Mr. Lowell, loctl agent for the
Canaidan Pacific, is the receipie:it
of a vory interest ire: letter from
Ur Mute Payne, world renowned
minsiig uxi>ert, who was a visitor to
our city last year. The letter was
i' ted February 29th from New Yor
Citv.
The srevices of Dr. Payne were
obtain.; d by a large corporation to
make a study of ininiug conditions
lu Siberia. He left Alaska July
<>th, 1915, on the Northwestern and
made connections at San Francisco
which landed him on the Bhores of
out oceanic sister. His journey in
land v.as culminated by his filial
-bode at Vitimsk, Siberia.
Leaving Vitimsk be arrived at
Irkutsk on the Backal Lake, board
ed the Trans-Siberian R. R., and
reached Petrograd, Russia. By
bt.a' service he landed in London,
where he studied the local field
tc-r a fortnight and then resumed
his journey homeward, placing his
foct on the dock in New York City
the first of February.
Mr. Payne has been retained as
consulting engineer by a Joint min
ing lampany and will spend the
year of 1917 in Siberia, making
detailed Investigation of the
field.
Ke i eports that while passing
throu,.:. the Russian province, he
had *£.3 opportunity of viewing the
Russian army. They are equipped
witt plenty of machine and field
guns but are lacking in rifles wa3
the .substance of his remark on
Russia's military situation.
The food supply of the soldiers
has been cut from eleven ounces a
day to seven. Rigid training is
being enforced. Peasants are till
ing the soil. Every available space
of ground is being utilized for the
raising of food stuffs. He Tound
his journey extremely interesting
and endured some hardships which
he states he would not care to
again go through.
IT. Payne expects to visit Skag
way and meet his old acquaintances
on his return to the Asiatic coun
try.

As Old as They Feel. J
They fell for the fox trot and tango last
season.
But now thes- diversions are not up to
date;
Our set doesn't do them, and that Is the
reason
Our aged relations have learned how to
skate.
Gliding with well balanced equilibration.
Gracefully over tlio surface they so.
Tickled to death with a real recreation.
For dancing they found was a little too
slow.
Grandma was seventy-one In November;
Great-uncle Ezra la seventy-two.
Grandpa declfes that ho well can re
member
Ills old days In college with Chauncey
Depew.
You'd think that they all would be quiet
ly waiting
The summons that calls to the cloudy
beyond.
But not these old birds—they have all gone
out skating;
They'ro kicking their heels up on Caf
ferty'8 pond.
Leave to the schoolboy the chair by the
chlmncy;
Let tho young shrink from the snow and
the cold:
But, while the blood can still tingle, by
Jlm'ncy,
IIearthslde8 no longer shall shelter ths
old!
Doctors may solemnly croak out a warn
ing
That death Is abroad on the midwinter
breeze.
But Cafferty's pond's like a mirror this
morning.
And death has no terrors Tor old folks
like these!
—James J Montague in Vcw York Amer

AMERICANS IN WAR ZDI'E
ARE HONORED FOR BRAVERY.
Decorations and Promotions Frequent,
bul Names Are Withheld
"Americans Inthe Foreign legion of
the French army have taken part In |
some of the roughest fighting <>f the
war." says an officer who lias !)een In
a position to watch their work from
rlic beginning.
The Americans of the Foreign legion
have distinguished themselves on
many occasions, earning in one case
"n officer's stripes and in atiotiier the
i ross of the Legion of Honor, while
many have earned the war cross
"The annihilation of the foreign
legion has been announced nt dilTerent
times by the Germans." -the officer
went on. "and even the American press
has published experiences of the
legion, stating that the American vol
unteers and other foreigners serving |
France have been wiped out
"At ah Impressive reviev Niwever,
[ which has just taken I inc* at the j
front General Gilinski •"'■senied to
the Russian avd Polish - • . nteers dec

superb alignment. ; Tr.vded by their
flag, which is one of the few regi
mental banners decorated with the
Legion of Honor. Tho men of the reg
iment showed none of the fatigue of
sixteen months of the campaign. The
veterans of Madagascar. Morocco and
the American and other young volun
teers presented the same soldierly
bearing on parade as in action."
SOLDIER NEEDN'T PAY RENT.
British In France Declared to Be Un
der No Liability.
The British chamber of commerce Is
sues a note regarding rents payable by
BriJish subjects who have enlisted In
the British army, it says: .
"In reply to questions which have
been received as to the exact position
of British subjects enlisted In the Brit
ish army as regards the question of the
payment of rent we may say that the
ordre des avocats at the Falals de Jus
tice informs us that the term 'mobilize'
in the different decrees concerning rent
Is considered as applicable also to per
viins who have voluntarily enlisted,
ana' in consequence1 lintisii subjects
with the colors eatinnt lie called upon
to pay.
"With regard to the question of sums
paid by such persons while on active
service, there is no present means of
obtaluing resiitution. although it is
very probable that the arbitration com
mittees which it is proposed to set up
will Judge all cases individually and
order a reimbursement if it is Justified."
