Skagw&y Is fortunate during this
cold spell in having aa adequate :uid
never failing water supply under
high, pressure and u well equipped,
well organized fire dtvartnient reauy;
*o respona to a call at u moment's
notice. Thus far we have been moiq
fortunate than a number of other
Alaskan cities In that we hare had
no fires recently to occasion a call,
which speaks well for the care ex
ercised by the people of the com
munity in, looking altar their stoves
an4 furnaces .
Great care is of course needed, !
but with her network of waternxains
reaching every part of the town,
and with the Dewey lakes always on
tao, Skagway has less Treason to lay
awake nights and worry about the
pobBlbilities of fire damage than, has
»nv otQer northern city.
OTFt T OF FAIRBANKS
LARGEST IX THiiKK YKAltS
Well? many people of the Fair
banks district and the Taoana val
ley expected that the output for
season of 1915 would be larger than
the ou'put for 19H, but few
thought it would be larger than
that of 1913. Yet figures pre
pared by the First National Hank
aad 'he American Bank of Alaska
show the total precious metal out
pu* of the Tanana valley to be
larger than that of either of rti*
two previous seasons.
In 1913 the records of the
Wells Fargo company showed that
$3,630,899.03 had been handled
through the Fairbanks office. Last
year the total shipments of the
Wells Fargo office amounted to
S3.1OJ.073.24. In tho year 1913
a number of large shipments from
the Ruby office handled through
the Fairbanks office of the Wells
Fargo Company and were included
in the output of the Tanana valley.
This year the total output of the
Tanana valley, not including any
phipmects from Ruby, is estimated
at $3,611,000, or only $1*9,000 less
than shown by the b~uks of 1913,
which Included big shipments from
the Yukon river camp.
The figures given in the estimate
above may be taken as authentic, as
they were prepared un<ier the di
rection of George Hutchinson, cash
ier of the First National Bank, with
the assistance of the officers of
the Am'rican Bank of Alaska, and
with suggestions from the agent of
thu Wells Fargo Express Company.

Birth of tha Theater.
The theater is the creation of the an
cient Greets. The drama, in the true
sense of the word, was born in Athens
immediate!}' after the preat victory
over the Persian*. B. O. ."500-+S0. The
famous Dlonysiac theater at Athens
was completed about B. C. 340. Rome
was never much on the theater. In
Rome there was far too much real
tragedy every day. so that the people
had no occasion to mimic ic on the
*ta*e. It was as late as B. C. lol
when the first permanent playhouse
was erected in Rome by Cassius.
Even as late as B. C. f>5 Pompey had
ail he could do to make the theater
popular in the Eternal City.—New York
