The announcement that the date for income tax re
turns from Alaskans has been extended to April 1st will;
be well received at many places in the north. By that time j
blanks will have reached till parts of Alaska and even if1
the returns do not reach Tacoma by April 1st, a postmark
on the envelope will show that th ■ Alaskans, who make re-1
turns, tried to obev the law as best thev could.
Two prominent social affairs are on during the next,
few weeks. On next Saturday night the dramatic bene-1
fit will be given for the Red Cross chapter and on March
17th the Minstrel show will be produced by the Arctic
Brotherhood members. Between time the women will
keep on knitting and many of the men also.

Valdez has had a dreadfully cold winter; Cordova hasi
been buried under drifts of snow and Juneau has also had
its limit of weather. Seward has had eight days of ex
treme cold and wind. Might just as well begin to adver
tise this citv as a winter resort.

When it is learned that 1,000,000 footballs have been
ordered by the French government for use of its soldiers,
we begin to realize how the civilization of the new conti"
nent has been carried bv the war to the old world.
Take out the birthdays, meatless days, porkless days.
wheatless davs, and Sundays, mv there is very little left
of the month of February.

Well if March does come in like a lion it’s a cinch
