WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.—In urg
ing increased appropriations for the
United States Coast and Geodetic sur
vey, E. Lester Jones, superintendent of
that branch of the government serv
ice, points out in his annual report
that the survey work bears a close re
lation to national defense and that
his department is co-operating with
the navy.
The two new vessels which he asks
for the survey’s Alaska work are to
be built in accord with the navy’s
views and in time of war would be
come naval auxiliaries. The same
holds true of launches which he asks
for wire drag operations in northern
waters.
That the coast and geodetic survey
in its plans for survey work for new
vessels and for keeping all its float
ing euipment in service the year
around, has carefully considered the
problem of national defense is
brought out by the report in striking
form. Jones calls attention to the
fact that the navy, the first hope of
defense, is dependent on the surveys
for the safe navigation of its shops.
“The general board of the navy
has given consideration to the use of
wire-drag surveys as a part of the
national defense,” he says in the re
port, “and this bureau has co-operated
with them in planning this work to
meet their most urgent needs. A
careful study of the subject has been
made and the estimates submitted to
congress for the fiscal year 1918 have
been prepared to carry funds for sur
veys of two localities requested by the
navy and which it would not be possi
ble for us to do with only our usual
appropriations.”
The report then calls attention to
the discovery of numerous submerg
ed pinnacles in Alaska and New Eng
land waters this year, emphasizing
the urgent need of expediting the
wire-drag work in the vast areas
known to be dangerous to human
life and commerce.
BALLAINE ASKS $20,000
FROM ALASKA RAILWAY
WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.—Visions
of a section of track or a locomotive
and a string of cars of the govern
ment railroad in Alaska being seized
by a United States marshal to en
force payment of a judgment in a civil
suit are conjured up by the visit of
John E. Ballaine, of Seattle, here.
Ballaine was one of the promoters
of the Alaska Central railroad, later
the Alaska Northern, purchased by
the government as a starter for its
trunk line. In its contract to pur
chase the road the government per
mitted the old company to bring suit
against Ballaine with the proviso
that anything collected would go to
the old owners. Suit was brought. It
was to recover possession of the town
site of Seward, owned by Ballaine, on
the allegation that Ballaine used com
pany funds to acquire the townsite.
The suit was won by Ballaine. Judg
ment for costs was rendered in his fa
vor. The costs amount to about $20,
000.
W. C. Edes, chairman of the Alas
kan Engineering Commission, is now
the president of the Alaska Northern
railroad, all of the stock of which is
owned by the government. Mr. Bal
laine is here presenting his bill for |
costs in the action. He opines that!
the owners of the old company, being
Canadians, can not be mulcted, but j
that the new owners of the company,;
namely, the United States govern- j
ment, -an, and that civil processes j
can run against their railroad the
same as against any other successor.
The deertment of the interior has '
referred Mr. Ballaine to Mr. J. P. Cot
ton, of New York, attorney for the
Alaskan Engineering commission. Mr. |
Cotton is frisking the law books for j
some precedent on the subject.

