RUSSIAN ROUbLE DECLINING IN
 VALUE

LONDON, Dec. 10--Writing immedi- ately after the Maximalist Coup Ill Petrograd, the Daily Telegraph's form CT Petrograd correspondent now in London said: "One of the most dls- quieting symptoms in revolutionary Russia is the devaluation of the
 rouble. It is no longer merely an ln- ternational matter as it was durlhs the earlier phases of the war. The cause then was the practical cessa- ton of Russia's export trade and her consequent inability to pay with goods for her vast imports of war maternal
The Cordova daily times., 1917-12-10

Now 1t is mainly due to the flooding of the country with paper money.
 The depreciation shows itself in a stupendous rise of prices and wages. The chaimar of one of the largest business federations in Russia stated that the government was having to pay 15O roubles each for shells which it contracted for at GA roubles."
 In the London market yesterday the rouble exchange went up to as much as 3S0 roubles per ten pounds sterling making the value of the rouble barely sixpence. In exchange circles it was reported difficult to deal at that fig ure and with regard to the output of paper money in Russia it was re- ported the imitation is now greater than ever and amounts to as much as one hundred million roubles daily on the basis of the normal exchange.

MUCH MONEY IN TREASURY 1T
 ALASKA

That there is over half a million dollars in the Territorial Treasury at the present time, but that this will be depleted greatly when the school and road appropriations are made is the statement of Territorial Treasur- CT Walstein G. Smith, who returned
 recently from the North Further de- tails concerning the funds appears in the Skagway Alaskan, which inter-
 Despite heavy disbursements to- ward Territorial road work there are at the present time $700,000 in the treasury, which amount will be con- siderably reduced when the first al- lotment of funds is made to schools.
 The Alaska legislature has instruc- ted the Territorial Treasurer to al lot $5O,OOO per year, for a period of two years, to each division, for road work. This totals $2OO,OOO per year, however some O. the divisions have not used their full allotment, which money still remains in the treasury, for use the coming season. Big ap- propriations have been made for schools outside of incorporated towns and in addition $315,O has been set aside, each year for a period of two years, for schools in incorporated towns. The latter schools send theil bills to the treasury every three months, and up to this time none has been received. When this paymen

is made a considerable shrinkage in the funds will take place.
 MT. Smith stated the reason for, the big expenditures by the Terri torial treasury was because of the de- crease in federal taxes causing al shrinkage in the Alaska fund, and because of the decrease in taxes from incorporated towns which were re- turned to those towns. The Alaska fund, set aside 65 per cent for the road commission, 25 per cent to sup ply schools outside of incorporated towns, and 10 per cent went to judges for the relief of destitution in their districts This fund is constantly shrinking, necessitating larger appro- priations on the part of the Terri torial treasury as authorized by the legislature.
 The heaviest tax season for this year is yet to come, from January to April. The biggest sources of revenue to the Territory are from fish and mining; the former pay a graduated tax and the latter pay 1 per cent of their net income. Fish traps pay $1O0 a year. Doctors, dentists, lawyers, bakeries, laundries and registered boats pay a yearly tax. Thelephone companies, electric and water com panies pay F of one per cent of their gross receipts. Autos for hire pay a yearly tax of $500; public messan gers pay $25, meat markets and cold storage plants pay a graduate tax and the railroads of Alaska pay a tax of 1 per cent on the gross income.

