a considerable extent, separate code
for each county
The nonresident fishing license has
been increased from 81 to s.; the
nonresident license for shooting small
game, from 81 to SIS, and the nonres-
ident license for shooting big game
from $25 to $50. The hunting license
viii be in different form. The old Il
censas are Of heavy costly material,
provided with coupons to be used for
shipping tags. The new license will
be of strong paper, but if the hunter IS
out for deer, he will be required to pur-
chase shipping tags at an additional
charge Of so cents.
The bill proposes a change in the
season for water fowl, which will open
Sept, 20 instead Of Sept. :. A period
Of fifteen days will be added so that it
will end on Dee. IS. This will make
the season longer by two days. It is
claimed that to defer the.opening by
nearly two weeks will protect the
younger birds.
Closed Season for Birds.
The bill provides a closed season all
over the state until Sept. 20, 1919, on
cartridges, grouse and prairie chick
ems. There is also q closed season
from Feb. 1 to Nov. l on rabbits and
squirrels throughout the state, and
bag limit of five is established for
this game. A bag limit will also be
placed on all game fish. The only
varieties which have had the bag limit
we're trout and black bass. To these
have been added pike, croppie and
nluskeIlunge.
It is proposed to amend the buck
law for forbidding the shooting Of
bucks unless they have horns four in
chcs long.
It is believed this amendment will
protect the young fawns, and in this
way preserve the game more salts
factorily than the old law.
Deer Penalties have been much in
creased. For killing out Of season the
fine will be $500 instead of $25; for
selling venison out of season or hav-
| ing it in ones possession, $100 instead
Of $25; for serving venison in hotels,
| 5000 instead Of $25; for serving veni-
son in summer resorts or logging
camps $500 instead Of SIS. The pro
posed law would class saloon serv-
ing free lunch the same as a hotel for
purposes Of game law enforcement and
saloons will be strictly forbidden to
serve unlawful game.
Penalties for other game destruc-
ton have also been increased. The
fine for dynamiting fish has been in
creased from $25 to $500; for netting
brook trout, from $25 to $500; for kill
ing prairie chicken, partridge, quail or
duck out Of season, $50 fine and S. for
each bird, instead Of S. fine and SIS for
each bird. No fine is provided of less
than $50. Infractions of the fishing
laws will be penaIized by fines Of
from $50 to 800. The old law rang
ed from S. to $25. Following each
conviction the license Of the offender is
cancelled for the remainder Of the
year.
Trappers will be licensed under the
law, which provides payment Of 81
fee. Guides will be licensed under
the same fee, and every guide in the
northern woods will be made deputy
conservation warden.

WOMEN TO REGISTER.

When the American government selected Herbert C. Hoover for national food con trolIer 1t chose a man who had made bril- liant success in handling the Belgian food stuation One of Mr. Hoover's main char acteristics is the ability to organize and choose the right kind of assistants but organization is his strong point That the government made no mistake in it's selection is indicated by Mir. Hoover's plan for instituting a sys- tenn of close national cooperation by Ameri- can housewives for the conservation of food supplies.
 This idea IS not a new one by any means, as it has been the subject of several appeals from the department of agriculture, but the food director has gone a step further and intends to organize on sohd foundation. To this end the women of America are asked to register for the campaign for the conser- vaton of food. While details of the regis tratOn are lacking at present, 1t is supposed that 1t will be conducted on lines similar to the recent registration of eigibles for mill tary duty.
 That the response of the women to the call for registration will be prompt and uni versal is not questioned The benefit to the nation of the reg istraton will be enormous. This is the only way in which there can be any organization to meet the food problem, and if this problem is to be met it will not be in any haphazard manner Definite lines of savng must be determined upon and put into effect throughout the nation.
 This is distinctly in the department of the women of the nation. And they have shown by their ability in meeting other prob lems that they are capable of filling every ex- pectation of the government whenever called upon to do so MT. Hoover could have no more willing or capable assistants in his at tempts to further the food supplies of America

RAILROAD WORK.

