PLAN OF CHAPLIN
 REORGANIZATION

The Claflin reorganization plans call primarily for creation of a Mer- cantilc Stores corporation which will acquire all the assets of the Claflin Company including the stock of the 23 allied stores now in the hands of receivers and the stock of the three which did not fail
 The Mercantile Stores Corporation will organize a concern to- be known as the H. B. Claflin Corporation, to carry on such part of the wholesale business of the Fl. B. Claflin Co.,, as is deemed advisable. Probably there will be transferred to the new Claflin Co, $6.OOO,0OO of assets of the present concern in exchange for its stock, all of which will be owned by the Mer- camille Corporation.
 If the agreement becomes opera tive, general creditors and holders of notes will be paid 15 per cent in cash to be obtained from partial liQuida- ton of assets, and S5 per cent. in the Mercantile Corporations three year collateral notes, dated Dec. 1, next, and bearing not over per cent. inter- est, payable only out of the income. These notes will be secured by stock collateral to be deposited under trust
The Alaska daily empire., 1914-10-07

agreement. The notes to direct H. B. Claflin Co.,, creditors will be secured by one.sixth of the stock of the new Claflin Corporation.
 If majority in number and amount of noteholding interests wish to ex tend their maturity for two years they may do so, but if there is no such ex tension. the trustees will enforce the payment. Indebtedness of allied stores to the parent store will be cancelled unless a store owes the Claflin com pany more than the company owes It. John Claflin has assigned any claims held by him against H. B. Cliflin com pany, and the retail stores, and they will be transferred to the Mercantile Corporation, thereby cancelling them
 A reorganization committee will have full power to effect settlements by composition, sales or purchase, for cash or by delivery of notes, with the creditors holding claims against the 23 affiliated stores, provided the claims are not against assets of the H. B. Clafflin Company and do not par ticipate in the plan.
 The Mercantile Company stock is to have no par value and is to be held by trustees for protection of the cred itOrs of the corporation. The trus tees will in effect own the stock un til the notes are paid, extended or re issued. When payment has been made in full, the Mercantile Corporation will deliver the stock to II. B. Claflin Company under agreement made with Mir. Claflin.
 The administrative arrangements of the Mercantile and Claflin corpora tions will be wholly independent and the 23 stores will not be forced to buy their goods from the parent wholesale company.
 The reorganization committee is to select the first board of managers of the Mercantile Corporation and al least three of the seven members shall be merchants. A majority of the board of managers of the Claflin Corpora ton must be merchants until the col lateral notes are paid.
 All creditors may become parties to the plan and agreement of reorgani zation by depositing claims with the Bankers Trust Company, as deposi tary, at it's office, New York, or with the Northern Trust Co.,, Chicago; Gi rard Trust Co.,, Philadelphia; Mercan tile Trust Co.,, St. Louis; and the Old Colony Trust Co.,, Boston, as agents of the depositary. Deposit of claims other than on notes discounted by the II. B. Claflin Co.,, with one of the com mittees formed to represent the cred itors will make said depositors par ties to this plan and agreement, in the discretion of the committee.
 All deposits must be made on or be fore Oct 15, 1914, after which no de posits will be received except in dis erection of the committee.

 "The blacksmith at Long City is now busy shoveling dirt from q small creek running back of his shop on the edge of town and is making from $lO to $15 a day. He went over there to get some water originally. There are creeks and creeks down there that haven't hole on them and l predict that it will be a great place for pros. pecting this winter. l grubstaked two men because it looks good to me. You are going to hear some good news from that district.
 "The road to Ruby on the Yukon river is the worst l ever saw. Last year the government built three miles and this year six miles. A little two horse stage requires two days to make the thirty miles and charges $15 for the trip. The niggerheads and mud are axle deep most of the way. At the Hoop roadhouse, about half way, meals cost $1.5O, coffee 70 cents.
 In going over the creeks I took some notes of who are working and where they are located, which follows:
 Long Creek-Gldund & Co.,, Deitz & Co. Alex Larson, Kelly & Co.,, Ora ham & Erickson, Nelson & Surte. vent, StrOup & Laboske, Buckley Bros. Nelson & Co.,, Dave Ward, Carl Whit ton, Warren & McDermit, Strite & Burke, Wekstrom. Ollie Ives.
 Birch creek-Pelke & StreliC, Chas. Strite, w. Warren, Alex Larson (who bought a claim on Birch for $5,O0O).
 "PoOrman creek-Herron & Co.,, Welfree & Tuber, Smith & Co.,, Pat. terson X Co.,, Coyle Bros, McLoud & Co.,, George Bettle.
 Flat Creek-Dan Sutherland, Vel leka & Medley, Cyclone Johnson, Fer ris Fowler, Joe Ward.
 Big creek-The Ruby Development Co. is bringing up a drill from Nome to prospect.
 "On Long creek the fifteen plants are all busy and doing well. The biggest cleanup this summer was one on Bear Pup, where Gidlund & Go. cleaned up $33,OOO. Altogether they will clean up about $15O,OOO this sea son. Many large nuggets have been found this year on Long creek, rang ing from $50 to $500 each.
 "Brier creek is looking very good Some ground has gone $2 to the foot and it averages high.
 Down below Long creek a dredge has been ordered for Greensboro creek by Holmgreen, Miller & Jen- sen. Fairbanks News Miner.

