every day of that waiting time, while
she lived in an American douchboy's
dugout, Madame Perignon poked
about in the ruins Of the home that
sheltered all her memories. She
found a store of francs she had
buried when the Germans came. Each
day some little remembrance came to
light. A brass nameplate from her
organ, burned and twisted,-a black
ened earring-the ivory facings OF q
set OF dominoes--a glass cup melted
by the heat Of the flames that had
followed the shell-fire.
One single fragment Of china was
all that remained Of her table serv-
ice; there was the brass face Of her
clock-here battered skillet-thefe
the iron castor from bed. All these
bits-and more-she collected. When
her new home was finished she
placed them. with photographs Of her
husband and son, in q glass cabinet.
This collection today represents al
that she has to remind her, in her
lonely old age, Of the home she knew
before the wsr came.

"I-don't think 30, dear Mrs.

"Pity you wouldn't take him. We
were all so pleased that he had fall

girl" Her voice roughened on q
sob. "But that's all over now, Of
course" she went on determinedly.
you're married and happily. It's
refreshing to see a man SO devoted
as your Bob. I've heard rumors. but
maybe it's just Selma's way Of re-
porting things, that Cherry was
likely to make trouble for you there,
free-spoken old woman who may
learn some day to ind her own
business" she scolded herself as her
keen eyes noted that Faiths face
flooded with color. Nov, tell me
that's dear-whether / should try
to discourage George if he seems to
get at all serious. Naturally you can
imagine how we feel-the trial and
Cherry's unfortunate marriage, the
baby and all"
81 do know Faith acknowledged
despairingly. "But, oh Mrs. Pruitt,
I know also that Cherry is innocent
of any really evil action. She has
simply been the victim Of series
of unfortunate circumstances. She
was cleared Of the murder charge, as
you know, and her separation from
her husband was Chris fault, not
hers. She had been infatuated with
him for months. and married him
because she could not help herself.
She found that he wasn't worthy
and later that she was going to have
a baby. That's all. There's really
nothing to blame Cherry for, except
her beauty and her impulsiveness
Please try to be fair to Cherry, Mrs.
Pruitt."
"All right" The older woman rose
abruptly, then stopped to kiss Faith
on the lips. you're jewel of a
sister, my dear. l wish you'd taken
my George"

IS VISITING DAUGHTER

Mrs. Marie Boyer and daughters Ann, II: and Jean, '; passed thru Seward unnoticed by The Gateway on the Southbound Farragut. Mrs. Boy CT is the wife of E. H Boyer, deputy U. s. marshal stationed at Kodiak. She will visit her sister and other relatives in Los Angeles until Christ mas and perhaps little longer. Her eldest daughter Bettie, whom she longs to see has been attending high school in the Angel city more than a year and is now a Junior.

