NorthcIiffe's Criticisms.

: Lord Northcliffe believes in shake
: ups. He is the most successful rep
= resentative in Europe of the Ameri-
: can business spirit that gives a man
an Office without prejudice, but with
an memorable demand for results.
{ The medieval idea still holds in many
transatlantic communities that high
office doesn't entail hard work, but
is a reward for work already done.
: 1t has been Lord Northcliffe's chief
labor during the war to combat this
theory of ministerial responsibility
Twice he has been wholly success
full in his crusades-first against the
late Lord Kitchener and again when
he overthrow the Asquith ministry.
, Now comes his third assault. 1t. will
be mistake TO consider this new at
tack as aimed at LloydGeorge. It is
more particularly an effort to over
throw system that confines possible
appo1ntees to office to very limited
circle and excuses sins of misman-
agement when committed by those
within the MYSTIC boundaries. The
present, therefore, is the most serious
adventure Lord Northcliffe has ever
undertaken. Inefficient individuals
may be easily overthrown. but the
establishment of complete system Of
efficiency is another matter. It Is ap.
parent that such is the ideal toward
which Lord Northcliffe is working
And because it is an ideal, there
should be no danger Of exaggerating
the seriousness of the attack which
Lord Northcliffe has made upon the
British government. His criticisms
do not mean that part Great Britain
has played in the war is declining in
value. 1t is increasing, as this weeks

TRAM ENGINE
 Is SHIPPED TO
 THE TOLONANA

In preparation for a busy season Jt fTcishtng, the people who are in charge of the Brook5-West Fork tramway are nov maEing arrange ments for work For the past sev- araI weeks work has ben going on n Lewis machine shop on an engine which will be used as motive power on the tramway. and it is now, after having been constructel. enroute to Brooks.
 The lramWay is expected to be yeIy benef cial to the merchants and mining men of Livengood creek next summer, in that it will afford a means of transportation Of supplies over a country that before was prac- tically impossible. By it's use the journey between Brooks and West Fork can be made in an hour with large loads of freight, where before it took all day for a team to make the trip, a distance of approximately eight miles.
 The tramway will be ready for operation in the spring long before the first goods from Fairbanks can reach the head of navigation on the ToloVana.

BARTHEL IN
 FROM BROOKS

Richard Barthel, the young Tolo- vana operator, who recently arrived in Fairbanks from Brooks, says that it is the consensus of opinion among the mining men of the new camp that it will produce somewhere be, tween one million and one million and half dollars during the coming mining season. The figures are based on the pay values encountered dur ing the operations this winter and on what will be done in a mining way during the sumner months About twenty-five good sized outfits will be working throughout the sum mer, according to MT. Barthel. A number of large dumps of dirt are already out on some Of the claims where the pay is certain, and more pay is still being hoisted to the sur face, in anticipation of the running of the water in the spring, at which lime all of the dumps will be washed up. It is estimated that the first spring washup will yield in the neigh borhood of s500,000.

Extra Session of
 Congress Expected
Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. B. It is the general opinion in this city that an extra session of congress will be called immediately. This is thought to be the case since the adoption of the rule limiting debates in the senate.
 It Is known that the President is very desirous of having the bills which failed of passage in tbe last congress put through tt as early a stage as is possible, This Is espe- cially true of the appropriation bills, as much of this money must be availa ble before July l.
 Secretary of State Lansing and Attorney General Gregory today ad- vised President Wilson that he had the authority to arm all American merchantmen without further au- thority from congress. This makes it unnecessary for the senate to pass the armed neutrality bill, unless the President desires the sanction of that body to such a step before talk ing it. It Is thought that If he de sires the approval of congress on this matter he will call an extra ses- sion at once.
