 The answer came as follows: William Paul,
 Ketchikan, Alaska,
 Your telegram sixth Dan on way Alaska submitted matter to Holland Of Department of Justice he took 1t up with attorney general and wired Shoup complaint had been made and to give matter his attention and re- port. Have transmitted your wire to Dan at Hotel Frye and when he reaches Ketchikan will no doubt see you and send detailed letter to de- partment
 H. E. SUTHERLAND,
 Secretary to Delegate from Alaska.
 The only trouble with that is the investigation is left to MT. Shoup, the boss of Mr. Gore. If MT. Shoup will telegraph the facts, then we will find out if Attorney-General Stone for the United States will stand for a blacklist published and maintained by federal office holders
 This outrage cannot be allowed to rest here. A crime has been com mitted. These matters must be at tended to by the Grand Jury and proper action taken.

 Alaska; and it has so happened that the entire character of our Legisla- ture had depended upon the kind of persons elected and sent by Nome.
 l am not personally acquainted with the people of Nome, and so cannot give you a sketch of the candidates who are running. But one thing that I can do, I can tell you something about the members of the last legislature, and then the people of Nome can judge the new candidates for Birds of a feather flock together"
 Nome has always been progressive in intention. Every person coming from Nome has run as a Progressive whether they were known as Republi- cans, Democrats or Independents.
 But these candidates did not stay progressive in actions when they reached Juneau, for some of them still talked progressive while acting reactionary.
 The key men this year are Sena- tor Fred Ayers and Senator Charles w. Brown, the latter being a can didate for reelection and the former a hold-over. Opposing Senator Brown, an independent, is Mrs. Welch, running as a Republican. And because she is a candidate who is entirely to close to Senator Ayers socially, and it will throw light upon what she will probably do in Juneau if elected, I will print in part the record of Senator Ayers.
 The issue at Nome was a "decent workmens compensation act" All candidates were pledged to that. Such a bill was introduced in the Senate by MT. Brown. It was mod eled after the United States Act under which the Alaska Railroad was built; and the Panama Canal, and under which all the transcon- tinental railroad lines are operating. The act was endorsed by the Fedora tion for Labor Legislation. The principle has been adopted by many states including California, Mime sota, Michigan and New York. The bill provided for payments of 65 per cent of their wages to beneficiaries for life or during disability. It pro- vided for hospital and medical eX- pense, including transportation to hospitals.
 Senator Fred Aver voted against this bill and so the bill was lost by the vote of four to four.
 Then this Senator who talks like a progressive but votes with the re- dictionaries introduced the old Alas ka Compensation Act and proposed an amendment increasing the a. mounts 30 per cent, but restricting

IHdue udlI-Wdy T0SpocCdOl0 Oy making it to apply to all employees, extend ing the time when claim could be filed, and compelling the employer to pay for temporary disability as long as the injury lasts.
 No other improvements could be made in this bill because of Sena- tor Ayers and he had the deciding vote.
 The serious defects in the present law which are still there because of Senator Aver are: there is no time set in which the employer must pay the benefits provided; there is no guarantee that the employer will insure his risk; the benefits pro- vided can be defeated by bankruptcy; no medical or hospital or travel ex- pense is allowed. This last omis- sion is such that oftentimes nothing is left for the injured man after paying the doctor bill.
 The voters of Nome should con- sider MT. Ayers record when he asks them to vote for his friend Mrs. Welch, who is otherwise a very fine lady.
 How did Senator Aver vote on tax measures? Did he consider the de- mands of the small business men? Did he protect the large companies Did he represent the big mining company of which he is the manager as against the people who elected him to represent them? Will his friend Mrs. Welch follow his lead?
 The mining companies are not tax ed unless they make net profit of $10,O0O, after deducting better ments and improvements. Then upon the first million dollars of net pro- fit, mines are taxed $15,O0O. The proposal was made to tax the mines $5,OOO on the first $5OO,O0O net profits; tax a total of $12,5OO on the first million; then 7,5OO tax on each million above the first mil lion. A mine that makes net pro- fit of $2,OOO,OOO would then pay a tax of S30,00O.
 Senator Aver voted against this proposal because he said that was too big tax. He thought $2O,000 was enough. When this Senator saw that he was outvoted, voting with Chamberlin and Dimond in the minority, he asked permission to change his vote ''to save the re- cord"
 He talks like a progressive but he votes with the reactionaries. Read the story of old man Isaac in the book of Genesis: when Jacob fooled the old man, Isaac said, "Your voice is the voice of Jacob, but your hands (camouflaged by goats hair) are the hands of Esau"

The Pybus Bay Floater Trap No. 3, east of Cape Bendel, Kupreanof Island, was arrested for fishing dur ing the closed season.
 ;. <
 Miss Dorothy Brandon, twenty years old, of Martinsburg, ", was tarred and feathered for being caught with her arm around Lloyd Shank, husband of Mary.
 A trap belonging to the Beegle Packing Company has been arrested for fishing during the closed season, and about 22,OOO fish were released. The trap is undoubtedly guilty as charged, but the packing company has offered a good moral defense even if the law is such that it may not be good legal one, towit: that the watchman deserted his post without notifying the packing com pany.