QUARTET IF HUNTERS
 BAGS OE TROPHIES
 SOUTHBOUND TON|TE
HAVE BEEN UNDER SPECIAL CARE OF ALASKA GLACIER
 ASSOCIATION

Vith e1iSiA "o4 oe'S0 AAA " oN Ibrim with one of the choicest lots ot big game specimens ever to have |secured or taken out the Territory there will arrive in Seward this even ing a quartet of hunters whom the
 citizens of this immediate vicinity
 are rather reluctant to see depart,
 namely, pr. H. c. Harper of New
 castle, Pa, H. Tom Cottam of New
 Orleans, Norman Marshall of Still River, Mass, .,and, as he said to The Gateway himself, not the noted, but perhaps the notorius (Captain Billy) Capt. w. H. Fawcett of the State of Minnesota.
 For number of weeks past they have been hunting in the Kenai pen- insula and in the Chickaloon districts
 under the auspices of the Alaska Gla- cier Tours association and from re- ports drifting to Seward from those sections visited by the quartet, they have met with 100 per cent good luck, getting choice specimens of every kind of an animal they had hoped to procure. Just what trophies are being taken home today The Gateway could not ascertain at this writing but it has been known they are leaving for home with something to brag about
 The fame of the record-breaking sheep head pr. Harper bagged in the Chickaloon hunt has preceded his arrival in Seward by many days. It is said the doctor obtained two magni- ficent sheep, two goats and two fine bears.
 MT. Marshall, who entered the Ter ritory via Cordova and the Richard son highway, was on his way down the Alaska Railroad from Fairbanks, enroute to Kodiak after a big brown bear, but was enticed from this trip when he pumped into this gang \of other hunters. Their wonderful suc- cess, and the efficient professional guides, was more than his sporting blood could stand so he joined up, and is tickled pink he did.
 Then there is this man from little old New Orleans (what recollections that name recalls) MT. Cottam. He
 cewise is homsward- bound with bag of trophies which would put the hunter to shame.
 Captain Fawcett, aside from being the man guilty of publishing that ever- growing g-in-popularity magazine ''Whiz Bang" copy of which is finding it's way into every household, is the same man who, explained the champion trap shooting team at the Olympics games, three years ago. The Gateway hesitates in hazarding guess how he and the big game came out. Suffice to say his trophy room will be swelled considerably when he comes waltzing home from the, al- legged hard and cruel North.

The Cost of Electricity.
lchr.gtian Science Ison.tor. )


 The patient ultimate consumer, upon whose shoulders rests the burden of charges for services rendered by the public utility corporations, that with the rapid growth of American cities have assumed such enormous proportions, knows little or nothing as to whether his monthly bills are fair and reasonable, otherwise There IS a schedule of rates according to which he pays If he thinks that some particular service costs too much he grumbles, perhaps writes to some public official or to newspaper, and continues to pay.
 The fact that the companies engaged in sup plying gas electric light and power have in re cent years so greatly perfected their productive plants as to be in position substantially to reduce production costs is pointed to as proof or the wisdom of the policy of granting monopolies to private concerns for undertakings requiring a public franchise for their operation. How far these improvements have been due to better man. agement, to the new discoveries ana lnven- tons that have made for greater efficiency, can not we'll be determined. What the consumer is interested in is whether he is getting any bene- fits out of the decreased cost of production And here it develops that the chief obstacle to lowering of utility charges is the relatively niTh cost of distribution
 In the course of the discussion of the prob able future course of the movement toward anal gamation of public utility companies, particularly those supplying electric light and power, into few great combinations, it has been claimed that the result of these mergers would De ae crease in costs Assuming tnls lo pe 'he 'eoo it by no means follows that the consumers woui' nav lower charges. By far the larger part O inc average bill for light or power represent distribution costs Thus it is stated, for instance that of the charge by leading electric ngh company of the East of eight cents per kilowat hour one cent represented the cost or prouuc ing the electricity and the other seven cents rep rosanted the cost of distribution. From whiel | it would appear that the real problem or tn consumer is the possibility of improvement distribution methods, corresponding to those Una have so greatly reduced production costs.

The Monument!
(Sitka Progress. ]

(Sitka Progress.
 The Territory of Alaska, 59OSS4 square miles was purchased by the United States in 1867 for S7 100000. Since the discovery of gold at Ju- neau in 1880 (the great Klondke rush through Skagway into Canadian territory and Upper Yukon began in 1S97) up to January 1924, $S40,955074 of gold, nearly two-thirds Of II from placer mines-nearly enough to pay for the cost of the Panama Canal estimated total $375,- GOO 000 But this is not all the gold that Alaska produces. Indirectly, there have been millions of dollars worth of furs and other min erals and there billions yet to be taken out of Alaskas hide.
 Copper taken from Alaska, totals $15S,- 1O915S and other mineral produced brings the total yield up to $517 ,627 113. The United States Geological Survey estimates the value or the re served placer gold to be at least $360,O00,oOo this in addition to gold in veins that could not he estimated There are large coal deposits which are not fully developed United States Navy tests show the Alaska coal equal in steam ing value to Pocahontas coal

 From surplus timber to be cut in Alaska under contracts made this year. the United States Treasury will receive. $S,700,O0 or $1,50O,ooo more than that country paid for Alaska when u purchased the Territory from Russia
 In the sixty years since the purchase or the Territory the seal fur industry alone has pro duced S62,000,000, while other furs nave pro duced a proportionate income. During the same period Alaskan fisheries have had total volume of business of $6sS,OoO,0oO Last year the @ sal mon pack alone was marketed for $46,OOo,OOO
 What country! What bargain! Ana vet we get $750 monument to be placed where inc American Flag was first raised when the Alaska transfer was made in 1867.
 Surely this monument will be the most won derful monument in the world. Not because 1t is an expensive one but because it means more for it's price than any other.

