THE CASE OF o. HENRY

 Though Dr. Smith was approved by the family of Porter as his biographer. it was a matter of family controversy whether or not the skeleton In the closet should be exhibited to the world. Against the advice of Porter's mother-in law. to whom his letters had been addressed. the letters writ ten from the penitentiary during the

 In the circumstances there seems no reason why the unfortunate opi- se6e should have been exploited in his biography. The publishers and authors publicity instinct seems to heve prevailed over the dictates of good taste and the obligations of m old friendship, according to the Sate- ment of thedaughter.

Az the nations supply of beef. pork ard mutton grows smaller in prop or- tion to population and as the prices mount higher, as they must. the re- sources of Alaska are bound to be more thoroughly developed. The coasts of Alaskan islands. the bays of Alaska. and the banks in the Pacific and Boring sea most easily reachsa from Alaskan towns are alive with Ash of many kinds. Halibut. cod, her. ring, ooligan and many other edible fish exist In our waters in sufficient quantities to make 1t possible for The territory to be the chief source of supply of these fish for the whole world in the not distant future.
 And not only does Alaska seem destined to help supply the world with this food staple but 1t Is also probable that the reindeer industry will become an important contributor
 
 great areas where moss grows for these animals Is now desert waste and there Is room for tens of thousands of herds. Not only that but the rein deer business already has been start ed. 1t Is on It's way, and the increase derends only on the vision of men who are willing to walt a few years for their profits.
 Alaska Is stil la mineral country ard always will be. But very great ly increased production of gold and barer metals will be necessary to hold our reputation as mining country which otherwise might be merged h the fame of the territory as a pro- ducer of food and meat.
 Just as California once was hailed as the state of gold and Is now known mostly as the land of sunshine, fru'ts and flowers. 80 Alaska now famed for the metals in her frozen ground may become best known for her Ash and reindeer. And these sources of wealth would mean a greater prns- perity for more people. a more per- manent and reliable payroll. than Is common from the spasmodic and sea- sonal mining activities.

The American Fisheries Society re-
 certly held session at New Orleans when great emphasis was placed on the value of tish az food. IL Is con-
 tended that fish is more valuable IS d food than eggs, beef, or poultry a1d s'rong showing is made in comppra. tive figures as to calories, prote ns, carbohydrates and other measures of food value. A fish diet to those iiv- tnB near the sea coats Is not only more nuurlshing, 1t Is said, than any other but from economic reasons It Is -s- pscially desirable. People remote from the coasts regard fish as luxury and would no doubt be more liberal consumers if the supply Were more economically handled. It IS SIP gested thut the parcels post and cx- press companies could be made econ anical and convenient mediums of supply for the consumer England d, l'vers fresh fish by parcel post It IS supplied to consumers. packed and refrigerated at from i've to ten ce its a pound according to variety ordered. Compared with present beef, poultry and eSg prices as quoted Ia Seattle markets, halibut and salmon are m ,rc economical foods for those who live near the ses board and would be less expensive for inland people If the present move for cheaper handling and distribution eau be nude effective.

SCHOOL NOTES

School closes this year on Friday,
May 18. The usual commencement
exercises will be held on that date.
The Baccaliareate sermon will be
given on Sunday morning, May 10,
at the High School auditorium. All
churches will be asked to give up
their services for that hour. The
speakers for each occasion will be an
,nounced little later.
The school gardening plan is pro-
crossing nicely. There are now en-
rolled some rs boys in the various
clubs and many more are taking up
the work independent of the clubs.
Any vacant lots in or around the
town should be reported to Mr.. Avery
so that they may be looked up and
assigned to the young people who
are to go into this work. ...
Nearly every resident on Shilling
avenue signed up an agreement to
keep the weeds cut in front and
around the premises which they oc-
cupy. The class in sociology has
taken this matter up and found a
hearty response. 1t is hoped that
other sections of the town will fall
in line and make like agreements.
The, final number of the high
school Lyceum course was given at
the High School auditorium Tuesday
night The number was concert
given by three experienced Russian
musicians.
We have organized company OF
boys for military drill which will
meet three times each week for the
present. We do not bring the boys
under any obligations for enlistment
either now or in the future by this
work. It is entirely voluntary. we
expect to give credit in school work
at the same rate as for any other
study in school. Some of the boys
have secured cheap suits which they
propose to wear during the drill as
we'll as during the rest of the school
year, this will not only cut down ex.
penses but will make the dress of the
boys alike and provide more demo
cratic spirit among the school boys.
We are trying to send all school
pupils home at o'clock that they
may be of help in gardening, spring
cleaning and other household duties

SUGGEST PRISONERS
FARM ASYLUM LAND

B. Harvey Alfred, director of the
state farm markets bureau, spent
Monday at the state sanitarium for
the feble-minded, going over the
farm operated at that institution
near Nampa. He is endeavoring to
determine how much seed and how
many men will be necessary to culti-
vate properly the land the state owns
there.
Today the head of the farm mar
kets bureau will visit the prison farm
in the Gem irrigation district, and
Thursday he will visit the farm at
the insane asylum at Blackfoot.
There is now talk among the state
officials of sending prisoners from
the penitentiary to Blackfoot to AID
in putting in a grain crop ON the
1000 acres of land owned by the
state at the insane asylum. On ALI
reds return the state prison board
will determine just what action Will
be taken.
There are $50 acres in the Gem
district prison farm cleared and
ready for cultivation. There are 8O
acres of farm land at the Nampa in
stitution and the 1 1000 acres of land
at Blackfoot. T farm properly all
of it's land the state may purchase
tractor, and after getting the crops
in, sell it to the state highway COM
mission for use in road building.
If prisoners are sent to Blackfoot
and more than last year sent to the
prison farm, road work will be de-
layed so days.
