LABORERS MAKE
APPEAL TO CITY
FAILURE OF COUNCIL RE-
SUITS IN PETITION.
Ask Qualified Electors to Amend
Charter as Only Means Left by
Which They Can Obtain Living
Wage for Themselves.

Failing to secure relief upon their
appeal to Mayor Speer and the city
council wherein laborers employed on
municipal work asked for an increase
of pay from $3.50 to SO per day, a
petition was placed in circulation this
week proposing an amendment to the
city charter to be voted upon at the
May election. This proposition has
the Endorsement of the Denver Trades
and Labor Assembly and affiliated or
ganizations of the city. 1t has like
wise been approved by the Denver
Taxpayers association. A vigorous
campaign to secure signatures and
then to adopt the amendment by vote
of the people, is being conducted un-
der the auspices of the United La
borers Union, with headquarters in
room 10, Wabrach block, Fifteenth
and Lawrence streets.
The proposed amendments provide
that laborers employed on public or
municipal work either directly by the
city or by contractors, sub-contract-
ors, individuals, partnerships, asso-
Citations or corporations, shall receive
not less than SO for a calendar days
work of eight hours; that all labor
performed by man and team of two
horses on municipal work shall be paid
not less than So per day. 1t is also
provided that no team of two horses
employed on municipal work shall be
required or allowed to haul load of
gravel, sand or Stag that measures
more than one and one-haf cubic
yards. This is a humane provision to
prevent the overlooking Of teams, an
evil said TO be in existence.
There is every reason to believe that
this amendment will receive approval
at the May election.

CANDIDATE FOR SCHOOL BOARD
Ben J. Salmon, Single Taxer, Enters
Race for May Election.

Ben J. Salmon, secretary of the Col
orado Single Tax association, member
of the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks,
will be a candidate for election to the
school board at the school election,
May Z.
He is running on a platform advo-
eating addition of the science of econ
omics to the school curriculum. that
the school children may learn the re-
lation of land values to disemploy-
ment, undeserved poverty, low wages,
and high cost of living. He believes
that school children should be taught
economies so that at maturity they
will possess a fundamental knowledge
of every phase of our industrial sys-
TEN, thus making them competent to
cope with the social problems that, ac-
cording to Salmon, threaten our civ
ilization.
There is no salary paid to school
directors, but Salmon feels that the
satisfaction of helping to establish the
teaching of economies will be sufficient
compensation.

Nenana, Alaska, Feb, r, 1917.

Photographic dispatches received from the national capital this week contain the cheering promise that there will be no delay in disposing of the various appropriation bills which are now pending before con- gress, and which include the funds necessary to carry on the work of building the government railroad in Alaska. The willingness of congress to vote the necessary money has not been questioned at any time, for the men who voted on last years appropriation are still in office and undoubtedly as favorably disposed toward the en- terprise astheywere twelve months ago. But there was much less certainty that the funds would be made available during the present session of congress, in which event the resumption of work in this di- vision would have been seriously delayed. Questions of huge inn portance to the nation at large have arisen at a time usually de- voted to the consideration of ap- propriation measures, and it was feared by Alaskans that congress would be too much enerossed with new business to complete the reg ular program this month.
 Somebody has to lose. At any rate that is the conclusion which has been reached by the people of 1ditarod as the result of the failure of the postoffice department to provide adequate mail service this winter; and they are very much convinced that they are it.
 A few October magazines have found their way into Iditarod homes since the close of navigation and several Outside newspapers of an equally ancient date appear to have eluded the censor at Anchorage, but otherwise deliveries have been limited to first-class matter. The service is supposed to be weekly, with a 475-pound weight limit, but it is seldom that the carriers arrive on time, owing to storms encountered, and there is always a great reduction in weight before Iditarod camp is reached, several districtsenroute being served under the same contract.
 Tt should not be necessary declares the Iditarod Pioneer, in commenting on the situation, ''to
The Nenana news., 1917-02-17

