 To Stand By Wreck
 Capt. O'Brien, according to re ports, has received orders from the Seattle office of the Alaska Steam ship Company to stand by the wreck and keep headquarters advised of all developments. It is understood that wreckers will be rushed to the scene and every effort made to save the famous old ship.
 The Mariposa struck on Straits Island Sunday morning early, after having left Shakan, where she had been loading salmon. At once wire less calls for help were sent out and the Curacao, Ravalli, Santa, Ana, and the lighthouse tenders Cedar and Fern responded The Mariposa went under at 936 Sunday night after the tide had allowed her stern to settle to a point where the bulk heads carried away. allowing the water and cargo in the forward part of the ship to rush aft.

months. It is thought that on ac- prevails there at this season of the year salvage operations will be i'm possible until next summer and by that time the vessel will be so badly battered and broken by the heavy seas that it will be impossible to do anything with her.
 First Steamer There
 The steamer Curacao. the first steamer to reach the scene of the wreck, arrived in Juneau this morn ing at 1 o'clock The Curacao at the time she received the s. o. s. from the Mariposa was at Ship Island, Clarence Straits, about 90 miles from 5he wreck. Captain Jensen ordered full speed and arrived there at 1:30 Sunday afternoon.
 At once the work of transferring the passengers and hand baggage and mail from the wrecked steamer was started, and 23S of the passen gers were taken on board the Cur acao and landed at Wrangell The remainder of the passengers and crew were taken to Wrangell on the Ravalli, the Santa Ana, both of which arrived on the scene within l few minutes of the Curacao's ar rival.
 Officers of the Curacao state that 1t the time of the wreck, the Mari 1osa was running through calm sea, but it was rainy and foggy The blinker light on the Island was not visible, but just before the steam er struck the fog lifted and the light appeared dead ahead of the boat and close to it. Before a sig nal could be sent to the engine room 10 reverse the engines the steamer struck, almost at the exact spot where the light was located. Passengers Aroused At once the passengers were rOus- ed from their berths and the work of transferring them to the Island was started Fires were built and they were provided with blankets 1 to keep them warm. Later it was ascertained that the Mariposa was in no immediate danger of sinking 1 and they were again taken aboard the ship Shortly afterwards, as the tide fell and the Mariposa started to sink by the stern and list, they were again taken on the Island, from which they were taken aboard | the Curacao
 On the way to Wrangell, although 1 the Curacao carried but two cooks ! and three walters, the passengers were served with a full meal. On arriving at Wrangell over 100 of the passengers were cared for on the Jefferson, while the rest secured quarters about the city until the oth- CT steamers left for the south.
 The lighthouse tenders Cedar and Fern picked up all of the lifeboats of the Mariposa and delivered them | to Wrangell All of the crew have

PLEASE STOP IDLE CALLS
 ON TELEPHONE Telephone Company Asks for Cooperation of People for PubIiC'S
 Sake. FEWER CALLS DESIRED Use Numbers Not Names; Less Questions Con-
 cernIng Fires and
FEWER CALLS DESIRED

The Juneau Douglas Telephone Company requests that people get the number of the person desired from the directory before asking for a telephone connection instead of giving the name of the person with whom it is desired to talk; that they refrain from asking for any infordmation concerning a fire for five minutes after the alarm and that they do not ask for the time of day unless absolutely neces- sary.
 "Theso requests are made in the interests of good service,' said Ed Webster manager of the telephone system, in discussing the matter
 We frequently have new girls on the exchange said MT. Web ster "and they do not remember the numbers of those called for, and have to look at the directory to find the number before making the connection when person rather than number is asked for. That means delay in serving other pat rons who are waiting for their num- bers, and these people have a right to ask for and demand quick ser vice.
 "The request that people wait for five minutes before asking concern ing a fire is because the telephone exchange, when fire alarm is sent in, first notifies certain of the fire men and then the property owners in the vicinity of the fire. It is more important that this be done quickly than it is that curiosity be satisfied and calls within five min utes after fire hamper this pub lie service.
 of people have a watch or a clock convenient they should not take the time of the telephone oper- ator to ask the time of day. Within a half hour before school time the calls for the time of day begin com ing in. Frequently the same person will call up two or three times, when the purpose of the child mak- ing the call is simply to ascertain just how long he may remain at home or at play. We always keep the correct time of day, and we are always glad to give it to anyone who wants to set his watch or clock or to any one else wEo really has occasion to know the time and no other means is available, but many

