D0G. SAVES LIFE " 0F WHARFINGER

Bow, WOW, wow went the dog. "BQb" this morning is the hero of all who heard how he saved the life of his master last night. Wirt Alden and his small dog are more inseparable than ever this morning. It all happened this way.
 About a quarter to three this morning Mir. Alden was greatly an noyed because his little dog Bob ran into MT. Alden's bed room and parked incessantlY trying to arouse hIs master. Being awakened from his sleep MT. Alden heard the noise of falling rocks off the cliffs back o' the wharf and directly back of his house. He quickly got up and ran cut of doors just in time to see large rock, about the size of a Majestic range, go tumbIing into his kitchen. More rocks fell, some smashing through the heavy plank ing on the wharf tearing holes six feet In diameter, knocking the rail ing off the wharf approach, smash ing the tool house, and completely taking out one section of the White Pass rails at that place. A telephone pole, which happened to be in the way was smashed down, rocks flew through the windows in- tc the workingmen's lunch room' and other rocks went through a window in the wharf office at a place, had 1t occurred in the day time, might have injured MT. Alden, for 1t was at the window beside his desk.
 One rock flew clear across the first wharf and struck a small boat tied to the old Pacific Coast dock, breaking in two large hand saw on the boat.
 A large force of men is working this morning in an effort to clear away the debris, but 1t is thuoght a steam crane may be necessary tc clear some of the larger boulder' which are now resting on the wharf
 This Is the third time within year that rock slides have occurred Tn the same vicinity.

RETIREs FROM FIRM

Announcement is made of the re- tirement of the Rev. L. H. Peder- sen and Ralph Pedersen from the photographic firm of Pedersen, Bro thers. Although Rev. MT. Pedef- aen's connection with the actual operation of the business has been bu; nominal for some time past he has owned the control thereof and it is because of his desire to be re Iieved of any responsibility in busi- ness matters that his interests have been purchased on behalf of others already identified with the firm.
 Fred L. PederSen and Miss carol Caskey will be the responsible head' of the business hereafter and it will be known as "Pedersen and Corpany, successors to Pedersen Brothers" t.
 The change thus brought about will be in keeping with the Rev MT.

Hunters, Fishers, Berry Pickers at BurrOw
 Creek

A large crowd of jolly over all kids went to Burrow creek this morning at S:2O o'clock, sailing in g small launch which belongs to Rapuzzi. Owing to an extremley low tide the good ship Dauntless struck 8 sand bar in the vicinity of the large slide near the Whits Pass wharf and was not able to Set sail until 1O:3O a. m. It is estimated that about 50 people made the trip.
 The day is ideal, and the water on the canal Is as smooth as Cleo patra's mirror. The warm sunshine and the tempting baits should make the fish in BurroW creek unusually active and skagway may look for a market tomorrow flooded with inhabitants of the rushing waters of BurTow falls. Berry pickers, hunters, fishermen and sightseers are among the people who today are enjoying an outing with the Alpine club at Burrow creek. - .,-i

ARGENTINA AND -.
BRAZIL AT OUTS
Argentina is Mobilizing Troops 0,
Brazilian Border in Order They
Claim to Prevent German
Uprising in Brazil.

Santa Anna De'Lviramento, Bra
zil, Nov. 15-The municipal author
tiles believe that the settlement OF
the strike which has been in prog
ress here for some time is only tenn
porary and the Germans are for
menting new walkout. The strike
Just settled was the third to come
in quick succession, and like the
others it greatly interfered with the
shipment of foodstuffs and other
supplies to the entente allies. Off
cials say they, believe these strikes
are part of revolutionary move
ment.
The national government is main
tanning strong forces throughout
the affected district. And the Bra
zilians are declared to be anxious
for action against the Argentine
troops as result of persistent re-
ports in official circles that Argen-
tina is at Libres and sjanto Tome,
near the Southern Brazilian from
tier. Officials scoff at Argentina's
excuse that the mobilization is
merely precautionary against a
German uprising in Brazil and fear
a renewal of hostilities over the old
boundary dispute concerning The
Missiones province, which was set
tied some years ago by !, President
Cleveland. ~
Among other internal problems
Brazil is faced by renewal of ac-
tive propaganda by the monarchists,
especially in the Rio Grande Do'Sul
and Porto Allegro districts and
which also is active here.
Brazil has prohibited entrance in
to the country of Uruguayan Ger
mans, 1t is reported here that a
national decree has, been issued sus-
pending the constitutional rights of
Germans. The decree is expected
to cause new outburst in the Ger
man provinces.

PRESIDENT PROCLAIMS

Calls on Nation Even in Midst of
Sorrow ana Peril of World at
War to Thank God for Bless
ings on November 20.

Washington, Nov. 15.-President
Wilson issued tonight his 1917
Thanksgiving proclamation, calling
upon the nation, even in the midst
of the sorrow and great peril of a
world shaken by war to thank God
for blessings that are better than
mere peace of mind and prosperity
of enterprise. .
The proclamation fixing Thursday
November 29, as Thanksgiving day
follows:
cit has long been the honored
custom of our people to- turn in the
fruitful autumn of the year in
praise and thanksgiving to Almighty
God for His many blessings and
mercies to us as a nation. That
custom we can follow now even in
the midst of the tragedy of world
shaken by war and immeasurable
disaster, in the midst of sorrow and
great peril because even amidst the
darkness that has gathered about us
can see the great blessings God has
bestowed upon us, blessings that
are better than mere peace of mind
and prosperity of enterprise.
eve have been given the oppor-
tunity to serve mankind as we once
served ourselves in the great day of
our Declaration of Independence,
by taking up arms against a tyr
amy that threatened to master and
debase men everywhere and Joining

