HELPLESS BUREAUCRACY

If MT. Burleson is going to sup press all publications that venture to "impugn the motives of the govern
 ment" The must in the end virtually suppress all hostile criticism of the administration and destroy free speech in this country. Of course, he will not do it. The president will not be so unwise as to let him. AS much harm may be done arbitrarily sup pressing a dissenting paper because of its opinions, during the war period as by letting it flourish and scream to the uttermost it's mistaken views.
 There is a real danger ahead in the harsh enforcement of the new laws by postal officials who may not be discreetly guided, or may not be sufficiently sensitive to the spirit of the sound political doctrine that dis sent and criticism should be permitted free expression within lawful limits in the public prints of the land. Hon. est error can be suppressed only by

BARRACKS TO BE
 ERECTED ANCHORAGE

At a meeting last night of mem bers of the Home Guard and the Loy- al league, plans were discussed to er- ect a building here to be used as an indoor drilling place by the two mill tary organizations. The fact that $100 a month will be allowed from the territorial treasury as rent for suitable drilling quarters will justi- fy, it is believed, the construction of building.
 Committees each of five members from the two organizations will meet tonight in Pioneer hall to. decide OH definite plans, which will be sub- mitted to a joint meeting of the Home Guards and Loyal League to- morrow night in Pioneer hall.
 The Alaskan Engineering Commis- sion has offered to donate a site for the barracks building.-Times.

A Mysterious Blaze

Recently in driving heading in the Bonne Terre mine of the St Jo- seph Lead Co.,. at Bonne Terre. Mo, an odor of gasoline was noticed. As the heading advanced, it became stronger until finally the emanations from a drillhole took fire from the open flame of miners cap lamp. This fire was easily extinguished but further drilling brought out SO much more "gas" that another big fire oc- cured and was extinguished with diff ficulty. As this occurred in a porous dolomite with heavy sandstone be- low and on an anticlinal structure. visions of a gas field were conjured, further heightened when a churn- drill hole sunk to this horizon pro- duced about 10 gal. of gasoline-and then petered out-but it was clean, straight gasoline. A quiet investiga- tion of the neighborhood developed the fact that a blacksmith shop had been run for years immediately over the gasoline drift" and that it had been equipped with an old gasoline engine supplied from underground tanks. With gasoline at 10c per gal. a slight but steady leakage was not noticeable and would never have been detected, but for the unique outbreak of a gasoline fire ir a new rock drift in the mine directly under the old tank.-Ex.

IT WOULD seem that the time is coming when the United States Gov ernment will be obliged to take a hand in fixing the price of cotton. When it is remembered that cotton went begging at 10 cents a pound, and that the uy-a-bale-of-cotton' slogan was used to induce people to save the Southern farmer" only a short time ago, one naturally sus- poets that the present price, soaring we'll above 25 cents a pound, Is about as high as it ought to go. And yet at a cotton-growers' conference in New Orleans. the other day, the ques- tion of putting the price up to 45 cents a pound was agitated. The cot ton crop this year is not large one, but the total output, as estimated by the government, will be more than 5O0,0OO bales larger than that of last year.

Found . "Wood's Pussy"


 Some extravagant person night-let- tered that the following was over heard at the recent St. Louis. A. I. M E. convention: The engineer, "Yes, Blank lost all his money in a wildcat mine." His wife interrupted, "I did mt know you had to mine for wild cats" The wife of another engineer butted in with: "Oh, yes you do, but is never pays. When I was a little girl in southwestern Virginia I rambl- ed upon Angels Rest Mountain one day, looking for berries. Suddenly saw the cutest little kitten ever. In- stead of coming when 1 called. it ran into hole in the ground. Determined to have that kitten, my sister and 1 commenced mining with a stick. Pret- ty soon we struck the mother lode all most at grass roots and collected some rich samples. We each prom ised faithfully, hope-to-die, cross-our- hearts never to tell a soul, but it was not necessary. When we were about 100 yards from home something told mother what had happened and she ordered us to bury our clothes before coming to the house. You see, our kit ten was wood pussy which is ano- ther kind of a wild cat. ."-Ex.

SOMETHING WRONG

A news dispatch to the Chicago Tribune says that Oklahoma farm CTS are feeding wheat to the hogs be- cause the governmentally-fixed price is lower than that of corn. Yet with in a hundred miles of the country whence this is reported there are towns where "wheatless days" are on the calendar. Something seems to be wrong in all this-that is. if anything can be wrong under statute like the food-control bill which was hailed as being full of promise for all the peo- ple.

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS

Owing to the war tax hitting the newspapers especially hard we are compelled to raise the price of our publications. Commencing November 1 the price of the Daily Prospector delivered or by mail will be $1.50 per month including the Miner. The price of the Miner alone will be $3.50 per year. These prices will prevail only for the duration of the war, and we deeply regreat the necessity of the raise, but if we stay in business it is imperative.

As the final scenes were taken of Norma Talmadges Selznick- Pictures
production of Poppy" made from Cynthia Stockeys fascinating story of
the love-starved South African girl, the conviction "a hammered home that
this feature photoplay is destined to create a sensation surprising that of
the novel. From producer to props enthusiasm about the studios for this
picture reached Unprecedented heights.
OF all the popular novels that have been visualzed, it is doubtful if any
possessed anything like the potential qualities of Poppy" Romance, action,
surprise, suspense and all the component parts of drama vie for supremacy
on every page, and in transferring to the screen the evaporation of the d-
rector has been TO determine what to omit, so bountful is the material.
That Norma Talmadge, in her depletion of Cynthia Stockeys heroine,
Poppy Destin, the child of nature ove whose trials ant. tribulatons a whole
world has wept is to achieve the greatest triumph of her ilustrious career,
was predicted by those privileged o see the first running of the completed
portion of the picture. Miss Talmadge, it is said, has grasped with almost
Iuncanny appreciation the authors conception, and imbued with the spirit
Iof the story and a sympathetic feeling for its principal figure she has given
a Characterization which will rebound immeasuraby to her glory.
The countless readers of Poppy" anxious to sec vsuaizcd the Irish
Ivagabond born in Africa to a life 50 crowded with disappointment and depn-
vcljon are indebted to Joseph NJ. Schenck, head OF the Norma Talmadge Film
Company, for the opportunity of again weeping W the troubles of this
child of destiny.
Upon Mr.. Schenchs specific instructions, the story has been followed
with great fidelity and the screen version will bring into vision Evelyn Car
sn, poor little Poppys adventurous lover, Luce Abinger, who caused her 81
much anguish, and Charles Bramham, the loyal friend who also bore a love
for the strange product of the Transvaa.
In addition to 1.-THE three bad men" so picturesque and yet o provok-
ing, there will be Clementine Portal Poppys sole comfort, Mary Capron
whose beauty was only exceeded by her jealousy; Sophie Cornell, the self
satisfied "sekretary," and all the other characters that help to make this
novel so enthraling. This picture will be shown at the Rex Theatre next
Sunday night at the regular admission fee, &c and l6c.

 A voluntary arrangement between producers and distributors whereby milk prices may be cut is discussed as possibility when the administra tion completes its investigation ot milk production and distributing costs.
 There can be no doubt" said the food administrators statement, that the very high prices of feeding stuffs during the last few months mas borne, hard on the dairyman. but there are many reasons to expect much lower ranges of prices later in the fall.
