SOAK FEM.

Alaskans are beginning to awaken to the value of their natural re sources and from every locality are heard demands that the case tax on fish be increased, declares a coast editor At the present time the tax is four cents per case, which is considered a very small amount when it is known that the canners are receiving from $6 to So per case for canned fish, As the labor is paid but $70 per month when hired in the States, and from 40 to 50 cents per hour when hired in Alaska Alaska is to the bunch of Outsiders footing her resources. It is believed by many who are familiar with con- ditions that the tax should be not less than 10 or 15 cents per case, and possibly higher. Alaskans pay a tax of two per cent on a one hundred per cent valuation on their property, and the canneries pay but four cents on six dollars worth of property, making the proportion far less for the man who makes his money here and lives Outside than for the man who is here trying to build up the country

BERING COAL

The first shipment of Bering river coal was landed at Cordova during the latter part of October. It con sisted of about thirty tons of an- thracite coal from the Alaska Pe- troleum Coal company's mine and of most excellent quality. It was brought from the mine to Goose Bay on the recently completed Alaska-Anthracite Railway, and was consigned to the Alaska Transfer company, of Cordova.
 The selling price of the coal had not been fixed at the time of re- ceipt from the mine, but it was stated that the cost to consumers would be considerably under that of Outside fuel
 Consumers are to be required to use certain kind of grate to in- sure the best results -.

When work for the day comes to an end today, the end of steel will have reached fridge F, appro ! i mately 35 miles from Nenana. it is expected that little delay in tracklaying operations will result until the bridge has been completed.
 Piledriver No. ? had been work ing at this bridge for the past few days, and it was thought that the structure would be completed by the time the steel reached this bridge. but the moving of the piledriver from bridge 16 to its new locat cr had been slow work and the neces- sity for thawing the ground before driving the piles added to the de lay experienced, and when the steel gang reaches the north bank of the stream spanned by bridge T, the structure will be only partly con pleted.
 Piledriver No. ? will be sent n farther. out the line today and Nlc trackdriver, also known as pile driver No. 1, was hooked on to the train which left for the front this morning.

STRONG FEATURE
 AT THE COL|SEM
 THMORROW NIGHT

The management of the Coliseum
 have chosen for the show on the night of Thanksgiving a six-reel portrayal of the scenes so graphi- cally described in Ouida's famous novel "Under Two Flags, with the ever popular Theda Bara in the role of "Cigarette", supported by an all star cast sustaining the other leading roles; the scenario of the play being by George Hall.
 The story centers around the life of a scion of English nobility, an officer of the famous Household cavalry, who on discovering that his younger brother had forged his name in order to get himself out of an embarrassing situation, leav ing all appearance of guilt on him, decides rather than prosecute hi, brother and bring dishonor on the family and name, he will seek ob- livion. He leaves England secretly accompanied only by a faithful groom, and seeks service in the Algerian branch of the French army and is sent out for garrison duty at one of the remote French AL gerian outposts.
 The hero of the story (Bertie CeceiD serves in the French army under an assumed name and rises to the rank of n-commissioned officer in time. He is also popular among his comrades, mainly owing to the fact that he is a wonderful shot with the rifle and pistol. "Clgarette', so called because of her fondness for gathering up cigar cite stumps from the streets when child, becomes very popular with the men in barracks and is adopted as the daughter of the regiment, and she easily commands the re gards of almost every man. She falls desperately in love with our hero, who, however, does not appear to be conscious of the state of af- fairs. Later on, in the course of the story, our hero is sentenced to be shot for insubordination and, in the nick of time, the devoted "Cigarette' by a clever scheme saves him, and he comes to a full realization of the reason for her action.
 Events follow rapidly and ends very pleasantly, though rather dra- matically. It is a picture that is
 bound to please and none should miss seeing it.
 Feature prices will prevail to- morrow night, the admission being 90 cents, with reserved seats 25 cents extra. Special music will also be an added attraction. The show will commence at eight o'clock.

Yourself as Capital

Did you figure out what you are worth to your
self?
Did you ever thing that as human being, you
have certain value which can be set down in dol
lars and cents?
You can reckon it from your wages or salary
Your annual income represents the interest on
certain amount of capital.
Suppose you receive $1,000 year. At per cent,
this is the interest on $4,000. If you could turn
yourself into capital," this would be your value.
Whenever you increase your energy, intelligence
or effectiveness in your business, you capitalize
yourself at higher figure. When you can pull
down $4,000 year for your services, you can set
down your personal valuation at 100000
States and pencils out-everybody!

