Many a man has become intoxicated

Adding further to the horrors of war
is the probability that Europe will

Be careful how you breathe. An au-

If Europeans begin forgiving their
enemies now the list is SO full that it
may take them some years to get
them all forgiven.
Divorce isn't the only thing that
ought to be made harder. Making
marriage harder for the immature

Holland is worrying about the safety

AMOK GOLD MINING co.
 DOES WELL THIS SEASON.

F. A. Cornell, superintendent of the Amok Gold Mining Company of Uyak, passed through Seward on Admiral Evans this afternoon on his way to San Francisco, after experiencing a fair season at the mines. He says that the mine never looked better than at the time he left. The mine produced exceptionally high grade ore this summer, and 20 tons of concen- trates were taken out on the Evans. He states the only trouble he had this summer was the fact that the water supply was scarce and also the great lack of help. In fact the mine was short of men the whole season. MT. Cornell will return early next spring with many more men and says that he will have new water supply put Tn the first thing in the spring so that lack of water will not hinder the out put of ore next season. About five of his men went out on the Evans to- day, and the remainder will stay over on Kodiak Island awaiting his re- turn in the spring.

ELECTRIC FRANCHISE
 POSTPONED AGAIN

The proposed electric franchise was postponed for another week by the city council last night. It was made evident by the words of some of the councilmen that they did not yet ur derstand the proposed rates. Evei yesterday afternoon before the meet ing. some of the members of the bodl , who pretended they knew all abolt the terms, went to business people to find out whether the new rates world be higher or lower than the present rates. Judge Morford, for the com paay, said the company had done all in its power, had followed the spg gestions of the council and the coun- cil could now postpone the matter as much at it wanted to. He even de- clated that he acted in the interests or the city just as much as in the inter ests of the company. One would think that ;n all these weeks the real facts might have been ascertained end the council might be able to know something about it one way or the other. That franchise will be grant ed about the Ides of March.
