AVIATOR WOULD
 EXHIBIT HERE

The Commercial Club is in receipt of proposition from a concern in San Francisco, seeking to send an aviator here to do exhibition stunts during the coming summer. The man evidently means business, as the letter received yesterday is only one of many received from the same source.
 Secretary Cathcart, of the club, says that it is not probable that that body will take any action in the matter, but that some of the hunting enthusiasts are considering making the aviator counter propo- sltion, in order that they may have an even break with the ducks nSxt season.

EXAMS TO BE
 HELD IN JUNE

On last nights mail R. F. Wash burn, local secretary Of the board Of civil service examiners, received d letter from the secretary of the eley- enth United States civil service dis trict, with headquarters in Seattle, in which it was stated that the date for the civil service examinations in Fairbanks and Nome has been set for June G. Ordinarily the eXami- nations are held in March, April and May, but the unusual conditions which govern Fairbanks and Nome m the winter make it impossible to have the examination papers here in time.
 The letter urges that all who wish to take civil service examinations should make application at once. Any application coming in late will have to be wired to Washington at the expense of the applicant. Those desiring further information on the matter should see MT Washburn at his office in the federal building.

MEXICO AND JAPAN
 DENY CONSPIRACY

TOKYO. Mar. 2.-An official state uent issued by the Japanese foreign office and signed by Foreign Minister L0,0no says: Japan has not re- aa.yed any proposition from either Mexico or Germany which suggests peace between Germany and Ja. pan and invites Japan to participate dts tn ally of Germany and Mexico in a war against America"
 The foreign minister took occa, sion in the statement to emphasize the present friendship which exists between Japan and the American -J.enment. and declares that there will be- Do violation of this friendly relation by his government, He states that under no circumstances would the Japanese government con- aader for moment taking any steps .ar would embarrass the United ta-as in her Mexican policy. and ae.ertses any effort that either Germany or Mexico might make to .acIre such an action from Japan .= worse than futile.
 Until Germany is ready to make peace with the remainder of the Entente powers Japan will abso- lately refuse any and all oyertures from her looking to establishing a separate understanding" continued the statement Minister Motono also
 states that Japan's alliance with the Entente in this respect, as well as in all others, will be kept to the letter and neither Mexico nor Ger. many need look for assistance from that source

known as "Lizzics." They are used principally ill Women'7 furnishing stores for display purposes. How ever. it is also the usual thing that they are found in the windows of stores and not in cabins Conse- quently, when the young gentleman in question felt the round, smooth features Of one of them on the floor of a cabin in the dark and when his hands became cntangled in strands of long. siIken hair. he experienced shuddery feeling that made him wish that he Was any place else in the world
 Roy Lund operates an express line between Fairbanks and Nenana. On one of his recent trips upstream to Fairbanks he was commissioned by a dry goods firm at the new railroad town to procure a Lizzie" He did as instructed, took it home to his cabin, and, being in a hurry, laid it on the floor along one side of the room.
 Brig paid a visit to the Lund es- tablishment in the absence of its owner that evening for the purpose of getting something There are nc lights in the cabin and he didn't have any matches, so he sought what he was looking for in the dark l. was while he was looking that he encountered the corpse"
 Nobody was around to hear the "whoop" that Brig" probably let out of him when he found what was supposed to be the corpse of a wo- man, and he won't admit ''whoop- ing" But he does admit starting 10 make tracks down town to search for an officer of the law and tell him of his discovery. On his way down, however, his mind started working, and he concluded that he had better make sure before get ting an officer.
 Accordingly, he returned to his home and secured some matches. but this time he took his father along so that the supposed dead woman would not rise up in her wrath when he disturbed her slumbers and Overpower him The result was that Frank, ST, and Frank, Jr.. discoy- cred that "Brig's" supposed corpse was nothing but a poor Lizzie"

 During the past few months, how ever, Slim has been more than ever m demand. He Was angel" for the Fairbanks Basketball association, It Was Iu connection with this that he began to call himself hard names After the Nenana-Fairbanks series had been played here, and the boys had decided to give up the sport, in view of the fact that the associa- ton was going deeper into the hole every day, to Slim fell the task of collecting the subscriptions already secured and securing enough more to clean up the slate. By arising early and working late, employing his hours between in interviewing different business men, he finally managed to wind up the affairs oj the club With the books all bal anced and nothing lost but his tune, about two weeks in all. Slim registered a solemn VOW that never again (until the next time) would he attempt sporting enterprise.
 As member of the committee for stunts on the staff of the Charity Social Slim was again at the front and he did his bit" on the floor of the dance hall also. In addition to these activities, hardly a lodge in the camp but what has called on him at one time or another.
