men, are considering the advisabiIity
of forming a company to operate, under
the American flag, service similar to
that begun by the Ocean Rhederei with
its submersible freighter Deutschland
The success of the trip of the Deutsch-
land and the huge profits which are
already assured-the cost of that vessel
being practically paid by her first
voyage-lead those who are planning
the new venture to expect IL to prove
successful financially.
The papers will be signed soon, barring
unexpected developments.

Incidentally, Lake explained, he drew
plans several years ago for an under-iee
submarine for a Canadian Railway. to rur

WORK ST OPS ON q. ELIAS
 LIGHT

According to reports of men who have been employed on the construc- tion of the lighthouse at Cape St. Elias, the appropriation for that pur- pose has been exhausted, and the work has been stopped. No further work can be done on the lighthouse. it is said, until another appropriation has been made, and the lighthouse. which was supposed to have been completed this fall, will not be finished until next summer.
 The St. Elias light, as planned, will be one of the most powerful lights on the coast, and also it is one of the most necessary aids to navigation, and the lack of this light will be felt by mariners if the reports of work hay ing been stopped are true.
 Among the men who returned from the work are Joe Malloy. C. C. Carl son, F. F. Thomas and F. Hanson.

HOUSE FAMINE |S APPARENT TO
 STRANGER

w. H. Coulter, representing the Pa cific Building & Loan & Savings As sociation of Tacoma, is much interest ed in the apparent necessity for more homes in -Cordova.
 He asserts that the necessity is plain even to a visitor, and thinks it is up to the people of the community to see that the strangers who antici- pate coming here are properly housed.
 Coulter asserts that the people of this city who are members of his as sociation easily can get the necessary money with which to build if they wish, and that others may be able to have their ventures financed if the local business men would organize an association along the lines of the com pany which he represents.
 Many people in the city today are seriously considering the possibility of evolving some scheme whereby houses may be built for the rapidly increasing population of Cordova, and it is certain that something will be done within the next few days.

NEW PROCESS TO SAVE GOLD A I
 L|TUYA

That the gold contained in the ruby sands of Lituya bay is highly oxidized and will not stick to a blanket or riff file plate is the belief of Frank P. Cook, we'll known mining man of Spo- kane and Juneau, who has just re turned from a trip to mining property there in which he is interested.
 q think about half of the gold is going over the plates and lost" said Mir. Cook this morning. "The gold is very fine, and believe 1t is heav- fly oxidized, which accounts for Its flowing over the plates. I made tests of a number of places where sluice boxes were being used. In nearly every instance, by banning the tail ings we could get extremely good re- suits.
 q have been Investigating the sand of Lituya bay for a number of years. and have samples of the sands from there with me now, and I will ship them below for tests. I believe that to recover the fine gold 1t will be necessary to use machinery. I have an idea that by using concentrator tables of a certain make, and then treating the concentrates. much gold can be recovered which is now being wasted.
 We could get good colors and tests wherever we banned, whether we used a pan or shovel. The gold is there If it can be saved, and I now have the right process, I believe. Harry Will Hams and myself have about 5000, 900 cubic yards of the sand, and it will run about dollar a yard. At the present yard by using sluice boxes and rifles and by banning, the men at work there are making a little better than wages. If our system proves it. self we will make better than wages and nor egold will come from Lituya bay than from any other section of Alaska" he said.
 Mr. Cook left Juneau some three weeks ago for Lituya, accompanied by Dick Jones. They returned yesterday with the samples of sand, and are at the ccidental.-Empire.

D|vORCEES LIKE TO MARRY
 AGAIN

SACRAMENTO, Cal, July 25.-The tendency to remarry is much stronger among divOrcees than among widows in California, according to the statis- tics for the last ten years. compiled by the state bureau of vital statistics. Also these statistics disclose that wo- men are more apt to remarry after former union has been ended either by death or divorce than are men.
 In 1915 the widows marrying again surpassed the widowers by 443, or 16.S per cent. In 1906 the excess of wid- ows over widowers was only 1S6, or 94 per cent, the proportion having in- creased generally throughout the ten year period.
 The excess of divoreees over di- vOrced men is about twice that of widows over widowers. The divorcees remarrying in 1915 outnumbered di- yorced men by no less than SIS, or 2S.G per cent. The corresponding ex- cess in 1906 was 37S, or 29.1 per cent, the proportion having fluctuated slightly during the whole ten years.
 The excess in the number of mar riages between bachelors and widows or divorcees over the total weddings between spinsters and widowed or di- vorced men was 1.261, or 4S,2 per cent in 1915, difference Of aDoue one-half. In 1906 the corresponding excess was only 564, or 33.7 per cent, or only about one-third.
 In 1915, moreover, the weddings be- tween bachelors and divorcees sur passed those between spinsters and di- vorced men by TIC, or 52.2 per cent, while the unions between bachelors and widows exceeded those of spin sters with widowers by only 493, or ,42.9 per cent Hence, it is inferred by the bureau report, fair divorcee is not only more likely to remarry than a widow, but also is more apt than her former spouse to wed a mate never married before.