BOSTON BANKER HAS
 AN OLD GRUDGE

A Boston banker says: "A number of the leading English authors and publicists are making heOriC appeals 10 the United States to join in the European fray in the name of human ity' and freedom H. c. Wells, the novelist. has voiced these sentiments, also the poet, Watson, and now comes Hall Caine, who asks if it is Conceiv. able that 9O.OOO.OOO enlightened peo- pie in the United States, bound to the bclligerants by the closest ties of blood can sit OF the other side of the At lautic ocean and say to each other: This bloody business is none of ours, so for God sake, let us keep out of it.
 Tn these fervid appeals to neutral America to help crush the demon or Prussian militarism in the name of humanity, freedom, and democracy, it is apparently forgotten that England in our own Civil War almost openly espoused the cause of the slave pow CT against the Union, even though she had freed her own slaves. The cause of humanity and freedom was then secondary to that economic self.inter' est-Boston News Bureau.

ONE OF ALAsKA's FRIENDS

One of the strong Representatives in Congress who is always on the alert to assist the passage of deserv- ing and remedial legislation for Alas ka is Judge Charles F. BoOher, of Sa- vannah, Missouri. He is affiliated with the National party that has al- ready done so much to give hope and announcement to the impoverished people of Alaska. Judge Booher was an active advocate for the passage of a coal leasing bill for Alaska, and has given evidence that he is at all times prepared to assist President Wilson, the great liberator of Alaska in striking off the shaCkles that for so many years have prevented the development of one of Uncle Sans richest domains. The clear sight oi the present administration, strength ened by the energy and ability of sucf men as Judge Booher presage for Al aska the dawn of prosperity growtl and contentment in the large terri tory that has been so long neglected -CordcTa Alaskan.

 "The prisoners were corralled in n room. At n word from the ensign they were released and told to scurry to the next corner. Those who reach ed 1t in safety, in the opinion of the ensign, deserved to live.
 But very few did.
 "The ensign applied the ley de fun. .ga'-the law of flight.
 "The law of flight is not nice. The rules of civilized warfare forbid the application of the law of flight.
 But war is war, and one Ameri- can naval officer did apply the law of flight. He admits 1t; boasts about it. Curiously enough, his friends ap. plaud him for it.
 Hundreds of American army and navy officers and men know that this ensign and his men applied the for. bidden law of fIight-made sport of prisoners of war and even non.com. battants, giving them flying start and 'potting them as they fled.
 q have been told that it was fun to see them run.
 When l was 8 boy had bull dog who applied the law of flight.
 "The trick was for the dog to catch, if he could, all the rats before they reached the split rail fence which surrounded the pasture. Once through the fence there was no catching the rats-because they lost themselves in the tall grass.
 T remember that the first rat that ever left the trap never got more than q yard, perhaps, and so on. The last rat always tried desperately to reach the fence.
 But it was very seldom that even the last rat escaped that bulldogs jaws. l imagine that my bulldog and the young ensign, or former football

