situation is Worse.

LONDON. April 5.-The situation
In southern Russia recently has be-
come distinctly worse from an Allied
viewpoint, mainly owing to the short
age of food, according to dispatches
to the Press Association. 1t is not
feared that military reasons will COM
pei the allies to evacuate Odessa, but
there is a possibility it Is said, that
the city will become so short of food
that it will be unable to support an
occupying force.
Important developments on the
Murmansk front in northern Russia
may be expected in few days owing
to a threatened dissection of Finnish
troops, according TO the Mail. 1t Is
said that 1t was to meet this danger
that American detachments were sent
on two American cruisers, which VIII
reach Murmansk early this week.
President Wilson is reported TO
have ordered the sailors OF the two
cruisers to land with the troops II

Wasting Your Time
ShOrtenS Your Lille

Don't waste the winter months.
Don't believe that you can go to
school next year just as well as
you can this year.
Don't think that somehow or
another you will manage to get
along without an education.
Don't believe that the world has
not changed in the last fifty years
for it has. and is now demanding
more ability. more training, more
energy, and more hard work than
ever before from the young person
who wants. to win worthwhile
place.
! Don't you know that the men
and women of all ages who have
accomplished things have been
people o. decision?
.They were able to decide today
what they ought to do. and more
than that. they were able to act
promptly upon their decisions.
Don't you know that success is
merely the power that comes from
the habit Of doing little things
well-the power that enables men
or women to meet the big crisis
successfully?
Don't yon know that it is foo
lish, utterly foolish, to believe
that you can blaze new trail tc
the goal that we call success
Don't you know thatif hundreds
of thousands who have gone be-
fore you have found it necessary
to study. to work, and to think ir
order to succeed. that the whole
plan of the universe will not bt
changed for you, and that you viii

Sacrifice.

Love means sacrifice and apprecia-
ton. And the man who thinks he
loves and has not the spirit of sacrifice
only is administering to his self-grati-
fication. All of the big emotions have
coupled with their expression an under
lying element of capacity for repres
sion. 1t is the ability to give or with
hold that makes their true value, ano
since love is the greatest of all these
then the greater should be the power
of sacrifice.--Alden.

find the embryo snake within the leath-

always oval. AS rule il is the con-
strcting snake, or those which kill
their prey by squeezing it, that lay
eggs; such as the black snake, boa con-

international Congress in Wash
ington to discuss means of assist
ing in the development of cable

the nations and continents of the

The long absent fishing tug Orion,

The long absent fishing tug Orion, bearing Messrs. Christ Gudmundsun and John Olson. arrived in port last night after an extended trading and fishing trip along the coast below the mouth of the Yukon.
 The vessel brought about ton each of cod and king salmon in addition to a quantity of furs obtained by trade with the natives of the Hooper Bay and Kuskokwim region. The cod fish were caught only a sort distance from Nome and are said to he of average size and quality. The catch is conclusive demonstra ton that cod may be caught in commercial quantities in this part of Bering Sea, as the entire cod cargo was landed on board the Orion with hand lines within the course of n few hours fishing.

 Mir. McGirk's cabin aboard the
 schooner was formerly the study of
 the famous Stevenson during his voy- ages among the South Sea Islands and
 has doubtless witnessed the birth of
 many a tale of adventure no less mys-
 terious and alluring than that in which
 the vessel is at present participating.
 Those aboard the schooner assert that the mystery surrounding the vessel was
 q serious handicap to her departure from San Francisco and brought her
 under the suspicion of being engaged in |filibustering. After many official hin- drances due to this cause the vessel was allowed to depart. On the voyage north the schooner was delayed off the Aleutian's by fog and was unable to find the pass. After laying up for several days the passage into Bering Sea was located and the vessel pro- ceeded to Dutch Harbor where the fourth of July was celebrated by the |argonauts. The vessel put into Nome for the purpose of picking up mail and securing few needed commodities be- fore setting out on the last stage of her
 Journey to the Siberinn wilds.
 Mir. McGirl< claims there is nothing mysterious about the expedition be- yond that it is desirable not to reveal the exact destination. He says the party is in possession of certain know ledge concerning the locality for which it is bound and says the information was obtained from parties who spent several years in the district where the expedition is going. He asserts that the party is not aware of any Gal conda of wealth but expects to go in and explore the country and find out what it contains. The schooner will probably he sent out before the ice closes in next fall but it is expected that the bulk of the party will remain in Siberia. The expedition is well outfitted and the Casco carries power launch and a number of small boats among the equipment. The schooner iS of huir ic ha command of Capt. C. l.. Oliver The prospects of being held up be the ice is apparently no deterrent to the ex- petition and the schooner will proceed to the Siberian coast some time this evening and attempt to get through the straits.

Announcement of meteorological phenomena of more than passing mo- ment occurring in the vicinity of the Omalik silvet mine on Fish River. is contained in reports reaching Council to the effect that several tundra fires were started by lightning in that local- ity during the present month.
 Persons residing in the vicinity of the mine report that four small tundra fires were started by lightning flashes during a thunder storm occurring on July Il. The parties reporting assert that there is no mistake about the source of the fires and that they were undoubtedly started by the lightning. Another fire of large dimensions, which is reported still burning. developed during Il second thunder storm occur ing on July 13 The last blaze is lo- cated just over the divide between Council and Ready Bullion creek and covers an extensive area.
 Owing to the messy character of the tundra. the possibility of fires being started in this manner are readily ap- parent, although this is the first in- stance so far as known where tundra fires could be definitely traced to such cause The reports suggest the possi- blity that many of the fires attributed to someone's carelessness have their origin in lightning.
