DISCOVERER OF FAMOUS MINING CREEK IS NOW
 WITH R. R. COMMISSION

Frank J. Cleary, who discovered the creek in the Fairbanks district which bears his name, the discovery of which made several men wealthy, is at pres ent in Seward connected with the commission in an important position. MT. Cleary is now experimenting the extra track construction in the local yards. The well-known mining man has not abandoned hope of getting back into the old game again, but will wait for the railroad to reach Broad pass before he again tempts fortune from the rock.
 Mir. Cleary has great faith in the Broad Pass district, having given that section a thorough investigation. He believes that the Broad Pass will some day in the very near future be one of the best mining sections in Alaska.
 Years ago MT. Cleary broke into the newspaper game at Fairbanks, his partner being Bob McChesney, now manager of the mechanical depart ment of the Juneau Daily Empire. MT. Cleary found the newspaper life an exciting one, and after short time disposed of his interest to Frank J. Cotter now merchant of Seward; i; E. Struthers Bunch, who became fam ous by marrying Daphne Pollard of the celebrated Pollard family, mu- sical comedy stars, and Billy Ray mond, now in the promotion business somewhere in the East.

HOTEL EXCLUSIVELY
 FOR AMERICANS NOW
 OPEN AT ROMAGNE

PARIS, Nov. 24 (by Associated Press).-The first hotel in France re. served exclusively for American fathers and mothers who have crossed the ocean to visit the graves of their dead will be opened at Romagne. where is located the largest American military cemetery in Fance. Here sleep more than 21 800 American boys who laid down their lives in the war.
 Now that passport restrictions are being lifted, many American parents are coming to France every day to visit the graves of the American sol diers. Some mothers come alone, and not knowing French customs and Ian- guage, suffer many discomforts find ing the way to their boys graves. Many wish to remain day or two at the cemeteries, which are some dis tance from the nearest towns, but until now there have been no accom- modations.
 Similar hotels will be establishe ed later at other American cemeteries. The second one will probably be placed at St. Quentin.
 After Romagne the next largest cemetery is the one at Thiaucourt, with 4,200 graves. Among the other large American cemeteries are: Beau mont, 750 graves; Fishes, 1,S00 Ploisy, 1885; Juvigny 416; Fera-en- Tardenois, $500; Belleau, 2,500; Bony, 1900, and Villiers-T -TournelIe, 400

Government Salaries MUST Be
Raised
Raised
High Prices Are With Us Fer Years to Coms-salary
Be Raised 70 Correspond.
By EARL GOODWIN.

There is one certainty about this High Cost Of Living
And that is Congress MUST raise the standard Of all
Government salaries.
In Washington the cost Of food has risen % per cert
since the big upheaval started a few years ago.
The cost Of living in Washington has doubled al bat
two or three per cent
Every economist who has testified before the various
investigating committees has told the members Of Congress
that while there win be isolated instance Of price fall
ing here or there the general standard Of living costs win
remain about where it is.
Unless we have panic, national calamity, with its
consequent long period Of starvation there win NOT be
general horizontal reduction in necessities And there viii
be no panic)
We may kin off the profteer but the basic increased
costs viii be with Us for years.
For instance profteer may quit selling $14 shoes for
$1s but the $14 shoe is with as to stay.
Whereas the Government clerks salary is based on
day when he could get $14 shoe for $3.50
SENATOR BALL hit the nail on the head when hs
asked DR. ROYAL MEEKER economist Of international
standing eff going to keep the present necessities
of life at their present level is it not absolutely necessary
to change the Governments policy to salaries here IN the
District of COlumbiai''
We must either change the Government salary 10 meet M

with our national delieaeies Of
buckwheat cakes, fried oysters,
and lobster salad as utterly un-
civilized and beyond the pale Of
human consideration.
But lately we had some visitors,
quests Of the nation" was the
high-sounding title the papers gave
them. Gentlemen who, instead Of
putting on straw hats in May and
hatd-boiled derbies in September,
wrapped their heads In yards and
yards Of broeade and who wore
garments not unlike the smOck be-
loved Of Greenwich Village and the
Mother Hubbard of back country
esteem.
These chocolate-colored gentle
men were Abyssinians and their
unpronouncable names sounded
like the calling Of subway stations
by guards with head colds. One
Of these gentlemen had a family
tree that would make that of the
most blue-blooded colonial dame ap-
pear mere jimpson weed by con-
trast. For the chocolate eolored
gentleman was q lineal descendant
of King Solomon and the Queen Of
Sheba- And his highness, despite
his turban and smock and the fact
that he had never eaten buckwheat
cakes, Just couldn't talk about our
dances, they seemed to him so ut
terly and PROFESSIONALLY shocking.
A group Of reporters eoFnered
him and made him commit himself
to those good old standbys Of the
reviewer, "the beauty Of the Amer
lean girl" our skyscrapers, our
vast wealth, our high pressure
lives, ETC., etc. Then some one
asked him what he thought Of the
American dancing and the de-
scendant Of old King Solomon, who
was no saint according to tradition,
hastily fled from the room.
Not Talked About.
The American officer in charge
of the royal Abyssinians pursued
his highness and told him that ac-
cording to the customs Of civilized
America we thought nothing of
talking about such things; that the
"shimmy" was not taboo. Then the
chocolate colored prince returned
looking highly uncomfortable; he
was getting his coSmopolitanisn
so thick and fast that he could not
grasp the "shimmy" as q topic Of
polite conversation.
The reporter persisted. ain my

emily, "the high-born ladies look
on while the dancing girls dance,
but they do not talk about it in
public" Later he confessed that
our high-born ladies and gentle
men dancing such steps together
was "a great anazement-"

E0DERN dancing seems to be
W in much the same position
4'A the H. C. of L. The limit
has been reached and all that car
save the situation is a backward
swing of the pendulum.
The questionable "shimmy" was,
as some one amusingly put it,
'the end of the terminus" Decent
people were beginning to forego
dancing and it began to lose cast.
And while the new dances become
more bizarre and riseue, the peo-
pie eager to learn them repre-
Sented less and less the least Of
We're de We're" A stimulating
and most healthful form Of exer-
else threatened to go by the board.
Then "The American Association
Of Masters of Dancing" at their
annual convention in New York
last week got busy. Seeing their art
was likely to become the recreation
of the hoi-polloi they took mat
ters in hand and decided to "shoo
the shimmy" off the boards. They
are to put their appeal squarely
up to the manufacturers Of pho
nographs and ask them to assist
the association in its campaign
against vulgar and suggestive
dancing by discontinuing to dis
tribute jazz records that invite
these contortions.
.Fenton Bott, president OF the or
yanization saws: "Our campaign
will be in vain unless we can re-
form private affairs where Vic
trolas and monographs furnish
the music"
Return of the Waltz.
The old-fashioned waltz, after
being wholly disregarded for a
dozen or more years, is at last
coming back and with it the
equally venerable polka. The waltz
made its appearance at an impor-
tant dinner dance at New York
recently, and was so immediately
popular that a number of the mod
ern dances had to be cut to give
the old favOTite room.
The welcome given to this really
beautiful dance has induced other
hostesses TO exert their influence
toward reviving it. The question
able origin of many Of the gro
tesuue modern dances has never
seemed TO deter "nice people" from
dancing them with the utmost
gusto.
Some of them came from the
Barbary Coast in San Francisco,
some from the Apaches of Paris,
and a few of them went the Congo
cannibals one better in some Of
their so-called religious rites. Now
there always comes a time when
the clock strikes twelve. And then it
has to begin all over again and start
striking one again; that seems to
be the case with the Bunny Hug"
