ANCHORAGE. Aug. 6 Eire flow
' ers, resplendent in royal purple, em
blazon all cleared land in the Anchor-1
age district. Their flaming hues
adorn alike unoccupied city lots and
uncultivated rural areas. With every j
breath of air and In every gentle
breeze this wild and brilliant vegeta-)
| tion bends and undulates like a crim-j
son sea.
The flower plant is defined in bot-,
any as an asteraceous weed of the
; erechtites hieracifolia family. It at
tains Its greatest luxuriance in burned
over soil. This characteristic, to
gether with its uniform scarlet color,
lend it an interest almost rivaling the
* attention that has been paid by bot
anlsts to battle-soil flowers.
Is the lurid shade of the fire flower
only a subdued tone of a direct con
sequent of the harsh red glare of the
devastating forest conflagration? Are
i the scarlet blooms that abound on bat
, tleflelds a fulfillment by nature of
Isaiah’s prophecy that the earth would
disclose her blood when called on to
cover her slain?
In the past botanists have not fa
vored the fire flower with the insist
ent observation they have given the
I battle-soil bloom Hut now, in an ef
fort to discover the law that causes
and controls the existence of the tire
flower, they are recording instances
and circumstances of its occurrence,
and. in this respect, the Anchorage
district offers a rich field for research
Botanical records show, in connec
tion with battle-soil vegetation, that
| in the year succeeding the battle of
Landon. in the Netherlands, where
’ more than 20,000 slain were left tin
| buried, the field of the tight was a riot
I | of red flowers, chiefly poppies. More
. than a century later, following the
sanguinary struggle at Waterloo, there
was a floral phenomenon of like ihar
acter. Now in the present W'ar. in
sectors that last year and the year
previous were scenes of awful car
nage. scarlet blooms hide the rents
and gashes made by modern artillery1
, and explosives

J!WHfl STOLE THE GDUSE?
IS VEXATIOUS QUESTION
HEADQCARTERS OF THE AMER
ICAN FORCES with the British
j Forces in France, Aug. Bitter
words have passed between two bat
; talions of American soldiers here over
a Stolen goose. The bird was missed
i from a little farm in the area occu
pied by one battalion, but the feath
ers were found within the district oc
cupied by the other
Believing its territory had been in
| vaded. the first battalion informed the
I second that when it felt the growing
| need for goose it would be well to
j confine its foraging to its own terri
tory and avoid casting unpleasant im
j plications upon its neighbors. The
j second disowned the feathers, but
j Paid for the goose as a matter of
i pride To protect the property of
; the natives in the area occupied by
j the American regiments the colonel
j has prescribed a new penalty. “Any
I man in my command who lays a hand
ion a fowl that has not been bought
and paid for will have to eat the
feathers," he declares

HIGH PRICES FOR FEED
FOR DOGS OF INTERIOR
I
The natives and residents of the In
terior are complaining bitterly be
| cause the canneries and fishermen on
i the lower Copper river are shutting
out the fish from ascending the river,
and there will be none to put up for
feed this winter. Dog feed Is being
freighted In from Valdez and sold at
25 cents per pound to Interior rest
dents This Is an almost prohibitive
price, and It Is feared that the anl
i nials will have to be killed before the
winter is over if the run of fish docs
not materialize Much suffering was
entailed last year on account of the
fish being prevented from ascending
the river, many natives being caught
without sufficient food for themselves
or dogs.—Valdez Miner.
