Two
ways
of
getting
along
PUhich wins f
Now and then, we hear people say that
they can get along without a typewriter.
Yes, we believe that. Only forty years
ago everybody got along without one.
So they did, a little further back, without the steam
engine and the railroad train. T hey got along
without them because there were none.
Anyone today who thinks he can get along with
out the typewriter because he can do his writing
with the |K*n, is like the man who thinks he doesn’t
need the railroad because he can walk. In your
method of writing you may be “walking” today.
If so, then remember that the railroad is built and —
Your Train has arrived
It is the New
Remington JUNIOR
J Typewriter
We have built the Remington Junior on purpose
for those who have writing to do and need
a typewriter but who haven’t bought one—yet.
We have built it for
the traveler and for
the home; for the
doctor, the clergy
man, the farmer, the
retail storekeeper—
for everyone who
needs a typewriter for
the simpler uses, like manuscript and letter writing.
The price of the Remington Junior fifty dollars,
cash with order. It is just what its name implies,
a “boiled down” Remington; smaller, lighter,
simpler and more portable, but a true Remington
in the work it does and the way it does it, and
sold under the iron-clad Remington guarantee.
Hr re is your chance, absolutely your first chance, to buy
an absolutely first-grade typewriter at a medium price.
r r $55.00, u e will sell you a Remington Junior on terms
of $5. CO do u n and $5. CO a month. Cut out the attached
__ coupon and send it to us with S5.00 in cash, check
or rnonev order, and we will send the machine.

CANNOT SEND PARCELS
TO THE INTERIOR.
First Class and Other Mail is so Great
That Full Loads are Taken up.
Parcels sent by post to the interior
route cannot be forwarded by the
Seward office to the interior owing to
the fact that the superiorly classified
mail more than takes up the entire
loads provided for in the contract. |
Parcels come under the head of fourth
class mail and it is impossible to send
it. The only way in which the people
of the interior can secure these parcels
is to have them shipped over by ex
press which can be done by sending
an order to Postmaster Hickey. Maga
! zincs etc., are classed as merchandise
! and cannot be sent either. In the Sew
ard office last Saturday night there
were about 2,500 pound* of mail for
the places along the route. It is also
impossible to pick out certain articles
to forward them and those who are
expecting parcels over the trail route
are reminded that if they want those
parcels before the opening of Yukon
j navigation they must send an order
! and have them expressed.

MRS. ASTOR WANTS TO
SEE HATRED GO AWAY.
All Classes Brought Together by the |
Great War Quoth She.
_
(By The Associated Press.)
PLYMOUTH, England. Jan. 5.— !
Mrs. Waldorf Astor, wife of the mem- j
her of the House of Commons from
Plymouth and formerly Miss Nancy,
Langhorne of Virginia, was among
the women who greeted the American;
Christmas ship Jason upon its arrival
here. Mrs. Astor also made an ad
dress at the opening of a relief fund
bazaar at Laira Wesleyan Church,
i “I hope hatred will go out of the
world,” Mrs. Astor said. “A soldier
once told me that he once believed in
| God but since he had been in the
trenches he does not. I told him that
| it was not God who put him in tlie
trenches.
“This war is bringing all classes
together, and in that way it is doing
much good. If we could only make
up our minds to replace hate with love
and endeavor to think that our neigh
bors are doing their best we would be
happier.”
HAZZARI) COMING BACK MAYBE.
I Several letters have been received
from George Hazzard, who spent some
days here with profit to himself, that
he will return to Seward, or, as he
would express it, take in Seward soon
again. The letters or some of them
had the Juneau post mark but no date
except “Christmas.” While here Mr.
Hazzard was engaged in getting out
or getting in some work—that is, a
literary work dealing with Alaska.
Having been in politics in the state
of Washington in former years he is
well qualified for this work—this
writing about this great and liberal j
territory.
NEWS NOTES
That an earthquake really (lit! oc
cur about 4:.*10 o’clock Sunday morn
ing seems to be certain now. Many
people say they felt the shock but
there was some doubt expressed in
some quarters as to the real cause of
these sensations as New Years Day
had happened so soon before.
Derick Lane, James Hayden and
Guy Whitehead left for the Oasis this
morning. The two former will stay
there for some time and the last nam
ed will return Thursday or Friday.

TOMMIES TATTOO THEIR
BODIES AS OF YORE.
“Death to the Germans” the Favorite
Amongst British and Belgians.
(By The Associated Press.)
LONDON, Jan. 5.—Since the out
break of war tattooers have been
particularly busy decorating tho arms
of British soldiers and sailors and
many Belgians with inscriptions.
A favorite decoration is the English
and Belgian flags with the words
“Death to the Germans” or “Down
with the Germans” underneath—these
being largely patronized by Belgian
and British soldiers. A bulldog stand
ing by the Union Jack r also in great
demand. Some sentimental Tommies
have pictures of their girls or names
of them inscribed on their arms.
Others have the names of their regi
ments put in. One sailor is said to
have the names of his wife and five
children pricked on his arm.
Many soldiers believe in tattooing
as a sort of inoculation against fever,
while sailors believe the idea is hand
ed down from the time flogging was
in vogue. Then it was the practise to
have a cross tattooed on the back
which might savo them when the
time for punishment came. One of
the victims in the recent “Bulwark”
disaster was identified by certain tat
too marks.
INDIAN TROOPS FIGHT
ABOUT BUTCHER WORK.
(By The Associated Press.)
LONDON, Jan. 5.—The East Indian
troops are giving no end of trouble
because of their fastidiousness in eat
ing. In the Neteley hospital near
Southhampton, Hindus and Moham
medan wounded almost came to blows
over the question of how their goat
and sheep should be served. It has
been necessary to separate them to
avoid fighting.
The Mohammedan wants the ani
mals,’ heads cut off; the Hindu insists
that the throat shall be cut and the
beasts allowed to bleed to death after
custom immemorial. At first the
British in charge of the hospital were,
inclined to weigh the matter lightly,
but they found that it vva of serious j
concern to the Indian. After two >r
three clashes between the factions,
they were placed in diflfernet parts
of the hospital and their respective
requests in the matter of how goat
or sheep should be despatched are be
ing carefully observed.
