Velocity of Light.

The velocity of light was obtained
by the Danish astronomer Roemer In
1876 by observing the eclipses of Jupi'
ter's moons. When the earth was
nearest to Jupiter, the eclipse ap-
peared about eight and one-half min.
utes too soon for the calculations, and
when the earth was most remote from
Jupiter, they were about eight and one
half minutes too late. Roemer conclud-
ed the reason to be that it required IL
minutes for light from the planet to
traverse the diameter of the earth'S
orbit which measured the difference
of the distances of the earth from
Jupiter. This calculation has since
been verified, and proves that light
travels about $4,000 miles second.

MADE IN HELL" GOODS
Should, and Must Be Barred
From the American Public
We Have Had Enough
of German Intrigue.

1t is time the people of the
United States get together and
devise a means of preventing the
Germans from flooding the
American markets with German
made goods after the peace con
ference-and right now at that.
1t is stated that individual
Germany and Germans III the
United States are making pre-
parations to throw upon the
American market, goods made
IN Germany Immediately upon
the ending of the war, says the
Manufacturers Record.
These men are said to be ex-
perts in their own lines, and are
organized for the purpose of
hel ping Germany in her struggle
to capture trade after the war.
1t is none to soon to begin the
campaign against the importa-
ton OF German-made goods.
Imagine for one moment any
American mother giving to her
baby toys made in Germany
while she thinks of the tens of
thousands of babies murdered
by Germany in this war now
fresh in our minds Every toy
made in Germany and every
other piece of goods of every kind
will for generations bear a
bloody stain that all the waters
of all the oceans can never wash
out.
Nevertheless there are people
in this country who, for the saw
ing Of a few cents, or because
they nave no moral sensibilities,
would gladly buy German-made
goods.
1t matters not to them that
everything 'made in Germany"
should be stamped with the real
truth, "made in He'll"
No German made goods should
be permitted to come into this
country. We want neither Ger
mans nor German products to
curse this nation with their
presence.
What we do want, is real
Americans from now on.
Remember your boy fought,
and your boy knows of the
damnable, treacherous nature of
the Germans he went over to
fight. Maybe that boy lies in
France, killed by some German.

more the heart of Paris than the Place

HIGH COST OF
 0PERATlNCIS
 BIG HANDICAP

Two million. five hundred thousand dollars in gold is the estimated pro duCtion for the season of 1918 in that part of Alaska tributary to the gov crnment railroad according to the re port of the land and industrial depart mcnt of the Alaskan engineering com mission.
 "BeCause of the high price and scarcity of nearly all materials need ed in the prosecution of the mining industry. and as a result of the short age of labor. the yield of gold and other miners was not so large in 1918 as it otherwise would have been" says the report.
 "The Willow Creek mining district which is the richest gold quartz dis trict in Alaska. produced about $3O0. 900 in gold in the season of 1918. There were about 200 men in the dis trict during the summer months, which is about fifty fewer than there were in 1917
 "A development of the 1918 season was the discovery that at least some of the ores in the district carry plat mum values. A sample recently sent to Denver, Colo. for testing purposes returned assay values of fraction more than seven ounces in gold and IA ounces of platinum. Need for Better Roads
 While considerable improvement has been made in transportation ia ciities in the Willow Creek district. | the prime necessity is better roads between the district and Wasilla which is on the government railroad sixteen miles distant
 rThc Cache Creek district in the season of 1918 produced $200000 in placer gold. The number of men in the district during the season did not average more than l25. The oper- ators of the large dredgc, which has been in the district three seasons, de clare that because of the high cost of materials and labor they do not plan to work next season
 The building of the government railroad to Talkectna. 10 which the laying of steel is progressing now, will greatly aid the Cache Creek district, if improvement is made in the wagon road between Talkeetna and this dis trict."

Community Opera.

Announcement that the community
opera of 81 Pagliacci" has been trans
ferred from Central High School to
Liberty Hut promises a larger accom-
mediation for the public than even the
commodious school auditorium hitherto
used for these presentations. But even
Liberty Hut is not big enough to hold
the people who wish to hear these per-
formances, which have in the past been
of high order of merit and are wor-
thy of the fullest patronage. Nothing
more clearly illustrates the need of a
large community assembly hall. I'm
der the conditions in which the High
School auditorium is available for such
performances it is impossible to charge
admission, even the smallest, and ex-
penses must be paid by the taking Of
collections, which are usually made
quate. If a very small charge could
be made at the door the cost of these
productions could be easily met. The
same condition will prevail at Lib.