SUN SHINES IN CORDOVA MOST
 OF TIME

It has rained in Cordova but four days this month so far, and Of the POS days of the present year this city has enjoyed the sunshine 133 days, ac- cording to records kept by Fred Schil- Ter. The other days of the year are divided as follows: Rain, AS days, snow, 20 days; clear, days.
 The hottest day of the year, accord ing to Schiller, was June IA, when the thermometer registered 6S degrees in the shade. By a peculiar coincidence the same day last year also was the hottest of the season. the thermometer registering S4 degrees. The coldest day of the year thus far was January 20. when the mercury registered de- grees below.
 Although the sunshine this year has been very plentiful the average tenn perature of the city for the year thus far is 10 degrees lower than last year. The records of the weather are kept by Schiller for his own convenience, and in the absence of a government station, are the only reliable statistics available in Cordova.
 Fred also claims to be able to fore cast the weather with the aid of a real German prognosticator, which he has in his restaurant. This consists of witch and Hans and Gretchen. When the weather is to be fine, Hans and Gretchen come out to play, but if rain is coming, the old witch comes out of doors.
 Fred says the "prognosticator" Is reliable Today the witch is out

SAYS CATTLE ON SALMON ARE
DOING FINE

Henry Nelson. of the firm OF Nelson
Bros, the Salmon river cattlemen, was
In town the first of the week on his
way home from Lewiston where he
was recently called on business. Mr..
Nelson dropped into the Globe office
while in town and entered protest
against the reports which regular
correspondent to county paper from
that section has been sending out, to
the effect that the cattle raisers had
suffered heavy losses this winter on
account of the snow and cold weather
and rolling. Mr.. Nelson says this
Is untrue, that the cattlemen were well
prepared to take care of their stock
and that they have done well up to the
present time in spite of weather con-
ditionS. He says the Salmon river
section is one of the greatest cattle
countries extant, and that such un-
founded reports are calculated to give
wrong impression to those not con-
versant with the facts There is no
place where a COW or steer is not
lost now and then from natural caus-
es, but the causes set forth by the
correspondent are not true, declared
Mr.. Nelson.

SPLENDID ENTERTAINMENT
COURSE,

Mrs. NJ. NJ. Day, the capable lady
representative of the Redpath Lyceum
bureau broke through the snow block
ade between here and Cottonwood
Monday night of this week, for the
purpose of signing up Grangeville for
the best course of high class enter
tainment attractions that has ever
been presented to any city or town in
the northwest. Having succeeded in
accomplishing her purpose and leaving
everybody in a pleasant frame of
mind the lady is preparing to take the
train out in the morning for new
fields
The matter was placed before the
ladies Civic club and the Commercial
club for their consideration, and after
getting the concensus of opinion by a
few hours work among the business
men by Mrs. Day, Mrs. Rice and Mrs.
Norwood, the best to be had on the
excellent amusement bill of fare was
selected and the contract closed, and
the citizens of Grangeville and vicin-
ity are guaranteed as choice a course
of entertainment for next fall and
winter as can be patronized in any
city east or west.
The season tickets which are placed
at a very low price, will prove a
great saving to those who desire to
attend this most excellent course of at
fractions, the regular price of admis-
sion to one of the numbers alone is
only a few cents under the cost of
the season ticket which admits to all.
A low price to the high school pupils
will be made, and still lower price
to the seventh graders, which will
practically guarantee the attendance
of almost the entire school to all of
the numbers, thus cultivating a taste
in the young people for the higher
class character of entertainment

GRANGEVILLE HAS BEST AR
MORY IN THE STATE.

The Official Bulletin of the National
Guards of Idaho, just issued, speaks
of the newly formed Grangeville COM
pany and the armory which they have
in the following eulogistic terms:
General p. Fl. Crow and Lieut.. Max
B. CARRIER, inspector instructor, visit
ed Grangeville and inspected the new
company there on Dec. 18th, with a
view to determining it's acceptability
as part of the National Guard. The
armory is the best in the state. It af-
fords a good drill hall, good gallery
range, splendid club and store rooms
and plenty Of additional rooms for
squad instruction or schools. Every
thing considered, the company starts
with the brightest of prospects. After
the inspection a dance was attended,
and 1t is conceded that the general
carried of all the honors."

BILL" " BISSON
MEETS MORE
MISFORTUNE
Escapes From Asylum; Badly
Frozen; Receives Bird
Shot in Face.

Bill Bisson, the well known charac-
ter who has made Grangeyille his
home off and on for a number of years
and who was recently sent to the san
itarium at Orofino for treatment men
tally, has just undergone a severe or
deal of exposure and accident which
would try the strongest constitution.
The people here will all be sorry to
learn of his misfortune. According
to the Lewiston Tribune's account of
the matter, Bill is suffering from
frozen feet, a load of fine shot in the
face and hands BADLY injured by falls
sustained while wandering about the
country, one finger being broken.
Bill escaped from the asylum some
time last week, and wandered into the
Reubens country, where he was taken
in charge Monday evening by Consta-
BILE Gardner, who, with other officers,
had been notified of the escape, and
was taken to his home until the asy-
lum management could be notified of
his apprehension. Bill, who undoubt-
edly was trying to make his way back
to Grangeville, to "the little family"
which he always talked about to ey-
erybody, made his escape in the night
from the constable's home, the officer
pursuing, and carrying along with him
shotgun loaded with fine shot. He
tracked the fugitive through snow
knee deep, but did not succeed in over
taking him until sometime the next
morning, when he found him stagger-
ing along barefooted, he having some
time in the night for some unaccount-
able reason taken off his shoes and
part of his clothing, and the raiment
he had ON would hardly have protect
ed him even in the summer time. In
this condition he had Travelled some
seven hours in the extremely cold
weather and deep snow and was in
an exhausted and almost frozen con-
dition. During the night search the
officer had fired his shotgun at what
he supposed was some kind of an ami
NAL, but it must have been Bill, for
his face was full of fine bird shot
when the officer captured him. Bis
son was taken to Lewiston where he
received medical treatment and was
later taken to the asylum again. Bis
sons younger children are In the or
phans home in Lewiston, the daugh-
ter has a position In Lewiston, and
the boy is In the St. Anthony school.
