WEATHER ON WEST FRONT
 IS DESCRIBED
Comparisons Made with United States Where American Troops
 Chartered.

WASHINGTON, March 27. - The battlefronts of France lie in lat itude north of the United States. Paris is farther north than any point in the United States, being 500 miles nearer the North Pole than Chicago Along the northern coasts of France temperatures are very similar to those of our north ern Pacific coast, the monthly av- craze at Dunkirk, France. and Se- attle, Washington, being identical for nearly half the months of the year and differing only slightly for other months.
 Not considering the higher noun tains, rainfall in the eastern half of the United States. especially in Chicago is one and one-half times as large; at New York, more than tiwce as large and at New Orleans. nearly three times as large.
 Over the lowlands of Northern France. particularly in the noun tains bordering on Germany where the winters are long and cold, snowfall is more frequent and much heavier.

PIONEER SAYS
 KUSKOKWIM IS
 A GOOD FIELD ID. E. StubbS Claim Placer Strike Made Which
 Is Very Prom- ising.. FIRST DREDGE THERE Declares That a Railroad Would Make It a Won- der Spot of the
 World.
FIRST DREDGE THERE|

Conditions in the Kuskokwim valley are described in a letter writ ten by D. E. Stubbs. an Alaska pio- neer, of Aniak, to the Anchorage Weekly Times.
 The Kuskokwim valley" writes MT. Stubbs, lis the -mineralized. most fertile, best climate, most ac- cessible and least known region in | Alaska today. Game, furbearine animals and fish are abundant, and for many years this country has been the trapper's paradise. Only during the past year has develop ment work started that will improve the valley more than has been pre- viously done in the last fifty years
 First Dredge Received.
 Last year the first dredge was received; the first wireless station was constructed and put in working order; the first hospital was opened last season; the first big strike was made last year and the fishing bus mess on big scale begun only last year. This is the first year that tho reindeer industry has assumed busi- ness proportions and homesteaders are coming in quite fast now. A forlorn hope has at last sprung uI that the government will soon rec. ognize the fact that the second larg- est river valley must have a rail road, if the tremendous resources of the country are to be developed.
 Largest Placer Strike.
 "The largest placer strike was made last year and it is very shal. low and quite rich. A strike car. rying pay was made during the winter on Crooked creek, three miles below Stevens camp. A strike in the fall was made on George river and much coarse gold is found, the largest nugget weighing sixteen ounces. This is the largest nugget ever found in this or any adjoining camp. Before the finding of this nugget New York creek had pro- duced the largest chunks of gold. | During the winter a strike was made on the Holitna river, which l pl OlIlSco tO iIlthc q SOOd proposition Two outside compan- ies own good pay on Bear creek but owing to claim jumpers inter fering, the same may lie idle for some time.
 | "Al Walsh has taken an option on the Parks-Fuller cinnabar prop erty lying on the north bank of the Kuskokwim fifteen miles above Georgetown. There is probably no larger body of rich mercury bearing ore in the world than is found in these two properties. A feature of the ore is that nothing of the kind i has ever been found before. Much of the ore carries native quick and does not resemble any ore hereto fore found. The men who made the geological survey of it declare it to be the biggest thing they ever saw. it is believed that a mill will be erected on the properties this sea son.
 "A railroad is what we need to l make this district the wonder of the | world. Hurry it along"

Turn Your Clock Ahead One Hour Friday Night When You Retire.

By an act of Congress all timepieces in the na- tion shall be turned ahead one hour on Saturday morning, thereby saving an hour in the evening of daylight. This act, aside from reducing gas bills, coal bills, electric light bills in the home, will enable parents to have a new hour with their children, and give more time for outdoor recreation, so es- sential to health. This is a far-reaching step that will benefit 20,000,OO0 workers in the United States and will be the so- lution of many of the causes of labor unrest and a practical constructive ef- fort toward securing the full cooperation of labor in prosecuting the war.

PROSPECTS FOR GOLD ON
 LADUE.

Ed Anderson, who mushed in from Ladue creek for supplies, is hopeful of making a placer strike in that region. The Ladue is a tribu- tary of the White river, and is reach ed in winter by Anderson by the trail leading up the Sixtymile to [ Matson creek, thence up Matson and over the divide. Anderson says:
 "I did some prospecting on La due. near. the head. and I am hope full of fnding gold there. However, have nothing yet in the nature of pay. l will give it one more win ter's trial. came down this trip to get supplies to take to the creek and cache them, and have them ready for use next fall.
 Harry Little has been trapping on Ladue. He was down to Ogil- vie not long ago, and reported not having seen Rupe for good while. Since Rupe had been ex- pected to visit Ogilvie recently and did not appear. Little is going up to Rupe's camp to see if he is all right. The trip will be made by Little with snowshoes.
 "On Watson creek I saw Dyke and Loveland. Watson himself is trapping on the south fork of the Sixtymile."

 Just over a dow saddle from the head of this pup on Ruby, Charley Pearson has large body of gravel carrying values as high as soc in shotty gold. His last shaft runs from % top to 10c on bedrock, which is hard granite that is not broken up. Dan Aston has taken a lay on No 3-b on Ruby. and is now taking in his outfit.

There is still plenty of ground to be staked. with plenty of wood. water, meat and vegetables right in the country to live on-not like it is at Good News Bay. where c. A. Fowler writes his partner.

 Tom Aiken is busy getting his 470 tons of dredge materials out to Candle. He has let the contract to haul 100 tons to Dave Edwards, it is reported, as one of his horses has been laid up with a lame leg.
 The boys on Karl creek will have their ground ready to hydraulic the coming season. The small cut they run last fall averaged 54c to the square foot, and because their drain was not deep enough they had to leave two feet of pay under themA until they deepen the drain next Apring.

TT WOULD be easy to misinterpret this
nomination by Son-n-law McAdoo Of
Father.in.law Wilson for third term So
many precedents have been broken i'm re.
cent years and the Democratic party has
turned its back on so many of its historical
principles that it is conceivable it may
attempt to elect Mr.. Wilson for a third

The simplest explanation of Mr.. McAdoo's
statement lies in his desire to detaCh his
Liberty Bond speech making tour from par
tisan politics. 1T is an open secret that he
is candidate for the presidency. But in
this juncture he must be regarded as an
American and not as a Democrat He is
speaking for the cause of America. That
cause must have the support of men of
