Those plates arc indeed the vital

Plates shed their active material
and the ratio OF shedding determines
the plate life. Weak plates shed
material rapidly-often In chunks,
leaving parts of the grid bare while
plates shed evenly and the more
slowly they shed the better they

New Road to be

A road from Hyder, opening up the heart of the surrounding min ing district will be built as soon as can be arranged by the Alaska Road Commission, according to Major w. H. Waugh, president of that organization. who re- turned to Ketchikan last night from Hyder where he has been looking oyer the ground.
 There is already a road through the district l6 miles long, built by the Pioneer Gold Mining company" said Major Waugh in discussing the situa- tion. It was built at a cost of s85, 900. Our road will continue along the same course. We will gravel over the present road and make it wide, solid and perman. ent.''
 The new road will go for II miles along the present one, stop ping approximately a mile from the Canadian border,
 Major Waugh is stopping at the Stedman and will continue on to Juneau by the next boat, the Alameda, which leaves Sat urday. Meanwhile he will con. tinue to oversee the road building which is being done locally by the commission.
 The survey of the new road toward the power house and new city park was finished before the major left for Hyder, he says, and continues for a large portion of the distance along the present road, approaching nearer to the creek in several places and cross- ing the stream in an entirely diff ferent place.
 The work of clearing will prob ably be the extent of the opera tions on the Hyder road this fall. Major Waugh stated.-Chronicle,

MIGHT BE BRITAiN's KING.

How many persons know that, if the British crown had descended by strict hereditary right instead of by authority of parliament, Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria, who has commanded a German army in the field throughout the greater part of the war, would be king instead of George V? Through his mother, who was princess of Austria-Mo- dena, he is the ranking descendant of the Stuart kings, but his ances- tors were ruled out of court by par iament some two centuries ago, be- cause they, like James II, whom parliament deposed, were Roman Catholics. There exists today curious society called the Order of the White Rose, the members of which recognize the Bavarian prince as the true king of England, the real vessel of the divine right to rule e!-Youth's Companion.

Officers Find S50o0
 Worth Beaver Pelts

FAIRBANKS latest re- ports received from the Tolovana telegraph station indicate that probably more than $5, ,000 worth of beaver pelts have been discov- cred by Deputy U. s. Marshal Hagen and Special Fur Warden Foster, who are now engaged in the examination of 42 sacks of furs in the postoffice at that place, alleged to be the property of the Vachons. So far, less than half of the parcels have been entered. The search will be carried out completely.
 In an interview given a repre- sentative of the Citizen last night. United States Marshal L. T. Err win said: T had not intended to give the search for contraband furs to either local newspaper. But my attention being called to the articles appearing in the New Miner this evening, 1 feel that it is my duty to make plain statement of all the facts connec- ted herewith.
 Information was recently re- ceived at this office, and by Mr. Foster, at Nenana, leading to the conviction that contraband furs were being shipped from the country. Warden Foster swore out search warrant and 1 took the matter up by telegraph with the attorney general with the re- suit that the postmaster general instructed the postmaster at To- lovana to permit the search.
 Thirty sacks of furs are known to have been shipped before the arrival of these instructions. Forty-two sacks which remained were seized and are now being examined. The first sack opened contained 16 beaver belts. The first 10 sacks were found to hold 165 beaver belts and the latest report received by this office from Deputy Hagen says that from P sacks which he has entered there have been secured a total of 343 of these skins.
 The average of the parcels ex- amined shows to have been slightly more than 17 belts to the sack. Less than half of the sacks seized have been examined. Out of the total AZ sacks, P are yet to be opened. Citizen.

WORK FOR MEXICO REFUGEES
Federal Official Suggests Many occu- pations In Which They Would se
 of Exceptional Usefulness.

"Living in the various cities of the Mexican border are many thou- sands of Me1icans," says pr. Joseph T. Ware, federal employment direc- tor for Tennessee, "of the middle and higher classes, who are refugees from their own country on account of political conditions. These Mex jeans are educated, many of them highly so. Most of them are un- employed, partly because their knowledge of English is limited and partly because they do not know how to get in touch with the busi- ness men who might be glad to uti- ize their services. Among them are to be found accountants, book keepers, clerks, timekeepers and for mer government employees.
 "In addition to these occupations, these people could be used in the lighter manual occupations and as foremen where gangs of Mexican la borsrs are employed. With our business men taking more and more interest in foreign trade, particu- larly with the Spanish-speaking countries, comes an increasing de- mand for clerks who can speak and write the Spanish language, and among these people are many who could qualify for such positions.
