Suggesting that the clipping is a propos now that the politicians are getting busy, correspondent sends the following from the Argonaut:
 Once at the close of the sittings of the House of Representatives, Illinois, the clerk read the following "I am requested to announce that the Rev Dr. M'Farland will deliver a lecture this evening in the hall on the Education of Idiots. Members of the Legislature are invited to attend". Of course the Workers correspondent did not mean any thing personal as far as the Alaskan candidates are concerned.

 Tonight the Dream will present "The House of Fear part Gold Rooster Feature. This drama, late from the Pathe studios, has a deep mystery to solve, and should make a favorable impression here. Sunday night Charles Chaplin greatest comedy GA Night at the Show" will be the big attraction. It is a scream from start to finish, and it also shows Charles in dress-suit for the first time. Besides this a Pathe News and society drama will be on Sundays bill.
 Last evening Chas Reed pulled off a pyrotechnical stunt that would make the fireworks of the war front look like thirty cents. The occasion of the fireworks was a great ther- mite weld which about 43O yester- day afternoon he effected upon the tumbler of the- Middaugh dredge. The welding process is one that is now very frequently used. Thermite powder is ignited by an ignition powder from an aluminium salt, and this fiuXes he entire mixture which flows into d mold carefully prepared for it's reception over the break in the piece of machinery to be welded. The machinery is first heated to a glowing white heat by means of a gasoline torch, and with this the tumbler shaft was made ready for the reception of the molten metal. The metal in the form of thermite powder stood over the holes in the mold around the machinery and when all was ready, Reed himself personally placed the ignition powd- CTS in the inverted cones which con tained the thermit. Instantly when he toched off this powder he insert ed a cap on each cone, there were two of them, and the air became white with a luster of sparks and glowing metal as he tapped the cone below letting the molten metal at an intense and glistening white heat pour into the mold prepared for it. The metal fills the mold around the machinery and almost before it has lost it's glow the weld is finished. Thermite powder and it's peculiar method of ignition has been made free use of in the war, the German airmen first using it in their raids to cause the destruction by fire of buildings in the enemy country. Ger tainly any one who witnesses the intense heat developed in the twink ling of an eye will have little doubt of it's efficiency. The weld on the Middaugh dredge tumbler was com plete success, and in day or so the machine will be again running.

Granite ware at Crooks, next Fire Department.

William Maloney, the Inspector of Mines arrived at St. Michaels yesterday on the Sarah, after mak- ing an inspection of all the interior camps in his usual thorough going fashion. His position is no sinecure as he attends to it, and in conse- quence every camp receives his per sonal and careful attention.
 The Coast Guard Cutter Bear brought word Thursday to Nome that Frank O'Connor was severely injured while getting aboard the Senator and as a result of fall was confined to his bed in St. Michaels. This report circulated upon the street was augmented to the effect that he had broken a leg. It was in this form that it reached the Worker office, but as there was no means of securing confirmation by the unprivileged, the rumor was dis carded as foundationless.

 Apparently Grigsby is to feel the effects of the democratic schism. Here is another political dispatch received by the Worker yesterday and signed by one J. c. Dieringer:
 VALDEZ, Sept. 15.-Campaign opened at Valdez. Hon. John H. Cobb, chief counsel for territory, and a candidate for the office of Attorney General at the November election held rousing political meeting at Valdez, Thursday night. He fully explained to the people his efforts in securing judgments against the large cannery and min ing companies which had netted the territory over three hundred thou sand dollars to date and would eventually be placed in territorial treasury over one and half million dollars for application by the next territorial legislature. Judge Cobb was given hearty reception by the people of Valdez and he will receive large vote in the third judicial division of Alaska as an endorse ment for his faithful and efficient work on behalf of the people of the territory. He closed his interesting and eloquent address by. just and glowing tribute to Governor Strong"
 Cobb's candidacy places Strong in peculiar position as far as the regulars are concerned, as he ap- pointed Cobb to the position he holds and insists upon keeping him there notwithstanding his insurg- ency. This has made some of the regulars real mad with the Cover nor.

Our town ought to have cleaning
such as has never been known here
before. The alleys, the lots, the build
ings, the homes, in fact, all parts of
the place should undergo general reno
walton. When it is all over We should
be able to give it the title of ''Spotless

something.

spring housekeeping. Mr.. Hubby

time to Clean Up and Paint Up.
In other communities North, South,
East and West, the Clean Up and
Paint Up period has always been a big
success. For that reason under the
present activity and growth, our town
should be able to show results that
will compare favorably with other
communities. The business men will
show an interest in the movement
and will lend support in any way pos
sible to aid in the cleaning up. They
think the Clean Up and Paint Up
movement is a mighty good one, not
only to advertise, but to make the
town attractive for the visitor.

MExIcANS OFFER WIRES.

Telephone and Telegraph at Service
Of American Expedition.
San Antonio, Texas.-The Mexican
military authorities have offered the
American punitive expedition the use
of Mexican telegraph and telephone
lines, according to General Pershing's
report to General Funston. The offer
was made to the aviators who landed
in Chihuahua last week.
The drivers of the aeroplanes said
they had been treated courteously by
General Gutierrez, commanding Off
GER after it was demonstrated that
they had come as friends. Before
that a few stones had been thrown at
them and a shot or two fired. No
one was injured.
General Pershing said some sup
plies had been purchased in Chihua-
hua but the limited amount made it
almost impossible to get provisions.
The excellent work done by the
aeroplanes has been so marked that
headquarters officials are anxiously
awaiting reinforcement of that arm
of the service. General Pershing's
reports indicate that the five still in
service are doing good work in scout
ing and carrying dispatches.

heavy French losses are reported in
connection with the German advance
south of Haucourt, by which the Ba-
varian and Silesian troops now occu-
py the heights of the so-called Termit-

few hours were increased by a counter
attack on the lost positions which
failed utterly.
The captured positions are more
than 1000 yards in width. They are
on the left bank of the Meuse about
two-thirds of mile southwark of Hau-
court and are a continuation of height
