SENATOR SULZER
 IS OPTIMISTIC
SAYS GOOD THINGS ABOUT ALASKA. FIRES A SHOT AT
 THE DELEGATE
Continued from Yesterday

Regarding political affairs l found most people absorbed with local matters, but the country ap- pears to be solidiy behind PresI- dent Wilson and feel confident his renoniination and election IS assured. The rank and file of the people seem to be fully satisfied with the manner in which the Pre- si5ent has conducted the affairs of the nation under most trying cir cunstances and they are dispose to give him their loyal support
 While in Seattle I had the plea sure of addressing the Arctic Club and Chamber of Commerce along with Delegate Wickershani- In ms speeeh the Delegate stated that one of the first things he would do upon the eonvening of Congress was to introduce bill providing for statehood for Alaska l cannot believe that this : wise prooe- dure at this time and so stated m the remarks l made on that oc- casion. It is contrary to the sen tin,ent of the last legislature and of practically every Alaskan with whom have talked about this subject The Delegate claims that bv starting 8 campaign for state hood it will be the means of in ducing congress to grant us full territorial government. but 1t does not apear that the Delegate can be sincere in this contention, for he and his supporters in the last le- gislature bitterly opposed memo rial to congress asking for fuller government for Alaska The re suits of the last legislature ought to make it easy to pursuade con gress to grant us more latitude in legislative matters, and if this IS the object of the Delegate, well and good, but it apears very plausible that the object of the Delegate in advertising statehood is to cover ard sidetrack the issue Of fuller territorial rights. and thus re tain the legislative power entirely with congress as at present is the case, and which will enable the De legate to retain his power over practically all Alaskans legislative matters, and will provide him with a campaign cry for the next decade To my mind this Is 2 very serious question at this time and one which all true Alaskans should deeply consider"

HOME FURNISHINGS.

Far be 1t from the mistress of a
fashionable home of today to permit
OF such tncongruities in her drawing
room as directoire gown spread, in it's
multitudinous folds, over the uphol-
stery Of a 1915 chair; or a Louis Phi
lippe toilet silhouetted against TWEEN
tieth century hangings. She uses bet
ter judgment in the fitness of things
than to ask her fashionable guests to
lend themselves to so inconsistent
setting. She has at least one room
done in the colors and upholsteries of
the periods which have been SO strenu-
ously dragged to the front this winter
Tapestry squares, for setting into
panels In the wall and for upholster-
ing chairs and divans. have been re-
in elaborate designs and exquisite tex
lures. French scenes in the early
centuries and Holland barnyard pic
lures are seen in many of the larger
squares for couches and screens, while
the bits for chairs, both back and seat,
are more often worked in a single
crown, a peasant figure or a dragon
head. These upholsteries show to best
advantage when mounted on furniture
of heavy carved oak or mahogany.
French velour. both in fantastic de-
signs and in plain greens. reds and old
rose shades, are being used to up
holster that heavy black furniture
which resembles ebony: For a library
where the light is good this makes an
effective furnishing. especially If We
lour panels are inserted in the walls
as a background for pictures.
The importations of silk damask for
upholstering drawing room furniture
or luxurious boudoir chairs and couches
are SO elaborate as almost to beggar
description. One piece of silk damask
with an ecru background done in raised
empire wreaths in palest blues and
pinks and festooned in broad. raised
bands of goldthread ribbon sells for
$45 a yard. The embroidery Is done
over a hand loom in the outskirts of
Paris and is fashioned after the old
time upholsteries of France. The ma
terial is fifty-two inches wide, and each
chair takes two patterns. one for the
back and one for the seat. The size
of the furniture will regulate the pro-
portion of one yard needed: usually
hree-quarters of a yard will suffice.
The drawing room chair of the Louis
periods Is not. large and the frame
shows gold or gilt leaf.

The Born Embroiderer.

