TAX FAIRBANKS BACHELORS

"Resolved-That a valuation of $2OO be placed on the personal prop erty of all single men who are not paying taxes on other property in the town of Fairbanks.
 The foregoing resolution was pass ed last night by the Fairbanks city council sitting as a board of equaIi- zation. It means that every single man in the town of Fairbanks, if he has no property, must pay an arbi- trary tax on S2OO worth of personal property which includes such things as his watch, clothing, jewelry and other personal effects.
 At the assessed valutjou of S2oO this means that the city of Fairbanks will collect $& per year from every bachelor although this is not bach2- Tor tax in the strict sense of the word. Al least, that was the sense of the boaM meeting of last night, when the resolution was passed. The three dollars is the tax levy of one and one half per cent, the present rate ot tax atiou in the city, on $2O0-Citizen.

GAME IS SCARCE IN ALL PARTS
 OF ALASKA
Cordova Tmes)

Gustaye Prcsner of Mccarthy, re- ports that the fur from mink, lynx and wolves is much better this year than last, and states that there are at present eight big gray wolves at Ling lake, where they never had any before.
 Mir. PricSner is interested in the disappearance of ptarmigan in the in- tcrior section, and is conducting an investigation to learn if the same con ditions prevail in other parts of Al aska as do at Mccarthy and in the Chisana country. He says that some of his friends advised him that they had not seen more than half dozen of these birds in twelve days cross country mush, where last year they had counted over a thousand.
 In answer to a letter written Gov crnor Strong, mquiring as to the cause of the scarcity of these birds in Alaska, Mir. Priesner received the following reply:
 
 q have to advise you that this of fee has received information through the game wardens in the different judicial divisions that the disappear ance of ptarmigm seems to be gen cral. This report comes from the Seward peninsula country, from the Yukon interior, the Panama river val4 ley. and from the Kenai peninsula, and in fact nearly every section of Alaska peninsula, from which l have not as yet heard, but probably shall uO so a. soon aS winter mul com municauon is established, which probably will be some time in Febru- ary. may add, for your information that l have reported the sudden dis appeaance of ptarmigan to the biolo- gjcal survey of the department of agriculture, and should l receive any information as to the reason for the disappearance of these birds l shah advise you.

AN INACCURATE LEGEND ABOUT
 GUGGENHEIMS

There is growing up around the Guggenheims a legend that iS about as inaccurate as such things usually are. Some Ferrero of the future probably will have to dig up facts. One G. c. Forbes, writing recently Tn LeSlie's Weekly, recorded that "No mountaineer, no proSpector knew more about hardShipS than the Gug- genheim brothers went through. The Creator, they soon discovered, had in- variably deposited mineral ''ealth far from settled centerS of civilization and had surrounded it with obstacles which only the pioneer and brave elected to encounter. Daniel Gug- genheim, with the other brothers, slept in tents or wagons amid wild surroundings as often as under a roof" And then some more SluSh. Daniel Guggenheim was a bold and far-Seeing fnancier and exploiter but he was not a pioneer of the type of Mackay and Hearst, and any such in timationS are probably quite nauseat- ing to him.
 In the early SOS. Meyer Guggen- helm, lace manufacturer in Phila- delphia. at the iustigation of feI- low Philadelphian, Graham by name, acquired half interest in the A. T.. and Minnie mine in California gulch at Leadyile, Colo. The venture prov ed highly profitable, the A. Y. and Minnie becoming one of the big mines of the district Benjamin Guggen- helm, one of the sons Of Meyer, was sent out to the mine aS accountant, and he, acquiring more or less inform ation concerning the Smelting buSt- ness, induced his father and brothers to go into it largely because of the unfayOrable terms the SmelterS were making on the A. |. and Minnie ore, which gradually became more zincy and consequently less desirable in character, from the lead SmelterS' standpoint. The GuggeuheimS, in company with F.. C. Holden (who soon retired, built the Philadelphia works, a large plant at Pueblo. Colo, in 1889. At first this venture was de- cidely unsuccessful but gradually coming to the appreciation of the necessity for securing the best pos Si0le technical advice and acting up- on that principle, together with their own sharp commercial acumen, they converted into a success what promiS- ed Co be failure. Thus having ac- guircd an insight into the smelting business. they early appreciated the great possibilities of smelting in Mexico when the lead bearing ores of that country were practically exclud- ed from the United States by the tar if of 1890. and erected works at Mon terey and Aguas CalienteS. This eX- panSion in business, to which the tar itF of 1890 opened the way, was the real start of the business. When the Philadelphia plant was built, William and one or two other brothers went out to join Benjamin In later years, when the business had become big, there was a little rift between the brothers who had been in the field and those who had stayed at nome. And finally, Benjamin (who was lost with the Titanic) and William retired from the smelting buSineSs.--Engi- neering and Mining Journal.

