THE DOG NUISANCE

Many complaints have been filed with the Daily Times during th9 past few weeks against allowing dogs to run at large in Cordova, and it is gratifying to know that the ci+.5 au- thorities have taken the matter in hand and propose to abate the nuis, ance Numerous warnings were is sued to the owners of canines that they must be kept off the streets, but no heed was paid to them, and as a result scores of dogs have enjoyed the freedom of the city, to the incOnveni- ence of pedestrians and great annoy ance of those who desired to enjoy little rest and sleep at night. In fact, the dogs have had the run of the town until finally number of citizens in- sisted that they, too, had some rights in the matter
 The local authorities have now taken the matter in hand and the main thoroughfare is no longer the camping ground for these dogs; neither do they make night hideous by their continual fighting. As was to be expected, a few individuals have objected to the enforcement of the dog ordinance, but the general public appreciates the eff forts of the city officials to rid the town of this nuisance, and will back them up in the good work begun, which should be carried to a success full conclusion.

HATCHERIES ARE NEEDED

The need of hatcheries in Alaska was never more apparent than at the present time The waters of this terri tory have been Overfshed during the past few years, and unless a more sat isfactory system of fish propagation is adopted this industry will not continue to be one of the mainstays of the coast towns
 It is the opinion of many experts that the fisheries are being depleted, and some immediate action must be taken. The most important step to increase the salmon run is to clean out the streams and protect the nat ural spawning grounds.
 Under the caption of Protecting the Salmon" the Juneau Dispatch has the following to say:
 Down in Oregon legislation has been passed protecting small sal mon At a meeting recently the can ners of the Columbia river met and agreed to live up to the letter or the law. The law provides that no salmon can be canned less than twenty inches in length. As a result the canners refuse to buy small salmon and they have to be released by the seiners and others.
 What Alaska really needs is CO., operation between federal and terri torial government to formulate regu- lations and laws to protect the fisher ies. Governor Riggs should see that men are placed on the territorial fish, cries board who will strive to accom- plish these things. A determined member of that board should be in Washington this winter to advise the bureau of fisheries just what is needed. He should have the support of every commercial body in Alaska"

BATTLE OF ARCONNE
 IS COMMEMORATED BY
 AMERICAN MONUMENTS

VERDUN, June 15 (by maiD.- Monuments to commemorate the achievements of the Americans in the battle of the Argonne are being built, details of the work being attended to by different army units.
 A series of concrete monuments, adorned with German machine guns, and in some instances with German helmets and rifles, has been put up to mark the front line of a division advance or to tell of the capture of a certain village by some regiment. Most of the monuments are being placed in prominent places near the main roads, when possible, so that they will serve as guide posts for tourists visiting the scenes where the Americans fought their greatest battle on French soil.

fire In the neighborhood In the mid

Father was out Of bed with the
first stroke of the alarm and rushed
downstairs. Mother and I were little

FACTS ABOUT LEGAL TENDER
Points in Law Which Seem to Show
That Money Can Sometimes
Not Be Money.

In Philadelphia police court num-
Der of years ago there came up an in
teresting question that related to "a
nickel
The coin in question had been offer
ed to a street car conductor by
tough citizen, who, inspired by m al
coholic sense of humor, inserted II in
the toe of his boot and proffered it
thus.
row ensued, which wound up in
court, where the conductor was ylndl-
Gated, the judge declaring that he was
under no obligation to accept money
offered in such fashion.
What constitutes a lawful tender
of money is a question that occupies
many pages In the law books, IN ex-
change remarks
A man has been known to offer Il
bucketful of pennies in payment of a
debt to Il creditor with whom he had
quarrel; and in most instances the
creditor has felt obliged to accept the
coin.
But there was no such Obligation for
pennies under the law of the United
Stntes are not legal tender in amounts
above 25 cents. If you owe me a dol
lar and offer me 100 pennies 1t Is no
payment unless I choose to accept
them.
How about nickels? Exactly tho
same. They are not legal tender in
amounts over % cents.
Silver dimes, quarters and half dol-
lars are legal tender up to $40 Above
that sum they may be refused and the
creditor may justly claim that no law
full proffer of money has been made to
him.

Air Affects Sneed of Trains.

The effects of air resistance are we'll
shown In the 12k-mile Simplon tunnel,
where an exceptionally high amosnt OF
energy is required for running the cleo.
trio trains. The tunnel. which is 10
feet wide and IS feet high, with
sectional area of $50 square feet, has a
ventilating current of $3.50 square feet
of air a second, maintained by two
large blast fans at the Brique end and
two exhaust fans ut Iselle. Trains
going with this current encounter less
resistance than in open air up to 1o1a
miles as hour. but In higher speeds
or In the opposite direction the resist
ance is much greater than outside.
Coasting by gravity down the Z to 1000
maximum gradient, train, even
though going with the current, cannot
exceed 35 miles an hour on account of
the braking by tho air.

In many villages In Berkshire and
Hampshire. England. the ancient Gus
tom of "Wetting the Block" IS still
kept up. The Crispins of these two
counties used to meet together on the
evening Of the first Monday in March
and celebrate the fact that they had
ceased working by candle-llght.
There was sometimes a supper pro-
yided by the employer, on these occa-
sions; there was always n little to
drink. After the meal was ended. the
block eandlestick was placed in the
middle of the room. the shop candle
was lighted, and when ali glasses were
filled. the oldest hand poured the con
tents of his glass over the candle TO
extinguish 1t.
