SACRAMENTO: That there is a strong affinity between bachelors and divorcees is shown by report just is- sued by Chief George D. Leslie, of the state bureau of vital satisfies.
 Although the great bulk of mar riages take place between single men and single women, the most striking gains are shown by person of former matrimonial experience, particularly those for whom the previous mar riage was ended by divorce rather than by death.
 The weddings between bachelors and divorcees totaled 2,156 in 1914, Tor 6.7 DOT cent of all marriages. while unions between bachelors and widows were only 1914 or 6.1 per cent. Moreover. the tendency for bachelors.to marry divorcees seems to be ine)5aasfng continuously. Thus the per cSHts of total marriages which were uni6ns between bachelors and divorcees rose successively in the whole eight years from 1907 to 1914 as follows: 4.6. 4.9, 5.2, 5.s, 5.s. 6.1, I6.2 and 6.7 per cent. l Marriages also take place between

FAIRBANKS: U. S., Marshal l.. T. Erwin writes the Fairbanks Times from Washington as follows: "The secretary of the interior au-
 thorizes the statement that he and President Wilson are positively de termined that the railroad shall be built to Fairbanks.
 Regarding the Fairbanks bridge, Colonel Richardson, chairman of the Alaska road commission, tells me that the money is now available for the construction of a temporary bridge, extending across the Cinema river from the foot of Cushman street, in
 the spring free of charge to the city of Fairbanks. Using this bridge as la working basis the falsework will be put in for a permanent steel bridge
 which will be constructed under the direction of the engineer officer of the commission as rapidly as weather conditions permit. The government analyses that have been taken of the Ignite coal taken
 from the Nenana ledges show that il lis low in ash and high in heating qualities, and suited to any com lmercial use. It is considered to be
 superior to that taken from the gov
 ernment mine at Williston, N. D.,
 and far above the average of Ignite
