 Topples "In Flanders Fields were immortalized in poem, and are imprinted on the memory of every man who trod the battlefields of Northern France. The flower is a symbol of the graves of American soldiers on French soil, where the flowers grew in great profusion.
 The flowers are made by the widows and orphans of France and all funds derived from their sale go in the widows and orphans fund.

Alaska to Observe Seward Day
 Tomorrow as Holiday

Tomorrow, the 54th anniver- sary of the signing of the treaty with Russia for the pur- chase of Alaska for $7.200,000, will be observed as Seward Day" The day was made a holiday in the Territory by an act of the Territorial Legis- lature of the session of 1917, the bill being introduced by Senator Frank A. Aldrich.
 It was on March 30, 1867, that Secretary of State William H. Seward, having previosly consulted with resident An drew Johnson, who was heartily in accord with him in the project, affixed his signature to the document that added this vast and rich Territory to the United States. Secretary Sew ard said in after years that he considered the purchase of Alaska the greatest act of his life, but it would take the coun- try a generation to find it out.
 In observance of Seward Day public offices, banks and various business houses of the city will remain closed all day tomorrow.

AIMING EXHIBIT FROM N0RTHLAND URGED BY RIGGS
Legislature Receives Message Relative to Resource Ex-
 hibition at Chicago.

h communication received by both houses of the Territorial Legis lature this morning from Gov Riggs the advisability was urged of send ing exhibits of minerals and other Alaskan resources to the National Mining Exposition to be held by the American Mining Congress at Chicago at it's annual convention October r to 22 inclusive. The Governor suggested that the Legis lature appropriate S2,OOO to cover the expense incidental to getting the, exhibit to Chicago and back to Alaska
 Liberal to Alaska
 It is expected by the American Mining Congress that the exhibit from the various states to it's expo sition will be more representative and greater than ever before assem- bled under it's auspices and will be viewed by approximately 100000 visitors, mining men and others. In the case of Alaska. the organization while desiring a complete mineral display, has made an exception not applicable to any other state or Ter ritory in that it has decided to ac- cept exhibits of other Alaskan re- sources than minerals.
 The Governors Plan
 The Governor submitted to the Legislature copies of telegrams from officials of the American Con gress, and assurances of support from a committee of Alaskans in Seattle. headed by Falcon Joslyn and from the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. In his communication, Gov. Riggs stated:
 "I believe that we should not miss this opportunity to show to capital awaiting investment what we have to offer.
 "I do not believe it will be neces sary to provide an appropriation fol the collection of exhibits, but there might well be created board with authority to receive from any rec ognied commercial body within the Territory collections representative of the resources of it's particular district, the territory to pay trans portation charges only from the point of assemblage of the collee tions to Chicago and return to Alas | ka. All the collections presented to become the property of the Ter ritory and after they have served their purpose in Chicago to bt 1 placed in the Territorial Museum and so become available for exhibi at other expositions. It will be LII to the local commercial bodies tt see that its district is properly ad vertised. An appropriation of S2.OOt should be sufficient to defray freigh charges, and I have no doubt tha the Alaska Bureau of the Seattl, Chamber of Commerce would b, willing to supply the necessary at tendance in connection with thei own exhibit"

JUAL|N MINES
 ARE F|NANCED;
 OPERATE SOON
President Vanophem Says Work Will Be Resumed on
 The Long Tunnel, Mill.

That work will be resumed sons on development of the property oi the Jualin Mining Company at Der ners Bay. is the news received 6} H. L. Faulkner from Jean Vano phem, president of the company, to day. MT. Vanophem made the an nouncement in a letter from New York City to Mir Faulkner legal representative of the company in the North.
 MT. Vanophem said he has just completed the reorganization of the Jualin Mining Company in New York City and that it is now fin anced by American capital Previ ously the company was a Belgian concern with Belgian and French capital interested. With the lower. ing in value of the franc it was necessary to stop development work until such time as it had come back to normal or some other financial arrangements had been made. The way out was seen in the reorgania- tion and refnancing of the com pany as an American concern.
 Reorganization Delayed
 MT, Vanophem said reorganization work had been somewhat delayed by the death of his wife at San Francisco. but that he had been in New York some time and had made all the arrangements and was about ready to leave again for the West and Alaska
 According to MT. Vanophem. the first work to be done on the prop. erty will be the completion of the 7,000-foot drainage and tramming tunnel. half of which is now driven. Following this work will be the erec- tion of mill. The mill building will perhaps not be built this sea son, but will have been erected by the time tonnage in the mine has been developed.
 Known to Be Rich
 The Jualin mines in Berners Bay were operated for a number of years and are known as a very rich prop ertv. They were taken under con, trol by the Jualin Mining Company several years ago and have had a rather checkered career since that time on account of the war in Flu. rope, owing to the fact that the owners were residents of Belgium and France. The little stamp mill on the property was burned down year ago but there are many buildings remaining, including power houses and bunk houses. The prin cipal problem that has faced the owners has not been the quality oi the rock. but one of water. It is thought completion of the drainage tunnel will solve that
