MANY BIOLOGISTS IN ALASKA.
Large Amount of Surveying Accom-
plished by u S. Geographical Survey.

The mineral resources of Alaska in
1911 are described by Alfred II. Brooks
and other biologists engaged in the
Alaskan work of the United States geo
logical survey, in bulletin 500, just is
sued.
Thirteen geological survey parties
were employed during 1911 in Alaskan
surveys and investigations, the personnel
including IL biologists, 4 topographers,
2 engineers, and 30 packers, cooks and
other auxiliaries. The length of the
field season ranged from three to six
months. being limited by the climatic
conditions prevailing in different parts
of the territory. The areas covered by
geologic exploratory surveys amounted
to 5000 square miles; by geologic recon-
naissance surveys, 10,550 square miles;
by detailed geologic surveys, 496 square
miles. About ID, 460 square miles was
covered by topographic reconnaissance
surveys and PIG square miles by detailed
topographic surveys. Sixty-eigft sta
tions for the measurement of stream
flow were maintained in the Yukon
Tanana region. The work included areas
in the Copper river basin, Prince VIII
liam sound, kenai peninsula, Susitna
basin, Yukon Tanana region, northeast

THE
SORREL WIG
BY ELIZABETH WEED

Dear old motherly Mrs. Cruikshank
was all heart. She took me into her
house at the time Of my mother 4
death and cared for me. She said II
was because she was lonely, her son
being sailor and away from her
nearly all the time, and that / was
very good to stay with her and all
that. 1t was no use to combat her as
to this, and l saw that to remind her
continually Of my obligation distressed
ser, SO / let her have her say In the
matter. She was funny little body,
full of crotchets, and one must humor
them.
Shortly before Mrs. Crulkshank took
me In her son Albert sailed on voy-
age, to be gone three years. l was
seventeen then, just the age to be
thinking of a lover, and his photo
graph hanging in the parlor caught my
fancy. It represented boy Of eight
cen In sailor costume, his collar rolling
away from his neck, his hair tumbled
and frank, fearless face. The old
lady never tired Of talking to me about
him and one day said to me:
III you'll be a. good girl and stay
with me till he comes back, perhaps
I'll give him to you-if you want him."
/ smiled at this way of putting 1t and
told her that any girl who wouldn't
want such fine looking fellow as that
wouldn't deserve to have husband
at ALL
When the time came round for Bert
to be coming home he wrote his moth
err that he had been promoted to be
first mate and he hoped 1t wouldn't be
long before he would have a ship Of
his own. His mother read me this part
of the letter with every appearance
that she considered me interested In
It on my own account, and didn't dis
turb her in her opinion.

took my hair with 1t, leaving me as
bald as billiard ball. True, my hair
began TO grow again and just before
Albert's arrival was about half an
inch long all over my head. l conld

immensely, for my hair was my most
attractive feature. and without 1t at
least considered myself very homely

Mrs. Cruikshank went to the city
one day to procure the article and
came home with one whose color was
unique. The nearest word by which
to describe 1t Is sorrel. told the good
lady that It was beautiful, which COM
forted her greatly, for she said it had
been offered to her for half price and
she feared the reduction was owing to

GOLD DEPOSITS DESCRIBED.
Trinity County, California, Described by
Government GeoIogist.

The "Gold Lodes of the Carrville Dis
trict, Trinity County, California" i:
the subject of a brief report by ID. +
Macdonald, of the United States geolog-
zeal survey, just issued as bulletin $50
ID.
In 1909 Mr. Macdonald visited the
Carrville district and gathered some data
on its mining geology, and a report on
the gold gravels of the region was pub
lshed by the survey in bulletin $50; but
the authors baggage and notes were
burned before anything on the geology
of the gold lodes was written. Another
visit to the region was therefore made
and the results are now published. The
growing economic Importance of this
mining district. Mr.. Mcdonald states,
merits notice and he expresses the hope
that his report will attract attention to
the end that mining in general may be
benefited. The total gold output Of the
district from 1890 to 1910 is stated to be
s7,747 .9o6.
The future prospects of the district
are believed to be very good and il is
thought that before long several small
to moderate sized gold properties will be
put on paying basis. OF course
branch railroad connecting with the
Southern Pacific railroad would greatly
benefit the district Such a railroad
would derive income, not only from the
quartz and placer mining interests but
from the rich agricultural lands in the
valley bottoms and from the lumber
business. II is true that much of the
timber Is within the Trinity national
forest, but the ripe product is sold of
AZ intervals and this together with the
timber from private holdings makes the
numbering industry important.

