Vote For

of the mining and business season at this piucer camp, to

concern, and if elected will go to Juneau, absolutely unham
pered with ties of any kind; to do that which will advance

German Science Wonderful Aid To
Army.
PETROGRAD, Sept. 23.—Front till
sides come accounts of the extraordi
nary forms of mechanical warfare
now in use by the Germans. Apart
from Krupp's alleged marvelous in
dention of a 16-inch gun which throws
a distance of nearly six miles a
huge shell weighing two-thirds of a
ton, the Russian wounded have cur
ious tales of other machines espec
ially favored by the Germans.
It appears that electro-technical
science plays an important part in
this war. The. ordinary barbed de
fenses, which it is death to touch,
have been heard of before, but Ger
mans have now invented electrical
contacts for exploding mines under
bridges, highways, etc. Before re
treating tne uerman sappers destroy
the roads, as far as possible, but if
they are not hurried they contrive
various infernal machines fired eith
er by a solitary watcher a few hun
dred yards away or by contact. For
example, bridges over which pursuit
will pass have been fitted with mines
which explode when the weight of
a considerable body of men brings
the electric wires into contact by a
depression of the roadway.
The Russian soldiers do not con
sider that this is "playing the game,"
but they find some satisfaction in the
reflection that all such devices are
prompted either by a sense of weak
ness or a lack of courage. After all.
in war it is the man who wins in
the end, and not his weapons, par
ticularly when the latter are mean,
cunning contrivances like these nov
elties of Germany. This diabolical
ingenuity is not a quality much val
ued by the soldiers, although it
seems to be in high favor with the
modern German.

Although there are over two hun
dred varieties of edible fish in the
waters of Alaska only seven varieties
are being extensively exploited. The
constant advance in the price of food
stuffs has served to turn the atten

the north which are conceded to be
the best in the world.
The spud crop of Fairbanks will
