Recently a shoe buyer called at a
Lynn factory and said he wanted a pair
of party slippers in a hurry. The firm
didn't happen to have a pair of the
right kind in stock, so it undertook to
make them Immediately. The material
was assembled, lasts and patterns chosen
and the shoes were cut, stitched, lasted,
finished and packed ready for delivery
in 20 minutes. The firm considered the
record but fairly fast time.

According to a news item the buckle
berry season is now at its height in
Pennsylvania, and the mining officials
in the Schuylkill region say that the
picking of the berries is interfering
greatly with the operation of the coal
mines. The miners can earn three
times the money picking and selling
huckleberries that they could earn at
their regular occupation, so they have
deserted the mines and are spending
their time with their families in the
berry patches. 1t is estimated that
the district will yield this year at least
10, 900, 900 quarts of huckleberries.

WULGA---
BY v. NJ. Jones.

VALDEZ, Alaska, Feb. 10
Away up In the interior of Alaska,
on the banks of the Copper river,
lives Wulga, widow of Stickwan,
last of the hereditary chiefs of the
Copper River Indians. Just how
old she is no one knows. She does
not know herself.
Before the advent of the white
man, Wulga lived in plenty. At
her threshold rolled river TEEN
ing with salmon. In sight, across
the river, miles and miles of carl
bou fence" evidence of which
still remains, testified to the vast
herds that roamed the hills. Wul-
ga was content.
One day. 25 years ago, the ex-
petition of Lieut.. Allen stumbled,
spent and starving, into the sum
mer home of Stickwan. Wulga
was there and she shared the last
shred of dried salmon in the cache
with the destitute men. They were
all but dead. Her dried salmon
and simple knowledge of medicine
undoubtedly saved the whole
party.
This was % years ago.
Now, Wulga, almost bedridden
with disease, brought about by
hunger and exposure. is an object
lof charity, dependent upon rela-
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1912-02-19

tives as destitute as she. The gov-
eminent has appropriated money
70 care for her, but that money is
performing another function.
Is it right that Wulga, wife of a
chief and the savior of the Allen
party. should suffer as she does?
Have you ever really known
hunger? Have you any idea what
1t means? Wulga can tell you.
In the salmon season her spent
old muscles perform the labor
that the white man disdains-cut-
ting and curing fish. Later she
gathers berries; II she is able to
crawl to the patches, never COM
planning, bearing her misery with
the stoicism of her race. Perhaps
Wulga's face will be missing from
among the pinched, uncompre-
bending faces of the Copper River
Indians next year. Perhaps the
death to which she has looked for
ward many years now will release
her.
We bought her when we bought
the treasures OF gold, copper and
coal. We bought her when we
bought the seal and caribou and
wolf. We protect the seal ana
caribou and wolf. but we allow
Wuiga, widow of a chief and the
mother Of men. to starve in land
whose boast is plenty.

GOES OVER TO
ROOSEVELT

(By United Press Leased Wire
NEW YORK. Feb. 19.--Gov-
.ernor Hiram Johnson of Califor-
MIA, apparently released from his
allegiance to Senator LaFollette
as progressive candidate for the
presidency, today issued a formal
statement declaring for Theodore
Roosevelt as leader of the fight
to beat President Taft.
Johnson recently conferred at
length with Colonel Roosevelt
and other leading progressives
and last week saw LaFollette in
Washington when, 1t Is believed,
the Wisconsin senator released
the California governor from pre-
vious promises of support.
1t is believed that when the
progressive slate is made up
Johnson will be found in the po-
sition of Roosevelt's running
mate as a candidate for the vice
presidency.
THE admiration of California
progressives for Senator LaFol-
lette is undiminished; they rec
ognize his splendid services, and
great sacrifices for the cause. In
California, however, with the
cause ever the determining fac
tor, it is obvious that progressive
policies can best be accomplished
at present through the leadership
of Theodore Roosevelt.
-Four years ago Roosevelt
turned over to his successor a
republican party at the high tide
of its success. when 1t was en-
trenched in the confidence OF all.
Today, with its record of the
past three years, the republican
party is at its ebb, with conf
dence In 1t sadly shaken. With
but rare exceptions 1t is only
where progressiveism has been
victorious that the state govern
ments are yet responsible and to
continue with leader whose
three years of power have
wrought such disaster could mean
only political suicide.
CLEAR cut, therefore, is the sit
uation. Shall the people rule,
shall Roosevelt, their choice. be
nominated, or shall republicans
court certain defeat by the nomi-
nation of one whose trusteeship
has wrecked the party?"

Mountain lions. Plenty of 'em in
the foothills of California. This
beast is one of the few species
that is not yet extinct. 1t still
preys upon the, mountaineer' g
stock. Young steers, sheep and
hogs are his for the taking. He
does his work at night.
During the summer season
mountain lions migrate to the up
per mountains in search of food.
Hardly are they ever seen near
the plains. But when heavy snow
storms rage in the high Sierras
they are forced to seek a lower
altitude, and then are driven down
near the foothills together with
countless deer, quail and noun
tain doves.
Hunters usually follow the
mountain lion at night. It's
shrek is like that of a child.
When its cry is heard, the hunter
whistles for his hounds and in
the dead of might the tracks of
the beast are followed until he is
brought to bay. The Hounds force
him from his hiding place, and the
hunters rifle does the rest.
This lion was killed near the
mountain ranch of e. d. Crooks,
