Douglas Island news., 1912-07-31

A group of old timers were flaming" in the Hard Rock barber shop this morning and all were telling of the different kinds of slaves that they had received at different times in Alaska. One told of shaving himself on Lake Bonnet with pocket knife, another told of seeing a fellow shaving with a piece of glass on the Koyukuk and one told of the effort made in the lditarod by Rough Razor Bill to clean off q three months growth from his face, and then, as usual, Gould came for ward with a yarn that made them all be good. He stated that in go on Bear creek, he had shaved miner with double bitted ax. The miner cut a hole in the ice to get drink and as he had just come up out of the hole, his beard was filled with steam and as soon as it touched the ice froze solid. He yelled for help and the Porcupine magnate happening to hear his calls, stopped and had to cut him out with an ax.-~ Seward Gateway.

HOW THE THREE PARTIES FIGURE 1T

West Virginia and other states pro-
claiming a remarkable change of SEN
timent Men in all walks of life, it
is claimed. looking conditions square
ly in the face, are refusing to jeop-
ardize by their votes an era of pros
perity which has never been excelled
and which promises to be of long
duration. Mills and factories are
busy and there is employment for
every man able and willing to work
This fact and the possibility of what
may result from democratic success
are being used in the most persua-
sive way by President Taft and his
leading supporters and, they claim
with very satisfactory results.
William Barnes, Jr., New York re-
publican state chairman, is enthusi-
astic in his claim that Mr.. Taft will
succeed himself in the white house
He is very confident that New York
will find itself in the republican col
umn when the votes are counted.
He places the Taft plurality outside
the metropolis at 10000 and con-
tends that Wilson cannot carry the
big city by more than $4,000, thus
giving Taft a lead in the state of at
least $1,000 He predicts the re-
election of Job E. Hedges, the repub-
lican nomine for governor, by about
the same plurality He places ROose-
welt and Strauss third in New York
state in the contest for president and
governor respectively.

ROMANTIC LOVE is ON WANE
Gertrude Atherton Foresees a World
Entirely Devoid of 1t. The Old
Time FIirt Is No More.

Romantic love, indeed, may be
said to be on it's last legs" is the
belief of Gertrude Anterior. In an
article in the November number of
Harper's Bazaar she goes on to say:
1.-The fight for the vote has nothing
to do with it, being as it is but a
symptom of the general development
of the female mind toward independ-
ence. Today sport is one of the fac
tors. In this country and in Eng
land, at least, girls, wherever condi-
lions permit, are the outdoor COM
panions of men. When they sit in
corners with an admirer or on hotel
verandas it is safe to assume that
they are talking golf, aviation or dis
cussing latest bulletins from the
Olympic games. The old time firt is
so rare that when occasionally she
emerges from the outdoor ranks and
reverts to old time methods, with
train of admirers, she instantly pc
comes famous and marries far ear
lier than her sisters; for coquetry has
disappeared with the staple vocabu-
larry and conversational limitations OF
the f1irt. The faces and arms of girls
are as brown as any mans, they look
positively hideous when motoring or
swimming and they are downright
and matter of fact to a degree as
disillusioning as a mans bloated face
or leering eye when in his cups, as
unseductive as the now obsolete blue
stocking. In course of time two OF
these pals of opposite sexes drift into
matrimony. tie up without a spark
of romance and almost as little pas
sion. but at all events with a good
stock of common subjects for the Ia
Bile talk and a certain similarity OF
interests. Possibly these will be sue
cessful marriages. There will be no
high flights, no period OF glowing
anticipation, of dreams and idealiz-
ing. but there will be less unhappi-
ness, fewer divorces, and II, after
ten years or so, new yearnings rise
in these hard-headed young women
they will be articulate and promptly
started toward their goal.

Such was not the case. All the
Atlanta clubs are still operating as
usual-except two or three llttle
ones that the police closed as th1nly

have a permit from the mayor is
new thing, and the ordinance is not
yet actively operative. 1t is believed
that when it becomes necessary all
the bona flde and honestly conducted
clubs will have no difficulty in OBJ
tanning the necessary authorization.
The only effect the agitation has
had thus far is to cause the clubs to
cease dispensing drinks to their mem
bers on Sundays.

a Brilliant Address.

ATHENS. Ga.-The address of Mrs.
Walter D. Lamar, president of the
Georgia division Daughters of the

event of the days sessions of the
eighteenth annual session of the
Georgia organization. Mrs. Lamar
spoke of The Daughter of the Con-

She spoke of the objects of the or
ganization and their accomplishment
memorial, educational and social.
Urging that the South was ever a
defender of the constitution Of the
United States she said:

is the United States as large as
France?" a young Partisan once ask
ed an American. Sir" replied the
proud Texan, my own state alone is
bigger than your whole republic"
An interesting method of demon
strating the size of the Lone Star
State is to spread out a map of our
country and stretch a string across
Texas the longest way. Then, plac-
ing one end of the string at Chicago
it will be found that the other end
will extend into either the Atlantic
ocean or the Gulf of Mexico.
The biggest counties in the United
States are Custer, in Montana, and
San Bernadino, in California. Both
have little more than 10000 square
miles. Inside the boundaries of
either of these counties might be
placed the states of Massachusetts,,
Rhode Island, Delaware and New Jer-
sey. Contrast these with Bristol
county, Rhode Island, the smallest
of all-25 square miles-and one
gets a good idea of the geographical
differences in this broad land.
New York county shows the largest
population of any county in the un-
ion. 1t has more than 100000 peo-
pie.
The longest street in the United
States is Western avenue, Chicago
p miles. Its nearest rival, also in
Chicago, is Halstead street, about
two-thirds of a mile shorter than
Western avenue. Halstead street is
so closly built up that many have
thought it the longest street in the
world. This street is crossed over
and under by 20 railroads

NEW YORK.-Synthetic milk
is the latest product of the chem

the discovery of three Germans.
1t is the same color as the ami

chemists, more nourinshing and
more easily assimilated than the
cows product and non-tubercu-

The artificial milk is composed
entirely of vegetable ingredients,
digested by machinery instead of
by the COW, and is said to keep
sweet longer than ordirlar milk.
It's strength, it is said, can be
