GIFTS FOR MEN
NOW IN SERVICE
I By Christmas the United States
j will have a large number of men in
France and GOO,OOO in tho canton-1
; ments at home. Besides these large
numbers there are the men of tho |
navy, a great portion at present be-1
ing in European waters. For the pur
pose of giving Christmas cheer to tho I
men abroad and at home, especially I
the former, the Red Cross has sent
out appeals to all Chapters to solicit
packages of Christmas gifts for the!
i soldiers and sailors.
Last Friday the local chapter re- i
ceived this request. Owing to the
short time permitted to collect gifts,
: the Seattle otlice advised that if tho |
Red Cross in Seward would secure j
j contributions of $1 for each package,!
I the packages could be made up in |
; Seattle.
The Seward Chapter is now asking I
for $1 contributions and this money j
I will be wired to Seattle in time to al
| low of packages being made for dis
patch to the boys not later than Dec
ember 10th.
Any local member of the Red Cross
will receive contributions or the Gate-j
way will also act as agent. The names
of the contributors will be printed
from day to day. So far $7 had been
1 raised, the list being tho same as
printed in the Gateway last Saturday.

Federal Grand Jury, in It’s Report to

Makes Recommendation
for More Judiciary
TWO FROM SEWARD ARE CHOSE

“We strongly recommend the ap
pointment of three additional Assis
tant United States Attorneys for this
division, one to be assigned at each of
the following places, wit: Seward.
Value* and Cordova. A great saving
would thus be ejected in the expense
of the enforcement o* the criminal
statutes, and such statutes could he
rigidly enforced/’
The above is one paragraph from
the federal grand jury report made at
Valdez last week.
The appointment of an assistant U.
S. District attorney to Seward is one
of great • moment and the Federal |
Grand Jury which has just adjourned
evidently was composed of Alaskans
who are alive to the important fea
tures in connection with the Third
Division.
Attorneys and commercial oigam
zations of Seward should at once take
this matter up direct with the proper
authorities.
matters will be settled, the fire boys
having their recommendation for a
chief ready to present.
The Alaska will be the next passen
ger and mail steamer due from the
north, sometime next Saturday.
The Hospital Helpers will meet at
the Hospital tomorrow afternoon at
2,30 o’clock.
.). Kruttschnidt, who makes hisj
home at the Seward, was a passenger
to Seattle, thence to San Francisco |
on the Alameda Saturday night.
I). A. Stewart, who arrived in Sew- j
ward on the Alameda, returned to
Valdez on the same steamer Saturday
night.
It rained in Seward yesterday ami
as a consequence there is plenty oi
slush. Intermittent showers continu
ed today. The forecast for the next
24 hours is stormy weather, probab y
more rain and spring time weatner.
If the High Jinks given by the Arc
tic Brotherhood Saturday night is a
forerunner of what that organization
intends to do during the winter, some
rare times are to be had. There was
a large number present and everybody
had a most enjoyable time.

Boots, made all in one piece
—soles and uppers—without a
seam to work loose. That's one
reason why they’re so different from
the • ordinary hoot, the sole and
upper of which are stuck together
by hand.
“mPRESS” Boots are made out of
such tough stock—actually the same that
goes into Goodrich Tires — that they
outwear any other boot made. And
they’re the foot-easiest boot you ever
wore. 40,000 dealers.
