REFUGEES III
NEED OF SHOES
An appeal for discarded shoes to
be sent the women, and children and
incapacitated old inen in devastated
districts of Prance and Belgium,
who are said to be suffering intense;*
ly because of a lack of shoes, is
contained in a communication sent
by A. S. Elford, of the New York
Life) insurance Company, to Albert
J, Rhodes, president of the Seat
tle Chamber of Commerce and
Commercial Club.
Thousands of refugees in the ray
aged districts of Western Europe
are now going barefoot, and unless
the people of the United States ans
wer the call for shoes, women and
children and old men will be forced
to suffer through the winter withoUl
proper care, according to Mr. El
ford. ,
"The real brotherhood of man
should enter into this campaign for
shoes," he says. "We are informed
that the refugees fell upon their
knees in gratitude and appreciation
for what America is now doing in
this respect."
Other cities tbrougnout una cuuu
try have already; answered the call.
Boise, Idaho, has sent 4,000 pairs
ot discarded shoes to the front,
through the office of the New York
Life Insurance Company.
Seattle citizens are urged to eend
their old shoes to the office of the
New York Life Insurance! Company,
iu the Lippy building, on Columbia
street. Bo urgent has been the
call from France that Mr. Elford
will personally pay the expense of
■boxing and express charges to the
war relief clearing house in New
York City.
Skagway Urged To Scnsl Shoes
Skagway citizens are urged to
send their shoes to either James
Kennedy & Co. or to Dortero &
Son, who have volunteered to re
ceive them and stare in boxes un
til ready for shipment. Keller
Brothers have agreed to furnish
boxes and material in which to ship
the shoes, and as soon as sufficient
are gathered to send, the Alaskan
will see-r that they are sent to the
proper authorities through the of
fices of the New York Life Insur
ance Company.

CONVICT if
BE CAUGHT
TODAY
U. S. Marshal J. M. Tanner ar
rived on the Dolphin last night,
and this marning in company wltH
Hardy and an Indian went in the
direction of Sturgil's wood camp
in the hopes ol catching the pris
oner, Vernon Bwalf.
Bwalf has been seen at various
times the past few days, and It is
believed there will be littia diffi
culty in effecting his capture. Plans
of Marshal Tanner cannot bo made
p.ublic at the present time, but it is
expected before dark that the pris
oner will be again in the court
house jail.
"I believe there will be no diffi
culty in getting in touch With Ver
non Bawlf, the escaped convict from
Walla Walla penitentiaTy last April
and who subsequently escaped
from the Skagway jail a few daya
ago, if a trip, tnrough the woods
from Skagway is made, unarmed,"
was the statement made this morn
ing by United States Marshal J. M.
Tanner.
Guard Norton, who left recently
for Walla Walla announces that
he will send a half-trained blood
hound pup to tSkagway for use by
the local authorities,
PLACER CUPS
YIELD MILLIONS
Volney Richmond, superintendent
of the N. C. Company, and Howard
Turner, auditor of the same com
pany, who arrived on the Alaska,
after a tour of the various lower
Yukon mining camps, brought in
teresting news of the situation th$r%
Mr. Richmond says:
"The railway construction; work a
Nenana is affording a large volume'
of freight for the steamers this y$a$
and is creating much work at Ne
nana. k.
"The placer camps of the lower
Yukon country, however, are not
yielding as well this year as usual.
The Ruby camp, has experienced, the
Ueaviest falling off, wh.tfqj Koyukuk,
Fairbanks, Marshall and Idltarod
also will have lighter yields.
However, in the aggregate they
will produce millions of dollars this
year. Of course, it is impossible
to learn from the dredge pople
at Iditarod, Ruby and such places
what they are recovering in gold,
but the individuals all report low
er returns. The high costs of
supplies contribute to this condi
tion, as some low grade gravels can
not be operated profitably when the
costs are too high. But for such.
