LARGE FOUNDRY IS
 BEING CONSTRUCTED
 ON DOUGLAS ISLAND

TREADWELL, Sept. S.--What is the matter with Treadwell? She's all right
 The scintilating rays from the sun of prosperity are again penetrating business channels on the Island where for the past several months gloom has held sway and the dark clouds of diversity have lowered like wet horse blankets. Treadwell is coming back and coming strong.
 Workmen are now erecting an ad- dition to the already capacious foun- dry building for tho purpose of prac- tically doubling the capacity of the foundry. The new addition is 50 by 100 feet in dimensions and will con tain all kinds of machinery required 70 operate a foundry, and the equip ment will be of the very latest mod els. An electric furnace has been ordered and is expected to arrive in time to be installed sometime next month, the furnace alone costing from $4O,00O to $50.000.
 All of which is proof positive that Treadwell is not dead-not even sleeping, but is very much alive and preparing for great things in the flu ture.
 Of course, it is generally realized that the present is a trying period with low-grade, mining industries and conditions will not probably improve during the life of the. European war, but it is also realized that the war cannot continue many more years or many more months-and when it is over, it is confidentially believed that Douglas Island. through the 'Treadwell mining industries, will again resume her former position as one of the leading gold producing localities of America.

LABOR VERY SCARCE

DOUGLAS, Sept. 8.-More men are sadly needed to handle the fish being purchased by the Alaska Coast Fish company of this place. Offers of 50 cents per hour fail to keep the force up to the requirements and the result is that few are working almost day and night. One man completed 48 hours straight this morning and is still on the job. Several men with steady work else where are volunteering a few hours each day with the fish company in order to keep the industry going by saving the fish that come in. Two boat loads were in this morning, one of halibut, the other of salmon. All carg0es have thus far been cared for and, even with the scarcity of la bor. every effort will be made to keep the business going and care for all the fish brought in, but la bor is badly needed and the pay fs certain.

TREADWELL PLANS
 ENTERTAINMENT IN
 CHUNKS FOR SEASON

TREADWELL, Sept. S.-Steps are being taken for rcjuvenating the Treadwell Club as a means for driv- ing away dull care during the com ing winter when time is wont to drag heavily and when. in the morning people are disposed to say, "Oh that it were evening"" and in the evening to say, "Oh, that it were morning"
 The plan is to arrange with the new manager of tho Lyric Theatre l.. s. Ferris, for free shows on two Saturday nights of each month for the benefit of club members and their families and for free shows two Friday nights of each month as compliments to the firemen, mak. ing four free shows each month While the word free" may not ex- small that it is practically the same thing. It is proposed to tax each club member 50 cents per month for show privileges for themselves and families as above specified AS it is at present and has been since the discontinuance of the picture shows here last spring, a man taking his wife and say, two children to a show has to pay 70 cents each time and if his olive branches are more nu- merous, the cost is .correspondingly higher, making picture shows prac- tically prohibitive for the families of working men.
 Manager Bradley does not appre- hend that any difficulty will be pre- sented in the matter of arranging for these four fnortthly, entertain. ments on a basis that all can afford and the men will be conferred with at an early date and it is expected that all arrangements will be made in time to start the winter pro- gram next month.

 A short address by Prof. C. w.

The teachers, all but two of whom are new to Doug las, were much pleased with the evenings doings.

.DELG|ANs CONSIDERING
REHABILITATION WORK
Confident That Allied Drive VIII
Break Through German Lines
in Their Country.
TREMENDOUS PROBLEM AHEAD
Further Credits Will Be Asked Of
United States, and War Industries
Board Will Be Called Upon to
Place Contracts.

WASHINGTON. August 1.-THE
Belgians are so confident that the al
lied drive will break through the Ger
man lines In Belgium that plans al
ready are under way for getting rails
and other material for rebuilding the
railroads of the devastated country.
Further credits from the United States
VIII be sought. and the War Industries
Board Will be called upon to place con-
tracts. 1t was learned to-day that the
plans OF rehabilitation already are be-
ing considered by officials here Con-
ferences have been held with Baron
Ludovic Moncheur. head of the spe-
cial Belgian mission who has out
lined in tentative way what the i'm
mediate needs OF his country are. to
be. 1t is impossible at this time to
form any good estimate OF what Bel
GUMS needs will be. but Baron Mon
cheur to-day said that for every mile
the Germans were driven back, a mile
of rails would have to be construct
ed.
AS the Germans retire, Baron Mon
cheur said. they are tearing up and
destroying every vestige of railroads.
and even cutting and seeking to make
impossible the roads for vehicular
traffc. These roads must be recon-
structed as the allies advance. and 1t
is to this task that Baron Moncheur
and his colleagues are devoting them
selves at present.
The envoy is also getting data on
rolling stock. farm and Industrial ma
chnery and agricultural implements,
which will be needed in large quanti-
ties as the Germans are driven back.
The loss Of draught horses, taken
over by the Germans is to be one of
the greatest problems confronting the
Belgians
Unless the Germans can BIO forced to
restore machinery they have taken
from Belgium into their own country.
new machinery for practically every
industry In the country will have to
be purchased at tho close OF the war.
At the present time, Baron Moncheur
stated there is not enough machinery
in Belgium to operate q single mill.
1t is this lack OF machinery. he said.
which has kept the Bolgians idle, and
has given the Germans an excuse to
deport them.
1t is likely the first credit asked
from the United States for the railroad
construction will be s5o.000.0o0. with
tacit understanding that a like
amount will be advanced when this
sum is exhausted. In addition to this
sum an effort is being made to get an
other loan of s42.0OO.0oO on the same
terms the last advance was made. The
last loan. to be used entirely for re-
lief work has been paid out at the
rate Of s7.000,oo0 a month and is al
ready about half used UP.

REFORMS RECOMMENDED
 FOR NAVAL PRISONERS

Washington, Feb, 2S-Radical changes in methods of dealing with prisoners and those charged with les ser offeuses in the navy are recom' mended in a report submitted to Sec retary Daniels today by Thomas Mott Osborne. former Warden of Sing Sing, who recently served a term as 8 vol untary prisoner in the naval prison and detention ship at Portsmouth De. tails of the report were not made pub lc
 Secretary Daniels belives the pres ent regulations can be modified along the lines suggested. though he holds that minor notifications already made have created a better feeling of comradship and f1iendliness among the enlisted personnel reflected in the increasing number of re-enljst- meuts.
 Mr. Osborne's report will be com pared with others the secretary has received and from tiem a revised code dealing with the question of naval Imprisonment and fines will be written Meanwhile the reports will he held in confidence.
