CORN DEVELOPS
STRENGTH TODAY

Chicago, Sept. 20.-Corn developed
considerable strength today as a result
OF frosts last night. Predictions of
additional frost'tonight tended also to
stimulate buying. Action OF the ex-
change directors putting a stop to new
business in the September delivery
counted, however, as a handicap on
the bulls. Opening prices which
ranged from 1-8 to 7-8 cents higher.
Der SLAB ga to $50. was followed
by slight further gains. and then a
general reaction.
Oats hardened with corn. Trading
though, was light, and price changes
narrow. After opening a shade off to
1-8@1-4 higher with October 70 3-4,
the market rose a little all around and
then eased back.
Provisions had an upward slant.
Notice was taken Of the fact that ship
ments were liberal compared with a
year ago.

Weakness prevailed later owing to
commission house selling due to in
creasing belief that the bulk of the
crop was safe regardless of frost. The
close was heavy, / 3-8 to 2 Ia cents
net lower with October $1.5O SIS to
ga and November $1.47 5-8 to ga.
Subsequently declines in the hos
market carried provisions down grade.

The local United States Customs office today received the following telegram from the Radio operator at Petersburg.
 Unusual amount of ice running in Frederick Sound and Wrangell Narrows. The Cape Spencer light is extinguished.
 In both instances, there is ser ious menace to navigation. It is believed that the ice flow is from the glaciers. Undoubtedly lake has broken in the local glaciers causing an unusual quantity of ice to be shed into the sea.

ALASKA NOTES

A. B. Shea, who has been an en- gineer in the Copper King mine Tor a time, has gone to Fort seward where he will join the colors, says | the Valdez Miner. He has been in
 the North for the past five years,
 his home being in San Diego, from
 which point two brothers and sis ter have gone to the front.
 According to the reports of trap pers arriving from the Upper Tan ana very good season was experien- ced. despite deep snows and a scar city of rabbits and ptmarigan. It is reported that Chas. Maxwell and Ed Smith, two oldtimers of Fair
 banks, who have been running
 roadhouse and ferry on the Clearwa- ter, trapping between times, recent iy shipped out 45 lynx to the States, receiving an average of S26 per skin for the bunch
 Game birds and waterfowl of ev- cry description are reported very plentiful in Yukon this Spring, owing to the abolition of spring shooting. The rivers and ponds are virtually alive with them, and some good shooting is promised next fall, ac cording to the Valdez Miner.
 According to the Valdez Miner, the Valdez Packing Company has shipped about 18,000 cases of salmon already this year and is running part or all the time, getting nearly all the fish needed to supply both lines of machinery.
 Prospectors arriving at Fairbanks recently report that owing to the disappearance of the rabbits this year and owing to the scarcity of grouse and ptarmigan large owls are frequently found dead from star vation, and that hawks and ravens hang about the camps to pick up scraps. The utter disappearance fl rabbits worked a great hardship on wild animals in the Territory last Winter as well as upon the Ma tives.
 Eskimo tax dodgers of Cape Prince of Wales in the farthermOst part of Alaska have no easy time of it, as they are forced by the Native coun- cils to pay or work according to copies of The Eskimo, Native school publication. The Wales coun- cil has ordered that the men who fail to pay the village head tax eith- CT in labor or cash must keep the water holes open in the river all Winter, which is no small job, con sidering that the ice is from six to1 twelve feet thick. The rest of the tribal slackers were required to make trail oyer the ice between the viii lage and Tin City. This trail is used by the Natives for hauling inl wood and it is so rough and bad that last year woman died from

Sergeant Harold Baldwin Tells

Sergeant Harold Baldwin, author,
pioneer and Canadian soldier. was the
principal speaker at the Salvation
Army Workers meeting at the Com
mercial club Saturday night. Baldwin
was one OF Canada's western home
steaders when England went into the
war. He wears blue stripe on his
shoulder, which designated him as
being a member of Canada's first ex-
,peditionary force, and a red stripe
on his sleeve which marks him as
being a member of Great Britain's
"Contemptibles first force to
land in France. In spite of the fact
that he walks as erectly as any we'll
drilled infantryman, he has lost one
leg in France.
He gave vivid descriptions of the
war as it is fought on the western
front. He stated that the most cheer
full men in the army are the men that
are doing the fighting, i'll spite of all
their hardships. In the first trip
lover the top he was in a cold
sweat. He admits he was afraid.
but that he was more afraid of hav
ing others know of his fear than of
German bullets.
Believes in Predestination.
Soldiers are firm believers in pre-
destination" said the sergeant "A
man generally knows when he is
going to get his In my first ex-
perience | saw my company going
over the top as if in a dream and
didn't realize ! was over myself until

Sergeant Baldwin firmly believes
that one minute under fire will bet
ter teach man how TO take to cover
than six months OF training at home,
He quoted the definition of one Tom
my on trench warfare as being
months of deadly monotony, alter
mated by weeks of terrible fear"
In closing, Sergeant Baldwin rec
commended the Salvation Army high
ly, stating that he believes it gets
into closer touch with the men than
any other organization.
Other speakers were DR.. Knowles
of the local Salvation Army drive
committee, who explained the plans
for the drive. and Private F. c. Nc
Donald of the First Canadian Mount
