Probably one of the most inter esting conventions which has been held n Skagway for several years past was that of the Mayors Of tho cities located on the White Pass railway.
 For the purpose of settling tho all imOortant coal question, repre- sentatives were assembled here in convention to make q final dispost- tion and daily sessions have been held eyer since the aTriyal in this port Of the Steamship Cordoya up on which it was agreed the success of the meeting was largely depend ant. ]
 The convention was called to or der by 4MinuteMan Hahn, who gave 9 brief outline Of what was eXpec- ted at the sessions, and among O. ther questions to be considered, he said Was the one governing the pre- cedence of the forward and after hatch committees. He said that it had been the custom for a number of years past to allow the after hatch committee the privelege of de- bate while filling the vacancies. Many other needed revisions were mentioned by this able speaker.
 Chairman Stowers, of the comit- tee on credentials presented the names ot the delegatesentiled to sit in the convention as follows:
 Mayor Chris Compton of Pen ningtou. Mayor KRute Anderson and Coucilma Johnny Wise of Cowley, Mayor Mike Vucinich and City Clerk Ed Mergeson of Bennett, Mayor Dennis Kostis of Log Cabin, R. L. Good rs Carcross and Murphy and Rago WhitehOrse.
 The delegates to the March con yention are practically all new mem bers and have only participated in one other similar convention, but hefore the work which came before them was half completed they all showed that they Were of the right material, and entered upon their various duties with vim that for told the success of the meeting.
 The subject for which the con venton was called was a heavy one, and it was concede by all that the greatest caution should e taken or harm might follow the improper dis position of the matter.

Rubber in Fiji. islands.

According to a published statement of his majesty'S trade commissioner to New Zealand, who has lately visited the Fill Islands. the rubber industry Is receiving much attention in those islands, and New Zealand farmers have planted large plantations there that have produced quantities of rub Der reported to be oS very high grade It is claimed that the" are thousands of acres in the Fiji islands that are we'll adapted to this industry. and it Is expected that extensive develop ments will follow. The price of rub Der at present seems very low, since the market is so greatly restricted be- cause of the war, but it is expected when normal conditions are restored that this will be come a profitable ln- dustry in these islands, where labor Is comparatively cheap.

Luckily, He Wasn't Fired Upon.

There was one Yankee private In Thiaucourt who took a chance, but he couldn't resist the temptation. When his mates first saw him they were uncertain whether he was the kaiser or the crown prince as they rushed forward to make the capture.
 For he was riding a German officers horse, he had on German officers helmet, and on his chest was pinned the iron cross, all left by German off, cers in their rush to safety. The Yank squad, bent upon making an impor- tant capture, were trlfe disgusted to find that It was only Private Jones Of the infantry.

Youthful Hero Is Pride of Sunny
 Italy

On going to see the army of the Grappa a writer for the MarZocco met the smallest soldier in the ltal- ian army-a boy refugee Of twelve, in the telephone service. Ills uniform bears distinctive marks for wounds Besides he has been decorated. His name is Patriarca. He was born at San Daniele of Friuli. His parents died when he was very young and he worked Ill Q carpenters shop.
 After CapOretto he left his native country, and from that day the war began for hlm. In the retreat he join ed detachment of arditi, and with them performed prOdigieS of valor. On Monte TOmba, in November, when the German hOrdes pressed on from the Quero to overcome the defenSeS of Mount Grappa and of the Plave at one stroke, he went out in a squad with several ardlti. He carried three hand grenades, larger than his little hands, but the arditi had taught him to throw them like stones at the swal- lows.
 He arrived at the lines and pushed on to a point well within the enemy lines till he reached a group of Ger mans, comprising a PrusSian officer and three soldiers with machine guns. A grenade shot out from his hand, and 1t was well aimed. The officer was crushed to earth. The frighten- ed soldiers raised their hands. The boy threatened them, gesticulating with the other bombs.
 He drove the three big soldiers be- fore him like sheep, dragging their machine gun. This story, which reads like fable, is only a single page in the marvellous military history of Mas ter -Italian-American News Bureau.

