WONDERS WILL NEVER
 CEASE SAYS CITIZEN

For the first time in the history Of Ketchikan," said prominent Launch captain this morning, eighteen miners who were told to be at the city float at nine o'clock yesterday morning, were there on the stroke of the hour, ready to go back to work, after spend ing their holidays and money in Ket- chikan," he said.
 The captain explained that many a time before when he had contract to take over so many men to the mines, he had to wait for several hours af- ter the time appointed and probably had only half the number who were supposed to go, "and the best part of it was, the men were all glad to get back to work, and before prohibition was here, you couldn't pry them away from town" he added.

kETCHIKAN IS
 COMPiIMENTED ON SURGICAL DRESSINGS
Sweaters Must Be Knitted More Firmly For Warmth Says
 Inspector

Chairman J. C. Barber, of the mili- tary relief committee, who is in charge of all goods shipped and received, has received two communications in re- gard to materials shipped by the Ket- chikan chapter. The first letter, from the Superintendent of surgical dress ings is as follows:
 We are in receipt of report from the inspector of surgical dressings at the Red Cross Supply Bureau on box of dressings received from your Chap ter, and take great pleasure in in forming you that the box showed great improvement, and was very well made"
 The second letter was from the su- perintendent of the Miscellaneous de- partment of the Pacific division and is as follows:
 We are in receipt of report from the knitting inspector at the Red Cross supply bureau in regard to the knit ting sent in by your Chapter We would like sweaters knitted very firm and close, as this insures greater warmth. Mufflers are not asked for any more. as the yarn can be used to better advantage in the other gar ments.
 "As VIC have found a good many cases in knitting socks over directions in A. R. c. 400, that the socks were small and narrow, and that women have found it difficult to follow the directions for the Kitchener toe, we have deemed it best to get out new in structions for knitting socks. which call for GO stitches all the way down. The directions for the Kitchener toe are al "ery plain. and We think there will be no trouble in following them
 We are sending supply under sep arate cover of these new instructions and hope you will distribute them free ly."
 The above mentioned new instruc- tions for knitting socks were publish ed in the Miner a few weeks ago. Copies of the same way be secured from either Mrs. Bugge or Mrs. Dobbs, at the Red Cross Work rooms.
 The shipment of made-up articles and knitted garments will be shipped Saturday now only, on account of the delay of the Admiral Evans.
