A friend tells us that he successfully
fruits his strawberry bed for five years
in succession. This may be done posi-
bly, with a small bed, but where the
bed Is large it is every way better to
fruit two years and then pillow up We
find it less trouble to set out a new bed
than renovate an old one.

A farm boy made openings in the
loft Of barn Sd that the sparrows
could find a sheltered place to roost in
cold weather. They quickly tumbled
to the snap, and after they were once
wonted it was an easy matter to close
the openings after they had gone to
roost and catch them with dip net.

1e " F|ev the Coop. :" COOnS Jumps Bond and
 Breaks Jail.

w. B. Coons was arrested last Monday morning upon the charge of assault and battery, preferred by Mrs. Barrett. The arrest was made by Huie Goodell who was depu- tized for the purpose, Marshal Hasey being away from town at the time. The prisoner was brought before Judge Lyons and placed under $25O bonds to appear at ? o'clock the next day. Kid Brown went sccur- ity for his appearance.
 When the time for trial arrived Coons failed to appear and bench warrant was issued for his arrest. Marshal Hasey after d vigorous search found his man hidden Iaway in the coal bunkers of the Str. Perry.
 Upon his forced appearance in court he asked through his attorney for continuation of the case which was granted until 10 o'clock the next morning and he was remand cd to jail without bail.
 About six o'clock in the evening the prison attendant passed in sup per to the prisoner and when he returned half hour later for the dishes, he discovered that the prisoner had escaped. He had taken out the only window in the building and wrenched off one of tine iron bars and sqeezed through and gained his liberty.
 The marshal is hunting in all directions for the prisoner, and has telegraphed to the interior to head him off.
 Coons has been about Valdez for the past year and is one of those individuals who are of no earthly use to any community, and it is a case of good riddance of dirty rubbish"
 This is the second prisoner that has escaped from this jail in the past year. The fault lies in the cheap wooden jail building furnish ed by the government and not with the marshal.

Some Substantial Improvements

Owing to the unusual rush ol men. from Valdez to the new strike and other points in the interior the town looks very quiet at pres. ent, and business is at standstill and there is apparently nothing doing. But Al. White with his usual push and energy, takes advantage of the Hull in business to make some extensive improvements on his property. Not content with the size of the houses he has already built that are known as the White Row,he is now adding a two story addition to the Drug store P X 30 feet in size, the lower floor to be used by Mir. Crary and the second floor to be used by the Tillicum Club as they find their quarters to small. To the building occupied by himself and known as the Gold Dust Exchange, he is building an addition 30 X 30 feet to he used as a club room. He has just had com pleted on the rear of his lot a large new stable.

Copper Center DOings.
By Our Special Correspondent.

Copper Center, June 12.-Dick Windermillcr, who passed through here about a week ago, return ed to Copper Center very sud- denly last Saturday. He has been on the upper trail that leads to klutena lake and was going to join his partner somewhere on the Stan ner river. The first night out he camped at Moses rock and the fol- lowing evening after he had only gone quarter of mile his horse began to snort and prance about, and without luther delay made for the woods. Dick at first thought there was freight engine coming up the trail, but it turned out to be a silver tipped she bear and two cubs. Dick can be thankful he had been a sailor. He put his experi- ence to good use ny climbinga tree.
 The bear had plenty of time and kept Dick on his lonely perch for three hours. She would sit down on her launches and watch the ex-sailOr on his roof and occasionly to change the monotony she would claw the tree and try to shake Dick off. After bruin had retired Dickey climbed down and with less haste than his ascent returned to terra firma. He followed his horse for several days but so far has not found him, the pack he fortunately found as his horse in turning be- tween two trees, lost the same. Windmiller left for Klutena lake today with Jack McGee who was here buying provisions, as McGee has q horse they will have less trouble finding Dicks. Dick now carries on top of his pack ten foot ladder.
 The Siberian Baritone, bell with three pack horses and hi-u noise passed here yesterday bound for the diggings.
 Francis and Locker came over from Mount Drum yesterday, Locker returned there this morn- ing while Francis contiued his trip witf pack horses to Valdez.

Experience of Fox Raiser.

A we'll known fox raiser on Prince William Sound sent to an Indiana firm, who advertise that they are mot Jews" sample lot of six blue fox skins. The shipper is man of experience and he se- lected the skins, sending pair each of first, second and third grade skins. In return for these skins he received $44.0 or an average of $7.33 each. Feeling satisfied that skins had not fallen to such an ex- tent, as that, he shipped the bal ance to his old dealers the McMillan Fur X Wool Company, whose adver- tisement appears in this paper, and received an average of $500 a piece for his skins. Note the diff ference. It is evident that the firm who tried to gain business by east ing an insinuating slur at other dealers, were frauds themselves.
