BIG CROP PROMISED.

Il the weather man will kindly refrain rom giving us too carly q frost this year, Fairbanks and Interior Alaska will harvest a bumper crop, the largest in its history, This will be cause for rcjoicing It will mean that prices oi produce that can be grown in In crior Alaska will be cheaper and will also lcan that Alaska will not have to draw on he Outside so heavily for provisions And in this way, Alaska will have done good ervice to the country and the world at large
 As a matter of preparedness, many AL 4skanS who never tried to grow any farm products before planted war gardens this year. MI over the city and in every community ot he interior, vegetable patches are to be seen where they were never seen before, And. due Q the recent rains, they are all looking fine, promising an abundant crop to repay the pee ole of the interior for their war time efforts 70 increase the nations crop production.
 And so let us be thankful for the prom isc of fitting reward for our efforts. ct us appreciate the patriotic work Of our war gardeners and let us supplicatc the weather man to please postpone that frost until we are able to dig our spuds and harvest the rest of our crop.

MORE HONORS GIVEN.

Again Fairbanks has been given recog- 1ition in an important way, by being desig- hated the district exemption headquarters for the scIectve draft by Governor ]. F. A. Strong. This means that a board of five citizens of Fairbanks will constitute the high est civilian court of appeals in the Fourth .)u- 1icial division of the territory.
 The five members of the divisional eN empton board, all respected citizens of the community, are William T. Burns of Little t+ldorado, and Luther C. Hess of Fairbanks both members of the house of representa- tives at the last session, the latter being the Speaker; Theodore Johnson, Adolph Pruning and pr. ]. A. Sutherland.
 This board will pass final judgment on all claims for exemption appealed from the local exemption boards which have been named for every community and precinct Men whose claims are rejected by their local board will have the privilege of appealing 10 the district body at Fairbanks and its decl- sion shall be final, with the exception that board of army officers may be called upon to decide special cases
 The members of the local board of eX- cmption consists of Mayor Henry T. Ray, A. R. Heilig and Dr, H. J. NcCalltm From the fewncss of the claims for exemption be ing made by the rcgistrants in Fairbanks and over the Fourth division generally 1t is not likely that either board will be overtaNed with work

FINDS MUCH
 COPPER ORE

What al present gives promise ul developing into a great copper prop erty was recently located near the head Of Wells bay by Frank Win chester. r. II. Daley. Ben Snvcrman. and Charles R Crawford. all reprr- sentative miners and business men ol Valdez, says the Cordoya Times
 The property consists Of group of six claims. four Of which cover a vein of chalcopyrte ore aycraein4 between sixty and seventy feet in width for the entire distance of six thousand feet. and for how mucn arther has not ye, been determined The vein k true fissuro. lying by. .wern graywackc and greensboro with we'll defined walls and gi4ng every indication of permanency The claims are known as the Globe and Globe Nos. I. 2, 3. [, ,.
 These claims are eXcoIlcnuy To ,ated for the economical mining and -hipping of ore. being about six miles rom the head of Wells bay with an aasy slope from the bay to the prop "rty, affording an excellent natural grade for a gravity tram. There is an abundant supply Of timber for all mining purposes surrounding tn" property, and within thousand feet of the proposed tunnel site k a wa ter power more than ample for all mining and milling requirements.
 Messrs Silverman and Crawford returned from the property few lays ago, and the report they make Of the find indicates that they have a good property. This is also borne put by the assay returns from the samples brought back with them. Sample number one, consisting of ore taken at regular intervals across the entire width of Ihe vein, gave returns of 6.47 per cent copper, which with copper at 32 cents per pound gave value of $f1.1l per ton.
 The second sample taken on claim No ,. and al regular intervals across 50 feet of the vein, gave returns of 6.09 per cent copper or $&S.9S per ton.
 Sample No. 3 consisted of ore taken from portion of the vein about 12 feet in width along the hanging wall on claim No. ,. This assayed 9.3l per cent copper giving the ore a value of $59.5S per ton.
 These samples were carefully taken with a view of ascertaining the true value of the new find. and did not in any instance consist of picked specimens. In addition the gold con tent of the samples was $3 per ton.

THE FIGHTING FRENCH.

Although France has had wonderful .ntary history, there has been general feeling that the French had lost their strength and spirit as fighters. It was probably this mistaken belief that will in the end spell the defeat of Germany, for the kaiser and h1s military advisors greatly underestlmated the strength and fighting qualities of the French people,
 Since the war began, the French have displayed fighting qualities such as no other nation has exccIled. It was the army of Joffre that saved civilization at the battle of the NIarne and held the wonderful German military machine at standstil until England was able to raise its new army, and ever since the first few months of the war, the fighting .atins have held the mastery over their foe.
 And now, after bearing the brunt Of the war for the allies for more than three years high military authorities of France declare that the army of the republic has greater supply of man power and war material than at the beginning of the struggle, disproyl>I9 the frequent assertion that the army of Jol- ire Is about to collapse as the result oI the destruction of its man power.
 And the army of the great European le. mocracy will probably continue to "col)apsc until an army of poilus captures Be"ln
 The battle of the Marne was the first blow to German plans for world conquest. Wilhelm knew just how many men and off cers the republic could command, but he tailed to judge the Frenchman's capacity to light. Had he known the spirit of patriotism ol the citizens oi that free country, he might have hestated to declare war on the world.
