YEE'S CHECKING
SYSTEM PROVES
AID IN COURT

Yee Wo didn't wear an ice cream
suit and a pink silk shirt nor did
he speak English as did his oppO-
nent in a suit before Justice Lemkie.
Monday morning. for the alleged
value of a large-siEed package OF
laundry. but his willy methods of
keeping tab on his business enabled
him TO successfully defend an sc-
ton brought against him for the
value OF a laundry parcel.
Chinese hieroglyphics on yellow
slip OF paper turned the trick. Yee
said tha, he wrote down the con
terts OF each OF his laundry pack
ages on these slips. and then tore
them in two. When they fitted he
turned the parcel over 10 the owner,
who presented one-half as a receipt.
Joseph Plawner, barber in the
Lyceum theater building. brought
suit tor SIS for six wooden union
suits, TWO pairs OF B. V. D.s. and a
dozen handkerchiefs. He claimed
the union suits cost So apiece
Yee's tabulation OF Plavners
package differed materially He
said that all its contained was two
union suits. one pair OF pajamas
and six handkerchiefs. and that the
laundry amounted 10 81 cents. which
was duly paid by PlaNner. who took
the package.
Justice Lemkie carefully inspect
ed the torn receipts and decided
that Plawner had no cause for ac-
ton.

STEEL INDUSTRY OF THE COUNTRY BOUND
 TO REVoLUTloNlZE

NEW YORK, July :. - A steel manufacturer of international repu- tation was asked recently by the president of a New oYrk bank how peace in Europe would affect the steel business in the United States. The steel man replied that he could not answer that question in a few words. He took some time for his answer and wrote 1t out. It is now in the bankers bands and covers many typewritten pages The gist of the answer was that the steel indus try will witness an evolution after the war stops, but that the effect, as whole, will be very beneficial. The steel companies which turn out diversified products will not sXper- fence many difficulties, according to the report They will find ap in creased demand for some products and a very poor market for others.

ANCHORAGE WILL
 BE ON MAIN LINE
 OF ALASKA ROAD
William c, Edes, Chairman of the Government Commission, Says that New Route Has Been
 Selected for Railroad.

Abandonment of the proposed di. rect connection between the old Al. aska Northern Railroad and the main line and the selection in it's stead of the new route through Anchorage is the latest development in Alaska railroa work, according to William C. Edes, chairman of the Alaska En- gineering Commission, who arrived in Seattle from Washington, D. C. last night, says the Seattle Times of July 1st. The new route will place Anchorage on the main line of the road instead Of on branch as for merly and will guarantee the devel- opment of that port as Northern metropolis.
 Original plans for development around Anchorage" said Mr. Edes, "called for construction of the road north from Anchorage to Fairbanks with the Matanuska coal field branch and then for connecting the Alaska Northern with the main line at a point some distance north of the town. This virtually would place An chorage on branch of the trunk line from Seward to Fairbanks.
 "The new plau calls for the con struction of a forty-fiye.mile strip di. rect from Mile 75 to Anchorage and connection with the road north of that city. The new development plan Twill cause all end.to-end travel on lthe road to pass through Anchorage land will greatly increase the import ance of that city"
 The new forty.fiye.mile stretch, Mir. Edes explained must be built through rock and will require nearly a year and half to complete Work during part of the winter, however, he said, will be possible on this connecting link and it may be completed sooner.
 Besides construction on the forty five mile connection" said Edes at the Frye Hotel, "the chief work on the road during 1916 will be north from Anchorage into the Matanuska coal fields on the main line, and re- pairing the old Alaska Northern which, while in fair condition, in' cludes a number of bridges unfitted to withstand heavy traffic. At the northern end of the road Commission CT Riggs will conduct work between Fairbanks and the Nenana coal fields"

soft steels. All the workshops and important buildings in Europe will be constructed and steel will be the dominant material for the construc- ton.
 The first chapter in the steel mans answer was based. on the as sumption that the Germans, if de. feated would not destroy in retreat ing the French and Belgian factor ies and steel mills now in their pos session Also, that the English French and Russians, if successful in invading Germany, would not de- stroy the German steel mills. As suming that the factories of one or more nations were destroyed, the steel man reported, the demand for steel in this country would be enor nous In this instance it was cited that pig iron. after the Franco-Prus- sian war, doubled in price in Eng land and that furnace coke trebled in value. Another chapter was de- voted to the needs of the American railways. The steel man used the estimate of James J. Hill that the railways of this country ought to spend $5.OOO. 100000 to get abreast of the rising transportatiop require ments for the country's business. Eventually the tide would turn in favor of railroad improvements, the expert predicted, and this would mean an addition stimulus in the steel industry.
 stln another chapter was devoted to the probable labor problems after the war. The view was advanced that there would be so many vacan. cies in the mills of Europe when the war ended, and so many blind men, cripples and mentally incapacitated men to fill the places of the origin. al worlkingmen, that efficiency in the foreign mills would be far below normal. The steel man further con tended that the high taxes, high wages, and high prices in Europe after the war would render the man. ufacture of steel at cheap rates i'm possible so that the United States would not have to fear the compe- tition of European manufacture.