The embroiderer, born and not
trained, is positive genius. She
scorns set patterns and follows her
own sweet will. trusting to nothing
short Of inspiration when a new gown
stock is required
The mother of four grown daughters,
each of whom considers herself some
thing of critic on dress, last summer
purchased for her best frock a simple
checked silk in brown and white, with
five yards of ecru lace for ruff1es in the
sleeves.
Mother" cried three of the girls in
chorus; chorus .d,e how could you get anything so
The fourth girl sat with her head on
one side. studying the silk and lace, and
said nothing. She was the family en-
broiderer. But when the house-to-
house dressmaker appeared on the
found, among the trimmings provided,
a vest and collar of cream -colored chif-
fon. embroidered in small silk disks,
shading from cream to golden brown
and dashed here and there with gold.
To outline the vest was a galloon Of
ecru lace. showing daisies, the hearts
of the flowers embroidered to match
the disks in the chiffon. The lace for
the sleeve ruff1es had the principal de-
sign run in gold thread. So, thanks to
the family embroiderer, mothers gown
Of inexpensive silk was transformed
into a CONNECTION" merely by well
chosen and excellently executed hand
work.
The up-to-date embroiderer is, above
all things, adaptable. She can make
the best Of things and the most Of
them. One Of her kind came home
from a weekend party recently to find
her younger sister in tears. The family
left an unsatisfactory memento Of her
stay in the form of a linen shirt waist
suit for the younger sister. The color
was porcelain blue. and the decoration
hollow squares built of the machine
embroidered dots which can be pur-
chased at IS cents a yard-dots less
than half an inch in diameter. and de-
niture for linen frocks last summer.
1T does look so cheap. just as II it
had come off a bargain table," walled
the younger sister.
The elder sister could not contradict
and be truthful, SO she did something
better. She bade the mourner wipe her
eyes and buy two dozen skeins of mer-
cerized floss, and the two set to work.
The family embroiderer filled in the
hollow squares with the simplest Of
basket weave stitches, the floss woven
coarsely in and out, until each square
was a solid mass of quickly wrought
handwork, with the machine-made dots
softened by the hoss. AS result the
younger sisters suit lost its bargain
counter air, for at the head of each
plait in the skirt, on the box-plaited
band down the front of the blouse, on
cuffs, collar and belt were what passed
for hand-worked motifs in silky floss.

Air.Propelled Boats.

Boats driven by air propellers. which
have become we'll known as sporting
craft, have reached the utilitartan
stage and bid fair to play an important
part in commerce. especially in shall
low streams and harbors and in canals.
Broad, h-foating shells. with hard
ly any perceptible draft, can be con-
structed with overhead rigging for
propellers, and can. 1t might almost
be said, navigate wherever there Is
moisture.
Such a boat for use as tug has
been constructed in England. and has
proved so successful that others have
been ordered. The unusual tug has a
beam of about twelve feet and Is about
thirty feet long. From about its CEN
ter rises q well braced substantial rig
ging, which carries the propeller shaft.
An explosive engine placed below the
rigging furnishes the motive power
and drives the aerial propeller at
high rate of speed.
The craft has developed great trac-
tive power In its trials. On occasions
1t has drawn with ease a string Of six
heavily loaded barges. Perhaps the
whir Of these new tugs will take the
place along canals of the plodding
cianking draw chains that are ''fshed'
up from the bottom in some German
canals.
Huge deposits Of low-grade copper ore
have been discovered in the Anoes noun
ta-ns at an elevation of 5000 feet and 4
distance OF eighty-seven miles from the
coast. The surrounding mountains are
practically desert, the ridges being al
most bare Of vegetation, and there is no
supply Of cheap fuel available, coal de-
posits also being lack ng. In order that
the mines may be worked profitaby. the
ore must be extracted in large quantities
and reduced upon the spot to some more
portable form.
The means by which the heat to ac-
complish this work is to be obtained is a
most unique feat in electrical engineer
ing. Electrical energy is to be generated
by burning oil at the coast under the
boilers of steam generators, and trans
hitting the electricity over an immense
ca BILE to the mines. The line crosses the
famous nitrate district Of the Andes.
which is an absolute desert, swept by
high winds. The cable must. therefore,
be laid over galvanized iron towers
which are set eight to the mile, and are
able to withstand a gale of eighty-seven
miles an hour.
The company which is installing this
remarkable plant expects to mine and re-
duce TO- 900 tons of ere daily and to oper-
ate twenty-four hours day.

But remember that it fs worth while to

If they are very small. But they must

Grape fruit marmalade Is also de-

wash them well. Then cover them with
cold water and boil. until they are soft.
Be careful, when testing their soft
ness, not to puncture them with a fork

Candied Orange.
Candied orange or grapefruit peel

packed in small glass or tin boxes to
use for several months to come. The
pulp can be used for fruit cocktail or

which it is removed can be candied
Soak the shells in cold water for

twice if convenient. Drain the shells

pan over the fire with three cups of
sugar to two of water and enough of

Then stir until the sirup sugars around
