USED 70 LIFE or HARDshIPs


Alaskans, probably like other pio-
neer peoples. are so much accustomed
to perils and hardships of various
kinds that many deeds Of reckless
hardihood pass practically unnoticed
which in the States would receive
much acclaim. A case in point was
the act of Miss Ella Fleming last Feb
ruary in risking her life upon the
treacherous seas of Prince William
Sound while searching for her father.
W. H. Fleming, the owner OF Fleming
Island, and her sweetheart, Harry
Jones, the latter well known among
western college men as former star
Of the Washington university football
team. Fleming, accompanied by
Jones, left Fleming Island In power
boat to deliver two blue foxes to Guy
Whitehead, owner of q big fox ranch
on Knights Island. The engine broke
down and a high wind carried away
their only sail. The boat finally drift
ed on. to the rocks Of Montague Island
where the men lived on clans for t7vo
DAYS until they succeeded in improvis-
ing a boat from the wreckage and drift
..::s.sa:Ser found upon the beach. Their
only tool was a jack knife. Nails.
which were driven with stones, were
secured by burning them from the
wrecked timbers of the power boat,
while sea grass was used for caulking
With this boat they reached Green
Island after rowing II hours.
In the meantime Miss Fleming be-
came alarmed at their failure to return
aud despite the high wind and heavy
sea then running launched small row,
boat and started in search, finally
landing at La Touche, rs miles away,
from which poirt rescue party went
out and found the shipwrecked marin
ers. How the young woman survived
is the wonder OF seamen. Upon ar
rival at La Touchs her clothing was
30 heavily coated with ice and frozen
so solidly to the seat of the rowboat
that an ak had to be used to cut 1t
loose before she could be lifted from
the boat.
Upon hearing of the safety of her IA
tier and fiance she promptly tainted.

oriuinaI Sea sernents.

The National museum at Washing.
.on contains notable display of; the
Zones of several species of extinct
mammals which. If seen alive in the
ocean, would be called huge sea SER
2ents. They were carnivorous, and
their long, slender jaws were armed
with formidable teeth. Although 4
sew remaining individuals of the group
may have given actual basis for. the
sea-serpent stories, these extinct ami
mails were net reptiles, but manmais
which, like the whale and seal and
tier. had happened to evolve in an
2quatic environment.

Ches*nuts.

Chestnut blight has already done
damage estimated at close to $4,000.

can and European species, but does
little damage to these from Japan and
China. Plant breeders by crossing
Japanese chestnut and native chinqua.
pin have produced resistant trees.
Some OF the Chinese chestnuts are
said to grow 100 feet high in their
home forests. ~

One of the things that Washington
IS noticing about Mrs. Wilson Is the
fact that she, the owner Of jewefry
business that has been established for

herself. One really handsome orna-

for even on state occasions. and most
frequently she wears none. People
observed, with grin Of rather mall

LARGE CROWD
At OPENING Of
BASS STORE
MANY INSPECTED MAMMOTH
STORE LAST NIGHT - ESTA5-
lISHMENT is REVELATION TO
MANY.

The formal opening of the Bass
Furniture company's new store yes
terday afternoon and last night was
distinctive event in the mercantile
annals of the city. For many weeks
workmen have been striving TO get
everything in readiness for the public
but it was not until yesterday that
the doors were thrown open for the
first time to the citizens of the city
and an opportunity given to inspect
the magnificent stock which the COM
pany has installed here.
Manager +. b. Reid was the recip-
lent of many compliments on the ap-
pearance of the store and stock. The
building was thronged from the open
ing to the closing hours, and carna-
tions and sweet peas were the favors
bestowed upon the lady guests.
At night music was furnished by
the knights of Pythias Saxophone
Sextette, which rendered a most de-
lightful program.
J. NJ Bass and wife of Oklahoma
City were here for the opening. Mr..
Bass is head of the company and is
well pleased with the prospects here.
The firm starts with eight employees
but expects to add to the force as the
trade which they expect will de-
mand. f. b. Reid, manager of the
house. is well known to the furniture
trade of the state, and already has
made many warm friends in the city
ID. NJ. Bennett lis the bookkeeper and
accountant. and B. X. Kerby has
charge of the carpet and drapery de-
partment.
The Bass store is decidedly the
largest establishment of its charac-
ter in the city, and enters business
here with every indication that it will
achieve the success its owners eX-
pect. The opening last night was
revelation to many of our citizens
who were not looking for as large an
establishment as has been opened
here.

FUNSTON WILL
HAVE TROOPS
GUARD ROAD
THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC TRACKS
FROM SAN ANTONIO TO e.
PASo TO BE GUARDED BY SOL
DlERS.

San Antonio, Tex, May 16.-Majol
General Frederick Funston and his
chief of staff, Major Malvern Hill
Barnum, worked out many details
Monday of the plan of reorganization
of the border patrol while reports
from General Pershing and from the
size how incidental the American
operations south of the border have
become. General Pershing's troops
drew closer together and gave no
sign that early resumption of the
chase of Francisco Villa was contem-
plated Colonel Sibley is driving his
little command of cavalry some sixty
miles south of Boquillas but at head
quarters little hope that he will cap
ture the bandits or rescue Jesse
Demeer whom they carried away, is
displayed.
The safeguarding of the Southern
Pacific railway from here to El Paso
was decided upon Monday and as
quickly as possible troops will be sent
to every bridge along the line. In
the event of military operations on a
big scale the use of that railroad
would be imperative. For a great
part of the distance the line parallels
the Rio Grande, and, unless guarded
its cutting would be comparatively
simple.
Agents of the department of justice
talked with General Funston regard
ing information indicating plans for
riding across the border near
Brownsville and representatives of
property owners in that district also
made representations to him on which
they based suggestions that more
troops be sent there.
The thirteenth infantry arrived
Monday night but no announcement
was made as to its station other than
that for the present it would be held
here for distribution.

THE BOOSTER MEETING

The Business Mems association
and the Chamber of Commerce need
not doubt the response to their eff
forts to get Ardmore boosting as a
unit for Ardmore. All the people
have needed is chance to show their
loyalty and patriotism for their home
town. We all know that great things
are in store for this section of the
country. and the rank and file OF the
people are anxious and willing to do
their part.
Hitherto Ardmore has suffered for
lack of place where her people
could all get together and discuss
the needs of the city. II is fortunate
that we will have an opportunity TO
get together in a love feast once,
and there is no reason why the same
facilities should not be allowed to
stand until better facilities are pro.
vided. as they undoubtedly will in the
course of events.
