Local Man Has New
 AirshiP Invention

J. B. Ellinger, resident of Seward, is the inventor of most remarkable cOntrivance for automatically fighting aeroplanes and has a most interesting model of an airship with the contri- vance attached in his house between Fifth and Sixth avenues. Mir. Filing CT is the first colonel under the United States Aeronautical Reserves and was appointed colonel under Commodore Thomas F. Ryan in 1911. The plan which he has invented for fighting machines may be perhaps described as an arrangement of sails or something with a similar effect. When aeroplanes are travelling fast sudden gusts of wined from the side are dangerous and threaten to capsize
  the plane. By the invention of NIr. Ellinger the plane when struck by such a wind automatically heads into the wind. The wind strikes the sans in such a manner that those in front, sides and rear turn like a rudder. Mr. | Ellinger is pleased to have anyone visit his model and view it. He came here for mining purposes and was en- gagged in large way in mining out side. He has perfect confidence in aerial mail service in this country.

SITKA, May 16.-George Barron, a prominent resident and merchant of Sitka, who was city councilman here for the past 2S years, died Sunday.
 MT. Barron was in the marshals office as a deputy and jailor for 20 years, which was the longest service of any individual for any government department in Alaska.

SAYS BEARS ON KODIAK
 HAVE BECOME BALD HEADED

1t will take more than two or three years of enforced diet of straight meat and fish and loss of hair to seriously set back the bear popula- tion of Kodiak island, according to D Vim, of the United States Bureau of Fisheries who has just returned from the North, says the Seattle P-L.
 Mir. Vim made a trip to Kodiak WlSag aerof, A oac"b. < o,vecl,o @~.-iq., and he found that while they had hard sledding for the two years and part of the third year there are now plenty of greens and wild vegetables for Mir. Bruin, and later in the year there will be plenty of berries.
 Kodiak island, says Mir. Vim, in 1912, was covered with volcanic ash, at no point at depth less than Il inches. The ash killed all vegetation, and as all bears are fond of a mixed diet of meat, fish and vegetables they found 1913 and 1914 unpleasant from a dietary standpoint.
 Another effect of the fall of ash, according to Mir. Vim, was the havoc it created with the furry coats of the animals. Bald headed bears are now as common on Kodiak island as bald headed men in the front row of a mu- sical comedy The ash sifted down to the skins of the animals as it fell, and the first rain turned it to lye, which had the effects of almost tan ming the skins of the bears while yet a part of their personal effects.

GOVT. SURVEYORS AT WORK ON
 SUPPOSED R. R. FOR WILLOW CIR.

That a branch line of the govern ment railroad may be constructed in the direction of Willow creek is made to appear most likely by the fact that a party of surveyors is now engaged at Walesilla lake, some thirty miles in a westerly or nortbwesterly direc- ton from Anchorage. The surveyors appear to be commencing their work right at the lake and have not sur veyed between the lake and Anchor age. It is also stated that the Engi- neering Commission is preparing to establish a commissary department at Knik. Some believe that the intention is to build a branch line that yiu join the main line at both ends and form a semi-circle to take in the bass for Willow creek and some Susitaa points.

DRILLING IN DOUGLAS

DOUGLAS, May IS. Drillers under contract continue their opera tions in the city limits of Douglas on mining property under bond, and peO- pie are still speculating as to the company behind them.
 The guesses range all the way from the Guggenheims to other large min ing combinations.
 One fact is apparent and that is that some company is mighty active on properties along both sides of Gastineau channel, and men are at work in a number of places employed by local agents who are not advertis- ing their business from the house tops. Excellent progress is being made by the drillers on this side of the channel.-Juneau Dispatch.

NOTED ALASKANS
 FINED FOR CONTEMPT

SAN FRANCISCO, May 18.-Jafet Lindeberg and G. W. Campbell, multi millionaire Alaskan mining men, to- day were adjudged guilty of contempt by Superior Judge Daniel c. Deasy and sentenced each to pay a fine of s5 or spend twenty-four hours in jail. They languished in custody in the courtroom while their attorney, Roy Hudson, secured around for writ of habeas corpus and notices of appeal to the district appellate court.
 The Northern Light Mining Com pany recently got a $16,OOO judgment against the Blue Goose Company and, seeking to determine California as- sets on which to collect, had the min ing men in court for the second time
 Hudson advised them not to testi- fy about the assets, holding the Blue Goose a foreign corporation, outside the jurisdiction of the court. W. S. Andrews for the Northern Light Com pany, produced Blue Goose minutes showing that meetings had been held here and the court agreed with him that this put the Blue Goose under the local jurisdiction. -Ex.

CASES OF INSANITY
 IN ARMY ARE COMPUTED

PARIS, May 18.-The war has not sensibly increased the number of cases of mental disorders amounting to insanity in the army. Professor Regis of the Central Institution for Mental Diseases at Bordeaux gives figures showing that of 1892 officers and soldiers sent to the establishment beween August 20, 1914 and January 31, 1916, suffering from mental commotion," there developed only 69 cases of permanent Arrangement.
 These permanently insane were mostly reservists and third of them of the oldest contingents from 40 years up. There was one officer, two subalterns and 66 privates. Forty seven of them came from the front, twenty-one from the bases in the in- terior proving that insanity is as likely to develop in the barracks as in the trenches. More than a third of the cases are of melanchoEa with char acteristic symptoms of imaginary ac- cusations or self-accusations relating to army discipline, to courage and conduct in face of the enemy and various details of military duty. There were only eight alcoholics in the number.-EX.
