STRANGE WAR INCIDENT

One of the strangest incidents of the war was the recent Scotch English raid southeast of Arrss, says a London dispatch First, second and third line German trenches were entered, almost unopposed. The stormers declare that, despite $. o. S." flares, the Germans did not receive endorsements or artillery aid Therefore those in the trenches suddenly disappeared in the dugouts, which the British bombed and blew up along the 2,OO0 yards of front involved. A Scottish officer who participated in the raid declared he did not see single German, and did not hear a single machine gun nor sniper's rifle, although he sat on the parapet of an enemy third line trench, smoked cigarette and strolled leisurely back to his own trenches The raid followed a tive-hour smashing bombardment, and was executed under cover of smoke as well as shell fire barrage.

TUSKS OF MASTODONS
 PLENTIFUL ON BOOB CREEK

While in the Tolstoi district a week or so ago Cyril Wood made arrangements for shipping an immense mastodon tusk, eight and a half feet long to a friend in San Francisco who is interested in such objects. While not of extraordinary length, the specl- men is in good state of preservation.
 The large number of tusks and teeth oi these prehistoric animals found on Boob creek has been the subject of frequent com ment. Mir Wood says that they are of such common occurrence that no attempt is made to preserve them. They are frequently encountered in the workings of Riley & Mounier, on Boob creek, and in the drifts there is pungent odor which is attributed to the ages-old remains of the mammoths found there While not offensive, like the odor of recently -decayed animals, the smell is quite strong, and permeates the whole atmosphere.

MILITARY COMPANY FORMED
 BY COMMISSIONER RIGGS

At a largely attended meeting held in the drafting room of the general office building of the Alaskan engineering commission on Wednesday evening, preliminary steps were taken toward forming an engineer company for service in the States or elsewhere In the event of war, says the Nenana News Of February 10.
 The meeting was called to order by Thomas Riggs, Jr., member of the Alaskan engineering commission, who explained briefly the manner of organization and the status of such company in the army He said that Nenana was the first town ID the territory to anticipate call for volun teers, and that he hoped to see Alaska first among the units to be accepted, for he felt that Northerners would prove invaluable to the army. He explained further that it would be impossible to do more than organ ize at this time, since it would require con siderable time to train and otherwise pre- pare for service.
 MT. Riggs said that he stood ready to give up his position to enter the service of his country as a member of the proposed com pany, and numerous others of those present expressed themselves in like manner, spirit of intense patriotism prevailing throughout the meeting
 When the list was presented for signatures eighty seven put their names down. and sev eral have signed the roster since, bringing the total up to ninety-one. The list will be kept open until the full quota of 160 names have been secured.
 Immediately following the meeting MT. Riggs wired Secretary of War Baker offer ing the services of the new company, but no reply has as yet been received.

REMARKABLE PRISON STORY

Jesse Pomeroy, who has been for forty one years in solitary confinement in the state prison at Charlestown, has been granted equal privileges with other prison CTS by the state executive council, says the. Boston Herald. Convicted of murder at l5, Pomeroy two years later was locked up. in a cell so that he might not gaze on his fellow men, and was barred as far as pos sible, from human comp panionship.
 Now, at the age of 57, Pomeroy will move into 8 cell where he can see passers-by, will be allowed to exercise with other prisoners, sit with them at the church services and at the prison entertainments, and will have such light work in the prison shops as hls somewhat enfeebled health will permit.
 Pomeroy was convicted of the brutal mur- der of two children, following series of degenerate acts which had terrorized the South Boston and Dorchester districts of this city. He was sentenced to be hanged, commuted to solitary imprisonment for life On September 7, 1876, he was placed in his solitary cell.
 Reports of sensational attempts to escape became public at frequent intervals, His mother, until her death two years ago never relaxed her efforts to secure his pardon, and was allowed to visit her son regularly
 When Pomeroy began his sentence he was poorly educated Now he can read in seven languages and at the age of 57 is studying. Arabic.
 He has been diligently studying law as it bears on his case. Beyond his attempts to escape he has been quiet and model pris- oner

