DIVORCE VS.. MURDER.

DIVORCE VS.. MURDER.-Les-
SEEMING arbitrarily the number of di-
vorces will increase the number of
murders. When a man tires of his
wife the only way out of it is a di-
VOrce.
Do ministers realize that the bitter
cause of divorces are starvation and
poverty due to the undeTpay of
workers. Living is becoming higher
and wages are at a standstill.
I presume marriage viii soon be
governed so that it will be prohibitive
for a poor man. Then the rich man
can introduce pOlygamy and have a
harem. Perhaps that would lessen
the divorce eviL-Mariorie Louise

he thought twice. He could have
taken the oath and gone to Mexico.
He could have written his mother
that in this hour of crisis he must
follow the flag. And the kept press
might have related in detail what the
mother said about the bravery of her
boy and how she wanted him to go
and do his duty.
There are things loveIer to pro-
tect than other peoples silver mines
in Mexico. There are things wor-
thier to be fostered than traffic in
armor plate and munitions. There
are things more heroic than march
ing to the border. To be mistaken
amidst the excitement and part-pa-
triotism of a military camp, choosing
to come home to his mother and his
work and his duty is the test of pa
triotism. This hero came home

BIG MAIL 0N THE
 NORTHWESTERN
Brings First Consignment of Papers from the Outside to be Received
 Since December 2S, 1915

The. steamer Northwestern, which was reported from Cordova as leav- ing that port at 10 o'clock last night, did not arrive in Valdez until after 4 o'clock this afternoon. The delay is said to have been due to the steamer becoming stuck on the mudfiats near the wharf at Cordova, necessitating her awaiting the incoming tide when she was again floated
 The Northwestern sailed from Sel attle on Monday evening, January 10, and brings twelve days mail. Owing to the Alameda having sailed before New Years the Northwestern brings the first mail to be received by the Alaska coast towns this year.
 The Valdez passengers on the Northwestern as cabled from Seattle are as Follows: George Boyd, Mra. Boyd Sister Amadeus, Sister Angeles, Heary Slater, Mrs. ID. Johnson.

An Extensive Sneene.

Bob Fitzsimmons tells a hard luck story that isn't personal experi- ence of his own. When Bob fought Peter Maher across the Mexican Epe, one of the spectators who had trav- eled 1000 miles and paid $2O for his ticket happened to sneeze just as the fighters approached each other liter the bell. When he looked up Maher was lying on the floor and Fit s,n.-
 nons was turning on his eel t3 walk back to his corner. The specta tor went to the promoters and .:- manded his $20 back saying that there hadn't been fight. He made suth fuss over it that he was ar , asted for disturbing the peace and fined $20 more. This was prot ably the most expensive sneele on record.

 During the sale six hundred thou sand belts were auctioned of and brought one million, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The furs sold included every class of pelt from muskrat which sold at fifty cents each to black fox skins, worth thoasands of dollars.
 Hundreds of huyers, representing the big fur houses of Europe, were present to bid againet American buy era and 1t is reported that the cheap. et class of pelts will be- sent to Eu- rope, where they will be manufact- ured into caps and mitts to protect the soldiers in the trenches from the winter weather.

Believed that War Department will Bring Companies Stationed in
 Alasks up to War Footing.

The rumor which was circulated in the Alaskan papers last fall to the effect that the War department was planning to bring the companies sta toned in Alaska to a war footing, has again been revived, and 1t is reported that possibly one hundred and fifty additional men will be brought to Fort Liscum at an early date next spring.
 The present force stationed at Fort Liscum is composed of detachments from companies "A" and "C" of the Fourteenth Infantry, consisting of about fifty-five men and officers.
 The war strength of United army regiment for foreign service, which includes twelve companies, is eigh- teen hundred and .thirty-six enlisted men and officers. On peace foot ing eight hundred and sixty-seven men compose regiment, each con- pany being reduced to sixty-ave men.
 It is believed that the plan to bring the companies stationed in Alaska up to a war footing is em- braced in the administration nation al preparedness program as the troops especially those stationed at Fort Liscum and Fort Seward, would be immediately available for service should they be required at any point on the Pacific coast.

|WILz MAKE PAPER
 OUT OF GRASS

AS a means of conservation in for estry, the department of agriculture is experimenting with wire grass as a source of supply for pulp for mak- ing paper instead of poplar or lirio- dendron. Wire grass as it Is com monly known in the west, grows on the Pacific slope and in Western Mexico. It forms a dense mat of roots and pields in fertile soils, sometimes as high as three tons of grass. It is fibrous and tough and can be reduced by the soda process. The use of the "hog" by which wood is reduced is entirely done away with.
 The paper manufactured from the stock has proved satisfactory, in physical tests, as 8 first, machine
 finished printing paper. It has. more over, a very satisfactory appearance and feeling. For bleaching. however, the experiments show that more bleaching powder was required than with poplar stock.
 It has been estimated that the growth of wood in the United States lis being removed at the rate of 36 cubic feet per acre each year, while the natural increase at the rate of 12 cubic feet per acre. In other words wood is being used three times as fast as 1t grows. The consequence is, of course. a continual increase in the price of raw material and the desir- ability of finding some substitute is obvious.-New Yeork Times. <.

SEES FUTURE REVENUE IN THE BATTLEFIELDS

Two suggestions--one from Ger men and the other from a French source, have recently been made re- garding the commemoration of the battles in the Vosges. That of the French is thus recorded in the Na- tional Zeitung of Basle:
 "In the ComnaNnal Council of Bel fort, Councifof Jeanneret made the recommendation that Golden Book should be prepared in which should be inseribed the names of all citizens who had been killed or wounded on the field of honor, together with the distinctions and decorations which they had received. The recommen- dation was adopted and a commit tee was appointed to collect the ne- cessary funds by means of 8 public subscription.
 The German plan of commemora- tion is thus outlined in the Mach richten, also published in Balse.
 "The Society of Hotel and Inn Keepers of the -vosges last week held a very interesting meetiap at Colmar. It was decided to ad!iress to the government a petition, ask ling for the protection and upkeep after the war, of the various forti- |fications works, such blcckhouses and subterranean shelters, construct ed in the course of the fighting in the vosges. These n.esiorials of the war will constitute not only histori- |cal monuments for posterity, but at. fractions susceptible of being exploit. ed.
