IMPERIAL HAS
 SECOND FIRE,

Shortly after noon yesterday, the fire department was called out by an alarm turned in from the Inn perial Cigar stores warehouse on Fourth avenue. This was the sec ond alarm from there during the week
 The blaze yesterday was not seri- ous. and was put out by the use of the chemical wagon alone, causing very little damage It was caused by an overloaded stove pipe, which burnt a smaa~hole in the roof of the building.
 Fire Chief Buckley asks that ev- erybody take every precaution to prevent fires, and that especially should the stove pipes be watched and kept as free from creosote as is possible. By doing this and making sure that the safeties around the pipes are in good condition. serious fires may be avoided.

When this information was made public at Nenana. MT. Armstrong stated that the movement to stake resembled a rush by homestead seek CTS in the States only on a minia ture scale. Land was entered on for a distance of about five miles on both sides of the right of way.

MISSIONARY IS
 IN FROM TRIP

Rev. Frederick B. Drane, who is in charge of the missions of the Episcopal church in the interior. and who has his headquarters at the Chena mission, arrived in Fairbanks Tuesday afternoon from two months trip to the upper Tanana river country. He went to the up per Panama to visit the mission at Panama Crossing, being accompanied by a native guide and dog driver.
 Rev. Drane reports nothing of particular news nature from the up per river He made an attempt to ascertain what was being done in the Goodpaster country by the min ing men of that vicinity, but could learn nothing more than that the men were all doing their annual as- sessment work He also states that he heard nothing regarding new pros poets there.
 The mission at Panama Crossing is in the best of condition, accord ing to the missionary. It was sup posed that the sinking of the steamer Atlas last fall would have the effect of causing shortage of supplies at the mission but, with the exception of a very few articles of diet, such as eggs and butter, the missionaries at the mission have wanted for nothing. All of their more staple supplies were sent up earlier last summer on the Atlas, consequently they were fortunate in not having much on the boat when she was sunk
 In a way, however, the mission was loser by the sinking of the boat, for the Atlas carried lumber, nails, etc. for the new mission building which was to have been put up at Panama Crossing this winter. But the building will be constructed next summer after further supply can be sent therefore the loss did not materially hamper the work which is being done at the mission.
 All of the white men encountered by MT. Drane on his trip seem to be getting along in fine shape. Jim Satterwaite is living on the steamer Samson, which was laid on the bank of the Panama near the Little Ger schel since the summer of 1914,

NEW YORK, Jan. 3l-Fran. cis Connolly. the Washington broker throtgh whom 1t is al legged that the leak of President Wilson's peace note to Wall street took place, and partner of R. ". Boiling. President Will sons brother-in-law, testified be- fore the house rules committee today. He was on the stand fully two and one-half hours, during which time he was given an un- merCiful grilling by the attorney for the Investigating committee. but the committee failed to learn anything of d definite nature from him. If a crime had been committed, he said. it was his fault, not the fault of MT. Boil ing, Mrs. Wilson's brother and his business partner.
 Connolly did not deny that he had given 4 F. Hutton & Co.,. of New York. an accurate re- sume of the Presidents peace note ten hours before it was given out by the state depart ment for publication. In his an swers to the questions of the Investigating attorney he man. aged to avoid a direct reply con- corning his informant regarding the note, merely saying that he gained the information he sent to New York on December 20 from gossip, and the speech he heard President Wilson make on December g. He further stated that he dealt in no stocks what ever on the information which he is supposed to have received, and that all of his customers regarded it&so lightly that they lost money by not investing when ,uey were %tipped off"

GOO DOLLARS
 PUT IN SAFETY
 DEPOSIT VAULT

Recently he committee in charge of the Charity Social turned over to its secretary. Wallace Cathcart. s15.- Q00 of the special issue of currency which will be used for the big event. Knowing the eagerness of the public 10 get possession of some of this money. and realizing that this amount or money laying around loose would probably be unsafe he immediately placed it in safety de posit
 This money will be good for any thing in the hall on the night of the show. With each $1.5O ticket pur- chased fifteen dollars of this money will be given, instead of six dollars as was planned heretofore. When this amount has been exhausted, more of the currency can be pur- chased from the cashier at a rate of twenty dollars carnival money for one dollar of real money. This is the cheapest rate of exchange ever known; even in Mexico it doesn't get this cheap. Nor will the money spent be thrown away. as for every dollar spent dollar and a half in fun and amusement is provided. or if you are a sport and want action for your money, don't overlook this bet, for everything will be square and chances even. In addition to this, the cold cash that is taken in goes to a cause that is worthy of everyone's support.
 RehearsaIs for the show have been under full head for several days. The chorus is being thoroughly drill ed, cabaret numbers are being gone over daily, various acts and stunts are being worked out. and the com mittee is making all preparations to give one of the biggest and best exhibitions that has ever been pulled off in the camp. The nature of th" different features is being carefully kept secret and no one knows defi nitely how much, or what is being F,- I,,t hot hoD leaked out and from the makeup of the various committees, an unquali- fled success is certain.
 There will not be a dull moment. The stage will be a credit to a "big time" vaudeville show house, danc- ing in the big hall, a social gather ing in the big down stairs front room, an up-to date cabaret, with numbers new and startling, all of them original, upstairs, where re- treatments will be obtainable all evening. Attractions have been pro yided that all the patrons of the show can partake of and will be a source of much amusement
 From all indications, the town is going to turn out en masse on the evening of February 10. The booster committee, consisting of every able bodied citizen of the community, has made thorough search for ham mers," and there is no knocking go ing on at all. The committee in charge say that census taker would only have to count the noses at the Auditorium on this occasion to as habitants in the town.
