The Vernal Equinox occurs this afternoon at 5:3S p. m., at which time the sun crosses the equator ern. The equinox generally occurs on the goth of March, sometimes on the 21th, but may occur as early as the 18th. Since the year is 365 1-4 days long, nearly, the equinox occurs about hours later from year to year, and in order to keep it as nearly as possible to the same date, leap year is introduced every 4th year, which sets it back a whole day.

 MT. J. Downing the janitor of the schools brought the matter up of the matter of the taxes on his property back of the hospital. The assessed values were exhorbitant and he asked a reduction.

JUNEAU, March 19.-The Senate is enjoying an epidemic of bill intro ducing to make up for lost time. Nineteen alone were brought in on Saturday some of them a comical admixture of the sublime and the ridiculous that need not be men toned.

After a good look at the audience ne waded right into his subject by wanting the fire depart mcnt cut down by one man in the summer, and the city health officer and the city attorney eliminated. He would pay the city attorney nominal salary of a dollar a month or so. He felt that this pruning had been delayed too long.
 M'Allister objected to any such reduction in the staff of the fire department and showed by a pro- cess of elimination known to the higher mathematicians that if you cut down the fire department one man you abolished the whole bunch.
 Burgh suggested leaving the mat ter of the axe to the new ,council, and this being agreed to, the coun- Gil adjourned.

:" In addition to this, large number

Coal Magnates Uneasy
Failure to procure coal impairs the

to impair their means of sustenance
and their financial ability to assist in
providing for the national defense.
"There is no question but that this

dealers Of the country are beginning to
think about its possibilities. In some
cases, they are getting together in an
