Mother of Ethel Maybee Continues
Her Search.

Mrs. J. R. Little of Eskridge who asked
the Whereabouts of her 15-year-old daugh-
ter, Ethel Maybee, has gone to Kansas
City to continue the search. Her theory,
as told the county attorney, that James
Peters of Eskridge was responsible for the
disappearance OF the girl, has been dis
approved and it is known that the girl got
on a Kansas City train Monday morning

the case on account of letters she had

The girl was rooming at 500 Huntoon

her mother knew nothing of her escapade

territories is a question which would
be settled on the same principles as
were applied to almost every state In
the union except the original thirteen:
Whenever their population warranted
they woud be admitted as states.
Locally, the new states would have
the same rights of self government as
belong to the constituent parts of the
present United States. Nationally,
they would have two senators apiece at
Washington and representatives accord
ing to population. Their national legis-
lators would have exactly that part in
the formation of national legislation to
which the federal system of government
entities them. In the cabinet of the
president would sit members from the
new states, and whenever the wheel of
political fortune made the proper rev.

RAIL TRADE is DULL.
Review of Iron Situation by the Iron
Age.

New York. Nov. 26.-The Iron Age
says of the iron and metal trades: A
somewhat better feeling is developing
in the one department of the IRON IN
dustry in which conditions are having
their natural play, that being a section
at least of the foundry iron trade. Buy
ers are taking hold of southern iron,
considerable sales having been made
east and west for forward delivery on
the basis of 50 to 1925 Birmingham
There is a good deal of iron being
placed, particularly since very few
producers north of the Potomac and
of the Ohio will meet the competition
of the Tennessee, Alabama and Vlr-
ginia Stacks. 1t will depend upon the
developments of the next few weeks
whether that attitude can be main
tanned or whether the northern pro-
ducers must surrender to the buyers
The pig iron markets of the central
west so far as BesSemer and forge
grades are concerned, show somewhat
values which are lower.
The steel market shows signs of
weakness, there being some pressure to
sell Dillets. In the aggregate con-
has been placed abroad already. Eng
fish advices are to the effect that John
Lysaight, the well known English
sheet manufacturer, has placed with
order for about 10000 tons of sheet bars
at 78s Sd, delivered. 1t appears that
middlemen are now offering German
and American bars at 75s for delivery
next years.
The domestic rail trade is dull and
very little is doing for export. In the
heavier lines like plates and shapes.
business is quiet and the mills show a
good deal more work.
The low prices at which scrap has
gone begging in this country have at
tracted foreign users, and during the

WHISKY AND CONSUMPTION
Funston Says They Are Clearing Out
the Alaska Indians.

Washington, Nov. ga report COW
ering the results of his investigation of
reports of restitution among natives of
Alaska has been submitted to the adju-
tant general of the army by Brigadier
General Frederick Funston, command
ing the Department of Columbia. AS
the restitution complained of occurs
only in the winter, and as the inveStga-
ton was made in summer, the data he
obtained were mostly from conversation
with traders, missionaries, miners and
other residents of the country.
Most of the natives along the coast of
Alaska, General Funston says, belong
to the Thlinket race. They are Indians,
not Eskimos, and he says there never
has been any general restitution among
them But, despite their general
prosperity, General Funston says there
are some diScouraging features regard
ing their condition, the principal ones
being tuberculosis and liquor. The
Yukon Indians are described to be in
a more primitive state, but are honest
and Industrious. About the only re-
ports of restitution among the natives
of the interior of Alaska. General Fun
ston states, have been regarding those
on Copper river, but his information
was that these Indians were worthless.
Concerning the Alaskan Eskimo Cen
eral Funston says his existence always
has been a precariOus one, dependent
upon his success in hunting and fishing.
After the Eskimo obtained breechload-
ing rifles from the whalers in the '70s.
caribou were slaughtered in the most
reckless fashion. There is now, General
Funston says, a certain amount of desti-
tuition and occasional starvation among
the Eskimos of Rering sea and Cotze-
bue sound. but it is not due to the
miners, but to conditions which pre-
vailed years before the miners came to
the shores of Boring sea. The natives
all but exterminated the caribou and
also killed the walrus with the same
reckless regard for the future.
General Funston says that, under IA
vorable conditions. the reindeer enter
prise in Alaska will remove any causes
which may now exist for restitution
among the Eskimos, but that they are
trif1ing and improvident. He recon-
mends they be put under control of the
department of the interior and their
aimless wandering and visits to mining
towns and all settlements of white men
be prevented. He advises that, under no
circumstances, should rations be dis
tributed to them gratuitously. Concern
ing the Aleuts, who inhabit the Alas
kan peninsula, and the adjacent coast
and the Aleutian islands. General Fun
ston says that, although he never visited
cheir country he is advised that they
are decreasing in numbers owing to the
spread of tuberculosis, their fondness for
liquor, and the hard conditions of their
life. due to the scarcity of game.
