POTATO PATCHES
IN BERLIN YARDS
BERLIN.—-Gov. I’ingree's potato
hatch plan, tried by the Michigan gov
ernor many years ago, is being copied
in Berlin.
A movement, supported hy many wo
men of high position, to utilize all the
available garden plots and vacant land
in Greater Rerlln as truck farms for
the immediate raising of vegetables,
has been started.
It Is the consensus of opinion that
the present war requires some such
step.
To accomplish this purpose it is pro
posed to enlist the aid of all available
truck farmers and agricultural experts!
and to get them to give Instruction in’
vegetable raising and, as far as possi
ble assist in the actual work It is I
expected that it will not be difficult t,J
interest women in large numbers to
carry on the work of feeding tie people.
Women willing to assist, it is pro
posed, will take a short free course
at the Royal Gardening institute.
Berlin is the scene at this time of
numerous meetings, largely attended
by women of every class, at which
ways and means of more economical
living are discussed by prominent phy"
sicians.
The women are being urged to cut
down tin' consumption of meat by at
least 15 per cent and to resort more
To the use of milk. The women are
ashed to think of the men in the Held
and the hardships they have to endure
if economy in eatine seems to lie too
difficult.
Soup in place of coffee for the early
morning breakfast is being urged by
some physicians, especialh for adults,
and then the omission of the German
"second breakfast" to the consequent
saving of thousands nf pounds of food
stuffs.—Ex.

GERMAN COURT FAVOR OF
IRISH THROUGH STATEMENT
BERLIN, via Sayviile.—Assurances
that Germany desires "only national
prosperity and freedom” for Ireland
have been given the Irish leader, Sir
Roger Casement, an official statement
from the foreign office recently declares
in telling of a visit of the Irish leader
here.
"Sir Roger Casement was received
at the foreign office," the statement de
clares, "and pointed out Statements
which have been published in Ireland,
apparently with the authority of the
British government behind them, that
|German victory would inflict great loss
upon the Irish people, whose homes,
| churches, priests, and lands would be
| at the mercy of an invading army,
actuated only by motives of pillage |
and conquest.
"In replying the acting secretary of
state of the foreign office, by order of
the imperial chancellor, officially de
clares that the (Sermon government
repudiates the evil intentions attrihu- |
ted to it, and only desires the welfare I
of the Irish people and country "

FAIRBANKS.—Less (hun a year ago •.
Frank Ahlberg was in business in i
Fairbanks, doing a little mining on
the Bide and making a fair living. To
day he is marketing an invention of
his own, and a fortune stares him in
the face. Mr. Ahlberg's invention is,
novel. He has evolve a process ofj
printing lettering and designs on ap-!
pies and oranges without injuring the j
fruits. The printing is done with aid
of simple chemicals and electricity, an*1
the machine turns out the labelled fruit
at the rate of forty a minute.
A gold quartz property about which j
little is known, but is said by those
who have seen it to lie a very tine j
showing, is located on Nugget creek, in
the Cache creek country. It was dis
covered in July, 1911, by C. M. Gage, j
Ho rich is»some of the quartz that !
Gage, with an ordinary hammer lias
pounded out as high as $50 in one day.
The outcrop discloses six parallel vein
lets, from an inch to a foot in width,
in a porphyry dike 100 feet wide.
The porphyry carries values which may j
he workable. Gage has sunk a 30-ft I
shaft and driven a 35-ft tunnel, both!
in solid vein matter.—Knik News.
Development will be continued this
season on tho Mammoth group of gold
quartz claims. Tunnel work to the
amount of 350 feet has been done.
Judge David, Frank Kelly and C. If.
Lidell are the owners.—Knik News.
Judge Davis has purchased the in
terest of IV. H. Taulman in tho Arch
group, Willow' creek camp. Other
owners are J. F. Fern and Hugh Good
ell. Development is planned tli is sea
son.—Knik News.
T'. P. Skeen writes that himself and
associates, Messrs. .McCoy and Bab
cock, have about concluded a deal to
dispose of their lode property in the
Willow creek camp.—Knik News
A stamp mill and equipment for the I
Gold Hill Mining Company is in Knik 1
and will, it is understood, ho installed I
on tho property this season

JUNEAU.—After being out all night ■
the jury in the second trial of Frank
Joe on the charge of shooting at deputy
marshal Warren S. Harding with intent
to kill, brought in a verdict of "not
guilty." With hands trembling and
head nervously erect, Joo listened un- i
til the verdict was spoken then his face
broke into a- broad smile of relieved i
anxiety. <
This case closes the list of offend- i
ers in the noted Haines "riot” of Deo.
23, 1914, when Deputy W. S. Harding t
w’as severely stabbed. The evidence 1
in this bearing was concurrent with <
that introduced at the last trial, with I
tho exception that tho testimony ap- I
peared to place Joe farther away from
Harding and to make the night a lit- ;
tic darker.

| Senator Charles Sulxer. of South
eastern Alaska, is in favor of the n -
peal of the territorial tax on the out
| but of one of our greatest minerals,
lie says: "The tax of ten cents a ton
on copper is not fair to the small copper
mines. Thu copper properties produc
ing in Alaska are being developed un
der expensive and unfavorable con
ditions
Much valuable time has been spent
by the members of the Alaska legisla
ture on the question of hiring a law
yer. The theory that the expense
would bo greater than Alaska could
bear is very faulty. Alaska can afford
anything that is needed. Just so we
get our money's worth. And there is
the meat of the whole matter. Where
is the lawyer who, with his helpers
and clerks, stenographers, etc. would
really earn $25,000 or $30,000 a year
for the territory? A member of the
legislature, himself a lawyer, estimates
the cost as above stated. Pntil the
business of Alaska becomes so great
that an attorney general can earn his,
salary, we don’t want him.—Douglas
