NEWS NOTES
Mrs. Tom Ward will give a paper
hat-making party on Friday afternoon
in honor of Mrs. Edes.
Men came into the Gateway yeater*
day with a story that they had to pay |
ten dollars each for a job on the rail
road to some foreman or another and
they were directed to speak to the
authorities of the Commission. It
might be advisable to say here that
all such complaints should be taken
to the members of the Commission,
not to the newspaper.
In writing about the Wickersham
meeting it was forgotten to say that
Judge Coppernoll presided.
CANNIBAL Ml'RUBBERS
TAKE CHILI) FOR FEAST
SYDNEY. Australia. Oct. 1.—A
steamer arriving from the New De
bt ides group, about POO miles olT the
northeast coast of Australia has
brought the news >f the murder of hx
persons by cannibals. The \irtius
were a British trader named R. J.
Bridges and at least five chi’dren,
whose bodies were found fearfully
mutilated with axes and knives, and
another child who is missing is be
lieved to have been carried oil by the
cannibals and feasted upon. The
murderers were thought to have come
from a village on Malckula island,
where there are tribes of cannibals
who are bound by native custom to
kill and eat human beings in order to
keep up their rank.
LADIES NOW WANT ro
MEET VNCIIOR AGE
The lady athletes of Seward are
now anxious to repeat the conquest of.
Anchorage and are trying to fix a
game with that city in indoor base
ball or basket ball. Fred Tracy has
been approached on the subject but
poor Fred has had all he warns of
that inter-city stuff. He came over to
Seward recently but he is hardly
genial when you -peak games to him.
Let him alone.
WILL TRY NEW MINING
METHOD IN THE YI KON
The mining machinery for the
Treadgold Gold Mining Co. which is
expected to revolutionize the process
of working frozen placer ground in
the Yukon Valley is now in Vancou
ver, having arrived there on a recent
train from the east. The machinery
was brought direct from lx>ndon by
the C. 1*. R. service. Whether the
machinery will reach Dawson this
year or not is a problem. On account
of the lateness of the season and the
weight of the machinery. 27.‘> tons,
the White Bass is not disposed to
handle the shipment so late.
In handling the frozen placer
ground of the interior it has been the
practice to use storm points and thaw
the ground. This is expensive as the
Yukon Gobi Company has been pay
ing $1> per cord for wood. The new
machine is in the form of a monster
scraper weighing several tons It is
operated on a railroad track several
miles in length.
The muck and dirt is first sluiced
off the gold bearing gravel. The sun
is then allowed to penetrate the sand
and thaw it for a depth of possibly
eighteen inches. The scraper then
moves along and takes the layer of
thawed ground off and returns to the
other end of the track. By the time
the machine reaches the starting
point, the sun has again thawed a lay
er of sand and gravel and the sc**aper
takes off another layer.
A. X. C. Treadgold. who was for
merly head of the Yukon Gobi Cor
poration has been making a study of
placer mining methods where frozen
ground was encountered for years and
has been working out a scheme for a
more economical method of handling
pax gravel. The scraper and track
are the results of his observation and
study —Empire.

Of Buenos Aires
By MARGARET MASON
BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 2.—Buenos
Aires is a much maligned city as to
its masculine manners. Harrowing
tales are told from which you gather j
that the leading citizens ami scions of,
first families have nothing more
pressing to do than accost lone fe-1
males along the avenues with a play
ful pinch now and then by way of di- j
version. The stories really had mo
worried but I am not by nature a j
Ueorgo Ado timid sparrow. Neither
could I visionize my Buenos Aires
visit as being passed in the privacy of
my boudoir. The first day here 11
took the plunge and started out thrill
ful I y at one end of the Florida. I ar
rived at the other a terribly surprised
(1 won’t deny disappointed) and un
pinched person.
Since then 1 have sallied forth daily
l unattended and have yet to experience
any untoward unpleasantness. To be
j sure you occasionally catch a mutter
ed remark but as long as it is in
i Spanish it needn’t feaze you. It’s al
i so true that frequently the men not
i only stare a bit unduly but even stop,
, turn and watch you out of sight.
; Surely a North American woman us
j ed to any big city in the United States
1 is immune to a little thing like that.
In plain words Buenos Aires isn't
any worse in the “masher” line than
New York, Boston, San Francisco or
New Orleans. It’s not one half as of
fensive in that respect or rather dis
respect as Home, Madrid or even
Baris. Really the Argentine maids
i and matrons rather encourage the
stares and remarks of the male con
tingent than otherwise. As they pass
by in their elaborate frocks and frills
they feel slighted and discouraged un
less they leave a wake of admiring
glances and ecstatic gasps of “her
mosa” or “simpatica.” You can’t
blame the poor things for being
grateful for a little masculine atten
tion on the streets. That’s about the
only time the men ever notice them.
Buenos Aires is indeed a man’s town
and wives and daughters are used
mostly to adorn the home. Almost
all the smart breakfasts, banquets
and functions at the Plaza, the Jockey
Club or the Paris Hotel are stag af
fairs while stag nation is the usual j
lot of the women save for the wild ex
citement of going to the opera or to
church.
There are semi-weekly dances at
the Plaza now, the dansants and
musicals but these are atended most
ly by the American and English fair
sex while the true Argentine lady
bides at home with the exception of a
few young girls who come well chap-*
eroned.
Florida (pronounced Flor-ee-da) is
|
the Fifth Avenue of B. A. Here are
the largest and smartest shops and
along its way everyone who is anyone
promenades or motors. It is a woe
fully narrow street with room on its
sidewalks for only two people to walk
comfortably abreast. From 4 till 8
p. m. however all vehicles are barred
and then the pavement is used as a
promenade.
The Argentine women dress most
elaborately, their furs are sumptuous
and their hats are laden with wonder
ful aigrettes and Paradise that to us
are forbidden fruit. Their lingers
and ears glitter with the most beauti
ful diamonds l have ever seen and yet
they wear their clothes with the true
chic of a Parisian. Still there is no
trace of a too lavish ostentatiousness
or vulgar display. Beautiful abund
ant hair and small, well shaped feet
are the two extreme charms of the
Buenos Aires belle. The first is ac
centuated by being always perfectly
dressed and well cared for. The sec
ond by the most extravagantly de
signed and well made of foot gear.
Almost any foot would look attractive,
in the short vamped, high heeled
Parisian last that is all prevalent |
here. Exquisite are the high boots of
bronze, patent kid and suede, some
made as if molded to the foot with no
visible lacings or fastenings.