was not confined to any particular
sector. The whole line knew of his
exploits. His name was never men
| toned in print at home, but out in
France In every rest camp, village and
town, men chuclSled hugely over his
doings, and were greatly theered
thereby. Here is one of them.
A British machine was engaged on
lines when it was attacked by two
F'okkers. The observer saw the first
F'okker coming, and used his gun so
well that the German f1uttered down
to earth sorely damaged. The second
okker, however, dived right behind the
British machine, and so deiuged it
with machine-gun fire that the pilot
had no course left but to attempt a
forced landing. The German quickly
recovered from his dive and was com
ing back to finish off his adversary
when our pilot dived from behind the
clouds. The German saw him COM
ing, banked sharply and started to
climb.
The Briton stalled his machine,
and managed to put several shots in
to the enemy from beneath. One shot
killed the observer; another put the
engine out OF commission, and the
sleepy, throwing the dead observer
out into mid-air. The pilot managed
to regain control before his machine
crashed, and contrived to effect a
landing of some sort. But our pilot
was not finished with him. He circled
overhead until the German had go-
clear of his machine, and then he des-
cended further. and sprayed the FOX
ker with machine-gun fire till it burst
into flames. He then started to climb.
Clouds of German anti-aircIaft
shells pursued him, but he managed to
get right over the German firing line
before shell! burst near enough to
injure him. His machine stopped in
its course, its nose fell, and down it
went, diving steeply to earth.
thousand feet. five hundred, two hun
dred! Everyone's heart jumped in ex-
pectation of the crash. Then the plane
righted. Along the German line it
sped, faster than a swallow, and it's
machine gun spat venomouSly into
the crowded trenches. 1t was only a
ruse, just anotbGr flight of the genius
which marked the pilot from the or
binary, and he mounted heaven
wards and flew towards the s1fety of
his own lines, he leaned over from
his seat and gaily waved his hand to
the baffled foe"

Forestry Regiment to be Organized.

A forestry regiment made up of

for the organization and equipment
of the force and win aid in securing
suitable mon. The regiment will form
a unit of the Engineer Corps now be-
ing recruited to be sent abroad as
soon as it can be organized ana equip
ped.
The organization Of this regiment
is the result of a suggestion made by
the, British Commission. Similar
forces have been raised in Canada and
are rendering valuable services. The
object of the American forestry reSi-
ment, it is said, VIII be to convert
available timber into material suit

and other construction work with the
least possible waste. At the same time
the cutting will be done under the
supervision of technical experts in CO.
operation with the French foresters. In
this way the permanent damage to the
forests incident to furnishing the i'm
peratively needed timber, il is hoped,
will be kept as small as possible.
The regiment will be organized in
units capable of handling all kinds of
woods work and will include a mum

eliminate the narrow and dangerous
channel and shoals past and around
the cape There has been reason to
stantiated since the canal was COM
pleted by the limitation of vessels OF
certain draft to the canal and by the
difficulty which has been experienced
in fixing rates which would prove at
tractive to shipping and cause vessels to
resort to this route instead of taking
chances on the longer and more IN
certain but toIl-1ess trip In circling
the cape.
New emphasis is laid upon the de-
sire of the builders to get the canal
off their hands by the bill which has
been introduced in congress to have
the government purchase it. For some
time there has been a disposition In
Washington to use funds for other
purposes and to let the development of
waterways, except where the work is
actually necessary, wait until later
date. but in this case, while much de-
veIoprnent might be undertaken, the
canal is already in use even IL 1t is
not turning in a profit There are rea-
sons. however, for believing that the
government will look thoroughly into
its value before any investment is
made should that be decided upon. II
the government needs it there will be
no objections to the purchase but care
should be taken to see that an exorbi-
tant figure is not paid just because
government money would be involved.

