haustively comprehensive in scope,
requires every person without excep
tion, and every corporation, partner
ship, association, insurance company,
in whatever capacity acting, who paid
eight hundred dollars or more to an
other person, corporation, partnership,
association or insurance company as
interest, rent salaries, wages, premi
ums, annuities, compensation, remu

PITTMAN FARMERS
ENTER HOG INDUSTRY
Pittman, formerly Camp 166 on the
main line of the government railroad,
eighteen miles west of Matanuska, will
soon be the main shipping point for the
hog industry which just now is in its
infancy, according to P. T. McCartin,
whose ranch adjoins the town of Pitt
man.
After the road had been constructed
beyond Pittman the government left
a number of buildings on the camp
site, which are used by Mr. McCartin
and his associates for the purpose of
storing the winter feed for the animals.
Two hundred and fifty tons of farm
products have been raised by Mr. Mc
Cartin and his six partners and they
expect to have under cultivation more
than 400 acres next summer.
The raising of potatoes will cease to
interest them next year as much
greater profits, they declare can be real
ized from the hog industry.
They have organized themselves into
a company under the name of the
Alaska Hog Ranch Company.
A powerful tractor, and all of the
necessary farm equipment, 6uch as
plows, harrows, etc., have been or
dered and active work will start early
in the spring in putting the 400 acres
under cultivation.
Negotiations are now in progress for a
threshing machine to take care of the
grain crops.
The farmers around Pittman are
showing a keen interest in the under
taking and are very optimistic con
cerning the future of the hog raising
industry in Alaska, where a market of
unlimited scope exists.—Anchorage

ARMY IS SOCIALISTIC
Berne. Dec. 24.—Significant as to the
spirit that prevails in some circles in
Germany is the latest issue of the
Koelnishe Vodkszeitung, always a sup
porter of the claim that the German
people are behind the annexationists
and want no peace but one brought
with the sword. It says:
“If one rides on German railroads, if
one goes to the cafes and public places
of the big cities where one meets our
soldiers coming from or going to the
field, one can hear again and again
words,and sentences from the socialistic
press that actually are a great danger
for the determination to hold out, for
the unity and unanimity in the army
and behind the front, for the desire to
be victorious and to see it through.
“In all these phrases of the social
democratic press there recurs over and
over again the one that the war is
being conducted ‘only for the big fel
lows,’ that those who wish for our fath
erland an honorable peace that shall
assure future development are ‘paid by
the big industries’ or ‘are serving cap
italistic interests,’ that the annex
ationists’ alone are responsible for the
third year of war and possibly the com
ing war winter. All the slanders cir
culated to superfluity about 'war
makers' and ‘annexationists’ are bob
bing up again.”

JAPAN IS PROSPEROUS
Tokio, Dec. 18.—Profits derived by
Japan from her trade since the begin
ning of the war amount to 1,500,000,000
