HOT SPRINGS IS
AN IDEAL PLACE
TO SEEK HEALTH
Baths Have Been Rebuilt and Ample
Accommodation Assured Those
Who Go There.

The Baker Hot Springs, situated
about three miles from the steam
boat landing on the Tanana river,
which suffered considerably some
time ago as the result of a fire
which demolished the hotel and bath
buildings, has now been entirely re-
built and renovated and is an ideal
place for seekers after health and
recreation.
Those journeying to the springs
and getting off at the steamboat
landing on the Tanana can reach
the town and springs after a short
three-mile journey, as there is a
good road leading from the landing
to the town. Freight teams invari-
ably come to the landing to meet
the boats and will take passengers
and baggage. Those getting off at
Olson's landing, which is at the
mouth of the Hot Springs slough,
can reach the springs after a short
boat journey up the slough, landing
right at the springs.
Ample accommodations can be
found in the roadhouse and several
very comfortable cabins in the i'm
mediate neighborhood of the springs.
and those who intend making a long
stay and care to do their own cook
ing and patching, can easily rent
one of the comfortable cabins for a
very reasonable rate.
The baths, which have been en-
tirely renewed at considerable ex-
pense, by Calderhead & Co., are
strictly up-to-date in every respect
and very reasonable rates are
charged for the use of them. There
Is large swimming tank about so
feet square and varying depths as
well as numerous shower baths and
every other requisite in the way of
bathing suits, towels, etc, can be
had at these baths; comfortable
lounging rooms. either hot or cold
are always available, and in fact
the baths are prepared to cater to
the tastes of the most fastidious in
the variety offered for the comfort
and convenience of the bather.

solutely without any current and
boats of all descriptions can be
hired; the river abounds in fish.

UTAH SENATOR INTRODUCES
RESOLUTION INTO THE
SENATE
Referred to Foreign Re-
lations Committee
Question Whether Bulgarians Are
in Drive on West Front Mooted
is Affirmed by Some and Is
Denied by Others.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Senator
King of Utah this afternoon introduc-
ed a resolution in the senate declar-
ing war on Bulgaria and Turkey
Reports have been current at the
capitol for the past few days that
the president would shortly request
congress to declare war on Turkey
and Bulgaria.
Such action was advocated last De-
cember at the time war was declared
against Austria-Hungary, but at the
request of the president it was post
poned to await developments.
Senators favoring the action point
ed to reports that Bulgarian troops
have been engaged with the Germans
in the present drive. They declared
this was an added reason for an i'm
mediate declaration of war against
all of Germany's allies. 1t was later
denied that Bulgarians had come tC
the west front.
Senator Kings resolution was re-
ferred to the senate foreign relations
committee without debate. The Utah
senator has repeatedly urged war up
on Bulgaria and Turkey.
The text of the resolution was u
the most formal character. 1t stated
briefly that both Turkey and Bulgar
ia have repeatedly committed acts o.
war against the United States.

"Appreciable progress has been maze
at various points between Denuln ana
the Somme river" the French war
office announced.
Again the Germans have sustained
tremendous new losses.
1t is possible that the Germans plan
double movement against Amlens by
striking simultaneously west OF Al
bert and Montdidier. In that event
the German operations would take the
course of conyerging movement to
press the lines forward to the north
and south of Amiens.
1t is strongly possible, however, that
any such effort will be frustrated in
advance by the increasing pressure
against the German center.
At numerous points along the tip
of the German salient the German
lines have been bent back and the
Anglo French advance is still in pro-
gress.
The French war office has made
two successive announcements of
gains between Demuin and the Somme
which may be regarded as one of the
vital points on the line.
There was heavy cannonading along
