=----- MILITIA DRAFT NOT YET PASSED.

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 25.--- The senate is delaying action on the militia draft enabling the Pres.- dent to muster the national guard of the United States into the coun- try's service as regulars. And the action of the senate is causing Sec retary of War Baker no little con- cern. The secretary is very impa- tient. fearing that a days delay now may mean weeks delay in get ting troops to General Funston when they are needed.
 Announcement has been made to the effect that President Wilson will commission the officers of the national guard under the militia draft as soon as the draft measure is acted upon by the senate. Which means that the officers of the mili tia will have the same standing as the officers of the regular army in their respective positions.

 TOURIST SH|P
 DUE HERE SOON
A-Y. N. co. STEAMER DUE HERE ON JULY 3 WITH BIG
 LOAD OF TOURISTS.

The local office of the American Yukon Navigation company has re ceiVed notice to the effect that the steamer Alaska has been taken off her regular run between Fairbanks and Dawson. That is, she will not be operated under any regular sched- ule as heretofore, having now been honored with the post of tourist ship" of the company. She will. then, until the heaviest of the tour ist traffic is over operate eXclu- siyely for the accommodation of parties of tourists.

She will be loaded to the guards with passengers, all of whom are travelling on tourist tickets and who are taking a trip through Al aska. And Fairbanks is on the itinerary of the tourists. They are due to arrive here on July 8 and will not leave until July 5. They will then be transferred to one of the lower river packets of the A.-Y. N. company and will go on the re- mainder of their journey to the Outside via St Michael and Nome
 During the time that the Alaska is handling tourists, the steamer Panama will be on her run, making the regular trips of the Alaska be tween Fairbanks and Dawson, carry ing passengers and mail.

IS PRISON FRS ARE REPORTED.

NEW YORK. June 25.-A dispatch from Gen. Bell, in command at Fort Bliss, Texas, states that a promi nent Mexican arriving at Fl Paso from interior Mexico asserted that he saw 12 negroes and three white men who were prisoners of the Mexican soldiers at Chihuahua It is believed that the men were made prisoners at Carrizal, and it is hoped that the three whites may prove to be officers or the civilian packers who were with the Boyd Mercy ex- petition.

Playing Better
 Ball Every Day

That the ball players of Fairbanks are getting into better form every day and will give a good account of themselves during the series of games which are to be played here July 4, was evidenced by the game yesterday afternoon. In fact, those who saw yesterdays game assert that it was even better than the midnight game, all of the players having worked extremely hard. The game resulted in the defeat of the Marquettes, the Van Dycks getting their number by the score of one to two. A small crowd only wit messed the game, on account of the hot weather and the Moose eXcur- sion to Chatanika
 | The only unpleasant incident of the game yesterday was the break | ing of Eddie Stroceker's finger Which accident will have the ef- feet of keeping the well known oldtime player on the side lines for the remainder of the season. The third finger of the right hand is the one which was broken, the break being in the first joint from the hand. Physicians fear that it will make the finger permanently stiff, The accident happened during the seventh inning. Stroecker was be- hind the bat and refused to quit playing when his finger was broken. He did, however, consent to a change in positions, so went into left field, while Henry went behind the bat.
 The following lineup of the two teams is somewhat changed from that of the last game, on account of the fact that some of the regu- lar players went on the excursion to Chatanika.

SIX BODIES FOUND:
 MANY ARE MISSING.

NEEDLES, Calf June 25.-Siy bodies have been found in the ruins of the business section of this city which burned last night. Many more are missing and it is believed that they met death in the flames. Search for the bodies is still being made.
 It is believed that Mexicans were responsible for the fire It is known to a certainty that threats of ven geance have been made by MeXi- can residents of the town on ac- count of a riot which occurred here several days ago, when three Meyi- cans were seriously wounded.
 It was all that number of off cials could do today to prevent the recurrence of the rioting and the consequent killing of Mexicans.

NEW YORK, June 25-In calling for bids here today for the purchase of large number of aeroplanes for the Mexican service the purchasing agents of the war department made the astounding announcement that there is not an aeroplane which is in fit condition for use on the MeXi- can border It is expected that the first aeroplanes will be shipped to the border within the week. The new machines will make unne,e.- sary the long and dangerous scout. ing trips similar to that which the two troops of the Tenth cavalry were making when their fate over took them.

