open the gates, half expecting to find
them locked, but they swung apart
with rusty creak, and his majesty
was instantly swallowed up In shadow.

not hope to discover by laundering

half turned to the window, and facing
him was young Max Lind, in travelling

The steamship Faragut arrived yesterday in Seattle and will leave on the return. trip tomorrow. When the Dora arrived last evening sAc brought the news that her wireless had heard from Kodiak that s. o. $. calls had been received that the Far ragut was sinking. This caused very
 little alarm as it was stated that the sinking" had occurred two or three days ago and most people knew that we should have heard of it before. Capt. Jensen of Watson, just before leaving, stated that he had received the same message but he called it a maverick" message, whatever that might mean. The last time the Dora came she had word through Kodiak that the crown prince of Germany had committed suicide. Go easy, Kodiak.

Sam SoupcotT, the mining engineer who returned from the westward on the Dora last evening, took particular care to inquire into the racts about the Cold Bay strike while he was in that region but nothing definite could be ascertained. The strike is about 40 miles from Cold Bay and the two men who left Seward some time agu for the strike were still at the bay when the Dora arrived going west ward. They were gone when the boat got back and it is supposed that they had hit out for the scene of the find. Mir.

THE REASON FOR THE
 GERMAN FOOD RIOTS

Special to Gateway by United Press)
 ROTTERDAM, April 5. - Favori- tism in the distribution of foOdstuffs is declared on German authority to have had more to do with recent dis orders in the Fatherland than any actual shortage. The accusation is not made alone by radical publications ikeYorwaerts. The Kreuzzeitung, of the military press, discussing the sit uation at Dresden, relates the follow ing:
 Ut appears that the market author ities in that town have for months past been doing thriving trade in cOrnering vegetables and cereals which were intended by the munich  pality to be distributed at a nominal charge among the poor Before long, proof was forthcoming that the names of customs and town hall officials, wholesale business firms and first class boarding houses, were carefully noted in the market authorities books. These favored customers were supplied secretly with all the articles they needed at prices only slightly in excess of those fixed as payable by the poor.
 "The consequence was that on scores of occasions hundreds of poor women, after standing for hours in front of the market stalls, pushing and trampling one another and tear one another's clothes off their backs, in their struggle to obtain the desired food, were sent away either empty handed or given a paltry half pound of peas or beans, while well-paid of fcials or rich merchants were supplied with 20 pounds at time, delivered free at their houses"

The Cook Inlet Pioneer in a recent issue speaks highly of Al Chamberlain and it is certainly right. This is what it said in a recent issue about the Seward councilman:
 "The popularity of Councilman. E. E. Chamberlain is evidenced by the fact that he was reelected in Tues days election at Seward, although not present and voting himself, as he was on the trail enroute to Anchorage. ChamberIain's popularity is merited. He is man without any strings at tached to him; does his best according to his light, and never betrays the confidence of the people. That's why he can't be defeated at election time"

BRITISH WEARING SOUP
 PLATE" STEEL HELMETS

Special to Gateway by United Press)
 LONDON, April 5. - The English troops on the western front are com ing to the steel helmet, as we'll as the French.
 The new headgear had it's first good trial in the recent fighting at tte Bluff" north of the Ypres-COmines canal. It proved a great success. In many cases the helmets were hit and dented by pieces of shrapnel which didn't even wound the men under them In others the wearers suffered nOth- ing worse than the equivalent of a stiff wallop with a club.
 The English vary somewhat from the French helmets. They are of steel, painted gray, something like in- verted bowls in appearance, and far from ornamental. They furnish effici- ent protection, however, for the head and neck. The soldiers call them "soup plates"
 Their service ability has given rise to much unofficial talk concerning the wisdom of clothing the men in breast and back plates for trench fighting and charges.
