 "He got me first" the officer said. "You see where he punctured my left hand. had lost my revolver long before but picked up German rifle and bayonet. You would have laugh ed to have seen the duel. It was like naval and military tournament show-sword versus bayonet.

MINIMUM PRICES ID
 BE FIXED ON LOTS

The lots on the government tract will not be sold for any old price. Each will be appraised and Andrew Christensen of the land department stated this morning that no lots will be sold at a price less than this ap- praisement shows it to be worth Some people had an idea that fots would be sold for almost anything of fered over twenty-five dollars. Mir. Christensen returned from the inter, for last evening on the Farragut which he caught at Cordova after making a record trip of 4G hours from Fairbanks to Chitina on Bob Sheldon's car. He is more than pleas ed with the results of the sale at Nenana and he sees no reason why the sale here should not be very success full also. The sale will take place as scheduled next Monday If the day is fine it will be held in the open out side the railroad headquarters build ing but if the weather is bad it will be held in the large room on the ground floor where the Civic Fair is being held today and tomorrow. The in tention of Mir. Christensen is to sell lots in different parts of the tract if their is apparent no likelihood that all will be taken up. A few will be soId on Broadway, a few on Tihrd avenue and on Second avenue and few in the Cliff addition.
 There is no way of getting g line on the probable prices that the lots will bring except to remember that lots out near that tract, or at least one lot, on Third St. brought something like $500 or S4OO at the Ballaine sale. Mir. Christensen was asked if he thought the sale of many of the lots out there would result in the estab- lishment of another city with stores, etc., but he had no opinion to express on the matter except that he believes the sale of the lots will be of benefit to the people resident in Seward.

ALLIES LOST A MILLION
Vanclng troops.

BERLIN, Sept. S-The allied forces have lost over million men killed wounded and missing since the begin ming of the grand offensive against the central powers and their allies three months ago. The grand offensive IS dat
 ed from the attack the Ausans by the Russians ImS estimate has been made by German military experts who declare that they tried to be conservative as possible Against these losses the experts say the entente alliance can only boast of the conquest of little BukOwina and some Gacian territory by the Russians the capture of GOntz by the Italians shallow thrust into the German lines on the Somme and the occupation of mountainous Transy vanian territory by the Roumanans. These, 1t is an nounced are the only positive military achievements Of the allies in that time and they described altogether out of proportion to the tremendous losses sustained by the attackers. -

This whole question arises from the growing practise of shipping fish from Alaskan waters through Prince Rupert to the eastern states instead of through Seattle. The Grand Trunk railroad since it's completion has re- suited in taking at least a great part of the trade from Seattle and the Se- attle people have tried to get an amendment to the revenue bill which would compel fishing people to ship their catch through an American port, or in other words, Seattle. As stated elsewhere the amendment was thrown out, making it lawful to ship the fish through Canada as usual. The ques- tion has been agitated for some time and it means a tremendous lot to the United States coast cities. In other respects also trade from the Alaska coast and North Pacific generally is being grabbed by the Canadian ports and railroads. The opposition of Gardner and others is incOmprehens- ible. It means giving American trade to Canada.