Some day the Juneauites will quit trying to keep the capital for the benefit of one or two prominent citizens, and perhaps then, Juneau will get a federal building.

cluSiVely for belted effects, while
Martial eft Armand include belted and
unbelted frocks in their autumn COL
lection. And SO it goes. The truth
of the matter is that the prominent
dressmakers of Paris know their
public too well to attempt any very
drastic change. Undoubtedly they
would welcome changes almost rev.
olutionary.
A revival of interest in the vio-
let and pansy shades is note
worthy together with a continued in
terest in copper and rust tones. But
there is wide difference in the color
choice Of the different prominent and
influential designers this autumn.
With Chanel of Paris Chinese blue,
claret. green. brown and tan prevail
over all other colors. Patou has a
rosewood. Nile green and an al
sinthe of distinction. With the Miller
Soeurs browns and fuchsia tones are
recommended above others. Agnes
is inclined to grecns--adding many
copper tones and rusSet browns for
daytime, with pink and white for eve
ming and black for all occasions.
Black and reddish browns are most
striking with Bechoff, while Geor-
gette uses violets. blue green's, cop
for day colors, with pink combined
with blue for evening and plaids for
sport attire.
Evening star., 1924-08-31

Renee selects violet for highest
honors for daytime wear, with
browns and green's for the more con-
servative, while for evening she uses
q palette on which are spread a wide
range of mauve and violet blendings.
And so one might continue at great
ength-enumerating the color pref
erence Of dozens of influential French
dressmakers. 1t is quite enough for
most of US to note that browns of
a warm coppery sort are especially
liked for day time, that while bright
red appears here and there. especially
as trimming on navy blue or black,
it Is not likely to be so highly ia
vored this autumn as it has been this
summer. and that for evening vio-
lets and the combination of pink and
blue will deprive yellow-such a
prominent evening shade this sum-
mer-of some of it's prestige.
In this country, you doubtless
know, the three colors that have been
especially selected for autumnal
favor are shutter green-self eI-
planatory-a Ventian fuchsia which
is rich red purple. and burnt rus
set, blending Of orange and brown.

hideous or queer shapes. How do
we get to look like thatr we ask.
The magic" is all in the manufac-
ture of the mirror. Before a looking
glass is shipped from a factory 1t is
examined by an expert for flaws. If
a defect, no matter how slight, is
found, the mirror is not saleable as 4

Here it may be used for a number
of things. Sometimes it Is broken up
for small mirrors. More often it Is

sponsibility of driving a passenger
train.
The reason for this long training
is that the engineer must be so care
fully schooled and become so accus-
toned to the locomotive through the
years of practice that he is able to
sense danger and act quickly with
almost a sixth sense which tells him
what to do.
There is the story told of an engi-
neer on a Western road who saved
his train through the use of his high
ly developed sense of smell, devel-
oped as a result of his years on the
road.
One foggy night he was driving
his train along at his usual high rate
of speed, and everything was ap-
parently going well. Suddenly, to his
fireman's great surprise. he slowed
down the train and began creeping
ahead cautiously. The fireman could
see nothing alarming on the track
ahead.
Then out of the fog loomed the red
tail light of caboose. A train ahead
was travelling slowly. If they had
not stopped just in time they would
have run iRtvit and there would
have been a serious wreck. The
train ahead, as they afterwards dis
covered, had got it's orders mixed and
had no business there at all.

A Desert Railway.

THE Australian government has
undertaken the construction of
. transcontinental railway that will
great country. The land is SO level
cross the largest desert of that
that no tunnels, deep cuts or steep
grades and few culverts and bridges
are required Sand dunes are the
greatest obstruction. one belt Of dune
being 20 miles wide.
/ The remarkable thing about the
railway is that 1t lies in a region un-
inhabite even by aborigines. where
the real task of the engineer is to
provide water; grading and track
laying are incidental.
The returns which the government
expects to get from the trafiic on the
transcontinental line are an insig-
nificant fraction of the cost of build
ing and upkeep, but the political and
strategic values of the railway are
immense. 1t shortens the distance
from London to Melbourne or Sydney
by nearly q week. and likewise de-
creases the time between West Aus
tralia and New Zealand or America
1t brings the western half of the
continent in touch with the eastern
by converting strenuous two
month overland journey from Ade-
laide to Perth into comfortable

So it is interesting-is it MOTTO OBJ

not at all unanimous about their in

They seem extremely cautious

times they compromise by making
two horizontal lines. one at the hips
and one a trifle above the normal
waistline. Most ingenious is Renee.