TWO ALASKA GIRLS WHO HAVE
 MADE GOOD.

Barrett Willoughby Alaska reared girl who has arrived, is a Juneau visitor She an nounces that she has written another book, and, she says, it is the best work she has done While it is claiming a lot for her book to say it is better than it's predecessors. are willing to believe that Barrett Willoughby knows She not only knows Alaska and Alaska people and gives her readers an authentic picture of both, but she is charming writer Her precision in association with sprightly spontaniety is a delight to the reader. It proves that she is sure of herself and her subject So when she Where the Sun Swings North" or Rocking Moon' we are convinced that it is.
 Many writers have found Alaska a fruitful subject about which to write strong and enter taining novels. Barrett Willoughby writes of her homeland when she lays the scenes of her books in the Territory, and after all, there is q difference.
 Alaskans are not little proud of the two Alaska girls, both artists in different profess sions who are visiting of their childhood (which was not long ago) at the present time both of whom have made good in the great Outside" Barrett Willoughby's books have won praise from the best critics and Wilma Bazant's violin has brought superatve predie- tions for brilliant future from the best New York writers on musical topics Juneauites were last week given the pleasureable opportunity of being convinced that Miss Bazant fully merits the praise that has been bestowed upon her.
 The people of Alaska will follow with great interest tht careers of these young Aaskans and will share in part, at least the honors that are certain to to them.

ROSY PICTURE FOR PRINCE RUPERT

A few things were said by Sir Henry Thorn ton, head of the Canadian National Railways, while recently at Prince Rupert, that are en- couraging to that place. One was that more than 6,00O0 900 bushels of wheat were handled by the wheat elevator there the first year of it's operation. and another that the. net receipts of the Canadian National Railways have increased from S3 900 900 year to SAG, 100000 since he has been at the head of the institution. This in crease of earnings, he said. is due to the pros porous conditions that prevail in Canada. He predicted that this is Canada's century He also said that Prince Rupert has about settled her problems and that she has nothing more to do except grow. He declared that she would do that and predicted that more and more wheat would move through that town as the years come

PERSONNEL OF COURT WHICH
 REFUSED NEW TRIAL.

The five Justices of the Massachusetts Su- preme Court who without dssention, refused to allow Sacco and vanzetti new trial rep resent practically every secon of Massachusetts, all strata of society, both political parties and four different churches. They have had wide and diverse experiences in life and many years of distinguished judicial services. Two of the members of the court Chief Justice Rugg who is ill and Justice Crosby, who is spending his vacation in Europe, did not sit on the case.
 Politically three of the Justices, who sat on the case are Democrats and two Republicans.
 Religiously one is Catholic one an Episco- palian, one a Congregationalist and two are Unitarians
 Justice James B. Carroll Democrat and Cath olic is from Springfield; Justice George A. San derson, Republican and Episcopalian, is from Ifttleton; Justice William Cushing Wait, Demo- crat and Unitarian is from Boston; Justice Ed ward P Pierce. Republican and Unitarian, is from Boston: Henry King Bradley, Democrat and Congreg ationalist iwho presided in the ab- scence of the Chief Justice) is from Fall River. Justices Wait and Pierce were educated at liar yard, Justice sanderson at Yale Justice Carroll at Holy Cross and Justice Bradley never attended college
 '# Two of the Justices poor boys. Justice Carroll started life as newsboy in Springfield, and earned the money himself to take his Bach elor of Arts degree from Holy Cross and to go through the Boston University Law School. Jus tice Bradley was the of Plymouth sea captain and self-educated