CROPS OUTLOOK
WITHIN THE STATE
SHOWS BRIGHTER
COLD WEATHER OF MAY RE-
TARDED TERMINATION. FRUIT
LOOKS SAFE

Cold weather has greatly retarded
the termination of all recently plant
ed crops and the growth of all others.
During the first half of the month
rapid progress was made in blowing
and preparing the soil for corn,
beans, and potatoes, but frequent
heavy rains during the latter part
hindered this work to some extent,
and the planting of corn and sugar
beets even where conditions were the
most favorable was only partially
completed.
The outlook for wheat is disap-
pointing except in a few southern
counties where it is in very good CON
dition. Some fields in other localities
have made decided improvement since
the recent rains, but much of the
crop is very spotted, thin and weak
and in the central districts a consider
able amount has been plowed up. Rye
suffered less from winter killing and
is in relatively better condition al
though the stand is only fair. That
which was sown early on light soils
is now heading.
There is a marked increase in the
acreage of oats and barley over last
year. In most cases these crops GER
minated we'll but are making slow
growth because Of the prevailing cold
weather. The acreage of clover is
somewhat less than the abnormal
acreage cut last year. Considerable
damage was done by "heaving" and
winter-killing in certain sections, but
most of the new seedlings in other dis
tricts are making good showings.
Pastures and meadows are fully three
weeks behind normal season, and the
outlook for the latter is not promis-
ing.
Only in the southern half of the
state did the fruit trees reach the
blooming stage by the end Of the
month, and the crop prospect is
therefore still very uncertain. The
outlook seems to indicate large crop
Of small fruits, fair yield of pears,
plums, cherries, and early apples, and
and rather light crop of peaches and
winter apples. Peaches were mostly
winter-killed except in the counties
bordering on Lake Michigan, and in
some of these the crop was badly
damaged. The weather conditions
during the next two or three weeks
will have an important bearing on the
ultimate yield of fruit, and may ma
terially alter the present forecast.

CHILDRENS PULPIT
Jesus and Rad Men

As we read the STORY Of Jesus life
we are almost amazed at the kind
treatment He gave Wicked men. He
himself was faultleys, yet He ever
loved the sinner ard was always
ready to associate with them. He
did not follow themf they went His
way.
It is very interesting, however, to
note Jesus indignant on toward, and
treatment of, a grc of bad men
whom He found in the Temple buying
and selling. These linen were crook
ed in their business dealings. AL
though they were III the Temple of
God, they nevertheless robbed the
poor at every opportunity. Their
business itself scents to have been a
necessary work. The trouble with
them was the way they conducted it.
So many of our goIod things Of life
are turned into evil Through the hands
of evil men. Our work, then, is just
as noble and sacred as we are noble
and honest in the doing Of it.
As Jesus saw them he burned with
a holy Indignation. He made for
Himself a small whip Of cords, and,
having turned over the money tables,
He drove all of Those men from the
Temple. / suppose that He caused

them to lose many deals and therefore
to lose money, yet it seems that not
one really resisted Him. Now Jesus
does not wish TO be the means of
causing anyone to lose money, but
these men were dishonest, and Jesus
always loved honesty more than
money. He wants us to do the same,
too. These men were only reaping
what they had sown. They are like
our present saloon men, who are
bound to lose money when we vote
our nation dry. But no one is to
blame but themselves.
But why was Jesus so harsh with
them? Because to His mind they
were committing the worst of all
sins-robbing and expressing others.
Jesus one ruling ambition was to
help others. He seemed to think
that the man who would deliberately
injure others was the worst of all
men. l think he would teach. us by
this act that our life plans must in
clude help for others if we wish to
reach complete success. AS children
we should early in life resolve that
we will do nothing that we know will
unjustly injure others. Mr.. Booth,
founder of the Salvation Army, was
IOl lar lIOil IlSHI WHeil he CHOuBHI
that Christianity could be explained
with the one word-Others.
But how could Jesus drive so many
men from their business, they being
many and He alone? We often hear
them say that might makes right"
We shall some day learn, however,
that fright makes might" Jesus
could do this because they all knew
that He was right and they were
wrong Sir Galahad said, "My
strength is the strength Of ten be-
cause my heart is pure" So it was
with Jesus. His goodness made Him
strong. So it will be with us all.
We will have the strength of ten if
we keep our hearts pure and battle
for others whenever they are wrong
ed. With pure heart and love for
others we shall succeed in life.
