He always got every nickel that
was coming to him i'll a trade, but
he was liberal to the needy. Any
subscription list to help the starving
Chinese would find his name right at
the top.
He was fond of fast horses and
kept quite stable Of them. Also good
dogs, of which he kept quite kennel.
In his later years he unfortunately
fell into the habit of intemperance,
which was common among 70 per
cent of Indian traders.
He moved from Bellevue to Platts-
mouth in 1862 and there suffered a
great deal Of sickness until he died
in Plattsmouth January 4, 1865. 1t
Is only Just to state that he had been
sick before he came to Plattsmouth.
Living in that city had nothing to do
with his getting sick.
Though he had never carried life
insurance, he did not forget his In
dian wife, Ni-co-mi, but left her an
annuity of $500, which was paid her
until she died.
A fine monument marks his grave
in Calvary cemetery in st. Louis.

distinctly Indian in their origin, are

est of these bags: They go partcu-

Since everyone is knitting, every
one is interested in an all-important

bags are also being used for shop
ping. Some are made with 10 TO -
inch sticks across the top with rib
bons attached through which the arm
is passed. Others are made with oval
embroidery hoops for handles, and
all are made Of the gayest of Gre

To Point Discrimination

A delegation consisting OF Senators
PoindeXter Borah. McNary and Rep
resentative Sinnott of Oregon, will
consult with Mr. Hoover and the
price'fixing board They will urge:
That the government, by ship
construction and ship commander
ing, is getting in a position to pro
vide the required transportation.
That because of this it will be
able to regulate the freight rate.
That while the government on
one hand is urging heavy planting, it
is by requiring Pacific Northwestern
growers to sell at price lower than
anywhere else in the country, dis
tinctly discouraging increased plant
ing.
That a large part of the Pacific
Northwestern crop is miled either in
the interior or at coast terminals.
thus requiring the grower in that
section to sell to the miller at a low
en- price than the growers of any
other section are required to sell"

weavinug cloths tor military uni
forms, the same type of cloth in a
looser weave is being made for the
civilian population Naturally, the
colors differ; and brown, navy blue,
and mixtures seem to predominant.
No doubt these will Influence the
kind sof fabrics used here, since we
have long looked to England for ma
| tcrials suitable for tailored suits.
The gaiety of plaids and checks,
which have endcarcd themselves to
us in the ginghams so popular this
summer, is to be seen among silks
and in a modified degree among wool
materials for early fall dresses and
separate skirts. Plaid skirts plcatcd
are very fashionable for sports and
general utility wear.
The combining of materials is fash
ionable as we'll as worry practical. |
recently saw a very pretty and styl-
ish frock, suitable for the late sum
mcr or early fall, Of sand-colored tus-
sab silk and polka-dotted blue fou-
lard. The waist of this dress was
made extremely plain and semi-fit-
ted with a straight tunic, opened up
each side to the waistline, over a
skirt of polka-dotted foulard. The
waist had collar Of the dotted silk,
aud tussah silk buttons with a mar
row blue rim were used down the
front and down one side of each slit
in the tunic, while on the other side
were buttonholes bound with blue
silk.
The Illustration shows dress de-
signed for small women, in more fall
like materials, which is developed in
a similar way. The materials used
are blue serge and blue satin. The
front and back panels together with
the smartly draped pockets are of
serge. and the rest of the dress is
of satin
Other combinations suitable for
street and afternoon frocks are
broadcloth and satin, and jersey cloth
and taffeta or rajah A fashionable
color combination, imported from
Paris, is gray and black.
The second illustration shows an
evening dross of brocaded taffeta
combined with Goorgette crepe. The
entire dress is in this instance made
OF the talfeta except for a straight
piece of Georsette attached to an up
per tunic of taffota which reaches
across the front and sides only. The
Georgette softly wells the taffeta be-
meath.
Gay plaids and Figured silks are
often yelled with Georgette crepe in
an aIluring and fascinating manner.
Sometimes the undcrdress Is of plain
material deliberately beaded or en-
broidered and then Swallowed by the
overdress of sheer Georgette.

CLAIM DISSEMINATION
Continued from first page)

That there is little chance for the
Pacific Coast securing recognition at
the hands of the price-tixing commits
sion is indicated by Associated Press
reports of the situation at Washing
ton from which we quote:
mo encouragement at all is given
by the food administration to The
wheat growers of the Pacific North
west in the effort of those growers
to have specific base markets for
wheat established at the Seattle and
Portland terminals. Immediately on
receipt. of protests from the state on
the bases established, Senator Jones
wrote to Food Administrator Hoover
urging that conditions in the Pacific
Northwest be remedied Today he
received a reply, written from the
headquarters of the food admiuistra-
tions grain corporation at ~ Broad
way. New York city signed by julius
H. Barnes, as follows
Fear Congestion ON Coast
Referring to your letter of Sep
TENDER | to Mr. Hoover and forward
ed to me here In the first announce
ment we did not name a specific base
for Pacific Coast wheat. One reason
for this was that very point covered
in the letter of your correspondent
from Spokane, that we lacked ship
ping facilities at the Pacific Coast for
proper handling. but we are trying
to work this out. Last year and prob
ably this year the current OF Pacific
Coast wheat will move largely by rail
across the country 10 the east and
gulf. Under these circumstances,
naturally, the basis for the west
would be Chicago or the gulf basis,
less the rate to reach them.
Il quite cmprehenod that if ship
ping were free on the Coast and with
rates which would compete with the
transatlantic rates, that the Pacific
coast could have an established rate
of its own, but there is no reason at
present for attracting a stock Of
wheat at the Coast which could not
be moved because of lack of facili-
ties. Keeping this in view We have
tried to leave the field of private en-
terprise in the Pacific Northwest as
wide as possible

Strategists of America Have a Plan for the Controlling of
 Submarines
CORRAL THE U-BOATS
Barred Zone Would Be Established and It Would Be Hard for
 Subs To Escape.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-A plan for bottling the German submarines in the North Sea is being urged by na- val strategists here, and has been presented to the naval experts of the British commission.
 The American scheme is to do at the north end of the North Sea pre- cisely what has been done in the south end The English channel is so. guarded with nets, mines and armed patrol boats. with hydroplanes and "blimps" that German submar- ines practically never make their way from Germany to the Atlantic ocean by the southern route.
 The closing of the northward exit from the North Sea is much great CT task than closing the Channel to U-boats. but ill the opinion of naval authorities here is is entirely feasi- ble. If the money and material spent on chasing U-boats could be concentrated on closing the north end of the North Sea, they say, that submarine route could be effectively guarded in six months. All that is needed is agreement upon this pol icy, and strong. able executive to carry it out. The material required is such that can be quickly manu- factured. Nets and mines do not take long to produce. An agreement on this policy would release for this single purpose a great many boats which would otherwise have to be scattered about upon the surface of the waters. For example, the Unit ed States will have to patrol it's own coast line if submarines are out as at present.

It is stated further, however, that this will make no diff ference with his Alaska work for the present year. He will leave Washington within a few days for Alaska to take up his work on the roads and trails of that Territory.
 The ratification of the army ap- propriation bill, as agreed upon by the conference committee of the two houses of Congress over that meas ure, carries the Senate amendment appropriating $500,000 for roads and trails in Alaska.

 "Belgium and France must have all that has been taken from them. restored.
