Omen Winter Predicted.

Juliaetta independents: Old tim
ers, including Indians. are predicting
an open winter. One reason for rAthis
prediction is the crop Of green grass
everywhere present. 1t Is claimed we
have never had a closed winter over
green grass. Let us hope that this
proves true. as woolen clothing and
fuel are two expensive articles. to say
nothing of the price of hay and 9TH
er cattle feed.
Hunters who have recently come
in from the hills say the grouse are
high up in the mountains and that
the hornets nests are low down neal
the groud. Therefore. the old timers
forecasts a mild. open winter.
We are at war with Germany be-
cause Germany first made war on us
sank our ships. killed our citizens
and plotted against us while profess
ing friendship. We endured until
it became question of fighting OF
admitting we were no longer free
nation. Who of us would have pre-.
fered submission to war-mad medi
aeval Prussian militarism? We are
now defending our rights as fire,
nation And we are right.

DON'T SELL YOUR
 LIBERTY BONDS
Government Has Evidence That Ger many is Meddling With
 American Finances

The Treasury Department author. izes the following:
 Tho necessity for purchasers of Liberty bonds keeping them was i'm pressed strongly upon about a hun dred representatives of Liberty Loan committee from an parts of the country by Secretary McAdoo in a conference here. The conference was the first of a series that will be held for the purpose of coordinating the efforts of Liberty Loan workers in coming campaigns.
 Lowered market prices for Liberty bonds. the Secretary declared, were due to sales traceable to agents of Che Kaiser, thoughtless persons who do not realze that unnecessary sales drive down prices, and those who arc forced by circumstances beyond their control to sell their bonds.
 Germanys Hand Seen
 Some persons sell these bonds for maleyolcnt reasons" the Secretary said. "Invcstigations that l have made recently convince me that the hand of the Kaiser is behind certain sales. or course, l am not in pca- session of evidence which would com vince a jury of the truth of this as- sertion. but l could convince any fair-mlnded man of it. Thoughtlcss persons. who think they have done their duty when they buy bonds, also sell them. These thoughtless per sons can be changed to thoughtful ones if we will show them how their sales are affecting tho government We can not influence the Kaiser's people, but we can put them in the penltentiaries, and want to sec them there, for we must deal re. lentlessly with all enemies of Am. erica"
 Discussion of plans for meeting the question that has arisen from th' value of bonds being driven down by sales was urged by the Secretary.
 Touching on interest rates, tho Secretary said he hoped it would mol be necessary to raise them above th' present per cent rate for succeed | ing loan. He also added that Inc hoped it would be unnecessary t' raise by taxes during tho remainde of this fiscal year more money Char is now provided for by law, and tha no marked changes be made in th present tax rates for the cominl fiscal year. This, however, Inc said was a matter for congressional de termination, and he had no idea a to the congressional view on it.

FORMER ISLANDERS MARRY

A marriage took place shortly af- ter midnight at Juneau Christmas morning in which two former and we'll known Islanders, Mrs Albee Copeland and A. J. Stevens were the principals. The reason for the ceremony taking place at such an unreasonable hour was that the bride was coming from Seattle on the steamer Jefferson which was due to arrive early i'm the evening but which was delayed. As everything was in readiness for the marriage, it took place as arranged. only at a later hour. Mir. Stevens was for several years employed at Tread we'll. first as amalgamator' and after ward at the cyanide plant. At pres ent he is a foreman in the Alaska Juneau mill. Mrs. Stevens is a niece of Photographer Ed. Andrews and was his assistant most of last year, going to the outside only few months ago. Both the young people have many friends on the Island. They will make their home in Jul noau.
