ALASKANS JOIN ARMY AT
 r. SEWARD
YOUNG MEN FCRsAKE FINE P0- sITIoNs AT PERSEVERANCE AND PUT ASIDE THEIR AMBI- TIONS IN ORDER TO SERVE AMERICA IN ITS TIME OF DIRE NEED.
Special Correspondenee)

lhraa fine, cleany industrious young men, strong, robust, and the kmd cf men who are going to wrcst flom the hated Kaiser that power which be would gain by trod- diLg undertoot every known Chris taE rule and law, recently enlist el for duty with the United States aruy at Ft. Wm. H. Seward.
 WilIie,n Meaghan, controller of the Perseverance mine ct Thane, offered his service to his government a. Ft. Seward last week. MT Meaghan's home is in Portland, Ore Eup, He is about 25 years Ot age and has been away from home since 1901. MT. Meaghan joined the Forestry Division of the U. $. 4.
 Patrick Comisky also enlisted in the forestry division. Before join ing the army MT. Comisky was a blacksmith at Perseverance mine near Thane. He was born in Ire land ard took out his citizenship papers in Juneau, being com Dlelcly uaturalized citizen at the present time. He will be 21 years Of age in January.
 Fred OYermiller, of St. Cloud, Minnesota, joined the forestry diVi- sicD, enlisting recently at Ft. Sew ard. MT. OYermiller heretofore was an engineer on the Thane rail way. He will be 25 years of age his next birthday.
 These young men, although regis tered in Alaska and subject to draft, are needing the call of our country and the desirous of doing their bit as soon as possible, rath- CT than wait to be called. They jourEeyed to Ft. Seward last week where they offered their services to their country in its hour of dire need, laying aside their personal in terests and ambitions, and placing their strength as we'll as their lives, if need be, on the altar of their country.
 Such young men are an example to others, and do more towards stim- ul&fing recruiting than all the posters which the government could put cut. The Alaskan sends these youths, the best blood of the land, its well wishes, and knows they viii be true Alaskans and patriots wherever they go.

tempted, nor is it yet possible in the dyeing of yarns. If, however, paper fabrics are employed to a large- extent for clothing, a com plete penetration of the fabrics by tine dye will be necessary, as other wise an undesirable "shininess' will soon appear on those parts of tba garments, which are exposed tC friction. It would, therefore, un- doubtedly be necessary to dye the paper in pulp before spinning. For this purpose 1t will be necessary to use water-resisting dyes in order that there may be no difficulties in carrying out the process of spinning which, as is well known, is a wet process.

DIFFICULTY OF DYEING PA
 PER FABRICS

The increased use Of paper fab rics, says the Wollen-Gewerbe, has caused special attention to be de- voted to the problem of dyeing them. At the present time the dyes used for cotton are also used for paper fabrics, which are mainly dyed iu the piece. The efforts ot the dyer are directed chiefly to finding dyes which resist water. The textiles are dyed in the same man ner as cotton gcods-in the piece
 So far the penetration of the ma terials by the dye has not been at.

SNOW ON SIDEWALKS

Nov that We are assured of enough water for the skating rink ss soon as the spring rains set in, Ne wish to call attention to the yari- Ous snow drifts along the streets Of the city that make walking in the strong winds dangerous. On Tbs south side of the Bank of AL asks is a large drift that almost covers the whole sidewalk, and that sbould be removed. The cross Hslks on the corner of 5th and Broadway are at times like the rids pole Of 6 tent, and so it is on the corner Of Srd and Broadway and elsewhere. While it is undoubted- lT the duty of the city to keep the Yslks clean and free from danger, tha city should not always be ex- beeted to stand with a shovel in its hand and clear off the snow as fast Rs t falls. However when snow Stands on the main walks of the ToHR as long as this has, some thing should be done and the city should dr 1t, as provided in the SkAgTay ordinance. At least it is not the duty of any individual to kssp the cross walks clean, but Elearly the duty of the city.
