MANY ALASKANS ARE
VISITORS AT EXPOSITION
A letter recently received in Fair
banks from a former Fairbanks lady
now in San Francisco, tells of tlie
beauties of the Panama-Pacific exposi
tion. which is now being held there.
She has encountered a number of other
old time Fairbanksans in her travels
about the city, that part of her letter
relating to some of them ns follows:
I see Alaska people everywhere.
Frank Ahlburg has a concession at the
fair. Saw the Sales arid the Noyes at
a show the other night. They have
been around all winter together. Saw
Jack .lesson talking to S. It Waite on
Market street the other day. The lat
ter says that Mrs. Waite is Improving
in heulth all the time. Judge Fuller
has been at the St Francis for some
time, on his way east. “l>ig Hill" Me
Fhee is escorting three fine looking
ladies around the city and looks happy
and prosperous."
The letter was written several days
before the fair opened but stated that
there were several hundred thousand
people In the eitv waiting for the
opening day, all of whom were 'crazy*
over it. All of the notable actors,
art losses and signers are to he seen
and hoard in San Francisco now in the
very latest plays and grand opera.
Concerning fashions the letter states:
"The new colors are ‘sand.’ ‘mon
soon’ and 'military blue.’ Hats all
small and close fitting. Dresses ex
I aptly like civil war times Gathered all
! around at the belt and sometimes ruf
fles nil the way down: or merely finish
ed at the bottom with a ruehe Black
velvet around neck and wrists, or a
tnaline ruche full and doubled "
The lad}’ evidently has an eye for
beauty which would do credit to any
Fairbanks old timer for she further
writes:
"The ‘chickens' certainly look cute
The pseudonym for Powell street from
the St FTancis to Market has been
chanced from 'Peacock Alley’ to 'Peta
luma Avenue,' on account of the flock
of chickens.”

BRITISH EXPERT FINDS BIG
GUNS SURPRISE OF WAR
BONDON.—-The conclusion is reach
ed by the ofllcial observer attached to
British headquarters at the front in a
report given out recently that heavy
guns are of supreme importance in
modern warfare.
"Kxperiences in this war have caused
many profound modifications of theo
ries commonly held before it started,”
he says. But no factor was so under
estimated as the effect of high explo
sive projectiles fired by guns and how -
itzers.
The opening of the war found the al
lies in a position of inferiority to the
enemy in this respect- an inferiority
which, however, lias since been made
good—and the Germans are now ex
periencing to a far greater extent than
before the devastating effects of these
missels.
“The successes of the Japanese at
Port Arthur had given an inkling of the
poleuliaiU ie» of Lite lieav\ howitzers

Tiie gunner, and mole especially the
I garrison gunner, lias come into ins own,
l lor this arm of the service lias assumed
I
importance greater probald} than it
j ever lias before possessed, and certainly
I greater than it lias known since the
lime of Napoleon, who, an artillery
oilicer himself, placed great reliance on
the moral and material effect of the
lire of massed batteries concentrated
against that section of llie enemy’s line
w hich it was ids intention to break.
“liut for tiic last hundred years
against troops in the field, artillery lias,
generally speaking, been depended up
on to create a moral effect rather than
to achive any great material result,
.mil it lias been reserved for tins war
to prove that it i* the chief agent in
destroying the enemy's power of re
sistance.
"It is extremely hard to concent the
position of trenches from aerial obstu
ers, and once lheir position is disclosed
to the gunners and the exact range ob
tained if is not long before whole
lengths of trenches will be blown in
and entanglements and every form of
obstacles, however ingenious, swept
away.
“That the moral effect is very grout
is shown by written and verbal evi
dence from prisoners who lately have
been captured.
“The allied artillery is gradually as
suming a superiority over the German
a factor of great importance in the
prosecution of our great offensive.”

other leaders of the war movement
among the people prophesy that tho
failure, of the government to respond to
the wishes of the Italian people is like
