DESPOSITORY FOR TERRITORIAL FUNDS.
1 i
LIKELY BE
I
E. n. CoHSns, ex-speaker of jthe
Alaska house of representatives, and
C. K. Snow, editor-miner of Ruby,
newly elected member, were In Cor
dova yesterday, and were very em
phatic in their declarations that the
present territorial mining law should
be repealed.
Mr. Collins has his own legislative
program, like most members of the
I legislature, but he is also looking at
• the brond interests of the territory.
, He wants to see the present mining
J law atraightentd out. believing with
[ a majority of the people that it is
E a mess under which no one can work.
► Also he wishes to pass an election
► law, which, ns a matter of fact, is vl
f I tally essential to all parts of Alas
' 1
J \ ka, and has some other Ideas on
[ legislation that he will make known
at Juneau next month.
"I believe” said Mr. Snow, “that the
Roden bill should be entirely repealed
and that the legislature should begin
with a clean slate to build up a good
and sensible mining law which the
territory so badly needs.”
In other respects Mr. Snow did jiot
wish to commit himself until mat
ters develop, but when it comes to i
drawing up new mining laws his help [
ought to be very useful as he is one
of the real old-timers, one of the men
who have followed all stampedes in-!
to all sorts of places and who have j
lived the real Alaskan life for many
years. In addition to that he is a
man of keen Intelligence and good
training which enables him to see
the faults of the regulations which
have hitherto controlled Alaskan af
fairs.
He has been a resident of Ruby and
one of its chief citizens since the very
beginning of that camp. Previous
to that time he was in Nome, Koyu
kuk, and various places in interior
Alaska. He ran for the legislature on
tlie Independent ticket, but is a dem
ocrat in politics, although he is one
of the men who believes that party
politics should not be taken very much
into account in territorial elections.
IGOING TO SEATTLE
TO RUING BOAT NORTH
Captain Tinn was in Cordova yes
terdayq, being a passenger from Sew

again on May 15 in command of a
new passenger steamer which is he

which will run direct to Seward from |
the outside, and from there to points '
to the westward winter and summer, ;
In summer the vessel will run as for !
as Betties on the Kuskokwim and in
winter will run as far west as Una
laska. The ship is being built at Fort
Angeles. It is a one thousand ton
twin screw steamer and will have the
Diesel engines, being the first boat
in the American merchant service to
be provided with such an equipment.
, It is an imported engine but a num

have cold storage and accommoda
tions for forty first class and thirty
steerage passengers. Captain Tinn
was commander of the schooner Har
old Blekum which \yas recently
wrecked at Uyak bay.
ELECTRICIAN INVENTS
AN AUTOMATIC VALVE
Feter Dundan, electrician at Fort
Discum, is of an inventive frame of
mind and has invented an automatic
valve which he believes will serve
\ to gain him a substantial return for
| the time he has spent working out
^ the scheme.
The valve would be especially val
uable in haudling any beverage that
must be drawn with gas or air pres
sure, such as beer, tile, cider, wines,
etc., that require a number of feet
of pipe from cooler or cellar to where
the beverage is drawn.

RUSSIAN GIRL IS
WOUNDED IN BUTTLE
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
PETROGRAD, Feb. 8—The war has
an unbelievable fascination for the
Russian school girl, hundreds of whom
have run away In boy's clothing and
tried to enlist as volunteers. Not a
few of them have got Into the lines,
too. as the medical examination is on
ly a negligible formality jin many
places.
Among the wounded in the battle
of Nieman was a broad-shouldered
girl from one of the country districts,
whose disguise was not discovered un
til she reached the field hospital.
In all the larger cities and towns
the authorities are trying to provide
employment of a war-time nature for
women and girls. In Moscow there
is a war hospital attached to each
school house, and the school girls are
assigned to work In connection with
this. Each girl is made responsible
for the clothing for one wounded pa
tient, and the children collect the
money necessary for the support of
the hospital.

