SEWARD ALASKA
THE spirit of service which exists in the
operation of The Alaska Railroad, has
made our patrons our friends, and the safe
guarding and transportation of their ship
ments to stations on our line, to their entire
satisfaction is our ambition.
During the month of May the season of
river navigation will augment our rail serv
ice, and freight and passenger travel will
receive the benefit of our experience.
Trains will connect with all sailings on
the Tanana and Yukon Rivers.
Timetables, descriptive literature, etc.,
will be gladly furnished on request.

j ITEMS TO FLY
AFTER NARROW ESCAPE
MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 6. '(£>)— The |
terrifying experience of hanging help- j
less from an airplane wing and sur- j
viving the adventure by an almost mi- j
raculous landing in the soft earth of
a plowed field has strengtheened the
, resolve of a Minneapolis girl tele
’ graplier to become an aviatrix.
Answering an advertisement for a
girl parachute jumper, Evelyn Bar
rett leaped from a plane and caught
the harness of her parachute on a!
wing strut of the ship. Her own cool-1
ness and the skill of R. D. Ellis, her i
employer-pilot, brought her through j
alive.
She is practicing parachute jumps j
regularly, after hours at a commercial!
telegraph office, and is learning to op- !
erate a plane.

BERLIN, Aug. 6. (£>)—Almost four
million wage earners in Germany must
content themselves with a monthly
wage of $12, or 50 marks, according to
figures by the institute for economic
research. Most of these underpaid
workers are apprentices.
By far the largest group of wage
earners draws monthly wages of $25
to $75. It comprises eight and a third
millions. Almost five and a half mil
lions earn from $12 to $25.

j SUPERIOR, Wis., Aug. 6. (^—Up
