 Father Paul Shadura, of Kenai, has jurisdiction over the Knik Indians and visits the two settlements on his reg ular religious trips. The old tribal laws of allotting each family a cer- tain section of country for hunting, trapping and fishing privileges are still in vogue, and the Indians follow hunting and fishing both for a pastime aud sustenance. They also make snow shoes. tan hides and furs and make moccasins. mukluks, etc, but as 9 rule do no go in for farming, altho this industry is being agitated with some success The old church build

SUN COOLING OFF
 SAYS SCIENTIST

It will be warm next summer, not WIhstanding the fact that the sun is steadily cooling of. The great heat radiator is already old and past its prime Of life. In 15,0O0,0O0 years it will be stone cold-dead, in fact So declared Joseph McCabe of London in a lecture before the Pittsburgh Acad emy Of Science and Art.
 He also told his audience that any unusual disturbances throwing the earth off its balance would mean ob- livion for all living things that inhab- it it. If the earth should deviate in the slightest degree from it's accust- omed pathway as it revolves around the sun, il would be all up" with this world, he said
 He quieted the audience, however. by declaring that if such a calamity should occur. all will have plenty of time to settle their affairs in Ameri- ca. but their affairs in some other countries might have to be canceled, he tenJured to predict.

Can it be that the residents of Douglas are lacking in that spirit of patriotism characteristic of Ameri- cans? It is not believed that they are, but the fact remains that the meeting called in Labor Union Hall for eight o'clock last night for the purpose of starting something that would result in the organization of a volunteer mil. itary company was attended by less than a dozen people and of these fully three-fourths are married men and passed military age while the remain ing one-fourth were bachelors who passed the monday of life and who wear that frazzled demeanor common to men who do their own cooking and laundry work There was not young man belonging in Douglas present of the class desired. namely: from 10 to 25 years of age, unmarried and physi- cally fit for military service.

PLAN TO SUPPLY GERMAN SUBMARINE
 DISCOVERED IN SPAIN

MADRID, April 9.-An elaborate or ganixatIon by which a cordon of Germ an submarines surrounding the Span ish and Portuguese coasts has been furnished with supplies. has been un- earthed. A rigid censorship has been established, but it is known that at least four men have been arrested, one of whom was supposed to have been an American but later proved to be a German.
 Lines of automobiles were run from Madrid to certain coast points by the plotters to avoid using the regular train service.
 Floating depots were established be- yond the limits of Spanish waters. These consisted of wooden floats about the size of a fisherman's dory. A coast guard patrol vessel discover ed one of these depots as number of men were busy restocking it, and af- ter battle captured several prison CTS.
 According to information secured by the Spanish secret service police on a number of submarines employed in the German patrol. the peninsular cordon is a link in a great chain stret- ching from the Baltic to the Mediter- ranean. one submarine being allotted to every ten miles. Each of the sub marines is supposed to be able to sail ten miles an hour and thus keep in close touch with it's neighbor in the lines

OKLAHOMA CITY. Sept. 27-The
state highway department will within
pursue in a situation that has devel-
oped In Ottawa county relative to the
collection OF automobile license tax
There is said to be a difference of
opinion between the ottawa county Of
ficials and those OF the highway de-
partment as to what should be done.
on account Of the rapid and intensive
development OF the zinc mines Just
across the state in oklahoma from
Kansas an extensive traffic OF mine
and other supplies has sprung up and
this is mostly being done with auto
mobiles and trucks from Kansas. The
Kansas license being less than that in
oklahoma. II is said these machines
are operated under Kansas tag.
The oklahoma highway department
is trying to collect license from these
machines under the Oklahoma law
also 1t can only do so by sending
some representative direct from the
department or depend upon the Otta-
wa county officials.
The Oklahoma department claims
Oklahoma license in two instances,
those simply touring thru the state
and those visiting within the state for
"A period of less than thirty days.
Neither exemption covers those being
operated in the territory involved in
the Ottawa mining district.

demand for farm laborers in the north

formation that comes to the state labor
department. There seems to be no
satisfactory reason why such a con
are not enough men in the country to
supply all demands that are being
made on the labor market
Farmers in the sections of the state
mentioned inform the state labor de
partment that they are willing to pay
from $40 to $50 month board and
washing for permanent farm labor.
but they cannot get the men. In some
kinds of work. such n threshing and
other work which might be temporary,
men are getting $3.50 day now. Bu.
there is need of men at this season of
year for permanent work. The labor
department is Informed that num-
Der of places await men who want
permanent work on the farm. where
the conditions are agreeable.
There has been little or no trouble
In securing help to care for the wheat,
cotton or other crops which needed
special attention. But as soon as the
the men moved on TO another They
did not apparently care to take a per-
manent place on the farm for the
other seasonable work.
Some conditions existing in the state
are partially responsible for the
scarcity of men for farm work. Good
wages are being paid for pipe line
men in the oil fields, but demands
there have been nearly supplied.
