ALASKANS ARE MAKING GOOD
They Show Marked inclination TOWARD
Good Citizenship and
Patriotism.

What the Alaska natives are doing
and are willing to do ms proof posi-
tive of their fitness to live under the
Stars and Stripes is impressed on all
who come In contact with the natives
and their numerous activities along
lines of advanced citizenship and pa
triotism.
BY way of minor illustration that
shows which way the wind blows with
them: The natives in Juneau, through
the press, advocated the killing OF
dogs, that there might be more food
for human consumption. They ad-
Vised their native friends to protect
the deer from their dogs that might
kill ueer during their helpless con
dition following this last winters
deep SHOWS, when many starved and
all were weakened for lack of food.
Down at Kake the natives have only
about one-third to one-quarter the
number of dogs that they had last
wear. One who went through the
village last fall and again this spring
remarked on the fact that there were
almost no dogs in town.
"Yes," said representative citi-
zen, "the natives became convinced
that from a sanitary standpoint and
an economical standpoint they were
keeping too many pets. As a result
of this conviction they began reducing
on dogs and improving on health and
food supply"
Another point that impresses even
a casual observer is that the natives
all take local newspapers and read
carefully-often very slowly-the
events that are taking place locally
and throughout the world. If native
is not a regular subscriber TO news
paper, you may be sure It Is because
he cannot read one word of English
or any other printed language.

YOUTH HAS MUSICAL GENIUS
Willy Ferrero, 13 Years Old, and
American Born, Is Capable
Leader Of Orchestra.

Willy Ferrero, 10, who leads 100
ner, Beethoven, Rossini, Grieg and
others, is an American and was born
In Portland, Me. The child has at
tracted the attention of Europe since
he was 4 years old, but it was only
recently that his American birth was
revealed by his parents, who are
Italians,
The lad was taken to Italy whittier
his parents were returning to take up
their residence in their old home in
his musical career, leading an orches-
ira in the Folies Bergere in Paris. A
year later he appeared in the CostanZa
theater, Rome, where for the first time
he led an orchestra of 100 pieces.
The child took his orchestra before
Emperor Nicholas in 1913 and con
Quoted two concerts for the monarch.
In the same year his orchestra was
filling an engagement in London, and
he was commanded to appear before
queen AleAdhurd NJ Mallpoioush
house. He appeared before Pope Ben
edict XIV in 1916. In April, 1915, just
before Italy's declaration of war, Willy
was presented with the gold medal by

head appears on the horizon. Kindly

fingers"
Eleanor laughed. Dicky had posed
ridiculously nj her feet with the GRIM
son wool stretched between his hands
Obediently she began to unwind, as
he watched her. The intentness OF MS
Kaze brought flush TO Eleanor
cheek; it was an amusing game the
elder sister desperately restraining

upon them.

The young girls eyes widened.
"You mean." she asked, that you
don't want to go with me?'
Not exactly that" Richard replied
apologetically. He was evidently EN-
barrassed; Nell asked me first you

sBobby will be glad to take me.
She was humming tune as she left
them, but the glance she threw at her
sister was induirng. Eleanor seemed
happily obliviouS.
Throughout days which followed,
the elder sister often found that IN
curing glance bent upon her. Richard
persistently played his part He
formed a habit of reading aloud to
Eleanor afternoons in a nook on the
shore, plainly discernible from the
bathing spot which Fan and her al
mirers frequented.
The game grew in interest and eX'
citement. When the younger sister
was absent they discussed in secret
endowment her fancied symptoms OF
jealousy. Then one day Eleanor came
TO meet Richard vaguely troubled.
"Fan is with that Bobby person all
the time" she said. II thought at iirst
that she was trying merely to pay you

TO her, Dlcky, before it is too late
So Richard went to take up his old
allegiance. Fan proved strangely dis
appointing. He had never before real
lied her lack of appreciation for III
erature. He and Nell had so enjoyed
those old books together, and Fan was
frankly disinterested in his work. Nell
had grasped with wonderful intuition
the details of his business. Swimming
and motoring were all right In their
way, but one couldn't be dragged about
IN that sort of foolishness forever, he
reelected; so for comfort Richard went
back to the elder sister.

Nell began sympathetically, Fan is

For smartness the following will be

a cable from his soldier son in Meso-

"Two John twelve" After much 7puz-

FRUIT SHIPPERS
TROUBLES APPEAR
NEVER ENDING
FIRST THE CAR SHORTAGE,
THEN THE MARKET SLUMP
ED. AND NOW THE APPLE
FREEZE is ADDED.

The troubles and worries of Chelan
county fruit shippers continue to null
tiply daily. The car shortage forced
them to pile their warehouses full Of
apples and to rent all the available
storage space in order to protect their
holdings This increased the expense
of handling the fruit as it compelled
the shippers to move apples several
times.
The slump in the apple market is
what really caused worry to the local
operators. This has been more es-
pecially felt in the C grades and in
the earlier varieties. Winter Banan-
as and Delicious have proven to be a
great disappointment to local ship
pers.
Market Shot TO Pieces
Delicious sold at one time in Phia-
delphia as high as $5.75. That was
about six weeks ago. Last Wednes-
day sales of extra fancy Delicious
were reported in Philadelphia at an
average of 1899. In other words the
buyers paid all their expenses of do
ing business, plus the freight and
handling charges to deliver the apples
to Philadelphia and received less for
the fruit than they paid to the grow
ers.
Frozen apples are another sources
of grief to the shippers. Every day
reports are received of apples being
received at some eastern destination
in more or less damaged condition
So far over 200 box cars have been
reported to local shippers as partial
ly or wholly frozen.
Frozen Apples Cause Worry
Most of these apples can be sold for
enough to pay the freight or perhaps
little more, but they represent a
great loss to the buyer The railroad
administration have ruled that they
will not accept claims for apples dam
aged in transit if shipped in box cars.
1t is probable that the courts may be
asked to decide this ruling
With about $500 cars of apples yet
to be moved out and very low temper
atures prevailing in Dakota, the local
shippers anticipate losses of apples
shipped in refrigerator cars. With
the great rush of traffic it is feared
that heaters will not be installed and
kept going in all cases.
Of course apples shipped by refrig-
orator cars are forwarded at the rail
roads risk, so that the shippers do
not have to worry about this particu-
lar misfortune.
Cars Are Now Plentiful
Many of the shippers have cleaned
up the surplus accumulations in their
warehouses and are emptying their
reserve storage holdings into the cars.
The flood of empty REFERS that have
been coming into Wenatchee during
the past few days have surprised and
amazed the shippers. More cars have
been received during the past week
than rolled in during the previous
month. Where they all came from is
seven-days wonder along Red Apple
Row.
Every warehouse has as many cars
as they can handle, by working over
time. Yardmaster Cody and Car Dis
tributor Byram at Wenatchee no long
err hear the plaintive wall of the ship
per waited over the telephone wires
begging for one lone REFER.
