dreds Of western tourists this year.
In years past the request for eastern
touring information has principally
come from the larger cities Of the west
With the tremendous rise in the output
of automobiles, it was to be exne tied
that this demand would rapidly in
crease and spread to the agricultural
areas, but with the Pacific coast
claiming the spot light IT was not an

perhaps best explained by the wide
publicity given the fine highways Of

that so long as we have religions with

second is that the wOrshiper's con-

the divine Will as revealed in a
book, or by an organization known
as a church.
In regard to the first requisite. or
"worshiping God" nobody cares a
rap how the other fellow does it so
long as it doesn't discomfit him.
However, in the second requirement
of religions the case is vastly differ

their making and interpreting our
laws. Why should they not make and
interpret those laws in conformity

CALLS 1T A SIN.-Isn't it a sin
that so many poor people who are
conscientously religious must suffer
in spite of their many earnest pray
ers? l have seen many poor people
who wouldn't harm anyone and who
believe without deception in God and
the hereafter go through the most
cruel affections imaginable.
About the only time they really
feel happy is when they have some
one to talk with and console them,
and it would be wrong to say one
word against their belief because
they are sincere and deserve more of
the worlds good than they receive
now.

San Francisco Celebrates

San Francisco, April I7.-While the city of San Francisco lay in ruins, and the air still quiyered with the heat of it's uuextinguished embers, and hun dreds of thousands of its people home less, its citizens began the planning of the great international exposition In the fall of 1906, only a few months after the great fire that destroyed the entire business and manufacturing section of the city and much of the residence part, action was taken by the legislature looking toward the holding of an exposition in San Fran cisco. In Decem Der of the same year an exposition company was incorpor- ated. Today, only niue years after the great fire, the greatest international exposition in the history of the world is being held in San Francisco.
 It was on April IS, 1906, that an earthquake that damaged the city water mains and shut off the water supply was followed by the fire that within seventy-two hours had laid the city in ruins, wiped out it's business, rendered homeless great proportion of its people and made money SO scarce that for weeks millionaire and pauper stood side by side in the bread line, neither able Co buy tho food necessary to keep bim alive.
 On February 20, 1915, the Panama Pacific International Exposition threw open its gates to the world-aud the world responded.
 The city that less than nine years before lay in ashes is today host to the nation and Go all the nations.
 And the exposition, great as it is- and, as before stated, it is the greatest in the history of expo-itious-is ouIy in keeping with the greatness of the city that has produced it.
 For San Francisco of 1915, the new San Francisco, is a bigger, better, more beautiful San Francisco than the old city of "Before the Fire" It is a richer, more prosperous city, with a larger population, finer buildings, more more imposing public improvements.
 And beyond all else, it is a city of hope and confidence, for it has been tried and found not wanting. lt has passed through flame and came out uuscratched. ]: has been razed 10 the ground aud has ati,eu undismayed.

Many people who live on Douglas Island, do so not SO much from choice, but because of the employment in and about the The Treadwell mines. Here they have their homes and rear their families. They are not taxpayers for the simple reason that they are not owners of taxable property. But if you take away from these people the opportunity to give their children an educatiou-which in many cases the parents have been deuied-they will move back to Che States, and who can blame them. Aside from sentiment, aside f:om convictions, aside and in spite of anything that may be said in the matter, that will be the condition if the town goes dry.
 Mrs. l.. II. Keist was taken Co the s. Ann hospital Monday. Yesterday she underwent an operation from which she rallied very nicely and her many friends hope for her speedy recovery.

The recent order of the federal judge on the question of licenses for the sale of liquor, is a matter of vital interest to the people of Douglas Island, and the main topic of conver- satiou. It is even reported that the U. s. Attorney General has sent out a hint to Alaskan officials that he would be pleased to see Alaska go dry; aud that after Congress has given us local option. We don't know anything about that, but we do know the many hard ships it would bring on the people of Alaska towns if it did go dry.

There is a wide range of opinion as to who is most interested in the wet and dry controversy. Not me- says the renter. "I won't have to pay any more taxes if it does go dry" "Why not" says the landlord If my taxes are raised, l will only have to raise your rent. That's all."

