they are so charming that one is not
surprised at this fact. They are made
OF all manner Of materials, and when
seriously considered for real wear are
very practical and comfortable. The
ones illustrated here were of soft SILK
creamy in tone, with large figures
here and there in delicate lavinder

sleeves, the lower edge of the jacket
and the trousers were Of deep French

extreme. The little coat slips is with

times, the trousers are gathered into
deep cuffs often ending in ruffles.

MINER
 IN FAIRBANKS

Among the late arrivals from the Tolovana country was Phil Lynch of the mining firm of Lynch X Verdier, who made the trip to Fair banks by mushing across country to Olnes. finishing the balance of the trip by train.
 Mining conditions in that section have been set back considerably ow- ing to dry season, hardly any rainfall of any amount being noted. Operations will be somewhat cur tailed this winter owing to the clos ing down of many of the mines, the small operator being unable to con- tinue on account of the high prices of commodities. The country is be. coming depopulated fast. Within the past few weeks many of the old standbys of the camp have gone Outside, and a large number of the workingmen have left the district to offer their services to the country.
 MT. Lynch will await the arrival Of his partner here, and together they will make a trip to the Outside the first in twelve years.

OF
 COMMISSION IS
 BEING SENT ON

DAWSON. Y. T.. Sept. 1S.-As a part of the load of the steamer Al. aska were 200 tons of railroad ma. terial consigned to the Alaskan En. gineering commission at Nenana.
 The equipment consisted for the greater part of small construction dump cars and trucks, which will be used in the construction work out of Nenana south to the coal fields and north toward Fairbanks. This is being pushed forward from Whitehorse with all possible dispatch so as not to be caught in the freezeup, which would greatly re. tard the construction progress dur ing the winter months. But little more freight remains to be sent to the interior points. It is expected that with the scheduled departure of the next two boats all freight for the interior will have been sent.

LEE JAMES TO
 JOIN THE ARMY
 OF CANADIANS

The following clipping from a coast paper in regard to the enlist ment of Leander L. James, son of MT. and Mrs. l.. l.. James formerly of Fairbanks, is of interest:
 "L L. James of Seward, one of the most prominent of the younger Alaskan attorneys. will leave on one of the next steamships for the Out side, where he will join the Cana dian army for overseas service.
 Lee, as he is known to most AL askans, has made repeated efforts to join the American forces, but be- cause of slight injury to his knee, received in football game during his college days, he was refused as often as he offered himself to the examining physicians. However, he was determined to join the adven- ture, so he offered his services to the Canadian government. where he was accepted, bum knee and all.
 After he has finished his legal affairs. which he will be able to wind up at the September term of court, Lee will hit the grit for the great unknown and join regiment of Canadian Highlanders, and God pity the Huns he may happen to meet"
 Lee James is we'll known in the interor, being practically raised in the north. Previous to coming here his parents resided at Dawson. the older James being engaged in min ing. Coming to Fairbanks, the young lad entered the Fairbanks schools and with his brother Bennett en- gagged in the mining game, being in terested with the elder Bennett on their famous Goldstream claim. Got ing Outside, he finished his educa- tion and took up law. Since that time he has been associated more or less with the legal fraternity on the coast.

TWO BREAKS IN
 THE TELEGRAPH
 LINE TO COAST

During the early morning there was washout on the telegraph line be- tween Valdez and Wortman. It was expected that the line would again be in service before evening, but late in the afternoon ;he local office dis covered that they could use the line only as far as Tonsina. break having occurred at a point in the wooded area south of the station A man was sent out to repair the line, leaving at 2 o'clock, so il is cX. pected that the break will be located this morning and the line be in ser vice before noon.
 All expectations were that the telegraph line would be in service before evening, so no attempt was made to arrange for the sending of press by way of the Canadian line until it was too late, and as a result the present issue of The Citizen is short on all telegraphic n,ws from the States.

included in the lists supplied by the several press associations under an agreement entered into by the com. mittee on public information and the press associations acting for the newspapers. The exact dates on which the casualties were given out as well as the place of battle cannot be given because of the information which would thus be given to the enemy. It is so necessary for the government to keep this knowledge from the enemy that the lists are not given out until a number of days have elapsed, and even though the lists may be sent to the papers be- fore the day for publication, 1t Is i'm possible for the papers to give them out without violating their agree. ment with the government and con. sequently having the government dis. continue the service.

