The Affeck Millinery Parlor has
just closed the seasons contract for
the return of Miss Jennie Mae Seay,

last season in this establishment. She
is now in Atlanta studying the de-
signs of the season, and getting to-
gether data for her work this fall.

son will be dainty and exceptionally
pretty, without the usual freakishness
that comes with very distinct changes.
Miss Seay made many personal as
well as business friends during her
stay with the Affleck Parlor who will
be pleased to learn that she will again
be here this fall. Any special orders
for later delivery will be attended to
by Miss Seay during her stay in At
lanta if left with Mrs. Ellis. Just
when Miss Seay will return is unde-
cided as she intends remaining until

| son so that what she brings with her
for the fall season will all be of the
very latest.

WHITE WHALES THE VICTIMS
 OF FIERCE SEA MONSTERS

Ben Nygren, who is building up big in dustry in the white whale fishing line, ar rived in town yesterday to haul out ship ment of fish oil which he has barreled for the Outside, says the Nome Industrial Worker of October 9 The oil is in two va reties, one perfectly refined oil, quite cdorless, and the color of olive oil, which Is obtained from the jaw and head of the beluga; the other grade of oil IS obtained from the rendered blubber of the animals, Mr Nygren has had very successful catch this season. A few days ago school ot two hundred passed north and were at tackled by killers, those fierce shark ales, about thirty feet long, which are the terror of the deep The white whale hugged the coast and kept in shallow water, but when rounding the cape they had to get Tn deep water, and the killers attacked them. One could plainly see the killers rising Tn the water with the young whales in their fierce jaws. Ben tried to get shot at the killers with his rife, but they took to the water and he could not see the submerged cesta- ceans hat killers got away with many oi the white whale seems certain. Ben Will go Outside this fall and accompany large shipment of oil, hides and other products of his industry He is extremely well satlshed with the results of the seasons fishing.

NAVAL TELEGRAPH MAN
 ON GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP

Scmc time ego three was published dis patch intima;ing shat the government was t9king measures to acquire the numerous wireless telegraph plants throughout the country Dr. Louis Winslow Austin head of the United States naval radio -telegraph:2 laboratory at Washington, D. C., has been in Seattle recently, and his talks with news paper men do not seem to confirm the news contained in the press dispatches. Says the Times;
 "Dr Austin Is working on experiments here fer the purpose of improving the cable service between Seattle and Alaska. The Newport wireless station, he says, wi be completed next year, and commercial serv ice will be available from there to Cor dova, where the big navy wireless station is located Ii is not planned entirely to eliml nate the cable, but the business is grow ing at such a rate that the necessity for auxiliary service is becoming apparent.
 Government ownership and operation of the wireless plants of the country could Surely be looked for in time of trouble, but I have no reason for thinking the govern ment will take over these plants now" said Dr. Austin It is very hard to get the structural steel necessary for building large stations, and this may cause the purchase Of few stations for use by the navy de partment.'

 It was disappointing and discouraging to many who had prepared themselves for the big affair when they learned that it was to De called off but the extremely ctlI weather that prevailed at thst time made it i'm possible to keep the 'Eall warm. and at the request of the creek patrons il was wisely decided to postpone it. Now renewed in terest is taken, and everything points to big time, as was anticipated for New Years night The prizes which were donated by the business houses of the district are about the best that were ever given here, and the competition for them will be keen, Un- daunted by reverses and sctbackS, the vet eran chef, Frank keenan, is still at his post, ready to deliver the good eats.

