war on the dual monarchy, which
the president asserted was mot her

Shortly after the action Of the two

affixed his signature to the measure
which definitely aligned Austro-H Hun.

This ended the anomalous situation
that has prevailed by reason Of the
fact that the United States had been

not actively with Germany's chief

Administrator Myer proceeded to Wash
ington for an exchange of views with
the officials Of the national fuel de-
partment
Administrator Myer, discussing the
affairs of his department, said he had
been amazed at the readiness with
which the people of Tennessee had
adopted the plan Of substituting wood
for coal as domestic fuel. He said
his information was that the idea had
spread to all parts of the state and
that companies for supplying families

HER HOBBY

In the placer camps located at points re mote from the centers of population there is little relaxation for the miners after their days work is done, and they frequently in dulge in more or less profound discussions to while away the time between supper and bed time The subjects cover wide range. The war is, of course the favorite topic, but politics, religion, literature and the arts are not sighted One day recently at the summit mine the crowd about the mess house door after supper were learnedly dis cussing the rather unusual subject of pre- natal influences It was brought out that mothers frequently predestine their children to lives devoted to art, to religion, even to politics and finance, by their mental attl- tude during pregnancy Instances were cited where artistic natures were alleged to have thus been wished on their offspring by devoted mothers, and it was claimed that frequently the hobbies of the maternal prccenitor had been transmitted to the off spring.
 Jerry Baker. the well-known old-timer, haG been listening intently to the conveTsa- ten. evidently being deeply impressed, and heretofore, contrary to his usual custom, had taken no part in the discussion. Well" ," he said finally. it all sounds reasonable enough. But if it's true my dear ol-l mother-God bless her must have Lad q hobby for using the pick and shovel.'

SOUTH AFRICAN GOLD MINING
 NOT INTERRUPTED BY WAR

The gold-mining industry in South Africa is almost the only one which has enjoyed freedom from interruption owing to the war, according to a Capetown dispatch. This is accounted for in a summary prepared by the Transvaal Chamber of Commerce as due to the national importance and es- sential nature of the industry, both through the necessity of its products to the imperial government and the fact that its discon- tinuance would mean a chaotic condition of affairs in South Africa"
 Since the beginning of the war South Af- rica has produced fl00,000,000 sterling in gold Twenty per cent of the white em- poyes have voluntarily gone on active serv- ice, and the extra financial burdens i'm posed by the war on the gold-mining in dustry are estimated at e3,000,000 a year. Dividends last year were about f1,OOO,0OO less than in 1914, although the production was s4000,000 sterling greater.

crater. was so filled with ashes by the original eruption that vast lake was formed in the upper reaches ot the stream; Last spring this dam broke and preclpltated
 flood so vast that the high water mark shows 1t to have been fifteen feet deep where the valley is five miles Wlde, Inc remaining deposit of water soaked pumlcc, many feet in depth, actually is flowing sea ward as mass with a slow, glaclerllke mo- ton. It is like quicksand, and dangerous to cross. Cold bay twenty-five miles south of the crater, has been filled for several miles out from the original shore line by n,mice brought down by the streams.
 Among the phenomena noted as result of the eruption is that pumlce dust blow ing from the sunny side of the slopes in the spring has covered snowdrifts remaining on the north slopes so deep as to keep It from melting all summer. Thus layers of sno" and pumice are accommodating in the north ern valleys, which may remain for ages.
 The sharp pumice particles blown about bv the wind cut weird designs in the dead trees and brush, and have actually cut away small twigs The natives who escaped from katmal bay during the great eruption never re turned having been provided with new town further westward. The Kodiak na- lives, however, declare katmal to be ''safe so long as he smoke" Scientists support this native logic by stating that volcanoes of this sort only erupt when slide covers up the vent and pressure becomes suttl- ciently strong to cause an explosion.

in the conception of horrors Assuredly the use of the dead soIdier-or soldiers and civilians-for making explosives and fertl- lizers-is not wholly incredible when he consider the military teaching upon which the foundations of the Prussian hegemony rest, and upon which the inspiration which resulted in this war was fed
 "The German soldier. who is used in the battle line living, and in the rendering fat dead, IS so employed for the glory of the kaiser, who agrees fully with the famous French king who said, I am the state When part of Hans or Fritz is fed to the pigs to make pork for the soldiers direct cannibalism is avoided When the rest of him is employed in high explosives and he is literally shot into the ranks of the enemy from the mouth of a cannon, he IS used for Germany. Otherwise he might be buried in ditch to fertilize the fields which are be- ing reconquered by the allies for France"

DAIRY AND FISH PRODUCTS
 OF SOUTHEASTERN COAST

On her present trip to the westward the steamship Dora stopped for the first time at Simeanof, on the island of the same name, and brought away shipment of 1S2 barrels of salt herring says the Seward Gateway of May II. Simeanof is the dairy center of the Alaskan peninsula, there being two dairy farms on the island with total of about eighty cattle. There are also a number of sheep and hogs. The butter output of Simeanof is no small item in the production of that part of Alaska, The day the Dora was there a consignment of nearly 1000 pounds was sent to Unga for dlstrl- button to the canneries. The herring-cur- ing plants at Simeanof will be increased now that the Dora has made the place a port of call Prior to this it had been claimed that the harbor there was unsafe and all cargoes had been handled by gas boat and barge.

A VAIL FROM THE THIRD
Steward Gateway, May IA

Anything to get the best of the Third di- vision seemed to be the motto at Juneau" said Senator John Roman, who with Mrs. Roman and their children arrived on the Northwestern from Juneau, where he has been attending the legislature. "The Third division pays 7712 per cent of the taxes of the territory. but the other divisions will use a large share of the money.
 Each division gets an equal allowance on the road fund, but the Third division has to maintain the roads that lead to the Second and Fourth divisions and the great est population and most of the mineral sec ticns promising permanent development in the Third, with the First a close second. To give each division an equal sum was unfair on it's face, but it was carried over our heads
