DECREASE IN FRANCE'S INCOME
Paris,—Fiscal statistics lor the year
1914 just compiled, show that dim
inution of foreign commerce and de
crease in returns from internal taxes
has caused a loss of revenue to
France aggregating 193 millions of
francs, or about $38,400,000.
The ratio of decrease was greatest
in September, which showed 56 mil
lion francs deficit; since then the
ratio has steadily decreased by reason
of an improvement in foreign trade,
the difference in receipts for Decern
ber being 34 million francs.
The decrease in the consumption of
taxed beverages during the last six
months of the year accounts for Ss
million francs of the deficit. The
consumption of tobacco'is also shown
to have decreased notably from the
beginning of the war.
ROADHOUSE BURNED
BY CARELESSNESS
--
The fire which destroyed the
Glacier House, north of Ernestine, or
iginated through the carelessness of
two nuishers coming out over the trail
from Fairbanks. The destruction of
the house, which has been used for a
I relief cabin and as such has afforded
shelter to many travelers when caught
in storms, should be investigated and
if the building was deliberately set
fire the parties responsible should
I e brought to task.
The house has been unoccupied for
some time except by travelers who
sought its shelter in times of need.
It will be remembered that reports
*f depredations committed at the re
lief stations were reported last winter.

A weird story is connected with the
ruse of Patrik, a Slavonian who was
adjudged insane Ht Council, on January
i.'i. Patrik was a woodcliopper living
atone in n cabin in the woods. He
.vent to the cabin of Charles Seiple
and said there were so many ghosts
lout his cabin he could not stay
’ here. Seiple told him ho was stay
ing alone too much and invited him
10 come and stay with him, which lie
id that night. The next morning
Patrik was alarmed by the presence
t' a dog in the cabin, saving the dog
"as dead. After some argument the
cog was removed. Another dog ap
pearing on the scene Patrik became
• bed and seixcl a gun which was
Hinging en the wall with the intention
' f shooting the dog. The gun was un
! ai,| and while Patrik was outside
ttenipting to shoot the dog Seiple
; carted to hide the box of shells but
Patrik caught him in the net. In a
snuggle for the gun Patrik grabbed
Seiple around the neck, beat and
choked him, and then went to his
a cabin and locked himself in. The
• dial only secured him after 12
hours’ of patient work. Patrik is
.-•'.I old timer, having been in Dawson
st. Miches 1 and Candle. He went to

Printing Point Does Not
Bob Up and Down
In an L. C. Smith & Bros. Typewriter
the point on the paper which is to receive the
type impression is stationary at the instant the
type hits. The carriage does not bob up and
down when the shift is made to write capitals.
Why?
Because the type is shifted—not the carriage. \
The only movement of the carriage is back and
forth on iis closely adjusted ball bearing runways—
r.nd this does not take place while the print is being
made. There is no lifting of the carriage. i
5 f
This is one reason why L. C. Smith & Bros, type
writing is free from blurs and every letter in the right
, place.