TOM LAWSON OCCUPIES CENTER OF STAGE
 AT INVESTIGATION OF PEACE LEAK

WASHINGTON Jan lO-The capital has been in furry all this week in anticipation of sensational disclosures by Thomas Lawson, the Boston promoter and capitalist, in the investigation of the peace leak" Lawson IS sad to have cleaned up half million dollars on the stock mraket as result of the movement of stocks caused by the premature ds closure of President Wilson's peace note to the entente allies. Secretary of State Lansing and Mir. Humility, the Presidents secretary, have announced their desire to testify. Lawson promised some sen- satonal revelations before the congressional com mittee which is conducting the investigation and leading Wall street bankers and officers of telegraph companies are under summons to testify,
 When placed on the stand on Tuesday and Wednesday Lawson made inslnuatlons which startled the committee but he would give no names. Mem bers of the committee are dsgusted and threaten to drop the inquiry. Contempt proceedings have been threatened, but are not likely to be pressed
 Representative Wood of Indiana has qualified pre- vious statements involving Secretary Humility and H. w. Boiling, the Presidents brother-in-law. He said his statements were all based on hearsay.
 Secretary Humility has made the statement that he not know the contents of the Presidents peace note.
 The probe may be abandoned on account of Law sons Ruke.

EDITAROD MAIL ALLOTMENT IS NOT COMMENSURATE
 WITH DISTRICTS NEEDS

Considerable dissatisfaction has been ex pressed since the inception of the winter mail service with the niggarGly allotment which is consigned to this city and district The delivery of the mail has been rather ir regular, but no comE laint has been made on this score. because the weather condl- ;iuns have not been such as to warrant the expectation of fast time being made. Indeed, % severe has been the winter so far that the rcsilents hercabouts may consider them selves fortunate that the deliveries have been even SO prompt as has been the case.
 But in the matter of the amount of mall consigned to this district there Is a just complaint Prior to the going into effect of the Seward IditGr0d mall contract the mai for this district was carried over the route from Fairbanks to Ruby and thence down the Yukon to kaltag thence to Diskaket, and thence to Dikeman and Idtarod. The route followed was much farther than the present one from tidewater and conse quently consumed more time, But it was seldom that the consignments for the ldt- arod consisted of less than the 400 pounds provided for in the contract.
 The present contract calls for 4l5 pounds of mail to leave Anchorage which allotment serves knik. Susitna, Tokotna, Ophir, ldit arod and Flat But this is not all The adjoining Tolstoi district, which has no post office as yet, is also supplied from this point. By the time the mail reaches 1dltarod it has dwindled to insignificant proportions, the last three mails consisting of but 2!o, 3I5 and 255 pounds respectively, which includes both Iditarod and Flat allotments.
 As consequence second class matter ad dressed to residents of this district must be accumulated at Seward in great quantities. as few periodicals for October, and scarcely any Outside newspapers for that month, have yet reached here.
 The amount of mail received here this winter so far is even less than that received last year, because of the fact that Oph!r, which last year was served entirely by the Ruby Tokotna contract, is this year served by the Seward Iditarod route, and as there was no increase in the weight limit, the re- suit has been to decrease the amount of mail received by Idtarod and Flat
 It should not be necessary to appeal to those in authority for relief from this in tolerable condition. The fact that this con- munity receives such an insignificant amount of mail weekly should appeal to the postal authorities without their attention being called to it. But it appears that no improvements in mail service can be secured in Alaska without strenuous efforts on the part of the citizens interested This is we'll illustrated in the case of Fairbanks where continual agitation has resulted in awarding emergency contracts which insure the de livery of "all the mail all the time" to that city Some concerted effort should be made by the citizens here to call the attention of the department to the ridiculously made <,uate service furnished.

BANK ROBBERS ARE QUICKLY DISPOSED OF

SEATTLE, Jan 8-Al J. Rounds Walter McDon- aid and Oscar Lowe, the Bothell bank robbers, pleaded guilty today and were each given the mlnl- mum sentence of from five to fifteen years.
 The crime for which the three men were sentenced was bold one. Early in December they hired an automobile in Seattle and proceeded to Bothe, small town on the shore of Lake Washington. where they entered the bank and forced President Hubbel in the presence of his wife and customer to deliver up the money. They then rushed to the woods, abandoning the auto and the Japanese chauffeur. The Jap appeared to be an innocent participant and was unable to throw any light on the identity of the men, but they were later captured and confessed