ANSWERS
BY CYNTHIA GREY

Dear Miss Grey: l have been
estranged from the man / love
because OF remarks made by a
girl | thought was very dear
friend to both of us. However,
l have just found this out. Be-
cause of this gossip l told him
l could not longer accept his
attention. l know now that it
was not his fault. and believe
he would like to be friends with
me again. Is it my place to
apologize to him? MARY.
1t is your privilege to explain
that you did not know all the
facts. This Is not necessarily an
apology. The latter implies you
were at fault. 1t is always wise
to talk over such differences with
a friend and try to bring about
happier relations.
Dear Miss Grey: care a
great deal about the young man
have been keeping steady COM
pany with for over a year. He
seems fond of me, too. and
resents 1t II l accept invitations
from other men. But he has
never mentioned marriage to
me. I am 22 and do not care to
go with him years and not mar
ry even tho l love him. Some
OF my best friends have advised
all I'D hso tnf0ntinnQ
Do you think this would be the
best plan? SARAH.
This course would be eInbaxras-
sing, and very difficult to carry
out. A less startling and more
diplomatic way to handle the sit
uatiOn could be devised. Suppose
you assume a little indifference
Accept some Of the other Invita-
lions you receive and let yoW
friend know that other men seeE
your society. II his intentions are
more than friendly, he will soor
let you know.
Dear Miss Grey: l am a wo-
man 80 years old. I work to
support my children not having
lived with my husband for four
years. l am just getting my d.
vorce now. Near my home
man and his wife lived an un-
happy life for 80 years. The
woman was always Ill until
about six months ago, when she
died. The man became friendly
with me after the death of his
wife, and asked me to marry
him. People around here talk
about him and say that he treat
ed his first wife cruelty. This
man is SIS and has no trade. l
do not care for him, but he
comes to my home and makes
me say will marry him or he
| will kill himself. / don't know
what to do. Please advise me.

Dear Miss Grey: When l
wake in the morning | find my
self covered with perspiration.
Is this good for the health? One
of my friends says l have bad
blood. What is the cause Of this
sweating?
A WOODSMAN SOMEWHERE
IN THE FOREST.
"Night sweats" usually come
from q weakened state Of the sys-
tean. This may come from several
causes and only u physician after
u thoro examination can tell the
cause. First be sure, however,
that you have plenty of fresh air
in your sleeping room; that 1t Is
not too warm; and that you are
not too heavily covered. Any Of
these conditions, instead Of i'll.
health, might cause the perspira-
ton.

Dear Miss Grey: Our son was
four years old when my husband
took out his first citizenship
papers in 1891. He is about to
get his second papers now. Will
that make this son citizen OF
the United States?
1 am sorry to disappOint you
but IS your son is past n now
he cannot be naturalized by his
fathers citizenship. He must gel
papers Of his own.
Dear Miss Grey: l have ac-
copied the company of a young
man who works where l do. We
had an engagement for an even
ing not long ago, but l found l
could not leave home. l told
him this two days before the
date and he said, alright, we
will cancel it." Since then he
scarcely speaks to me. 1t makes
me very unhappy when / see him
talking to other girls, without
giving me an opportunity to find
out what has made him angry.
What should | do? Should l
leave this firm in order to for
get him? E. Il.
do. Just go on as tho nothing ha<
happened. He will forget all abOu
his crouch in time. Or IL he doe
not, you will know that his friend
ship had little foundation.
Dear Miss Grey: What Is the
pay of an infantry second lieu
tenant? Is he supposed to send
half of his pay to his wife. or
only such portion as he wishes?
II wife should write to the
War Department about this
would the department take it
up with the husband?
STRANGER.
A second lieutenant gets $17o(
year. He is not required to sent
u definite amount to his family
as he Is supposed to arrange him
self for the care Of lbs dependents
Neither does the government sent
a seperate amount to the wife o
an officer. IL, however, an office
neglects to provide for his family
the government will direct him u
do SO. Ii you intend to complain
of your husbands conduct in thi
respect, take it up with him first
II he still fails to do what h
should, advise with the Depart
mcnt Of Civilian Relief for tn
local Red Cross. 1t is well to bea
in mind that an officers expense
for clothes and equipment ~
large and that he is compelled b
meet the requirements.
