YORK
When young Belmont and Iselin lefl
Fairbanks a week ago for their home
In New York, they took out with them
four sourdough dogs which will make
their homes from now on back east
They will no longer howl to an Arc
tic moon or mush over the long trails
of the far North, but will live in style
with men to look after their "eats"
regularly and take care of their 'ken
nels.
These dogs, which went out by
stage with their new masters, two
with Morgan Belmont and two with
Charles O. Iselin, Jr., are for the most
part well known here, and were with
the boys on their big hunt. Mike, a
leader, was owned for years by Bert
Hansen, and when he was a deputy
marshnl mushed all over the Interior.
He Is a huskie, getting along in years,
and a fine old fellow. The boys in
tend to give him a good home for
the balance of his days, having be
come very much attached to him.
Kid, another huskie, was formerly
owned »by Billy Gorham, the jeweler,
and every dog musher in these parts
knows him. Then there was Brown
ie, of Chena, about two-thirds pure
bred huskie. His antecedents are
unknown. ^ The fourth dog the boys
called Dawson, for they picked him
up there last August enroute to Fair
banks. He was a mere pup, but
proved to be a good musher, and went
with the sleds all through the McKin
ley district. He is also mostly hus
kie.
Iselln is quite a dog fancier. At
the Iselin country home he has an
even hundred beagle hounds, import
ed from the Old Country, together
with two kennel keepers, whose sole
business it is to look after the dogs.
Before leaving here he talked some
of taking back huskie dogs for breed
ing purposes with the idea of later
sending back to Alaska a superior
strain of huskies. However, unless
he found another dog on the coast to
suit him, he gave up the plan.—Fair
banks News-Miner.

HAD PREMONITION
Of HUSBAND'S DEATH
(By Associated Press Correspondence!
PARIS, Feb. 12—This story is going
the round of the French papers:
One of the most distinguished vio
linists of France, who was married
only one month before the boginning
of the war, said to his bride on leaving
for the front that if any misfortune
happened to him, he would arrange to
let her know it in advance of the offi
cial notification.
Weeks and months went by, without
any bad news, and the bride almost
had forgotten the singular statement
made by her husband in the emotion
of separation, when on Sunday morn
ing, January 24, she felt an irresistable
desire to play a certain melody that
her husband Reml was particularly
fond of. She opened the case, took out
the violin and color left her cheeks.
Two of the strings were broken, the
“ri” and the “ml.” “I understand” she
stammered a\d staggered to a chair.
The following day toward noon an
official from the war department came
to inform her that the Sergeant Reml
- had died upon the field of honor.

Monroe Doctrine.
“The power of Great Britain In the
world," he says, “depends upon her
being mistress of the Atlantic commu
nications of western Europe. Brit
ain’s Monroe Doctrine, therefore,
means that the acquisition of terri
tory by other nations on the coasts or
islands of western Europe would be
casus belli. Norway, which has
long since ceased to be a great pow
er, has fine harbors within three
hunderd miles of Scotland, and a
power acquiring these would be able
to turn our position on the north.
“The harbors of Portugal and her
islands, Maderla, Cape Verde and the
Azores, are important positions on
our routes to Egypt, South Africa and
the Caribbean. Too little attention
has been paid to the advantages which
we would derive in the war from Por

There was silence a moment, then a

"Ei! do ist’s so wutiderschon. Da

“Morgen, Kamarade!” then other

MUST FILE
STATISTICS
United States Attorney Roth, of
the Fourth division, has rendered an
polnlon In regard to the vital statis
, tics law passed two years ago by the
Territorial Legislature. It covers the
fees to be charged and as to whether
or not recorders are compelled to
their work.'
The territorial law provides that
every recorder shall record births,
marriages and deaths. For births
and deaths the recorder is allowed
to charge the government a fee of
one dollar, and for the tiling of mar
riage certlflceteg, the person perform
Ing the ceremony Is required to col
lect one dollar for filing fee, which
Is to be turned over to the recorder.
One of the regulations governing
recorders, handed down by the At
torney-Oeneral, is that no record shall
ha ft U/l .. .
I - -v»i fi.uw in uji
lected, and this seemed to conflict
with the territorial act, and was one
of the things upon whic was wished
an opinion.
In his opinion, Mr. Roth advised
that the territorial legislature, by the
organic act. had no authority to au
thorize recorders to charge fees a
gainst the United States, and there
fore the recorder could not collect
fees for the filing of birth and death
ceritficates, nor will the official be
held by the government to account
for such fees.
For the filing of marriage certifi
cates the recorder is authorized to col
lect a fee of one dollar, and in the
opinion of Mr. Roth, the government
cannot hold the official to account
for more than that sum.
Before the matter is settled defi
nitely, It is probnble that the attor
ney-general will be asked to rule upon
the question.
GALWAY A BASE
OF PATROL BOATS
(By Associated Dress Correspondence)
DUBLIN, Feb. 12—The admiralty
has decided to make Galway a base of
costal patrol boats and mine sweep
ers, sixteen of which are expected to
arrive at that port In a few days.
Warnings have been Issued by the
authorities to the inhabitants of the
west coast instructing them what to
do In case of a raid and this has
caused some comment, as hitherto it
was believed that the west coast of
Ireland was free from this risk
A story has been received in Gal
way from a resident on the Sligo
coast to the effect that a few days
ago through powerful glasses he saw
two cruisers oursni IliT !l Bllhmnrlno I
which he could see diving. The pres
ence of German submarines at that
place seems impossible and no further
confirmation of the story has been re
ceived.
