MILITARY RAILROAD HAS RIGHT OF WAV
Military railroads have the right of way on the western front, so a
ruined house was not allowed to block this line. The engineers pierced both
walls of Hie house aud arched them over, and now the ears tilled with troops
run right through the house on the way to the front lines.
TICKLE TORS LATE DANCE HIT
.
"Tickle Toes,'* the latest ter
psiehoreau favorite of New York
City, has arrived in Portland and
will no doubt be danced with vim
ftod vigor during the coming winter.
It's dignified as well as patchy, too.
*ay* Mose" Christensen, the introduc
er. Chrisrtensen deplores in no un
certain. terms the ungraceful, un
di«nif ed and ridiculous positions
now frequjent in dancing.
"If Western people just realized
that these, angular positions are not
seen in the best bail room? of New
York they would- not be so quick
to take them up,'' said the dancing
master, who has just returned from
*h«- i35th -!annJial convention of the
American (National Associatoin of '
Masters Of Dancing at the Astor
F tel. Ne\fr York.
"One miy see it in the New York
catrarets, i>ut the funny part is that
the patrortage of these places con
sists mostly of Western tourists. No
thing of tBe kiud is seen at the Biit
more hot^I./ifid other places where
th« better people hold their af-,
fairs.'"
ChristeAseu, who was l®flt year
presluent of the National Assocta- '
'. on of Dancing Masters, was able
normal school for daucing teachers.
More than 50 attended the one
month's course held previous to the
convention in August. Stefano Mas*
cagno, the celebrated Italian dancing
master, was director. Christensen
w«s elected head of the institution.
Mildred Keats and three other Port
land maid's are now studying with
Mascaguo in New York City. They
are Owena Wolcott and Marie and
I'-en'f Watson.
Following his amalgamation polic
suggested at the last conveniton
th > American Societty of Profes
sors of Dancing held its 40th an
nual conclave in the same c'ty
t is year and joined the younger
association in all plans for the new
dancts of the year.
"America has been flooded with
new steps during the last few years.
Each society has tr'^d* to introduce
'ts favorites." said Christensen this
morning. "This year th© two organ
izations agree-d through committeeB
on ibe fundamentals of the Ameri
can one step, fox trot and the A
niericau comoination waltz. As it
will be taught by members all
over th© country, it will b© free

Christensen lor several years was
president of the Portland Symphony
Orchestra.—Portland Telegram,
to see several of his policies inau
gurated during his term of office.
Most notable of theso was th© first

When the tiger in man shall be

And envy and hate no morg have

For the former things have passed

E. A. Rasmuson
Is Optimistic
y -
Upon, bein* approached by a rep*
reseutative of the Daily Alaskan on
his return from an extended trip to
th' states, and' £.sked a$ to the con
ditions there as he saw them, Judge"
E A. Rasmuson, chairman of the
Board of Directors of th® Bank
o* Alaska said:
What is the opinion, on the war?
The general opinion Beemg to be
that Germany will within a year be
forced to accept; the terms of the
Allies. Soft* bf the fae'tt ttdek
frequently advanced iq support of
this are: shs baa summoned every
available maa to the colors; she
hag uassed her maximum man pow
er; she staked her all on this year's
soring drive, and she failed; she
has now for more than two months
been forced to retreat In almost
everv encounter; in many places she
has been driven past her old Hin
(dencurg line; this though she
and her allies are numerically
stranger thaq the Allies, the ratio
being somewhat like 28,000,000 to
20,000,000*. No one expects much
activity on the western front this
winder, but our men and ammuni
tion* will be sent across at even
greater speed than at any time hith
erto; there will be no let up; thus
in the spring Germany with no
more men than now. ond with a 50
percent weaker morale both in the
army and »mong the civil population
will meet an enemy with several
more million men under arms and
with an untold amount of supply in
ammunition and determiation to
wige the Hun spirit from the face
of the world.
There Is cut one real business in
'ha States—to win the war: every
thing else Is secondary. Both man
power and dollar power must and
cheerfully is given for that. There
is plenty of money in the banks
both Eeast and West, but there is
such unrest as to what the demands
mav be that every one wishes to
keen their assets in as liquid form
as possible. The following may
serve as an example to show whai I
me^n by this: When the Directors
o* the Bank of Alaska had decided
to double the capTfffT alfiF surplus
of the B'nk one of our directors,
Walbrldge, haying given mg his
check in the amount of $50,000.00
to be deposited for that purpose
said: "Just think of It, our balance
<s today down to almost $700,000,
or to be exact It is $783,000." An
other of our directors, Senior mem
ber of a Die law firm said all of
*h«uj, there ar« five la the firm,
had given 3-4 of their time to the
Government without pay for win
ning; the war he being at the head
of Suppression, of Sedition and Es
pionage in New York. Mr. Free
man, another director fo the Bank (
Alaska and well known Jn Alaska,
having spent several months here *
year or two ago, was appointed by
Mitchell Palmer, the custodian of
Allen Property, to manage one of
the largest trust companies in
New York, which was found to be
controlled by Austrian capital and
therefore taken over by the Cus
todian of Alien poperty.
No, I did' not have any chance
to meet Mr. Andrew Stevenson, the
President of the Bank. One of tbe
directors wired him to meet me, if
[posslole, in Chicago as I passed
| through. "On my arrival there he
wag not there, but his sister, Miss
Lucille Stevenson; t°'d me She had
just received a telegram from him
statin* that he was physically un
able to travel as far as Chicago
at that time, but would try and'
meet me la Toronto the following
Wednesday if I could come there.
Of course I would like to haTe
gone there to see'him but my tfne
did not allow it.
Going east I went over tne
adJan Pacific, without doubt the
most scenlo transcontinental road.
I* certainly tg a road for people wit
time and money. I wish I had
bee- in that class. The road pass
es throuzh much prairie land and
the frameri were buBy harvesting.
Returning | came over the Milwau
kee the western part Qf the Journey.
Tho harvest was over and in some
places threshing waapn. There was
* very marked ■carc'ty of labor in
the farming communities. Every
body spoke of it
As a whole there is otherwise
not muc' demand for labor In any
class outside of the war activities.
The tiuilding tr®de which Included
not only carpenters *nd all the
men in the SajAi tadf-DOorfactorlei,
but also plasterers, plumbers, paiat
ors, masoa^ etc., have practically
ai' had to turn to other vocations
as there la no building done. In
Seattle and places like it where
there are shipyard* high wages are
paw, but my advice to every man ,n
Alaska, even if he ia not making
what he considers he ought, Is th&t
he stay here as when the fare and
time ia considered, and extra ex
penses connected with living in Se
attle or similar places la thuoght
of then there is a margin of profit
with staying here. Besides every
where one moves o®8* °r west there
appears to be but one opinion,
which is that after the war we will
in Alaska, experience the best time8
evorheaTdof, whereas there is not
an over supply of optimism as to
the labor situation la tbs states af
ter the wan ■ : ^ypni'*!