w. w. LONG URGES THE
SOWING OF GRAIN

Clemson College, Nov. 9, 1917
To all Agents.
Dear Sir:-I have been scanning
your field reports for the last two
weeks with a great deal of interest
especially for the purpose of get
ting such information from them as
you have given concerning the seed
ing Of grains, especially wheat, in
your respective counties.
I have been greatly disappointed
in the information that I have OBJ
tanned. Up to this time, little grain,
and especially wheat, has been seed
ed. There is little time left if we
expect to obtain a profitable crop
at next harvest time. Surely our
people have not forgotten the call
by our Government for the seeding
of an increased acreage in wheat to
the amount of thirty-seven percent
over last year. Last years acreage
in the state was 225,000 acres. In
order to meet the demands of the
Government we should seed $780,
900 acres. This is absolutely nec-
essary if we are to do our part in
furnishing the bread supply for
our armies and The armies of our
Allies. ,,,
We are asking our young men to
defend our> honor and our liberty
if need be by giving up their lives.
If they are willing to die for US,
surely our people should be willing
to live for them.
Your very truly,

News for the Farmer

State fuel administrator to have the
use of wood substituted for the use
of coal was stressed by the admin
istrator late today when he announ'
ced that the coal supply in the State
had reached the acute stage. The
administrator also urges the neces'
sity of towns and cities in the State
establishing municipal wood yards
wherever it is impossible for the To-
cal fuel dealers to give relief.
The administration is doing ev.
erything possible to secure relief
and as quickly as possible. Unless
supplies of wood are secured in va
rious communities the administra,
tor declares that suffering among
the people is bound to follow in his
opinion.
The acute condition of the coal
situation is due largely and mainly
to the fact that many cars of coal
which would have certainly given
temporary relief in many sections. OF
the State, have been confiscated by
the railroads. ...........
The administration advises the
coal dealers throughout the State to
place orders for coal with their reg
ular dealers as far as possible and
that in the event the regular deal
ers fail to fill the orders, it will
then be proper for the local coal
dealers to request assistance from
the State fuel administration thru
the regular channels, that is, by ap-
plying to local committees of the ad-
ministration furnishing whatever
information the committees might
request of them. "

MR.. LONG URGES MORE WHEAT
SAYS Uncle Sam Asks State to In
crease Acreage Thirty-Seven Per
Cent More Than Last Year

Clemson College, S. c., Now
That the issue involved in the pres
ent war will be decided in favor OF
the countries furnishing the last
crust rather than the last soldier is
the opinion of w. W. Long, director
of agricultural extension of Glenn
son College. "Thus," Mr.. Long says,
"the responsibility placed upon the
shoulders of the rural people of the
United States is greater than that
ever borne by any class of the
worlds citizenship since the begin
ming of the Christian Era.
"South Carolina is expected to do
it's part in furnishing bread, fats
and meat to our soldiers and those
who are fighting our battles. We
should be thankful that we live in
a state the natural advantages of
which make it an easy task for us
to comply with the sacred demands
of our government.
"The government expects South
Carolina this year to increase her
acreage in wheat at least thirty
seven per cent over last years
acreage, or a total of 30s,250 acres
Surely this demand will be cheer
fully complied with when we rem
ember that in the fall of 1914 we
seeded $1,000 acres in wheat when
the necessity for this large acreage
was not so urgent as it is today"

AMERICANS SLEEP
IN FRENCH SOIL

With the American Army in
France, Nov. 15.-The first three
American soldiers killed in the
trenches in France tonight are
sleeping in French soil, honored by
the American army and the people
and army of France. The final in
terment took place today. a :,
With guard Of French Infan-
trymen in their picturesque uni
forms of red and horizon blue stand
ing on one side and a detachment of
American soldiers on the other, the
1ag-wrapped caskets were lowered
in the grave as bugler blew taps
and the batteries at the. front fired
minute guns. AS the minute guns
went off the French officers. COM
manding the division in this section
paid tribute to the fallen Ameri-
cans. His words, which were pune
tuated by the roar of the guns and
the whistle of shells, touched both
the French and Americans, In con-
clusion the French officers said:
"In the name of the -th divis-
ion, in the name of the French
army and in the name of France, I
bid farewell to Private Enright,
Private Gresham and Private Hay
of the American army.
"Of their own free will, they had
left prosperous and happy coun-
try to come over here. They knew
war was continuing in Europe, they
knew that the forces fighting for
honor, love of justice and civiliza-
ton were still checked by the long
prepared forces serving the powers
of brutal domination, oppression
and barbarity. They knew that eff
forts were still necessary. They
wished to give up their generous
hearts and they have not forgotten
old historical memories while others
forget more recent ones.
"They ignored nothing of the
circumstances and nothing had been
concealed from them-neither the
length and hardships of war, nor the
violence of battle, nor the dreadful
ness of new weapons, nor the per-
fdy of the foe. Nothing stopped
them. They accepted the hard and
strenuous life, they crossed the
ocean at great peril, they took their
places on the front by our side and
they have fallen facing the foe in a
hard and desperate hand-to-hand
fight. Honor to them! Their fam
lilies, friends and fellow citizens will
be proud when they learn of their
deaths.
"Men! These graves, the first to
edug in our national soil and only
short distance from the enemy,
are as mark of the mighty land
we and our allies firmly cling to in
the common task, confirming the
will of the people and of the army
of the United States to fight with
us to finish, ready to sacrifice as
is necessary, until final victory for
the most noble of causes, that Of the
