Real Heroes Are Heroincs

TTTONAN is neither an ider para
w site. She works side by side with her
husband and her sons, and when they are
have left behind. The truth of this fact was
illustrated yesterday in New Hampshire,
where the women went out with the men to
fight forest fires to save their homes. And 1t
has been illustrated in Europe ever since the
war began. Although women work in the
fields there more than in the United States,
and do what we regard mems work in
mines and mills, women not accustomed to
manual labor are now engaged in 1t, II they
do not take up the work of the men in the
armies their families will have to go with
out the necessities of life. The photographs
of women laborers which appeared in the
illustrated section Of the EVENING LEDGER
last night show some Of the occupations in
which they are now employed.
Woman is really mans partner, his indus
trial as we'll as his social partner. Her in
terests are wrapped up in his and his In
terests cannot be considered apart from hers,
They build the home together and rear the
children together, and when the woman has
foresight and economy and thrift they ac-
qure a competency together. No man IA
miliar with what women are doing In thou
sands Of homes will ever make the mistake
of calling them members of the weaker sex,
There are women in this town at the present
moment doing work enough every day to
break down two men. The heroes OF the
battle of life are heroines after all.

gentlemen proved their Republication and
respectabity by standing squarely for him
and just as squarely against other leading
candidates who were wanton conspirators,
they would have put such power in the Gov

vented local option But they did not. They
supported Brumbaugh, but they supported
the conspirators, too. BY so doing they
shackled him and set him to a HercuIean
task with his hands tied. They invited the
debacle-of yesterday, made it moral GER
tainty, and all the yelling and bowling they
may now do will not lift from their shoulders
one seruple of responsibility.

HUGE WOOD PILE BURNS

DAWSON.-A telephone message received from Bonanza creek stated that the big pile of wood which the Yukon Gold company had on claim 45, Bonanza, near Hague's roadhouse, caught fire, and will be a total loss. A high wind was blowing, with pract- ically no means of fighting the fire A small house from one of the pump ing plants was put into commission but was ineffective.
 At the time of going to press the fire was still under way, but 1t was understood, there was little that could be done to save any of the wood.
 The wood is understood to aggre- gate about $500 cords and to be worth fully $45,OOO.

FIFTEEN THOUSAND
 PERSONS BUY TICKETS
 FOR ALASKA PORTS.

SEATTLE, August 9.-Approxi- mately 15,OOO persons purchased tick cts in Seattle for Alaska during the four month period of April, May June and July, according to statistics compiled by the Railway and Marine News. The statistics include the Nome movement. The record is said to be the greatest for any four months period in the history of the Northern traffic. The rush to Anchor age and to Seward and the influx of pleasure seekers from Eastern and Central West States proved a mater ial factor in swelling the figures.
 Excluding Nome, St. Michael and skagway which always experience rush in connection with the early June sailings, the bulk of the traffic was to Anchorage, Seward, Juneau and Ketchikan. As an equal number of passengers will return from the North in the autumn, a banner record is predicted for the calendar year.
 During the entire year of 1914, ap- proximately 3O,OOO persons were tick eted for the North. The four months period ending July 3l, last, according ly, equalled 50 per cent. of the entire movement of 1914

LOUIE FIRED AND
HIRED IN ONE DAY
Curt Williams Gets Curt to
Smith, Who in Turn Sends
Out S. O. S. to LOudermilk
to Come Back.

Saginaw opens a four day series al
Springbrook park this afternoon with
the Hoosiers. The Ducks are now in
third place and four games behind
the Koehler band The long end OF
the series will mean much to either
of the clubs for the tight race now eX-
listing in the Southern Michigan brings
about situation whereby a short
run of losses means the bottom for
the vanquished brigade.
Louie" Loudermilk, the southpaW
twirler. was released and recalled
within a period of few hours yester-
day by owner Ed Smith. The sudden
change in the plans of the Hoosier
owner came when he decided to keep
Curt Williams under suspension. 1t is
understood that the hurler made GER
tain demands upon Smith and refused
tc don his uniform until his wants
were satisfied Smith refused to abide
by the wishes of Williams and it is
understood that Curt is preparing TO
leave the club.
Larry KOrfhagen, the 1914 Hoosler
third baseman and general utility
man, was again in center field for the
club Tuesday and will continue there
until Jimmy Eschen RECEIVERS from
his sore foot.
1t was expected that Loudermill1
would take the mound against the
Saginaw Ducks this afternoon. Smith
wants the big sOuthpaw to make good
this season and believes that Louie"
can do it if he will work hard enough.
The Oden hurlers previous record is
strong enough to inspire belief in his
prOWesS but 1T is understood that
Smith and Koehler insist that Louder
milk produce soon.
Vallandingham and Hill look like
the strongest twirlers on the Hoosier
staff at this time. "Nall' has won

worked last Wednesday against the
Ducks. Sunday against the Crickets

Foodtown gang. But five runs were
netted off the Kentuckian in the
