CHURCHMAN IS
 OFF THE PRESS

The first issue of The Alaskan Churchman for 1918 is now off the press and ready for distribution to the public.
 This publication has always at tracted attention whenever issued. The Churchman is devoted to the workings of the Episcopal church and it's missions, and is a volume we'll worth reading. Many contribu- tions have been made to this publi- cation from writers throughout the United States and Alaska. The de- scriptive matter of the articles is in terest:ng reading. The cuts depict con- ditions of life as may be seen in the north and accompany the de- scriptive articles.

BODY
 DISCUSS MUCH
 OF IMPORTANCE

The council of defense met at the office of the local board last night to discuss various matters. Among those touched upon was that con- cerning the game meat supply. Ow- ing to lack of information as to the provisions of the game law that Delegate Sulzer is endeavoring to have passed at this session of con. gross for the permitting of an open season during the duration of the war, the council will not take any definite action until it is certain of the provisions.
 The report of the food conserva- tion committee showed that the re- ports are coming in in greater num- bers than previously. All outlying districts have responded promptly, and in nearly to the full amount of pledges sent in, with the exception of Brooks. From that place not a single report has been received by the committee.
 Concerning the food supply for the coming year, the question of ade- quate tonnage to transport the years supplies from the States was dealt with. This matter will be taken up with the Alaska bureau of the Seattle Chamber of COmerce and the needs of the interior placed be- fore that body before the opening of navigation so as to insure the de- livery of goods ordered.
 Other matters of minor importance were discussed, after which the council adjourned.

DRY DELEGATES
 IN CONVENTION
 START BIG ROW
Associated PressD

CHICAGO, H., Mar. 6.-The re- pudiation of the committee agree ment to consolidate the National Prohibition party with the new Ma tionalist party has led to a serious break in the ranks of the prohibi- tion organization and may lead to the complete disorganiZation of the dry party. Yesterday the committee recommended that the request of the Nationalists for a merger with the Prohibitionists be granted, and a resolution to that effect was intro duced at the session this morning.
 After day spent in debate and bitter recriminations, the convention of the Prohibition party defeated the resolution. The storm then broke Its final result cannot be foretold, but leaders are uneasy and endeav- bring to effect a compromise.
 ROW STARTS
 Following the repudiation of the committee agreement. big scrap was precipitated and the hall was the scene of the widest kind of dis order. Fifty-one delegates bolted the and went to the hall where the Nationalists are meeting and with loud voices demanded to be taken into the new party. More than 100 other prohibition delegates have signified their intention of join ing the NationaIists, which is made up of deserters from the ranks of the regular Socialist party conven- ton at St. Louis.
 Delegates from ten states, includ- ing Washington and Oregon, have that the state prohibition will be disbanded at once and reorganized under the ban ner of the Nationalist party. The situation which the Prohibitionists now face is serious and threatens the existence of that party as po- litical factor.

PACKERS WILL
 ENTER SERVICE

In response to the communication published in yesterdays Citizen con corning the need of packers at the cantonment at Camp Lewis, Ameri- can Lake. Washington, there have been many who have expressed a willingness to offer their services.
 While 1t is probable that the style of packing used in Alaska will not fill the requirements of the gov ernment service, those who enter the service will be taught the merh- ods employed in the army. Those who have had army experience in this line can be used as instructors.

CABLE OFFICER
 FIXES SERVICE

In the past when there have been interruptions to the cable between Seattle and Sitka, it has been neces- sary to route press by the way of Ketchikan, very expensive method, or get it by the Canadian govern ment lines, which was uncertain and exceedingly slow. It was also slow work by the Marconi wireless at Ketchikan.
 In the future, however, this will be unnecessary. The navy, it is un- derstood, has opened large station at Bremerton, Wash, which is able to communicate directly with Cordova, another navy wireless point, and from there it will be put on the cable again.
 This routing will be used in the future, through the kindness and foresight of Lieutenant Colonel B. O. Lenoir, head of the Alaska Cable System. This arrangement was com. municated to this office yesterday by Supt. Cutter. of the Associated Press office at San Francisco, who wires as follows: Colonel Lenoir has very kindly arranged to handle four hundred words of our service to you by wireless when cable is down at the regular cable rates. On such occasions will be unable to send excess" Under such an ar engagement, The Citizen will be able to get its usual service at all times

