DREAM OF PEACE: IS DECLARED OVER
 SAYS HERMAN PAPER
Whoever Abandoned Himself To Peace Dream Will Soon Be
 SObered Up.

BERLIN Jan. 24.-"The peace dream is over for the present" says the Tae glische Rundschau "Whoever aban doned himself thereto will be soberet by the entente reply and will adapt himself to the hard reality.
 If the German offer is today re. jected the thought of peace is not by this refusal suffocated The British French and Russian people have been deluded into the belief that our offer of peace was a confession of our weak ness and an attempt to save ourselves before the collapse.
 When the coming months of the war show that this lie too is shivered on the German arms revulsion must come and then woe to those rulers who will have to answer for the use less blOdshed."

HALIBUT FISHERMEN
 GET INCREASED PAY

VANCOUVER, B. c. Jan. 24.-Mr. A. L. Hager, manager of the New England Fish Co.,, has returned from Seattle, where he attended a conference of fishing companies at which new agree ments with the halibut fishermen were agreed upon As a result, the fisher men will get an increase of 100 per cent, for the winter months of Dec cember, January and February, and an increase of SO per cent for the summer and fall months.
 The 1916 agreement guaranteed fish ermen IA cents per pound on halibut, but the owners voluntarily increased this remuneration to 11a cents a pound. With the striking of the new agree ment for 1917, the fishermen will get 2 cents apound during the summer months--an increase of 60 per cent and will be paid 21a cents pound for the winter months named, which means an increase of 100 per cent.

DIR. HYDE IS GIVEN
 HIS LIBERTY AT LAST
His Prosecution Dropped By Order of The Court, Was Tried Three Times

KANSAS CITY, Jan. 24.-If Dr. B Clark Hyde did give his millionaire philanthropist father-in-law, Col Will liam H. Swope, typhoid germs in his drinking water and kill him to get his fortune, it probably never will be prov en.
 Dr. Hyde has been tried on the mur- der charge three times in the last sev- en years. Prosecution of the case was dropped by order of Judge E. E. Por- terfield in Criminal Court.
 The first case resulted in a convict ion, but a re-trial was ordered on ap- peal. The second was a mistrial, be. cause one of the jurors climbed over the transom and escaped to visit his sick wife. The third trial resulted in disagreement.
 Dr. Hyde always has maintained his innocence. The case against him was entirely circumstantiaI Dr Hyde claimed the Swope water supply had been contaminated by nearby cess pool.

Tor onto, Cobalt, Ont, and Edmonton, for a day or two arriving in Prince Rupert about a weekago Having just missed the northbound Prince John, they were obliged to stop over in Prince Rupert for five days. and were then allowed to travel north on the Freighter Prince Albert
 When interviewed this morning, MT Waugh stated that he had been gone but three years and during that inter- val Ketchikan had certainly improved wonderfully. He said that he was very pleased to think that he had been so kindly remembered by his old friends in Ketchikan and tha. he had been very glad to come back. When asked about the war in England Mr Waugh and Mr. Douglas, as he wishes to be known, said England would fight to the last man. That she was not short of men but of munitions. They do not talk much of the war at home, ," MT. Douglas said, that is of course characteristic of the British they just go ahead and do what there is 10 do and get it over with" The British, or the Allies will never accept any peace proposals until the demands of all the Allies have been satisfied and the Ger mans are not prepared to give in, so the end of the war is very uncertain even to those most concerned"
 The Marquis has two sons at the front at the present time and said he would have gone, but for his i'll health.
 The Marquis, who is now the head of the Douglas family of Scotland. one of the most famous in the history of the Scottish Border, first visited AL aska when but a young man while in the British Navy, stationed on the British Flagship, the II.

The present Marquis is the son of the late Marquis of Queensberry who was the author of the famous sporting "Queen- sherry Rules" and it was largely due to these rules that boxing and wrestl- ing were made possible eliminating most of the brutality which was in the beginning of these sports, such an ob- jectionable feature.

his chief supporters throughout his career, and one of the most distinguish
 ed leaders of the battle of Bannock-
 burn. He fell in the battle with the
 Moors while on his way to the Holy
 Land with the heart of his master in 1881. from which event, the family coat of arms is taken The crest is
 that of the Flying Heart, heart with the wings of Mercury on either side and bearing the inscription Forward ," MT Waugh and his distinguished companion expect to be here for a month or six weeks during which time they will visit various mining proper ties in the vicinity of Ketchikan, in cluding those owned by MT. Waugh at iSmuggler's Cove. on the Cleveland Pen insula.
 The mines at Smugglers Cove, which produce a low grade gold very similar to that of the Alaska Treadwell have been operated and developed to some extent and over $20OO00 have been spent on machinery etc. It is an ideal place for a mine, Mr. Waugh stated
 there being plenty of water, timber
 water power and a clear slope to the beach, and in fact everything to make mining easy. After the war is over it will be re-opened and operations on an extensive scale started once more
 New machinery will be imported, ev- erything modern up-to-date to facil- litate operations.
 On being questioned as to his views on Prohibition for Alaska, MT. Waugh stated firmly that in his opinion, it was a very great mistake. The class of men who were employed in the mines and the fishing industry, as we'll as the climatic conditions to which they were exposed, all argued against prohibition. He stated that Alaska S greatest wealth lay in the ocean. in her fishing industry where there was and would be until the last day an in eXhaustible supply, but that somehow,
 the Alaskan's were not making the most of it. The mining industry, while also one of the most important, was not poor mans business as it re- quired a great deal of money to pur-
 chase machinery and equip them for
 operations, so it was left to large cor 1 porations to invest and even then sue
 cess did not always come. Mr. Waugh further stated that he thought it would
 certainly stop a great many people
 from coming to this country, and
 would in measure, hurt the indust-
 ries.
 The Marquis stated that he was reminded of Scotland and the familiar
 Scottish Mists" by the weather here,
 and said it was very soothing, after
 seeing much cold and snow while com ing thru Canada. Both the Marquis
 and MT. Waugh, are in hopes of having
 some good hunting while up here. for
