SERVES 7 YEARS FOR $500
New York Youth, Nineteen Years of
Age, Has Committed Twenty
Five Burglaries.

New York.-To get less than $500
in cash through law-breaking activ-
tiles has cost Stephen Leyster, nine
teen years old, seven years in protec-
tories and reformatories, but he is not
sure that he made a bad bargain.
Leyster admitted he had committed
25 burglaries and robberies.
"You seem to be proud" said Judge
Humphrey, "of the fact that you have
done something that the average per-
son does not do. How long have you
been in jail?"
counting the time that l wa in
the protectory and the reformatory, it
is seven years." answered the boy.
"How much do you think your
career in crime has netted you?"
"Well, between $500 and $500 in
cash."

If you write, please enclose uncle
Paddles address, as haven't received

ABOUT ALASKA
OCCURRENCES

Edward Fahey, who formerly ran a
hotel at Dawson, and is somewhere in
Alaska, is asked to communicate with
C. White Mortimer, attorney at law,
9O4 International Bank building, Los
Angeles, Cal.
II. J. Amend, an Alaska boy sta
toned at Fort Gibbon last summer and
at Fort Dodge during the winter,
writes that he does not think much
of the chances for getting ahead in
the States Mr.. Amend says that it
is no trouble to find a $25 to $50 a
week job, but that bare living is all
that can be had after bills are paid
Charles Isenberg left for the Kan
tishna district recently to search the
hills for gold. He expects to spend
the summer and perhaps next winter
in the district, and if unsuccessful in
his hunt for precious metals he will
return to Nenana at the end of that
time to accumulate another grubstake.
The Anchorage Chamber of Com
Commerce does things. When the
members of the Beaux-Arts Moving
Picture Company, who recently went
to Kodiak, arrived at Anchorage, they
were met by a committee and shown
over the town and invited to locate
their studio there. Such enterprise
is certain to bring results.
Martin A. Pinska, the pioneer mer-
chant of Dawson, has retired from
business, selling his store to Dave
Krause. Pinska began business in
Dawson in 1898, in partnership with
Laney Hubbard, and later became as
sociated with Charles Sargent. After
the establishment of a branch store
in Fairbanks Sargent retired from the
| firm. Pinska has a wide acquaintance
among the oId-timers.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, May 3H-Prospects of de-
layed planting as a result of too much
rain led to fresh advances today in
the corn market. Closing quotations
were strong. 2% C to 3%c net higher
with July $1.6S$ to $1.6Sh and Sep
TENDER $1.64h to $1.64&. Oats
gained q C to 1c and provisions sc to
Csc.
Buyers were in a majority through
out the day in the corn pit, and there
was a notable lack of offerings al
times, especially when the principal
shorts tried to cover. Widespread
wet weather and the forecasts that
field and atmospheric conditions
would continue adverse for at least
several days appeared to indicate that
Iateness of the planting season might
become an important factor in de-
termining the ultimate yield.
Oats responded to the advance OF
corn. Crop reports, too. regarding
oats, were against the bears.
The rise in provisions were ascribet
to strength of grain and hogs. Sales
to realize profits did not altogether
counterbalance the effect.
Closing prices:
Corn-July, s1.6S5s Sept, $1.64R
Oats-July, 72$c; Sept, 7o3sc.
Pork-May, $53.70; July. $3.50.
Lard--July, $32,O7; Sept, $31.70.
