SEW ARD. \LASkA, SATt'RDAY, OCTOBER 9. 1915.
We have hardly realized the fact that hundreds of extra men are now
on the payroll in various occupations around Seward. As a matte* of tact
there are hardly a> many men employed in any other camp in Alaska at tins
time of the year, w ith the exception of Juneau and, for a time, Anchorage.
The city itself is cleared out of workers as anyone can see by glancing at
the streets.
One of th»*se days all travel to ami from Anchorage will pass through
this town. The local men will be in funds. Travel from Iditarod will begin
and on the whole there is every prospect of a rattling good winter in spite of
the fact that the Engineering commission funds are running low.
Alaska should bo amongst tlu* first to congratulate President Wilson,
and in congratulating the president it should not forget the future hirst
Lady. Here's to you. Mr. President, from the Terminal City. is>ng life!
Hats otT to you, Madame.
Once again a steamship comes to grief in Alaska waters. At the time
this is written the actual condition of the Mariposa is not known but the
news coming to the Gateway indicates that there is no danger. The captain
says so, according to the dispatch of yesterday, and it is to be hoped that the
fine vessel will float off and come around on its regular visits. But what sort
of a hoodoo ha., settled on this Alaskan coast? Since the purchase of the
territory more than a hundred vessels have been lost in these waters and
the financial loss was just about the same as the price paid for the territory
to Russia.
Has any public body the right, legal or moral, to spend the money of
the public on its own members? Has any public body the right to give con
tracts to its own members or to any institution of which its members are
owners without calling for bids?
If it has it leaves the way open for rotteness and graft. It is difficult to
believe that the I’nied States would permit of any such practise. Just ordin
ary reason suggest, that the framers of the laws could never have been so
blind a., to invite robbery of the people, and if anything would be better
calculated than another to give political thieves the opportunity to graft it
would be the practices mentioned here.

MRS. THODAY The Old Time favorite CATERER
DRESS 200,000 BRITISH
SOLDIERS EVERY WEEK
LONDON, Oct. 7.—Some idea of
th»* number of soldiers England has i
equipped or now is equipping may be
gained by a survey of the work of
great British textile districts which
shows that khaki to equip 200,000
men weekly is now being produced.
Two hundred miles of this yellow
material. 56 inches wide are woven '
and dyed every seven days through- j
out ^he network of industries center
ed in Leeds and other Yorkshire
cities. Government contract tailors
on the various scenes are not far be
hind the mills in putting the cloth in
to uniforms.
For the past three months the dif
ficult government problem of produc
ing enough khaki to garb the latest
recruits has been solved. I he textile
mills are still turning out their week- j
ly quota and have not yet received a
“slowdown” order from the war office.
From Manchester comes the huge
quantities of cotton thread, lining and
trimming material for the soldier’s
uniform. Birmingham furnishes car- i
loads of buttons, buckles and other
metal pieces.
The number of persons engaged in
this work is a small army in itself.

Make haste and take your girdle oir
It’s not good style they say
Though belted Karls may he good
form
Tlu* belted girl’s passe.
NKW YORK, Oct. 1. Here’s some
thing else to take off in the name of
Fashion. Girdles and belts simply
aren’t to be worn thi season. This
stern decree may bring the blush to
the cheek of those who recall what a
vital part the girdle plays on the 191b
evening gown. Rob an evening con
fection of this its la.>t stay oi stability
and what have you. There’, nothing
to it. Since an evening gown con.-d.it
solely of a girdle and a shoulder .-trip
a banishment of the girdle is hound
to leave much open to discussion. No
doubt many will unbosom them, elves
unduly on the subject. It’s bound to
make it might embarrassing for a
fellow, too. How in the world can he
■ tell whether his lady fair is wearr g
: her waist in tlu* middle or up mder
her shoulder blades with no disting
uishing belt to blaze a trail. Kven the
• poor girl herself is apt to he a bit
; daz.ed and mislay her waistline a’to
: gether. What with donning a normal
waistline basque in th«* morning, a
longwaisted .Woven Age effect at noon
and an Empire gown at night In*
bound to lose her sense of waist lo< i
tion without a single belt to cling t-*.
Just a mere milliner’s fold of good
will join the bodices to skirts this
year, a tiny cord or ofttimes just a
scam. Naturally in the much herald
ed prince, s frocks no joining a4 t'» '
waist line i.- nec essary and th< y may
go to the head of the* t lass of j <1 ■
’ gowns, Shirring, cording, smocking
* and godets are only a f.f the n
ways for finishing the waistlines
now that the all swathing girdle ai 1
the snug clapped belt have eon re
moved from all fashionable cent- r.*-.
You can enjoy a good laugh in any
kind of sleeves you want to thi> 1 all
and Winter for Bishop sleeves, puff
sleeves and our old friend the leg of
mutton will be among those present
when the call comes to present arm .
Leg of mutton sleeves particua !y
are due for a decided vogue and you
will find them all puffed up in many
a stunning gown. Long tight sleeves
are still good style but an indention
of puffing be it ever so tiny is begin
ning to be glimpsed at their start out
from the arm hole and a decidedly
puffy finish for them should not prove
surprising. The flaring hell sleeves
are very popular with fur banding
and make a* fitting component part of
a custom whose short flaring skirt is
also thus furnished with fur.
Ballon sleeves, much tinier than the
ballon sleeves of our salad days, now
inflate themselves between the drop
! ped shoulder seam to just below the
elbow. A funny little short puff at
the very top of the sleeve, with a
long slim finish to the hand, is quaint
and old fashioned. A banding of nar
row fur often finishes the short pud
and again repeats itself around the
wrist or sometimes a tiny double shir
ring of the material does the same
service. Transparent sleeves still
cling diaphonously to well rounded
forearms and though there is noth
ing thick about them they have more
than a slim chance of survival as the
most fitting of sleeves. With their
wierd propensity for erupting puffs
at most unexpected places the only
real thing about the Kali and Winter
sleeves is that they will all he long i4
they belong to the mode.

CHICAGO, Oct. 8.—John L. Sulli
van yesterday redeemed the Fox belt
which he received in 1887 and which
he hocked for a thousand dollars and
was never since able to buy back.
The interest on ;Le loan he had got
on the belt amounted to thirteen hun
