MRS. RIGGS FATHER
 WAS FAMOUS LAWYER

A short biography Of Gov. Riggs is going the rounds of the press in which it is said that Mrs. Riggs was Miss Rene Coudert, the daughter of Frederic R. Coudert, "a prominent banker of New York City.
 It is strange that such a mistake should be made. Frederic R. Coudert was a great lawyer, one of the foremost of the Nations his tory, not a prominent banker" A sketch of his career may be found in all most any American encyclo- pedia. A quarter of cen tury ago he was rated by many authorities as the head of the New York bar" He was an expert on international law, and rep resented the United States before the Paris tribunal which settled the Boring sea controversy.
 President Cleveland named him as a member of the ar bitration commission which decided the Venezuelan boundary controversy be- tween Venezuela and Great Britain. He was born in New York in 1892 and died there in 1903. He has a son, a brother of Mrs. Riggs, also Frederic R. Cou- dert, who is one of the lead ing lawyers of New York.

Martin Hansen Has Some thing to Boast Regard garding Early Flow
 CTS Also.
EXPECTS A GOOD YEAR
Believed That There Will Be An Extra Heavy Harvest of Wild
 Berries.

Martin Hansen, whose residence is in the Casey-Shattuck addition, wants it understood that c. w. Fries is not "the only pebble on the beach" when it comes to having flowers bloom under the snow.
 Daisies were found blooming in Mr. Fries yard when the snow dis appeared. but MT. Martin goes one better than that and can show pansies which bloomed under the snow. As everyone knows pansies are about as delicate a plant as will be found in any cline.
 MT. Fries has pansies sprouting, but Mr Hansen is able to produce panses blooming.
 MT. Martin believes this will be good year for vegetation. He says that every one should plant some vegetables in their yards. It is again pointed out that a few flowers and shrubbery planted here and there will greatly improve the ap- pearance of the city.
 The great charm for tourists who visit Alaska coast towns during the summer months is the bright, clean emerald green of the surrounding hills and grass plots. Rains are ire quent enough to wash and keep clean all vegetation, and seldom is ever speck of dust seen. The view is refreshing and cool after having traversed the dusty plains localities in the States.
 Owing to the "Hooverized" move ment many housewives are planning to put up wild berries this summer, in case they can secure enough su- gar for putting them up.

 FORMER MAYOR w. A.

Gilmore, of Nome who ran for Delegate on the RepuD lican ticket in 1918 are sending word along the line to write in the name of the former Mayor of Nome Tor Delegate to Congress on the RepuD lican ballots at the primary. Gil more's friends have figured 1t out that all the Wickershamites will vote in the Democratic primary in order to defeat Delegate Sulzer's nomiHa tion with Gov.

DETROIT. - Henry Ford says:
 American mechanismisms, designed by American engineers, constructed by American workers and operated by American fighters, are going to win the war on the land, in the wa ter and in the air. Work, Americans Willingness and capacity to work, is what will bring up victory. Idlers caused the war, idlers of so-called royalty, who by command made oth- CTS obey them, and capitalistic id lers, who made fortunes and sought greater fortunes by forcing others to do their bidding."

FIND SUGAR SUBSTITUTES FOR
BOTTLER&

Methods Of reducing the consump-
tion Of sugar in soft drinks have
been worked out by the Bureau Of
Chemistry, United States Department
of Agriculture, which is now cooper
ating with producers throughout the
United States. The Bureau has pre-
pared directions for making soft
drinks which include formulas that
utilize substitute sweet materials such
as corn syrup, Ordinary glucose),
corn sugar, maltose syrup, honey and
high grade refiner's syrup. BY fol
lowing these directions, which are be-
ing distributed among bottlers the ac-
tual sugar content in soft drinks can
be cut to so per cent or less. A saw
ing of approximately $4,000 tons OF
sugar annually, is thus possible, it is
estimated, and at the same time the
customary taste and quality of the
beverage can be preserved. 1t is es-
timated that there are 100000 pro-
ducers of soft drinks In the United
States, employing 100000 workers
and having total capitalization OF
$3.50 100000.

SHIRLEY BRAYTON WRITES FROM

brother, John Brayton, Of Ryan:
Somewhere in France June %.
Dear Brother:
Received your letter enclosing
the money some time ago, but believe
me, / have not had time to acknowl-
edge it as yet. It came in handy as
pay day has been late this month. As
matter Of fact we are still looking
for it. Maybe we will get two at
once. It will soon be Fourth of July
and wonder if Ryan is going to cele-
brate. How IS the silo business pros
pering? If you continue like the first
few months you will have some busi-
ness this year, You have good thing
to sell and now is the time farmers
will need them if they ever have,
Farming is very primitive around
here and all is on very small scale.
1t is haying time now. They have
few or 5 foot Champion mowers.
Some Of the smaller patches are still
cut with scythes. 1t is all raked by
hand and they pitch 1t around two or
three times with their dinky two-
tined forks. They hitch their horses
one ahead of the other. They never
put two abreast. have seen five
horse teams strung out one ahead OF
the other Often you see COW or OK
mixed in with the horses.
"They surely have some of the MIC
est. roses 1 have ever seen. Nearly
every village has fine garden which
is very well cared for. Some of the
rose gardens in the village are surely
beautiful.
at has been quite cool here the past
week, but it has been pretty hot at
times. I am hoping it will be cool
the next two weeks as l am on night
shift, and can sleep better days when
it is cool
1--WE are very comfortable here now.
In fact we have things 100 per cent
better than we did in the States. We
have good bunch of men, good
quarters, and good grub, and we are
surely putting out the work.
"Well, write when you have time
as news from home is always well
come Give my regards to those |
know about Ryan.
