SEWARD. ALASK IT ESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1915.
French wit must have quite a lot of fun over the Ford expedition. In the
midst of the awful contlict that wit now gets something to exercise upon.
Since the publication of the story yesterday that a young man who was in
Seward last year was late to catchfthe Ford ship the Gateway has learned
that he was actually one of the members of the expedition and goes to repre
sent a university. He is a very nice boy and a bright newspaper reporter
hut how can .t be hoped that a whole ship load of young men like that from
the United Suite's, raw or only half bake'd, could ever prevail on the gigantic
figures which are now shaping the bloody destinies of Europe and Asia ? It
i> really a joke. If half a dozen men like Edison went they might at least
he treated with respect but thir \ *f an excursion of a hundred and fifty or so
excursionists bearding Hindenberg, Jotfre, or von Maekensen in their head
quarters while thousands of men are dying around them! Just think of send
,n£ a lot of school boys to do what the presidents and popes and potentates
have failed to do! Once again the United States is being made a laughing
stock by men who knew how to make money and who. like so many that can
make money, knew nothing else.
Jim Wiekcrsham! What is this we hear about you? Is it possible that
you can have fathered any bill which even mentions anything about a com
mission form i f government ? Tell us. quick, what ’tis all about.
The cable yesterday to the Gateway telling that Russia is about to call
her nineteen years old boys to the colors does not look well for the great
Slavic nation. Is it possible that Russia has suffered more than we have been
informed? General Bernhardi. i member of the German general staff and
the man who wrote the most famous book quoted in connection with the
great conflict, says in an article to a United States newspaper syndicate that
it no exaggeration to say that Russia has lost six million men in the war.
Fourteen days more to the shortest day of the year. Two little weeks
and then conus the sweep upward of Old Sol bringing the Winged Victory
over the dark and gloomy winter as his escort.
CHITINA LEADER SI SPENDS

HIGH-PRICED DI KE
The Duke of Sussex, sixth of his
line, sold for $1,000 in Delaware last
month. This fact is of interest to
Alaskans because scorne of his pro

is a hog, a product of the Delaware

PIONEER WOMAN IS

FAIRBANKS, Nov. 15.—As the re
sult of an attack of pleuro-pneumonia,
Mrs. E. C. Ross, a pioneer resident of
Fairbanks, passed peacefully away at
St. Joseph’s hospital shortly before 9
o’clock bust evening. For days she
had been sinking and physicians held
little hope for recovery. Yesterday
she was reported to be very weak and
all hope of her rallying was abandon
ed. Mrs. Ross was taken sick little
more than a week ago, at which time
she was moved to the hospital.—Fair

The Joys and Clothes

.................
/CHRISTMAS without mistletoe and holly,
^ without songs and festivities, without house
adornment and good looking clothes — would
still be Christmas. The joys of Yuletide are of
the spirit. Yet how much more keenly do we
feel these joys because of the century-old Christ
mas customs! And one of the best of these
customs is that we be dressed well for the gather
ings of Christmas time.
Schoenbrun aisi Tailoring
Say **Shayne-Brun”
will appeal to you at this time because it’s tailoring that
makes you look well in any gathering—so rich is it in
variety of woolens, so modern in its fashions, so well
fitting, so excellently tailored. For your Christmas clothes

THE SCHOOL BOARD IS
ATTACKED BY COUNCIL
That the Seward school boprd takes
no interest in the schools was the
statement made by Councilman Bor
gen, delivered with rhetorical fervor,
at the council meeting hist evening.
Daggett afterwards said that before
the light franchise was given to Mr.
GrafT the school board showed deep
interest in getting lights for the
school but that since the franchise
was granted the Board members were
quite indifferent about such lights, i
, , ,l
Judge S. 0. Morford, as a brother of
one of the school board, stated that
Dr. Romig had been sick for some
days and that he wished his brother
never had anything to do with the
outfit, or something like that. Mr.
Morford also stated that he hear<f one
of the teachers of the school say that
the schools did not leel the need of
the lights the council is now so wor
ried about. He also showed how it
was the fault of the council itself that
all necessary lights were not installed
long ago. Just before that Mr. Mor
ford asked for the remission of some
tax penalties because his client had
a suit with the government which
mixed up matters. Not being the
great John Ballaine the council show
ed a disposition to turn down the re
quest until Mr. Chamberlin pointed
out that if one man could have such a
privilege he couldn’t see why another
should not. As Mr. Morford was
speaking Daggett shouted: “It goes
without saying we’ll do as we like
about it.” It was impossible even for
some of the tin bosses to avoid the
logic of the thing and Mr. Morford
got what he asked. The telephone
franchise was laid on the table, a few
other ordinances were discussed, some
of the usual oratorical flights were
indulged in and those who hail to be
present were relieved from the agony
by adjournment.
