LATE CABLE NEWS

NEW YORK: Frank Bohn in the New York Times: The Ukraine is an independent state. Russia is no more. With Finland independ- ent, Poland and Lithuania in the iron clutch of the Kaiser, the Pe- trograd usurpers probably control the cities and towns contained in an irregular piece of territory ex- tending from the Gulf of Finland south to the Ukraine and indefinite ly eastward, insofar as they make connections with local soviets. They are not a government. Surely, they cannot speak for more than 20,- 900, ,0OO of people, probably for only about 1O,000,000. These few they cannot organize, they cannot feed and clothe, and cannot set to work. So the end of the BOlshevism is near.

From the confident security or absence of fear exhibited by cer- tain young ladies of Treadwell and Douglas last week, who investigated, inspected and explored the stopes, crosscuts and winZes in the depths of the Ready Bullion mine, all doubt may be dispelled as to their courage and adaptibility, if any circumstance should require that they aid in the production of Alaska's mineral out put.
 The ladies were the dining room employees; they donned the miners garb and went down ladders and up again as if inured and duty bound to some ordinary household service

IRELAND EXPECTED
 TO PRODUCE MUCH
 FOOD PRESENT YEAR

DUBLIN, March Food produc- ton in Ireland this year is expected to exceed all records, according to the announcement of Sir Thomas Russell. of the Irish Department of Agriculture, who has made arrange ments for the tilling in 1916 of 5OO.' 900 acres of land in addition to that under cultivation last year, when 750,000 more than in 1916 were planted. The increase this year will be compulsory.
 The government has guaranteed the farmers against loss. Sir Thom- as reported that there had been no serious difficulty in forcing the in crease in planting last year and that only 1,064 farmers had refused to carry out the instructions of the gov ernment. Of these 800 had yielded, under pressure, and he stated that the farms of the remaining 264 would be operated by the Department or Agriculture.

Considerable Enrolment Marked Progress Since the School First
 Started.
THE INTEREST IS KEEN
Students Find New Short hand System Simple and Easy to
 Master.

The determination to win success is the result of ones effort to achieve the thing that he desires and is interested in doing, and one cannot expect to ge out of this eff fort any more than he is willing to put into it. The classes in Short hand and Typewriting at the night school is good demonstration of this rule.
 In December, the night school opened it's doors to the public of Juneau, offering. different branches of study, among other subjects, in struction in shorthand and type writing. A considerable number enrolled for this branch of study and the work progressed so favora-
 bly during the first month, that 1t was necessary to start a second be-
 ginner's class in January. This
 was done and this second class had
 their first instruction on Thursday evening January 10. At the pres ent time twenty-two are enrolled in thOCO SidooCo. nc lnlcIcSI 0Au enthusiasm in these classes Is run ming at high pitch and the rald progress that has been made by these students is satisfactory sign that their determination will win success. The first class attained speed of 100 words per minute at the end of three months, while
 the second class wrote 60 words per minute after two months in- struction. The attainment of this
 speed in writing in so short a space
 of time is considered remarkable. but the instructor, F. A. Britain,
 states that correspondingly greater
 results may be looked for with the l close of each months work and
 that at the end of the five months course. these students will be pre- pared to take the Government exam nations.
 All the students find the "New Raid Shorthand" is very simple and easily learned and that they are
 able to read their Shorthand notes like print. This. in part. is made
 possible by the resemblance of the
 writing to that of longhand. to- gether with the absence of long
 lists of word signs to memorize, for
 with this system. every word is
 written from principal and there is principal for the writing of each word. thus making the writing clear and plain.

WHALING INTERESTS WILL CONSOLIDATE
 IN THE NORTHWEST

SEATTLE.-In the greatest con solidation of interests fn the Pa cifc whaling industry in many years, the American Pacific Whaling Company of Bay City, Grays Har- Dor, purchased the North Pacific Reproducing Company and all it's interests, including the whaling fleet that makes it's home port in Seattle The head offices of the North Pacific Seaproducing Com pany will be moved from Minneap- olis tC Seattle.
 The American Pacific Whaling Company is owned by the same in- terests that own the powerful Vic toria Whaling Company so that all three companies now Belohg to the same group of capitalists. Each company will continue to be oper- ated as an independent organiza- tion.
 The North Pacific Seaproducts Co.,, heretofore owned by the Birk land intrests of Minneapolis, has always been Seattle institution to all intents and purposes but has had it's headquarters in Minneapo- lis. The headquarters will now be mover to Seattle, giving Elliott Bay more definite footing in the North Pacific whaling industry.
 r The purchase of the North Pacific Seaproducts Company has been un- der negotiation for several weeks. William Schupp of Toronto, Ont, president of the American Pacific Whaling Company and the Victoria Whaling Company, and w. A. Law son of Vancouver, B. C., who is vice president of both of those corpor- ations, came West two weeks ago to close up the negotiations. Pres ident Schupp left for Minneapolis last week and the deal was con summated there at meeting of Schup and K. B. Kirkland, founder and president of the North Pacific Seaproducts Company.
 The North Pacific Seaproducts Company owns and operates great whaling station at Akutan, Aleutian Islands, and a fleet of three steam whalers, one schooner and one barge. The whalers are the Uni mak, Kodiak and Tanginak. The chooner is the Halcyon and the barge is the Fresno. All five yes sells have made Seattle their home port for years.
 The American Pacific Whaling Company owns and operates big whaling station at Bay City, Grays Harbor, and four steam whalers, the Aberdeen, the Westport, the Moran and the Patterson.
 The Victoria Whaling Company owns and operates four large sta tions, eight steam whalers and one whaling tender. Two of the sta tions are on Vancouver Island, one at Sechrist and the other at Kyu- quot. The other two are situated in the Queen Charlotte Islands. one at Rose Harbor and the other at Naden Harbor. The Victoria Com pany's eight steam whalers are the William Grant, the St. Lawrence, the Black, the Blue, the Brown, the White, the Green and the Orion. The whaling tender is the Gray, a vessel of 1000 tons deadweight ca pacity.
 The new deal, therefore, brings under one ownership total of six big whaling stations and fleet of eighteen vessels.

LONDON: The Germans have had the edge on the Allies in the matter of sniping, says Corporal k. Derby Holmes. The Boche sniper is nearly always armed with a per iscope-telescope rife. This is a specially built super-accurate rifle mounded on a periscOpe frame. It is thrust up over the parapet and the image of the opposing para pet is cast on a little ground-glass screen on which are two crossed ines. At 150 yards or less the image is brought up to touching dis tance seemingly. Fritz simply trains his piece on some low place or anywhere that head may be ex- pected. When one appears on the screen he pulls the trigger. The shooter never shows himself.
