Portland, Ore, Feb 16.-A search for
treasure on the ocean bottom off Alas
ka will be begun by divers this spring,
in an effort to recover the valuables
lost when the Russian sloop of war
Neva sunk off Cape Hitcom sixty years
ago. Acting under permission of the
War Department, C. F. Stagger, a
diver and wrecker, will undertake to
recover the lost treasure. The Rus
sian residents of Sitka declare there
are many articles of gold aboard the
sunken ship, including altar images for
the Greek Church at Sitka. Some of
these according to tradition, were of
unusual value. Several are supposed
to be of solid gold, and the elaborate
display of the Greek Church permitted
the use of gems and precious metals
In their construction. There is one
crucif1x in particular which was great
ly venerated at the time, and had
been specially sent to the thriving
Greek Church at Sitka, the outpost Of
the Russian settlement on the Ameri.
can continent. Besides the relics, the
divers expect to recover the copper
boilers, guns and other articles OF
brass and copper on the ship. She
carried six guns, ten Founders, and the
usual armament of small rifles and
cntlasses.

London, Feb. 16.-One of T.ondon's
oldest and largest department stores
has three hundred men in one regi-

pany which the firm put into uniform
and maintained at it's own expense.
This tradition has been continued
ever since and the company maintain
ed at the store has made an enviable
record in the country's militia, taking
many prizes by shooting and other
military activities. Thirty-five men,
bers of the company served in the
South African War and thirty-three
