ICE BY POUND. TON OR BERG.
Versatile Berney Moran Introduces
New Business In AIaslSa.

Now buSlneNS IN Alaska.
Icebergs are not drug on the mar
ket in Alaska-that is, in the winter
time, when 40 degrees below is a mild
day; but one OF the strange perversi-
ties of nature is TO burn and blister
with hot sun during the few weeks
OF Arctic summer. juneau and one
hundred other enterprising Alaska
! cities now have well equipped cold
/ storage warehouses. better than most
towns of equal size down in "the
States" but there was time when
ice could not be had. even in Alaska.
1t was during the second year of the
Klondike fever and the Cold Storage
and Ice Trade Journal relates the un-
usual manner in which supply was
found
Berney Moran was certainly versa
tile, says Popular Mechanics. He had
been a newspaper writer, track-layer,
section foreman. street corner preach
er, miner, walking delegate and a
dozen other things. He rejoiced in
the nickname Of Casey and is now
wealthy mine owner When Moran
landed in Juneau he had a dollar
bill and a thirst; the latter he pro-
ceeded to trade off for the dollar.
The beer was served almost warm.
Where's your ice?" asked Moran.
1--WE amt no fancy dudes" was the
frontier answer. I'VE never ice here
In the summer. You'd better drink
your drink without ice or noise"
SAY" asked Moran, what will
you give me for a constant supply of
the best ice you want all this sum-
mer?"
They dickered and came to an
agreement and Moran then visited the
different saloons and markets and
stores selling perishable goods and
made an arrangement with the ma
jority of them to supply the summers
ice, an arrangement which few deem
ed he could keep.
Moran next hired a tug-on credit.
He also hired an old warehouse on
the shore. With crew Of two and
himself and with a cargo of ropes,
cables and anchors, ne left the port
and proceeded to sea.
Two days afterward the entire town
OF Juneau was down on the shore. A
tugboat was announced approaching
with a tow the like of which no tug
boat ever had before. Fastened to a
series of cables. ropes and anchors to
the big tug, and a hundred yards or
so behind it, was a gigantic iceberg.
on the berg Moran had sunk posts
and fastened anchors. and finally
managed to get a good towing grip.
He gradually towed the mountain,
composed of the most beautiful and
clearest ice In the world, into the har-
Dor and stranded it in deep water not
more than so yards from his ice
house,
Next day in letters 10 feet long,
the following sign appeared on the

BASKETBALL Team from the Interior
VIII Tour Western Oregon.
The Burns Times-Herald says of a
novel scheme adopted by Harvey
county to advertise that section Of the
state:
The Burns Athletic club has start
ed the proposition OF getting up a
basketball team from the members
of the club to tour western Oregon
and Washington where they would
play local teams in all the places of
consequence and at the same time dis
tribute advertising and descriptive
literature putting forth the resources
of the Great Harvey county.
This is one of the best advertising
suggestions that has been brought
forward and has met with consider
able encouragement from local busi-
ness men. A fund will be raised to
assist in defraying the expenses OF
the team. Some of this amount will
be raised by popular subscription
among home people and the boys
may give some dances and entertain
ments before leaving.
The Tlmes-Herald is informed that
the team will be picked men from
the local club and also the Harvey
Athletic club, therefore 1t takes a
wider scope than a local undertaking
and should be supported by people all
over the county.
Since the effort of few started the
ball rolling for the Lewis and Clark
fair 1t has been a constant drain up
on the pockets of few liberal and
public spirited individuals for some
thing of this kind II this is worth
while and will be Of benefit to this
section that our basketball boys make
this tour it should have the support
Of all interested in the development
Of the Harney country.

A Bunch of Heavvwei0hts

The Washington Sheriffs' associa-
tion meeting held in Colfax this week
was weighty affair, according to
Sheriff James Haviland, who returned
last evening, says the walla Walla
Bulletin. Out of the % sheriffs pres
ent. according to Sheriff HavlIand.
there were but three who weighed
less than 200 pounds. The champion
Of the bunch was Sheriff Fred Ratliff
of Whitman county who can raise
the beam at $50 pounds without bit
Of trouble.
1T was a very enjoyable meeting"
said Mr. Haviland, "and the Colfax
people treated us fine. One of the
principal things considered was the
fee list. Under the present system
the fees which can be secured will not
amount to more than a third the costs
Of trying the cases. At that rate the
people who are not at suit pay about
two-thirds the costs, while the parties
in the law, suits pay one-third. 1t Is
not fair and the sheriffs are going
to try to get a new fee list passed
by the state legislature"
A word to the foolish is always re-
sented.

After Meeting on Grand Nast

II there is any possible chance the
1908 grand lodge meeting of the
Brotherhood Of Owls will be held in
Walla Walla, as the delegates who
will leave for Portland Monday night
to attend the meeting of the grand
nest will do all in their power to land
the convention. They contend that
the meeting this year should have
been held in Walla Walla, but owing
to some manipulation OF original n
tentions, Walla Walla lost out.
The Brotherhood of owls was or
ganized in Walla Walla September
II, 1906, and the grand nest was To-
Gated here. However, some of the
grand lodge officers became dis
gruntled and removed the grand nest
to Seattle.-Walla Walla Bulletin.

300 pupils, arranged so as to have its capacity doubled when future needs demand it, to cost in the neighborhood of $200,0o0 to $250,. 900 including site; the present high school building then being remodeled at moderate expense and equipped for a technical high school. If 1t Is the desire of the board, I should be pleased to go into greater detail concerning the feasibility of ths above three plans.
 One other matter of great though not pressing importance at the pres ent time, I think should be brought to your attention. The Clay street school building extends to within less than eight feet of the northern boundary of It's site and 1t will be readily seen that If brick block should be built on the property ad- joining the schoolhouse on this side, four of the school rooms or one-half of the school building would be rem dered useless for school purposes. If only to preserve the usefulness of the present structure, sufficient amount of land adjoining the north- ern line of the present site should be purchased as soon as possible. Measurements show that there Is sufficient land on which to erect an eight room addition to the present structure, making 16 rooms in all. so that the purchase of this land would not only preserve the present building, but would allow for the doubling of it's capacity. the addi- tlonal land then being necessary for playground uses. This building is most admirably situated to relieve the pressure in the csnter and the portion of Washington Hill.
 This report waa accepted and filed.
