The Faust lecend.

For 1,400> years the Faust legend
the sale OF a human soul to devil
has existed. The first recorded hint OF
its vitality is given in the sixth cen
tury story Of ''Theophilus. That story
suited the early Christians in their ef-
forts to stamp out the necromancing
devices of eyilly disposed persons prone
to seek power by unholy means. The
association Of the name Of Faust, how
ever, with the legend is not more than
400 years o!d. The hkeliest prototype
Of the modern Faust is the man Of the
same name who in Cracow boldly pro-
claimed himself professor Of magic.
In the sixteenth century stories Helen
Of Troy was bestowed by Mephisto-
pheles upon Faust, and not until the
middle Of the eighteenth century does
there appear a shadowy Margaret in
the form of a. beautiful but poor girl y
who afterward develops into the Mar
garet Of Goethe.

Southern Railway New
Trade Mark.

The Southern Railway Company has
adopted a new and attractive trade
marx as shown above. The design 'SR"
is symbolical to the name of the road
and the wording The Southern Serves
the South" is suggestive of the many
lines operated BY the Southern Rail-
way throughout all of the states south
of the Ohio and Potomac and east OF
the Mississippi rivers.
There is hardly city or town OF i'm
portarce throughout the entire south
that is not connected with the balance
of the south. either directly by the
Southern Railways own trains or by
sleeping car lines over other roads in
connection with Southern Railway. via
some adjacent junction point. Oa this
account the title The Southern Serves
the South" was adopted as being ap
propriate.
Southern hallway spends about $780,
o00. 900 a year in advertising and a
great deal OF this advertising is done in
the Northern, Eastern and Western
sections of the country SO as 70 attract
peopla into ,he Sou'h. and on all oi
this advertising matter this trade mark
will appear hereafter.

The daily Nome industrial worker., 1916-08-28

The Ram arrived up from the l Koyuk yesterday morning about five l o'clock and on board were Hans M, and Mrs. Hanson, Geo Leonard, Pete Olsen, Billy Olsen, Jens Blair, Mrs. Gunderson. MT. and Mrs. Hansen are going outside. They report that the benches are favorable indications that good dirt may be developed in the new pay streak.
 Billy Ewing has had a very nar- row escape on the Glacier dredge, the sleeve of his coat catching in the bull wheel Friday night. The coat was torn from his back and that it did tear is probably all that saved him from a terrible death. Ewing helped to build the dredge and is now engaged as dredge- | master.
 Jens Madsen, according to return ing Koyukers, will arrive in Nome just as soon as he gets his dump sluiced up. Some were bit doubt full about getting the dump cleaned up before the freeze up, because they said it was freezing heavily nights in the Dime creek country before they left. He had finished ground sluicing and was then ready to shovel in.
 Whether it is because of the many leaving or intending to leave, real estate men say that they never had less demand for cabins and houses. But at the same time they state that there never was a season when there were so few had proper ty listed for sale, indicating that they intended to remain in the coun- try.
 w. Code has secured for the Dream Theater the Alaska rights of what is described as the greatest film ever screened. It is entitled Civilization and is as powerful an ale gory as the Birth of a Nation, being produced by the same people as the latter picture. The cast includes numberless stars and a huge aggre gation of over fourteen thousand persons. So gigantic is the scale on which this film is produced that to make one short scene in the play, a town of eight blocks is destroyed by bombs from flying machines right before the eyes of the audience. Battleships sinking submarines are just an incident in the great twelve reel production. It is probably fair to say that this is the very latest thing in the moving picture art.
