(St. Louis Republican,

According to a Philadelphia manu-
facturer of neckties, nine men out of
ten in the United States get neckties
for Christmas. This statement, he
says, is borne out by statistics, but we
fail to find anything in the official cen
sus reports to bear him out and ven
ture to doubt if the number of men
receiving handkerchiefs and socks do
not outnumber the recipients of neck
wear when the stockings are taken
down from the mantel and emitted.
But, be that as it may, it is certain
that neckties by the millions will
change hands at Christmas, and this
despite the fact that a woman's in
capacity in the selection of neckties
for men is placed by experts upon as
low level as her judgment of Christ
mas cigars in an orthodox humorous

There is no doubt that the cigar joke
has tended to depress Christmas bust
ness for the tobactonst, while IT is
equally certain that all the shafts Of
ridicule which have been brought e.,
bear against the feminine purchaser
OF neckties have deferred her not one
whit. The reason is plain. She knows
she is right. 1t is woman's mission to

Judge Robert W. Jennings has just handed down ruling in case which will be of great interest to Aiaskans generally. It is his ruling on the ease of the New England Fish company vs. l.. D. Ryus, in which the fish company was suing for the possession of tide lands ill front of their property at the south end of town. The decision was in favor of the plaintiff company in every in stance, the ease being divided under three heads or questions, all of which the Judge answers affirmatively. The questions were: Ills the plaintiff the owner of certain uplands in .Alaska!n What is the nature and extent of the littoral rights of an awner of upland in Alaskan" "1s the defenlent obstructing or inter- .esing with the rights of the plain tiffl'
 Judge Jennings ruled that the New England company holding the final receipt of the land office, quit claim deeds from prior owners, and having improved and is using the upland lis the owner, in possession of and entitled to the possession of the up- land in question and vested with the usual littoral rights" thus set ting the first question,
 The answer to the second question is more involved than that of the first. and the judge cites several cas- es similar to the one in question, in which he showed that

DECISION IN IMPORTANT CASE--NEW
 ENGLAND FISH CO. WINS

the owner of upland was entitled to the use of the waterfront in tease ment,' and the New England having shown that they needed the .".. shoreline in front of their l.vs for the purpose of prosecuting .4 business, the decision on thls pom. was also in their favor.
 By thus affirmatively answering questions one and two, question No, 3 was automaticly disposed of, and the Court concluded its opinion us follows:
 ''The Court is not disposed to calculate to an inch or foot, or even ten feet, just how much of the tideland will be required: It is satls- fled from the evidence that the plaln. tiff is ill good faith, and that all the waterfront abutting On its land is reasonably necessary to enable it to have that free access to which it is entitled.
 That defendant S structures on the tideland constitute an obstruction to this access stands to reason.
 ''The findings and the decree are therefore for the plaintiff.
 The proceedings and suit were start ed July IS, 1912, and the evidence was submitted and the case argued last December. The plaintiff company was represented by L. B. Stedman of Seattle, and Chas. E. Ingersoll of Ketchikan. Vim & Burton of Ju- neau, and Chas. H. Cosgrove of Ket- ehikan, represented the defendant.
