STOCKING HABIT is STUPID
So Declares Writer in German Paper,
Discussing Need Of Eoonomizins
in Nations Supplies.

In the large towns going barefooted
is thing which has to fight against
social prejudices, and even In war
time It is difficult to establish the hab-

up stockings and shoes for the bad
weather. when we shall need them.
says II writer In the Fruukfurter Zeit-
ung. People wait for one another to
hegln-wHit until the warm summer
has passed. 1t is really stupid and
we ought not to be stupid In matters
which are connected with our immense
struggle for existence. But In this
matter, as in others, the young are
quicker to find the right course than
the cautious and timorous old ones.
In the streets Of our great cities there
Is now an Increase in the number Of
stockingless wearers Of sandals-
mostly Of the female sex. This method
of ecOnomizing our supplies Is more
appropriate to a large town than the
more radical method Of going bare
footed. And il really does not look
bad. Perhaps the sandulmakers could
take more account Of feminine coquet-
tishness and produce really pretty,
"dressy" samples. But even as the
sandals are they do quite well. Three

oAPR THORNTON VISITS
 sKAGwAY ON TILLAMooK

The gasoline power schooner Tilla mock arrived in Skagway for the first tune, yesterday morning. The Tillamook is owned by the Grand Trunk Pacific and Alaska s. s. Co.,, and Is used on the run between Prince Rupert and Ketchikan and other Southeastern ports for the transportation of fish. She has a capacity of 12,OOO cases of fish and is very speedy and comfortable. She carries 8 crew Of eighteen men and mas good passenger accommoda- tions.
 The Tillamook $ a large gasoline ship with a, capacity of 625 tons and she brought cargo of ties for this port for the w. P. X Y. Route.
 The Tillamook is commanded by Captain Ed. Thornton, who for many years twas the commander of the $. s. Georgia which ran on the tri- angle run of Juneau Sitka -Skagway and was the most popular boat that ever piled these northern waters.
 Capt, Thornton was busy all day shaking hands with hIs friends here and as of yore, bore away with him as many flowers ss they could bes- tow on him, notwithstanding the lateness of the seaosn.
 With Captain Thornton, was his purser, Lieut. G. B. RObb, who Is returned from the front after three years of active service in the Can adian army, in which he was gasseu and severely wounded. MT. Robb is from Winnipeg and Is filling the position of purser on the TillamooK where he is regaining his health rapidly.

NEW sCRAPER INVENTED
 WILL BOOST MINING

From all reports the new under ground scraper which Is now operat- ing on IS below Fairbanks creek is doing marvelous work. The scraper is the invention of Jack Tool and l.. c. Stewart, and from it's present performance will reVolutionize the mining game in Alaska.
 The equipment being used at pres ent is a small sized Bagley scraper operated by a 6xS double drum hoist with the leads being arranged for the filling and return of the scrap CT. At present the scraper is oper- ating in a tunnel 12O feet in length from tho shaft, terminating in crosscut in which the scraper works' The dirt is loaded into the car py means of a trap, the runway of the car being five feet iB bedrock ana below the level of the pay dirt.
 From the observation of Val Die bold, who paid a visit to the mine in which the new scraper is Work- ing, the actual performance of the scraper by timnig was 49 seven wheelbarrow buck: cts in one and one-half hours, being the equiVai- ent of three 7-m,e en gangs or twen- ty-one men for the same length or time.
 But three men are employed in the plant of the, new invention; a hoist man, one 'csr tender, and a man to look after the lines and blocks.
 The most difficult part of the working of the new machine IS the securing of enOught thawed dirt tC keep it going steadily, and when that problem is studied out the economical wo rking 0f all low grade ground will be a great factor in making the output for this camp up to that of former years. The in ventors are n ow working on thaw' ing machine which, it is hoped, VII keep the gro und tnawed in such quantities tn. at no cessation of the work will b 3 required. This wll permit the ground being able to produce under ordinary circumstanc es about 40 buckets an hour. The main requisite is large bodies oi ground that could 0e worked in quie time. The only additional expense would be the employment of one extra man whose work would DC putting in buJiheads to prevent the ground from slabbing off.
 To the inv entors credit must be given for de voting so much time to the bettermt mt of the mining game in this cam p. should their inven- tion prove the success that is hoped all Of the old machinery in the camp will be used ip some manner or other i n equipping mines in the modern IT lethod.-Fairbanks New: Miner
