THE SEWARD ATTITUDE

When MT. W. A. Ryan, who came to Alaska at the request of Secre- tary of the Interior Lane, to make 3 survey of the natural resources cf the territory, visited Anchorage, he was given every consideration and courtesy He had a right, de- clares the Anchorage Times, to eX- pect courteous treatment at the hands of our people, because he represented a big, broad statesman who is doing everything within his power to develop the resources of Alaska, and who is AlaSSa's true friend and well-wisher. MT. Ryan's report on this country will carry great weight with the secretary, be- cause the two have long been per sonal friends and have confidence in each other Anchorage, aside from it's natural hospitality, looked upon Mr. Ryan as a parsonage who would be able to do us much good in material way It is reasonable to suppose, in view of the cordiality which Fairbanks, Nenana and An chorage extended to Mr Ryan, that he departed from these communi- ties with good impression.
 But upon arrival at Seward, where a peculiar situation" exists, the visit of Mir. Ryan. instead of evoking cordiality, got quite the reverse. The local paper sought to attack and ridicule him. as it has attacked and ridiculed the Engin- eering commission. At a meeting of the chamber of commerce over there, Mir. Ryan was invited to speak, and he did speak-quite frankly. Following his talk be- fore the chamber, he was again ridiculed.
 Is it any wonder that govern ment officials have no use for the Resurrection Bay town? Is it the part of wisdom to attack and con- demn government representatives who may be able to do this coun- try a great deal of good? These government men are human. They wish to be treated with common decency and respect, to which they are entitled. In behalf of An chorage, we wish to say that Sew ard, in it's puerile attacks on these visiting government representatives speaks only for itself It does not represent the true opinion of Alas ka, and Alaska should not be held responsible for them. If Seward wishes to befoul it's own nest, that IS up to it. It is our affair only as far as it affects the development of this part of Alaska.

lust CLOTHES
A Film Stars Wardrobe Runs the
Ganut from Velvet to Rags

A Film Stars Wardrobe Runs the
Ganut from Velvet to Rags
From the habiliments OF a queen to
the rags of a beggar-that's the
wardrobe of female star OF the
motion pictures. The man star has
perhaps dozen suits of clothes,
few pairs of shoes and half a dozen
hats, but the female of the species
has literally tons of sartorial adorn-
ments, and with every picture she
adds to the collection.
Not only do styles change, but
every picture calls for new outtlt,
and a stars day of crest" between
pictures are taken up almost entirely
with modistes and others who contrl-
butte to the camouflaging of the hui
man form.
And the hard part of it is that al
most at any moment a hat, gown,
pair of shoes or an old rag may come
in handy. Motion picture stars have
no business with the old clothes man,
for the dress she sells today she may
need badly tomorrow. She gives
away many clothes, but they are gen
orally gowns such as misses wear
high school girls who fall in love with
some outfit they see their favorite
star dressed in and beg it of her.
And the shoes are as numerous as
the gowns. Bessie Barriscale has
literally hundreds of pairs of all kinds
and descriptions. Shoes are her
hobby, but she says that every pair
in her wardrobe is useful to her.
There is as much character in a pair
of shoes, according to Bessie, as there
is in ones face and she AYERS that
she can come very near accurately
reading character by closely exam
ing a pair of footgear.
Parasols, gloves, handbags, hats,
hose and accessories are as necessary
to have at hand as gowns and shoes,
and the money that goes into lingerie
and negligees amounts to a small for
tune in a years time. Miss Barris-
Gale says she values what she calls
her character clothes" more than her
evening gowns, furs and gala attire,
for she has been fifteen years col
lecting these things, whereas a new
evening gown is only a matter of a
visit to the modiste.
Her collection Of hats is a joy to
the lover of freakish headgear, and
there are several specimens that are
worth their weight in gold. Some of
her bonnets of the periods of 1910 to
1880 are as rare specimens is Godey's
Ladies' Book ever depicted upon it's
artistic pages. Furs are, of course,
the most expensive items and Miss
Barirscale has a fortune tied up in
i hers, a wonderful set of sables and
blue fox coat being the artisocrats
of her collection.
If it were not for clothes, declares
Bessie, the picture star would be far
happier and lot richer, for clothes
are agreat care and must have con-
slant attention.

the clothing that best becomes them
we will develop some extremely pref

is simply a matter of choosing colors

FLEET CAN NOW
MAKE COAST TO
COAST IN u DAYS
Comparisons with Atlantic
Fleet That Encircled
World in 1908

SAN FRANCISCO, July 31-While
the Atlantic fleet on it's famous cruise
around the world in 1908 was 14l
days, hours enroute from Hampton
Roads, Va, to San Francisco, the
new Pacific fleet now enroute from
Hampton Roads is scheduled to ar
rive at San Francisvo in 27 days from
the date of sailing. This is one OF
the interesting comparisons of the
two fleets which have been made here
The Atlantic fleet went around
Cape Horn. The Pacific fleet comes
through the Panama canal, not COM
pleted when the Atlantic fleet made
It's cruise.
The actual sailing time for the At
lantic feet was 81 days 10 hours. The
Pacific fleet is expected to make the
trip to San Francisco in about Is
or 10 days actual sailing time.
In 1903 the American navy had no
airplanes or seaplanes. 1t had few
destrOyers and less submarines.
The Atlantic fleet comprised 1G
battleships with a flotilla of torpedo
boats. The new Pacific fleet approx
mates 1876 vessels of all classes.
When Admiral Evans led his fleet
in parade here in May 1908 his flag
ship led but AZ vessels of all descrip-
tons. President Wilson is scheduled
to review a Pacific fleet of more than
$50 vessels here in August of this
year.
The old Atlantic fleet carried a.
600 men. The Pacific will bring 25,-
900.
The Atlantic fleet was valued at
approximately $1O0,000,0O0. The
Pacific fleet represents expenditures
of several times that amount.

SENSIBLE TREATMENT OF HEN
Indispensable Requirements for Sue
cess Are Comfortable Quarters
and Good Feed.

It makes no difference to a canary
whether it is kept in a cage that cost
$40 or 10 cents, or whether it has its
feed and drink in china or earthen
dishes; but it makes an immense diff
ference whether ii has good care or
is neglected, and whether or not its
needs are properly supplied. These
things are equally true of a hen.
Sensible treatment is of far greater
Importance than stylish quarters.
A fine equipment should not be de-
spised. 1t can be so used as to be
of great value. Still it is not one
of tho vital things. The Indispensable
requirements for success in the poul-
try business are good stock; comfort
able and hcalthful quarters; feed anu
drink of good quality, in proper guam
tity and at suitable times; and full
protection from diseases and enemies.

Corinne Griffith Tells Her
Experience of Shopping
Along Fifth Avenue

"Women's dresses and gowns arc
prettier this season than ever before
This is the decision of Corrine Grif-
fifth after making an extensive
shopping tour to secure fourteen
dresses to use in her latest picture,
"Thc Bramble Bush"
The movie star devoted a whole
week to the task. She visited virtu-
ally all the higt grade department
stores in New York. She window
shopped" at many other places. 1t
is estimated that her machine covered
a hundred miles going up and down
Broadway, Fifth avenue, Thirty
fourth and Forty-second streets on
her shopping tour.
"The prices have advanced, of
course" remarked the young woman,
discussing her experience, "but the
designs this season are just fine.
There are varieties enough to suit
all tastes and ages. There is the
long narrow skirt with the cuff effect
which is finding favor with many
and there is the shorter walking skirt
for those who do not fancy the long
one.

colors and shades this season vary