PORTLAND, Or., Dec. 18.—A mys
terious “W. J. Rogers,” whose where
abouts is admittedly unknown, and
who Jay Bowerman, as representative
of creditors of E. J. Frazier, real es
tate man of Eugene, declares never
did exist, plays an important role in
Frazier’s bankruptcy proceedings be
ing heard today before A. M. Cannon,
referee in bankruptcy.
“Rogers holds 49 shares of the 100
Holding & Loan company, of Eugene,
' which owns property valued between
$70,000 and $150,000. The remaining
51 shares are owned by members of
Frazier’s own family. Frazier is now
seeking absolution of about $3,000 in
debts by voluntary bankruptcy. The
creditors in opposing his petition take
the stand that he and Rogers are one j
i and the same man, and that Rogers’1
passessions should be applied to pay ]
Frazier’s debts.
In an effort to prove their conten- :
tions the creditors today placed Pro
j fessor J. A. Wesco handwriting expert j
! of the Behnke-Walker Business col- ;
lege on the stand. After examining j
various deeds, powers of attorney and
letters alleged to have been signed by j
Rogers, Professor Wesco today de- !
dared that Rogers’ signature was a
forgery, and stated that he is of tne |
opinion that Frazier wrote it.
According to Frazier, Rogers is a
mining man, free hearted, wealthy and
an orpharn whom Frazier’s mother
reared from boyhood.
In 1901 he came down from Alaska
with $35,000 in cash and asked Fra
zier to invest it in real estate, which
he did. The money passed through no
banks and Rogers disappeared for sev
eral years. At the time he gave Fra
zier a power of attorney. A few years
later Frazier bought the property and
gave Rogers an unsecured note for
$26,000 in part payment. In 1915 the
Frazier corporation was formed and
49 shares were transferred to Rogers
in exchange for the note among other
things.
Then Frazier filed a petition of vol
untary bankruptcy, and since then
there have been hearings and counter
hearings in Eugene and-in Portland.
In the present case a Miss Madison
appeared as a Frazier witness and
said she had met Rogers in British
Columbia. John H. Perkins, of Eu
gene, who was associated with Fra
zier in business, said that he had met
Rogers also. In addition letters with
the signatures which Wesco says are
forgeries have been placed in evidence
by Frazier to substantiate his claims
to Rogers’ existence. He does not
where Rogers is, however, and says
the last time he heard from him was
10 months ago, when, on his request,
Rogers wrote a letter to Referee Gan
non, from San Francisco. Charles Mc
Ginnis, of Eugene, represents Frazier.

THE DARCY MILL
(Patent Applied For)
The Darcy Mill is designed to meet the need of the mine owner and
prospector who wants to develop his own mine or open up ore bodies with
a view of disposing of the property, to work rich stringers of pay ore
to mill and ship concentrates or to try out a property before purchasing
—at as low a cost as possible.
H Is not a toy mill or a makeshift in any way but. a mill constructed
on scientme principles and equal in efficiency as any stamp of the same
weight. The 2000 pound mill has two stamps of 325 pounds each and drop
at 110 blows per minute for each stamp. The number of blows and the
force of the drop can lie increased very easily by placing springs on the
stamp sterns or the weight of the blow be increased witli additional
weights, which we furnish when necessary.
It occupies a space 4x4 feet: no piece weighs over 100 pounds, and is
easy to move, pack, or set up, .and uses less power and less repairs than
any other The frame, battery blocks, etc., are made of Washington fir,
strongly bolted with rods to stand all strains; guides have large wearing
surfaces; in fact the mill is so constructed that any one can handle it
satisfactorily. Shoes and dies are of special hard iron with chilled faces
screens easily removed—the whole front and back can lie removed so as
to get at the shoes and dies. Tappets arranged to clamp on a screw
thread so that the wear can he easily taken up. No expensive machine
work to pay for in repairs, in fact everything about the mill Is simple,
compact and durable.
It is the simplest mill to start your mine with, as it is an easy mat
ter to add two or four more stamps or to increase the output by adding
the extra weights without any alterations in the mill.
We can furnish the complete mill or just the iron work, or lease them
io responsible parties if they show us their properties are O. II We can
furnish engines, concentrators, copper plates, rock crushers, jigs, tables,
etc., at market prices.
A vast amount of ore could be put on the market by using one small
mill for coarse crushing and jig the pulp, which will save the coarse
metals and get rid of the lightest, and the middlings recrushed in another
small mill and this pulp run over concentrators or tables. This plan will
enable a lot of low grade ores to be worked at a profit which it is impos
sible to do in any other way.
Write us if you have such properties or if you wish further particulars.
yours truly,
H. J. DARCY,
West Tacoma

IT’S A REAL PLEASURE
to view the new wall decorations on
view here exclusively. They are so
unconventional, so out of the common
and so unusually artistically attrac
tive. If you plan to repaper you
should by all means see these new
papers. To decide without doing so
is apt to result in regret later.
