INTERIOR TUNGSTEN MINE
 SOON ID BE REOPENED

That tungsten quartz mining will go forward in this district is now an as. sured fact. Of late all operators have curtailed their production to a large extent, and in some cases have shut down altogether.
 One of the last to close down was the Meier-Pardee property, on Steel creek. Much speculation has been in- dulged in as to how long the property would be closed or whether 1t would ever open. All conjecture is set at rest by the latest information that has Just been received from the Outside and the good news is sent that active operations will soon be commenced on large scale.
 Early last month the owners of this property. A. D. Pardee and Jacob Meier, met in Seattle and interested enough capital in their holdings here to organize and incorporate com pany for one million dollars. This company will open the mine on large scale, and active operations will soon be under way.
 It was the intention of MT. Meier to leave Seattle for the North on January F. On January IA he received a telegram from Mr Pardee calling him to San Francisco on further busi. ness connected with the company, which changed his plans. Mir Meier will leave Seattle within the next few days for Fairbanks, and on his arrival it is safe to assume that active work will commence on the property.
 Eight tons of mining equipment has been purchased for this mine on the Outside, and a contract let to William Ahimark to haul 1t in over the trail Fairbanks Citizeff

The kaiser is still in the saddle but the steed Is staggering under the load. The war lords will attempt one supreme offensive which will fail; then we will witness the beginning of the end. A good smash or two in the other direction will turn the tide next summer, and then the end will be plainly in sight
 And America will be there at the finish, in fine fettle and in magnificent array, unless the American people per. init the politicians of both parties to lead them into the commission of some irreparable blunder. Just now we must keep our heads up and our eyes straight ahead. There will be plenty of political issues to contest when we shall again find ourselves engaged in the peaceful pursuits. Then, and not until then, should we yield the center of the arena to the professional poli- ticians.

The coat-dress proved a con venience to the tourist who wished to travel light, especially when designed to allow an extra undergarment upon heed of warmth, and a eoat-dress like that pictured is thing of beauty and distinction.
 If you are looking for a garment versatile enough to play this double role, be assured you will not find any thing handsomer than the model shown here. It is of plain, smooth-faced cloth, and will appeal to good taste if we imagine 1t in gray or tan, or in darker colors. It is lifted into the ranks of the exceptional by its decora- tion.

THE REINDEER INDUSTRY.

The recent report of the federal bureau of education, for Alaska, be | sides setting forth the practical aC
 complishments in educating and In caring for the health and morals of the natives, sets forth the prosperous and encouraging condition of the rein
 deer industry, and suggests that Alas
 ka will soon be in a position to supply the Pacific coast cities with fresh
 meat
 The reports from the various rein.
 deer stations in Alaska indicate that,
 in June, 1916, there were 82,151 rein deer, distributed among eighty-five herds, the number at this time prob ably approaching 100000. This indus try was initiated in 1892 by the feder. al government, when it began the im- portation of reindeer from Siberia. Up to 1902 these inportations numbered 1,200, and from that nucleus the pres ent great herds grew. It has given the Alaska Indians a vocation and made many of them prosperous. The distri. button of deer is accomplished through system of apprenticeship. At the end of years work with the herd an apprentice receives six reindeer, at the end of the second year eight, at theend of the third year ten, and at the end of the fourth year twelve, when he is ready to begin independent oper-, ations. The total valuation and in- comes of the herds was $2,22Z,S42 in June, 1916.
 Until within recent years the in- dusty has been confined to the natives and Laplanders. White men have or, ganized a company at Nome and now have several thousand reindeer. Reins deer fairs are held annually, like cat tie shows in the States. Prizes areI annually contributed by merchants, | md add much to the general interest 1 Herds are now maintained over west l ,rR, Alaska from Point Barrow to the AIeutian islands, and the region Of he government railway and the Kus- .okwtrn river is soon to be stocked B Settlers are likely to prefer reindeer aising to cattle production, and it may 1e one of the chief industries of the ,auy Alaska farming regions

 Unexpected details in the costume appear In the slit pockets in each side of the skirt and in the small scarf made to match the coat. This scarf Idea has been developed by cOstumers in several clever ways, sometimes at tached to the coat and sometimes not. The urban worn with this very inter esting garment Is evidently a part of the outfit, for it depends upon GOV cred cord to furnish It's decoration, but goes further and adds an odd new pompon which looks much like a chrysanthemum made of ostrich f1ues.
