PRISONERS LONG HIKE
 TO SERVE HIS SENTENCE

Emil Anderson of Nushagak, on Bristol bay, holds the long distance record Tn Alaska for an "unescorted hike from court to cell" says an Associated Press dispatch from Seward. Anderson was convicted at Valdez, home of the court in the Ihlrd division, and travelled 800 miles alone to Nushagak where he served a thirty day sentence. He carried his own commitment naners and had served his time, been re- leased and was at home two months before word reached the court that he had obeyed orders.
 Andersons offense was that of using a knife in an argument at the Nushagak can nerv. After his arrest he was transported across Boring sea, through Unimak pass and northeast again to Valdez for trial, 8 distance of nearly 1,500 miles by water. The testimony showed that beyond a doubt he had cut his opponent, but it also showed that the opponent was the az gressor Under these circumstances the Jury recommended extreme clemency. The court took cognizance of the situation and, real izing that the man had already been m custody over two months, ordered that he return home and deliver himself to the deputy United States marshal and serve a sentence of thirty days
 The last boat had sailed for Nushagak, and Anderson considered the possibility of getting job on the railroad at Seward and waiting until spring to go home and serve his sentence. but he had left many things undone at home, so he obtained a passage on boat which landed him at Illiamna, on the west side of Cook inlet. From Illiamna he started on the long over land journey across the upper end of the Alaska peninsula. It was late fall, and there were snow squalls and every possible inconvenience.
 For twenty days he waded ant> swan and mushed over the hills in Arctic weather eating sparingly of his fast decreasing pack which he replenlshed twice with dog sal mon from natives He finally reached Nush- agak on October ?, where he at once gave himself up, served his term and was re- leased November 9, according to the off, cisl return made to the clerk of the court, which arrived in the winter mail via Cold Bay.

MINING AND AGRICULTURE
 ENCOURAGED IN NEW RATES

John H. Scott, agent of the American, Yukon Navigation Company at Dikeman, says of the new freight rates put forth by the company for this season:
 '"The company seems to be trying to do more to encourage mining While it is cer- tainly a great deal more expensive now to run the boats than 1t was before the present high cost of everything, and the tonnage to this camp IS less, which makes it pro- portionately more expensive to handle the business, they have reduced the rates on practically all classes of mining machinery. dredges, hydraulic outfits, prospecting drills and much of the equi pment used S7.50 per ton, or 15 per cent. If some man with the old mule wants to gather up old rubber. rags, copper, etc, with the old-time war cry that goes with it there is rate from Dikeman to Sound points of $l5 per ton,
 "It seems they are trying to make Fair banks farming center. Note the rate of $40 per ton, in ton or more lots, on pota- toes and fresh vegetables, locally grown, from Fairbanks to Dlkeman.
 "The interstate commerce commission is duulI!g utW OIuelS all liit lllllt. Iiit lust one makes it so shipper of stock or any thing of that nature, which a through bill of lading cannot be issued for via Skagway. must be consigned to Skagway and re- shipped to or by someone in no way con nected with the company.
 "The customs regulations are also such that we cannot take shipment from here to the Outside unless 1t is accompanied by a regular customs invoice on regular form. If the value is over Sl00 the invoice must be certified to before notary public It makes it hard on some shippers, but we just cannot receive the goods without it, as they will not permit us to load the ship ment out of St. Michael, and Uncle Sam is the boss"
 Mir Scott says the ice in the river at Dikeman cracked and moved little on May 2, and when the main part moved, on the 10th, there were solid cakes the full width of the ice as it froze up, and from 500 to 900 feet long The ice pushed two of the company's barges up in the brush, and he is now praying for rain. Very few ducks or geese are seen this year, and they "are principally made of wings"

MADE MOONSHINE IN PRISON

Gerard Harris tells the following true story of the ways of Tennessee mountain eers, the people he described in his recent book, The Trail of the Pearl A num- Der of moonshiners had been arrested and confined in a city jail, their cells opening
 into central room One day the Jaller, hearing a terrific uproar in the bull pen, went to investigate, and found all of his prisoners, roaring. fighting drunk. The most careful scrutiny failed to disclose any way in which they could have secured Eouor. It WAS not until after several repe- titions of the spree that it was found that the whisky w2s made by the prisoners m the prison. They had asked to be allowed .o prepare their own coffee, and had de <,.eloped an astonishing fondnesS for corn bread (corn rone) This they had crum- bled into buckets and made mash, and bv means of bit of rubber pipe attached to the coffee pot had distilled their own "moonshine.' .'-Ex.

CALIFORNIANS EAT WHALE

Every time Captain John D. Loop of the good ship Camguin kills a whale, down goes the high cost of living, says 8 Los Angeles Cal, special
 Six tons of whale tenderloin, delcacy which has leaped into popularity in Los Angeles recently, was carved from the car cass of one giant leviathan and placed on the markets of Long Beach and Los An geles at a nominal price. So cheap and so popular has become whale steak that the high cost of meat has been dealt a severe blow by the advent of the sea COW as food, Although the public was somewhat back ward about eating whale at first, the local markets sell close to ton day of the meat at present, while the dealers are call ing for more with each killing. In addi- ton to the six tons of tenderloin, each whale yields about ten tons of blubber that will be reduced to lubricating oil of high grade
 Captain Loop sighted one big one early the other morning of Hart's point, and pursued the leviathan for nearly half day before he could maneuver to within striking distance. It was three hours after the first bomb exploded in the side of the whale before the monster gave up. The fight and chase took place in the channel fifteen miles southeast of Long Beach.
