Vine Which Strangles Trees

One of the curious forest growths of tine isthmus of Panama and lower Gen. tral America in general is the vine which the Spaniards call matapalo, or tree killer" This vine first starts in life as a climber upon the trunks ofthe large trees. and, owing to its marvel ously rapid growth, soon reaches the lower branches. At this point it first begins to put out it's "feelerS"-tender, harmless looking root shoots, which soon reach the ground and become as firmly fixed as the parent stem. These hundreds of additional sap tubes give the whole vine a renewed lease of life, and it begins to send out it's aerial ten drils in all directions. These entwine themselves tightly around every limb of the tree. even creeping 10 the very farthermost tips and squeezing the life out of both bark and leaf. Things go on at Uni, rate but a short while before the forest giant is compelled to sue cumb to the gigantic parasite which is sapping its lifcblood. Within very few years the tree rots and falls away, leaving the matapalo standing erect and hollow.

TRIP BY
 THE SANTA ANA
Steamer Comes Up in Less Thar Nin9 Days Though Time Was
 Lost at Sitka

Steamer Santa Ana, Capt. Moore arrived in port Monday evening at : o'clock, less than nine days out of Seat tie, record trip for her, although she stayed in Sitka fourteen hours because ofa storm outside. She left Seattle December, i6 at II D. m. Had she not been held at Sitka she would have reached Seward Monday morning, not more than eight and one-half days out of Seattle.
 Asit is the steamers arrival on the 25th beats her own record to this port. She never reached Seward earlier than the 26th on any previous trip. She left Seattle after the Bertha, passed that boat on the inside passage, and left Juneau after the Bertha arrived there. The Bertha is at least a day behind her.
 The Santa Anareports extraordinary winter weather on the trip. Except the rough night al Sitka, when she waited for the storm to Suboide, she had as smooth a sea as in summer This accounts for her speedy voyage. She had a stern wind part of the time which helped some in getting along.
 The santa Ana brought thirty first class and twcnty-three steerage pas sengprs. Her Seward cargo was 45l tons. including the big rotary blow for the railroad, and 2Ol tons of steel rails. The rotary weighs seventy-iiye tons. It is knocked down and the pieces are billed separately. It will require several flat cars to transport i, to the front The boiler alone is d load for one car,
 The Santa Ana left Thursday morn ing at II o'clock for Seattle, by way of the inside passage. She will load ore at ElIamar and will sail from Valdez January |. Her mai contract pre- cIudcs am earlier departure. She took only one cabin passenger from seward. His name i, Edward Hite. \ small number of stecrage passengers went out.

Packers OrQanilc for Protection

The Alaskan salmon packers, con sistiug entirely of Porto Ricans, Mex jeans and persons coming from Chiii, the Philippine Islands and other coun- uie, where Spanish jS spoken, have perfected their organization.
 The majority of the men forming the organization came from Porto Ei- co. They were originally induced 10 leave their homes on promise that they would obtain work on Hawaiian planta- tious at good wages and md7r favor able conditions. They ultimately be- came stranded in San Francisco.
 They were then hired by Chinese contractors to cure and pack salmon in Alaska. Again they were subject to great hardshtps and their earnings were not sufficient to procure suitable food. Through organization they hope to better their condition.

sEwARD,s SUNNY CHRISTMAS

II "the state, north of Ohioriyer had as fair 8 Christmas as Sewardthey were fortunate, and iy wa, an eNcept- ion rather than rhe rule. If tine sun was visible they had more sunshine thar. Seward bu, it could have been no brighter, end all day long the mercury here stood within a degree of the trorz- ing point
 Tn Seward the sun rose clear at 9&0 o'clock, described an are just few degrees above the horizon end at l2@o disappeared behind the mountains on the western ,ide of the bay. On the eastern hills the sunlight flashed on the ,pow-cla6 peak, an hour and half longer. and fl tec day was somewhat shorter than in southern cIises no land on earth where the ground covered with snow could have had balmier White Christmas"

GUARDIAN or MANY BOYS
New Yorker Has Adopted 5000
 That They Might Enter Navy

About 5000 boys in the United States navy are called by the name of one mm, says the New York Tribune. For twcnty-two years they have been known by his name in the surrogate's office, on the receiving ship in the Brooklyn navy yard, and throughout the navy generally, He is legal guard ian of the entire number, and it was through him alone that they entered the navy.
 This man is neither government off, acial nor philanthropist-just plain business man, with a business office in downtown skyscraper, and he told his tale on the express stipulation that his name should not be used.
 "It began quite by accident,' he said. "twenty-two years ago. I was in the surrogate's office one day when the guardian clerk remarked; I'm sorry for that youngster over there: he wants to get into the navy the worst way and he has no guardian to sign his contract
 "The government requires con- tract with every apprentice entering the navy, and as the apprentices are necessarily under age, and as no minor can sign a contract under the law, of course. boys without parents or guard ians cannot enlist.
 "A great many boys desiring to en- ter the navy were in just this position. They were homeless, wandering boys, who either had no relatives or none they knew anything about, or perhaps, their relatives simply refused to take the trouble to fix up the papers.
 ''Well, I offered to act as guardian for that first boy, was legally appoin. ted, and got him into the navy, and since that I've kept on, till now there are somewhere near 5000 of them scattered over the world That's all there is to it.

COAL TRIBUTARY TO SEWARD

In the government report on "Alaska Mineral Resources in l9O4' by members of the survey parties under the direct ion of Alfred II. Brooks, considerable space is given to a discussion of the coal fields of Kenai peninsula and the region around the head of Cook Inlet. These fields were Investigated by Ralph w. Stone, whose report was generally very favorable.
 Mr. Stone speaks highly of the Mat anuska coal SD far as it was known at that time, but his information rcgard- ing 1t was limited. Since then eX- haus,ive examinations of the Matan- us.la coal have been made by experts which establish the fact of it's superior quality and vast extent with such eN- actncss as to take the subject out of the field of speculation and inquiry.
 More important at this time is Mr. Stones findings in regard to other coal areas in the region tributary to Seward. He made a somewhat extended eXami- nation of the fields at Kachemak bay and Homer spit, on the western side of Keuai peninsula, and found the depos- it's there apparently quite extensive and largely of good quality. ct a de- posit at Mine camp near Coal creek he says:
 "Thc coal in the section at the mine camp is hard, compact, glossy Ignite. It is clean, does not smut the hands, and tends to break into cubicaI frag- meutS when dried.'
 Mr. Stone also reports at consider able length of the coal measures of Tyoonok and Port Graham, where he found excellent seems, although the coal of Tyoouol iS of inferior quality. or the Port Graham coal he says; "The csar at Port Graham is Ignite, black, brilliant, clean to handle, with con choidal tracture.'
 Analyses of coal examined at vari- ous localities in Southwestern Alaska showed that the Matanuska coal is by far the strongest in fixed carbon. The percentage shown by tine analysis was B9.&4. An other Alaska coals were mgrH lower.
