ALASKA LIKELY AS THEIR NEXT
 MOVE

People who are familiar with con ditions on the outside, particularly in Washington and the coast cities of that state, are of the opinion that the coming spring will see a great migra- tion of saloon men to Alaska. The reason is the closing of the saloons of that state and of the state of Idaho, it being stated that as early as last summer many of the saloon men of the city of Seattle were contemplating coming to Alaska to engage in busi- ness as soon as their favorite means of obtaining a livelihood was taken from them in Washington and Idaho
 It is understood that many of those who contemplate the change made fortunes here in the business in early days. Therefore, when the law tells them to move on, as it has done, 1t is the opinion of those who know that the saloon men will again come to Alaska, the last frontier.
 It is also stated that numbers of the saloon men are planning to go to other states and engage in busi- ness. Those who intend to come to Alaska have been watching develop

COROOVA'S TAX LEVY IS
 THE LOWEST

In the year 1915, from reports re- ceived from cities along the coast, 1t appears that the assessment will be at least million dollars larger this year, while the average levy will be almost 175 per cent. Fairbanks, as usual, kept it's levy at 1.5O per cent, but all other large towns in the terri tory, including Juneau, Nome, Valdez, Cordova, Seward and others raised to two per cent.
 A few of the smaller towns. such as Panama, Iditarod and Eagle did not make any assessment or levy. While some people in Fairbanks think that the levy is too high, the councilmen think they have done well to keep it at 150 per cent while other towns have made raises.-Fairbank Times.
 You are in error, neighbor, so far as the tax levy at Cordova Is concerned Last year 1t was six mills, and this year it is only five mills, which is a record that few towns in Alaska can boast of. It might be also mentioned that for two years there was no as sessment or levy made here.

seemed. The job in hand would be

not bother them anymore, since, as
they felt, Germany and her allies
could not do anything to please the
neutrals.

general headquarters in the field OF
the German army resembles closely
the management OF large business,
The officers are branch managers,
whom convention and necessity have
stuck into uniforms, and the private
soldiers take the place OF employees
about the office. For their stereo-
typed garb there is no better reason
than that combatants, according 10
military law, must indicate their
status by distinctive dress. Beyond
that a general headquarters is not
military institution in the popular con
ception of that term. 1t is purely an
administrative office constantly or
ganizing and reorganizing.
War on scale as the European
struggle has reached becomes, by the
huge demands it makes, by the pres
sure 1t exerts upon participating IN
dividuals, and by the recurrence Oh
the necessity for doing a certain
thing, business. Even the head OF
the group, the commander, the tacu-
clan and strategist, is again and again
confronted with the same demands OF
the military situation; there are times
when he must leave minor tactical
details to his staff officers, and all
phases of his work which recur too
often, and are, therefore, commonest,
he must leave in the hands OF sub
ordinates altogether. General head

gate of trained managers and work

enterprise, and which, by virtue OF Is
discipline among all concerned, would
be a dangerous competitor to a eivi

genius of the Austro-H ungarian-Ger
