BIG SUM WILL BE SPENT FOR ANOTHER STATION IA
 MILES FROM HERE

SEATTLE, Sept, 5, (R-The expenditure during the next three years of approximately s300,000 in expanding radio com muaications between the Paci- fic seaboard and Northwest Alas ka is announced by Colonel F. J Griffin, who is in charge of operations for the expansion of radio facilities.
 This was announced as neces- sary because the cableship Del lwood is to be placed on a war reserve basis October 19,31 which renders it unavailable for i'm mediate cable repairs to the cable.
 The Signal Corps are to build a station and four or five trans nlitters near Seattle.
 Griffin said that Anchorage is probably the best adapted point for relay work and station will be erected there at cost of ap- proximately S100,000
 Seward, however, will not be abandoned as the wire telegraph from Seward to Anchorage will be ample service Anchorage will ba the collecting station for all messages from northern Alaska to the states connecting Bristol Bay districts.
 Nome will be a substation for Baring Strait; Fairbanks a sub station for central Alaska.
 At is probable that a new re- oeiving set will be installed at Mountain Point to avoid relay s5 Ketchikan and expected to establish a direct channel from Jrneau to Anchorage.

the tugs had pushed her into her berth. Looking up at the decks thronged with officers in the uni forms of all the Allies, Daggers cheeks were crimson, her eyes were sparkling. Mir Vaneering hooked an arm affectionately in hers. "Our Jack will want to jump straight down here when he sees you, Alix." he laughed.
 T wish he would," exclaimed Dagger.
 Mrs. Vaneering stirred petulant- ly on her husbands other side.
 You both forget his poor knee," she objected.
 But Dagger, all unhearing, cried out, between tears and laughter:c

5000 REINDEER
 COMPLETE FIFTH
 OF ARCTIC TREK
Seattle Times, July 2D


 Completing one-fifth of their journey the herd of 5000 picked reindeer being driven by employees of the Lomen Reindeer Corporation from the shores of Kotzebue Sound to the peninsula east of the Mac kenzie River on the Arctic Coast, a distance of l,500 miles, has reached Hunt River, a tributary of the Noatak
 Ralph Lomen, vice president and manager of the Lomen Corporation today received word that the care takers and the herd are doing well and will be ready to continue the long trek as soon as the snow flies in the fall Contact is kept with the herd by an airplane of the Alaska Airways, which makes frequent trips from Kotzebue.
 The 5000 reindeer were selected from herd of 30,000 and sold to the Canadian government by the Lomen Corporation. The contract provides that the animals be de- livered on the peninsula east of the Mackenzie. Eventually they will be taken to the Hudson Bay country and placed on ranges.
 @ Doctor Rec0vers
 Dr. L. E. Benson, Alaska physi- clan, who accompanied the herd, became ill as a result of the ex- treme cold, and was brought out of the wilderness in an airplane. He now is in California but will be here this week and sail on the last trip of the steamship Arthur J. Baldwin of the Arctic Transport Company on his way to rejoin the herd. Two caretakers who became ill during the summer were brought out by airplane and placed in a hospital at Kotzebue.
 Word from the herd received yes- terday by MT. Lomen said the thermometer had registered 100 de- grees, although Hunt River is north of the Arctic Circle. A few months ago the caretakers reported a tenn perature of TO degrees below zero. Dr. Benson, physician, miner, and adventurer, has been sin Alaska 30 years. He is a roamer but spends most of his time at Candle or Kot- zebue.
 There are twelve men, Lapland- CTS and Eskimos, and two Indian squaws with the herd" said MT. To- men. They are in charge of An drew Bahr, a Laplander who was sent to Alaska by the United States Government in 1898 to teach rein deer husbandry. The squaws do the cooking and sewing for the expedi- ton. The supplies are carried on forty sleds drawn by seventy-five trained reindeer. The herd was very wild when the long trek started but will be as tame as COWS before they reach the Mackenzie. It is the greatest reindeer drive in the history of the North American con- tinent."

WOMEN BANNED FROM GALLEY
 OF MARGARET
Juneau Femininity Attend Open House Today
 on Dauntless

"Open House" on His Majesty's Ship Dauntless means just that. When announcement was m d e early in the week that "open house. receptions for the public would be held aboard the British cruiser this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon, many fair residents of Juneau en- tertained expectations of ascertain ing how food was cooked and beds were made on the trim naval craft in other words, how men of war keep house in time of peace. But feminine curiosity is vouchsafed no satisfaction in these respects.
 Upper, Open Deck
 The "open house" reception is upon the upper, open deck this af- ternoon, and so it will be tomorrow afternoon, and likewise in other ports always, for regulations on the subject are strict.
 Milady is not allowed below deck. She must be content to be told that m meals are prepare in galleys and that sailors sleep in hammocks. She may be shocked to hear that these stalwart sons of the Empires first line of defense are allowed daily ration of rum, and grieved to learn that they drink it, rather than accept the halfpenny offered if they forego it.
 Compensations Are Adequate
 Notwithstanding some disappoint- ments, however, there is ample compensation to women attending today's reception, as there will be to those present at tomorrow's. Tea, as only the English brew it, is served on the quarter deck; the ships band is playing, as only na- val bands can play, and gentlemen in the Kings uniform, like sea fighters in all ages the world over, are gracious and gallant as they murmur sweet nothings into at tentive ears.
