IMPORTANCE OF ALASKA
lNew York Globc)

The importance of the eay.y conn D.etfon of the government rai.roud in Alaska in helping the United S.ateS meet the burdens of war is set forth in a statement issued by tho Score -arv of the Interior, says the Railway Are Gazette. The railroad, # s point ad ont will hasten the development oi Aasla's vast resources; wiN cncour- are the production of foodst'tis, thus raducfnr the Territory's dependence rror the United States for supplies; will furnish coal in unlimited guanal- tv for the navy, obviating Che ne''s- sftv for the transcontinental shipping t6 the Pacific of fuel for government vessels. and thus release thousands of cars for the transportation of war materials and foodstufTs.
 The main line of the road ir now rnder construction from Seward on the Pacific coast, inland for 47O miles to Fairbanks. on the Panama river a large and navigable tributary of the yul,on. There is now in operation l20 miles. -.
 The road taps two large coal fields the lIatanuska and Nenana, The coal in the Matanuska field has beer tested by the navy and found to Oe excellent for steaming purposes. The Acoana coal was recently tested by the Bu- reau of Mines and found to be a fair o.ade of Hcuite. It is estimated that the supply in both of these fields Is pl.acticallv mexhaustible.

WAR HAS NOT MADE SWEDEN ANY TOO
 RICH SAYS REPORT

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 26.-H. Tryg- ger, leader of the Conservative par ty, declared that Sweden has not grown more wealthy because of the war. People frequently argue" he said, "that Sweden has become much wealthier as consequence of the war and that therefore we need not feel uneasy regarding the future. Such wealth, however, is only fictitious. While it is true that the nations wealth abroad has increased immen- sely, domestic supplies have diminish ed correspondingly. The land, prop erty and forests of Sweden have an enhanced value, but the produce of the land has been reduced, and prop

REMAIN IN SEWARD

Few citizens of Seward are going outside for the winter and those who are making a trip to the states are doing so on strictly business or paying a visit after many years in the north.
 And why should people leave Sew ard?
 Pay is as good here as it is on the outside taking everything into consid- eration. There is plenty of work fol those who care to toll and those who do not care to work can live as cheap ly here as any other place and besides save the fare money both ways.
 One hears so often men discussing the big wages in Seattle. For in- stance one man the other day stated that he would receive S6 to S7 a day in Seattle at shipyard plant. True, he can. but did he ever stop to con- sider that those big wage positions do not last week in and week out, month in and month out and the year through. Take the constructiO of a large steamer or freighter-there is so much work Co be done by different classes of worlmen; when that work is done they must wait until another steamer is completed to the point where their services are required. This means a lay-ofT for weeks and perhaps months although they did re- ceiye S6 or ST a day while the work lasted. But with the lay-of the eN- pcuscs of living go right on and on. Wages are not so high in Seattle from the laborng mans standpoint. Re- centlv the federal commission at Seat tie. adjusting the ship yards strike, admitted that living had advanced nearly % per cent. When the new wage scale was presented and signed, the men began fguring-the increase in wages were from 10 to 80 per cent. There was a remonstrauce but the wage scale had been signed. Labor CTS in Seattle around the ship yards average SS.25 a day. These figures per diem are not taken at random but from those published in the Seattle papers. Outside of the ship yards there seems to be very little extra work in Seattle. Building is slow and there are no city improvements being made.
 Better think jt over before going to Seattle or any other city in the states and with a pencil and paper, do a little figuring on your own account then remain in Seward and be ahead of the game. Many left on the Alas ka Sunday but four-ffths of the pas senrers were from Anchorage and the other interior places or from the westward.

wOAIAN'S WORK

During the war women will do more and more Of the work man once thot he alone could and should do. And It is fortunate.
 But from some lines of human en- deavor we wish to exclude women and girls.
 Among them is shining mems shoes
 The other day a Boston man open ed a "Cirl bootblack parlOr' He em- ployed young and good-looSing girls to take the places of negro and Greek men and boys.
 The Mayor of Boston ordered the place closed and threatened to revoke the license of any shoe-shining estab- Hshment where girls or women were employed.
The Seward gateway and the Alaska evening post., 1917-11-26

"I cannot imagine he said, "any occupation more humiliating to wo- men than cleaning mems shoes. The man who would allow a woman to shine his shoes is, in my opinion, ut ,erly unworthy of being called a man"
 Women cannot help man by shining his shoes, and no decent man would ask her to. Let the men shine thcH own shoes: the exercise will be good for them.
