 SEWARD MORNING
 OF JULY FOURTH

A salute of 21 guns will be fired at 6 o'clock Saturday morning, July f. reviving in Seward the custom of fir ing sunrise volley or salute in hon. or of the day. Martin Lanning, former Spanish-American war veteran, with an assistant, will be charge of this single occasion.

Gunner Kasson Has
 Hard Time In States

Gunnar Kasson, an Alaskan taking serum from Nenana to Nome last winter, has not had as good sledding outside as Solomon and his wife. On MT. Kasson's arrival at Los Angeles he got a contract at Leow's State theatre and after the completion of the contract the ghost refused to walk He appealed the matter to Ma jor Harry l.. Suydam, president of the Alaska Yukon Club, who went be- fore the State Labor Commission, who finally got settlement or compromise by which Kasson received S1,275. Mir. Kasson did not own the dog team he drove when taking in the serum, later purchased from the owners at San Francisco, and who featured Balto, the leader of the team instead of the driver thus side-stepping their con- tract with Kasson.

FORMER RAIDER AT HER MOORING
 IN BRISTOL BAY
ONCE THE PRIDE OF GERMAN NAVY IN ITS SECOND YEAR AS CANNERY VESSEL

The former German raider, the Prince Eitel Frederick" is still lay ing at her moorings at Naknek, Bris- tol Bay district converted into a cannery vessel. This is the second year the Libby, McNeil & Libby Co.,, owners of the vessel, have used the once famous and, said to be, one of the finest vessels of it's type in the world. Visitors to the far Westward the sight of the huge steel ship, ly- ing quietly at anchor, always aston ishes one and the exploits of the vessel during the World war, are generally recalled or related to them.
 The skeleton crew, now aboard the massive vessel, has it's choice of luxurious quarters, for with the exception of the removal of some of the beautiful oil paintings, cer- tain portions of the splendidly up hOlstered furniture, and the taking away of the finer grades of rare wood finishing, the ship is practic- ally the same as when 800 men were comfortably accommodated on the warship. The same quadruple ex- pansion reciprocating engines are in the engine room as when she raid ed vessels off the West coast ot South America All guns have long since been dismantled.

Nepal Has Freed SerVile Peoples
 From Enforced SerVitude

Washington, D. C., Feb. IT. -
 The Maharajah of Nepal has re- leased some 50.000 slaves - an amazing event in an amazing little country, which the National Geo. graphic society describes in the following bulletin based on com munication from John Claude White to its Washington, D. C., head quarters;
 "The Kingdom of Nepal lies among the Himalayan mountains, of which 1t owns fair share. It is one of the least known Asian states.
 "The road into Nepal Is purpose ly kept in a bad state of repair and runs over unnecessarily difficult country. The Nepalese are a prolific people of very great energy and &C., tivity, eager to make the most of any opportunity which offers it. self. The population is increasing so fast that outlets have to be found, and the trend of emigration now is to follow the foothills along Bhutan and into Assam.

POLISH CORRIDOR
 CAUSES TROUBLE
Frontier Strip Brings About
 Much Use of Profanity

Marienburg, East Prussia, Feb. IT. The Polish Corridor has probably been the promoter of more profanity than any other creation of the Yer sailes treaty. It separates East Prussia entirely from the rest of Germany, being narrow strip of territory which connects Poland with the Baltic Sea. Therefore all rail- way travel to Russia and the new Baltic states, as well as East Prussia. must pass over this corridor and no body can enter Danzig from the west by land without touching Polish soil.
 While Polish visas are required for all persons who wish to enter Danzig by rail from the west, few travellers going from Berlin or other cities in the west know of this regulation. Danzig is a free city. No Danzig visa Is necessary to enter that city. Con- sequently tourists assume that a trip from Hamburg or Berlin to DanZig does not involve any border diff cuties. But there Is great disillu- sionment when they reach the Polish | Corridor. All passengers destined for Danzig, who have no Polish visa, are locked into cars which are seal ed while the trains stop in Danzig and are not unlocked until the train reaches German soil again in this city.
 Consequently, Marienburg has be- come a popular refuge for travellers who have no Polish chop on their passports. This city has become the chief station on an underground rail- way leading into Danzig, and on an average so motorcars daily leave Marienburg for Danzig. taking a highway which does not touch Polish territory between Marienburg and DanZig.
 This traffic in amazed passengers who are scarcely able to understand what the mystery Is all about is in no sense illegal. It is merely a clever subterfuge which enables per sons desirous of entering Danzig to dodge the irregular-shaped corridor created by the Versailles conference in such a manner as to enable Po- land to control important railway functions.
 A motorcar or carriage taking the | highway south from Danzig to Mar Iienburg. distance of less than 30 miles, must pass through six differ ent control stations. By taking side roads further to the east than the main road. and crossing the River Vistula on a primitive ferry, 1t is possible to avoid all these controls and enter the Free City of Danzig without question.
 Marienburg hotels are always crowded with persons who are try ing to get into Danzig. Every train from the west side of the corridor brings many surprised passengers who thought they were on their way to Danzig, but were not allowed to stop in the city. Day and night mo- torcars are running to Danzig.

 Women Dress In Riotous Colors
 "The Nepalese women wear yards upon yards-sometimes as many as hundred-of fine muslin plaited to form a huge shaped bunch in front. the back being quite tight When 6 lady of rank drives in her barouche she completely fills the carriage with her voluminous skirt of brilliant hue. Above the skirt vived little tight-htting jacket, usually of velvet, is worn; the hair Is dressed in peculiar knot in front. above the forehead. and fas- tened to one side by an enormous gold plaque with a jeweled center, A heavy gold necklace and gold bangles complete her jewelry.
 Every imaginable shade is used purple. pale blue, green, carmine, orange, white, yellow, turquoise. and deep red-and the effect is wonder full.
 Though slavery Is abolished the castes remain. The inhabitants of Nepal are collectively known as Paharias' or 'dwellers In the Hills The principal castes among the Gurkhas, now the dominant race, follow in order of social precedence:
 The following are known as high caste;

STANDARDIZING IS
 SLOW IN EUROPE
Effort to Reduce Production Costs Makes Hcadway Only Slowly; Ger
 many Making For This Goal.

Berlin, Feb. IT. - Germany is struggling to establish general standardization in industries. and the progress which has been made was reported upon recently at a meeting of industrialists.
 Dr. F. Neuhaus, director general of the Borsig Works, who Is chair man of the standardization com ittee. gave a survey of last years efforts. Tools have been stand ardized to considerable extent. One great forward step has been the standardization of threads on pipes.
 Industrialists in England, Holland, Austria and Switzerland are inter- ested in extending the idea of stand- ardization all over Europe, in the hope of reducing production costs.
