THE RIGHT KIND OF CONSERVATION

In restocking some of our adjacent lakes With trout the U s. Forest Service and Bureau of Fish cries is undertaking a work which should meet with general favor. While it may be true that there IS no immediate danger of depletion of fishing to such state as is found in the States, is eX- ceilent time to keep building it up so that Alaska can remain fishernans paradise for to come.
 Also if the planting project which is to be under taken proves successful it will tend to open up new fishing grounds and additional recreation areas, thus conserving some of the lakes and streams which now get the bulk of the fishermen
 Setting up too stiff barriers against the sports men their number grows and the fishing supply is threatened only breeds antagonism but restocking planting barren waters while the anglers are still able to enjoy fishing the fullest is sound tion The announced plan of the Forest Service ap- pears to be just that

 Letters written today may be boomerangs. Applications for em- ployment should be postponed. Pol itical rewards will be difficult to ob- tain, if at all possible.
 Reforms in government adminis- tration are to be sweeping, astrol- ogers prophecy, and they foretell that civic service in time will be so extended that only career aspirants will be appointed.

SUNDAY, MARCH 21, 1887

SUNDAY, MARCH 21, 1887 According to astrology benefic as- poets dominate today. Adverse plantary influences are active in the morning hours.
 Women should be especially for tunate under this sway which in- Iclines families towards domestic harmony and accords to mothers reverence as well as obedience.

FAIRBANKS DECORATED FOR RECENT DOG DERBY
 AND ICE CARNIVAL

Fairbanks was made bright with lights and decorations during the Ice Carnival and Dog Derby. Vol unteers carried on the job of pre- pairing the city for the biggest event of the year. The entire business dis trict was lighted up especially for the gala occasion. A stringer of lamps and other decorations were extended from the railroad station to the Cinema bridge, forming well coming lane for the carnival visi- tors who arrived by train. Figures of dogs and other symbols of the

 Business houses decorated both exteriors and interiors for the oc- casion, every effort was made to make favorable impression on the visitors, to make them feel well come at the annual fete. The Moose Hall was entirely redecorated for the dances that were held there during the carnival.

REAL DRAMA UNDERNEATH
 FRONT '|:I I PAGE
Little Paragraphs in Adver- Using Columns Tell of Tragedies, Comedies
 F 4
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, MaIc 20.-Despite it's craving for lurid headlines and new stories of an intimate, gos- sipy variety, New York frequently misses the real drama that lies un- derneath the front page news. Of- ten the sorriest tragedies and the most romantic comedies are hidden in obscure little paragraphs among the public notices and in the lost and found departments.
 These are the notes of the agony columns, the Please come home and All forgiven" items, and while they may seem silly and even, lu- dicrous to you, they are anything but that to the ones whose lives they concern.
 Take, for instance, this note in one of the big metropolitan dailies Joseph, won't you write soon? Martin keeps asking for you It is signed simply Mother and Dad" Here are the elements of heartache that O.. Henry could twist into fascinating fiction . Who is Joseph? More important still, who is Martin He might be a brother, a friend, even a small son. The wording of the note sug- gests that he is ill.

 Secretary of Agriculture David F. Houston, had issued a statement virtually recommending the estab- lishment of government newsprint plant in Alaska. It was estimated that a plant with a capacity of one hundred tons of newsprint day could be built in Alaska for the sum of $2,500,000.
 Emery Valentine, who for several days had been confined to his rooms as the result of slipping on an icy sidewalk, was about and able to do business again.
 John Rieck, father of Mrs. John Rieck, died suddenly from a heart attack. He had lived in Juneau for fourteen years.
