LAST OF MAILS NOW ON THE WAY
 TRAIL BREAKING
Three Northern Commercial Company Stages Are Now Enroute From
 Chitina.

FAIRBANKS, April 26.-The last Outside mail, of the winter schedule, is now enroute to the Interior, hay ing left Chitina on the Northern Commercial company mail stage day before yesterday. The stage also has a large shipment of express and eight passengers.
 There are now three mails on the road, the nearest one having report ed from Little Delta today. They are all making slow time, owing to the softness of trails and overflows
 Trail conditions also have rendered mail deliveries between Fairbanks and Nenana and other lower river points very uncertain, and it is pos sible that much of the mail now enroute from the Outside will be held up here pending the opening of navi- gation~
 The Roland stage is scheduled to leave for Nenana tonight, but it is considered doubtful whether it will be able to make another trip.

WATCHERS READY
 FOR STAR EVENT
 WHEN |CE MOVES
Commission Whistele Will Inform Town When Flag Pole Starts ..
 Down Stream.

Nenanaites, Attention! Official word has been issued from head quarters that now all is set for the big event of the going out of the ice. The pole in the ice has been placed, the wires connected up, the clock regulated, bets made and now the whole town has settled down to state of suspense, that flor prolonged thrills resembles the excitement of worlds baseball series or the anti cipation of the Kentuck Derby.
 To the men of the North the event looms up as one of the greatest sport ing events of the year, and outside of possibly the All-Alaska Sweep stakes for dog teams at Nome, this event creates more of the traditional care-free, take-a-chance atmosphere peculiar to Alaska than any other event. Each breakup in this country is like each separate mining venture, replete with features all its own. No two seem alike. If, last year the ice moved early, in slow, spirit les way, the law of averages, indi- cates that the present season should see a later breakup with a repetition of the traditional spectacular fea- lures known to song and story.
 All the necessary arrangements for registering the official time of the breakup have now been completed, and the blast of the whistle at the Commission power plant will herald the great event in due course of time.
 A stake bearing a flag has been firmly imbedded in the ice on the bosom of the river, to which a taut No. IA wire leading to the stiff leg derrick on the dock, is attached. On this derrick there is also a switch which is connected by wire to bell in the power house, with a trip at tachment from the bell to the clock.
 At the end of the taut wire lead ing from the stake on the ice to the stiff leg of the derrick on the dock, there is attached hook which SUD- ports a weight attached to the handle of the switch on the stiff leg of the derrick. The stake on the ice is set 50 feet upstream, and when the ice has moved 100 feet the taut wire will break, releasing the weight at tached to the handle of the switch and throw it.
 This will have the effect of auto maticaly ringing the bell and stop ping the clock in the power house at the same time; and the engineer who happens to be on shift at the tinme will blow the whistle, which may be a second or two late.
 MT. H. B. Joseph has entire charge of the clock in the power house and satisfies himself daily as to its cor rectness. No one else is allowed to have anything to do with the clock unti' after the breakup.

slowly and faintly. then swiftly and vividly First he saw vast field of golden jewels studded with red, crim- son and green stones; the air was filled
 with a wonderful fragrance; rare flowers and the irridescent sfluttering wings of butterflies passed before him.
 Then came a vast revolving cylinder covered with mother Of pearl. over which played profuse and various images, living arabesques. Then the vision became more vague, dissolyinS into waves of light and of shadows flushed with violet, over which played floating draperies and feathery forms.
 Very different was the reaction of the redskin. His experiences are best described in his own words:
 After 1 have take twelve peyote |
 saw a mountain with roads leading to-
 the top and people dressed in white going up these roads. I got very dizzy
 and I began to see all kinds of colors
 and arrows fly all around me. I be-
 gan to perspire very freely. I asked to be taken outdoors. At that time it
 was twenty degrees below zero. I felt better when l got out of doors. When
 I went in again I began to hear voices, | just like they came from all over the | ceiling, and 1 looked around in the
 room and began to hear women sing | ing in there; but the women were not allowed to sing in the meeting us- | ually so this was kind of strange After eating 36 of these peyote 1 got | just like drunk only more so, and l 1 felt kind of good, but more than when | I drink whiskey; and then after that | I began to see a big bunch of snakes crawling around in front of me, and
 a feeling like as if I was cold came
 over me. The secretary of the Sacred l Peyote Society was sitting near me, and I ask him if he heard young kit | tens. It sounded as if they were right I clcse to me; and then I sat still for a
 long time and I saw a big black cat coming toward me, and 1 felt him just like tiger walking up on my legs to- ward me; and when I felt his claws jumped back and kind of made sound
 as if 1 was afraid, and he asked me to
 tell him what was the matter, so I told
 him after a while. I did not care to
 tell at first; but I made up my mind then, after what saw, that would not take another one of those peyoteS if they gave me a $10 bill.
 I Unfortunately, most of the peyote : eaters are not reformed by a single cx- perience as was this Indian. The varied and terrible dreams have a fascina. II tion that most men find it hard to re- sist. It is stated that Indians wht have become addicted to peyote n, [ longer care for whiskey. They hay, ] found heap better medicine.
 ] There is something weirdly impres sive in the story of this drug travelling 2 by secret insidious ways all over continent, making converts like ar eloquent evangelist, leaving mel weakened and broken, rewarding then I with dreams.

