banks.
Shortly afterward the wars infiu-
ence became noticeable in Alaska.
Many Of those who had been engaged
in mining or prospecting left to offer
their services to one or other of the
allies; prices of commodities climbed
rapidly, and freights, always burden,
assumed alarming proportions. With
the progress of the war these condi-
lions were intensified until the point
was reached where only bonanza
mining property could be operated
with other than a certainty of facing
loss, at the close of the season They
reached their elimination during the
period when the United States was at
war and Alaska was answering the
call to the limit of its available man
hood and money. When the armistice
was signed mining operations had al
most entirely ceased and the greater
part of the resources Of the inhabi-
tants of the territory was represented
in Liberty bonds, war saving stamps
and contributions to Red Cross and
other war funds.
Alaskans, however, in common with
all pioneers, have the sanguine tenn
permanent which helps tone hardship
and disappointment, and breeds the
optimism that refuses to recognize de-
feat. While the cloud doomed darkest
they pinned their faith to the silver
lining and made plans for the future.
AS soon as the termination of the war
was assured the prospector and miner
in the Interior commenced to prepare
for renewed activities, confident that
with the return to normal conditions
and the completion of the government
railroad in the near future there would
be rapid decline of prices of the sup
plies that figure in the cost of opera
ton. A week ago there was promise
of greater activity in mining the COM
ing summer than has been evidenced
since 1914.
Developments of the past few days,
however, threaten these plans with
extinction and Alaska with a further
depletion of its population. This
exodus is already in being and is con-
sequent on the partial shutting down
of the work on the government rail
way because of the fact that the ap-
preparation for the year has been al
most exhausted and there is very
little more money with which to con-
tinue the work The immediate result
of this throwing out Of employment
of the men engaged on the railway
work is that those who have sufficient

= >>>>>>><>>>>>>>>

Some weeks ago, in the Red Cross
department Of the Daily Times, there
were printed some verses by Mrs. las
Gilmour, The Final Answer" to the
famous poem, IN Flanders Fields"
Since then Mrs. Gilmour has added
final verse, and the poem is here
given in full:
The Final Answer
In Flanders Fields, they who lie low
I. So quiet In each hallowed row
Beneath those mounds where nonn,o.

Have paio in vain the bitter price
In vain the final sacrifice.
In vain each cross, mute symbols dear
If they point not the pathway clear
From Calvary
To Flanders Fields.
But not in vain will they lie low
II we can see their faith aglow
Above each cross the way to show
To one true. righteous Brotherhood
The glory OF one Fatherhood.
All! then no mortal tongue could
How near to Christ were they who fell
For Liberty

And thus they plead, they who lie low.
I'VE shall not rest until we know
That We who live the cause will save
For which our lives we freely gave.
Not just to make men free we ask:
We leave to you greater task
That We should keep alive the seed
We watered with our blood. We
plead
For Brotherhood
From Flanders Fields"

NENANA MAKES
PLEA FOR AID
FOR RAILROAD

Nenana has a live Commercial Club,
and it is losing no opportunity to boost
Interior Alaska. Numerous resolu-
tons have been adopted, advocating
industrial development. and now a
plea is made for an appropriation with
which to continue work on the gov
eminent railway, as the present funds
are about exhausted. The following
communication has been mailed to
all members of the senate and house
of representatives.:

CONCRETE FOR MINES
INSTEAD OF TlMBERS

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 10 (by AS
ISOLATED Press).-Scarcity of mine
timber is serious problem that con-
fronts the anthracite coal mining in
dustry today.
Lumber is just as necessary in min
ing coal as is the drill, the blast, the
motor engine and the mine car.
Every foot of fresh wood is being jeal
ously husbanded for the reason that
practically all of the mountains in the
anthracite region have been denuded
of timber
Shipments of gangway, slope and
shaft timber from the south have been
largely cut off by demands of the
government. In instances, timber
shipped from Georgia consigned to
the mines was Communicated by the
government. Concrete is coming more
and more into use, but at the present
time timber is required and it is
scarce. Without it, progress cannot
be made in efforts to increase the out

nouneed at the annual meeting Of
the association, and. moreover, it has
put milk production on a stable and
sensible basis--fair, they assert, both
to the producer and the consumer.
The meeting Of the association was
largely in the nature Of iove-feast.
There were about 500 members pres
ent in the big hall OF odd Fellows
Temple, Baltimore when D. G. Harry.
president, called the gathering to or
der and made brief Introductory ad-
dress, in which he dealt with some Of
the plans for an educational campaign
in the interest of greater consumption
Of milk. and also for protecting the
dairymen against abuses such as the
constant theft OF milk cans. l. w
Heaps, secretary and treasurer OF the
association, submitted the financial re-
port, which showed that the associa-
tion had receipts last year OF approx
mately $4,000 and had a balance in
hand of about $500. 1t was voted
to assess members an additional one
mill per gallon of milk sold through
the association for extra expenses
should that be deemed necessary by
the directors.
The three directors whose terms ex-
pired with the meeting: w. A.
Wheeler, OF Hartford county; Howard
Koons, OF Howard. and ]. t. cav
thorn. Of Carroll. were reelected for
three years. The meeting authorized
an Increase in the Board from nine
to 12 members, and two of the addi-
tional members were elected. These
were DR.. VaIlie Hawkins. Of York

rectors of the association will select
the third member from the upper part
Of York county.

best to preserve their health. In spite
Of the discussion about high prices, he
stated that milk was proportionately
much lower than other foodstuffs, con
sidering its food values, and that the

The fact that the shad for which
Maryland has been famous for gen
erations are in danger of becoming ex-
tinct is made plain in the report of j.
P, Snyder. Of the United States Bu-
reau of Fisheries, who is now acting
superintendent of the Maryland fish
hatcheries. published in the official
bulletin Of the State Conservation
Commission. He suggests as a meas
ure Of protection that the taking Of
shad and also of herring in the pound
nets along the bay should be regu-
lated, and that netting these fish on
their spawning beds be prohibited, He
indicates that unless some adequate
measures Of protection are taken the
fish may soon become extinct, and
certainly that unless there be some
limitation in taking shad herring and
rock these fish may never again be
restored in large numbers.