CARNEGIE SAYS
 BLAME NOT KAISER

Andrew Carnegie absolyed Emperor William of Germany for the responsi, bnity for the war on his arrival at New York on the Maurietiania, say ing:
 "I know the Kaiser well, He Is the most sorrowful man in Europe today, He went to sea for Q vacation. He was on his yacht when he heard of the trouble He got into commuica' tion with Berlin. He was called back and went with all speed. When he got there the mischief was done. His ministers are responsible for the en- tire affair. The German emperor has done more for developing Ger. many than any ruler of his time.
 "The Kaiser has made schools, has pansioned the working classes, and has helped the laboring man. He found Germany, under Bismark, an uncivilied country.
 Things have taken such turn that l believe Sir Edward Grey said exact. ly the right thing when he made the statement We are not fighting the German people, but German militar- ism
 German militarism overrules the great men of Germany, who are not members of the court, but are scient. ists philosophers and the real leaders of progress.
 "The rulers of the world gather around the men who feel that they have tenure of office, and form these military cliques, as in Germany, and they took such action as insti' gating war during the absence of the Kaiser.
 q am delighted to find that Eng land has so great and able states. man as Sir Edward Greyh He will lead in the right way; he is man who does not say things without mean ing them. There is no greater states man in the world today.
 ITO get bacg to republic at peace where there is not soldier nor a guard to be seen. what a contrast! You have no idea what confusion eX- ists in Great Britain. We Americans should be the most thankful people of the world. It behooves us to main tain our neutrality and set Europe as an example. We really have As coun- tries. They form one union, the bro. therhood of man. You don't know how far in advance of Europe we are and this war has put the Continent farther behind than ever. We have abolished slavery-the owning of man by man. We next should abolish war-the kill. ing of man by man.
 Tt should be inhuman and short sighted to stop the war now. Such action would mean that only an armed truce and resumption of hOStilities at an early date. The hope that social ism might end the war has burst in it's bubble. It has been proved that the socialists have the human weak? ness for fighting.
 There is only one way to end war, and that is to have an international court, an international police court, you might call it, where the nations could settle their differences and where not more than two nations could become allies. The nations should up- hold power of the court and allow none to violate its verdict. t."-Boston News Bureau.

WAR HELPS SALE
 OF RAINIER BEER

George Bettes, Alaska representa- tive of the Seattle Brewing & Malt ing Company who recently returned to Juneau from an extended trip to the Westward declares that the Eur. opean war has had an important ef' feet on the beer market and that there has been a wonderfully large increase in the demand for Rainier beer as a consequence, especially in the foreign trade.
 The increase is due to the suspen- sion of the importation of European beers, particularly those from Ger. many.

HOW TO MAKE
TABLE PRETTY.
AND HEALTHY
Dainty Colorings and Simple
Designs With Sprigs of
Green Make Meal Attract
i've, Aiding Digestion.

Food may be of the best quality and
perfectly cooked but if it is put on the
able in helterskelter fashion or serv-
ed ON sticky, cracked dishes, 1t Will
fall short of nourishing the BODY as
fully as is possible. There are other
things that influence the digestion,
things that may seem trivial at nrst
glance but that have been proven by
time and experience. On the other
hand, If it is necessary to plan mex
pensive meals the food will give more
strength if care is taken to make 1t
attractive. 1t is a recognized 1act
that food digests more quickly when
the mind and eye rests on the beautl-
full.
The table itself, even if it is of the
plainest wood, must be free from stick
ines or dirt. Economic in quantity If
necessary but have spotlessly clean
tablecloths and napkins, doilies of diff
ferent kinds may be substituted for
the cloth. Pretty lunch cloths OF mex
pensive materials and with touch OF
color perhaps, afford frequent changes
and lessen the amount of work.
Avoid Gauoy Designs.
An ample stock Of pretty blue and
white or plain white china is better
than a few pieces of costlier ware that
is Clipped or cracked. Wonderfully
pretty china of dainty design can be
bought nowadays at very low cost.
Simplicity of pattern and delicacy of
color are better taste than glaring de-
signs and gaudy colors.
Whenever possible have a bit of
green on the table; not a tall piece
that one must sight around to speak
to the person opposite him, but a low,
unOhstructive decoration of some sort.
Leaves, baskets, fruit, flowers and my
RAIDS of combinations suggest them
selves to skillful housekeeper.
For few cents one can buy enough
parsley with a little effort it can be
grown on the kitchen windowsilD to
make the plainest of meat dishes, sal
ads and leftovers look fresh and dain-
ty. A plain cornstarch pudding may
be moulded and served with bit of
fruit or cream on top. A salmon Loaf
with border of peas is twice as at.
Iractive as without. Boiled rice and
diced carrots also offe. variations OF
the border idea.
No matter how simple the meal is
let the table show absolute cleanliness
and attention to detail, and this will
give result that can be obtained in
no other way. The homemaker is well
repaid for the extra thought by the
unconscious influence it works on the
other members of the family