l. But it appears that no improvements in mail service in Alaska can be secured without strenuous effort on the part of the citizens interested. This is we'll illustrated in the case of Fairbanks, where continual agitation bas re- suited in awarding emergency con- tracts which insure the delivery of all the mail all the time"
 The Iditarod paper is right. It requires agitation---lots of tito secure reforms in the North, chief ly because of our distance from the seat of authority at Washington and the fact that conditions in this country are not generally under stood at the national capital. The people of Fairbanks discovered that long ago, and as the Pioneer points out, favorable mail condi- ton existing in the Fairbanks dis trict today are the result of long and serious campaigning directed by an efficient corps of workers for the public good.
 Present indications justify the belief that many buildings will be in course of construction in Nena- na a few weeks hence. As has already been stated in these col umns, the Alaskan Engineering commission has outlined build ing program of large proportions, and work will be started the min ute funds and weather conditions permit. And there will be much activity among private property owners as we'll, several having had plans drawn for buildings which will be erected before the snow has left the ground. @*. .. Work is now in progress on the first residence building to be start ed this year, and the Commission has just completed large tool house. In addition. ground is being cleared for at least two oth- CT buildings and a score or more of prospective builders are waiting merely for congress to give the sig nal to go ahead. It will be a busy spring, and a buster summer.
 Two weeks have passed since Ambassador Gerard was recalled from Berlin, and while there is every reason to believe that the situation is still grave, telegraphic reports indicate that there is no immediate danger of becoming in- volved in war. Let us hope that we will escape it altogether. War, at best, is a terrible thing. It would bring suffering and privation to peace-loving people who are now enjoying happiness and pros perity. It would cripple the en- tire country, destroying commerce and industry and causing the loss of lives which are needed in peace full times. War might not inter- fere seriously with railroad build ing in Alaska but it is more than likely that it would be impossible to continue construction work on a large scale. It would be difficult to secure materials and supplies in required quantities, and it is

PARAFFIN CAN BE CLEANED
Do Not Throw 1t Away Because 1t
Has Become Dirty, Says Specialist
of Agricultural Department.

Paraffin that has become unclean
through usage in canning and preserv-
ing may be cleaned and reused.
Don't throw it away because dirt
and trash have become mixed with it.
Many times it can be cleaned with a
brush in cold water.
If this does not remove all the dirt,
says a specialist of the United States
department of agriculture, heat the
paraffin to boiling and strain it through
two or three thicknesses of cheese
cloth placed over a funnel, OF "a thin
layer of absorbent cotton over one
thickness of c~heesecloth may be used
as the Strainer.
One straining should be sufficient
ordinarily, but if the paratfin still is
unclean, heat and strain again. Any
paraffin lodging in the. strainer may
be recovered by heating the cloth and
pouring the hot liquid into another
strainer.

LOOKED LIKE INVERTED RAIN
Impression to Aviator at Whom
They Were Aimed.

1t will be easily understood, writes
Mr.. G. G. Grey, in "Tales of the Fly
ing Service" that before a bullet that
has been shot straight upward begins
to fall there must be a point where it
stands dead still, and that for the last
part of its upward path it travels very
slowly. One officer Of my acquaint-
ance told me, after some months Of
war, that his most curious experience
was when once, and once only, he dis
covered the exact extreme range point.
He was flying along quite peacefully
on a bright sunny morning at an alti-
tude of a little over 5000 feet, without
worrying about anything, when sudden
ly he say something bright dart past
the side Of the machine. He began to
look about him and saw, a shade be-
low him and a trif1e to one side, a
whole stream of little bright things gilt
tering in the sun.
Then he realized that he had just
struck a level that happened to be the
extreme vertical range of a machine
gun that was making uncommonly
good shooting. Other bullets from
rifles and other machine guns also
flashed into view as he flew along, and
when his eyes caught the right focus
he could follow the slow, topmost part
of their movement for a considerable
distance. "It looked" he said, "iust as
if it were raining ~UpW"rd,' and the
phenomenon was so novel that he quite
forgot for a time that the ~"raindrops"
indicated hat he was unpopular with
someone below.-Youth's Companion.