The open season for railroad work i'll In teriOr Alaska Is now on. In fact 1t has been OH to d certain extent for some time, but the arrival oi freight o1 all kinds from the Out side for the Engineering commission, anu the expected arrival of more on every boat from the upper and lower river, makes il possible for the work to be continued more rapidly. For the commission now has, or soon will have, ample material with which to continue constructor, and there will be no drawbacks after money for the continuance of the work is made available. And said funds are expected about the first of the coming month.
 Commissioner Riggs stated quite while ago that his first objective point with the railroad will be the Nenana coal fields. That is, he intends to connect the town o1 Nenana with the Ncnana coal fields by the time the snow flies, in order that the town may be as ,ured supply of fuel during the coming win ter On his last trip to Fairbanks, however, Alr. Riggs also stated that he thought it would be possible to push railroad construction work toward Fairbanks from Nenana to a cOnsid erable extent, although he held out no hopes that the road would be connected up so as to place Fairbanks as we'll as Nenana in pos session of coal for fuel purposes
 On account of the extent of the govern ment's establishment at Nenana, it is abso- lutely essential that coal reach Nenana by lall The big boilers of the power house there are now burning wood, as are those o1 all other engines, but they can be quickly turned into coal burners, and for this reasol, a sufficient supply of coal is desired.
 But coal for Fairbanks early next spring is practically assured Just what will be done in the way of construction during the next winter, or after the road has been completed between Nenana and the Nenana coal fields, has not been stated, but it is expected that construction work will continue during the winter and that Fairbanks will then be placed in the way of receiving coal supply from the coal fields

IUST \ DEMONSTRATION.

The post office department has now beet given practical demonstration of what cal be done in the way oi bringing our mail over the trail from Chitiua to Fairbanks For the automobile carrying the first of the over the-rrail mails from the Outside arrived here last night al $50 o'clock with mail which left Chitiua at 0 o'clock on Tuesday evening, u>t torty-,cycu and onc-haIf hours previous To its arrival here after d trail trip oi 5IO miles. And this trip was accomplished at q time when it was declared to be impossible to make it by the postal authorities who had cancelled the trail mail service until July l.
 This trip i~ proof that Fairbanks should not be without an over-thc-tralI mail service the year round, for both first and second class mail matter, for there k no reason why the government should not spend more money and bring in the second class mail as wei ao the first Conditions at various times o1 the year are, of course, to be considered, but it has been our experience in watching tho trips made by automobiles that very few oi them have ever taken longer than a week to make the trip when handled by compctcn. men, at any time of the year.
 There k q tune cOm1ng, OI course, Wht1 Fairbanks will not need trail mail service; when the government railroad will bring i1 all the mail all the time, But it would seem 10 u~ that the present is a time when the Commercial club should get busy again ou our mail iaciitie, and make it possible tor Us to get our second clas, mail a, we'll as first class in over the trail. It would then be possible for u> to be reading periodicals oi the present instead oi those of the vintage Of last ialI

THE ALASKA FORGET ME-NOT'

In this faraway Alaska, With its deep and trackless snows, Winter comes so very quickly And so very slowly goes, That the fair and fleetins summer k dream of brief delight With it's air so soft and balmy, And its days so long and bright. And it seems as if to pay Us For the gray months, bleak and cold, That our smallest, simplest flowers Here. some rare new charms unfold; And of all these welcome blossoms, Answering to the suns warm glow, There are none that touch the heart
 strings
 Like "Forget-me-not' l know. So in thinking of an emblem For this Empire of the North, We will choose this azure flower That the golden days bring forth
 
 For we want men to remember That Alaska's come to stay, And awakened in a day. And we want them to remember, Though her heart is one of gold, There are many other treasures That she offers to unfold. She has men of brawn and muscle, She has men of brain and fire, Who will strive to win her honors And achieve her souls desire; She has women who have followed Where the brave lrontiersmen roam, Who are sure that where the heart is, There can always be a home. And Alaska has her children Who no fairer land have knowr.-- Yet the love ol our whole country in each little mind is sown. And we want 10 tell the nation Though so very far away. We begin to know our powers, And we're on the map to stay And We want them to remember That the mines and golden sands Yield no surer, richer fortune, Than our loyal hearts and hands. So, although they say we're living In the Land that God forgot We'll recall Alaska to them With our blue "Forgetme-not."

