The oyster soup should not be too
rich. A number of big plump oysters
must be used, but care should be taken
not to make the first course too heavy,
for the ideal dinner is not what n
would characterize as a light repast.
A good sized bird should be selected
-one between eight and twelsy pounds
and care should be exercised that the
fowl is not more than a year old. Aft
err the turkey Is carefully cleaned stuff
it with a mixture of stale bread, chest
nuts, bay leaves, a dash of cayenne,
some fresh mot cooked celery and a
trace of onion. Inasmuch as oyster
soup is served as the first course of
this dinner it is not deemed eXpedient
to use oyster %stuffing for the turkey.
In cooking the bird care should be
taken that it does lot remain too long
in the oven, for this will render the
meat dry and tasteless. The natural
juices of the fowl are what render it's
flesh so delicious, and supervising
will dry these up. The turkey should
be cooked in a moderately quick oven
until the skin is a beautiful rich brown.
Frequent basting will do much toward
preventing the meat from drying up.
The mashed potatoes, turnips and
creamed onions have been chosen with
an eve to supplying the other food in
gradients necessary to the main course

 The Anchorage Times hears that the government engineering commits sion is to remove its headquarters from Seward to Anchorage on Janu, ary l; that an army post is to be established there; that harbor inn proYements will be followed by the installation of coal bunkers; that big operatorN have applied for Mat auuska coal leases and are to de- Yelop mines next spring. The Times calls for United States land office and judicial division, with headquarters and a court house at Anchorage. We've got the votes and we're a political power" says the Times; let us employ our pow CT to get what rightfully belongs to us."
 Seward, in turn, contends that it has 8 deeU-water harbor, open the year around, and that Anchorage is froned by shallow waters, closed to navigation during a portion of the year, and that the future me tropolis of the Alaska coast will be found at Seward.
 The rival cities should complete their Joint debate during the win ter months, while they have plenty of time, because 1t is going to be a very busy season for both of them beginning with next spring. There will be "somethiug doing" as the Anchorage Times 4emarks, at both places. ~.
 Railway construction is reaching a stage where development of the country will rapidly follow.

SHOPPING SPREES"

Discussion of ;he pressing issue Of food cost, besides inducing some heated protests from tAe public, is bringing out some interesting and helpful information from the sell ing end. There is 3 disposition to blame the middleman for much O the txcess cost of living, but some body must handle the product be- tween producer and consumer, and somebody must be paid for it. That the charge is sometimes large is often the fault Of T public that de- maUds special and expensive service
 Merchants tsu US, for instance, that there is special expense in the convenience of charge accounts, in returned goods privileges, in the delivery system. The public de- mands all this, and the s-rice mus be recompensed. It adds greatly 10 the initial cost of purchases and is often an unnecessary imPost on the real value ot commodities.
 The manager of a New York de Dartmeut store states that many women indulge ia what be calls shopping sprees." For want of something so do, le t-lls us, they set out to explore the stores; something strikes their fancy and, sven though they do not need 1t, thev buy. Afterwards, perhaps, there is 9 change O. heart after the glamor of shopping has worn off, or the husband protests, and the goods are sent back. In this New York store I6 per cent Of the total pur- chsses are returned for one cause or another.
 All such service is part of the maintenance or overhead ex- Eerse oi a store, and it must be mel in the increased price of stock sold 10 the general public. It is one Of the items of expense that must be met to make the business pay its way.
 What might be desirable and ef- IectiYe in reducing family expense bills is to cut off every possible sOrvice that costs money. It ought to be made an incentive to every household to pay cash for his pur- charss. f be pays cash and takes the goods away with him he ought Eo have the benefit Of the expense saved. 1T he wants the goods charg- cd and delivered, and the privilege of return, then it is reasonable that he should pay for the priyilege.t - Seattle ?.

WIRE-DRAG WORK IN ALASKA

Washington-The two wire-drag parties engaged in surveys of AL askan waters have completed their work for the season and have dis banded. Their outfits have been transferred to Seattle to be used for wire-drag surveys on the west coast during the winter.
 After the usual preliminary work these parties began field operations during the latter part of April and continued until about the middle Of October.
 Wire-drag party No, 8, in charge oS John A. Daniels, b gan work in Clarence Strait and carried the wOr systematically up this impo. tant wit erway until all the open water be- tween the limit of the previous sea- sons work and Zarembo Island had been dragged, after which work was begun in the exposed parts of Ern- est Sound. This work was carried to Eaton Point on Cleveland Penin- sula during the season, and the survey of Kashevarof Passage was completed. ChicagOf Pass and part of Stikine Strait was also drag gel.
 The total area examined by the party covers about 325 square miles, and in this area were found over 70 changes from the chartad depths, not a few Of which, cOnsti- ute serious dangers fC navigation. Wire-drag No. 4, in charge of L. o. Colbert, b&Ean work near the east e1n end of Sumner Strait connect ing with the work of the 1915 sea- son. This work was later joined by the work of party No. 3 at the north end of Clarence Strait. Con- siderable work was also done at the southern end of Sumner Strait dur ing the first part of the season. From the eastern end of the strait the work was carried along the channel between Mitkof Island and Zarembo Island to the entrance of Eastern Passage. A junction was effected with the work of party No. 8. in Stikine Strait and at the eastern end of Chicagof Pass. East ern Passage and Blake Channel were dragged and, during the last month of the season, the work was extended through Bradfield Canal and the main channel of Ernest Sound to Point Peters cn the south end of Deer Island.
 4 total area of about 25O square miles was dragged during the sea- son, and about 115 changes from the charted dT@ths were found. The extent to which navigation in this region aas been saseguard,d by the discovery of these shoals can hardly be realized without glance at the chars affected.
 An idea of the extent and variety of the work done by a wire-drag party during a season in Alaska may be obtained from Mir COlbert's statement that his seasons work covers 10 photographic smooth sheets, : topographic sheets, 10 triangulation records, tiday mari grams, and current observation volumes.

PHOTOPLAYS AND
.- PHOTOPLAYERS
Real Trdvelogues To
Be Presented In
Photopldy
Houses.
BY GARDNER MACK.

A development of the motion pic
ture scenic idea so that compre-
hensive series of travel pictures
might be presented rather than the
hit or miss type that has been COM
mon to patrons of photoplay houses,
has been worked out by several of
the producing companies recently.
This type of picture. which Is de-
signed to form a part of the enter
tainment in playhouse showing
diversified program--though having
a strictly educational value, Is.
nevertheless a pleasing relief from a
solid program of picture plays and Is
usually welcomed by an audience.
In the several instances that have
been referred to that this idea has
been worked out, men trained in the
presentation of illustrated lectures
or travelogues, have been engaged
for the purpose of experimenting the
work. They have entered upon their
duties with enthusiasm because the
new idea has given each of them
chance to work out new schemes for
short travelogues that most OF them
have heretofore found impractical.
No more ardent supporter of the
scheme Is to he found than Burton
Holmes, who has signed contract
to look after the work for the Para-
mount Company.
