The U. 8. marshal's office has an :nounced that the office at Chisana will be abolished on March 31, and xthat Deputy Marshal Frank Hoffman who is now stationed there will be transferred to Matanuska. The Chi -sana camp, from which great things were expected as coming gold camp has failed to materialize and is grad >aally going back. The U. s. commits .sioner's office will, however, still be maintained as long as some respon- .sible citizen of the camp will under take to act in that capacity.
 Present indications point to great activity in the Matanuska district during the coming summer owing to the governments railroad building activities and by appointing Frank Hoffman to that district Marshal Brenneman will be assured that law and order will prevail.

SAVAGE ATHLETICS.

Canary islanders Who Would Have
 Made. Star Ball Players.
 The Canary islands came into sun jection to Spain about the time Colnm- bus discovered America. The conquest was due solely to the superiority Of European weapons and not to better skill and prrwess. Native soldiers were trained athletes developed under sys- tenn that held athletic sports to be an important business. like military drill.
 Spanish chronicles have left accounts of sports of the islanders. From baby hood they were trained to be brisk in self defense. AS soon as they could toddle the children were pelted- with mud balls :&at they might learn how to protect themselves. When they were boys stones and wooden darts were substituted for bits of clay.
 In this rough school they acquired the rudiments of warfare which ena. bled them during their wars to catch in their hands the arrows shot from their enemies crOssbows.
 After the conquest of the Canaries il native of the islands was seen at Sc. vile who for silver piece let man throw at him as many stones as he pleased from a distance of eight paces Without moving his left foot he avoid ed every stone.
 Another native used to defy any one to hurl an orange at him with so great rapidity that he could not catch it. Three men tried this. each with doz- en oranges. and the islander caught every orange. As further test he hit his antagonists with each of the or sngea

ITALIANS SEIZE
 GERMAN VESSELS
Fleet of Interned Vessels will Be Pressed Into Service to Relieve
 Italian Coal Famine.

LONDON, March 2.--The an nouncement was made in the British House of Commons today by Sir Ed ward Gray. foreign secretary, that the Italian government had requisitioned thirty-four German steamers which had been interned in Italian ports when the European war began.
 The steamers will be employed in transporting supplies from American ports and will enable the Italian government to relieve the coal fam inc which has seriously interfered with the industrial and military activ- ities of the nation. Hard coal is now selling in Rome for $40 per ton. The Italian government will have the advantage of operating the Ger man owned steamships in the war zones where Teutonic submarines are most active and there is consid- erable speculation as to whether the commanders of the submarines vii! wage war as energetically against them as against vessels owned by cit izens of enemy nations.

Oisenchanted.

There is a maiden lady in Boston who used to be very fond of Omar Khayyam. She quoted the Rubaiyat on all possible and some impossible "c. casions as though it were her Bible But d short time ago she went to the play, "Omar. the Tentmaker." in order that she might see her favorite hero in propria persona. But instead of being pleased with the play she came home disgusted. Her copy of the Rubaiyat Limited edition. numbered copy.

 MURDER CHARGE
Prosecution Unable to Present Con. elusive Evidence to Jury as to Identity of Murderers.

CASTLE ROCK, Colo., March D. The four union miners who were ,harged with having murdered Major Lester of the Colorado State militia during the labor trouble at Walsen- burg, in April, 1914, have been ac- quilted by the jury.
 The testimony presented by the federal prosecutor was very conflict ing with that offered by the defense and the jury reached it's finding after being out short time.
 Major Lester was killed by bullet fired from the camp of the strikers at Walsenburg and was the beginning of the fight between the militia and strikers which resulted in nearly a score of the strikers being killed and their camp destroyed.

WHY PEOPLE DIFFER.

