GEORGE GREEN MAKES
 GOOD TIME ON TRAIL

In letter received locally. the popular skipper of the Reliance, who is making a hurried trip to his home over the trail, driving his own dogs, says that considering weather and trail conditions, he made very good time between Fairbanks and Chitina. He arrived in Chitina on November 29th, and was preparing to leave for Cordova immediately
 The necessity for the nasty trip was occasioned by the death of his brother Captain Jack Green. of the A. '. N. steamer Yukon, who was a passenger on the ill-fated Princess Sophia.

ARMISTICE HALTS
 TROOP PREPARATION

In a letter received locally on the last mail, Asa Pittock, formerly storekeeper at 43-mile, writes from Newport News, where he, with a great many others in the service, were awaiting authorization for France. -
 Asa says that the flu" invaded their camp and that almost everyone was down with it, as consequence of which the date of embarkation had to be postponed indefinitely. Shortly after the abatement of the epidemic the news of the signing of the armistice was received and all authorization orders were cancelled, greatly to the disappointment of the boys.
 A. convoy which had set sail one morning with a total of about ten , llOuSduu tIOOpS oN DOdIu lHe ScNCAoi vessels, was recalled by wireless, as result of the armistice. The re- turning transports docking late at night.
 The cigar stores around camp were run by Greeks, he says, who appear ed to take great delight in imposing on the soldiers and overcharging them for everything. As soon as they got a chance. the boys more than evened up the score in a raid they conducted on the stores. They turned things topsy turvy and had a good time doing it. The police, to whom the Greeks appealed, did not appear to be very anxious to make any arrests.

 No wearing of mourning is be- coming general in England and France. This desirable condition has come about because it was found that the wearing of black by so many not only had a most depress- ing effect on the whole civilian populations, but also proved posi- tive menace to the national interests in that it diverted workmen and material from strictly necessary channels into streams that fed the unnecessary.

RAILROAD WORK |S HAMPEREO BY
 1HE INFLUENZA

ANCHORAGE. - Spanish influ- enza retarded work on the govern ment railroad. The epidemic first attacked employees in the general offices and in the terminal yard in Anchorage and then spread to sta tions and construction camps north and south of Anchorage. The ill- ness left unscathed just enough workers in the steel gang north of Montana to keep the track-laying machine in operation. More than half the miners in the coal mines of the Alaskan Engineering com mission at Eska and Chickaloon were down with the disease For weeks the Anchorage hospital, which is maintained by the Commission, was crowded with patients to every inch of its available space. Although several hundred Commission en- ployees were afflicted with the ail- ment, only six succumbed to it.
 Besides taking care of ailing em- ployees, the Commission had to as sume the greater share of the work involved in the treatment of afflicted Indians. All sick natives along the line of the government railroad were brought to Anchorage and placed in building that formerly had been used as hotel and that was inn provised into a hospital. The beds, bed clothing, stoves and fuel re- quired in the building were fur nished by the Commission. Quite a number of Indians died of the dis ease.
 Every effort was eXerted by the Commission to prevent the spread of the epidemic into the Interior of Alaska. Trains outbound from An chorage carreid no persons except those that had been examined and passed as perfectly healthy by the Anchorage board of health.
 Transportation was refused to all persons wishing to travel beyond the line of the railroad toward the h. terior. On the Broad Pass, which is the mountain divide between the coast and Interior divisions of the government railroad, armed guards were stationed by officials of the Fairbanks division to stop and turn back to the coast travellers seeking to go to the Interior.
 In Anchorage, schools churches, and theaters were closed and pub lie meetings and lodge sessions were forbidden during the epidemic.

A piched baseball was recently timed, and it took O.288 second to reach from the pitchers hand to the batter. The ball travelled at a speed of 210 feet second, or 2-5 miles a minute. It required 0.796 second to throw a ball from the catcher to second base; a distance of 129 feet. Little wonder that bases are so difficult, to-. steal.