times these people ask the time over the phone because they do not want to go to another room to look at the clock.
 These unnecessary calls always mean that people who are asking for connections on business matters are compelled to wait.
 People must learn that telephone systems are for the public and not wholly for the convenience of in dividual persons"
 One Exchange Quits Service
 The telephone company at Loncoln, Nebraska, recently put into force a rule that no questions regarding fires would be answered and dis continued the custom of answering requests for the time of day. It was estimated that answering these ques- tions cost the telephone company about $500 month, and that it ser iously impaired the telephone ser vice for the public.
 The requirement in large cities that one making a request for a connec- ton with some person has first to ask for "information" operator, from her get the number of the person desired and then call again, asking for the number desired, makes it so that people desiring telephone service will consult the directory, and not ask for the person with whom a connection is desired.
 $500 Calls Daily
 The local exchange answers on an average of $500 calls daily. Most of these are crowded into the busy hours of the day. That means an average of six or seven minute fol hours at time, and at other times they come much more rapidly, ire quently a dozen or more at once That means that two girls are kept busy, and the public has a right to all of their time.

Tire Price Of Milk.
Editor MissOulian:

Editor MissOulian:
Missoula housewives were given fla
other surprise when it was announced
by leading milk distributors that hot
tied milk would advance IS per cen.
at retail. And you will not. please
that the majority of people were VIII
ing to take the advance In price rs /;
mere matter Of fact. since they have
become so accustomed to hear the
plea: Sorry, madam. but we must
ask more today for this commodity.
as the cost of production has SO near
come to cuualling the selling price
that in order to make a PROFIT, the
manufacturer has put the price up on
U.s. Now there has been but little said
when the shoes advanced to sky high
prices; there has been no kick when
sugar took it's phenomenal jumps; and
So with every other commodity that
goes towards the sustenancc of human
life. Why should man make the
Missoula Creamery the object of
undertaking and lampooning, more
especially a man who should above all
others avoid anything that tends to
injurc local industries? Why should
your home industries be made the sub
JSSI loI iIolt IpISG stories. WnCn IN
fact they arc no more guilty of a
combination and Il monopoly than any
other kind of business. and when we
know that there is not an article on
the markets today that has not ma
terially advanced?
Personally. ! have no connection
with the creamery. nor am | in SYM
patty with any advance in price. But
TO me it seems unreasonable that
bankers and other business men
should take the advance OF the price
of milk SO seriously when everyone
knows that just such business men as
them are the kind who think that a
liberal mess Of porridgc on Christmas
day should satisfy the stomachs of
the poor and hungry the balance of the
year, and when everyone knows that

that have been successfully tried out
elsewhere? Why can We not get nil the
merchants in western Montana to-
gether and fight along organized lines

1t may interest our readers to know
that that is the foundation stone of
the wonderful npbuilding Of German
commercial prosperity. The German
people have been taught to buy goods
Made in Germany" Money has been
kept within the German empire. Be-
fore and during the war this system
has been followed along carefully.
The Germans all over the world have
been brought into this campaign to
buy goods from Germany and the re-
suit is that at the beginning Of the
war the banks of Germany were fairly
bursting with money and at the end
it will be found that of all the nations
engaged in this frightful conflict. en-
cept the United States, Germany alone
will have a great financial equipment
to resume its fight for the worlds

Fern Source of Starch.

An English scientist has suggested
that the underground stems of the
common fern may be used economic
ally as a source of starch. These
stems are simply packed with starch,
according to this authority, and others
agree with him that the bracken fern,
or brake. which grows abundantly In
many climates. might be made to fur
nish starch for industrial use If the
roots or rhiZomes containing the
starchy element could be collected at
small cost. 1t is said that coarse
kind of bread has been made hereto
fore from the roots of the brake fern
In certain northern climates, says
Popular Mechanics. and that In the
East Indies and Polynesia the rhiz-
ONES of severa lfern species are eaten
as a starchy food. or have the starch
extracted from them. Experiments
will probabl,s be made in England to
determine the economic value Of the
fern in this respect.
