FROM SATURDAY’S DAILY
London, Feb. 6—The Admiralty in
particular, and the people of Great
Britain and Ireland in general have
accepted Germany's challenge, and
every available vessel of the navy
will be sent out t > hunt for German
submarines. In his speech some two
weeks age the head of the German
navy made the statement that England
could be starved into submission if
Germany put into effect plans under
consideration, and the declaration of
the war zone by Germany is taken as
the starting of these plans. Today’s
English papers call on the Admirnlt’
to demonstrate that Great Britain
rules the sea, all of them apparently
being of the opinion that Germany’s
notice to the powers of the world is
more in the nature of a bluff than
anything else.

thousand men have been defeated be

the nature of au artillery duel, in

superior to the Turks. Several guns

Amsterdam, Feb. 6—After a terrif

This town was taken by the Russian*

en up on their retreat from Cracow
Now however they are advancing or
Cracow again along their old route
anil are smashing all opposition ii
front of them. Their field artillery
work is far superior to that of thr
armies opposing them. The Tcuto>
army was well entrenched, but a flank
attack , possible on account of the
numerical superiority of the Russians
was too much for them, and they
were pressed slowly back. They \vir
make a stand probably in the height'
east of Craeow.

FACTS ABOUT ALASKA
The report of Gov. J. F. A. Strong,
of Alaska recently sent to the Secre
tary of the interior and now in print
(ed form, summarizing a large amount
if surprising information about the
great territory and will bo eagerly
sought by the many who arc plan
ing to become residents with the
opening of the District to railway
transportation.
The Governor’s report lnvs great
stress upon the agricultural advan
tageous of Alaska, and the statement
is made that there are 50,000.000
teres of land suitable for farming
■lurposes and millions of other acres
that are adapted to cattle raising
'nil dairying. The white popula
tion is now 30,000, an " increase of
>000 during 1014. Tho Southeast
ern and Southwestern portions of
Vlaska hnvo made great gains in
business extension and population
tue to the expected development of
he regions by the construction of
,'overnment railways. The districts
0 be opened, says the Governor are
'mown to contain almost unlimited
nineral, agricultural and other re
ouroes. Thousands of acres of low
jade alluvial gold deposits will be
nade necesiblc by the railroads, and
he production of gold will be large
'y increased. In 1914 the placer
old production far exceeded that of
av former year.
An important industry for tTie ter
'itory is predicted in the care and
\nd extension of the existing herds
if reindeer. There are now sixty
wo herds of 47.300 animals.
“If markets for fresh reindeer
ieat could be opened in the United
tates it would aid ‘n solving the
juestion of meat supply of the
Nations,” says Gov. Strong. “ The
neat is delicious and could be sold at
rices considerably lower tliau those
vhjeh fresh beef and other meats
low command.”
Alaska’s mineral production last
oar was approximately $20,000,000,
f which $15,600,000 was in gold,
‘219,000 in silver anil $3,360,000 in
opper. Fish production contributed
17.000. 000 to the national wealth,
nd the commerce of the Territory
or the year of 1914 was valued at
62.000. 000.
The report disposes of any linger
ig impression that Alaska is an iee
ocked wilderness, ami on the cont
ary makes it plain that It Is a
auntry of splendid resources,
ipable of supporting several millions
f people in abundance.
Perhaps the earliest effect of A1
ska’s coining opening will be felt
1 the development of its agricul
oro an 4 the coming of thousands
r new settlers who will seek its
1 vantages. This, with the spread
f the area of gold production and
'ic opening of the coal fields to
"gnlar production, should serve to
ouble the population of the Ter
'ory within a very short time.—

Word was received from Prince Rup

try, suggesting in lieu of terminal
rates on the Grand Trunk which had
been refused that legislation looking
to tlie protection of the industry be
tecured at Washington, and to this
'■ml, representatives of Ketchikan ac
ompanied by others from Seattle are

elicf. Realizing that such work would
keep tonnage away from them, the

be able to got tho same rate to east
