PACIFIC COAST EARNINGS
 SHOW DECIDED INCREASE

The earnings of the Pacific Coast Company have apparently turned the corner and are beginning to show some substantial increases. says the Railway & Marine News. For Octo. Der the gain in gross was $SS,417, or 6.6 per cent. compared with a year ago. while the increase in net was relatively larger-$42,4S5, or S.6 per cent.
 Pacific Coasts earnings for the four months ended October SOth were S1O9- s55 ahead Of the corresponding period last year and net gained % per cent The progressive improvement in earn. ings in recent months reflects the picking up in business on the Pacific Coast, particularly in lumber and in coal. The company has important coal and lumber holdings as well as railriad and steamship interests. In the prosperity that has come to the shipping companies the Pacific Coast company. which owns all the capital stock of the Pacific Coast Steamship company is sharing to some extent, although the demand for tonnage has. of course, not been so great on the Pacific as on the Atlantic.
 If business improvement continues 1t Is probable directors will consider the resumption of dividends on the common stock early nexy year. al- though 1t is hardly likely that this will be done at the meeting in Jan- uary. Previous to the year ended June SOth last the Pacific Coast Com pany had usually shown fair mar g'n of earnings over dividends, but
 in the last fiscal year surplus after charges and first preferred dividends was equivalent to but 2.21 per cent. on the combined second preferred stock and common stock compared with 4.54 per cent. in the 1914 year

SUES FOR A DIVORCE BUT
 FINDS SHE IS TOO LATE

At Fairbanks, on Nov. 10. 1906. a couple were married and the next day the newspapers published Q notice that Mir. and Mrs. George Armstrong would shortly be at home to their many friends.
 Later Mir and Mrs. Armstrong came to Juneau and took up their residence here. In June, 1912, around about the first of the month, Mir. Armstrong, &C., cording to his wife, disappeared. Lat CT Mrs. Armstrong sued in the local court for divorce, her complaint charging that she had been deserted.
 Today J. G. Held. attorney for Mrs. Armstrong. secured the granting of the dismissal of the case. It appears that Mir. Armstrong after leaving Ju- neau. returned to Fairbanks. He later applied for divorce there and se- cured t. Several days ago he ar rived in Juneau and gave information of what he had done and the case of his former wife was dismissed. Mrs. Armstrong is now in Seattle.

 "The probability Of a withdrawal had been reckoned with by the Brit ish troops for many weeks. Field Mar shal Earl Kitchener had made a care ful personal examination and kept his counsel. but everybody else was not so discreet. and there really was little excuse for the Turks failing to realize what was in the wind. They. Of course. counted on the difficulty and danger Of the operation as likely to deter the attempt.
 The question of what proportion the loss would be had been carefully weighed by the British higher com mand. That the thing could be done without loss entered nobody's mind. The problem was to withdraw several divisions and their equipment. occu. pying front of 10000 yards long and hardly anwhere more than about 800 yards and at some points not fifty yards from the enemys trenches, and embark them from the beaches. which nowhere were beyond gunfre range of the enemy and at many places were actually within rifle range.
 "The Turks occupied the higher ground all around Nearly the whole Suvla area was visible to them, and the main embrakng beach could be overlooked from Snipers' Ridge, i,1O0 yards away.
 During the days preceding the withdrawal the Turks kept up the us- ual daily quantity of shells at the us- ual intervals. and the British guns replied. On Sunday this fire was as usual.
 Sunday night the greatest activity began secretly in the British camps. By o'clock in the morning everybody was off but the parties sent n to search for stragglers, who were talk en or as late as 8 in the morning.

| One reason why so many branches az
housekeeping seem dificult TO the young

sons really knows how to do the work

Take ironing. II seems a tremendously

ledge beforehand that It will not be
satisfactorily done.
Yet ironing, n Il Is done according TO
certain fixed rules that govern its doing,
is not very difficult. And II can be made
| pleasant work.
To begin with there must be a smooth
ironing board or ironing table. covered
properly with some sort Of heavy padding
and then with clean cotton sheet. neatly
tackled. pinned or laced into place. This
cover must always be clean and II must
be stretched so that It is without
wrinkles
Then there must be clean. smooth irons
Many people nowadays find an electric
iron SO much easier to work with than
the other sort, that they regard the slight
extra expense as well worth while In
GUNNER. especially, the electric iron
makes it possible for the ironer to keep
cool
/ Irons should occasionally be washed in
soapy water and then rinsed and
thoroughly dried. II they are sticky

! clean them. Wax and salt both help TO
smooth them, too.
II a too hot iron scorches anything

to the sunshine. This operation. repeated,
perhaps, will remove the scorch.

Then fold the hem up to the neck edge,
and fold crosswise once again. II the

of ironing to be followed. In the night

man working on the scafTolding there?
He Is not thinking about the purpose
Of the building, or its spirit: he is not
joyfully cooperating in a work OF art.
He is thinking about his wages or about
nothing.
THE spirit Of the labor movement is
to bring that man into a real cooper
alton with the architect; to enable him
to be a joyous worker expressing him
self in his work, not a mere cog in a
mechanical process. That is the soul
of the labor movement. Self-control,
self-initiative, self-eXpression, to work
for themselves, not for a master, so that
they can realize their dreams, contribute
their creative personalities TO society,
and SO add to the real efficiency OF life
as opposed to the mechanical efficiency
of our day-that is what the labor move
ment is really about, although there are
very few laborers who are really con-
scious of it."
So spoke the Iabor-leader to me. and
was deeply interested because It was
what I had felt for q long time. The
labor movement is at bottom a spiritual
demand for a larger conscious part in
the constructive activities Of life.
And the saloon is the place where the
laborer begins to be conscious Of his
ultimate aim and his ultimate destiny.
Inc saloon pays the part IN our mOOeTD
civilization that the salon played in the
life of the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries in France. The historical sa-
Ions were gsthering-places Of men and
women who brought together their ideas
and feelings about the need Of social and
political changes. They were centers
from which radiated ideas destined "a
change society from the old aristocraCy
Ito the modern constltutionaIism. OF
course, there were other cooperating
agencies; but the salons were important
elements in the changing and civiIizinc
processes.
And so, in a different way. and for a
different class of people. is the modern
saloon It is the most important social
center of modern life. In il are those
beginnings in feeling and thought which
are needed to change society for the
better. To organize the obscure impulses
