GOOD TRAIL THE YEAR ROUND
The best winter route to Fairbanks
is via the Copper River & Northwest
ern Railroad to Chitina and then over
the trail, a distance of 310 miles, by
auto stage. There is also a foot trail
and roadhouses about every twenty
miles on an average. By dog team it
is about a two weeks’ journey from
Chitina to Fairbanks.
The best summer route leads from
Skagway to Whitehorse, then by the
steamers to the mouth of the Tanana
river and up the Tanana to Fair
banks.- -Seattle Times.
The Above was printed in a news
paper story in the Seattle Times in
a recent issue and is a fairly apt illus
tration of the >, vagueness connected
with the interior Alaska which is all
too common even in circles that should
be better informed. It is somewhat
surprising to find such statements in
the Times as it is generaly accurate in
most of its articles dealing with the
territory.
In the matter ot comparison ot the
river route to Fairbanks with that
leading into the same town from Cor
dova by way of the Copper River
& Northwestern Railroad and the
Richardson highway, the latter route
■ is preferred by many to the Skagway
to Whitehorse and Yukon river route.
Both, however, are good. The latter
is a matter of weeks where the former
is a matter of days. On one are
reasonably comfortable river steamers
and on the other are Dodge and Ford
touring cars. The bills of fare on
the steamers, while as good as can be
obtained, lack the variety and the
fresh vegetables and native fruits
that one gets along the Richardson
Highway. Both routes are noted for
beauty of scenery. For the tourist
the best trip is to take the river boats
going into Fairbanks and come out
over the Richardson Highway by
automoblie. This can be arranged
easily as the White Pass officials
have but recently entered xinto an
agreement with regular stage lines to
handle all passengers desiring to use
such a route.
As for the winter route, the Richard
son Highway is admittedly the best,
as the Times states. The foot trail,
however, is the same one that is used
by the auto stages. The use of dog
teams on this road in a commercial
sense ceased several years ago. A few
privately owned dog sleds may make
the trip each winter and consume less
than a week from Chitina to Fair
banks. During a large part of the
winter season, autos are able to oper
ate over the entire distance, but in
case of extra heavy snowfall, there
is a short section crossing the sum
Tfcfir i tr-rnr ^r-Tr^"mr>ir »•»>
mit of the Alaska range where the
horse drawn sleds are used, autos be
ing used on both sides of this. The
average time consumed during the
winter months is probably about four
days, and many trips have been made
in three days. The average summer
trip takes two and one-half to three
days, while numerous 40-hour drives
from Fairbanks to Chitina are matters
of record.—Juneau Empire.
ADVERTISING ALASKA
PULPWOOD
The present conditions of the news
print market, existing shortages and
continued high prices, are resulting in
much advertising of Alaska as a
source of future supplies that cannot
but be beneficial to the territory and
be of valuable assistance in getting
the industry started without delay.
Credit for much of this publicity may
be given to the officials of the forestry
service, of the department of agricul
ture, representatives of which have
been recently giving out accurate in
formation containing facts and figures
regarding extent of the sources of sup
ply and the possibilities of their de
velopment in Alaska.
Appearing at Asheville, N. C., be
fore the annual convention of the
Southern Newspaper Publishers’ Asso
ciation, an organization comprising
many hundred of the larger as well
as small newspapers of the south, E
A. Sherman,, associate forester, de
dared that Alaska forests furnish an
opportunity for a permanent news
print industry. In giving the depart
ment’s view of the situation, he said:
“Within five years Alaska news
print should be a fairly common com
modity in the states,” the speaker said,
“and within ten years the industry
should be well established. Within
twenty years it should" be developed to
the total wood-producing capacity of
the Tongass forest — according to a
rough estimate made by the forest ser
vice there are 70,000,000 feet, broad
measure, of standing timber in the
Tongass region—if the mills were
available and established 2,000,000
tons of print paper could be produced
this year, and the forest property
from a standpoint of permanent pro
duction would be improved instead of
injured.
“The establishment of a news print
mill means the investment of approx
imately $5,000,000. Extensive water
power development takes time; the
construction work alone takes two or
three years—there is no reason, how
ever, why development should not pro
ceed simultaneously at a number of
different points. Andy putfit with suf
ficient capital Will find in the Tongass
national forest a timbered region
available for exploitation without in
terference from any other outfit.”
The information which Mr. Sherman
conveyed to his hearers will be dis
seminated all over the south. It is not
being too optimistic to believe that the
publicity thus given to the territory
will result in substantial investment
in Alaska’s timber resources and aid
in the industry which is now being
conceived.
