DESEREERS I0
 LOOSE RIGHTS

Paris - The property of all de- serters from the French army will be eonfiscated by the state if the chamber of deputies concurs in Legislation that has just passed the senate. The chamber passed a law authorizing confiscation of the pro perty Of childless deserters only, holding that integral eonfiscation would be an unmerited hardship upon a deserter's offspring. It de cided 10 deprive the deserter of the use of his property, but not to witnIld it from his children. The senate refuses to take this view, considering that punishment in that :trm would not be adequate to tho crime. The chamber is ex- pected to accept the senate amend ment.

FAIRBANKS WANTS MONEY
 FOR ITS SCHOOL OF MINES

With the hope of inducing the legislature of the territory to ap- prcpriare sufficient money to build a new agricultural college and scnool of mines at the site se- lected several years ago and with 8 view Of pointing out to the legis- IatUrs of Alaska why such an in slitution should be established in interior Alaska, the Fairbanks Commercial Club has addressed a lengthy individual appeal to each seuatcr and representative. The fareraI government provides $5O,- OOO per year for all such institu- lions when they are established, and if the legislature sees fit to ap- propria+e the amount Of money re- Quired this federal assistance will be sufficient to keep it going until other means of obtaining funds are o0tained.

MEARS BACK
 Al SEWARD

Captain Frederick Mears, of the Alaskan Engineering commission, arrived in Seward on Feb. 24, af- ter an extended business trip to Washington, where he has been in conference with Chairman Edes and Sec. Lane on commission plans for the coming season, says the Gate way.
 Captain Mears declined to speak for publication in regard to pro posed activities, but as general progress is being made on all sec tions uf the coal road between here and Matanuska and on the main line toward Fairbanks, it is pre- stunned that the commission will car ry out it's plans for 1917-1S on the basis of an expenditure of $10,- 500, 1000, as proposed when Chair man E1es left for the East last fall.
 An evidence of the fact that this will be a most busy season on the railroaf is seen in the arrival of 136 persons on the Alaska.

CONGRESS HAS
 GAME CONTROL

The control of the game of AL aska iA vested in congress and not in the territorial legislature, al though unsuccessful attempts have been made to transfer such control to the legislature. Three distinct departments exercise control over the game, fish and fur bearng ami mals. These include the depart ment Cf agriculture, the department of commerce and the governors of flee. The department of commerce, through the bureau of fisheries, eX7 ercises complete conrtol over the fish aud marine fur bearing ami mals, the department of agriculture over the terrestrial fur bearing ami mals, while the latter department and tbe governor of Alaska share in the operation of the game laws. This divided responsibility does net work fer efficiency in the enforce ment of the game laws and regula- tions, TOT does it increase respect tor the law on the part of the peo- pie. This is the opinion of the sec retary Cf the interior in his annual report for 1916. In the enforce ment of the game laws and regula- tions nine wardens are employed, and besides the employees for the suppression of the liquor traffic among the Indians are eX-otficio game wardens without pay. Special game wardens are employed from time tr time or whenever the funds at the disposal of the governors of flee will permit.
 In June last the territorial coun- cil of Yukon Territory, Canada, passed a resolution recommending that anne plan of action be mutu- ally uI dertaken by the governments of Canada, the United States and the province of British Columbia fol the protection of game animals, game birds and fur bearing animals l-AlasFa Railroad Record.

ALASKAN DISCOVERIES

The story about Erik Lindblom, one Of The discoyerers of Nome, in yesterdays paper recalls to mind The remarkable stories of discover ies iu Alaska. It recalls how Liuderberg and LindblOm went along the coast from what is now Council and struck fabulous wealth uJous four miles from the sea coast. II recalls the late Fritz Miller and his partner who found Pine creek with the gold lying in places only a foot or two from the sur face. The story also reminds us oE the Jap whom the crowd tried to IyucL for saying there was gold in the Panama valley. It recalls tbe discovery Of Pedro, of the dis coyery by Fornander and Johnson cf Long creek on q spot where for mer Uvcspectors had their tent pitched.

BAD FIGHT
 AT ATLIN

Atlin, March $ - Special cor respondence - The fight which occurred on Spruce creek last night, in which three men were badly cut | up with knives, almost resulted in a double murder.
 It would appear that there was bad feeling between the men over a dispute which grew out of the oP- eratins Of a claim which the men were mining as co-partners.
 Not being able to agree on how the work was to have been done, Mateo, sold his interest in hte claim and went to the coast. He returned on the last stage and went out to Spruce creek to see some cf his friends, who were hTT, ing on the claim.
 While Mateo was going out to the creek, Marcus Pne, one Qf the men who had bought out Mateo, was on his way to this town, where he proceeded to load up with fire water. Having accomplished this he returned to the creek, where he found Mateo with some other Italians in his cabin.
 Not wishing to fight in the cab in, he called Mateo to come out, suing vile epithets in his invitation. Mateo accepted the challenge, and immediately the two men began to mix 1t. Mateo was being worsted and called to his partner Joe to come - his assistance, but to be careful, as Pne had a.knife. When Pne saw Joe coming to the assist ance Of Mateo, he turned On him and attacked him with the knife, in' fllcting several ugly gashes in the mans body and arms. Joe slipped and Pne threw himself on top Of the fallen man. Regaining his feet Joe grabbed up 8 shovel and be- gan striking Pne over the head with it, at last knocking him senseless, having xnocked the knife out of Pne's honds, and in the fearful beating which followed, one Oi Pne's arms was broken.
 Joe then went to look after his partner Mateo, whom he found al most unconscious from loss of blood Pne had inflicted several deep cuts on Mateo's body and arms, and had inflicted a gash in Mateo's right lung five inches deep. There were also two large stabs on the left breast.
 The two partners then crawled to the nearest cabin where they gave the alarm, and the constable went from this paloe and placed the three men under arrest. They are all in the hospital, and 1t is re- ported that Mateo is not yet out of danger. fl