A ND now the season Is In full
~ swing; no more doubts as to
- what fabrics will be en-
ployed, what colors will be used, or
what outline will be followed. In
short, there are no more doubts
what the vogue will be for the
coming Winter.
Those who have been waiting for
something different, something
newer" need wait no longer, for
that question has now been def.
nitely decided and settled, and with
the wonderful array Of fabrics,
ooIors and styles, we should have
one Of the most brilliant eras in
the history of fashion.
There are outlines and colors to
suit every type; the tall and
stately, the petite and piquant, the
blonde, the brunette, and even the
every day type will find a fashion
that will bring out her good points.
And indeed the season" this
year, in so far as fashion is con-
cerned, must be a brilliant one.
With the sadness on the other side
Americans are naturally loathe to
leave their own shores, except in
cases of extreme necessity, and our
beautiful women who have helped
to make the London and Paris sea-
sons noteworthy for their brill
liancy, will this Winter lend their
radiance at home. And our manu-
facturers, with true American
forethought have prepared for it.
Never have l seen such wonder
full silks, laces, chiffons, and
brocades as the looms have turned
out this season; cobwebby laces
with gold and silver threads run
ming through them, brocades with
gold and silver flowers interviewer,
and the colorsl as II nature her
self had woven them from rain
bows, sunsets; Spring and Autumn
tints.
Furs, too, despite the curtailed
supply from abroad. were never so
gorgeous in richness and variety.
The woman of limited as well as
unlimited means can indulge IN
this beauty enhancing accessory
20 her hearts content, for who
can gainsay that a touch OF fur at
the neck, sleeves, or any other part
OF the dress, does not enhance the
charm OF a costume, be 1t morn
ing, afternoon or evening attire. So
appreciatiVe are we OF this charm,
that ''Furs in Summer" has become
quite the vogue. This, however, is
an exaggeration which cannot last,
for after all, even fashions are
sifted down 10 the practical.
And speaking of the practical,

dress extravaganza, does not pro-
vide herself with a pair of boots
or shoes to go with each costume?
The Russian boot is perhaps one
OF the most unusual departures in
the way OF footwear. These, of
course, are mostly worn with
tailor-mades and when worn with
an appropriate costume, present
very striking aspect.
Such a costume / have created.

Fifth avenue in short stilted steps,
expanding a great deal of unneces-
sary energy. we can now stride
along with free and easy gait and
enjoy the movements of our limbs
unhampered. In the theatre, the
restaurant, the ballroom, we can
move with easy grace, whether we
have a beautifully moulded form or
an Indifferent one, It matters not
with the billowy hoops, and clouds
OF tulle, and stately brocades.
And the bodices! what a relief
from the loose uncorseted figure;
and what a blessing that this par
ticularly un-beautiful mode was so
short lived. ] hate to think what
would have become of "Woman's
form divine" If this mode had last
ed; suffice it TO say that outlines
would no longer be necessary and
the word Fashion" would prob
ably become extinct. But let us
not dwell on such a horrible ex-
igency. The new little tight bodice
shall repair the wrong that has
been done, and the waist line shall
come into its own again.

ject, / want to call your attention

son. II you are at all interested In
fashion periods, you will see that
this outline prevailed from 1880 to
1910, modified of course from
year to year, which amply proves
it's popularity.
The sloping shoulder, too, Is
quite a departure from the ex-
tremely low cut decolletage, which
has been en- vogue for so long, and
to say that this is refreshing, Is
putting 1t mildly; for who will not
agree that a modest display of
rounded shoulders is more inviting
TO the eye than a bare back down
to the waist line.
For those who do not happen to
be fortunate enough to possess the
necessary rounded shoulders,
have introduced a little shirred I'M
derbodice of flesh colored net or
chiffon which will produce the
same effect, while it will not dis
play to the naked eye any pro-
truding bones or unsightly hollows.
Apropos Of the short fiaring skirt
again our enterprising American
manufacturers, with characteristic
forethought, have provided the
necessary complement. Boots and
shoes have never been shown in

fitting bodice coming down to the
hip onto which is attached a full
skirt. Note the queer little pun at
the top of the sleeve. With this
frock is worn a black taffeta coat
OF very full dimensions with
sleeves Of the same material as the
dress. The flowing sash confines
the fullness at the waist line.
In the upper left hand corner we
have a typical modern 1910 frock.
This is fashioned OF stir MORE,
which requires no hoops. The
bodice is q surplice effect with
tight sleeves Joined 70 a dropping

ming is a band OF sable at the top.
To add an enhVening touch /
have edged the lower part OF the

fully at the top and draped up at
