DEER ARE TAME
ON CH|CAGOFF ISLE

"This has been a hard winter on
deer" William Freeburn, of the
Chicagoff mine, is quoted as saying
in the Juneau Dispatch, "but there
is one herd on Chicagoff island
which is doing we'll. Some of the
boys have treated a herd of them
with so much consideration that the
animals have taken a mile when an
inch was given. One of them walk
ed right into the kitchen recently.
Carrots and other vegetables seem
to have been the attraction that led
this particular deer into the house"
Mr.. Freeburn was in Juneau look
ing for few men for special work,
but idle men seem to be few and
far between. When asked at what
age he considered a man was past
his usefulness he emphatically stated
that there is no age limit.

100000 men.

And so it will continue as long
as the war lasts. The man afield
must be supplied with munitions,
clothing and food. Every lire of
American endeavor will profit The
larger the bond sales, the greater
the growth of the Allied armies and
thir requirements; the more ire
mendous the expenditures.
Every dollar you put into Liberty
bonds is an added stimulus to Ameri-
can prosperity.
Besides making more and more
certain the defeat OF the kaiser's
ambition to rule the world with his
mailed fist.

SEEING THE LIGHT

every encouragement should De
given Mayor Rolph in his project 70
bring coal from Alaska to California,
says the San Francisco Star. ''The
fuel problem is one of the greatest
before the nation, and one which
vitality affects all parts of the coun-
try.
Warm weather will soon reduce
the domestic demand to minimum,
but the industrial consumption will
be even greater than at present.
Already it is stated that the fuel ad-
ministration is worrying over the
probability of an unusually summer
demand to replenish depleted stocks
and provide against a shortage next
winter.
with the prospect for a continu.
ing car shortage owing to war ship
ments, this movement from the
mines to dealers and consumers,
which would ordinarily be welcomed
may prove embarrassing to the ma
tional railroad management.
"In bringing coal from Alaska by
barge, Pacific ports and nearby
interior points can be supplies with
out burdening the railroads, while
Rocky Mountain Goals can be di-
verified to central western states,
which would in turn tend to restrict
Illinois, Ohio, and Eastern Goals to
contiguous territory. ~...
"Of course, this is looking far
ahead and presupposing a practically
unlimited supply from an as yet
undeveloped source. But it is the
possibility of the development of an
Alaskan supply deemed illimitable
that makes Mayor Rolph's project
one of great Importance to the whole
country.
with two such practical bust
nessmen as Secretary Franklin X.
Lane and Mayor Rolph working on
the project, definite results may be
looked for Washington and Colo
RADIO Goals now command fancy
price in the local market, and if
Alaskan competition did no more
than to lower them to reasonable
figure the Pacific coast would be
greatly benefited"

The breakup pool, which was

WHERE THE ALLIED LOANS GO

More people than you would be-
live are under the impression that
the money which Uncle Sam is lend

expenditure in Europe and other
foreign countries. =.
This is mistaken idea, says the
Juneau Empire.
Virtually all of it is expended
right here at home fer American
produced goods, munitions and food
stuffs.
Since the declaration of war
against Germany on April 6. 1917
congress has authorized the lend
ing of OOO,OOO,OOO to the Allies to
be paid before April l, 1917. Up
to November l the Allies had ,-e.
ceived advances aggregating $3,691,.
100000. They had expended in
America for supplies $2,758, 900. 00C
and had remaining to their credit
in the United States treasury q
balance of 1892, 100000.
From April to November the
Allies had been borrowing from
Uncle Sam at the rate of approx
mately $500, 100000 month.
And they had been spending il
with US about as rapidly as they
got it.

CENTRIFUGAL GUN

A centrifugal gun, which fires

ton. Tests have proved the ma
chimes efficiency, the inventor de-
clares, and he has succeeded in in
teresting the war department in the
weapon. Its manufacture is being
carried on under utmost secrecy at
a place not announced.
Lombard has worked on the gun
for 81 years, and he declares its ac-
curacy amazes gun authorities who
have watched its work. 1t has no
barrel, operating on the principle of
a sling. The latter operates under
a disk, which revolves at tremen-
dous speed The ammunition is fed
through a tunnel-like attachment
from a tube, which leads into two
veins beneath the disk.
The veins center upon an OPEN
ing about two inches wide and the
bullets are thrown with terrific
velocity. Steam is the source of
energy.
The machine can be placed in a
first-line trench and operated hun
dreds Of feet in the rear. From
there it can be regulated at any
angle. 1t is easily portable and
"jamming" and heating, common to
machine guns, are eliminated.
In recent test, the inventor says,
the gun was turned on sheets of
steel plates three-quarters of an
inch thick, hundreds of feet away.
The bullets went through them like
paper. The missiles are small steel
balls, similar to bearings.-Phil.
