BOAT SAILS ON
 TWENTY-ElCHTH

SEATTLE, July 14.-(P)-On July 28 the freighter Latouche will leave this port for St Michael, Alaska. and is expected to carry large cargo, a great portion which will be destined to the interior. This sailing is the last opportunity the merchants of in- terior Alaska will have for shipping perishable freight by way of the low CT Yukon.
 The last vessel carrying any freight by way of St. Michael for this sea- son is the Victoria. scheduled to leave here August 10. This boat will not, however, accept any perishables for the interior of the territory. These sailing dates are slightly in advance of what they have been in previous years.

SEALS ARE PUT
 ON MEAT UNDER
 CUSTOM ORDERS

J. B. Howard, of Eagle, who ar. rived in town on the last trip of the steamer Yukon, in connection with the importation of cold storage meat from Canada into Alaska, told a representative of The Citizen yes terday that he had placed under seal all the compartments in the cold storage barge containing foreign in- spected meats. Tn fact, when he ar rived here he found that this meat was under seal and had been since July 5, or the date upon which in- structions were received to discon- tinue the sale of foreign inspected meat until further notice was given the federal officials.
 The meat referred to was shipped from Dawson by Waechter Bros, to supply the local market and prevent a shortage from occurring before fresh beef and other meat could be shipped from the States. It is Can adian meat and has been inspected and approved by the Canadian au- thorities. When it entered American territory at Eagle, customs seals were rut on the compartments and these were removed by the territorial health officer upon its arrival here. At the time this was done, it was considered the proper course. but in formation received later from the Eagle customs office shows that there was mixup in instructions, or a lack of them, and that no one but a representative of the bureau of ami mai industry is authorized to take such action. For this reason the seals have been replaced.
 It is not a question of whether or not the meat is sound. and MT. How ard is not here as meat inspector. AS it is foreign meat it must be ap- proved by American inspectors or the owners can secure the original cer- tificate of inspection from the Cana dian authorities and file it with the American authorities. When the lat ter has been done, the seals can be removed. The custom officials will hold the meat off the market until American regulations are complied with and this will be accomplished when the original certificate of Cana dian inspection is filed.
 Manager Struthers of the local plant of Waechter Bros & Co.,, stat ed yesterday that this inspection had been asked for and would be in the hands of the American authorities in short time. In the meantime Amer ican meats are being sold. While there is not a large amount of this meat on hand, there will probably be enough to last until more can be obtained.

GERMANY WOULD
 WIN BACK HER
 PRE-WAR TRADE

ROME, June 2.-(A. P. Correspond. e.)-Already German influence has been exercising itself in Italy in an endeavor to win back its pre-war trade, which annually amounted to nearly two hundred million dollars, exports and imports.
 Interviews have recently been pub lished in Italian papers which endeav. or to establish the idea in the Italian mind that had Germany been consult ed in the matter of Italian claims at the peace conference, Italy would have secured all that had been asked. This has been interpreted by many promi. nent Italians as purely subtle bid for Italian patronage, anticipating the sesuscitation of friendly commercial relations between Italy and Germany.
 Chief among the interviews appear ing in Italy were those of Prince von Buelow and Count Bernstorff. The former was married to an Italian and maintained in Italy one of the most celebrated villas. Italians contend that it was his object to solicit Italian favor when he said
 Plume is an Italian town and must go to Italy. All its inhabitants are Italian except a small minority. Ev- erything in Plume is Italian. In fact, most Hungarians living in Plume are more favorable to Italian than to Jugo- Slav rule"
 Count vOn Bernstorff seeks in his interview intended for the Italian peo- pie to forgive italy for allying herself with Germany's enemies He admits that had the ancient German des. potic rule won, Italy would have never be forgiven, but that the new Ger many is ready to forget the past and start over again.
 His interview given to the Giornale d Italia recently has been treated in the same light as that of Prince von BIelOw while Italians are saying of 1t, we prefer to trust in victory than al. ternatives."
 Count von Bernstorff failed to arouse any great enthusiasm among the Italians for the prOffered forgive. ness.
 But the Germans have not been asleep in Italy Already German goods are finding their way into the Italian markets. A Milan newspaper recently announced that large ship. ment of German jewelry had been received at the frontier destined for all parts of italy. German printing products, tourist guidebooks and sta. tionery have been on display in shop windows for weeks. Some of them were pre-war stock but by far the greater part is new.