in rows in the seed boxes and when
the plants are large enough to handle
they are transplanted to flower pots

however, preferred to sow the seed
directly in flower pots and to thin
out the seedlings later.
Unless the seeding and transplant

seed box, as the plant5 grow they
should be set in larger pots. Some
gardeners make three transfers before
putting the plants into the garden,
which should not be done until warm
weather is settled and the plants are
6 to 10 inches high. Great care should
be used not to disturb the roots in
any transplanting. Injury can be
avoided by using Old berry boxes in
stead of flower pots for growing the
seedlings; the bottom of the boxes be-
ing torn off and then the rest of the
box set into the garden with the plant.

SEEKING AUTHORITY TO INSURE
FOOD SUPPLIES.

In the consideration of the food
measures sought by the administra-
ton from congress, there bids fair to
be the same kind of dilatory tactics
which have characterized action upon
the other important bills which have
been presented to the extra session of
congress.
The bill as it now stands provides
against boarding and monopoly of
food it arrangeS for the licensing of
wholesale distributors of food and of
storage houses and it provides against
the spoilage of food by being held back
by agents The measure forbids spec
uIation in food or the organization of
exchanges to control it. 1t would reg
u1ate the use of grain and forbid it's
use in the manufacture of alcoholic
beverages and proposes the guarantee
ing of reasonable prices to farmers for
staple food products. It would also
insist upon reasonable prices to the
food distributor SO as to prevent eX-
tor-tion or the cornering of a market
and It would permit of the requisition-
ing of foodstuffs in time of scarcity.
Food supplies could be conf1scated If
an emergency should require and the
protection of American grown food
would be insured by allowing the piac-
ing of an emergency tax on foreign
foodStunS. IL also provides tor cen
sus of the country's food resources and
under it there would be allowed an in
crease in the milling percentage eff
-four and the mixing of other cereals
with wheat in the manufacture Of
-four.
The demand for such a bill is made
necessary by the existing conditions
for the insurance of an adequate sup
rlv and the protection of the interests
of the little as Well as the big con-
sumner All these things might not be
necessary but there should be the au-
tllority to take such action whenever
occasion requires and that is what is
being sought at this time

STORIES OF THE WAR
Stunts of the Flying Corps.

In a service like the Flying Corps
the standard of values Is on a very
lay minds" writes British military
expert from the front. according to
correspondence of The Associated
Press What is little short of mirac-
ulous to the uninitiated is but com
place to the airman, and a pilots
achievement must be very fine indeed
before it is regarded with undue inter
est by his fellows, far less by himself.
This enlarged perspective has ex-
tended though to a less degree, to the
soldiers in the trenches, to whom the
antics of an airplanes or squadron of
airplanes, have long since ceased to
be a novelty. But sometimes an un-
de,finabIe touch of class about the
manner in which a pilot handles his
machine Immediately attracts the at
tention of the men below, and the
whole trench here will be filled with
eager and observant spectators watch
ing his every manoeuvre.
Every plane coming up from the
rear is earnestly scanned until it's
identity is established, and once it is
known that he is coming, the SOL
wonder what new stunt will be i'm
troduced for their delectation. The
pilot in turn seems conscious of what
is expected of him and the more
because it provides the tired
trench dweller with a little mild
amusement.
"One such pilot existed Just at the
time when the Germans introduced
their much over-rated F'okl<er. This
type of machine and the tactics,
evolved with it, certainly scored an
initial success against some British
airmen. But improved planes are,
constantly. being brought out, aid
each side has always in use a certain
number of machines inferior to the
later enemy planes When the two
types come into conflict the odds are
naturally in favor of the better ma
chine. Supremacy in the air, however,
depends more on the skill and re-
sourcefulness of the pilot, than on the
quality of the airp1ane he flies and II
is to such resourcefuI men that the
British owe their undeniable supre-
