REFUGEES IN
 NEED IF SHOES

An appeal for discarded shoes to be sent the women and children and incapacitated old men tn devastated districts of France and Belgium who are said to be suffering intense ly because of a lack of shoes, Is contained in a communication sent by A. s. Elford, of the New York Life Insurance Company, to Albert J, Rhodes, president of the Seat tie Chamber of Commerce and Commercial Club.
 Thousands of refugees in the raV- aged districts of Western Europe are now going barefoot, and unless the people of the United States ans wer the call for shoes, women and children and old men will be forced to suffer through the winter without proper care, according to MT. FL ford. u
 The real brotherhood of man should enter into this campaign for shoes," he says. We are informed that the refugees fell upon their knees in gratitude and appreciation for what America is now doing in this respect"
 Other cities throughout this coun- try have already answered the call Boise, Idaho, has sent 4,OOO pairs of discarded shoes to the front, through the office of the New York Life Insurance Company.
 Seattle citizens are urged to send their old shoes to the office of the New York Life Insurance Company in the Lippy building, on Columbia street. So urgent has been the call from France that MT. Elford will personally pay the expense oi boxing and express charges to the war relief clearing house in New York City.
 skagway Urged To Send Shoes
 Skagway citizens are urged tc send their shoes to either James Kennedy & Go, or to Dortero & Son, who have volunteered to re- ceiYe them and store in boxes un' til ready for shipment. Keller Brothers have agreed to furnish boxes and material in which to shiI the shoes, and as. soon as sufficient are gathered to send, the Alaskan will sec that they are sent to tho proper authorities through the of fices of the New York Life Insur ance Company. .

Volney Richmond, superintendent Of the N. c. Company, and Howard Turner, auditor of the same com pany, who arrived on the Alaska, after a tour of the various lower Yukon mining camps, brought in- teresting news of the situation there Mir. Richmond says:
 "The railway construction work a Nenana is affording a large volume of freight for the steamers this year and is creating much work at Ne mana. Y.
 "The placer camps of the lower Yukon country, however, are not yielding as well this year as usual. The Ruby camp has experienced the heaviest falling off, while Koyukuk' Fairbanks, Marshall and Iditarod also will have lighter yields. However, in the aggregate they will produce milnons of dollars this year. Of course, 1t is impossible to learn from the dredge pople at Iditarod, Ruby and such places what they are recovering in gold, but the individuals all report low CT returns. The high costs of supplies contribute to this condi- ton, as some low grade graVels can not be operated prOfitablg when the costs are too high. But for such
