BRITISH LOSE 100000
IN MONTH OF SEPTEMBER

LONDON, Oca. 12.-British casual.
ties reported during the month OF
September total 1O4,59S, divided as
follows:
Officers killed or died of wounds,
636; men, 1892. officers wounded
or missing, 2,151; men $500.
The severity of the fighting in
which the British have been engaged
during September is indicated not on
ly by the total casualties of more than
100000, but by comparison with the
August figures, which were 59,811.
Casualties in some of the late Aug
ust fighting in Flanders are naturally
included in the September total but
this may we'll be Offset by late Sep
TENDER casualties not reported in
time to be covered in the figures an
nounced today
The total compares favorably, how
ever, with the figures for September,

the somme when the casualties were
119,54S.

COMPEL DR.. J. H. McCallie, the den
tist, to make a wide detour in going
to and from his home, which is locat-
ed on the banks of Chester Creek
about mile from town, he was able
to discover the individuals, who
week ago, helped themselves to much
of a winters grul stake from his
cabin.
DR.. McCallie suspected that the
persons were on their way to Seward
over the trail and being in need of
provisions stopped at his cabin and
relieved him of several pounds of
ham, bacon, cheese, coffee and canned
milk. Last night on his way home,
however, he noted a thin spiral of
smoke arising from a part of his
homestead, where ordinarily no one
should be. Approaching the place he
saw two little Indian girls, each
about eight years old. They were bus
lily cooking and devouring the delect-
able portions of the missing food.
They manifested generosity. They
offered the doctor a slice of ham, but
he smilingly declined. He warned
them to hide the food they could not
eat in place secure from proving
dogs. In response they pointed to a
hole in the ground covered with rocks
that served az their 1ardor Fly

FRIDAY, OCTOBER IL, 1917
THANKS, MIR. SCLZER

The thanks of the people of Alaska
are due to Delegate Sulzer for the
passage of the bill exempting claim
owners from doing assessment work
this year. 1t is conceded that to him is
due the credit. The service is not a
slight one by any means. Particular
ly beneficial is it to the Gastineau
Channel district, and those engaged
in operating mines throughout this
section of Alaska. 1t is beneficial, of
course, because it saves the cost of the
assessment work to claim owners, but
it's particular value to the people is
because of the relief to the labor 81
tuation. The operating mines need far
more men than they now have. If it
had not been for the action of Con-
Eress several hundred men would
shhve to be taken from other useful
occupations where they are helping to
keep the wheels of industry moving
in order to perform the work on the
many hundred unpatented claims
within this section of the Territory.
Such a burden would be a very ser.
ious matter at this time.
There will be general rejoicing
among the people of Alaska-of
Southeastern Alaska in particular
on account of this excellent service by
Delegate Sulzer, an achievement that
was particularly difficult of attain
ment at this time on account of the
war, with the work it is entailing up
on Congress, and because of the cir
cumstance that Congress is anxious
ly trying to get through with the ex-
traordinary session and secure few
weeks respite before the beginning
of the regular session in December

THE Associated Press recently
sent out a story that a train going
thru Ohio was fired upon and four
soldiers wounded. Investigation
proves that there were no soldiers
wounded and that no one fired at the
train, either with soldiers aboard or
otherwise, and that the only founda-
ton for the story was the fact that
a drunken man threw a rock at the
train as it went by. Perhaps the great
er part of these startling dispatches
the papers are receiving are from the

MAKING 1T EASIER

Down in the bottom of every hui

that after our sojourn in this vale of

particle of that hope of harmony in
the hereafter, is it not possible for