INSPECTOR SAYS SPRAY
FOR LEAF BLISTER"

County Fruit Inspector j. f.
Burke issues the following to the or
chardists.
The leaf blister mite is causing
considerable trouble in the young
pear orchards. Having had num-
Der of inquiries concerning this pest
| wish to say every precaution should
be taken to keep this little insect in
check. The leaves attacked will be
found to be covered with red spots,
which soon turn black. This disease
is called the leaf blister mite.
ITO rid your trees of this trouble,
spray now with kerosene emulsion,
and in the fall give a good spraying
with lime sulphur, To make the
kerosene emulsion use one pound of
whale oil soap, two gallons of kero-
sene to 60 gallons of water. Dis
solve the soap in hot water, add the
kerosene and mix by running the
whole through your spray pump.
This makes five gallons of stock
solution, which will keep for months
If you do not want to use 1t all at
one spraying. Dilute and use ac-
cording to your needs.
Use this solution also for aphis,
leaf miner and all sucking insects.
The second spraying with arsenate
of lead for colding moth will come
about two weeks later than the first
application.
II find a number of growers have
not yet sprayed for this pest. If you
delay until the moth has entered the
fruit, all the spraying in the world
will be of no benefit to you. The
main idea is to get the spray on in
time, and keep 1t on until the fruit
is about ready to pick. That is the
only sure remedy | have found by
personal experience. This spray is
not expensive, is easy to apply and
the results fully repay you for your
work If fail to get around to all
as often as you wish and you have
special need of my services let me
know by phone.

no NATURALIZATION y
PAPERS FOR SOCIALIST

SEATTLE, May 1l.-No decision
ever rendered by any local court has
aroused keener discussion here than
the opinion OF Judge c. H. Hanford
OF the United States district court of
Washington, handed down late yes
terday afternoon, annulling the cit
izenship of Leonard OLSON OF Ia
coma, because he admitted he is a
socialist, frequenter of assemblages
OF socialists in which he participates
as a speaker, advocating a propa-
ganda for radical changes in the in
stitutions of the country" and that
he entertained those views at the
time he applied for his naturaliza-
tion papers more than two years
ago.
This is probably the first case In
the history of the country where a
mans citizenship was cancelled by
court procedure because of political
opinions, and II sustained by the high
est courts, it may lead to the depri-
walton of citizenship rights of thous-
ands of socialists, according to legal
opinions here today.
Judge Hanford holds that the prin-
ciple of socialism which proposes
that all Industrial institutions should
become the common property of the
people is dangerous heresy con-
trary to the constitutional guarantee
OF life, liberty and property
The decision says further Those
who believe in and propagate crude
theories hostile to the constitution
are barred"
The court concludes that because
of these opinions, "Olsson had no
reverence for the constitution, nor
intention to support and defend it
against enemies" when he applied
for citizens papers, and that "he in
tentionally deceived the court in the
representations he made at that
time; that he secured his naturaliza-
tion certificates by perpetrating
fraud on the court
Many leading lawyers here believe
that Judge Hanford's decision is so
sweeping that the citizenship of any
foreigner, who at the time of his APP
plication, entertains any views look
ing to changes in the government
even by constitutional amendments,
may be revoked. The opinion is so
broad, they hold, that advocates of
government ownership, initiative,
referendum, recall, or any other
change in governmental theory, may
thus lose their citizenship If for
eign born and If it can be proved
that they held the same views when
the court granted them naturaliza-
tion.
In his decision Judge Hanford fur
ther said: "Olsson claimed to have
a clear understanding of the consti-
tuition of the United States and knew
that by one of its articles depriya-
tion of life, liberty or property with
out due process Of law is forbidden,
and yet the evidence introduced in
his behalf proved that the party with
which he is affiliated has for its
main object the complete elimination
of property rights in this country.
"He expressed himself as being
willing for people to retain their
money, but insisted that all the land,
buildings and industrial institutions
should become the common property
of all the people, which object is TO
be obtained, according to his belief
by use of the ballot, and when that
object shall be attained, the political
government Of the country will be
entirely abrogated, because there will
