SeldOvia News Notes by Correspondent; Herring
 Season Was Prosperous

SELDOVIA, Jan. 15.-(Special CorreSpondence) )-Russian Christmas and New Years was observed with considerable ceremony and everyone had splendid time during masquer- ade week. Some of the costumes worn and some of the advertising stunts were very good, especially on Judge Nordyke and Capt. Fillmore.
 The pack of herring is about com plete because there are no more bar rels and salt at hand and the last coun: puts the pack at over l,150 bar rels. Some of the large barrels (220) lbs needed only 260 fish to pack them full. About half the pack has been brought to Seldovia and is ready for shipment.
 The Northwestern Fisheries com pany has purchased the Seldovia can nery and repair work will begin as soon as the weather moderates. Sev- eral additions are planned, which will make the plant larger aud more roomy.
 Last reports from Homer, Anchor Pt.. and Port Graham, show everyone well and they have spent most of the past month staying inside and looking out at the bad weather.
 It is worth going many miles to see 50 or 60 of the finest black and silver grey foxes in Alaska, playing in the snow, even if they are in large pens at the Anchor Pt. fur farm.
 It is reported that w. A. Kellar in- tends starting a swamill in this vi- cinity in the near future. We need the lumber.
 The gale that came down on Dec. Both at 2 a. m., was quite a surprise to everyone. The launches Earl, Buff falo of Cordova, and Buffalo of Sel- dovia, dragged their anchors and went ashore but got off without material damage.
 The temperature dropped about 30 degrees in about as many minutes The herring fishermen at Halibut Cove had about a thousand dollars worth of herring go overheard but as there was not more than fathoms of water, they dragged for them with seine and were short only five bar rels in the end.
 Two native boy hunters were up Kachemak bay in the launch Fox ready to come in with a moose when the gale struck and the launch Was pounded to pieces on the flats, one of the boys badly injured, but will re- cover, and they were nearly frozen before they got fire started.
 The launch Ola, 26 feet long, an chored near Sadie Cove with three men aboard, dragged ashore and had the bottom pounded out of her.
 Parties in Seattle have requested a shipment of 30 tons of ore from the chrome iron deposits at Port Chat ham. The shipment will be forwarded in the spring when the weather 's better.

 AGED 83 WEEPS, NO
 NEW PLACE TO GO

NEW YORK, Friday, Feb. 9.--Just as Alexander wept because there were no more worlds to conquer, so Mrs. Sofia Howarth, 83, is sorrowing be- cause there is no orner place in the world to go.
 When Mrs. Howarth reaches her home in Los Angeles, some time this month, she will have completed a journey around the earth-with few side trips, such as a sleigh ride on an Alaskan glacier and boat trip on a Chinese river-a total of more than S5,000 miles.
 Mrs. Howarth arrived here from Colon after a trip through the Pan anna canal. She is tall and erect, with piercing blue eyes, a firm chin, and an unusually sweet smile Mrs. Howarth does not wear glasses and has perfect teeth.
 Mrs. Howarth began travelling when she lacked year of so. Her near relatives are all dead and she is wealthy.

pated the Tolovana strike by few years.
 In the Koyukuk district numerous "pots of gold" have been uncovered. In fact, nearly every year an unusu- ally rich pocket is found by some one. Most old timers remember the fabled creek whose waters were said almost to run gold, it was reputed to be so rich. It was supposed to be at some place in the great Koyukuk divide. Many outfits were stranded on the financial breakers looking for it.
 Rich deposits caused the Slate creek stampede in early days, and later a few rich spots were found near there at the head of Valdez creek.-(Juneau Empire).

AN APPEAL.

