TRUTH BEATS FICTION
 SOMETIMES

When the widow of Brigadier Gen eral Leonard Colby died recently in San Francisco and left a legacy of S100,000 to a full blooded Sioux girl it eliminated strange story begun way back in 1890.
 Twenty-six years ago on December 21, 1890, an Indian girl baby was picked up half dead on battlefield at Pine Ridge, s. D., after a Sioux up- rising. General Colby was detached to put down the uprising and it was after the battle the baby was found The general took the baby home and adopted and reared her.
 The Indian girls name is Zintkella Annui, which signifies Lost Bird" She is a full blooded Sioux of the Sit ting Bull band. Both her parents were killed during the uprising on the Wounded Knee reservation. The Sioux girl is now heiress to all the property of the late general and Mrs. Colby and is now on her way back to South Dakota where she will make a permanent home for herself.

The Seward Post of January 12 says:
 "Advices have been received from the San Juan Fish company officials at Seattle that H. o. Roberts, superin- tendent, is due here within the next two weeks to make arrangements for the construction of a cold storage plant for halibut and also for the con- struction of salmon cannery
 "Fishermen from the San Juan con- pany have prospected the banks off Seward and know the supply of halibut red snapper black bass and other fish available and that there are sufficient salmon in these waters during the season to warrant a cannery has been known for many years.
 "The site for the cannery and cold storage plant has been secured from the land and industrial department of the Alaskan Engineering Commission through the Seward Chamber of Con- merce and is located near Powder House point"

RUSH FOR CITIZENSHIP
 PAPERS IN FAIRBANKS

During the year 1916 there were more aliens naturalized and admitted to citizenship in Fairbanks than in a number of years. according to the records of the clerk of courts office No less than 61 passed the examinat- ion required and were sworn in by the clerk of court. Fifty-three made application for naturalization and 75 others declared their intention of be- coming citizens.
 A noteworthy fact about the appli- cations for naturalization during the past year is that there were more natives of the Balkan states among the applicants than during any pre- vious year, and an unusually large number of men coming from the same countries declared their intention of becoming Fairbanks News.

CRIME IN LONDON
 HAS DECREASED
 SINCE WAR BEGAN

War in spite of all the terrors brings some compensations to the London CTS who stay at home; and even If the compensations do not balance their anxieties and sorrows, they are wei come. says the New York Sun
 Among such indemnifications is a decrease in crime. That this de crease has been considerable in Great Britain is shown by the report for the year ended March 31 of the com missioners of palice and the directors of convict prisons. Prisoners receiv- ed under sentence were 64,160, as com pared with 114,2S3 in the previous year-a decrease of 50.123.
 The report says that three main causes seem to have contributed to this great decrease:
 l.. The enlistment of many habitual petty offenders.
 ?. The restrictive orders issued by the liquor control board and those made by the justices and by military authority; and
 8. The great demand for labor, rem dering employment easy and well paid and resulting in ability to pay fines.
 One of the notable effects of the war on the prison population, say the commissioners, has been that the ex- captions are now for the most part the physically and mentally weak. There is every reason to believe that the country's call for men appealed as strongly as the criminal as to other classes.
 A young burglar, one of a gang of five, told the chaplain of a London prison that his four pals had enlisted; two had been killed and two others wounded. He said he meant to go and do his bit" as soon as he got out of prison-a promise which he faith fully observed
 It is stated that one prisoner offer ed as an economy to forego the extra supper ration. On this & chaplain writes:
 Under the broad arrowed garments there beats many a heart still res ponsive to the loftiest sentiments of loyalty and patriotism.

KINGDOM OF ARABIA.

The kingdom of Arabia-there is romance and mytery in the very name of the new nation which is now ap- pealing for recognition to the United States and other countries.
 Born of revolt against the Turks, led by Fl Hussein bin Ali, the grand sheref of Mecca, aided by his three warlike sons, the new monarchy seems to have established it's way not only in Mecca, the holy city of the Moslem world, but in all the towns along the Req sea littoral.
 One of the results of this revolu- tion has been to remove any fear of holy war on the part of the Moham- medians in the British and French dependencies, as the grand sheref, by espousing the allied cause, has brought about a division in the Moslem ranks that renders any concerted revolt i'm possible. It is reported from Egypt that the first work of the grand sheref as monarch of the Arabian kingdom, was to give Mecca a thorough clean ing, not only of the dirt that had ac- cumulated through centuries of Tur- liish misrule, but also of the human riffraff who formerly preyed on pious pilgrims to the Mohammedan Holy l City.
 The state department at Washington has received several communications from the new government dated from Mecca and signed by Sheref Abdullah as secretary of foreign affairs. He is supposed to be the eldest son of the new king of Arabia. One of these com munications was protest Ito the civ ilized world" against the alleged cru city and brutality of the Turkish gov ernment in it's treatment of prisoners It is believed that the Arabian king. dom has the support of the British French, Italian and Russian govern. ments, and that they will demand its l perpetuation after the war.

The wild, or native blackberry vine.
Is not SO plentiful as 1t once was. There
are fewer old fields, fewer brown-up
fence rows, fewer picturesque rail
fences with corners to shelter them
from the plow. With the passing Of
the wild blackberry vine market for
the product of the bigger, sweeter and
altogether better. domestlcated black
berry Is opening.
Not many. even among the small
fruit growers, have paid great deal
Of attention to the growing and mar
keting Of the blackberry, writes w. G..
Blosser Of Indiana In Farm and Prog
ress. They are fairly hardy and bear
most seasons. but. like their wild cous-
ins, they are badly injured by late
frosts. 1t is estimated that an acre
Of blackberries will produce something
like 500 worth Of fruit In year.,
and there IL always q real sale for
them.
Good Market for Berries.
II is likely that there will be good
market for them for q long while in
the future. They ripen at a time in
the summer when fruit is comparative
ly scarce and therefore desirable.
There can be no question about their
popularity. Cafes, hotel dining rooms
and nrst-class restaurants everywhere
are glad to get blackberries Of good
quality. They are the raw materials
for Just the sort Of pies liked BY city
man and farmer alike. As to their
preserving. canning and cordial max
ing qualities, those are too well known
to need comment.
In the last few years q large num-
Der Of good varieties have been de-
veloped. Ono Of the few diseases that
cause any trouble in q blackberry

overcome. but can be got rid Of BY

to try them. Most any soil will do for
them, but like the wild varieties that
always manage to get into patch Of

varieties will do much better II they

Put out the blackberry cuttings In

takes up an amazing amount Of room.
Put the canes not closer than three
feet apart in the row. In q little while
after the vines get good start they
will mat together In such q way that
you can't get through them unless they
have been given plenty Of room from
the start.

to water them a little from time to
time. The first two or three years after
they are put out some sort Of q garden

rows, as this will loosen the soil and
help the blackberry canes.
It Is a good plan to continue the cul-
tivation indefinitely. a. the vines will
choke each other out BY growing be-
tween the rows II they are left undis-
turbed. Little canes will start up all
summer long unless they are kept
down by cultivation. II left to them

canes.

ticed. Do this pruning In the win
