NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The most striking feature of the elections held yesterday was the manner in which woman suffrage was turned down in New York, Massachusetts and Penn sylvania. Suffrage was defeated in New York state by majority of more than two hundred thousand, being a ratio of four to three. In Massachu- setts suffrage was voted down by one hundred thousand majority, a ratio of two to one; and in Pennsylvania, the anti-suffragettes won by major ity of one hundred and fifty thou sand, a ratio of three to one. Re- turns show that the large cities were strong against suffrage while the ru- ral communities were in favor of ex- tending the franchise to women.

 The House of Commons was in formed that Great Britain had more than one million men on the western battle front and that desperate fight ing had been waged during the month of October, and that the British troops had captured number of Ger man positions.

RELIEVE INDICTMENTS
 AGAINST WHOLESALERS

The Seward Gateway states that 1t is believed there that number of se- cret indictments returned by the Val deg grand jury were against outside wholesale liquor houses, which have been in the habit of shipping liquor into the territory under false labels.
 It is reported that shipment of soft drinks to Chitina when seized by the deputy marshal was found to have case goods concealed in the barrels in such manner that tapping the bar rels would not'reveal anything wrong The goods were shipped by one of the big wholesale houses in Seattle.

serted that the German losses had been equally as heavy.
 Sir Edward Carson, former Solici- tor General in the late Unionist min istry and who accepted the Attorney Generalship in the coalition govern ment formed after the beginning of hostilities, followed Premier As quith and bitterly denounced the British Cabinet for it's incompetency. He characterized the Dardanelles campaign as fizzle and declared the government should have considered the possibility of failure before be- ginning the campaign. He placed the blame for the failure of the Balkan states to remain neutral upon Brit ish diplomacy and declared that Bull garia was not only willing but anx- ious to join the Allies when Italy en- tered the war.
 Sir Carson's speech was greeted by jeers from many of the members of the cabinet who asked him if he had dined with the Kaiser lately. The al- fusion that Sir Carson had been the guest of Emperor William shortly be- fore the outbreak of the war Is casting doubt on his loyalty to the empire. In reply he denied that he had ever been the guest of the Ger man ruler and asserted that only 8 sense of duty to the nation had caused him to accept the attorney general ship in cabinet which would go down in history noted chiefly for it's incompetence to meet emergencies.

CITIZENS AGREE ID
 PLAN F0R BRIDGE i
Alaska Road Commission will Build Bridge to Span Gastineau Cham
 nel to be Repaid by Tolls.

JUNEAU, Nov. 3.-Col. w. P. Richardson, President of the Alaska Road commission, has agreed to a plan advanced by committee of citi- zens representing Juneau and Doug las which guarantees the construction of bridge connecting Juneau and Douglas early next summer.
 Engineers of the Road commission have estimated that the Gastineau bridge can be built for $75.00O, and the citizens have agreed that tolls should be allowed to be collected un- til the commission had been repaid the money expended in the construc- tion of the bridge, the work to be done by the commission.
 Col. Richardson told the committee that the commission was not empow- cred to use the money appropriated by congress for road building in Alas ka for building bridges such as was required to span Gastineau channel but realizing that Alaskan towns were unable to, sell bonds for inn provement purposes without special permission from congress, the com mission would advance the money as the need of the bridge was urgent lin the district.
 He was rendered a joint reception by the people of the Gastineau chan neu towns before leaving for Wash lington.

A Little Praise for Father

movement is on foot to set apart

There's nothing ever takes the place

but pa is seldom sung-for which re-

there is use for mans sympathy and

Neighbor Jones about your smart
deeds, your wonderful bravery and
powerful intellect and originality. You
nearly wept to hear about your I'M
fiinching courage and glittering wit
you were filled with wonder, love and
praise at yourself.
Sometimes, il is true, after using
up his best razor on the sailcloth and
ropes of your tent. and his silk hat
for your boys parade, you thought
him lacking in a sense OF humor in
his dealings with you later.
But, taking him by and large, he
has done pretty well. That Christmas
you wept for celestial things like air
rifles and double runners, etc, he was
desperately hard pressed to buy the

Castoria, not to mention fiannels and
your shoes. (Heavens how fast they
wore outD Also, he sent the doctor
a check for fixing your broken arm,
from falling over the grocery team.

fearful. disappointed boy. however,
though he felt worse, much worse,
than his boy himself)
Sometimes he seemed awfully mis-
taken-for instance, after your big
scrap with Bill Jones, and you begged
pa 10 go over and kill him, or. at least,
give him a terrible drubbing, that
very night, but he didn't see it that

INTERESTING DOLLS

Last fall some of the Methodist
young people dressed dolls and sent
them to a missionary society in
China to present to Chinese children.
The little Chinese girls adopted a
novel idea of showing their appre-
citation by making up wardrobe for
a doll, using of course, the patterns
and attire of their native land. They
could get no doll there so they sent
the wardrobe to the society at Black
foot with the request that a doll
be purchased here to fit the ward
robe, which has been done.
The missionary society met at Mrs.
l.. r. Archer's Tuesday and after re-
viewing the little Chinese lady they
they decided to pass it around among
the members of the Kings Heralds
here, allowing each one to keep it
a week. It is now in the possession
of Miss Merriam Pearson.
