news notes
Mr. and Mrs. Sam Magids who went
out on the Northwestern have just
traveled over unbeaten trails across
northern Alaska from the far-distant j
Kobuk. The lady is a young bride
but she mushed a dog team for 400
miles from the Kobuk to lanana with
a compass only as a guide. Some
times it was fifty and sixty below zero
but she says she liked it.
Everyone who attended the Arctic
Brotherhood dance last night came
away saying that they never had a
better time. Even some of the old
married men and prosaic people like
steamship agents and real estate men
woke this morning with the
strains of the music still floating
through their sub-sensibilities. There
was quite a good attendance and
everything else that really makes a
dance worth togging up for.
Barney Flaherty of Mile 23, an old
timer, is soon to be brought into the
hospital.
A gentleman today suggested that
the Gateway ought to draw attention
to the fact that at dances here, especi
ally now when so many strangers ur- j
tend, a floor manager should be ap
pointed who would strive to make j
people acquainted. Several strangers
have been compelled from time to
time to go without dancing at all.
F. H. Bailey's outtit will leave
Seattle on the 5th of next month for
Fairbanks via Whitehorse. Steve
I Shuman will join the party at Juneau.
The Hallet & Scott store received
on the last boat a lovely stock of
fancy goods suitable for favors.
Probably as dainty a supply never
came to this part of Alasga before.
Mrs. Burley has now moved the j
Palace of Sweets into the new loca-1
tion opposite the Gateway office.
INTEREST IN KRAUSE
CASE IS INCREASING
JUNEAU.—Interest in the Krause

trict court is increasing. The court
room was crowded today, many wom
en being present. The ladies were

within the court inclosure, while the
seats outside the inclosure were oc
cupied by men.
The government is introducing evi
dence while the defense is cross ques
tioning each witness at length and
I endeavoring to shake their testimony.
Nick King was on the stand yesterday
afternoon. Other witnesses testified.

OUTSIDE LAWYERS
ANNOY ALASKAN
MINE OPERATORS
(J. J. Underwood in Seattle Times,)
April 11.)
Lawyers who specialize in personal
damage suits are creating much
trouble for the mine operators of Al
aska, and, in some instances are
actually hampering development of
the country, according to Barton L.
Thane manager of the Alaska Gas- j
tineau mine. The personal damage*
specialists have conceived the idea of
filing suits against the foremen of
the mines for trial in the various
j parts of the U'nited States—the farth
er away from Alaska the better, said
Mr. Thane, today.
Thane has just finished trying a
personal damage suit filed against
Paddy O’Neill, formerly of the Gas
tineau, who left the company’s em
ploy two years ago. The case against
the company had already been adju-i
, dieated in Alaska. Seven suits have
been filed against the foreman of the
Treadwell group of mines and three
suits are to be tried, not in Alaska,
but in Minneapolis.
J. Cassin Williams, clerk in the
Riggs National Bank at Washington,
D. C., will be the disbursing officer for
the railway commission, to be station
ed at Fairbanks.—Ex.

LABOR BOARD
GOINUJEEPLY
EXAMINING MEMBERS OF ALL
CRAFTS SEPARATELY AND
CANNOT HASTEN.
The oGvernment Board of Concilia
tion and Aroitration, which is now in
vestigating conditions at Anchorage,
is examining the members of every
craft and calling employed by the
Commission separately. It has taken
three witnesses from each and every ;
craft and this is undoubtedely the j
reason for the apparent delay in com- j
ing to a conclusion. It has been
i
pointed out that the Board is not
here to fix a wage scale for one sort
of worker but for several sorts, each
of which is entitled to separate con
sideration and to different scales of
wages. This Board has been estab
lished for the purpose of fixing a per
manent schedule and the investiga
tions for that purpose must, unavoid
ably, go deeply into all the conditions.
In fixing the scale the Board must
be able to make a report to the sec
retary of the interior and show just
why a certain wage was fixed in each
case. The comment around Seward is
generally that the local employees of
the government acted wisely in wait
ing the arrival of the Board here.

GERMANY HAS BEGUN THE
RECONSTRUCTION OF SERBIA
(Special to Gateway by United Press) [
ATHENS, April 17.—Germany has:
begun reconstructing Serbia.
Austria-Hungary has charge of the
work, but at top Germans arc direct
ing it.
If the people will agree to become
; Germans—insofar as it is possible to
make them over—a point has now
been reached where the conquerors
evidently are disposed to treat them
; humanely.
Men are being invited to return to
1 their homes on condition mat tTiey
; cultivate the land in the Austro-Ger
j mans’ interests. Russian prisoners
.' , , I
are even being loaned to help with
farm work.
Mills are being refitted with modern
machinery, expert engineers have n.*r
sumed management of the mines and
every effort is being made to find
workers in both from the native popu
lation.
A similar policy is being adopted in
Montenegro. At the same time these ]
industrial and agricultural improve- j
ments are in progress, both countries
are being turned practically into huge j
fortifications.
Schools also are being opened, tn
Belgrade two are running, with a«
total attendance of about 3,000. In
struction, however, is solely in Ger
man. Serbian children are compelled
to learn it, whether they wish to or
not.