The fundamental evil of our race
is the lack of sufficient appreciation
and interest of the responsibility and
duty we owe to each other. We have
allowed ourselves to 80 lapse into
state of inertia and lethargy that we
are Obvious of the wrongs and in
justices meted out to our people, and
not even attempt to raise our voice
in protest. Have we lost every sense
and quality of manhoods VIII we
stand erect before the world high OF
heart and purpose1 If we intend to
play our part as people and be pre-
pared to do our duty to others, let
US decide now what we want to. do
and make ready. to do it. It Is the
duty of every adult member OF the
race to align himself or herself with
this living existing organization and
become an integral part of it. / am
somewhat perplexed to think that
any right thinking Negro should be
without the pale of an association
that stands uncompromisingly for
freedom, equality and justice. Dear
readeri is it your duty to take out
membership? We owe each other
duty for it is the cement which binds
the whole moral edifice together
without which all powers and intel
lect. can have no permanence. The
membership fee is ONE DOLLAR
a year. Will you not lend your mo-
raj and financial support to this
great movement? We are far from
being immune to insults and pre-
judices here, and we can only do
effective work by uniting ourselves
and thus be prepared to legally fight
these evils. Come out to our meet
ings and know and learn for yourself
what is being done. The question
you should put to yourself Is not,
what would people say7 but, is it my
duty? Remember
Whate'er thy race or speech thou
art the same.
Before thy eyes duty, constant
flame
Shines always steadfast with un-
changing light
Through dark days and through
bright.

THE POOR DO NOT BEG.

The man on the street or the wom-
an at the door, who solicits aid on
ground of your sympathy for his con-
dition, may safely be assumed to be
making a better living by that pro-
cess than by accepting such care as
the state offers.
Minneapolis, just at the present mo-
ment, is suffering from an oversupply
of beggars. The trade is good one
although somewhat risky. The more
plausible the applicant appears, the
greater the returns.
But no genuinely poor person ever
begs. 1t Is difficult enough to find
them with the aid of neighbors,
schools, churches and relatives.
The beggar is one who has discov-
cred that a tale of suffering is an as
set; and that no honestly poor person
Acknowledges.
The continuance of begging is made
possible by the continuance OF
thoughtless, unrelated relief giving,
whether by individuals or societies.
1t will stop when we get together,
pooling not only our resources but
also our information.
The waste of money in giving to
the beggars does not compare in ser
iousness to the destroyed social sense
produced in the mendicant. 1t is high
ly contagious and a we'll nigh incur
able disease. We quarantine those
who are carriers of small pox, we
have not yet learned the method OF
preventing the spread of the begging
spirit. - The Bulletin - Associated
Charities of Minneapolis.

A lie is always the cause of trouble

composers and authors. At the invita-
ton of Ye Friends of Shakespeare Mrs
French and her company Of clevel
young ladies appeared before that or

building, New York city, recently and
presented the sketch to the infinite dc
light of large and appreciative gather

The novelty Of the program rendered
the high character Of the number given
by each participant and the excellence
Of its rendition evoked the highest
commentator from the audience, and
the society critic, Egbert Figaro, prais

manner.
Mrs. French IL a popular New York
vocalist and possesses voice Of I'm

is the sketch given under her able d.
rection. Doubtless Negro literary SO
cieties, churches and Sabbath schools
win see in this program a suggestion
worth considering In future. Instead OF
using poems, prose and musical selec-
lions Of white authors, they will select
the best productions from the pens OF
Negro authors and thus inspire the
younger generation to aspire and at the
same time be teaching the masses what
the race has accomplished along these

Barre, famed for its granite, is not
the state S only Largest center in the

superintendent of one of the largest pro-

proof of the fact. Moretown, a rival of
Rochester, East Granville, Cambridge,

Good Vermont Crops.
(Rutland News.)

The condition of Vermont crops is one
that cannot fail to give satisfaction to
all persons who regard the production
and conservation of food in these times
as of paramount Importance. In only
one state of the union do crops show a
higher percentage in July: Taking 100
as the average of the country, Vermont s
average is over 13 per cent III excess.
Considering this excellent condition and
coupling it with the largely increased
acreage under cultivation, it is perfectly
clear that Vermont will do its full share
this year in food production.
