Hill Is Assistant District Attorne
WHY HE COULDN'T SEE

A correspondent of the London Times, writing from the western front last spring, said:
 "It was a most wickedly cold day of all the wicked winter, and freezing iron hard. The snipng officer, going his rounds, came upon Tommy on observation duty, just under the parapet, edging the highest point thereabouts, and overlooking huge mine crater in No Mans Land. He had his eye glued to q periscope, and enfladed as he was, by a very assassin of a wind, looked the most forlorn, frozen and abjectly mis- erable object on earth.
 See anything?' inquired the officer.
 See anything?' Tommy repeated sar- casticaly without looking around and un- aware that he was speaking to an officer, 'Wiv yer blnkin eyes a-runnin' and yer blinkn' nose runnin', and yer bllnkin tin at a-tumbling every minute over your per ishn' nose and the blighted periShscope frog up wiv mud at the bloomln' peep ole 'ow the blazes is brighter to see heny think?'"

ALASKA AIRPLANES

Alaska has been too remote from Amerl- can war preparations to sult Its patriotic citizens, but the war news has been fol lowed closely, and territorial newspapers have devoted much space to it in response to the public demand national guard regiment is in process of organization, and citizens are to register willingly under the conscription law, but Alaska has not found opportunity to do all for the nation that it would like to do.
 Uncle Sans recent order to Juneau citi- zens for million feet of clear Alaska spruce for airplane construction thus brings pleas ure to all the people of the territory
 Alaska spruce is the ideal wood for the airplane, light and strong, and probably the best for this particular purpose. The gov ernment is to commence building 2O,0OO or 3009O of these machines at once, for use in France, and they are to have an impor- tant part in the final decision of the war Alaska forests are capable of furnishing un- limited quantities of the wood desired, and it's mills will be utilized to the fullest ex- tent The great war thus reaches out its finger and touches the wilderness of the North Before it shall have ended the will derness may contribute the deciding factor in the great struggle.

RESPONSE OF FARMERS
 TO PRESIDENTS APPEAL

WASHINGTON, July 9.-That President Wilson's appeal for larger crops than were ever raised before in the history of the United States in 1917 did not fall on deaf ears is evidenced by the report of crop conditions received from all parts of the country by the department of agriculture. The reports show that bumper crops have been raised or are being raised everywhere, and that the output of the soil this year will be approximately one billion more bushels of the principal food crops than ill 1916 The largest increase is noted in corn, of which fully a half billion more bushels will be raised this year than last. The other half billion increase is from bumper crops of other food cereals and garden products raised chiefly in home gardens, the latter a direct answer to the appeal of the President. Wheat shows the smallest increase of any crop, for the reason that there was no war in sight at the time the crop was planted last fall
 At the time war was declared President Wilson issued an appeal to the American farmer saying that the fate of the war and of the nation rested upon him and his abil-
 to raise crops. The answer to his dec laration is evidenced in the reports to the department

During the June quarter the marshals office disbursed S63, l749S, and last year for the same quarter it spent S4S,715.5O For the whole fscal year 1917 the marshal disbur3ed S223, ,SS8.75, The disbursements by quarters were as fol lows: September quarter, $63,660.01; De cember quarter, s49, l5999 April quarter, S46, ,39277; June quarter, S63,174.98.

The wife of Stepan, Negolia Stepan com mitted suicide the morning after the crime. Nikolai beat Stepan to death with a club. A daughter, Iga child by Negolia's first marriage, survives. Marshal Brown expects the murderer to make his way to knlk where he was born. Nikolai comes from a warning family, his father having murdered the storekecper of an old trading company at Knik several years ago, for which he paid the death penalty.

Word was received in Seward recently that L. Undurich, an insane man from Unalaska, while being transported to the Morningside asylum, in Oregon, in charge of Deputy Marshal C. W. Mossman of An chorage, and three guards, escaped from the steamer Mariposa on June 23 while the ship was between Seward and Valdez by crawl ing through the porthole of his stateroom, and was drowned. There were two other in sane patients aboard being taken to the sanitarium Undurich was in irons at the time of the escape. He was a man of such slender build that he found little difficulty in squeezing through the porthoe.

Gutter to Aid Reuistration

The coast guard cutter Unelga, Captain Dodge commanding touched at Seward on July 12 en route to Valdez to secure mili- tary registration supplies, after which it was to make a tour of the canneries to the west ward to register the men of military age according to the Seward Gateway of July l2 The Unalga's trip for registration will take a considerable burden of responsibility off the shoulders of the clerk of the court, and insures the registration of hundreds of employees of the canneries who otherwise would probably escape registration. Owing to the infrequent mails to the westward, particularly the Bristol Bay section, it would be almost impossible under the circum- stances to get the necessary registration sup plies to other points before the end of the period set for registration in the territory, and in many instances the cannerleS would be closed and the men gone before the registration officials could get action.

The government requested that the men return to work pending arbl- tration, but because the company refused to allow certain men whom they termed "agitators" to resume work, the request was not complied with, the miners stating that they will not return until all are taken back, United States troops are stationed at the mines. and order prevails

and for that reason great interest attaches to the nugget owned by Lowell, of ten or twelve grains, which was cleaned up with the gold on Dime creek. The nugget IS worth in the vicinity of dollar. There are many fine grains of platinum mixed with the dust on Dime creek, but none so far larger than this one has been found. The extreme value of platinum makes even the relatively small quantity of platinum dust found in Dime a somewhat valuable by product of the yellow metal industry in those parts Its characteristic color, sheen and weight are unmist akable for any other metal In appearance it resembles piece of white iron pyrites more than anything else
