A Frozen Flock of Sheep.

PIttFDufR DIspHtcn.
A miner who recently returned from
six months tour in North Alaska states
that while In the mountains some distance
from Dawson City he and his servants
found flock Of sheep frozen in the ice.
This was at a height Of about 5000 feet
above the sea level. The explanation given
Is that the flock was caught by a particu-
larly severe winter blizzard while crossing
the hill. On the appearance of the snow
the sheep must have huddled together and
persisted, the sleet forming an icy coat
around them. These portions of the bodies
which projected above the ice were de-
voured by bears or wolves.

There Is undoubtedly a popular
misconception that factories, and
even commerce, would be destructive
of the beauty of Washington, al
though it is well known that the
price of land would make factories
prohibitive in the vicinity of attrac-
tive residence property.
There is no reason, therefore, for
alarm over a recent symposium show
ing that the business men of Wash
ington are practically unit in de-
. handing factories.
1t should be borne in mind that the
residence section of Washington al
ready covers an immense area of
ground, and that. Washington is a
city of magnificent distances. Eco
nomic reasons, such as cheap sites,
water power and Shipping facilities,
would compel factories to locate
where they could not fairly be con-
sidered as disturbing factors in the
equation of the home life of the
nations capital.
Factories to mar the attractiveness
Of life at the capital would have to
be introduced on a more rapid scale
than the most ardent advocate of an
Industrial Washington could hope
for.
There is, however, a real danger,
which is that Washington may be-
come known as a factory town. Such
a reputation is in every respect I'M
desirable, and it Is unlikely that the
sentiment of the weather. class Of
Washington will ever allow such a
calamity to befall the city.-Robert
L. Fletcher. acting secretary job
