N. p. BOOSTING
 ALASKA, GIVING
 MANY LECTURES
Scenic and Industrial Advantages Given in
 Principal Cities
 of the Country

Alaska's scenic and industrial ad- vantages are the subject that is now being presented throughout the Unit ed States in strenuous campaign inaugurated by the Northern Pacific Railway Prof Charles Norton Hunt, lecturer for that railroad, has for some months conducted addresses in every important city of the country, simplifying his descriptions of the wonderful northern possession with stereoptican slides.
 Through the Northern Pacific's oth- CT departments. also. exploitation of Alaska is being carried on to q marked degree. This work, it is pre- dicted, will mean greater volume of travel to the land of the Mid night Sun" during the next few years than ever before. That Alaska is already proving a drawing card for prospective travellers is indicated by the numerous inquiries that road is already receiving from prospective tourists.
 The campaign being waged is ex- pected not only to attract tourists, but also to give decided impetus to Alaska's importance as country in which profitable investments can be made.

 Wateroo's Armies
 One other point in this matter of size should be considered The bat tie of Waterloo was decisive of the Napoleonic struggles and the battle of Gettysburg of the American Civil War. At Waterloo there were not far from 10000 men on each side i; at Gettysburg about the same mum Der. In comparison with the vast aggregate of troops engaged in Eur ope at present these figures seem small; but in comparison with many have ever been fought the numbers are large.
 If one examines the figures given in the new Encyclopedia Britannica of the numbers engaged in the fiji teen battles commonly considered "the fifteen decisive battles of the world" one finds that only two or three were fought by greater mum bers than at Waterloo or Gettys burg, and several much smaller. At Hastings, William the Conqueror had perhaps 50,000 men; at Marathon where European civilization was say ed, the Greeks had but 10000. and at Saratoga. where the decisive bat tie of the Revolution was fought, each side had but 10000.
 The Roman armies which conquer ed the ancient world were not large, and the armies with which England won India could be placed in the present Europeon fighting lines with out ones knowing the difference.

South Had One Man Out of Five of the White Population in Fight
 to North's Seven. PROPORTION FALLS LOW If the War Lasts Another Fourteen Months Then
 Different Figures
 Will Be Shown.

WASHINGTON, April 27. (By mail Ut seems to be generally ac- cepted that the present war is alto gether the greatest in history, and so it is in one sense, for undouDted- ly there are more men under arms than ever before. But mere numbers or mere size are not themselves of supreme importance. A man is not of greater prominence because he weighs 2S0 pounds instead of 150.
 The present war is by no means the greatest in history, proportion ately; that is to say, no one of the nations engaged in the present war is throwing into the fighting line as many men, in proportion to it's popu- lation, as has been the case several times in the past. The real test is the effort nation makes. and on l certain number of occasions in the past those efforts have been greater than those of the present.
 More Men in Rebellion
 The greatest effort that the civil ed world has ever seen was made on American soil. No nation, neither France nor Germany, and still less any other of the European nations, is throwing today into the firing line such large proportion of it's population as did the North in the American Civil War and as did the South. as the figures in the new En- cyclopedia Britannica show.
 Undoubtedly the greatest effort made by any people was that of our own South When the Civil War broke out she had a population of g. 100000. but of these 9,000,000 not less than 3,500,000 were negro slaves who could not fight. In the course of the war. during period of three years and nine months, she placed on the firing line total of slightly more than 100000 men.
 This was one in nine of her total people, but if the colored are ex- cluded, because they were not al lowed to fight, she put slightly more than 1,O00,OOO men out of total of 5.50O0OO population. In other words, about one in five of her white population, men, women and children, entered the ranks and fought.
 The record of the South is with out parallel in civilized warfare. What makes it the more astonishing is that the south being entirely agri- cultural was not prepared, and that the Northern blockade stopped the incoming of supplies of every kind. was a constant and serious handi cap.
 The population of the North in 1860 was 21,0O0,00O In the course of the war she put into the field 3,000,00O men, This was one in sev- en of the total population. number considerably greater than any of the European nations has yet thrown in to the firing line.
 The European war has now lasted two years and seven months. If the war lasts another fourteen months (by which time the duration of the European war will equal the Civil War). large number of additional men will be called upon to do their bit as the English say; but it is improbable that it will bring the fi- gures to one in seven.
 In order to reach the figures of one in seven, Germany must place in the fighting line between s,O00,- 900 and 10.00O.000 men; France. ap-

COSTS $3.50 A YEAR TO LIVE

In the various disputes now mend

The New York bureau of personal
service has investigated the cost of
living in the metropolis and finds
mat $3.50 a year is the minimum
amount upon which workman

lcan ideas, at present market prices.

allows S14 a month for rent. $9.47 a

they are most comfortable, which is
also a great consideration. This
style of dress may be carried out in
flannel for cooler weather Plain
shocking and the shocking with
stitching worked over it are both
used to great extent For very tiny
little girls the white dotted swiss
frocks with colored shocking, pink
or blue, are exceedingly dainty. In
fact, shocking is used for all ages.
The Bingham rock in the illustra-
ton, made with its straight pleated
skirt. and ovcrblouse tied at the side,
shows the kind of dress that is prac.
tical for school. The skirt is at
tached to the underbody, so there is
no danger of skirt and waist coming
apart The collar and cuffs are of
plain Bingham. The many pretty
plaid woolens and checks which are
to be worn for fall would also be ex-
cellent for developing frocks on this
order. The contrast of plain collar
and cuffs in heavy linen or flannel
is most effective.

the use of simple embroideries in

GATELEY WAS NOT
 U. s. PENSIONER

Coroner Smith this week received a letter from Commissioner Saltzga- Der, of the Bureau of Pensions, Wash ington D. C., in response to an in- quiry about William Gateley, who was found dead in the Old Trails bar a month or more ago. Gateley was supposed to have been a soldier and acting on this information an inquiry was directed as above.
 The commissioner gives the inform ation that William Gateley was an ap- plicant for a pension under No. l. 211, TOT, on account of service in com pany M 2nd Texas Infantry, war with Spain, but his claim was rejected May 2, 1900, since which time the bureau had no information of his where abouts. His address at that time was Willis, Texas and under that date of April Fist, 1899, he stated that he was a single man.
 Gateley is supposed to have rela- tives in or about Boston, but so far no information has been obtained from that section of the country.
