Alaska is a land of groat industrial,

flelent to carry them through several
sensons. Such men nre the ones who
cnn hope to mnke a stake.
Alaska wants business men to es
tablish various lines of business It
those sections to be built up by the
railroad. It wnnts men with capital
capable of erentlng great industrial en
terprises on the sea coast, establish
ments that are capable of handling in
an economic way the great natural
resources of the interior.

rugged northerners; people who are

of that frontier eountry with the idea
of developing its agricultural resour

Alaska wants big, healthy, broad
minded men and women. They are
the only ones who can build up the
country. It distinctly does not want

MINE INSPECTOR
GETS RAISE SALARY
William Maloney, territorial mine
Inspector, has received a raise in his
salary form $2,500 to $3,000 a year.
In addition to his salary Inspector
Maloney receives $2,500 yearly for ex
penses, which is none too large for a
territory as large as he has to look
out for. His ofHee has been removed
from under the jurisdiction of the
federal mine inspector, Sumner S.
Smith. Hereafter Inspector Maloney
will report to governor Strong and
work independently, although in con
junction with Inspector Smith, who
reports to the U. S. Bureau of Mines.

OUNCE DUELS CLOSED
MERRY URL GOES ON
BERLIN, May 15—The police or
ders closing all the dance halls in
Berlin was not able to dampen the
ardor of the dancers, for whom a way
to evade the order was promptly found.
This was the establishing of “danc
ing hours” by hundreds of dancing
masters, most of whom were as lit
tle dancing masters as their clients
were pupils. To put an end to this
the police have ordered that notice
of such “lessons” be given to the
proper police station in advance, and
that the names of the “pupils” and
the hour when they are expected be
included in the notice. The "les
sons" may not last more than two
hours, and not more than fifty per
sons may be present.
RUM RATIONS
TWICE A WEEK
GENERAL HEADQUARTERS, Brit
ish Army, France, May 15—Contrary
to general belief, the British soldier
in the field is not receiving his ra
tion or any other form of alcohol ev
ery day. Coincident with, but not
necessarily associated with the tem
perance agitation in England, the
rum rations are now served only twice
a week. Wanner weather and the
•
desire to cut down the use of stimu
lants is the explanation. So far as
known there has been no protest from
the troops. The two drinks a week
amount to about half a gill each.

Good Advertising Stunt
Fairbanks is using 50,000 envelopes
to advertise that city and its coming
big fair. In one corner Is a white
flag, and in blue letters are the words.
“Alaska Semi-Centennial Exposition,
Fairbanks, Alaska, 1917.” Five gol
den hearts punctuate the story of
Fairbanks' enterprise, and the efTect
is pleasing and noteworthy.

MEETS WITH ACCIDENT
AND DIES ON TRAIL
Tom Jurack, a prospector well
known In Interior camps, was found
frozen to death on the trail twelve
or fifteen miles from Betties about
ten days ago.
Mr. Jurack had been working for
A. J. Campbell, driving a wood team
at Tanana. He started out light to
go to the Koyukuk. At the first
camping place outside of Tanana he
cut his foot with an axe. and musbers
who met him advised him to turn :
back; but he said the cut was not |
serious and he could make it all right.
The weather was very soft, and It Is
believed the sloppy trail caused blood
poisoning to develop In his foot, so
that he ^is unable to help himself
when the weather turned cold.

dean homes, carpeted floors and var

PITTSBURGH AUTO DRIVER
RAGING UNDER SHELL EIRE
GENERAL HEADQUARTERS, Brit j
sh Army, Prance, May 15—Barney
tldfield's old mechanic, Harry Breen,,
who has swept around the track with j
film on the Indianapolis speedway and j
dsewhere in the United States, is now |
lriving a car for a British officer at
Lhe front. He says the excitement
af being under shell fire has the auto
mobile racing game beaten.
Breen hails from Pittsburgh, Pe.,
where he was born forty-one years
ago of a Danish mother anil British
father. The British father was the
lever that got Breen Into the British
army. Leaving a prosperous gar
age business in Pittsburgh, he has
tened to England and enlisted. His
qualities of expert mechanic and skill
ful, ferless driver insured instant ser
vice at headquarters, where such men
are at a premium. The superb coun
try roads in France, which are kept
in a remarkable state of fitness not
withstanding the war, gave Breen an
opportunity for imagining he is still
with Oldfield on the track trying to
break a record.
