j Writing to a friend In Valdez, unde
date of March 1, Rev. Father Van de
Pol says that he has regained hli
strength and done away with the com
plication of ailments which for i
There remains but a little weakness
while had undermined his health
In the leg from its varicose conditioi
which does not give*hlm much trou
ble. The veins do not show enougl
0|| to be operated on and If told by hli
w superior he could start back for Alas
\ ka tomorrow. In spite of a longln>
desire to do so he has to wait for th(
return of his Superior Provincial whc
went to Rome with two delegates 01
the California province to take part ir
the election of the general of the
Jesuit Order. The election took place
in Rome on Feburary 11 with the re
suit that Father Vladimir Redochow
Hkl is now the head of the Society ol
Jesus.
It may be well to remark that the
conclave which elects the Jesuit Su
perior General is composed of the five
* assistants of the late General, nil the
provincials of the order and two dele
gates from each province, bringing the
number of the electing body to about
ninety. This body is called the "gen
ral congregation" or chapter of the
order, and in it resides the supreme
nnd exclusive legislative power of the
society. As these general chapters
are not very frequent there Is usually
a great deal of business of vital im
portance to be attended to by them.
This accounts for the delay of the par
ticipants in returning to their provin
ces, and In the present instance ex
plains the waiting of Father Van der
' Pol.

(By Associated l’ress Correspondence)
LONDON, Feb. 23—The crew of the
oiltanker Carpathian have just won a
victory at law against the owners ol
the vessel who tried to escape the
*
payment of a bonus promised by the
captain for running the gaunlet of
German cruisers in the Atlantic.
The Carpathian was caught in a
* Texan port at the outbreak of the
war. Her crew of seven men refused
to sail unless paid risk money. The
captain agreed to give them a bonus
of $60 each in addition to their wages.
Humors of German cruisers destroy
ing commerce were then numerous.
But the men accepted the risk and the
vessel sailed for Rotterdam with a
cargo of oil.
Although the ship was loaded with
dangerous cargo, which would could
be set afire by a shell, the crew
agreed, in view of the bonus, to stick
to the captain through thick and
thin, as they testified in court. The
journey was safely made, and at its
end the skipper offered the men $5
each instead of $60. Thereupon the
crew brought suit.
In court, the owners, the Petroleum
Steamship Company, did not deny the
allegations of the men and fell bnck
on the technical defense that undei
the merchant shipping act seaman is
not entitled to wages further than
those stipulated in the articles he
has signed.

SIXTY CENT PAY DIRT
ON TOLOVANA RIVER
Pay that will run 60 cents io the
foot was found on Wilbur creek, n
tributary of the Tolovana river, is
the report brought to Chatantka by
! Commissioner S. R. Weiss, who has
J been at the scene of the strike for
the past few days. Wilbur creek is
a tributary of (he Tolovana river, on
the left limit, about 10 miles above
the confluence of I.ivengood creek and
the Tolovana.
The discovery was made by Jack
Wilbur, who sank two holes near the
mouth of the creek, about 200 feet
from the Tolovana river. The holes
sunk were 3o feet apart, which indi
cates that the pay Is that wide at
least and the mining men who have
been In the district think that it is
much wider.

USE OF MINOT IN
THE PRESENT CONFLICT
_
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
LONDON, Feb, 23—The band of
jiujitsu teachers and fencing-masters
whose offer of services In the instruct
ing recruits has been refused by the
War Office are evening scores by
charging that the office does not re
alize the important part the bayonet
is playing in this war on both western
and eastern fronts. They say the
army heads are unable to overcome
the prejudice against the bayonet in
herited from the experiences of the
South African campaign, and fail to
read the new lessons of warfare.
The bayonet was pronounced obso
lete in the Spanish-Amerlcan war. In
the few cases where fighting was done
in the Philippines at close quarters,
the Americans used their guns as
clubs throwing away their bayonets as
i nuisance. This was also the verdict
of the British in the Boer war. In
the Russo-Japanese campaign, how
ever, the bayonet returned to favor,
with the result that the American
j government reconsidered its intention
| to abolish the bayonet, and this arm
: was also retained by the British.
Now comes the reports of the con
stant use of the bayonet in the trench
warfare. Quickeness of thrust and
parry, of foot, eye and decision are
necessary In this kind of fighting.
I But the drill sergeants, the jiujltsuist
and fencing-masters complain, are
content to teach the old fashioned
routine exercises, which would avail
little against skilled antagonists or
even against impromptu tactics vlg
I orously pursued.

KNIK RANCHER

Oust Haller, a homesteader In the
Susltna valley, about 20 miles from
Knlk, returned on the Alameda from a
trip to the states, where he purchased
horBes, cattle and Implements for his
ranch. He has five acres under culti
vation and the soil he says is the finest
he had ever seen and would produce
anything.
Haller has arranged that his wife
should come north about May 1, when
the stock will also be shipped to
Knlk from Seattle. He believes the
railroad construction work will pro
vide a market for all the garden truck
he can grow and will help to tide over

THREE-INCH SHELLS
DEADLY MISSILE
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
PARIS, Feb. 23—"The legend of the
asphyxiating properties of the three
inch projectile,” says an artillery of
ficer, “has been accounted for. We
round often in the trenches bodies
rf soldiers who appeared to have been
•truck by a thunder bolt—no tract of
wound, no blood to be found on their '
bodies. It was finally decided to
dear up the matter and autopsies were
made of such cases. Each time there
was found somewhere in the body a
•mall fragment of our three-inch
•hell, having made an Imperceptible
wound but having penetrated to a
vital spot, causing mortal internal
bemmorrhages. This is due to the
marvelous shell, which breaks on the
average Into 2,000 pieces, about half
the length of a lead pencil and the
thickness of a visiting card."

HOISTING OP NEUTRAL
COLORS IS ALLOWABLE
(By Associated Press Correspondence) '
LONDON, Feb. 23—Following fin
editorial on the humilating aspect of
the Lustiania flag incident from the
viewpoint of British national pride,
the Daily Express, conservative in
politics and intensely British in policy,'
has asked its readers, “What is wrong
with the Union Jack.”
Among the replies, Sir Robert Pur
vis says:
“For a British merchantman to hoist
neutral colors to uvoid capture by a
German armed vessel is allowable if
he thinks fit to do so. But for the
British government solemnly to Inti
mate to the mercantile marine on a
Sunday night—like news of a stricken
battle—to strike the Union Jack,
seems uncalled for, humilating and
indecent. It is a step-down, and also
gives occasion to'the enemy, when we
denounce his wars, to charge us with
hypocrisy of Mr. Pecksniff.”
Another Englishman writes:
“When I read the other day of the
German accusation against ua of au
thorizing the use of a neutral flag to
protect our shipping, I at once called
it another German lie. Imagine my
horror, then, to find such an action
has taken place, and under the au
thority of our Foreign Office."

When things ain't going right with
you, and you can’t make them gee;
when business matters look real blue,

webs gather on your stock, and cus
tomers are rare; when all your assets

and take it if you're wise; give every
article a price, and then go advertise.
And advertise from morn to night,
don't overlook a day, and soon you'll
see the world grow bright, and things
will come your way. Invest in good
publicity, and Fortune you will greet,
and in allttle while you'll be way up
