MANY GERMAN RESERVlSTS
 JOIN ARMY OF CARRANZA

WASHINGTON, Feb 24-lnformatlon between 200 and 300 German army reserv- ists have arrived in Mexico City during the last thirty days sheds new light on the eX- tent to which the German government has been preparing for eventualitles with the United States.
 According to this information, with which officials of the state department are under stood to be thoroughly familiar, these re servists made their way to Mexico City from various parts of Central and South America and from the West Indies. They are said to speak English and Spanish huently and to have in mind either identi-
 ing themselves with the Carranza army or with any Mexican faction willing to or ganize force to repel any troops which might be landed by the United States or Great Britain to safeguard the American and British oil fields about Tampico.
 Coupled with the persistent reports of the presence of German submarines ill the Gulf of Mexico and the mysterlously inspired proposal of General Carranza to prohibit the exportation of fuel oil and other war supplies from Mexico to the warning powers of Europe, these latest reports from Mexico City are being regarded with some serious ness
 Evidence of German ntrigues in Mexico has been accommodating since long before the severance of diplomatic relations between the United States and Germany. Ever since the return to Mexico on January of Rafael Zuburan, Carranza's s minister to Der lin, there have been growing signs of pro- German leaven at work in the Carranza government Consequently officials of the state department were not altogether taken by surprise when a week ago Carranza issued his proposal

ketchikan Wins Fioht

A Washington dispatch says that ketchl- kan has won its fight against Prince Rupert as a fish center, Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British ambassador to the United States, having advised Ottawa to make it necessary for the Grand Trunk railroad to discontinue its exclusive concession to the Prince Rupert fish houses, which, it is claimed is running the Ketchikan fish industry More than that it may be said that an agreement has now probably been made for the Grand Trunk to operate steamship from Prince Rupert to Ketchikan to take care of the American catch. The advice to Ottawa was sent by the ambassador after he had 8 conference with Secretary Redfield of the department of commerce about the pending congressional legislation prohibiting the i'm portation of fish from Canada, fresh or frozen, except under certain restrictions. and rehabiltating the American salmon in dustry on the Pacific coast. Canada desires to avoid this prohibitory legislation, and has expressed its willingness to make conces sions so that the matter will end as indi cated here

Finds a Use for Limburqer

Chief Goodetaw of the Copper river h. dians who broke into print recently by asking why the deputy United States mar shal in Europe did not put stop to the war over there" has discovered an entirely new use for limburger. Recently at Chltlna he was given taste of the odlferous stuff, and his face was study in stolidity as he munched cheese-bedaubed cracker, says 8 coast newspaper His nostrils quivered as do a rabbits while eating, and when he was through his right hand went into the proper trousers pocket and produced his poke Abstracting a silver dollar he ten dered it to the wit. "Hiyu bait You catchem dollars worth for me soon,' quoth the chief. This was two weeks ago, and yesterday he came to town with twenty lynx skins, which he traded in at local stores for phonograph records, groceries, candy and some blankets. Then he endeavored to buy some more "hiyu bait" "You know whatcha callem, heap smellum. White man put 'em on cracker Indian he put 'em on meat trap catch plenty lynx"

Railroad Work to Be Pushed

Work on the government railroad along Turnagain arm is to be pushed from both ends this summer, according to an an uouncement just made by the Alaskan en- gineering commission No particular point will be designated as the goal from either end, each district engineer having instruc- tions to do as much as possible and CO operate in the matter of distribution of sup plies. Advices from Seattle state that bids have been called for for l2,000,000 feet of bridge timbers and heavy construction lum- Der, in addition to 1000, 900 feet already or dered for the Seward division, and contracts previously let for material for other divi- sions Details as to the destination of the latest order were not given out. No fur, ther statement has been made as to the time by which the line between Seward and Anchorage will be completed but it is evi- dent from preliminary preparations that the work is to be driven ahead at the fastest gait possible. Reports from along the line show that conditions are favorable, and that the line can be opened as soon after the bridges on the Seward end are rebuilt as occasion may demand.

