whole affair has istirred up the town and bitter light Is expected to develop as the defense claim that District Attorney Roth and
 Marshal Erwin are trying to railroad them, owing to the fact that they are politically opposed to the ofliciala. .
 The fight hes extended to the news papers and charges have been. made | by the Alaska Citizen of malfeasance in office against Erwin. He Is charg- ed with having spent 8 month on the trail between Ghitina and, Fairbanks while he was taking In stock and mer- chandise to sell to the people.

Schiller Held; Fears Only
Deportation to Britain

Schiller appeared before Magistrate
Koenig yesterday in the Jefferson Mar
ket court for arraignment on a charge
Of having conspired on or about March
II to destroy with dynamite the Cunard
liner Pannonia, berthed at Pier 54,
North River. He was held Tor eX-
animation to-day.
When arraigned, Schiller, who SAID
his real name was Clarence Reginald
Hodson, declared that he would be CON
tent with any disposition the authorl-
ties might care 10 make Of hlm II ne
were spared deportation TO England.
He feared he would be executed for
having captured British steamship
and endangered the lives Of the crew.
Schiller said that when the war broke
out he enlisted in the British army, but
that life in the training camp was IN
endurable because of his pro-German
utterances. II was learned he had
worked az machinist in the Fletcher
shipyards in Hoboken and had made
repairs on the MatOppo while she was
in port. This gave him his oppor-
tunity 70 stow away on board the YES
sci.
Police said last night they had been
watching Schiller for three weeks and
had lost track Of him when they
learned Of the Matoppo incident in
Delaware. Federal agents contend that
this city has no jurisdiction over
Schiller, and that he should be de-
tanned in Delaware, where he was sur
rendered TO the United States suthori-
ties

Salem Knows Schiller
as Polite Englishman

Lawrence, Mass, April 1.-The case
Of Ernest ?. Schiller has aroused an
unusual amount of interest in Law
renee, where he was well known. At
Salem, where he lived for a longer
period, with Napoleon Levesque, at II
Harbor Street, feeling is especially
high.
Schiller, or Clarence Robinson, as he
was known here, said he came from
England, where he had been a soldier
lie seemed TO be about twenty-five
years of age, was an agreeable con-
versatiOnalist, speaking with a decided
English accent, and often boosted that
he was the master of seven languages.
He Was of sociable instincts, played
the piano WELL was an excellent singer
and had remarkable fondness for
feminine society, easily demonstrated
by the fact that he was very seldom,
If ever, seen without a young woman
companion and hardly ever with the
same one twice.
After the steamship Appam was cap
tured, Schiller declared to Cornelius +.
Harrington, Chief Police Marshal OF
Salem, that he would "show them some
thing which would make the Appam
case look like a joke" He says that
Schiller tried to purchase revolvers
in Salem.
Another peculiar feature in the
mans behavior, he says, was that he
always showed gold, never bills, in
