Engineering commission in order
that he may devote his entire time
to the management of the Healy
River Coal corporation The resig-
nation will be effective as soon as

Regarding the appointment of
successor, Engineer-in- Charge Fred'k
D. Browne informed a representa-
tive Of The News this morning that
he had requested Chairman Mears
to send man in from the coast 10
take charge of the store. This ac-
ton was taken, he explained, with
a view 10 getting a man expert
enced in the work and familiar with
Anchorage methods. He suggested
that the Cooney stage would reach
Talkeetna within a short time and
that it would be possible for the
new storekeeper 10 make the trip
back with that conveyance without
loss of time
Mr. Markus entered the employ
of the Alaskan Engineering commits
sion about eighteen months ago,
coming to Nenana from Fairbanks,
where he held a position as manager
of the hardware department of the
Northern Commercial company for
number of years. Recently he
became interested. in the Healy River
Coal corporation; is one of the in
corporators, in fact, and his asso-
ciates have prevailed upon him 10
take active charge of the work. One
Of the partners IS already in the
States, q second is enroute, and

aging the mine, will leave for tn
Outside as soon as Mr.. Markus Is

general storekeeper.
The output of the company's
mine, known as the Burns mine. was
something over a thousand tons las
month, and it will be greater this
month, in spite of the fact that con-
siderable dead work is in progress.
The mine employs about twenty men
al present and shipments Of coal
are made frequently TO the local
bunkers of the Alaskan Engineering
commission, with occasionally car
for private consumers.
When Mr. Markus leaves his pres
ent place TO take charge Of the
coal business. he will make his head
quarters at the mine, but will be a
frequent visitor in town in connec-
ton with his duties as manager.

the Society Of Friends had excellent

north to Kivalina, where no mission

HARNESS RACING IN
new ZEALAND B00MS
Meeting Can Be Held at Any Time
During Year.
At Canterbury Park Trottin0 Club
$500, 00O Passed Through Tetai'z-
ator, Operated Under License
From Government

Light harness racing has had a tre-
mendous growth in New Zealand dur
ing the past twenty years. On account
of the mildness of the climate, race
meetings can be held at any time dur
ing the year, the association now
being busy with their winter series.
On June 2 and 8, which corresponds
with December on this side of the
equator, the Canterbury Park Trot-
ting club held winter meeting at
which $1,000 was paid in premiums,
while more than 100000 passed
through the totalizator, which is the
legaliZed medium of speculation ard
operated under a license from the
government of the dominion. Almost
all of the races at this meeting were
handicaps, either to saddle or to
harness at from one to two miles.
In New Zealand the number of days
for each meeting is fixed by the gov
eminent license. very much on the
same plan as racing was held in Can
ada prior to the war. That the gov
eminent also receives a fair return
for the privilege is shown by the fact
that the tax for the two days at the
Canterbury Park meeting amounted to
more than $4,000, over one-half OF
which was the general tax on admis-
sions and the balance the dividend
from the machine.
The New Zealand Metropolitan
Trotting club is the leading club In
the dominion 1t holds three-day
meeting in November. at which the
most valuable event is the New Tea
land cup, with $500 sovereigns added
money and cup.
The New Zealand Trotting associa-
ton is the governing body in light
harness racing in the dominion. Ii
was organized in 1899, when P. Selig
of Christchurch was elected president.
He is still at the head of its affairs
while J. B. Norris is secretary.

GERMANSARE AFTER TRADE

1.-THE men are working furiously,
without pressure of any sort, up to
fourteen hours day to be ready to

first opportunity.
This German chairman of a Swiss
concern simply chuckled with glee
when he said: Our good German
workmen know their hands. They do
not want this easy day of eight hours
they want wealth. and they will have
it.
Germany is recuperating after the
war faster than any other nation
simply because, instead of giving way
to the reaction of peace and demand
ing the impossible by means of strikes.
she is working as hard as human
strength and brain allow to regain her
old commercial pinnacle and again he
the pre-war Germany.
Germany is out to provide the cheap-
est world market. and our eight-hour
industrial day will spell disaster for
us if we do not wake up" \
