Go Far South.

The Japanese fur seal, which is the
least abundant, never visits any land
except Robben reef and some tiny
sian fur seal, the next in abundance,
never resorts to any shores except
those of the Commander islands. lying
far Off the east coast of Kamtchatka.
The Alaskan fur seal, far more numer-
Gus than the others, roams over
large part of the eastern Pacific ocean,
as far south as southern California,
and makes an annual pilgrimage to the
Pribilof islands in Boring sea. These
islands, which came to the United
States in 1867, when Russia ceded jur-
isdiction over Alaska, and are the sole
land resort of the Alaskan fur seal,
have brought on the country much do
nestle and international turmoil 1t is
a cause for great satisfaction IN the
United States, as it must be also in
the other countries involved, that wise
craftsmanship has prevailed over any
untoward influences that may have
prevented an earlier settlement of the
fur seal question, and has resulted in
this convention, which insures the res
cue of the depleted fur seal herds of
cial extinction.
Although the seals are easily killed
by the methods adopted by man for
their destruction on sea and land, they
are capable of withstanding great pri-
walton and of undergoing extraordi-
nary muscular eXertion.
To maintain themselves during the
winter without resorting to land is in
itself no small accomplishment for air
breathing, land-breeding animals. The
females, leaving the islands in Novem-
Der, go further south then any other
members of the herd, and in December
appear off southern California, where
they remain until March. They then
begin their long return Journey, reach
ing the islands early in June. The seals
subsist chiefly on squid, but also on
smelt, herring, salmon and other kinds
of fish, which are caught and eaten in
the water.
Easy for the Males.
The bachelor seals, having few re-
sponsibilities and cares, require less
food than the mother seals, and make
less frequent and less expeditions trips
to the feeding-grounds. They pass
much of their time sleeping on land or
playing in the water near the shores.
The old bulls. however. have the most
extraordinary vitality Arriving on the
islands about May l, they remain con-
stantly on land until the last Of July or
the early part Of August without eat
ing a single thing or even drinking,
but living on the great amount OF fat
they have stored up while at sea. Dur
ing all this time they maintain most
/ vigilant watch over their harem. and
are always ready to repel invaders.

their rivals to a finish.

TuE BULL MOOSE CONVENTION,

The fact that the state meeting Of
the Progressive Republican party, or
the Bun Mooscrs AS they are genor-
ally called assemblies In Tulsa shows
that the members Of the party knew
what was the best town in the state
to hold meeting In ana also that
the convention han is necessity,
Everybody irrespective of political
affiliatlon welcomes the Bun Moose
party TO Tulsa. Everybody hopes that
their stay may not only be pleasant
but that some of them at least Will
see It to their advantage to help
Tulsa grow. There is not the slight
est chance for man to lose in Tulsa
real estate now. Fortunes have been
made in the past Ave years and more
fortunes viii be made. The contin-
ucd increase in bank clearings the
continued development Of the oil and
gas industry, the continued increase
in the number OF manufacturing en-
tcrprises, the continued increase in
taxable values all justify the firm be-
lief that Tulsa has really just got
started.
We call the attention Of the visitors
to the fact that there is now being
finished in Tulsa an eight story office
building and five story office build
ing and that every available inch of
space IN both of them was taken be-
fore the foundations were laid. And
even at that there is stIll scarcity
OF office room in this city. And IN
spite Of the almost unbelievable pop
ulation statistics of the past five
years and in spite of an unparalleled
building spurt it is stiIl impossible to
rent desirable residence in this
ETY.
The visitors win have ample op-
portunity to see the best town in the
United States and we are very sure
that the convention win be worth
many thousands of dollars to this
city.

BACK BAY BOSTONESE TO
 REDUCE COST OF LIVING

BOSTON, Jan. BOA determined fight against the high cost of living is being waged by number of prom inent residents of Back Bay, who will soon open cooperative store, where food, coal, wood and other necessi- ties of life will be sold.
 The decision to enlarge from thirty to 15O families comes as the result of the success of the Charles River Cooperative Store, which is in charge of Mrs. Joseph Linden Smith, wife of the artist of that name, of Mount Vernon street; Henry Copley Green, of Chestnut street and Matthew Hale, of Charles River Square.
 The cooperative movement among these Back Bay people grew out of a small beginning launched in the front oarlor of Mrs. R. A. Cram, where boxes of chickens were originally re- ceived, opened and weighed out for fashionable neighbors in front of the fireplace.

Two Conflicting Indian
 Titles On the Waterfront

It has been the accepted belief that an Indian title is about the best ever but. ig the abstract is imprinted only on a failing memory, or tied with rib, bous of family tradition, there is room for doubt.
 The land involved in this suit is just below the Shattuck mill, and in close proximity to the mill site de veIopmeuts of the Alaska-Jmeau Mining 70. The defendants are now in actual physical possession and are driving piles in the tidelaud part of the property in dispute

 Defendants claim title through pur- chase from Ye-Toe-Colic, better known as Aux Bay Jim, whom it is alleged settled upon the land in 1881.
 It is admitted by both sides that Ye-Toe-CoUc and Amatina were broth CTS and it is also admitted by both sides that they occupied the land to- gether. living in cabins closely ad- fonfug Other than this their stories are absolutely contradictory Plain tins ausge and attempted to prove that Amarina settled upon the land first. that he marked the metes and bounds of his domain; that he rolled stones away. building a boatway for his canoes; that he built 8 break water to protect them from storms; that he built the cabin he lived in and other buildings; that the brother was allowed to come and live in a cabin adjoining. that before he died he sent for his grandson.
