ECONOMY TO BE. WATCHW0RD FOR.
 NEW PRESIDENT

RIO DE JANEIRO. Brazil,-P)-- President Epitacio Pessoa gave warn, ing in his first message to the Brazil. ian congress today that the govern ment must practice economy if 1t is to avoid financial difficulties. "We are at this moment in position which warns us uf our danger" lie said.
 Four-fifths of the nations revenues, according to the president, now are absorbed in paying the salaries and expenses of what he characterized as the "inordinate and ever-increasing Governmental personnel" This leaves but twenty per cent of revenue for the purchase of materials including equipment of the army and navy.
 The president pointed out that twice since the beginning of the republic the country has been forced to sus- pend payment on the public debt and had been compelled to issue bonds secured by customs revenues to meet excessive disbursements. These bonds were held by foreigners and have not
 on redeemed and the president stated that instead of economizing 10 pay off these obligations, Brazil had allowed them to remain unpaid.
 Criticism was made of the incur ring in the last five years of deficit of $25O,O00,O00 and of the issue of loans to meet it. This was des- cribed as a step which aggravated the financial situation. disturbed oco- homie conditions and forced into cir culation an unexpected amount of paper money, continually depreciat- ing in value"
 Altho the war reduced the customs revenues to minimum, Brazirs ex- penses had grown with the increasing personnel of the various ministries and this had produced super-aDund- ance of employees, inactive individuals and had increased the pension fund until it amounted to more than $12.- 100000.
 "It is impossible for any nation to continue along such a path and not eventually fall into difficulties" said the president. The country now found itself confronted with demands for increases in salaries 70 provide lcr the necessities of life in abnormal times resulting from the war. To grant these would be wrong policy, he executive asserted.
 The government had made use of all possible means of credit IF the last i've years, including the emission of more than $3OO,OO0,OOO in paper money. The president asked whether t would be possible to continue this a,liative narcotic policy which in
 opinion, would soon Head us to the stern reality of submitting our selves to the exigencies of our creditors" He asked congress to avoid increasing more obligations ex- cept in cases of extreme necessity.

M. Hem derson s.... to have been esp .cially we'll plt<.Cd with the building erected for ths Alaska agricultural college and schoo: of mines and surprised al the az .icu:iural development in this district
 The interview given to the Juneau paper follows in part:
 Business conditions in the Interior and to the westward, while still suf- fering to some extent from the de- pressing effects of the war;" said MT. Henderson. "are to by no means dis couraging. Many communities, while temporarily somewhat depleted in population. still havas solid backing and that they will display evidence that they will again forge to the front when industry turnout the nation again becomes stabilized. The Tan ana valley has 8 school enrolment of approximately 300 pupils. The en- rollment of Fairbanks school unmber ed 175 at the close of the first week of school. a greater number than were enrolled on the same date last year.
 FARMING DEVELOPMENT.
 T was particularly impressed by the agricultural development which has taken place in the vicinity of Fairbanks. More than 2,O00 bushels of wheat were raised by the farmers of that locality in addition to otaer grains, hay. and a large variety of vegetables. during the past season. Agricultural development in the Mata- nuska valley is also such as to estab- fish the fact that Alaska has plenty of resources other than those wrapped up in her mines and waters. Farm ing is however. suffering with other industries because of the high cost of transportation. A Matanuska farm er informs me that silo which he purchased for 320o {. o. b.. Seattle cost him $l00 laid down at the depot in Matanuska.
 "The supply of dog food in the interior Is seriously depleted as result of the small run of Ash on the Yukon. The flsh-wheels, while operating faithfully for twenty-four hours in each day as in the past sea- -cns. failed to throw out the usual number of fish. Dried salmon were selling for 15 cents per pound in Ruby early in September. AS re- suit of the scarcity of food and the attendant high prices. it is pre- dicted that many dog teams will have to be killed before the winter is over. Many are inclined to at- tribute the short run to the fact that the Carlisle Packing company caught and packed more than 50,000 cases ci salmon at the mouth of the river.
 While in Fairbanks, had the pleasure of a visit to the site of the Alaska Agricultural college and School of Mines. The college build ing is we'll constructed. carefully planned structure and reflects credit upon the board of trustees of that institution. It is to be hoped that In the near future flourishing school may be in operation.

CURRENT IS CAUSE OF COSTLY RESIDENCE FIRE.