TERRITORIAL JURY LAW MAY CONSTITUTE OBSTACLE
 TO HOLDING COURT HERE

Attention is being called by the news papers of Fairbanks to the law passed by the territorial legislature two years ago. en- titled "An act to prevent professional jur- ors' serving as such in the district court, :" which provides that
 No person shall be qualified to serve as a grand or petit juror in the district courts of Alaska who shall have served on grand jury, or on 6 regular panel of a petit jury, in the district court within two years next before such juror is examined on his volr dire. It shall be sufficient challenge for cause to any juror in the district court that he has been called as 0 talesman or on an open venire, and served more than three times as juror within the preceding two years before such challenge"
 The law was passed, as its title implies to get rid of the socalled professional jury man. J. E. Clark, clerk of the district court of the Fourth division, is quoted as saying that the act Ifs not difficult to comply with in the Fairbanks term of court, but at the lower river. where there are not 30 many men, it becomes difficult for the court off cials to round up enough men who are quail fled to serve"
 The term flower river" as used by the clerk, implies Ruby and lditarod, Last sum- mer, when the court officials were here, this question was frequently discussed, and 1t was intimated that the law might operate to prevent the holding of court terms in Iditarod in the future.
 Question of Great Importance In view of the fact that the decision to hold no term of court here this summer would work great hardship on this com- munity it is a matter of much concern to the people of this district While there IS little doubt in the minds of local residents that the business of the court would not be hampered by lack of jurymen, still the de- cison as to the holding of court rests with the court itself.
 The present outlook is that there will be several grand jury cases to come up thls summer, and besides this, there will be the usual number of civil cases some of much importance. Should witnesses, litigants at torneys and others be compelled to attend court at Fairbanks or even at Ruby, great hardship would be entailod. Besides, many cases which would come before the court if the term were held here would have to be postponed.
 Legislature Should Be Appealed To Should it be found that the court officials entertain the opinion that the business of the court, if held here, would be hampered by the application of the professional jury law to such an extent that they should con- sider term of court here inadvisable, the citizens of this community should immedi- ately appeal to the territorial legislature, now in session in Juneau for the repeal of the objectionable law.
 It is generally felt that great injustice would be done to the people here by con- polling them to transact their court busi- ness at a point hundreds of miles away, especially in a country where transporta alton is so difficult and uncertain,

STATE INSURANCE
IS LESS COSTLY
WISCONSIN CIV ES CON
elusive PROOF OF THIS.
Expense of Administering State Fund
Is 2 Per Cent as Against Sc Per
Cent for the Private In
surance Companies.
Especial Corrr.pondenceO

MADISON. Wis. Nov. l2.-Fire in
surance companies that have been
making a desperate but apparently
losing fight to abolish the Wisconsin
fund in which the state insures its
own buildings, have been confronted
with significant comparison of costs.
The fund has been in existence since
1908 In the fourteen years ending
January l last. the fund collected
premiums totallinC 5000, ,4s6, and paid
out in losses on state property
s5S2 900.
The premiums were collected on a
rate which was 60 per cent of that
charged by private companies, max
ing a saving to the state in premiums
of over S400. 900 in addition to the sur
plus of S26,100 now on hand. The
expense of administering the fund for
the Il years was but S11,467. or less
than per cent Of the premiums col
lected.
The expenses and profits of private
insurance companies on the fire in
surance business Of the whole state
of Wisconsin for the last 10 years is
shown to have been approximately 56
per cent of the premiums collected.
Advocates of workmen's health in
surance who insist that private profits
must be prohibited N any successful
plan are making active use of this
striking difference between per cent
and 56 per cent in cost of operation.
What is true of fire insurance in this
respect. they contend, is similarly true
in casualty and health insurance. The
Legislative investigating commission
in Massachusetts. they are pointing
out. recently reported that it cost
&c % cents to carry a dollar thru the
stock company system from employer
to employee. while the cost under the
state mutual system is but Il cents.
In any form of public insurance. mu-
tual health and compensation, as well
as fire insurance on public BUILDINGS,
it is claimed. the social purpose is best
served in the degree to which excess
i've and burdensome costs and private
profits are eliminated.
