NOME, ALASKA, SEPT. 2, 1916.
l it it tie i indication that China is in
deed preparing in discard tile ago old
yoke of tradition and emerge into a
new era of mental progress, is con
tained in a l/nited l'ress dispatch an
nouncing ihat Pi Yung Hung, the suc
cessor of tiie late and little lamented
Yuan Shi Kai, opened the last session
of tiie Chinese parliament clad in the
conventional garb of the Kuropean.
King George, or Kmperoi William
appearing before the opening session
of parliament of the reichstag, dressed
a i In- abbreviated costume of the
Hottentot or Friendly Islander, would
probably present no more incongruous
picture than ihej appearance of Presi
tiem Hung ithim vmmui
and tapped legislators of the world’s
newest republic.
i tie press account does not state
whet her the new president created a
sensation or not hut, it is doubtless
unite sale to assume that he did.
Hung, clad in the bifurcated gar
ments of an effete civilization on such
an occasion must surely have struck
some of the slant eyed celestials in
much the same .manner as the sudden
appearance of a present pay exponent
of fashion’s latest dictum would strike
llie fal old ladies a l a backwoods
Methodist picnic.
Kveii though the Chinese are about
the most stoical of peoples, there was
doubtless many a staid and begown
ed Chink who gasped at the strange
vision and wondered what in blazes
the world Wits coming to.
Such a departure from the con veil - |
lional must surely have stirred up j
something of a sensation m a land
that hits not changed its fashions in
the lust two thousand years. Kven
ourselves, accustomed us we are to the
modern, the strange and the bizarre,
frequently pause jn amazement at the
tilings we see in the line of ladies
clothes, the styles of which change
about i very du> or two, so it is hard
ly to bo expected that the sedate Chi
nese legislators retained their accus
tomed.' composure when the chief citi
zen of tiie nation suddenly appeared
before them clad in a swallow tail and
stovepipe trousers. The Chinese are
used to pants all light, but it is gen
erally the ladies who wear them cut
on the lines of our own nether gar
ments. Hung undoubtedly kicked up
something of a furore by such a de
parture from the traditional. Wouldn’t
most of our own blase legislators
throw a fit if President Wilson was
to come before congress in the regula
tion dress of the celestial statesman?
However, it shows that China and
the Chinese must lie making progress
when the chief executive so far de
parts from the traditions of centuries
as lo appear upon a state occasion in
the clothes of the long despised “for
eign devil.”
China, and particularly its new
president, are indeed getting out of
the century old rut.
We have not heard whether the
Chinese women have discarded the
conventional costume as yet, but after
litis, it will not lie the least bit sur
prising to hear of them adopting the
invisible skirt or the decollete gown.
When progress hits a nation, it usual
ly hits it all over, so there is no tell
ing what might happen since Hung has
Jumped the ropes.

Mrs. John G. Brady, wife of former

daughter. Miss Mary Brady, will short

ANOTHER DISAPPEARANCE
IS BEING INVESTIGATED
IN KUSKOKWIM COUNTRY
Another mysterious disappearance In
the Kuskokwim is reported hv Samuel
Austin, who reached Flat from that
district on August 9. says the Iditarod
Pioneer. It is but one of many that
have been reported from time to time
from that region of men lost in the
wilderness leaving no trace.
Rut little of the details could he
learned, but it is gathered that a man
named Sherman, engaged in trapping
on the headwaters of the Kuskokwim
river, had been reported as missing,
and a party consisting of Jack Stew
art Richardson and Johnson was or
ganized to make a search for the
missing man. This party-had Just re
turned to Tokotna when Mr. Austin
left. They brought word that they
had found Shermans' cabin, together
with his cache and a two years’ catch
of furs, hut saw no trace of the miss
ing man. In the cabin was a calen
dar or diary which the trapper evi
dently had kept posted, and the last
entry was made in November, 1915.
Austin could give no information as
to the antecedents of the missing man
who does not appear to have been
known to any of the old timers here,
lb is said to have been a man about 45
seal's of age.
There seems little doubt that Sher
man lost his life during the past win
ter, and there is but little likelihood
of his body being found.
Albert Matson will leave Tuesday
morning for the fishing camp on Pil
grim river. Will leave every Tuesday
and Friday for the camp. Information
can be secured at Streeten’s office.
