CASUALTIES OF
AUSTRIANS AOE
INTO MILLIONS
MILAN, Nov. 24.—The Rome war
office has issued startling informa
tion relative to the critical state of
the military reserves of the Austro
Hungarian empire.
Up to the end of April last Aus
tria had called under arms 7,000,000
men. Only 3,000,000 of these, includ
ing 300,000 still in training, are
available for during the war twenty
three "marchformationen,” each of
which averages 215,000 men, making
a total of.nearly 5,000,000 marching
reserve troops, have been drawn upon
to fill gaps in the armies in the field.
About 600,000 of these are men
who returned to the ranks after a j
period of convalescence, so that the
enormous difference of 4,400,000 men
represents the Austro-Hungarian was
tage in killed, permanently disabled,
prisoners and missing.
Austria is now therefore, faced
with the crucical, indeed, insoluablc,
problem of forming fresh reserves.
Seeing that lads of 18 years of age
and men up to 50 have been actually
incorporated in the army, the dual
monarchy has nothing to fall back
upon except by rigid revision of the I
last of the subjects hitherto rejected
on one or more occasions after under
going medical examinations.
SEWARD MAN’S INVENTION
LOOKS LIKE A WINNER
—
(Gateway.)
The combination of bed and sleep-,
ing bag which has been invented by1
S. Lundblad of Seward, and for which.
he is about to receive a patent, is an j
ingenious affair and an object of real i
interest to anyone who has been
much out in the wilderness. It would
be impossible almost to describe the
invention in a short space. The sup
ports of the affair are simply contriv
ed so that when one lies in the cot
there is a tension from foot to head
and from side to side that keep the
part of the bed lain upon perfectly
level. In addition to this canvas,
can be laced over the blankets to form 1
a sleeping bag effect. There is not a
nail in the whole structure. This Sew
ard inventor ought to make good.
See Bartholf for that new harness.

(Juneau Empire.)
Six million dollars’ worth of gold
bullion, a million a month from the
properties back of Nome, worked by
powerful corporations with unlimited
capital and from the claims of hardy
miners far up the Yukon, in the
Iditarod, the Xanana valley, at Ruby
and along the Koyukuk, still further
increasing the value of Seattle’s tre
mendous overseas,, brought from the
far north by the steamships Victor
ia and Umatilla during the Bering
sea season of navigation just closing,
says last Sunday’s Seattle Times.
This announcement yesterday caus
ed mining men and shipping men to
reassert that Alaska’s rich days are
not ended and that Seattle still is
“The Gold Port.”
And to these valuable shipments
of the yellow metal in gold bars,
gold dust and nuggets must be added
large consignments of furs, tin ore
and antimony brought by the vessels
from Nome and St. Michael.
Completing their last voyages to
the far north, the Victoria and lima
early tomorrow morning bringing
gold bullion, furs and ores and a to
tal of 550 passengers. The Victoria
is due shortly before 1 a. m. and the
Umatilla at 7 a. m.
Made Six Voyages Each.
Six voyages from Seattle to Bering
sea have been made by each of the
vessels and Seattle shipping men yes
terday estimated that the gold bullion
shipped from the far north would be
$500,000 to the voyage, although more
than a million worth of treasure was
brought by each of the liners on two
trips from Nome and St. Michael early
in the summer.
The Umatilla, Capt. J. E. Guptill,
sailed from Seattle on her first voy
age of the year to Nome and St.
Michael June 1st, and the steamer
Victoria, Capt. John A. O’Brien, be
gan her first voyage of the year to
Bering sea on June 2.
An interesting feature of the far
north season of navigation just ended
is the fact that both liners, as a re
sult of heavy weather in Bering sea,
sailed from Nome the latest in the
history of service to the port by big
pasesenger carriers, steaming through
a field of slush ice which during the
gale was piled ten feet high on the
beach.
The Victoria, following her arrival
in Seattle, will probably be placed for
one voyage in the Prince William
sound copper ore trade, but this has
not been definitely decided upon by
the officials of the Alaska Steamship
company.
The Umatilla is to be operated on
the Seattle-San Francisco route as
i
a freight and passenger carrier in
connection with the steamship Queen
of the Pacific Steamship company.
ALASKA GOES DRY
SUBJECT OF GINGLE
(Anacortes American.)
Old Timers have you heard the
news? Alaska’s going to cut out
booze and henceforth will that frozen j
clime subsist on pop and , seltzered |
lime, and miners from the frozen hills !
in buttermilk will bathe their gills |
and Klondike Pete and Rough-house I
Liz will quench their thirst in kick-;
less fizz and mushers chilled on Arctic |
trips will drink hot tea and smack ■
their lips.
The roadhouse will no longer cheer j
the trail-worn soul with hootch or j
beer; the mining camp will silent be,
except for miners drinking tea. No
more they’ll seek D. Rum of nights
and get lit up like Northern Lights,
since none may buy or steal or mooch
one little shot of fiery hootch. And
Yukon Ike, the. good old soul, will
have to shinny up the pole, and soon
we’ll see Hell-Roarin’ Pete, upon the
water wagon’s seat.
The sourdough when he wants a
drink, will amble to the Yukon’s brink,
and quaff a horn of H-2-0, a harmless
drink as well you know; then go his
way in search of gold and sing an ode
to water cold, and when he makes a
stake he’ll go, to camp and buy a
drink or so, or orangeade, near beer,
or lime, and swear he’s had a ripping
time.
Not like the days of old, not much;
John Barleycorn is now in Dutch,
from Sitka to the Arctic shore, and
“Forty-Rod” will cheer no more, the
Hardy Argonaut for he, has climbed
the pole like you and me.

C. W. Swisher and W. A. Ohley,
who own coal and political prospects,
as well as other valuable properties
in West Virginia, came to New York
and went home again last week, each
having limited his expenditures on the
trip to $25. At the finish they had
to calculate expense to so fine a point
that each found it necessary to carry
his grip and walk to the railroad sta
tion. Letters to the manager of the
Waldorf-Astoria, whose offer to ad
vance money to them they had declin
ed, bring the information that Mr.
Swisher was unable to tip the Pull
man porter and that a C. & O. conduc
tor entertained two travelers at
breakfast, when he learned that they
hadn’t the price.
On their last prevous visit to New
York the two West Virginians had
one of the finest suites at the Waldorf
and entertained extensively. They
made their twenty-five dollar trip just
to show that everyone has got to be
economical under the new tariff law.