In this world people have always differed as to fundamentals as we'll as in on-essentials. It is human nature to do so, perhaps. Even phrase or an idea can have hypnotic effect on xhe human mind. We are creatures of habit and of prejudice, and it is practically impossible for us to con- aider any question dispassionately and objectively, purely on it's merits. How is it that two sets of people, equally intelligent, high-minded and patriotic can take diametrically op- posite views on the same question? The facts are the same, but the meth cd of looking at them is different; the viewpoints are opposite. One set sees the matter front the front, and the other from the back, and it is not strange that it appears to them to- tally different, or that they cannot come to an agreement on it.
 This will probably always be so. for you will observe that human be- ings are all alike in being unlike. Ac- 1ions seems to generate reaction al ways in the mental, moral, as well as in the physical world. AS soon as one Derson takes stand or makes an as sertion another person immediately Aobs up to dispute that stand and combat that assertion, and thus the process continues until all society is divided into two or more hostile camps. Each side views the other as wicked and misled, and yet each is right according to its lights. In some <aases the dispute may be more the re- suit of bad liver than bad lights. A naturally dyspeptic person takes a pessimistic view of life, where per son with good digestion sees things with clear and hopeful eye. You cannot change mems nature alto- ,xether, and there will always be these two opposite temperaments, the bil- ious and the sanguine-with also a large element of the third class, sknown as phlegmatic or neutral.
 Consequently when you expect all the people to sec such a matter as the European war, the Mexican question, the tariff question, or the prepared ness proposition in the same light, you are expecting too much. It means that you yourself are of too sanguine a temperament, and that you have failed to reckon with the bilious and the phlegmatic elements of society.
 Life cannot be entirely satisfactory to anyone, for it is bound to be compromise between conflicting ideals and ideas. The best we can do is to make the best of it.-Empire

MAKING TRAPS TO CATCH SUBMARINES

LONDON: Snares for submarines, frighteners for Zeppelins and traps for the Germans in the trenches are but & few of the weird devices pro- duced by amateur inventors that the munitions inventions department is called on to consider. One look by the experts settles their. fate, with rare exceptions, for most of the in- ventors are innocent of the science of mechanics.
 These appliances as rule look like the work of professional hu- morists. But their authors are an- noyingly in earnest. AS an example of the kind of schemes the depart menl IS asked to consider, one man proposed this scheme for catching submarines. Ships equipped with a running moose of steel rope and a plate glass window in the keep were to engage in the chase. When the watcher at the plate glass window re- ported a submarine, the men were to pull the moose around the body of the runsuspecting victim then haul up and ...ng It as a prize into harbor. Another inven.lon, ignoring the me- chanical details, invented hopping motors to use in bursting through | the German lines. The motors, heavily armored and bristling with guns, were to jump like grasshop- pers over obstacles and trenches. Half a million spring-legged motors, according to the inventor. would end the war. There have been many types of "Zeppelin-strafers" submit ted. But mono have been adopted.

SHEET IRON ROOFING RIPPED FROM JAIL

The gale which ragged in Valdez this forenoon ripped the sheet iron roofing from the federal jail building and carried 1t across lots to McKin- ley street. In its flight through the air the roofing came in contact with the high board fence surrounding the tennis court and the boards were snapped like so many matches.
 The court house building rocked as the gales struck 1t but the big vault, which is 24 feet long and 12 feet wide with solid 18-inch walls of reinforc- ed concrete holds the building from being shifted, on its foundation.

TRANSFORMATION.

Only little shrivelled seed,
1t might be flower, or grass or weed;
Only box of earth on the edge
OF narrow. dusty window-edge;
Only few scant summer showers;
Only few clear shining hours;
That was ALL Yet God could make
One of these, for sick child's sake,
A blossom wonder, as fair and sweet
AS ever broke at an angels feet.
Only life of barren pain,
Wet with sorrowful tears for rain,
Warmed sometimes by a wandering
CLEAN
OF joy, that seemed but a happy
dream;
A life as common and brown and bare
AS the box of earth in the window
there;
Yet it bore, at last the precious bloom
OF perfect soul in that narrow room;
Pure as the snowy leaves that fold
Over the flowers heart of gold.