EARL BYERS AS AN AVIATOR ATTRACTS WIDE ATTENTION
 IN EASTERN NEWSPAPERS

In the last mail Postmaster Ansley re- ceived the following letter and newspaper clipping:
 Rochester, Feb 4, 1917. William Ansley, Iditarod:
 Dear Sir: 1 certainly cannot refrain from extending to you my congratulations for the manner in which you are to receive your mail in the future. Lots of people out here ask me what l think of 1t and l only have one answer: "The very best people from all parts of the world are in Alaska and we are able to do most any thing" And guess 1 am not far wrong. l inclose you a clipping from Chicago paper, Yours truly o. SANDERS"
 The clipping is as follows, without any attempt to reproduce the display headlines Will Deliver Alaska's Mail by Aeroplane- For $49, ,OOO Yearly, Des Moines Aviator
 Agrees to Make Two Trips Weekly
 Des Moines, Ia., Feb. 3-Earl L. Byers has one of the most unusual contracts ever let by the United States government. He has agreed to carry mail by airplane over route in Alaska at a compensation of S49, 300 annually.
 Byers will make two tri ps each week be- tween Nome and camp 38l miles inland, He will carry mail and passengers, and his service will bring the mining camp three weeks nearer the outside world.
 The country over which he will fly IS mountainous. There are no level tracts on which to make landing in case his engine should stop. In winter the snowfall is be- tween twenty-five and thirty feet deep.
 All of these possible troubles were con- sidered by Byers before he took this con- tract. On trial trip he carried four pas sengers, the weight being one thousand pounds.
 The questions arise, Has Earl been string ing somebody back in dear old Des Moines? :? Has somebody been stringing the Chicago newspaper? or Has Councilman Byers been doing stunts with an airship unbeknown to his fellow townsmen

BUTTE LABOR CONDITIONS

A news dispatch from Butte, Mont, says that postal facilities there are badly crip pied owing to the inability of the postmaster to secure clerks. The great boom in min ing caused by the high price of copper has taken every available man, and the wages paid are the highest ever paid in this dis trict. Common laborers are getting S4,j0 per day, and skilled miners proportionately higher wages. As consequence no one is willing to accept the lower wages offered by the postofice department.

ANCHORAGE LABOR UNION
 MAKES SOME SUGGESTIONS

At a regular business meeting of the Alaska Labor Union, held at Anchorage or March ,, the following resolutions, which will be forwarded to Secretary of the In terior Lane, were adopted:
 Whereas, The government of the Onltec States is engaged in the important work oi building railroad from the coast to the interior of Alaska for the principal anc prime purpose of developing the wonderful resources of the territory and providing homes and employment for the increasing population of the states of the Unlon; anc
 Whereas, In order to successfully carry out this purpose 1t IS necessary to consider the welfare of the people of Alaska, ln the 6rst instance, and of those now residing m and those who may hereafter become resi- dents of the territory; and
 Whereas It appears to Us that the prac- tice thus far pursued by the government in the construction of the railroad has not given due consideration to the importance of the matters presented in these resolu- tlons; therefore be 1t
 Resolved, by the Alaska Labor Union of Anchorage. composed of 20Oo members, 'Th2t in the employment of all classes of labor upon the government railroad m Alaska, other things being equal, Alaskans, and especially residents of the territory with wives and families dependent upon them, should be given the preference;
 That the policy heretofore pursued by the Alaskan engineering commsson m maint aiming commissary for the exclusive use and benefit of its employees, where pro- visions, clothing and supplies may be bought should be continued at cost, and especially is this considered important in view of the continually increasing cost of supplies purchased in the local markets.
 That all men engaged by the Alaskan engineering commission ln the construction of the government railroad in Alaska are 'employes' of the commission within the meaning and intent of the federal law pro vidng for compensation in case of injury or death and that this is beneficial law based on princip pies of equity and justice, and its evident purpose should not be de feated, or its benefits diminished, by any peculiar kind of employment, or form of contract used in the employment of labor.
 That the policy of the Alaskan engi neering commission in providing clean, con- 1nodious and comfortable living quarters for the employees of the commission in An chorage free of charge, should be extended as rapidly as possible to the construction camps along the line of the railroad, and should be made to include living quarters for married men on the same basis as those provided for single men.
 That copy of these resolutions be sent to the president of the United States, to the secretary of the interior, to the mem bers of the Alaskan engineering commls zion, to the delegate from Alaska in con-