tcutc While it contain, a warning to the government, of the Teutonic allies. it carrie, with it a note of understanding to the nhabi tant> of those countries. and a promise ot dcIivcrancc from autocratic government It i~ the American doctrine of equal rights internationally applied
 Ii Russia or any other nation needed assurance concerning the purpose of Amerl- cas- entry into the war, Chairman Roots speech contains all that is necessary. In Ger many's effort to make herself supreme the United States saw menace to the future peace not only of herself but the world at large and, having no other means of re ,coursc left, on account of Germany's uncom- promising attitude, she was forced to stake her future existence for the sake of democra- Icy throughout the world
 In the message America recognizes ap- propriatey the change ot affairs i'll Russia for the better since the outbreak ol the I<u ropcan war. She secs i'll the Russian people a vast body striving to accomplish their OWE government for the first time in history. It expresses the belief that the Russians will emerge success fully from their difficulties strong ill their democracy and confident in their strength The confidence of the United States in Russia's stcadfaStness is unshakcn
 She asks Russia to show by her course that this confidence is not unWarranted. While America is fighting for the freedom of the world from autocracy, the Russians as peo- pie just emerged from centuries of despotic rule by an autocratic class, are more deeply concerned than any other nation, and the statement that America is fighting for Rus >ia's freedom is very apt. In return for this aid, America asks nothing for herself, only that Russia fight equally for the same free dom, and holds out the hope that success will bring to the present War-ridden world d cessation of all wars and make possible a lasting peace
 This message comes to the Russians at a critical period, and should be helpful to the provisional government in settling its diff faculties, which is one of the main reasons for the visit of the mission to that country That the mission is having a beneficial ill tIuencc is indicated by the recent adviccs com ing from Russia The executive council of WOrkmcn's and soldiers delegates have gone on record as being opposed to separate IpeaCe with Germany, which is contrary to the original position taken by 1t. It IS be Icved that this change of front is directly due to the presence of the American mis sion. This will greatly strengthen the ef- tforts of the provisional government to end the inactivity of the Russian armies and com mencc an active campaign on the eastern front at as carly date as is possible under existing conditions.
 From such an suspicious beginning the United States may hope to see her aims ill sending the mission to Russia realized. IL can and will be of great assistance to the Russians Of all the missions dispatched by the various governments to America or 1 by America to other governments, this one to Russia is of the most importance to the nations at war, and upon the success of its work a great deal depends.

GOOD PROGRAM
 $ GIVEN BY
 HE CHILDREN

Partially m celebration of the ad vent O, ta. longest day .n the year. but also to show that they are cap able of doing things for themselves. lis is required under the rules of Jh" national ol-anization, the Camf Fire Girls of Fairbanks gave an in tnrestine entertainment yesterday af ternoon al Thornc's before d large and apprccIatiye audience The girls received no assistance whatever in preparing the program, other than that rendered by younger children and the entertainment Was particu- larly meritorious from that point of view.
 All of the numbers on the program were good, all being loudly applaud ed by those in attendance There were no lengthy waits between mum bers, such as usually feature anna teur entertainments, each number be ing regularly rendered as called for on the program.
 The opening number was the crownns of the Queen of the Fes- tiyal," a feature of the usual annual celebration of the twenty-first of June Little Miss Muricl Herring was queen, and she looked particularly beautiful in her royal habiliments. She Was attended by her two small sisters, Agnes and Patricia
 Miss Dorothca Johnson presided at the piano for all of the musical numbers and deserves great cerdit for her work, as il included several very difficult accompaniments
 A summer song, as rendered by number of the older girls. is par ricularly deserving of mention. Some of the girls were so disguised in male attire as to be hardly recog- nizable by their friends
 Perhaps the number most appre- ciatcd by the audience was "Thc Last Rose of Summer" rendered by tttle Miss Marguerite Stewart daugh- ter of MT. and Mrs. Jack Stewart of Fairbanks creek In her creek home this little tot has had the oppor- tunity to hear nothing in musical way except the phonograph, and sh" learned the song she sang yester- day from its phonosraphlc rendition as sung by Tetrazzni. following il out perfectly in her own rendition yesterday.