EXCURSION IS
 B|C SUCCESS

Tired and bedraggled, but happy withal, the crowd of 200 or more Fairbanksans who went on the an nual Moose excursion to Chatanika yesterday returned to town shortly before midnight last night. They report that they passed a very en- joyable day. despite the heat and the mosquitoes.
 The train bearing the larger part of the excursionists left town yester- day morning at o'clock. Later in the morning. however, a number of those who were too late to catch the trail chartered the gasoline car of the railroad and made the trip to Chatanika.
 As far as could be learned last night, no unpleasant incident marred the pleasure of the day.

1t Is a period of supernuity among

body Of working people who have
had steady employment ever since
the war began, many of them at
largely increased wages. Raisers of
food products are prosperous and

The Enormous Parcel
Post Deposits.

| The last returns Of deposits in the
postal savings banks shows $104,-
100000 to the credit of $4,000
people. Probably the originators OF
the system scarcely expected any
such amount as that. It shows the
existence of a very large class who
feel utterly helpless at the idea OF
investing money. Many of them
have been taught by sad experience.
They bit at the easy money of some
Get Rich Dick Man. Afterward Il
is anything to feel sure of getting
their money back.
Even the bank with the biggest
marble pillars, the longest record of
solvency, and the most conservative
management. looks suspicious to
such people. They are not judges
OF human nature, and can't tell an
old time bank president from the
most slippery shyster of Wall street.
1t is fortunate that there is a place
where such people can get absolute
security.
1t has commonly been held that
these postal savings were mostly
drawn from so-called Stocking
boards" from people that hide their
money in knot holes. under the back
stairs. or other secret crannies. No
doubt much of it is from this sour
ce. Yet as the savings banks were
created for just this class of people.
they have probably lost larger
slice of these funds that otherwise
would have gone to their doors.
The man who is satisfied with two
per cent interest is perhaps not COM
petent to discriminate between in
vestments paying any more. The
best thing he can do is to hang right
on to his principal, and get il in
the safest place without much re-
gard to interest rates. And vet
postal officials say il is surprising
how many people of good average
intelligence make these deposits at
this low rate of return. EMPLOYERS
OF labor can often confer a great
benefit on poor people by wise and
kindly advise, pointing out banks
that are absolutely secure and which
pay better than the government.

The Christmas
Spirit.

Many of our holidays are mere
loafing days with no particular
meaning. Thanksgiving Day, which
for those who founded it, was a
definite and earnest recognition of
the blessings of Almighty God, is
for most people merely time for
overeating. But much more of the
spirit of Christmas remains. The
world seems to forget for the mo-
ment little of its hardness.
That is the outcome of the custom
OF giving. This habit is of course
carried to a preposterous extent.
Much of its is pure waste. But af-
ter all the habit of making gifts
is valuable one. The man who
gets used to parting with his cher
ished money to please some one else
may find that the highest pleasure
comes in making other people hap
py.
Into this struggling, grasping,
bloody world, the loving face of the
histories Christ shines like one Who'll
ly alien to our selfish striving. His
gospel has been preached these nine
teen hundred years, and yet men are
deaf to it. That does not detract
from the force or the truth of It.
1t simply displays the impervious-
ness OF mems hearts and the thick
ness of their heads.
Many people are saying that the
world has made no progress since
the first Christmas, because great
nations still ignore the call of
Peace on Earth, Good VIII to
Men" But it should be remember
ed that war in those days was the
permanent condition, now it is the
exceptional one. Let every one help
create that world sentiment that
shall the wickedness of it all, and
the folly of this treason to the Christ
spirit.
Into our peaceful homes on this
side of the water. the Christ spirit
should come without hindrance. May
the holiday season be one when
jealousies and rivalries and money
getting and worldly ambitions shall
be set aside. Let us have more of
the child spirit of enjoyment of the
simple things Of life. Let there be
the readiness to share ones good
things with those in need.

speed of the age breaks down the
workman at an early age.
His hands may be willing but IL
he lacks speed he can't keep UP with
the gang and his labor may waste
the time of more men than 1t is
worth Then there are the innocent
victims of dissipated men. The fact
that a man gets drunk does not
make his hard working wife and
pitiful family any the less deserving
of sympathy and help.
So the existence of prosperity is
no excuse for the closing of the
purse. There is need for every dol
lar that charity can give. People
who are willing to help can find
plenty OF worthy cases that urgent
ly need assistance. This is the real
test of the Christmas spirit, not the
manifold gifts made among a mar
row circle of intimates and relatives.
