bWHERE THE 11-YEAR LOCUST
KEEPS HIMSELF WHEN HE Is
NOT VISITING OUR WORLD

Washington, ID. C.--Where mas the
17.year locust" been keeping himself
these many years? This question is
answered in u bulletin from the Nation
yul Geographic Society telling of that
weirdest of all the insects which is
about to emerge from its Rip Van
Winkle secusion.
incidentally the quotation marks are
used about Locust" since the insect
known by that name is not a locust
at all, but comes from the Cicada fam
lily. The bulletin based on a communi
cation from DIR. David Fairchild, states:
From a tiny egg laid by its mother
in a twig of your backyard shrubbery
there issues creature which is as
unlike this monstc it can be, with
soft white body mJle-like front
legs. 1t hurriea 70 the ground and
disappears beneath its surface some
times to a depth of hundred times
its length-20 feet it is said. For II
years it digs its way around in the
absolute darkness of this underworld,
and then, as though by some pre-ar-
ranged agreement, it somes TO the
surface to join in a marriage reVelry
of Il few brief weeks in summer with its
kinsmen of the same generation VINO
disappeared as it did into the darkness
II years before. But somewhere, while
beneath the ground, the mole-like crea-
ture has become transformed from the
lowly arva to the strangest activity
walking pupa imaginable, and when
it comes from its grave. as it We're,
and climbs to some conspicuous branch
or tree trunk, it is full-fledged Great
ure of the air, though encased still in
grave-clothes of parchment; but it soon
splits these up the back. pulls itself
out dries its powerful wings, and flies
away with the whirr of an aerodrome.
Most insects live for a few months
only, and one. indeed. the male at least,
for only 15 or 20 minutes; but the IT.
year cicada, the oldest of the insect
world, lives as long as a cat or dog.
But what has a life? Seventeen years
of it in the dark and a few weeks
in the sunlight. And yet, compared to
the life of an angleworm, condemned
TO the darkness forever, what an inter
esting career!"

field and mills may be established at
Ketchikan and Juneau. The new
plants will try to equal the records
of the mills south of here across the
Canadian border.
Alaskans expect that several gov
eminent restrictions which at present
block the way of some mill plans

VIII Surrender
But On Conditions
Robert S. Hill, Negro, Wanted in
Phillips County Uprising, Makes
Governor Offer.

Little Rock, Dec. 3.-According
to a letter received Saturday at the
governors office, Robert L. Hill,
president of the Progressive Farm
ers' and Household Union and al
legged ringleader in the negro upris-
ing in Phillips county recently, is
anxious to surrender to Governor
Brough if the governor will guaran-
tee that he receives a fair trial and
if the reward offered for Hills arrest
is given for the support of Hills FAM
lily.
Secretary John L. Carter said yes
terday that the letter might be a
fake, although it contains references
to matters with which not many peo-
pie other than Hill are familiar. Mr..
Carter, however, will take no chances
and will lanswer the letter, although
it may prove to be what called "a
Bill Carlisle letter" He said that
he could very willingly guarantee a
fair trial for the fugitive.
Mr.. Carter said that it probably is
not advisable to make public at this
time the name of the postoffice where
the letter was mailed.
In the letter signed by Hill the
writer called attention to special
patriotic service he had performed
i'm Drew and Lincoln counties during
the war. He admitted that he was
connected with the organization IN
Phillips county, but declared he was
not a leader of the instruction and
was not there when the race war
broke out. He wrote that he at
tended only three meetings of the
organization, in fact, and attended
these only to collect money he al
legged was due him.
These statements, the letter set
forth, could be proved by him If he
is guaranteed a fair trial in court
of law. The leterof law. The letter
intimated that Hill was entirely
blameless in the whole affair.
The letter explained that Hill be-
came fugitive because he feared
mob vengeance if taken to Philips
county, and that he was not afraid
to go on trial if given fair chance
to prove his innocence.
Robert L. Hill, president of the
Progressive Farmers and Household
Union and alleged leader of the in
surrection. was accused by the ne
groes convicted at Helena of being
the master mind of the organization
and the man who planned the race
war. in which five white men were
killed and several negroes SLAIN. A
reward was offered for Hills. arrest
but no trace of him has ever been
discovered.
Twelve of the negroes convicted at
Helena were sentenced to death ana
are now awaiting electrocution at the

others were given sentences ranging
from one to Fl years, and are now
