ROBERT w. SERVICE
 Is AT FRONT IN FRANCE

Robert w. Service who is known to many local people and whose poems cu Alaskan subjects are familiar to all, is at the front throw iay hcmbs against the Germans. He has been asked by a publish CT to write poems on the war. He writes, i've been at tue front for utarlv a year and have developed considerable proficiency as a bomb thrower. If I ever get back to Am erica the anarchists will be sure to want to hire me. Lately I have been driving ammunition auotmo- bile trucks and doing ambulance work which is not quite as nerve racking as is bomb throwing. But as that my nerves are becoming somewhat frazzled. l guess it must be the noise. I'll have to quit be- fore long and when I get back where it is Quieter, I'll see what I can do about writing something aboSt tn" war."-Anchorage News.

 As Cbilds and Bender had only bCou engaged in the business since September, the court figured that had they paid for license for the time they have been conducting their business, it would have amounted to S1OO, and so he added this 10 the minimum fine and i'm posed # on the two men who had pleaded guilty to having sold in- toxicating liquor without a license.
 The case of George Jennings will come uo for hearing this afternoon at o'clock.

FIFTY
 HORSES DAILY

Denver, Dec. - Hundreds of horses from all sections of the Rocky mountain region are pur- chased fc- European export at diff fprent stockyards daily and many o;her hundreds are rejected. Each animal must be mounted and ridden as part of the inspection and noted riders from many western states are employed in the work. We'll known "busters" who have won ,chamuicuships in the past now are riding as many as fifty horses a day.
 Instead of the open range or the paddock in view of cheering crowUs, they ride in a narrow roof ed enclosure with critical inspect or and one or two assistants the only spectators. Several mat dresses are fastened at either end of the enclosure to soften the fall of an occasional fear-blinded ant nal and his rider. Several rid CTS have been hurt and one recent ly was killed.
 The supply of "gun fodder" as the riders call the horses, seems LII ending. The standard of re- Uulrements has been lowered some what when receipts began falling oft aud horses are being accepted now that were rejected formerly. Ship ments continue to be heavy and weekly purchases often run into the thousands.

LEST CONGRESS- FORGETS.

According to dispatches from Washington, Juneau stands good show of getting more mon- ev from congress. Likewise. Cordoya, Sewarl, Anchorage and Fairbanks will be taken care of, but poor Ketehikan must again face the cold, cold world unaided. Such is the fortune of war some are favored while others get it in the necks. It may be that we have not asked, or if we did, we have failed to persist in our demand But whatever the reason. it's a cinch that we are not going to get anything.
 The trouble with Ketchikan is that there aren't enough democrats within it's limits to be reck- oned with; and when the Republican party was in power the country and our necessities were unknown; and there you are. That is why the Republican party failed to do much for Alaska. The leaders didn't know what we needed-and cared less. This has all been changed however. and the present administration knows both the country and our needs.
 If it wasn't for the fact that we don't like the present administrations policy, we would be al- most tempted to become democrat that we might press our claim for public building that would cover the whole of Profanity Hill" But as it is, we cannot do that very well, besides we fear we would have to come back within the folds of the G. o. P. four years hence, and that is too much trouble

DOYLE AND SPIRITISM.
(Kansas City Star.


 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in announcing his belief in sprtism says that the phenomena confirm the existence of life after death, the unhappy results of the existence of higher beings whom may cali angels and of ascending hierarchy us eliminating in heights which beyond sight apprehension with which may associate the idea all power or of God Also those phenomena confrmatory as to the existence of "Summerland heaven but assert that every human being finds his ultimate but not nee essariy final resting place therein
 All this would be most interesting if it were really so But if there observed phenomena to support Dr. Doye's beliefs, they have escaped public attention We familiar with the customary of socalled spiritisc phenomena. Tables dance Banjos are strummed by unseen hands Rappngs are heard in answer to ques tions Aunt Susy her presence She is happy she would not return to earth The bliss the future life simply ndescribable She doesn't attempt to des- cribe it. She is in the seventh stage she says and lets it go at that.
 Many estmable people convinced that these phen- omena actually occur Suppose they do What do they prove? Where does Dr. Doyle find in confirmation for the great hopes of the race?
 The big obstacle still remains In all the ages there never has from the spirit world single message of importance There never has come line above the in teectua vel of the most commonplace person Unless the spirit world is able furnish something that really makes difference the phenomena of spiritism will fail to make impression.