KRUPP SIEGE GUNS
IN OLD INVENTION
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
AMSTERDAM, Feb. 8—The notion
that the Krupp 42-centimeter gun is
a great novelty is repudiated by
Messrs. Krupp in a statement issued
a few days ago. It says:
"We exhibited a 42-centimeter gun
at the World’s Fair In Chicago in
1893. This, however was a coast de
fense gun, and was not transportable
In the field like our 42-centimeter
mortar. It was merely this mobility
of our large siege guns which author
ities 'abroad could not believe in.
"In our catalogue at the Chicago
World’s fair, we stated that our 42
centimeter gun was one of the most
powerful of existing weapons, and
was capable of shooting through the
strongest ship armor at any distance
likely to come into question in an
engagement.
“Our first 42centimeter gun wns
built in 1886.”

TREASURES OP ART
ARE NOW MISSING
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
LONDON, Feb. 8—Visitors to the
National Gallery, who remember it as
second only to the Louvre, halt in be
wilderment when they enter it now,
looking in vain for their favorite mas
terpieces. Its walls are still plen
tifully hung with paintings, but the
whole collection is immeasurably in
ferior to that of six months ago. Gone
are the works of Raphaed and da Vin
ci and Holbein; only one or two of
the works of Rembrandt and Rubens
remain. In fact, most of the real
treasures of the magnificent collection
have been taken away for safe keep
ing in the underground vaults where
neither bombs nor conflagration can
reach them. In some cases—notice
ably that of the priceless Raphael Ma
donna -the empty frames remain in
place, awaiting the return of peace.
Another wartime feature of the gal
lery is the sand bin of shiny galvan
ized iron, which occupies a prominent
position in the very center of the room
The sand is for use in case of fire.
A reminder of the suffragette ac
tivity of the days before the war it

LONDON, Feb. 8—The soup kitchen
organized in Brussels by the American
Commission is now undoubtedly the
largest iri ihe world. Nearly fifty
thousand people entirley destitute
wait in the "bread lines" every day,
and six thousand gallons of soup and
four thousand kilograms of bread are
daily distributed to them.
"ITnllke the bread lines I have seen
in America,” says a report from one
of the representatives in Brussels,
“these are all people of one nation
ality and all with a common and un
deserved misfortune. They are of
all classes but we know none of them
save by number, because, no matter
what their station or the extent of
their misfortune, thev still have I'
amour propre and many of them, if
they were compelled to write their
names on coupons when they get
the soup, would rather starve than
take It. None of them think that
they will always have to be in the.
bread line and every one of them feel
that when it Is all over they will
want to forget that they have been
destitute.
"The soup for these pitiful flot
sam and jetsam of war is all prepared
in the large storehouses of the Inter
national Express Company Van Gand.
More than one hundred people are
t
engaged in this work. Among them
are former chefs of some of the lead
ing hotels of Brussels, who give direc
tions as to the kind and quality of
the soup, its ingredients and their
proportions. Under them are those
who clean the vegetables—potatoes,
carrots, beans, etc.—and prepare the
meat. This entire staff is composed
of volunteers, except the chefs, who
receive at most half a crown a day.
“From three o'clock in the morning,
when the cooking of the first 5,000
gallons of soup is started, the scene
in the circus-like storehouse of the
express company is one of tremendous
activity with the moving figures of
the hundred white-clad chefs, the fires
ablaze under scores of immense caul
drons all diml^ seen through the
shifting clouds of pungent steam ris
ing from the boiling soup.
“When the soup is cooked it is sent
under the seals of the commission and
under the protection of the American
flag, in large lorries to the twenty
one canteens, scattered all over Brus
sels. These canteens were formerly
schools, dance halls, Turkish baths,
etc. During the morning, whenever
one goes, women and children may be
seen coming and going with pitchers
of steaming soup and their ration of
bread under their arm.”

BIG MUSICAL EVENT I
AND DUNCE SATOHDAv
Of the many things in which Cor
dova leads, music ranks first. Every
body likes good music. That some
people are as they are is largely be
cause of music—or lack of it. We
all need it—it’s ij social nec 1 Eli;/.
We Socialists look forward to the
day when nobody would, for economic
reasons, be compelled to get along
without the etherealizing dope.
The orchestra will be in its best,
and those who can afford it will pay
50 cents admission, and will certainly
be there, while those who cannot don’t
need to pay anything.
Some people cannot keep still when
they hear good music; some don’t
want to, while others can do nothing J
I else. Those with music in their feet I
will be provided with a slick floor I
on which they can fan the air to their
heart's content, Saturday Night. Don"
Forget.
SOMETHING DOING IN

Tomorrow night at the Empress
Theatre there will be shown two reel:
