(By Mrs. Emma c. Le Fevre) Oh land of mystery, oh great enigma of the faroff Where winters cold and silence regned supreme Until the heart of man grew sick with longing For the summer gleam of sunshine to come forth And burst the frozen bands that prisoned fast the Golden sands of placer grounds and shores of Arctic
 Seasi Oh lordly Yukon flowing to the Coast From whose broad waters many streams diverge Reckoning to fortune all the mighty host Of women and adventurous men Who faced starvation, cold and scourge of scuryy Ere they reached deserted homes again! Oh dazzling glaciers, great Alaska's boast With wide, deceitfu Assures deep; The tombs of still another eager host Over whose stffened bodies cebergs rolled Holding their death in awful mystery! Far dear Alaska, lost in gloomy space, The home of Eskmos, and dread Shamans, Whose spirits left their bodies and roamed apace (Holdng in terror other savage clans) Cursing the coming of the alien That took possession of their native lands.
 NEW ALAS A Oh vast Alaska! Mistress of two Seas The North Pacific with it's gentle breeze That oft coquetting with the Arctic Ocean Meets icy gales with turbulent commotion Hail dizzy mountain With sheltered spots where flowers grow Amid eternal ice and And feathered songsters make their nests. Singing love ardent sweetness rare, To placid listening of wolf and fox and bear. See how the gladness of it's great divides And the vast boulders of it's mountain sides, Pour out their silver, copper coal and gold It's their finny tribes all yield, It's isles great valued furs unfold And clustering garnets bushing rosy red, Are wrenched from their hard and finty bed To form coronet for beauy's head See cities rising from our plains and coast Luxurious homes with all devices science yet car
 boast,
 All linked together by wonderous wireless band That stretches every and land Hail Stewards foy," Hail the block of ice" For less than two decades have paid it's price Of seven milons-more than hundred fold; And coming centuries will still surprises hold Greater than precious metals, furs and gold. Millions of men and will live content And bless great Seward for their continent

CONSERVE YOUR PROPERTY

The campaign to reduce the annual fire loss in the United States is of the great and necessary conservation movements of times Already the statistics show that results have been attained But today the losses by preventabe fires in the United States appalling They represent an manual waste which should be checked by all means
 Does the average citizen careless of conditions that lead fires and the destruction of property ever stop to consider that there goes up in smoke and flame every year in the United States and Can ada the equivalent of nearly two hundred million bushels of wheat the price of several years ago? A few years the total was higher. Last $16S.s05,l00 of valuable property in these two countries absolutely destroyed And that show ing is distinct improvement that for 1914. for instance. when the losses amounted to $245, $50
 The has brought home to every more clearly than the sin and folly of national It is the duty of the people to act according this quickened realization They should not only do their best to conserve everything needed in but also

The independent cannery and fresh fish compan- ies of Alaska, who interested in the shipment of their products from Alaska South rather than in steamship lines, strongly favored amendment to coastwise shipping law that would prevent it's being applied to Alaska. Among those who ob- jected to permitting Canadian vessels to enter the Alaska trade was the Glacier Fish Company, which haSi buyer and office at Juneau.
 The following telegrams submitted at a hearing on the subject conducted by the Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committees
 We earnestly request your influence to have Alexander resolution permitting foreign vessels enter American coastwise trade amend ed it will not apply to Pacific coast. While foreign steamers would be unable to furnish canneres and other Alaska industries adequate service they would displace American steamers whose service Alaska vitally needs, and thus greatly hamper and delay movement of our sal mon which is important to country as we'll as to ourselves. Canadian coaswise privilege is useless to American steamers, but American coastwise privilege is of immense value to for eign steamers. American steamers serving Al aska too small for foreign service, there fore government would secure no benefit from permitting foreign vessels to enter this trade while results would be disastrous to American lines Alaska and ourselves We hope you will every effort to secure de- sired amendment, which request is made by in dependent packers of the greater portion of Pillar Bay Packing Co.,, Deep Sea Salmon Co, P E.

It is generally admitted the war must be decided on the West front Germany has not been able to put up successful offensive that front in over two years But later she must come to grips there for the final and decisive struggle And when the British French and American armies get their fingers on her throat for the death grip they will make her give up the booty she has seized in Russia, Rumania and elsewhere.

There has been a story pub- lished referring to the killing of her husband by Mrs. Catherine Hartwig in Rutherford, N. J. The article was inaccurate in that it referred to Mrs. Hart wig as a Christian Scientist. The Christian Scientists of Rutherford, N.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-Cardi- nal Gibbons has issued a state ment in which he urges subscrip- tions to the new Liberty Loan, even if made in the face of personal sac rifices.