POLISH ARMY INCLUDES
SIX HUNDRED WOMEN
WARSAW, Aug. 12 (by Associated
Press).—Women make the best sol
diers for guard duty at barracks and
food supply depots, according to the
Polish war ministry. An appeal for
women volunteers asserts that women
are especially noted for their trust
worthiness and honesty. Poland’s vol
unteer legion of women for the army
already has more than 600 memben
and nearly 2,000 applications awaiting
to be passed upon. «
Germany continues to show inher
k ent strength. Even the recent loss
of a Hohenzollern has not upset her.

IN JEWELRY FADS
Decorations Sensational Rather
Than Extravagant.
rhroat Latch and Pendant With
Matching Earrings Brings Forth
the Most Comment.
The present mode of wearing all
sorts of striking jewelry has passed
the stage where It may merely be re
ferred to as extravagant; now it has
become positively sensational, accord
ing to a Paris fashion writer. Quan
tities of remarkable jewelry were seen
everywhere during the season In the
south of France.
The jewel which created the most
comment was a throat latch and
pendant with matching earrings. These
were very large and were made of
platinum and diamonds. The earrings
and the pendant were the same size
and of the same design, the delicate
chain which held the three together
being of platinum and brilliants to
match the three pendants.
A famous Parisian beauty wore this \
extraordinary ornament with the '
simplest possible coiffure, the hair be
ing brushed straight back and twisted
into a low knot at the nape of the
neck. Her dress was an extreme
decollete in black and she kept a sable
coat on most of the time, as her back
was absolutely nude to the waistline.
No other jewels were worn, not even
a finger ring, but the marvelous bril
liancy of her throat latch and earrings
was the more pronounced because of
the severity of the remainder of the
toilette.
Another striking novelty in jewelry
is a double bracelet of onyx set with
rows of pearls with little chains of
pearls holding the two together. This,
like many of the new bracelets, is
worn above the elbow.
Very large earrings are much in
vogue. They, like other present-day
jewelry, are usually In combinations
of black and white or white and one
colored stone, green and white being
the combinations most often chosen.
The preference for green and white
jewelry has brought the emerald into
even greater prominence and, despite
the fact that the prices of these stones
have become almost fabulous, quanti
ties of them are worn.
Watches are quite as elaborate in
their design as earrings and brace
lets.
FEMINiNE FANCIES
Scotch heather sweaters are promi
nent.
The new' Balkan blouse has a high
collar.
Real laces are used on tailored
lingerie.
Figured net is the latest lingerie
material.
Figured voile is used for children’s
play frocks.
The entire hat today is expressed
in the crown.
Shot taffetas are printed in pompa
dour patterns.
Eccentric trimmings are features of
the overblouse.
Colored cotton embroideries are
very charming.
The new7 up-and-dowTn trimming is
much in vogue.
Some tailored and Irish-trimmed
negligees are of heavy, lustrous silk.
Black satin, draped with black tulle,
is a w7ise choice for an evening gown.
A smart accessory is a dressy scarf
of silk tissue, bordered in printed silk.
An all-white evening dress for sec
ond mourning is made of ring dot silk
net.
Angora cloths in Scotch plaids, or
with blazer stripes, are used for sport
coats.
Entire capes of gray squirrel fur
are among the most luxurious gar
ments.
Bulgarian embroidery, in bright col
ors, is sefrn on some of the spring
blouses.
HAT MADE OF WOOD SHAVINGS
From wood pulp and shavings this
exquisite hat is fashioned. It was
recently shown in New York, among
a number of other late Parisian ideas.
Washing Laces.
Fine laces should be basted to a
piece of cheesecloth before they are
washed. Wash by “sousing” up and
down in lukewarm neutral soap so
lution. Rinse in several clear waters.
Lay out flat to partially dry, and then
iron on the wrong side, so that the
iron only conies in contar^ with the
cheesecloth and not directly with the
lace. "When ironed and thoroughly
dry, cut open the stitching, and the
iace will be as fresh as new, if care
fully done.

The Toughest Rubber
That Was Ever Made
wjpm around fisheries really “live in their
IrlUal/ irit rl boots.” Footwear is your most impor
tant item, and you should buy carefully. Don’t get a cheap j
brand or one that you are not sure of. Goodrich “Hi-Press”
is your safest buy. When you buy Goodrich you get the
benefit of fifty years’ rubber experience—we know how to
make the rubber tougher—the boots will wear far longer
and keep your feet dry and comfortable. Don’t accept imita'
tions—look for the Red Line ’Round the Top. 60,000 dealers.
