Powell's appeal to Straub does not
pan out any better than his tummy
ache argument. The st. Petersburg
Times says:
"The curfew law of st. Petersburg
is a joke, as there has never been any

For particulars ask Straub OF st.
Petersburg, city with a curfew law;
how efficiently operative the law is
there; how, when the curfew whistle
blows at eight p. m. the minors get
under cover so fast that it disturbs
the balance of the universe!
Once, in an Illinois town, where q
curfew law was established, (and
where the writer published a paper)
the promoters insisted that it be en-
forced to the letter. No youth under
the age of Is could be on the street
after eight o'clock without written
permit from the parent or parents
dated that day. For a few days the
children obeyed the mandate; In
week or two one or two were arrested
and the parents paid nominal fine.
This started war among the citi-
zens. It lasted until the law was re-
pealed. Children returning from
parties, from school exercises, from
church and from prayer meetings
were arrested, or apprehended and
cited to appear in court next day

The details of the wreck of the freight steamship Delhi, by striking the outer end of a jagged reef on the south end of Strait Island, in South. eastern Alaska, as published exclus- lively in Wednesdays Times, show the urgent necessity for more aids to navi. gation in this territory.
 According to the stories of mem. bers of the crew, the Delhi was pro- ceeding from Craig to Wrangell when she met with her disaster. Captain Mccarthy and Pilot Victor Enquist were on the bridge. A filmy haze plotted out all landmarks, and as it was dark, the light on the island was not visible, The Delhi struck bow-on, and water began to pour in from a rent in her hull. Capt Mccarthy ordered lifeboats made ready but it was an hour and half later before they were launched. as the ship was in no immediate danger Finally the Delhi was abandoned, when 1t was feared that her boilers would burst The swell pounded the vessel heavily, ac. cording to the crew, and the ship la. bored on the reef, with her timbers

There prob ably was never a better equipped
 hunting party ever went into the in.

 posed of the sons of prominent east
 tern fnancers, and Morgan says that
 they got all they bargained for and
 more too.
 The boys have had a great trlp and they will no doubt return east with such an enthusiastic account of what Alaska offers to hunters that other parties will come this way next sum- mer. With their moving picture ma. chine, they have taken hundreds of feet of wild animal scenes and hunting expeditions that will later entertain their friends and the public at large perhaps, telling the story better than 1t can be told in print or by words of mouth.
 With their guns they have shot bear' nose, caribou, mountain sheen. fox and smaller game. and they will ship out innumerable trophies of the hunt. Young Morgan brought With him many skins, horns and heads, most of which were secured on the Totlat river in the Mt. Me kinley district. One set of horns measured over five feet nine inches across and projected so far beyond the sides of the load that they had great trouble cutting the trails wide enough In places. Iselin killed grizzly that measured eight feet nine inches from tip to tip, in an unstretched condition.
 Once when taking moving pictures or mountain sheep, they were able to get within forty paces of three rams and remained there for long time The game appeared to be fascinated by the sight of the machine and paid little attention to the men themselves, who smoked and chatted with each other, wondering how long their wild animal friends would remain. Also they secured good picture of foxes at play and some thrilling bear pie lures. These films will be taken out. side for development.
