Superintendent Hall Sounds a Note Of
Alarm.

A species of serfdom for New York
orphan children is predicted in this
state by Supt. Hall. of the North Da-
kota Children's Home. There is q
law here prohibiting the Importation
of needy or orphan children, but de.
spite this fact it is said that coach
load of children has been secured in
slums OF New York and will be sent
to this state. The worst feature is
that the applicants for these children
are twenty-seven Russian settlers.
Some of these have children of their
own. Many reside miles from schools
and the position of the children will
be little above serfdom Efforts will
be made to keep the children in the
East.

TWELVE HUNDRED BASKETS.
British Bark Thistle Comes to Port

Twelve hundred fruit baskets were
brought from Hamburg on the British
bark Thistle. arrived this morning
first shipment of the sort to arrive
for years. The baskets will be dis
posed of to the apple growers through
out the Inland Empire, says the Ore

Captain England is still in command
of the bark. which left here about IS
months ago with a grain cargo. She
is on the disengaged list, and may be
held until the wheat crop is ready for
shipment.
Near Madeira island, on December
81, Apprentice Henry Pearson fell
from the royal yards to the deck and
was instantly killed.
After leaving Hamburg on Novem-
ber the vessel was forced to seek
shelter in the English channel three
times before she was finally got un-
der way. During one of these periods
she lost couple of anchor stocks
The bark lay in Yarmouth roads until

Nine sailors deserted, mostly men
shipped in California.
In addition to the fruit baskets, the
Thistle brought cement, pig iron and