The Devil in a New Dress
Rv Frederick J. Haskin

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 23.- There is now taking place before the senate committee on Indian affairs a battle against a new temptation for the sons of man. To be more exact, it Is comparatively new to the white man, but to the red man as old as his tradi- ton.
 This new agent of the devil is com monly known as peyote, and is a drug made from the root of a kind of cac-

 Pensions, based on the casualties re- ported up to the end of the year, are estimated at 700,000,000 francs annu- ally.
 The interest charge will be in- creased, it is expected not only by loans already floated, but by an in- crease on the sums advanced by the Bank of France, which must eventu- ally be converted into loans at higher rate. This item is estimated at 240,- 000.000 year. A considerable part of the paper circulation may be retired and replaced by a perpetual loan in- volving a further charge of 120000 900 a year.
 Short term national defense bonds, of which there are now outstanding about 24,000 900 francs, will also be convert ed into bonds at a somewhat higher rate, adding perhaps 50000000 more. The balance of the estimated in crease in the interest charge is made up of O0,000,000 interest on the ten billions required to repair war dam ages and 800 000, 900 more on a fresh load of ten billions.
 For each additional year of war, about 3000, 0,00O,000 francs must be add ed to the budget to care for the added war debt. If the war ends within a year the amount France will have to raise each year will be in the neigh borhood of 1700O,000.000 francs, ac- cording to present estimates. The amount is susceptible, however, to inn portant reductions. For example, the national defense item will depend upon the measure of success obtained in the constitution of the Society of Nations

Jan. 2.-(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)-The public debt of France was about 1l5,000, ,000,- 900 francs at the end of 1917 or ST. 000,O00,000 more than on July 3l, 1914 At least 50000 00OO0 more will be added to it during the course of this year, bringing it up to 165,O0O 100000, it Is expected.
 The interest charge in 1914 was 1.037, 100000 francs. At the end of 1917 M. Klotz, minister of finance, estimat- ed it at 4.725,000,000 francs.
 Based on the cost of the war up to the end of 1917. the budget of France, gs compared with that of 1914, is esti- mated as follows:

THE T 7 Blue STAR.


To the memory of BufOrd c. Gordon, who died in France, Oct 8, 1918
AS we pass the little cottage, on the old familiar street,
We miss the genial face of one, whom all did love to greet.
He went to join the colors of the great and mighty land,
Twas his patriotic duty, to lend a helping hand.
He bid farewell to home and friends, to sail Ger seas afar,
In the little cottage window, there hangs q Service Star.
His stay was brief, his work was done,
A supreme sacrifice, this noble son.
Twas better to die, far from roaring gun,
Than in the path of the murderous Hun.
A life well spent, the race is run,
Peace, Victory on earth in heaven he won.
A message came, then silence fell,
On the lips of many, who knew him well.
There, Angels watched as if by chance,
He died alone, in far off France.
He gently sleeps among comrades brave,
Where the Stars and Stripes, wave over his grave.
Friends memory, will never grow old,
The little blue star is turned to gold.
God comfort the lonely mother and wipe away her tears,
And don't forget the sweetheart pal, of many, many years.
Heaven will grow brighter, as the shades of night unfold,
the little blue star in the window, now turned to gold.