A POTASH VICTORY

Germany has thought all along, and still thinks no doubt," announced Secretary of the Interior Lane re- gently, that she has whip hand over America because of her supply of potash, but America can in two years become entirely independent of Germany in this regard by the development of her own deposits and the use of processes devised by Dr. Cottrell of this department"
 When the war started, this coun- try, having had nearly a quarter million tons of potash from Ger many each year, suddenly found her self cut off from this important fer tilizer material. That constituted a call to American science to get busy, and very soon this country was producing potash from the brine lakes of California, Nebraska and other states; from the kelp, the sea weed of the Pacific coast, and from various minerals. The scarcity of potash boosted the price and these new industries found the production very profitable.
 The production is not yet nearly up to the demand, although growing rapidly. However, Secretary Lane is not passing his assumptions upon the potash from these sources alone. The romance of American science here comes into round out an in- dustry that may be of the greatest importance. Several years ago Dr. Frederick Cottrell, now the chief metallurgist of the Bureau of Mines, sought some device that would stop the poisonous fumes from the smelters that were destroying yege- taton. This device was not only successful with the sme!ters, but a cement company in California, in dire distress from the dust fumes that were running profitable fruit growing country, took the chance that something that would stop shelter fumes might arrest the ce- ment dust and put an end to costly litigation with the farmers. The dust was caught and it proved to be potash-so much potash that the cement company with the outbreak of the war made potash its chief product. Another cement company in Maryland that caught the spirit early, in 1917, after fully amortiz- ing their plant, cleared S200.000 from potash alone. and this year the profits will be half a million dollars. This, of course, is with potash at the present high selling price.
 The whole of Searies Lake, in California, has been leased by the Interior department to a number of companies who have undertaken to erect plants for the reduction of potash from its brine. Two plants are already producing.
 From alunite and leucite, two minerals hitherto regarded as worth less, potash is being obtained in Utah and Wyoming.

But nervousness and tenseness come to the average man, and he shoots wild.

RALROADMEN ARE
 VERY PATRIOTIC

ANCHORAGE. - Irrespective of any criticisms that may be directed against the principle of public owner ship of transportation utilities in times of peace, employees of the government railroad in Alaska have proved that in the matter of the support it affords national activities in time of war it is a bowling sue cess, Their subscriptions and dona- tions to causes directly and in directly connected with the world conflict, while the United States was engaged in it, aggregated more than three-quarters of a million dollars. They subscribed $61O,SO0 to Liberty Bonds; donated $102,500 to : the American Red Cross; S27,OOO for the relief of destitute Serbians and the support of French and Bel gian orphans; SS,O00 for the en- downment of Alaska beds in the American military hospital at Neuilly France, and $1,62O for the benefit of distressed Syrian and Armenian Christians in Western Asia. In ad- dition to these amounts, there were various contributions for other pur- poses, such as Italian, Russian and Crecian relief, of which no records are now available.
 Employees of the Anchorage divi- sion numbered about 45OO in October, 1917, when the second is sue of Liberty bonds was put on the market. They bought these securi- ties in the amount of $S9, 400, while employees of the two other divisions and of the offices of the Alaskan Engineering commission in Seattle and Washington, D. C., took S34,- 250 of this second issue Anchor age division employees totaled only 1,500 in May, this year, the time of the Third Liberty loan, and they invested in it S1O3,25O, and the two other divisions, with the Seattle and Washington offices, subscribed $69,. POO. The employees of the Anchor. age division numbered 1,45O ir October, this year, the time of the Fourth Liberty loan, but despite this decrease in force they bought S204, $50 of the Fourth issue, and the two ether divisions and the Seattle anc Washington offices took $11O,O5O No part of the first issue of Liberty bonds was offered for sale in An chorage.

CHAMBER URGES
 UNITED STATES
 ID PUSH TRADE

LONDON.-Business men of the United States are urged by the directors of the American Chamber of Commerce in London to en- deavor to induce the United States Congress promptly to create an American Reconstruction commits sion to deal with the economic re- lations between America and Great Britain. This proposed commission, asserts the statement issued by the directors of the American Chamber of Commerce here, should contain 9 strong representation of men of sound experience and judgment in matters of foreign policy and trade and should have authority to pro- ceed to act at once with similar bodies of Great Britain and other countries formerly at war with the Central Powers.
 The time has come for the busi- ness communities of the United States to prepare to formulate an after-war policy, says the statement The American Chamber is prompted to make this recommendation because it believes the establishment of friendly trade relations between English-speaking peoples and the re- moval of all business distrust and suspicion are essential in a success ful and permanent lague of Ma tions.
 The chamber also points out that the restrictions which have been inn posed upon Americas trade with Great Britain "have led to the be- life in one country that they directly benefit the other" This situation the chamber says, inevitably raises the issue with Great Britain. Moth ing" it adds, " would suit Germany better than to breed discord out of them, Nothing this chamber be- lieves is more important to the fu- ture of the world than good natured adjustment of these issues between the English-speaking peoples"
 It is none to soon, says the cham Der, for the United States and it's allies to agree upon a plan for the equitable disposition of all raw ma terial so as to reconstruct the stocks depleted by the wastage of war and by the criminal folly of German submarines.
 Another matter urgently calling for joint action is that of dual in- come tax assessments" says the American Chambers statement. Not only does the present situation work unjustified hardship on individuals of both natonalities, but it also practically prohibits the employment of the capital or one country in the enterprises of the other, and is thus strong deterrent to all cooperation between them in the work of re- construction"
 One of the first purposes to be aimed at in the proposed trade re- construction should be the restora- tion of private initiative and busi- ness, says the American Chamber
 The chamber, however, realizes that government control over vir- tually every form of activity cannot be relaxed immediately, but it asserts that the revival of private enter prises is of supreme importance to the future.
