TOMMY MUST NOT FAIL TO
 GIVE SALUTE

LONDON, Sept,-In new series of stringent instructions, the war of flee notifies the British officer that he must not allow himself to relax the regulations governing saluting and dress. The new instructions in clude the following points:
 officers are to be most puncili- ous in returning a salute, and should show on-commIssioned officers and men approaching them that they are expecting and are ready to return a salute. Officers slackness in this respect is the cause of many men failing to salute.
 When not on duty or parade, of ticers under rank of field officer will salgte all officers of field rank and upwards Field general officers will salute their superiors in rank.
 "Omcers stationed at home must always wear uniform except when engaged in sports. Any style of uniform deviating from the regula- ton is prohibited.
 officers in uniform must not smoke pipes in the streets or public places. Canes must be carried

EAGLES WILL BUY LIBERTY
 LOAN BONDS

Aerie No. 1037, Fraternal Order of Eagles, will invest S4,OO0 in the sec ond Liberty loan just announced by the officials of the United States government. The decision to do so was reached at the regular weekly meeting of the members of the Aerie held last night at Eagle hall. An Eagle treasury warrant for the amount will be drawn tomorrow and the $4,OOO turned over to the First National bank, which is receiving sub scriptions to the loan.
 Another matter of importance de cided at the meeting last night was that the Eagles will shortly start an active membership campaign. The membership of the organization is already a large one, and the lodge is one of the most stable for it's size  in the United States, but members realize that there are many men in the vicinity of Fairbanks who are not Eagles who should belong to the lodge, consequently the cam paign is to be inaugurated
 The campaign for membership will be conducted partly through the medium of advertising. At the meet ing last night a membership cam paign committee was appointed which will have entire charge of the acmpaign. It is composed of P. J. Rickert, G. D. Drake and N R. King.

To exempt able-bodied onice-hold CTS and require young men engaged in business or occupied with various professional duties to serve is d fea- ture of the law so unjust and so inequitable as to invite adverse criti- cism.
 It may be that practically every member of congress has one or more relatives engaged in the government service and that this fact conspircd to have them write into the law spe- cial protection for their own. But whether this improper motive actuat ed the lawmakers or whether it was merely that they provided for such exemptions thoughtlessly they should correct the law and make military service universal with no exceptions but such as are extended to the young men of the country engaged in civil pursuits.
 If we are to have universal ser vice, let it be universal and not subject to such attacks as are af- forded through the favors shown those now on the public payrolls,

SILVER CAMP
 ROOMS AGAIN

SAN BERNARDINO, Cal, Sept Calico once bonanza silver camp of California, is showing signs of life since silver took it's upward trend in the money marts of America.
 Calico was one of the famous camps of the early eighties and is said by the mining men to have reached it's zenith in 1885, when silver sold at $113. Then that metal began to go lower, and soon the camp fell into silence; the miners and those who made their gains from the workers all drifted to other camps, with the exception of a hand ful of grizzled men whose faith in their camp and their mines never waned through long years of inac- tivity. They have waited on at their camp, in the hills near Dagget, in this county.
 Calico was so named because of a peculiar rock formation in the sur rounding hills that gave spotted eff feet to the slopes. It was a low grade producer, with vast ore bodies. The Silver King" and the Gar field' were it's great mines, with the Waterloo" an immense low grade producer. Some of the early for tunes of California came from it's shafts and tunnels, notably that of Governor Robert w. Waterman.
 Since the silver market has shown improvement, engineers and mining men have visited the old camp; they are beginning to place modern ma chinery, and a new cyanide plant is now handling 400 tons of tailings from the old dumps each month. There are 2,000,000 tons of tailings there, so the mill has a fair run in sight. Mining men say that with improved extraction methods, with the substitution of automobiles and light trucks for delivery to a nearby railroad instead of the old time pack trains and with the general advance in mining science, the old ore bodies can be made to pay fair returns
 The camp may "come back" as producer, they say, but it will never be what it was. The hotel in early days was called the "Hyena House. and the rooms were dug out of a big rock on the hillside. The widest license prevailed, with games of chance running day and night, and all the amusements of the frontier supplied in plenty. Modern laws, faster transportation, and better com munication, will help to build the camp for business, but will keep it within the law of the books instead of that of the frontier

EMPRESS EUGENE,
 LIVELY WAR FAN

ALDERSHOT, ngland-During the frequent visits of King George and Queen Mary to Aledrshot to re- view and inspect troops, they always calls on the former Empress Flu genie of France at Farnborough Hill Despite the latter's ninety-one years, her mentality is alert as ever, says the Liverpool Post, and she keeps in touch with the war news as few women of half her age do.
 Those who know her say that her greatest hold on life is the fact that she has so strenuously made up her mind she will not pass into another world until the German invader is driven from France with no hope of returning.

