POLYCLIV|C STARTS UP IN SEATTLE TO
 HELP ALASKANS

Many Alaskan who have been in tending to visit Mayo Brothers inst tuition at Rochester, Minnesota, may now have their ills diagnosed and surgical operations performed at the Polyclinic, 509 American Bank Build ing, Seattle, where clinic of six able physicians and surgeons, has been started.
 The physicians and surgeons com posing this clinic, are such we'll known men as c. L. Templeton, Kenneth J Holtz, Earle F. Ristine, Homer Vince lon, c. F. Davidson, and H. J. David son, all of whom are among the best in their lines to be found on the Coast.
 Many Alaskans who have been treated at the Polyclinic are loud in praise of benefits received, and there is no doubt but that the institution will be Hberally patronized by North erners, who have heretofore made the long and expensive trip to Mayo Brothers because they knew of no other like institution.
 The institution has one of the most complete X-ray laboratories on the Coast. Dr. Ristine. one of the staff, was with Mayo Bros. for number of years and his confreres are equally as we'll known.

BELkOFSKY CITIZENS DONATE FREELY
 ID RED CROSS

There is a tiny, gray village far to the westward where the Red Cross is so greatly appreciated, because of it's unstinted assistance to Alaskans, that voluntary subscription of s35 has come in to the Seward chapter.
 This little village is Belkofsky and it's population numbers 42 men, wom- en and children. Situated on the slope of a high headland, and under the influence of Mt Pavlof, with it's thin tongue of smoke perpetually be- smirching the sky, Belkofsky comes to the front, lending inspiration to the Red Cross workers and setting an ex- ample that every village and city will be surely anxious to emulate.
 The people there are only fishers and trappers and it has not been a good season for fishing. Some of the men earned only $6 the whole season, but they gave part of that s6 to the Red Cross.
 Father Hotovitzky is the guiding influence in this work; he welcomes the visit of the Red Cross nurse and co-operates with her in every possible way. As yet little has been accom- plished; in fact a survey of the chill dren and notes of their needs is all that has been done in this far place But when the news came of the influ- enza the nurse, Miss Stella Fuller, took the first Starr to the westward; the epidemic had somewhat subsided when she arrived. but the interest shown by the Red Cross will not soon be forgotten.
 Thirty-five dollars is a noble sum to come from such a small, remote and little visited village; every cent of it is received with a double meas ure of appreciation because it came unsolicited and before the Roll Call
 Let everyone follow the good exam pie of Belkofsky and give in full mea- sure, as they have done before. These folk face a long winter and they have not many resources, nor much laid by, yet they gave a part of their $6 and we who have many times s6 should give in proportion.
 Remember the Roll Call in Novem- Der.

TWO WOMEN AT
 JUNEAU SLAIN;
 FIGHTER |S HELD

JUNEAU, September 27-Harry Battling" Johnson, of Alberta, Cana da, who claims to be an amateur well terweight champion, was arrested here this morning charged with the murder of Hilda Weiss and Billy Mason, whose bodies were found in a local underworld resort Monday morn ing.
 Johnson protested that he was in- nocent. He admitted in signed state ment that he was in the resort, but claims that he found both women dead when he arrived.
 The women, whose bodies contain ed several bullet wounds, came here from Ketchikan last April, and open a cigar store in Lower Front street, in back of which, authorities say, a house of prostitution flourished.
 Johnson was a headliner in the main boxing bouts at three of the Am erican Legion smokers this summer.

STANDARD DOWN 350
 FEET 0N THE LEE CLAIM

According to reliable reports re- ceived, the Standard Oil drillers have penetrated the w. G. Lee claim in the West field at Cold Bay to a depth of $50 feet and are still going strong.
 The size of the hole has been re- duced, it is reported, with an even break in the run of luck, better pro- gress should be made, although the formation is still very hard.
 The company's road from Becharof Lake to the seepage has been com pleted and good progress is being made by the Standard on its road to the Lathrop claim.
 The heavy construction work on the Alaska Road Commission road out of Kanatak is practically completed. This road has been completed over the summit and work is continuing toward the lake.

 The body of an unidentified woman found floating near Prince Rupert last week is believed by Anchorage citi zens to be that of Miss Mollie Iver- son, who disappeared off the Alameda in that vicinity about month ago
 Miss Iverson visited in Anchorage for nearly month prior to her de parture to the States, and soon after her disappearance her brother, MT Nearhouse, left for Seattle to investi- gate the case. It is believed the girl became seasick, and leaning over the rail to vomit, swooned and fell over.

 Alaskas future was painted in a most optimistic way and Capt Dan Dancey told his audience that Sew. ard could share, largely in that future if the people of Seward would break down these barriers of prejudice and personal jealousy and work together for the good of Seward.
 Following the address meeting of the Legion and Auxiliary was called and there was a good presentation. Plans were discussed for the coming season and progressive program for Legion and Auxiliary activities out lined. That the Legion would become an active force in the life of the com munity, was Captain Dancey's sugges- tion The men who who fought and saved America in days of war, were entitled to a first pace in the plans that meant for the con 5olidation of peace One of the interesting features of the meetings at the Liberty and at the church was the first public exhi- bition of the new silk standards, the gift of Commander SHettman Capt.
