ALASKA
JAP PROPOSALS
 ARE DISCUSSED
 BY GOVERNMENT
Associated Press)


 WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 2S.- Administration officials are discuss ing Japan's inquiries which were made to ascertain the disposition of the allies toward proposal for joint military operations in Siberia to prevent large quantities of war supplies at Vladivostok and along the Trans-Siberian railway from fall. ing into the hands of Germany While there is a disposition here to decline to enter the plans, it is ad- mitted that this action may become necessary.
 Information received from London indicates that the British government believes that Japan is to intervene in Russia with the aid of the allies and possibly the cooperation of the American government. Japan is still negotiating with the allies in re- gard to the matter.
 Russian representatives in this city are strongly opposed to the proposal and ask that the weight of American influence be thrown against the scheme. It is admitted that the allies are alarmed lest the vast quantities of supplies which have been landed at Vladivostok, and which were paid for with American cash, should fall into the hands of the Germans.

THIRD BOMB IS
 FOUND AT Fl.
 DOUGLAS, UTAH

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Feb. 2S. The third bomb within a week to be discovered among the German ci. william prisoners at Fort Douglas, the internment camp located at the outskirts of this city, was found tonight by the authorities. This last bomb was much more power. full than any of the others.
 The camp officials are greatly pug zled and worried over. the apparent ease with which the bombs are smuggled into the camp, as it is certain that they must come from the outside. There is no possible hiding place Tn the prison where these instruments of destruction could be concealed without danger of immediate discovery. A thorough search fails to reveal any likely hiding place.
 It is the intention of the authori. ties to institute more rigid precau. tionary measures at once. as 1t is believed that there is a plot on foot to make a wholesale delivery of the aliens interned there.

 PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. 2S-The lumbermen of the northwest will put into effect tomorrow an eight hour day for all classes of labor This action was forecasted several weeks ago when representatives of the lumber industry met the federal labor commission, headed by Secre. tary of Labor W. B. Wilson here and agreed to shorten the working day and institute other reforms in order to avert impending labor trou- bles.
 Colonel Brice Disque, head of the governments spruce production cam- paign, explained that the decision for a basic eight-hour day is entire ly voluntary on the part of the operators and was not demanded by the government.
 Colonel Disque declares that he believes that the government will possibly never take over the spruce and fir industry, for which authori- ty was yesterday granted to the government by congress. He de- clares that the government can de- pend upon the lumbermen for a maximum production of airplane tim Der. The lumber mills are just get ting strengthened out after a period of chaos, and the future will see all plants running at full speed and a--maximum capacity.

ROAD MONEY IS
 NOW DOUBTFUL

JUNEAU, Feb. 2S.-Captain w. H. Waugh, of the Alaskan Engineering commission, today predicted the short age of funds for Alaska road work for several years unless there is a change in existing legislation.
 Captain Waugh stated that unless present legislation is changed. and on account of the labor shortage which prevails in nearly every sec tion of the territory, none of the forest reserve fund can be used on Alaska road work for several years This will work a hardship on many sections of the country, as they are dependent on the road work done each summer for keeping roads and trails in passable condition.