RICH MEN GRAB $l A YEAR JOBS
 TO AVOID SERVICE IN ARMY

A news dispatch from Washing ton, D. C.. says:
 Eyading oonscription by volunteer ing their services in the civilian de partments of the government is the latest manifestation of patriotism on the part of rich men, their sons. and the sons of many other influential people.
 The government has evolved d scheme by which it pays a host of people a nominal salary of $1 d year, thus placing them on the gov ernment payroll.
 It is said that large portion of the personnel of Captain Goethals' shipbuilding corporation is composed of men on the dOllar-a-year basis. Food Controller Hoover announces that he will not have a paid em- ployee in the administration of the
 
 vast duties coming under his depart ment.
 There is a provision in the con scription act providing that men en- gagged on work requiring expert ser vices may be exempted from the draft Of course the government work is all expert work.
 During the last two weeks there has been a rush to Washington of hundreds of physically perfect wealthy young men of conscriptiye age, eagerly anxious to get on the dollara-year payroll. College men and sons of rich fathers predOmi- nate in the dollar-a-year patriots. The war department points out that the criticism of the dollar-a-year sci ons of the rich is unwarante,d be cause of the automatic fact that no one but a rich man could work for a dollar a year,
 When the conscrptive law passed congress it was predicted by those who opposed the law that the rich mems sons would find way to evade military service. The govern ment's dollar-a-year contingent is the first rich mems device to exempt wealthy patriots"
 Commenting on this subject, the staid, unemotonal Valdez Prospect or says:
 tion in the United States because the terms of the conscription act exempt from military service those who are holding government, state, or municipal offices.
 It would seem from the provisions of that exemption clause that the bureaucrats of the country had had written into that law a provision es- pecially favorable to them.
 Just why an employee of the post al service, of the revenue service, of the immigration service, of the agri- cultural department or of the various other departments of federal or local government should escape military duty will require more explaining than is had through considering the fact that he is now a government employee. Certainly his services are not indispensable, because there is no man in any branch of the gov ernment whose situation cannot be filled by persons who are unable to meet the strict requirements of a physical or mental examination or | who are in excess of the military age.

WHAT'S GOING ON OVER THE
 TERRITORY


 On her southbound trip recently the steamer Alaska took on at Cor doya 2,10O tons of copper ore, 14,00O cases of canned salmon and 1000 cases of canned clans.
 Captain E. A. Ludlow, of Nome, died recently at the Pioneers home Captain Ludlow was one of the pio- neer whalers of the Arctic, and even whaled in the North Pacific during the years of the Civil war
 Ralph M. Pederson, son of Rever- end Pederson, formerly of Seward, where he graduated from the high school, and for the past two years student of journalism at the Uni yersity of Washington, has taken the editorship of the Skagway Alaskan.
 Charles k. Ford, of the District of Columbia, has been appointed clerk in the Washington office of the Alaskan Engineering commission.
 Another airplane has been seen by several people in the vicinity of Dorglas island, and citizens are at a loss to account for the presence of the machine.
 Joe Riau, an oldtime Dawsonite, who is working on the Williams creek copper mines, recently located a fox nest within 800 feet of where he was working. He captured the inmates, securing two fine black fox pups and four cross pups, which were sent to the Northern Fox Farm at Dawson.
 The northern section of SutheaSt- ern Alaska this year experienced one of the largest runs of salmon in the history of the canning business in that section. The fish were running in such immense schools that even the increased number of canneries opera ting this year were unable to handle the catch and were forced to close their traps for several days at a time.
 Juneau people are elated over the report that the Union Iron works, a subsidiary of the Bethlehem Steel company, has leased waterfront property at the territorial capital, where marine ways will be built for repair of ships of large tonnage. The plant at San Francisco is over- flowing with orders for new con struction and is unable to handle all repair business offered.

 All mo- ming We wound along; our progress was slow, for there was much traffic on the roads and we had two villages to pass through. We could not take the direct north and south route to our destination, for that would entail too much cross ing of the main lines of transport.