WILL JOURNEY
 BY EASY WAYS

Yesterday Mir. and Mrs. Harry Marsh. MT. and Mrs. Pete Malone and N. A. (Dad) Shaw left in pri- vate rigs for the coast over the trail. their destination being the great Out side. The outfit comprised two rigs and three horses.
 The party will make the trip to the coast by easy stages, camping whenever it comes that time. The several hunting grounds and fishing streams will also be visited, the trip being more of picnic than journey. The Marsh and Malone party will go to Seattle and probably engage in war work. MT. Shaw intends to pay a short visit to Montana and from there will go to his old home town in Michigan.

DAWSON. Y. T., Sept. 1S.-With the departure of the steamer Alaska for Fairbanks today the close of the navigation season for that boat was marked. It is stated by the officials here that the boat will in all probability be taken off the run and put in winter quarters on her return to this port.

TO HOLD A FAIR
 ON HALLOWEEN

Following the custom of past years, St. Matthew's Guild will hold their annual fair on the date which they have always used-Hallowe'en. AS a number of boxes of pretty articles have been received from kinu friends Outside, it makes it possible to hold this fair. The places and hours will be announced later.
 Last year the Guild made sub stantial donation to the bed fund, and it is probable that the dance which has usually been feature of the fair on the evening of Hallow- cen will be held by the ladies of the Guild for some one or the war funds. It has not been announced just yet which fund this will be. The usual date will be observed however, with the fair in the after noon and the dance in tho evening"

TAYLOR SYSTEM
 IS UNPOPULAR

STOCKHOLM, July.-E Efforts Of big employers of labor in Germany to prepare the way for d general adop- tion of the American Taylor system strong opposition in trade union cir cles. In industrial circles i; is ar- gued that the loss of male workers due to the war will absolutely com pei German manufacturers, if they are to meet outside competition sue cessfully, to increase the individual production of their employees.
 The Metal Workers union has re- gently caused an exhaustive study of the system to be made by dele gates from seventeen different branch es. These delegates have filed Il re- port strongly opposing the system, which they declare to be "a further step in the ruthless exploitation of labor" They declare thar it prac- tically eliminates the lower grade laborer, "who, however, also has right to proper wage and who also desires to maintain his family proper ly."
 Well known civil engineers and technicians have also taken stand against the Taylor system.
 \ ,nI in, all branches of industry in France number 626,000, according to an off cial report. This compares with 4S7.- 900 employed in normal times. This increase is due almost entirely to the employment of women in metal in dustries, chiefly in intuition works. The weight which women can be required to carry in factory work is limited by law to 55 pounds.
 Women are widely employed for the inspection of finished goods; they examine separate parts for auto- mobiles verify light shells, fuses and grenade plugs. They inspect big Ills externally and internally by the use of electric lamps and they test the caliber using complicated measuring apparatus and micro. scopes. They nail up cases of all kinds, even cases for airplanes and automobiles. The women supervise the buildings where men are at work and keep them clean.

 INTERESTING

CAMP KEARNEY, San Diego, Aug. 9.-Men of "C" company, 18th field signal battalion, introduced novelty at a dinner dance they held recent ly at La Jolla in having all the tables used by the diners connected with field telephones. Wires were strung and exchanges set up much as they are in the trenches. Some of the stations" were named Disc, Montdidier, Dugout, Base Hospital and La Jolla. The phones were used for inter-table communication during dinner and for ordering refreshments after dancing began.
 Special classes for the benefit of soldiers who cannot speak or read the English language have been organized in the Hath field artillery California Grizzlies) by the chaplain of that regiment, First Lieutenant F. w. Clampett.
 Six volunteer aids, all soldiers of the regiment, have charge of the classes, which total 85 in enrolment. The majority of the students are of Italian extraction.
 Slang originated by American sol diers now in the battle lines in France and many stories of front line conditions have been put in cir culation here by officers sent back from France to act as instructors.
 So far, according to these officers, only two slang expressions have been adopted from America's associates in the war-"camouflage" and putting the wind up" The first is from the French and is in general use to indi- cate imitation or "counterfeit" The second is from the British and indi- cates a state of nervous apprehen- sion generally on the part of the enemy.
 The terms "coal boxes," Jack Johnsons," "Whizz-bangs" and other British slang designations for heavy shells have been replaced. for Ameri- can use, by "barrack bag" trunk locker" and "G. |. Can," all of winch are the names of bulky and cumber- some articles of the American sol dier's, officers or company's equip ment, respectively.
