Steward Gatewav)

The safest and sanest" proposal that has ever been for Seward with the exception Of the gov ernment railroad is the establishment of shelter.
 A shelter Is needed the coast Of Alaska Be- fore many years there will be smelters in several places on the Alaska coast For something like fif- teen years well the memory can go back, there has been talk of shelter but the task or developing words into concrete action has not been at' tempted until just now.
 When one speaks of quarter Of a million dol lars 1t looks rather big. and it would be quite sum Of money to most Of us individually perhaps but by a few thousand people together that quarter or Q million could soon be accumulated. has been pointed out
 There is every reason why the government Of the United States should aid in the establishment of this shelter. The government railroad could have no better customer than the who ships ore from the interior to a shelter on the coast and the vast in- teriOr country has billions and billions Of tons of ore that have lain there for ages and will lie there for ages and ages to unless there is some way pro- yded for operating it.
 Perhaps the people who are bullying the rail. road do not really know just what sort of mineral and its minerals it is necessary 10 dig around its trails it's road houses and It's little remote settle ments. You must have sat around the old stoves in the rOadhOuses and listened O the talk of quartz and watched the countless prospectors showing their spec imens" to get an idea, and you have done this years get the real idea Of the vastness of the mineralized belts Of the Territory t is fine to hear newcomers arrive and talk of the great mineral barely touched the hem Of the garment of Alaska lt is fine to listen their enthusiastic speeches and that they have been impressed by their visits coast places but it is much finer to contemplate the fact that enthusiastic as they are they yet have real conception of the mmensity of the territory that carries mineral in almost creek and hill.
 The day will come when Aaskans will read with wonder Of the fact that there a time when it was necessary even hold a meeting for the purpose Of establishing shelter.

WOMEN! HERE IS
A MONEY SAVER
Use gasoline to dry clean FAM
ilys clothes and
save SIS @

Dry cleaning at home is just as
simple as laundering. Any woman can
clean five dollars worth in fifteen
minutes at little cost by getting from
the drug store two ounces of solvite
and put this in two gallons of gasoline,
where 1t quickly dissolves. Then i'm
merse articles to be cleaned; rub a
little and in a few moments the gaso-
line evaporates and the articles look
bright and fresh as new.
You can dry clean silk waists.
dresses, coats, ribbons, kid gloves,
satin shoes, evening slippers. shawls,
belts, yokes, furs, boas, muffs, neck
ties, lawns, dimity and chiffon dresses,
draperies, fine laces, lace curtains.
woolen garments, in fact, any and
everything that would be ruined by
soap and water as dry cleaning doesn't
fade, shrink or wrinkle, making press
ing unnecessary.
Your grocer or any garage will sup
ply the gasoline and you can obtain
two ounces of solvite at the drug
store, which is simply gasoline soap.
Then wash boiler or large dishpan
completes your dry cleaning outfit
