■■■■■- V
AM HORACE IS LAWLESS
Anchorage, the city by the Inlet, is
one of the most lawless towns In
Alaska.
Anchorage is a den of iniquity and
there is no chance to suppress vice.
Anchorage u a dry town, but liquor
is sold openly and consumption is In
the case, not by the bottle.
Anchorage is so honeycombed by a
lawless element that unless matters
are changed quickly, an appeal will
be sent direct to Washington.
Anchorage icsorts are said to be
the scenes of immot.il orgies.
Sounds like a page out of some Dia
mond Dick novel, doesn t it .
Rut the above is the truth, the real
unsuppressed facts, as given to the
world by the ANCHORAGE TIMES.
The Anchorage Times, a week ago
last Saturday, sent to all papers in
Alaska, with the exception of the
Seward Gateway, and to papers m the
States, a long news dispatch setting
forth that resorts in Anchorage would
put to blush the degenerated resorts
of the Barbary Coast of San Francis
co in their balmiest days. The Anch
orage Times said in this long news
dispatch that Anchorage was lawless;
liquor was sold everywhere, anytime
to anybody: crime was unsuppressed
and conditions were simply he ice.
Now all this comes from the Anch
orage Times. The news dispatch was
sent out “paid press”
that the Anchorage Times is telling
the real facts ol that city, an>i \wiat
a cleaning up there will be when all
this pretty stuff is flaunted in the
faces of the people of Anchorage.
Why the Anchorage Times desires to
tell the . plain truth about its own
town; why the Anchorage Times sends
out such a horrible orgy of a knock,
is past reasoning.
How does the Gateway know of
these facts—because the papers that
printed the story ot Anchorage >
lessncss have been receive*! on ’he
Kxchange desk. And they al <piot«
the Anchorage Times as saying a ot
the above horrible things.
One newspaper, which received the
dispatch, in a two column bloody head
line type says: “Anchorage resorts
scenes of immoral orgies—Railroad
town pape** declares an appeal "ill be
made to the President of the United
* Mates to stop disgraceful perform
ances.”
Groat advertising—isn t it.
Here is another headline in another
newspaper which received the Anchoi -
age Times own report: “Government
town of Anchorage steeped in vice.
Federal government at Washington
will bo called upon to stop orgies.”
My—but what a homey little town
Anchorage is!

! another newspaper which received the
Anchorages Times’ press dispatch:
"Dens of vice flourish in Anchorage—

Isn't Anchorage the sweet smelling
little burg—just the place for a man
with a family to live in—it is such a
lovely place!
And if the Gateway had said the
above things—which it has known foi
two months—the Anchorage Times
and the weakly Democrat would have
yelled their little heads hollow. But
the great and only daily in Anchorage
sends out the real information to the
. world—flares it's wickedness to the
four winds and then gloats over it."
debauchery.
What a nice story this is for gov
ernment officials, who are supposed to j
be making Anchorage, to see pub-;
lislied in Alaska newspapers and in
the newspapers in the United States,
lht> newspapers down below. \\ hat j
an honor it is to live in such a town
and to have to be forced to ask the j
government to step in and command
the little burg to clean up, wipe it>

Disgusting—filthy—rotten publi
city.
But it must be the truth, lor the
Anchorage l imes says so—paid to
put it on the cable to enlighten the
Beautiful—that town of Anchorage.

EXPERIMENTS WITH SKINS 01
FIVE-YEAR-OLD FI R SEALS
(Scientific American)
A .sufficient number of skins of five
year-old fur seals will be taken this
season on the Pribiloft* Islands, Alas
ka, to enable the United States Bu
reau of Fisheries to determine tully
how thev will be received by the
trade, and tne dosi uses iu niuvu owv».
skins may be put. As a preliminary
step a St. I.ouis concern has forward
e«l to the bureau for examination the
dressed and machined skins of three
Alaskan five-year-old seals. These
skins have about twice the area of the
skins from an average three-year-old
seal, and were regarded by experts as
fully equal in quality to the average j
skin of the younger seals that have
heretofore made up the quota for the
natives’ use. A limited number of!
skins from seals five years old were
taken last year on the Pribilof Islands
for experimental purposes. In view
of the probable high market value of
such peits and the comparatively laig*
number of male seats of tiiis age on
the islands, the Secretary of Corn-;
mcrce approved the recommendation
of the Commissioner of Fisheries that
the present experiment be undertaken.
Two expert seal skinners from
Newfoundland and two sealskin spec
ialists from the St. I.ouis concern will
proceed to the Pribilof Islands for the
purpose of assisting the agents and
instructing the natives in taking and
preparing sealskins. In arranging fori
the presence of these men on the seal j
islands during thy present season, the j
bureau has had in view the modern j
requirements of the fur trade and the
increased task that will be thrown on
the local force when commercial seali
killing is resumed.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 10. — Not
withstanding the loss of the Antiles,
the best-informed American author
ities are confident that the national
army can and will be transported to
France with almost no loss.
Fast ships, well convoyed, enable*
Canada to transport more than 400,
000men across th<* Atlantic without
losing a man.
In every case it is proposed that
American soldiers shall be transport