ONE LONE WOLF
 DESTROYS MUCH

DENYING, N. M., Feb. 14.-Roaming over an 87,000 acre ranch near here is a wolf, so old, so wary and so wise that government experts say he cannot be caught in trap and that only two have ever seen him. This old wolf, who is called "Peg-Leg" because he lost part of one foot in trap years ago, has caused ranchers of this section such losses that their total is almost unbeliev- able. These run, stockmen say, well into the thousands of dollars each year
 There is good deal of stock run in this section which is better than the average range cow" and it is "Peg-Leg's" chief delight, the stock men declare, to pick out some un- usually good yearling or two-year-old steer, pull him down and make a meal of him. Peg-Leg's work, the trappers and stockmen say, is as easily identified as if he had left a calling card, for he always eats from the same part of the carcass of his prey, just above the haunch
 At one time three government hunters. men chosen by the biolo- gical survey for their adeptness, spent several weeks in a vain effort to locate the willy old wolf. At present one of the best shots in the biographical surveys service is at tempting to draw a bead" on Peg Leg.

WANTS MONEY FOR
IRRIGATION FARM
Gordon Moores Thinks State
Should Appropriate $4,000
as Starter for Station

"The state irrigation experimental
station, for which a site has been Sc
lected three miles north of Prosser,
should be in operation within year,
saws Gordon Moores, member OF the
legislature from Benton county, who is
in the city attending the meeting OF
representatives from this district ana
also taking part in the sessions OF the
Irrigation Institute, says the Yakima
Republic.
Mr.. Moores probably had more to DO
with the passage of the bill providing
for the establishment of an expert
mental station in the Yakima valley
than any other man. The state has
under option 24O acres of first-class
agricultural land lying below the canal
of the Prosser irrigation district. Fart
If this has been donated by the rail-
road company with the understanding
that it be used for an experimental
station. and the remainder, which is
owned by. two individuals, is offered to
the state for a very low price per acre.
'I think the state college should
take charge of the experimental sta
tom says Mr.. Moores. THE state
has the opportunity for great WORK
IN that line. The need for the expert
mental station is doubly great now IN
view of the extensive land settlement
program which is contemplated. IL

Mr.. Moores believes it would tai

made no appropriation for it.

has been reduced one-half from the
original assessment. 1t is thought
that by another year the council
will be able to do away with the
occupation tax altogether.

GERMAN ALIEN ENEMIES
MUST REGISTER

Acting under Che authority con.
ferred upon him in the Proclamation
of the President of the United
States, dated November 16, 1917,
the Attorney General Of the United
States has made and declared
general rules and regulations dat
ed December 81, 1917, for the reg
istration of German alien enemies
and has fixed the time for such reg
istration as the 4th, 5th, 9th, 18th,
8th and 9th days of February,
1918, inclusive, from 6 a. m. to
p. m. on each of said days.
!. For this registration Postmaster
Squire Turner has been designated
as an Assistant Registrar for Mt.
Sterling and Montgomery county.
His duties in substance will be to
distribute to each German alien
enemy who appears before him for
registration on the days mentioned
triplcate copies of the registration
affidavit and one copy of the in
structions to registrants. The reg
istration affidavit need not be filed
out in the Postmaster's presence,
but must be signed and sworn to in
triplicate before him. The power
to administer the oath is conferred
upon the Postmaster and no fee is
to be charged therefor. When the
afidavits are sworn to in triplicate
before the Postmaster, he will fill in
on the blank provided for that pur-
pose a description of the registrant
and take his finger prints, using
for this purpose the ink pad used
for postmarking letters. The reg
istrant must supply four photo
graphs of himself, one of which
the Postmaster will affix to each OF
the afidavits and the fourth to a
form of the registration card.
All natives, citizens, denizens or
subjects of the German Empire or
of the Imperial German Govern
ment, being males of the age 70 IA
years and upwards, who are within
the United States and not actually
naturahzed as American citizens,
are required to register as alien en-
emies. Failure to register subjects
the alien enemy required to register
to heavy penalties.
The law does not require the
Postmaster to look up the alien
enemies; they must report to him
for registration on one of the. above
days.
