mining men nnd others interested in
the work of mining an opportunity

• anced way, work in ore or quartz
mining and milling, geology nnd min
eralogy, chemistry, fire assaying,
metalurgy, placer mining, mine and
clnim surveying, coal mining, mining
law, nnd other related subjects.
The course is designed to meet the

saying of ores, valuation of placer
properties, nnd coal mining problems.
In this work all of the laboratories
and apparatus of the various depart
ments of the university are made
available to the student.
Kaiser Fires First Shot
The Kaiser constant movement
from one point to another on the front
is now accounted for by the German
tradition that the chief war lord shall
fire the first shot from each of the
new heavy guns. Whenever a new
17 inch howitzer is mounted the kaiser
proceeds to the spot and hurls the first
shell by touching a button from a posi
tion some distance behind the line.

HOW DEAD SOLDIERS ARI
INOETIFIEO BL DIFFERENT
NATIONS AT WAR
Every notion hns Its own particular
netlio<l of identifying Its dead In war
line. Knell English soldier has a
imsil oblong card (known officially as
Vrmy Korin B. 'Jiki7i which la stitched
nslde the tunic. On It are entered
mrtlctilnr* of the man’s name and
vgiment, next of kin, etc. Besides
Ills, every nrtlcle of the man's clotti
ng Is stiini|ied with a number which
orresponds to one written opposite
ils name In the regimental records, as
veil ns the county depot of Ills bat
allon.
This method Is a little more elabo
rate than that of Germany, whose Bot
hers carry a metal disk bearing a
lumber which eorresixindg with a
lumber at the Berllu war office. After
i battle numbers, not names, are tele
graphed and verified.
The Japanese system Is very similar,
finch man has three disks—one around
ils neck, another on Ills waist belt and
i third In his iKxit -on each of which
ire three nuniliers corresponding to
Jie wearer's name, cor|is nnd brigade

The United States government use*
a simple cloth tab woven into the
shoulder strap of the tunic. Italy use*
it small zinc plate aBlxcd to the trou
sers at the waist, on which are etn
Itossed the soldier's name, place ol
origin, number uud date of enlistment,
while the Portuguese cavalry soldlei
has u number stuni|>ed on bis spurs,
the Infantry having a similar numbet
damped on their leggings.
The I'rench, who formerly used little
aluminium name piateH. which in wai
with savages seemed an Irresistible at
traction t<> the enemy, now use little
ards like ours, but Austria still has ax
ornate identification badge of gui
metal, shaped like a locket, with inside
nil particulars inscribed on little parch
ment leaves
Turkey alone among the nations Is
sues to her soldiers no formal tdentlfl

Cordova, Alaska, Jan. 4, 1916,
Kdltor l>aily Times:
Concerning your recent comment
with regard to the ingratitude of the
"I Won’t Workers” in not accepting
work in return for board and keep—a
a few words.
You are of the opinion that such
action will discourage some charity
workers. It is to be sincerely hoped
that It will discourage all, including
those who work the workers in such
a way as to make charity-workers,
professional workers.
Being somewhat imbued with the
scientific spirit which virtually pre
cludes all blame for what one Is, was,
or about to bo; I have nothing against
charity-workers. They nre, as good
as the best and no better than the I
worst, and a large number at least are j
well meaning. It is not their acts of I
giving alms, but the reaction that fol
lows—the working up to others for
sustenance parasitism — pauperism
that is so pernicious. Paupe-'ism in
creases faster than wealth and popu
lation, and 1 think the majority of
your readers will agree with me when
I say "free” America is no soil for the
roots of such an institution, and
should therefore be destroyed.
Of the course the step taken by
Seattle’s unemployed will produce a
wave of unfriendly criticism, especial
ly in the ranks of snug complacency,
but everybody should know, including
editors, that the demands made are
not unjust. They have in the face of
hunger refused to work for less than
union wages, which everybody will
agre (employers excepted) are ab
solutely necessary to uphold the none
too high standards of living.
Of course It works hardship on res
aurant men but they should not be
surprised that such raids will most
likely becomes general.
They should have recourse to the
courts for damages against the state
for not providing labor the means to
buy back in the form of wages at
least, the average fifth of what it pro
duces.
With five millions idle, the situa
tion is critical. Drastic measures are
equired to cope with it.
, a government, for the sake of
all the people in times of war—in the
interest of war, can take away from
individuals the chance to make a pro
tit; why can not this government in
times of peace, for peace—for the
1 good of all the people, do the same
thing? This England did.
Why not come out editorially.
R. E. HSIGNER.

HOME TOWN TALKS
A town is like a girl; it’s a wonder
what a little fixing up will do for it.
Opportunity knocks once at each
man’s door; better be at home when
he comes.
If you would like to have somebody
| working for you, put a little money
in the bank.
Don’t spend so much time talking
war that you have’t any time left to
talk business.
The world owes every man a living,
but the street corner is a poor collec
tion agenc y.
There is only one better man than
the man who gets behind and pushes
an effort to improve this town, and
that is the man who goes ahead and
pulls.
i
I The kicker should consider the bull
frog, how he croaks; he lias been
croaking now for several thousand
, years, but nobody yet has ever taken
t him seriously.
He a live one and this town will
, never be a dead one.
» Good roads lead not only to town
but to business.
Why should a town muzzle the dogs
a Hud not the knockers?
h Let’s not be trying to stop some
II thing all the time; let’s start some
11 thing.
