MONEY IN STRAWBERRIES

The strawberry season is now clos
ing. Many crates of the delicious
fruit are shipped from Canon City
every day. Last Monday 3 local ex-
press company transported 1900 crates
to the depo, and the other express
company also handled great many
crates. The berries are large and JUICY.
Pickers get fifty cents crate, and
the swift ones make good wages. As
a rule they do not pick in the after
noon on account of the heat out in
the open glare of the sun. This year
consumers of Canon CITY berries paid
AS high rs 1915 crate, which is
higher than has ever been paid before.
There was little over three
fourths of a crop, but the proceeds
realized were more, and there WAS
less work than previous years.
The berries from the north are COM
ing now and the prices are again get
ting low. A large number of goose
berries have also been raised this
year.
Next comes cherries and currants,
then raspberries and blackberries.
Eaily apples will soon be ripe and the
Fruit Growers and Dealres' associa-
tion expects to keep busy until lste

SUCCESSOR 70 THE TITLE

The Earl of Burlei@h WIS dead and
the earl's only son and successor was
wanGerer on the face OF the earth
and had not been heard of for five
years.
One day q sloop arrived with One
man on her of the name of Burch. who
said that he and his partner had taken
q man of the name of Henderson to
one of the New Guinea islands. where
they left him to live Crusoe life. Re
turning, all on the sloop had died eX-
cept Burch.
When Burchs story was made
known, it was believed that young
Henderson must be the Lord of Bur
leigh, but by the time a Melbourne So
licitor had been empowered to send out
a searching expedition full year had
elapsed. There was a wait to find the
right sort Of craft and another for the
bad weather season to pass, and when
the search was finally entered upon
Henderson had been playing Robinson

JAPS HAVE ISLAND
CAPTAIN CROSKEY OF BUFORD
SAW THEM ON WAKE.
They Sailed Out to Transport and Got
Tobacco and Medical supplies-were
Not Shipwrecked There.

Acting on information supplied by
Captain Croskey the commander of the
transport BufOrd of the presence Of
japanese on Wake island, the United
States government has ordered the
cruiser Adams to that island and Mid
way Islands as well, to determine what
the presence of the Japs on those two
islands means.
Captain Croskey is now in port with
his vessel He remembers distinctly the
occasion if his discovering the Japanese
on Wake Island. The Buford left here
about the middle of last June bound for
Manila. Captain Croskey stood up by
Wake Island, as that course consider
ably shortens the voyage. Previous to
that trip, he had always understood
that Wake island was uninhabited. To
his surprise he saw apparently a ships
boat on the beach. Soon this craft was
launched the sail raised and put out to-
ward the vessel He thought that per-
haps some one had been shipwrecked
on the island and stood as close in
shore as he dared. To his surprise the
boat was manned by some Japanese
who signifted that one of their number
was i'll and they desired medical atten-
ton. From their statements and dis
cIiptiOns of the disease the man evil
IDENTIFY had beri-beri.
The japanese said they had been put
on the island by a schooner that OperaL-
ed out Of Yokohama They were gather
ing guano and drying fish. They in
formed Captain Croskey that they were
not in need of provisions or water. They
were expecting the Japanese schooner
at the island in a month or so. They
appeared to be perfectly contented and
showed no desire to leave the island.
They were given some medical supplies
for the sick man, some tobacco anC, a
few incidentals for themselves. They
were asked if they did not wish to go
to Manila with the transport. When
this was asked, they rOWed laughing
away from the transport.
Captain Croskey reported the pres
ence of the Japanese on Wake Island
after he reached Manila, and there
learned that the transport Sheridan had
had similar experience with the men.
Captain Croskey thinks that the Japa-
nese went to the two transports for he
purpose of getting some tobacco for
themselves and, perhaps in the case of
the Buford. some supplies for their al
legged sick companion. There was nOth-
ing in the manner of the Japanese to
indicate that they claimed possession of
ten island.
The island was annexed to the United
States in 1898 by General Green during
an expedition to the Philippines. Cen
eral Green erected a flag pole and rails
ed the American flag. Captain Croskey
says he distinctly saw the pole but the
mot there.

hands and rubbed them over with gold
filings and diamond chips, and then
carefully passed their hands through
their hair. 1t was their custom at night
to cleanse their hair with fine combs
and collect and sell the gold particles
and diamond dust stolen in the manner
described.

he reverses most of them for his own
