 Attention is invited to the fol- lowing provision contained in the Railroai Act of March 12, 1914:
 Terminal and station grounds and rights-of-way thru the lands of the United States in the territory of Alaska are hereby granted TOT the construction of railroads, tele- graph and telephone lines authoriz- ed by this act, and in all patents for lands hereafter taken up, enter ed or located in the territory or Alaska there shall be expressed that there is reserved to the United states a right-of-way for the con structiou of railroads, telegraph and telephone lines to the extent of one hundred feet on either sloe of the center line of any such road and twenty-five feet on either slae of the center line of any such tele- graph or telephone lines, and the president may in such manner as ne deems advisable, make reservation of such lands as are or may pc useful for furnishing materials LOT construction and for stations, ter m1nals, docks and for such ofher purposes in connection with the construction and operatin of such railroad lines as he may deem nee essary and desirable"
 l. will be observed that the above provision states that rights of way are hereby granted" which means the rights vested in the gov ernment at the date of the act, and that all lands located, settled or filed upon after March 12, 1914, are subject to reserve by the govern ment for terminal and station grounds and rights-of-way for the construction of the government rail road. Any person who settles, To- cates or files upon or in any way attempts to acquire title to pub lie lands in Alaska after the date of said act (March 12, 1914), does so subject to the provisions 0f the act, and any improvements on such land that may later be need ed for right of way, station and terminal grounds, are made at the risk and hazard of the owner; and such person is liable to be re- quired to move or Yacate from such terminal, station grounds or right of-Yay without any compensation for damages or otherwise, for the work performed or improvements made.
 This notice is given at this time for the information of all concerned so that all public claim ants may be informed that they should not make improvements up on lands which they know or are reasonably well satisfied, will be taken by the government for rail read purposes.

Early Marriaee In China.

It is nothing rare in China for boys twelve to fourteen years old to marry. The physical, moral and intellectual development of the contracting par ties has nothing to do with the matter. Other considerations entirely regulate the affair.
 An old Chinese aphorism snys that the great business of life is ended when the sons and daughters are married. The Chinese parents do not care to run the danger of pOStponing the marriage of their children, especially of their sons, until after their own death.-Ex- change.

Wife Should not be Forced
to Work, But Must
Be Dependent.
MARRIAGE ALONE
DOES NOT EXEMPT.
Support Must Be Shown to
Have Been Prior to
Time of Draft.

We publish some interesting Of
fetal interpretations of the rules
governing exemption under the sec
ton applying to married men, show
ing that real cause for exemption is
dependency of the wife and children.
The mere fact Of marriage alone
does not exempt if the wife and
children have other support, and vt
must he shown that the dependents
were actually being supported by the
drafted man previous to the time
he was drafted.
The following statement has been
issued by the Provost Marshal Cen
eral, Brig. Gen. Enoch H. CroWder,
after a conference with the Secre-
tary of War:
/. A feeling has been expressed
that, IN passing on claims for dis
charge ON the ground of dependents
local boards ought, in no case, TO
refuse a discharge to married man
or to the head of a family. The Law
under which local boards act re
quires that, before such a discharge
can be granted, dependency as wei
as relationship naust be established
The matter having been presented
to the President the following are
his orders thereon:
1--WE ought, as far as practicable
to raise this new National Arm,
without creating the hardships nee
essarily entailed when the head OF
family is taken and l hope that, fol
the most part, those accepted in the
first call would be found to be meI
who had not yet assumed such re
lations.
..The selective service law make:
the fact of dependents, rather thar
the fact of marriage, the basis fol
exemption, and there are, undoUbt
e6lly, many cases within the age limi
fixed by law, Of men who are mar
ried and yet whose accumulation
or other economic surroundings ar
such that no dependency of the wifi
exists in fact. Plainly, the law doe
not contemplate exemption for thf
class of men.
"The regulations promulgated OF
June 80, 1917, should be regarded
as controlling in these cases, and tn
orders issued under that regulation
directing exemption boards to estab
lish the fact of dependents in addi
| ton to the fact of marriage ough
not to be abrogated."
Should Not Force Wife to Work.

been invited to the fact that, IN
