Corsets will be higher the coming
season. This startling piece of news is
due to the fact that the government
viii not allow manufacturers to use
steel and as cotton is also going up,
those who wear corsets may expect to
pay higher price. Then there is not
enough labor and with the lack of steel
things look rather blue in this partic-
ular line of commerce. According to
the best of information to be had from
those who know, there are from IL to
Is steels in corset and then eonsid-
ering that corsets are still in vogue
and worn to a considerable extent, it
seems that the government has decid-
ed to put a erimp in the corset market
and use the steel for more practical
purposes. Hence, it may soon be a mat
ter of substituting for steel and the
price is going up. The cheapest on the
market now is 81 retail and the dry
goods men say that within a year or
SO they may go higher. .

LIVELY SCENES AT HAYNES
 WHEN TRANSPORT TOOK
 ALASKA RECRUITS SOUTH

When the draft recruits left Fort Seward on the transport Sherman for the South, accounts of the scenes attending their departure were re- ceived, but owing to the request made all editors from the Govern ment that no news of troops while en route be given, nothing was print ed. Now that the Alaska recruits have arrived at their destination, the details may be given:
 The transport Sherman arrived at Haines at 4 p. m. on the afternoon of the Fist and by 10:1 o'clock that night she had all the boys on board and was sailing out of the harbor. The Sherman was in the transport service between Japan and Siberia when ordered to. Nome and then Fort Liscum and Fort Seward to take out the Alaska boys.
 As soon as the boys at the fort saw the. smoke of the Sherman round ing the harbor. they let out a regu- lar Indian war~hoop and everything in the Fort that was movable went into the air, while others did jigs and two steps on the grounds.

monster ship now ready to pull out from the dock The hoarse whistles of the transports screamed farewell; the army bell on the dock twanged it's deafening response; up from be- hind the blue-black Chilkats famed Aurora's silver streamers, and from the decks of the slow moving sea monster came the voices of the Al aska soldier boys, thousand strong, in rollicking song, Where Do We Go From Here, Boys; Where Do We Go From Here!"
 We watched the big vessel grow smaller and smaller as she headed for the open waters, then turned and silently filed away to our var ious homes and barracks. The Home Guards had lost it's bantering spirit; the civilians were thinking of their loved ones. To me it seemed as though the life, strength, and hope of Alaska had gone to the distant war, gone to help destroy that evil thing which makes war possible; gone to offer their bright young manhood to safeguard coming genera tions from the peril of the present, and "our bit" in keeping the home fires burning, trivial though it may be compared to their greater sacri- flee, is all the same just as neces- sary to their success.

THE SAILING OF THE TRANS
 PORT

(By Isabel Amber Gilman)
 The streets and stores of Haines had been full of khaki during the sunny days since my coming. Even ing parties and dances for the boys at Fort Seward had been frequent, and vague whisperings of the coming of a mysterious transport had filled the air! Every civilian except my self appeared to have friends at the Post. was feeling a bit lonely amid all this strangeness, and my thoughts turned naturally to the more isolated parts of the great in terior where army "wire-tappers" generously share the news of the far distant world with the Government teacher in exchange for apple pie or cake.
 Stepping into the postoffice one day, after the arrival of mail from below" I saw hand outstretched and Q smiling face coming toward me from the lines of khaki figures that surrounded the counters and delivery window My thoughts flew back to the days when Pat Casey cashed my salary checks at the First Territorial Bank in Douglas. Sure enough, it was Mr Casey, taller, more radiant than ever, and the out. stretched hand got very sincere hug. Any more of the boys here ?" l enquifed. Lots of them" grinned

the Irishman. And the next instant I was shaking hands with Roy Nolan who used to read the electric light meter in the old schoolhouse; Cor poral Roy Nolan then, the handsom- est young man at the Fort, although some of the Haines women thought me a poor judge of masculine attrac- tions.
 Then I went to the Winterberger party where Corporal Cunning, of Juneau, led the singing, and 1 sue cumbed to the prevalent mania of doing something for the boys" 'It's Welsh Rarebit and patriotic songs at the Government school house to- morrow night" I told Sergeant Free man. Bring all the Douglas and Juneau boys who care to come"
 But alas! Mine was a Goose Party" for at 2 p. m. the next day Fort Seward was quarantined, the guards were doubled and telephone wires cut. Haines was as quiet as a graveyard. Its smallpox" said one: Yellow Fever!" announced an other. By supper time it was decid- ed that bubonic plague had reached the post through the medium of Filipino recently arrived from parts unknown. Then somebody looked wise and mentioned leprosy. Haines held its breath and waited; then got out it's field glasses and watched the long lines of khaki drilling in the sunshine of the following day--so near, and yet so far and unreach- able.
 On the afternoon of the third day, as we looked through the windows of the Red Cross rooms where we were making surgical dressings we saw a khaki clad figure passing up the street. How did you get out?" shouted a man from a nearby store. Are you fumigated?" asked another.
 "Pm sterilzed and granted pass to see my wife and baby" answered the man with a humorous chuckle as he continued on his way up the middle of the street.
 'WhatS the quarantine rOr!' de- manded a dozen voices in chorus. But the answer came from Fort Seward, where khiki clad figures were piling up bundles on the govern ment dock. in a stenorian shout that brought half the population of Haines to the sidewalk Again field glasses were fitted to anxious eyes, and again the shouting came. Louder, more joyous than before and the sound took shape in words trans port"
