Carnival There was an unusually

Ice people out skating on
Eyak Lake last night
and as the couples were seen gliding
over the smooth surface their faces
were pictures of happiness and en
joyment. This is the most healthful
and invigorating kind of exercise ar.d
there is some talk of arranging to hold
a big carnival on the Ice during the
holiday season.

Some at last, and the story of
him was brought back
here by a little bird who met him and
his bride on their honeymoon. They
had been married five days and that
afternoon in the goodness of litis heart,
he bought her half a pound of candy.
She opened the box and was about
to partake of the sweets when he
frantically stopped her and asked
“aren't you going to save that for the
children, dear?”

Germany Copper is the mainstay
Needs Our of the great German
Copper eletrical industry. Starv
ed of the normal supply
from the United States, the industry
is hard hit. Eloquent testimony of how
the war in general is playing havoc
with the electrical trade Is supplied
by the announcement of the great Al
lgemeine Electrlcitats Gesellsc.haft
(General Electric Company), of Ber
lin, which has an annual turnover of
£200,000,000, that it will pay only 10
per cent, dividend in 1914 as against
14 per cent, in 1913. The company
fixes its 1914 net earnings at £945,000.
In 1913 they were £1,450,000—a de
crease during the first year of war of
more than £500,000.

Wickersham Anybody who says that
is Ladies’ Delegate Wickersham is
Man not a ladies’ man dosen’t
know what he is talking
about. In the first place, it will be
remembered that it was due to the
ladies thaf the entertainment a week
ago Saturday was promoted, when
Judge Wickersham was the chief
guest of honor. In the second place,
the delegate entertained last Monday
night a number of tiie ladies who
took part on the reception in his
honor.
So there you have it. The popu
larity of the congre sional delegate
has beoen proved beyond any further
question, and who can say that it was
not due to the votes of the ladies
that Mr. Wickersham was re-elected
by such a big majority.—Fairbanks
Citizen.
And if any further proof is needed to
establish the above fact we might add
that while in Cordova Judge Wicker
sham was a guest the Cupid Club at
one of its enjoyable dances.

Glad He It happens sometimes
Is Not that a man's political
Governor defeat is the best thing
that can befall him.
Politics is much like gambling, and
success sometimes promotes greater
stakes and more se-ere losses later.
From a friend of Thomas Riggs, Jr.,
now a member of the Alaska Engineer
ing commlsoion, it is learned tha; Mr.
Riggs looks back upon the defeat
of his effort to become governor of
Alaska as the best thing that i/ould
have happened to him unde- the
circumstances.
It will be remembered that Mr.
Riggs was recommended for governor
at the same time that Major Strong,
the successful candidate was recom
mended for the place. For a time
it seemed that the chances between
the two candidates were about equal,
but the Major won by a narrow niar
Bin.
When in Cordova recently Mr.
Riggs told a friend here that he
was pleased that he lost the governor
ship. He explained that the appoint
ment to the Engineering commission
meant much more to hint in regard
to futur possibilities^ than would
the governorship.
Abuse Was that telegraphic story
All For Chairman Edes to deny
Naught It was rather tinkling !n
about his favoring the
plan of the government purchasing the
Copper River ft Northwestern railroad
after the Valdez paper had given the
news such publicity—at the same time
getting in its little knock agalinst Cor
dova and the Guggenheim*. After
charging the Alaska Syndicate with
"trying for several years to unload
the road on the government," because
It "has never paid and the outlook
for a dividend is poor yet” the Pros
pector finds consolation In this clos
ing paragraph: "It is almost certain
thn the fight in congress against tne
purchase of the Morgan-Guggenheim
road will bo enough to prevent the
passage of the appropriation at the
next session ns the Democratic majori
ty lis small and the Republicans have
announced it their intention to block
appropriations for public improve
ments while n direct tax Is put on the
people.” And the next day there was
Joy in the Glacier City when Chair
man Kdes wired that he had never
given out any information whatever
in reference to routes or the purchase
of exisiting roads.
