INDEPENDENT FLANDERS
NEWEST GERMAN FAKE

LONDON, Feb. 8 (by maiD "A
formal announcement of the "com-
plete independence of Flanders" from
the rest of Belgium was made in Brue-
sells on January 20, under German
patronage, and sham elections have
been proceeding throughout the >Flem-
ish districts, of a new Council o.
Flanders" which is designed, under
German guidance, to undertake civil
administration of a district normally
containing about 100000 Flemish
people.
The German newspapers, in reports
of the elections, declared that great
enthusiasm" was manifest everywhere.
The Belgian newspapers in Holland,
however, declared that the German au-
thorities had the greatest difficulty in
suppressing the opposition to the new
scheme, and predicted that the elec-
tions would in the end serve to unite
rPther than divide the Belgian nation.

dIlhIl6E IN iFiRI9H6[IMEhI
OF ALASKA COLD MINES

B. l.. Thane is to succeed Colonel D.
c. Jackling as managing director OF
the Alaska Gold Mines Company. A
number of other changes in the per-
sonnel of the various departments are
also announced, to be effective from
the first of the present month. Pro
motions have been numerous.
In his annual report of the affairs
of the company, Thane says than $470,-
600 has been cleared by the property
during 1917. The mills worked 352
days, averaging $3.50 tons of ore every
"a hours.
Besides the many thousands cleared,
says the report. $4,000 went to pay
off book indebtedness and $4,000 was
used to repair the damage done by the
snowslide early in 1917 in the Silver
Bow basin.
Thane says that the property of the
company will continue to operate as
long as men can be secured to send
ore to the mills "A decided shortage
of labor will not become acute for many
months, on account of a large amount
OF reserves already broken in the
slopes" said Thane
Queries as to why interest on bonds
has not been paid were answered by
the explanation that the company is
friendly with the bondholders and that
a certain amount of bills payable are
being settled before interest on the
bonds is paid. Also sinking fund is
being created in actual cash to meet
any possible crisis arising out of the
war and resulting conditions.
Thane urges every loyal Alaskan
to use his best efforts to keep Alaska
industries going and he promises to
make conditions the best possible for
the mine workers.

The imes-Record is inclined to
think that when it comes to handing
out Carnegie medals and service
crosses that Selmar Kysek and Ken
meth Eckel are in line to receive a
metal apiece for the bravery and
splendid work they accomplished in
saving the life of a young woman Sat-
urday night. Both boys placed them
selves in jeopardy in doing so, espec-
tally when they were weighted down
by their clothes and took the chances
of being dragged under themselves.
Master Eckel was rugged out in a
new suit and fixed up but he did not
stop to consider these things, neither
did Mr. Kysek, like two brave lads
that they are, they plunged into res
cue that young woman regardless of
the consequences and they undoubt-
eddy were the means of saving a hu-
man life. But that is the way most
American boys do things. They &C.
complish things first and talk it over
afterwards. That,is why we are 60
ing to win this war that is now tear
ing up all of Europe. The boys are
going over the top and when the job
is accomplished they will then come
home and talk it over.

BUY W. S. S =

Howard Wilson, who is the demo-
cratic nominee for the legislature
fro mthe Fifteenth District, was ask
ed some pointed questions in the
meeting of committeeman at the
court house Wednesday. He was ask
ed the question that in event he was
elected to the legislature if he would
use his own judgment in regard to
legislation or if he would allow his
bosses to dictate his action. Mr.. Will
son replied that he intended to stand
on his own bottom and not be dictated
to. Very good, so far. He was asked
if he was in favor of House Bill "a
which has caused so much comment
the past two years. Mr.. Wilson did
not seem to hear this question at all
at least he did not answer it. The
people of the district would like to
know just where he stands on that
question - whether he will let the
bosses vote him on that or whether he
will use his own judgment in the mat
ter. Now is the time to come out fiat
footed either one way or the other.
Mr. Wilson has the making of a good
legislator if he really wants to be in
dependent in thought and action. But
the people want to know just where
he stands. This is a vital question
we think.

BEEF AT ONE
MEAL PER DAY

Beef regulations for hotels, restau-
rants, boarding houses and all public
eating houses are hereby modified up
on instructions from the United
States Food Administration officials
at Washington. All public eating
houses are now permitted to serve
beef at one meal per day only. 1t is
permissible to use the by-products at
any time. BY by-products is meant
the heart, liver, tongue, kidneys, etc.
1--WE wish a reduction in the con-
sumption in the heavy carcass beef
and we wish to replace it with pork
and not other beef" is the ex-
PLANTATION given by the officials in
Washington in wire to the Federal
Food Administration just received.
North Dakota hotels, restaurants
and other public eating houses should
serve carcass beef at the dinner meal
only.
Increasing demands for heavy car
cass beef to feed our soldiers in Eu-
rope and also for shipment to the
allied nations caused the Food Ad-
ministration to ask a curtailment in
the use of beef. This resulted in an
immediate conservation which per-
mitted the Food Administration to
purchase substantial amount of the
kind of beef required. The first reg
ulations however, which cut the use
of beef to three meals a week would
have caused spoilage in some parts of
the country because hotel men might
not have been able to hold over sup
plies.
1t is believed new regulations which
permit the use of beef at one meal a
day and the by-products, as specified
above will furnish sufficient conserva-
ton and do away with all danger of
spoilage.

The news from the war centers is
very good these days. The allies with
the strong assistance of the American

dendorfs and the kaiser that instead
Of being a nation of ignorant louis
that is is nation of progress and
goaheadativeness. The American
boys have habit of thinking for
themselves instead of having some
other person doing their thinking.
When they 60 into action they know
what they are going to do and when
every officer is downed and out any

ahead to victory. In other words ours
is an army of efficiency backed by
brains and courage and being in the
right is bound to be victorious in the
end. The turning point has already
arrived in this war and the forces of
the kaiser, the sultan of Turkey, the
Bulgarians and the Austrians are
brought up against a stone wall. 1t
may be that peace is still a long way
ahead but there is one thing certain
that when it comes it will be along
lines set forth by President Wilson
representing the democracy of the
United States. The word failure has
been erased from any dictionary in
this land until this has been accom-
plished.
