The Lieutenant Likes Alaska

''These two best years 1 have spent since I entered the service" is the way Lieutenant c. A. Dougherty characterized his Alaska tour of duty to Seattle Post-lntellgencer reporter few weeks ago. He had just re- turned from Valdez and was registered at the Frye hotel. His successor, Captain k, M Nolan passed him at sea, en route to the North, Captain Nolan has been com mander of a troop of the First cavalry sta toned at Fl Paso, Texas, since the border trouble began, and his duty with the signal corps in Alaska will prove a startling Change Lieutenant Dougherty has been relieved of duty with the signal corps and will join the First cavalry. He is not cer- tain whether he will be stationed at San Francisco, Monterey or Calexico, on the bor- der. q would like to be near big city, naturally. after my Northern duty, but the chances are twelve to one that l will be sent to Calexico on active field service, said the lieutenant Service in the North" he continued, 's great for a red-biooded man. 'We had horses and dog teams and were out in the open great deal Of the time. I was in charge of the signal service in the district which comprises Valdez, Cor dova, Seward and Fairbanks, and spent much time travelling between these points

WHAT IS AN AMERICAN
Seattle Post Intelllgencer)

After all what is it to be an American? Surely it does not consist in the number of generations merely which separate the indi- vdual from his forefathers who first settled here Washington was fourth in descent from the first American of his name while Lincoln was in the sixth generation. This difference certainly constitutes no real dis tinction There are people today, not many luckily, whose families have been here for 25O years, and who are as utterly un- American as it is possible to be, while there are others, whose fathers were immigrants who are as intensely American as anyone can desire or imagine.
 Once more. what is 1t to be an American? Is it not to believe i'll America and in the American reople? Is it not to have 9r abiding and moving faith in the future and i'll the destiny of America ? something above and beyond the patriotism and love which every man whose soul is not dead feels for the land of his birth. Is it not to be national and not sectional, independent and not colonial?

Miners Wages Increased

All differences between the men employed at the Kennecott copper mines and the operators have been satisfactorily adjusted The miners demanded an increase i'll wages and settlement was reached by the adop- ton of the bonus system, which gives the men a bonus of 30 cents per day as long as copper IS worth 9 cents per pound or more, bonus of 25 cents per day when copper is selling for from 20 to p cents per pound. ard when the price drops below 20 cents the old Wage scale obta!ns.

! PROSPECTING BOILER
 WHICH WILL BE A WINNER

Ed Uhl of the Pioneer machine shop is working on boiler which gives promise of being a welcome addition to the prospec- tors outfit.
 Heretofore about the llghtest boiler that could be fashioned that would operate two points for thawing purposes weighed from three hundred to four hundred pounds Mir. Uhls plans contemplate the construc ton of boiler capable of this test which will weigh not to exceed 100 pounds. And this he is able to accomplish by the gid of his acetylene welding appliance. The joints of tie various tubes will be welded instead of being fitted as formerly, thus doing away with the necessity for heavy castings which have to be tapped for the tube fittings.
 He expects to have the boiler in running order within short time, and there is likely to be keen demand for them if it turns out to be practicable, as seems assured.
 
 Mrs. Lottie Thornton, Iditarod's energetic business woman, has been at Flat for some days past. Commencing Monday next she will conduct a special sale of ladies' goods there.

Use of Alaska Oil Would Reduce Price
 A Washington dispatch says that the Alaska petroleum interests have asked the federal trade commission for permission to be heard during the commissions lnveStl- gation of the increased price of gasoline. It is understood the Alaska interests will tell the commission of new petroleum tlells ID Alaska containing oil of a high percentage in gasoline In fact, it is claimed tha' in the katala fields alone has been manu- cactured gasoline from oil seepages which contains the highest percentage ill gasoline of any oil yet discovered. The oils al are of the lighter variety, and are conslc cred the most valuable.

Now that Jack Frost had opened the
chestnut :burrs and the hickory husks
the Merry: Little Breezes saw a chance
to help, some of their friends. Ever
since they had been unable to get any
one to play with them they had wished
and wished that they might find some
work to do. Every one else. at least
nearly every one .e1se;;.was so very busy
making ready for winter that the Merry
Little Breezesi were beginning to feel

ONE-pIECE FROCK OF THE SEASON.
BY ANNE R1TTENHousE.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
| NEW YORK. September 27.-Both
France and America were in accord
concerning the exploitation of the one
piece frock5of this season, One coun-'
! try had deficit OF men tailors because
of the war, and the other had a deficit,
of all kinds of garment workers, be-
cause of a prolonged strike. we
must be independent of each condi-'
tion," said the dressmakers of the two
countries, "and give the one-piece frocks
of soft material the preferences over the.
tailored suit" They did, and they are
independents. of soldiers and strikers,
although the strikers have returned to
their normal work. >
1t was also for this reason. that the
French desg gners made satin and crepe
de chine the leading fabrics for frocks
as well as topcoats. because these ma
terials can be manipulated in the
average sewing room. They are inde-
pendent Of the master tailor. The
present situation simply proves that
there is a way to get around every
crisis.

America especially, because they serve
for the manifold gayeties in which our
women indulge during the day We
