SAYS MISS ADAMS TOOK THE
CAKE-AT CHAUTAUQUl

One Of the Chautnuqua and Lyceum
artists who has rapidly risen to fame
is Miss Guila Adams. Last season
her work met with flattering approval
and newspapers and patrons were lib
eral with their favorable comments.
One Kansas paper said of her:"Guila
Adams in readings character imper-
sonations in the afternoon "took the
cake" She scarcely left dry eye or n
person without lump in the throat
in her first reading, so wildly was
the story brought before the listen
ers. Everyone enjoyed her program
and was sorry when it was ended"
One of the attractions which met
with great satisfaction on one of last
seasons Chautauqua circuits and
pleased in every city, was Guila
Adams, who comes here this season
on our circuit. The Hennessey. Okla.
Clipper last season said: Tuesdays
program including character delineat-
ions by Guila Adams, proved one of
the most popular of the Chautauqua.
Guila Adams representations were
delightful. It was real art" One of
the Kansas newspapers said: "Miss
Adams is very pleasing reader, and
she greatly pleased her audience.
Her selections were mainly humorous
and were we'll presented. She is great
ly in demand because she has very
pleasing and attractive personality
in addition to great ability and the
Chautauqua patrons will find that her
program will be one of the most in

DR. REED OF MARSHALL
 TELLS OF TRAIL CONDITIONS

Dr. J. Wilson Reed of the Marshall City camp, on the lower Yukon, arrived Tn Iditarod over the trail from Seward on Thursday last He left for the Outside last fall, and has been visiting relatives for the past few months. Dr. Reed formerly was located at Bethel on the Kuskokwlm, but for the past few years has been practising his profession at various points along the Yukon. He is accompanied by Tony Mo Donald.
 Dr. Reed says that the trail conditions between Susitna and Anderson's, on the Seward Iditarod trail have been worse thls wear than ever before known. In January heavy rains washed away the snow, leay- ing ridge of ice on the trail Then came heavy snowstorm, with fall of seven feet, making travel difficult in the extreme Dr. Reed and his travelling companion came through from Susitna with Ellexson, the mail carrier, and at times, snowshoeing ahead of the dog teams they were days m negotiating a distance which is ordinarily but 8 few hours run. He says that Euex- sons failure to get the mail through Tn time was due to trail conditions, and not to his refusal to take out the mail because of lack of compensation, as had been re- ported

POSITION
Reparation and Restitution Will Be Demanded, and Security
 for Future Peace

LONDON, Feb. 7.-England's determlna- ton to fight on until victory is won was re reaffirmed today by King George in the speech from the throne at the reassembhng of parliament The king declared that there was no basis for peace at the present time.
 "The enemy recently made certain over lures with view to opening peace nego- tiations," said the king. Their tenor, how ever, gave no possible basis for peace
 "In answer to the invitation ot the presl, dent of the United States we have outlined in general way our war aims. Our enc mics threats of further outrages against in- ternational law and humanity will serve only to steel our determination to win. My people and the peoples of our brave e allies all are resolved upon securing full reparation for past crimes and restitution for the wrongs inflicted, and ample security in the future.

Appeal for Labor's Influence Against War
POLITICIANS AT FAIRBANKS PUT HEADS TOGETHER
 AND PULL OFF "FRAME-UP"

What appears to have been neat little "frame-up" among the official crowd' of Fairbanks came to light this week with ;le receipt by Guy G, Geraghty, now United States commissioner of Otter pre- cinct, of telegram offering him the posi- ton of chief deputy clerk of the district court at Fairbanks, st 8 salary Of $2oO per month As the acceptance of the posi- tion appears to be contingent upon sue cessor to Mir Geraghty as commissioner be- ing found, the offer has not yet been sc cepted.
 The tender of the office while it does not come as surprise to MT. Geraghty is causing considerable speculation as to what really happened at Fairbanks. MT. Geraghty was an applicant for the position of deputy United States marshal at ldlts- rod, and has in his possession telegram rom L. T. Erwin, United States marshal for the Fourth division, promising that he will be appointed to the place upon the ex- piration of the term of Percy Charles, the incumbent, who is the Republican divi- sional committeeman, which will be early n the coming summer. At the tune thls telegram was received Mr. Erwin was seek ;ng support in his campaign for reappolnt- ment.
 The matter of the impending appoint nlent of Mir. Geraghty as his successor was surprise to Mir Charles, and he was un- @vare of the contemplated change until it became current talk about town. On his way back to Iditarod from the Outside re- gently he travelled from Seattle to Juneau with Mir. Erwin, and at that time no men tion was made by Mir. Erwin of contem- plated change.
 Apparently there has been an under. standing of some kind between the politi- clans at Fairbanks by which MT. Geraghty has been offered the deputy clerkship in order to relieve Erwin of his promise to
 ppoint him to the Iditsrod deputy mar shalship AS it seems to be thoroughly understood that the people of this district are not to be consulted in the matter of local appointments, things will thus shape themselves to the entire satisfaction of the high moguls at Fairbanks.