Italy Pays High Tribute To The
 Americans

Capt. Giuseppe Beviohe now in the United States. has written a friend in Rome as follows:
 America shows the friendlicSt dis position toward Italy at present. The change, If there was change, has been due to the astonishing Piave vic tory. What I want to tell you, in or der that you may repent it to all our friends. Is that America has thrown herself in the war and k fighting for a full and complete victory with all her immeasurable forces and with a power of will which is almost re ligiOus.
 Tt Is an apoStlcship of faith which has occurred, as if by the appearance of a new Messiah. But swear to you that your faith will not be betrayed. We do not realize the extent of this world of limitlcSS resources. Inhabited and worked by a new. fresh people, free and well disciplined, proud and resolved to make sublime history. We have only Il vague, unClear and inadequate idea of what lies beyond the seas.
 Tt Is necessary to come here; It Is necessary to tread this generous soil, which holds so many treasures, with our own feet. It is necessary to breathe this feverish air to understand and to believe that through the final, painful sacrifices. the reign of justice Is biding it's time, to avert its Su- premacy In the world."-Italian Amer lean News Bureau.

ExnIalninu Shower of Fishes.

A recent shower of fishes at Tendon, a suburb of Sunderland, England, Oc- cured about D. m., during a heavy thundershower, and lasted about ten minutes. A. Meek of Dove Marine laboratory, states in Nature that the fall was confined to an area of about a third of an acre. The fishes were all about three inches long and all sandeels, a marine species often pres ent In great shoals along the English beaches. The place of fall is a quar- ter of mile from the seashOre. It Is found probable that the fishes, num- bsring several hundred, were drawn by a waterspout from the bay to the southeast and transported by the easterly breeze at least half a mile. As the fishes were all dead the evil dence that inland waters may have been stocked with marine forms from the air is not conclusive.

MALTA BOYS RETURN
FROM SIBERIAN WASTES

Three Phillips county boys with a
war record lasting nearly two years
returned Wednesday morning. They
are Emmett wilkins of Alkali; Eli
hickman and Fred Dacota, of Phil
lips.
These boys enlisted in January, 1918,
and went to California. In a short
time they were taken to the Philip
pines where they had six months
training and then were sent to Siberia,
where they spent 13 months guarding
railroads and holding down bolshevik
u%prisings.
They are not at all loud in their
praise of Russia, saying it is a mighty
lonesome place where you never see
anyone with whom you can hold a con-
versation except the men of your own
camp. These men were stationed 200
miles inland and the only American
women they saw during their entire
stay were those connected with the
Red Cross and the Y. NJ. C. A.
Some Of the boys, so they report
have become so melancholy from the
long %silences that it is necessary tt
watch them to keep them from com
hitting suicide. Two did kill them
selves just before these boys left.
1t took them 50 days to get from
their Siberian camp to San Francisco

TO BRING ATLANTIC
NEARER TO MONTANA
Widening of St. Lawrence River Will
Open Great Lakes to European
Ships.

The Atlantic ocean will be brought
1900 miles nearer to Montana, sc far
as carrying cargoes on ocean steam
ships is concerned, if the plans of the
Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Tidewater
association to deepen and widen the
St. Lawrence river are carried out to
permit the Atlantic freight boats to
use the Welland canal and enter the
Great Lakes.
Charles P. Craig of Chicago, vice
president of the association, spent
last week in Montana explaining the
joint plan of Canada and the United
States to make the St. Lawrence ma
vigable for ocean going vessels to
commercial clubs in the bigger cities
of the state in an effort to enlist their
support in the movement. The Mon
tana commercial clubs will give their
support and get behind the movement
with all their power, for the carrying
out of the plan Of the association.
At present the status of the con-
templated improvements is that the
Joint international boundary commits.

DDS for recommendation to the state
department of each nation.
When the commission members re,
port to their respective governments
the next step is an agreement OF
treaty with the necessary approva
of the state department and the sen
ate of the United States and similar
bodies in Canada. Then the neces
sary appropriations must be made by
the two governments for the widen
ing and deepening of the river so a:
to enable ocean going vessels to us'
the new Welland canal, under construc
ton by Canada, and the St. Lawrenc,
to enter the lakes. Under the con
templated improvements the larges
freight carriers now travelling the sea-
could load at Duluth or any other lax
port and unload at Liverpool, Eng
land, " any other seaport in tn

This state will benefit more per cap