SERIES MAY DRAW MANY
 LOCAL PEOPLE

The proposed trip by the local baseball team to Nenana for three game series with the team at the railroad town is creating consider able interest around town and many fans have expressed desire to ac. company the club if proper trans portation facilities are available at that time. The series will be played on July 26-27. or a week from next Saturday.
 Manager Beam says that it will hardly be possible to get one of the White Pass boats for the round trip as no extra crew is available for this purpose. It may be possible that one of the regular river steamers will pass Nenana enroute to Fairbanks about July 27. which would enable everyone to get passage upstream.

Yet MT. Lumpkin's friends-and who that has come in contact with him is not his friend?- find all of these characteristics in him. II" has entered, heart and soul, into the life of the community and has helped to solve many problems. His advice, his assistance, his per sonal aid, have ever been at the ser vice of the community as individuals and as body polite. Mrs. Lumpkin has been his able lieutenant and her sympathetic and delightful personal ity has won for her an equally warn place in the hearts of her acquain tances. With their three sturdy boys, the youngest of whom is genuine Alaskan, they will depart the latter part of the month. The public will be accorded the opportunity to bid MT. and Mrs. Lumpkin farewell and Godspeed at this reception.
 The Pioneers are especially invited to be present. Bishop Rowe has been in Alaska since 1893 and is a Pio- neer by right. MT. Lumpkin was ac- corded the signal honor of election into this Igloo as an honorary mem- Der, thus becoming a Pioneer by adoption, an honor of which he is very proud.

CONVICTED MAN ovERL ooKED
Stays Home for More Than a Year
After Sentence Before Being
Taken to "Pen."

Cleveland, Ohio.-Rosario Spinello
for more than a year has been sup
posed to be serving term in the pen
itentiary for manslaughter. And all
during that time he has been at his
home with his wife and seven children
either there or at his work in fac
tory here. The authorities merely
neglected to come and get him. He
did not attempt to evade the serving
of his sentence. But he was not going
to go to the police and insist on it. He
did not even dodge policemen who
knew he had been convicted, he says.
The crime was committed more
than two years age. For year the
ease was in the courts. Then theSap-
pellate court sustained the verdict
and ordered the sentence executed.
But papers ordering his arrest, giving
the police official information Of the
decision of the appellate court, were
stuck in a pigeonhole somewhere and
it was not until the middle of January
that they came to light and the police
went to Spinello's home and took him
away to Jail.

CROW IS ENEMY OF FARMER
Under Modern Conditions There Seems
Little Reason for the Birds Con-

The record of the crow is like It's
coat-about as black as black can be
q writer in Detroit Free Press says.
1t may be that in the great plan Of
nature, some time in the past, the
crow served a useful purpose-like-
wise the hawk and the buzzard. Take
the buzZard. for example. Once pro-
tected by human laws everywhere be-
cause useful for removing carrion.
the stencil of which offended the nos
trils of all animal life, it is now out
lawed, because man realizes that it is
better to burn or bury the dead-leav-
ing no excuse for the existence Of the
disease carrying buZzard. SO, in the
beginning. the mission of the crow. we
may conjecture, was to preserve some
equilibrium, some balance in the econ
omy of nature. 1t may be he was
placed here TO hold in check the weed
seed and grain eating birds. because
weeds were factor in the past in
covering the waste places of the earth
and making them fertile. However
that may have been, there seems to be
no excuse for his existence now since
man, the agriculturist, seeds the
waste places to useful grains and
grasses and needs the help of the In
Sectiverous birds.

NOTE INCREASE OF RABIES
Recrudescence of Dread Disease De-
clared to Be Direct Result
of tho War.

Among the plaques to follow the
great war, rabies must be reckoned
with. Already it has reappeared in
England. while from the very begin
ming an increase was apparent in
France. Before the struggle began
Belgium arrl the districts doomed to
be occupied in northern France
swarmed with dogs, and rabies was
sufficiently common. This abundance
was due in part to the extensive use OF
the dog as draught animal in those
localities. after the invasion these
animals moved westward in large num-
bers. They appeared to breed as usual
and were under little or no police su-
pervision. although conditions for sup
pressing the danger were most favor
able. Rabies showed an increase from
the North sea to Switzerland. and was
carried far into the interior of France.
Here police protection was as good as
absent. The type too is virulent. as
shown by the short incubation period.
Lenoir, who writes to the above effect
in health bulletin abstracteh in the
Journal de Medicine ct de Chirurgle
Pratique, was the officer in charge OF
an anti-rabies campaign. which sup
pressed the disease in South Africa
in 1902.