Static electricity. developed by friction in a garment being cleaned in gasoline by Miss Sarah Randolph, daughter of Dr. and Mrs w. NJ Ran dolph, yesterday afternoon about 2:30 o'clock, set fire to the volatile liquid, which in turn communicated with the walls of the room in which she was working Before the fire department could extinguish the fire damage esti- mated to have been in the neighbor- hood of S4000 had been done to the house and contents. Insurance was carried. Miss Randolph escaped with out injury, although the narrowness of her escape was testified to by the fact that her hair was singed by the flames from the blazing pans.
 The residence on Quality hill, which is owned by the Phelps Dodge corpora tion and normally occupied by Dr. Robert Ferguson, contained a consider able quantity of handsome furniture, books and other valuables, many of which were damaged badly by fire, smoke and water. In addition to dam age done by these elements to the house and Dr. Ferguson's possessions. clothing and other valuables of Mir Randolph and his family were lost or damaged so greatly that they were ruined. There was no insurance on this portion of the loss.
 Miss Randolph had three small pans of gasoline in the rear of the resi- dence and had cleaned a number of garments when the fire broke out She had been careful to find a place distant from any light or fire. This was the second time within a year that she had a narrow escape from fire. In Tombstone last year she and her sister escaped in their night clothes from their burning home. just in time to save their lives.
 The smoke and flames from the fire yesterday afternoon attracted a large crowd which watched the firemen at work. Much commendation was heard

REESE DISAGREES
 ON QUARANTINE ON DANCING IN CITY

The action of the city council in placing a ban upon dancing in the in corporated city of Bisbee, was one of the chief topics of conversation yes terday, the stand being taken by a majority of people on the street that the order was not justified under the conditions.
 Cochise county has not placed spe- cial quarantine against dancing, nor will it do so unless there is marked increase in the number of cases of in- fluenza, according to Dr. Harry A. Reese. superintendent county health.
 T know nothing about any quaran- tine other than that in the city itself, v he said. T have nothing to do with anything except the outlying districts, my jurisdiction not extending to the incorporated cities.
 q see nothing in the present situa- tion to warrant quarantining the out lying portions of the Warren district. Were to quarantine Lowell and War ren against dancing, I would have to make the same ruling for all parts of the county. I can see no reason for QOluS lulS anu lilllh IL hOulu Noih q hardship upon the people and be un- just.
 "As far as my personal view goes, I can see no more reason why dances should be quarantined than for the quarantining of moving picture shows, the pool halls and other places of pub lie assemblage. The man who has in- fuenza doesn't feel like dancing; that's the pastime of the healthy man or woman. Influenza strikes the pa tient and prostrates them in hurry. They do not feel like doing anything except lolling around, if they are not in bed They would be far more liable in my views. to go to a picture show or into a. pool hall than to a dance. venture to say that if you mentioned dancing to anyone in the throes of in- fluenza and offer him S10 to attend a dance, you would find him refusing your money"

.BROPHY BRINGS HELMET OF HUN OFFICER HERE

A souvenir Of the Amerioan occupa- ton of Metz highly prized by it's pos sessor. M. J. Cunningham, vice-presi- dent of the Bank of Douglas. is the helmet of a German officer of in fantry. It was brought to this coun- try by W. IT. Brophy of this city, who served as a major in the Red Cross in France. MT. Cunningham went to Osborn to meet Major Brophy when he passed through on his way to Los Angeles recently and there was pre- scented with the trophy which now is in his office at the bank
 The helmet is made of light aTmor steel, on top of which is a spike of polished copper through the base of which are pierced four ventilation holes. Around the edge of the helmet, familiarized to the American public by means of photographic reproduc- tions of Hun officers, runs a narrow band of polished copper. Across the front of it spreads the German eagle, in copper, and on a scroll under his claws is the inscription, Nit Gott fur Koenix und Vaterland" with God for kind and fatherland). The chin strap is on leather, plated outside with scales of copper. The contrast be- tween the bright copper and the dull gray of the polished steel is beauti- full Major Brophy also brought the cloth covering of field gray, worn by the officers of the German army when in the front lines, or where there was danger of their gaudy headgear at tracing attention. It is waterproofed to protect the steel from moisture.
 Major Brophy told me he had seen a number of American prisoners who had just returned from Germany and that they all were in good physical condition" said MT. Cunningham. He ascribed this largely to the packages sent them from time to time by the Red Cross organization.
 Major Brophy probably will return to Bisbee within a month, MT. Gun ninsham said.
