FREAKS OF TIDE AND ALASKA LIFE
 ARE DESCRIBED

A letter received from J. D. lief ferson on a recent boat gives some interesting facts about the recent high tide which struck Prince Will liam Sound. MT. Jefferson, who was formerly postmaster in Valdez, is at present engaged in running fox ranch at Bald Head Chris Island, and has promised our readers some interesting articles on fax farming in the near future. Following is the letter, printed in the Valdez Pros pector.
 q never realized until the other day when the tide was so high what the term drifting with the tide real ly meant, and it was some tide, 22 feet, inches from extreme high tide, to extreme low, washed three of the lower front steps out, leading up to the house from the waters edge, 0eft five but will have to take them down to make a good job of it), it came with such a rush and roar that the island was singing in cessantly, and the drift, that came in did some of the most uncanny things. for instance about a month ago, I cut a log in two on the east erly side of the island. It was too heavy to handle as one log, and started to tow the two in, one. roped behind the other, in coming around the point I met a choppy sea and the line between the logs parted l came on in with the one log, going back for the other in about half an hour. couldn't find it, although l rowed clear around the island, and since that time I have kept looking for that log, not for the great value but felt peeved that I should loose it in the way that I did. Well, at the high tide here came that log drifting in, and from the wrong way. or opposite direction from. where l left it. Another log that I had thought of bringing in, when l got to it, came drifting in. Just then was too busy to tie it up, thinking
 well it is safe and I'll get 1t later on.' It didn't stop, but just made a tour of the lagoon, then went out and is now within twenty-feet of where it was before it started on its journey; it is so high up now that it will be long time before anoth- CT tide is high enough to float it. I have four little friends that are pretty regular to their meals, two jaybirds, and two magpies. how they talk and scold if there is any delay The magpies are getting a little fresh though, for they want to come in and help get the dinner, and never did like to be watched when was trying to cook.

GERMAN EMPIRE IS DEPENDANT
 ON WOMAN LABOR

In even first lass restaurants girls and women nave replaced the walters. The raveler who enters hotel en- counters a porter in long skirts. vho carries out his behests as quick y as before.
