BIG PAY IS
 LOCATED ON
 ST. PATRICK

Two thousand dollars from seven hundred square feet of bedrock was the cleanup made on Monday by Hugh McCrorie & Co.,, laymen on No. l below on St. Patrick creek, ac- cording to information received in Fairbanks This means that they have discovered ground that goes ap- proximately $3 to the square foot of bedrock and may eventually mean that the continuation of the pay streak on the old creek, which it may take many years to work out, has been found.
 The operators have known for some time that they were in the pay by the pannings secured, but never figured that they had better than $2 dirt It developed with the cleanup, however that the ground goes much better than was antici- pated. Good pans are obtainable anywhere in the small face that has been opened up. and it is authori tatively stated that twenty cents can be banned from the roof of the drift.
 The finding of good pay on No below means that the paystreak has been lined up on two claims and that the outlook for a good winter on the creek is very bright It may also eventually mean that good pay will be discovered further down the creek, or even in the flats through which 1t runs after leaving the hills.
 The cannery at Pillar bay. south eastern Alaska, is reported to have put up 35,OOO cases of fish this sea son, and the management expects to put up 10000 cases before the end of the season.

somebody passing in car or to
do some damage to the bridge.

CANADIAN POTATOES.

Canada has big surplus of potatoes
this year which she wants to sell in the
United States. A member Of the Cana
dian Parliament is quoted as saying:
"There is an enormous crop of potatoes
in Central Canada, and would ask the
Government to take into consideration,
as a war measure, the advisability of
placing potatoes on the free list, in or
der that we may have the advantage of
selling our potatoes In the United
States
1t seems strange that Canada has SO
long delayed the acceptance of the ad-
vantages offered her in the Underwood
Free-Trade Tariff. that of sending her
agricultural products to the United
States free of Tariff duties. provided she
would take off her Tariff on equivalent
products coming from the United States.
Canada has only recently done this as to
wheat, SO that Canadian wheat is now
on the free list. Potatoes bear duty
of 10 per cent, at our border. They can
come in without duty if Canada takes
off her Tariff on potatoes. Our friends
over the border are a bit slow. They
should have availed themselves of the
unrestricted competition with American
farmers granted them in our Free Trade
Tariff.-American Economist.

Senator LaFollette says practically
that this country went to war with Ger
many because the Germans sunk the
"Lusitana". On the contrary this coun.
try did not 60 to war for that reason.
At that time We accepted the implied
apology of Germany when she agreed
not to sink any moro unarmed ships
without warning. We did not at that
time even insist that Germany had no
right to sink such ships. We did deny
her right to sink ships without warning
and thereby drown innocent women
children and non-co batants. And
Germany practically admitted that our
contention was correct. Later, when
Germany declared her intention Of re-
suming the practice which she herself
had repudiated, then because We had
said that We should do 60 We went q
war. And that was ysas or moro aftel
the sinking q the ''Lusitana".

We all desire peace. But the man
who at this time wants this or that ma
tion to state specifically, what that
peace would mean in terms of new inter-
national boundaries is asking the con-
tractor to build the new house before it
is possible for the contractor to know
what material he will have with which
to build. All one has to do is to call
over the roll of nations and would be ma
tlons, and see the complications that
peace will bring to the front. Alsace-
Lorraine, Ireland, Schleswig- -Holstein,
Poland, Turkey, all the Balkan states.
Armenia, Greece, and Finland are but
some of these. And yet even some
Americans want President Wilson and
Congress to solve all these problem be-
forehand and under the present war
conditions. The purposes for which this
country has entered the war have been
distinctly stated by President Wilson
and chief among them is the protection
of our own country from the possible
control of the kaiser of Germany. That
is sufficient for the present anyway.
The other questions can be settled later
and at our leisure; there is limited train
that will run without stops until we ar
rive at Peace junction. We need not
look for the station to come to us, we
must 60 to it. Tell the engineer to put
ON more steam and we will get there
that much quicker.
