 The dinner, for which about 15O plates will be laid, will take place as has heretofore been customary at the Pullen House, which is sufficient guarantee that everything culinary will be of the best, the decorations of the banquet room el- egant and appropriate and the table appointments unsurpassable in the uorthland.

GERMANS WERE COURTEOUS, SAYS FRENCH PROFESSOR

Seattle, Sept. 24-Americana ma rooned in Germany when the war broke out, and compelled to remain there until the troops were mobiliz- ed, met with the most courteous treatment at the hands Of the Ger mans, according to Professor Otto Patzer of the French department of the University of Washington. Pro- lessor Patzer, himself, was among those who had to remain in Auabca until the American goVerntnent far- nished special traina to transport them to Rotterdam. FrOEsaser Patzee sailed on the steamer Rottsrdam' August 29, and arrived at the unI- Versity just in time for the opening Of the fall semester. '.....
 Our detention," he said, "was made as pleasant as possible. under the circumstances. The only thing most noticeable in Germany was the perfect order and dispatch with which the troops were ready to leave for the French frontier when the war was declared.
 Professor Patzer spent the past year in Europe on leave of ab- sence. Most of the time he was studying at the University of Paris. but was visiting near Insbruek In Austria when hostilities commenced. After some difficulttss. due to crowded trains, his party was able to escape to Munich before eommuni- cation between Austria and Grem2nT was cut off

 By order of President Wilson. a parcel of land three miles square, located at the confluence Of the Panama and NeAsna rivers, has beer withdrawn from public entry and will be used foa tOWRsits purposes bv the government owRed railroad os Alaska.
 The German embassy here has re- ceiyed late adVlees from Berlin that the French offensive spirit is weak ening: that their losses have been enormous in the center, which is retreating before the Germans; and that Yerdun is being successfully bOmbarded.
 In the opening debate ia the sen a.e today of the Alaska coal leas- tl bill. Senator ShsfrOth declared that its passage would threaten the very existence of the government and its working would cause per sons to lose their Individuality. Pittman, fayoring she bill, appealed To the senate to support the SmoOt measure and said that the bill would be unnecessary weIe It not for the desire to prevent a monopoly Of the resources of Alaska by in- diyiduals.
 Secretary Of state Bryan today received adYices from Provisional President Carranza os Mexico which verify the story that has been in circulation here fer the past two days that General Villa had declar- ea his independenc aud would make War on Carranza.

 All discussion about my running for the senate this fall or any other time should cease. I am one of the most unpopular men in Alaska.

I don't like to kiss babies and I am so ugly that womon shudder when they see my wrinkled face and the vacancies in mouth that once contained teeth. Be- sides my record is very bad. I haven't killed any one, but l have murder in my heart.

At least the oienniany de- feated candidates for delegate to congress for Alaska, and the many enemies Of the present in cumbeut, have bitterly concluded that the "SoWdOughs" Of the north will continue to vote fer Jas.

 After the creation ofr the Third Judicial Division in Alaska, Wick ersham was appointed U. s. District Judge in 1900, and charged with tn duty of replacing the miners law of the Forty Mile, Eagle, Circle City and the Rampant Camps along the Yukon, with the Alaska Code. At that time Cordova on the coast did not exist, Valdez was the stragglin outgrowth of shacks erected two years earlier when some Klondikers, seeking an easy route to Dawson, had attacked the valdez glacier. Be tween the Panama and Cinema rivers, where Fairbanks, the metropolis of the interior, now stands, the moose were browsing and the bear were fattening on the berries along the slopes of the gold-llned valleys near by. It was a princely territory, this, over which the judge was set to rule, extending from the Pacific north to the Arctic ocean, and from the International boundary line Wes' ward to Nome or the econd Di- vision on the lower Yukon and Kus- kOkwim rivers. some of the Jus tice of the Peace precincts, presid- ed over by U.

HOW TO HEAL
SKIN TROUBLES

A Baltimore doctor suggests
this simple, but reliable and in
expensive, home treatment for
people suffering with eczema,
ringworm, rashes, and similar
itching skin troubles.
At any reliable druggists get a
jar Of resinol ointment and a
cake of resinol soap. These will
not cost bit more than seventy
five cents. With the resinol soap
and warm water battle the affect
ed parts thoroughly, until they
are free from crusts and the skin
is softened. Dry very gently,
spread on a thin layer of the res
mol ointment, and cover with a
light bandage - il necessary to
protect the clothing. This should
be done twice day. Usually the
distressing itching and burning
stops with the first treatment,
and the skin soon becomes clear
and healthy again. For free sam
pies of resinol ointment and res
mol soap, write Dept. BAR, Res
