HAULING PILES FOR THE
 DOCK FROM McPHERSON'S
Old Filing So Rotten That Piles Fall
 When Stays Are Removed.

The Engineering Commission is now moving piles from the McPher- son ranch where they were recently cut and they will be used for the rail road approach to the dock. The ap- proach is now in so dangerous 8 con- dition that big chances would be taken to send the engine out again without making some repairs. The old piles have been so eaten by toredos that when the stays were removed the other day the piles toppled right over. The local piles will be used only for temporary work and the piles for the permanent work will be brought from outside.

Seward To Observe
 Nations Baby Week
Some Observance This Week But Real Time Will be in
 August.

At a meeting of the. Seward Wom- ans Club yesterday it was decided to observe Baby Week in a small way here in this city and part of the Ob- sryance is expected to be a display of articles suggesting babies or their delights in the windows of the local merchants. It is planned by the ladies to have Stewards real Baby Week in August in connection with the Civic Fair which is projected. The Babies Week in the States is from March 1 to March II and for that reason there is very little timo to prepare for it here for that period which is now half over. In the mean time anyone who has a picture of any baby in Alaska is requested to send it to the Alaska Pharmacy where it is hoped to exhibit such photographs,
 The following letter from Mrs. Percy V. Pennybacker, president of the general federation of Women's Clubs, explains the objects of Baby Week:
 The General Federation, of Wom- ems Clubs has set aside the period be- ginning March 4th and ending March 11th, 1916 to be called a nationwide Baby Week" During this time they will appeal to every club to arouse the entire community to a practical study of the best means of preserving and developing child life.
 The government at Washington is the directing force of the movement for a nation wide campaign by which
 the attention of the U. S. is to be centered for seven days upon the well fare of the baby and his importance to the community. In every part of the country scores of events of all kinds will be held with the one idea that appeals to all: that men and women shall be awakened to the needs and the greater care of the baby. It is safe to say that hundreds of thou sands of women will take part in the various means that will be adopted throughout this notable week to do something that will draw attention to a subject that lies so close to every woman's heart and interest.
 Is such a week needed? Yes; de- cidedly so. New Zealand shows an infant mortality of only fifty-One out of one thousanda children under one year of age but in our country the rate of our cities varies from seventy to two hundred and fifty per thou sand. Nor are our rural sections free from the enormous and uneces- sarily high rate. A we'll informed speaker in one of the most highly de- veloped of the northern States, af- firmed at a recent State convention that in the country forty-fOur per cent of the little babies passed away each year.
 We may divide the main purposes of the plans for this week into two groups:
 1. The teaching of mothers and fathers fundamental facts with re- gard to the care of babies. First among these is the fact that breast milk is the greatest safe guard against sickness.
 9. The bringing home to the community a knowledge of the facts regarding the needless passing away of its babies and realization of the way in which it must protect them.

Gen. ]. G. R. Foster of st. Au-
gustine, adjutant general of Florida,
made statement while in Jackson
vile last week as follows: "My feel
ing is that every one who is demo
|crat, and particularly every one who
as Office holder, has received the en-
dorsement of the party in. the past
should rally to the support of the
party nominee. There is no issue now
between individuals within the party,
and therefore there is no room for
differences of opinion among demo-
Gratis. The party standard bearers
have been selected, and the question
that was in dispute has been settled
by the highest tribunal in the state
and ratified by the party organization
No consistent democrat can hesitate
as to where his obligation lies, and
do not think they will. Gainesville
Sun.
Gen. Foster is brave man and
should be a shining example to the
other state officials who haven't the
spunk to come out and work for the
nominee.

Cats is trying to win by hook or
crook. He reaches out not only for
prohibition and socialist votes but for
the republicans and even the negroes.
The Orlando Reporter-Star says:
@The republican candidate for COVER
nor has given out an interview stating
that he or Cats would be elected gov
ernor of Florida-that Knott was out
of it. Until this statement came from
the lips Of George w. Allen, the
Reporter-Star was inclined to respect
him. But this makes it apparent that
the republicans and Cats have with
out regard for decency joined hands
for the purpose of defeating the dem
ocratic nominee. The trade is under.
stood to be that republicans will vote
for Cats if Cats supporters vote fol-
republican presidential electors"

where she was most highly esteemed

among the most valiant of our brave,
gallant Southern soldiers during the
war between the states, were her
father, brothers and other members

She possessed all the vivacity and
brightness of a true daughter of our
fair Southland and with this was
united nature of unusual depth and
Isensibility. To her belong many per-
sonal charms, and beauty of mind.
The sweetness of her disposition was
unexcelled and no character could
iciaim more noble qualities than hers
From the fields of her soul frag-

meekness, hope, forgiveness and pa
tience." Her heart overfiowed with

When President Wilson appointed
Baker secretary of war, the Star crit
icised the choice, as that of putting a
politician in a place to be filled by a
soldier. Mr.. Baker, however, hasn't
the sense and decency of an ordinary
politician. In a speech in Chicago
Oct. Is, he compared the soldiers of
the American revolution to the Mexi-
can bandits of today. Among other
things he said: "Washington's sol
diers in the march to Valley Forge
stole everything they could lay their
hands ON. They stole the silver yes
sells from the churches and melted
