Norwegian Sailors
 Desert in New York

Christiania, Dec 20.-The clause in the American seamen's act making it impossible in American ports to arrest sailors deserting their vessels has been taken advantage of by Nor wegian sailors. ShipownerS say the sailors desert from Norwegian vessels at American ports and sign on other Norwegian boats at American wages, thus netting them good profit at the present rate of exchange.
 This practise has caused shipown- CTS so much trouble that the Nor wegian Shipowners Association has warned officers and ShipownerS against hiring deserters in American ports.
 Several Norwegian shipowners re- quire the crews on vessels bound for America to sig nbonds as security against assertion
 If a sailor deserts his ship, cap tains are supposed to return the de- serter's papers to the shipowner, who will take out warrant in the Nor Wegian courts

Anaericar, Girl To Be P0tuer Behind Throne

New York, Dec. 20.-Amer;can heiresses, hundreds of them, have pursued the will-o'-the-wisp of for eign title, but to none of them has come the prize that just has been won by the lovely 'NTin Plate Kings" widow, the former Mrs. William B. Leeds, but now, officially, Princess Anastas.e of Greece, wife of Prince ChriSto opher.
 The rise of this beautiful Ameri- can girl, from comparatively obscur- ity in New York society to the dag zling brilliance of European royalty, has, nevertheless, been accomplished within few years, as time goes.
 It is related by Cleveland dowagers so the princess was -born-was a mere girl she was socially ambitious. The Stewart fortune was not colossal, nor

Hen Talks Back
 To Owner In Court
(By International News Service.

(By International News Service)
 Detroit, Mich, Dec. 20.-Angelina Pevulov, who lives near Frank Leon ards home. at All CIairpointe avenue, charged him with stealing one of her hens. Brought into court, MT. Leon ard told Judge Stein that the fowl was his; that he'd bring her into court and prove that she was his by talking to her.
 Shell talk back to me and that will prove it," he said.
 Judge Stein was open to conviction.
 MT. Leonard shortly appeared. He had the chicken in a basket with two others for company.
 Ffrst, I'll describe her. said MT. Leonard, "before I take her out. She is reddish and is shot with white un- der her wings"
 He then took the chicken out. Un- der the examination of the judge Mrs. Hen was inclined to be nervous, but the moment Leonard took her she squatted down in his hand, perfectly quiet, only looking about with a pert 1y cooked eye. She fitted Leonard's s description exactly.
 "Now I'll talk to her, said Leon ard.
 And to the amazement of several score of neck-craning spectators, the fowl began to sing a contended little chicken tune, in response to Leonard's S low words of endearment. As long as he talked the chicken kept cluck- ing back; when he stopped the bird did also.
 Judge Stein settled back convinced.
 Birds yours,'' he said. Case dis

Big Legal Battle
 For Many Millions

Lebanon, Pa., Dec. CA legal battle for the possession of several million dollars will be staged in the orphans court of Lebanon county January 14 when Judge Henry will hear the contest to break the will of the late Rosaline Parent Coleman, of Paris, France.
 The contestant is her son, Dr. Guido Henckle, of Freiburg, Germany, and efforts are being made to obtain pass ports for him to come here for the trial.
 Doctor Henckle, who was a surgeon in the German army during the world war, was a son of Mrs. Coleman by her marriage with the late Prince Donnersmark of Germany. In her will made in 1907 she made him her universal legatee, but disinherited him in a codicil in 1915 when Ger many declared war on France, de- claring him dead to her on account of the war

Finds $500 Pearl Wedged Between
 Toes of Pig

Rockford, H., Dec. 20 A pure white toe on the muddy foot of a hog attracted the attention of Morris Johnson, a farmer living near here. Upon closer examination he found that the white object was not a toe, but a perfect pearl and that it was lodged between two toes. He sold the pearl for $500.
 Johnson had been feeding his hogs with mussel meat secured from mus sel seekers, who were collecting the biva1ves in the Rock river to sell the shells to button manufacturers.
 Popularity of fresh water pearls has grown steadily in recent years. Wisconsin claims the honor of being the first state to develop a substantial market for these gems, many of which have a rich 1uster and are of delicate shades of pink and white. While or=- enta1 pearls are the finest, the Wiscor- sin and Illinois fresh water pearls are in big demand.
 Pearl fishing is the most lucrative of trades in the orient. In Wisconsin and Illinois it also has made many a pearl fisher rich, for not only are valuable pearls found frequently, but the shells find a ready market in the Mississippi river button factories.

Installing
 Wireless

No time is being lost iQ install ing the townsite company's wireless plant, which arrived Sunday morf- in9 on the Prince of Wales in charge of Emery H. I. Lee, radio engineer of Seattle, who selected the site and is in charge of the in- stallatinn, MT. Lee chose spot on the southern border Of the town. site, where there is a building suit able for an office and a cleaS sweep is obtained down the canal for the electric waves. Through studying the typographical map of the soun- try between Ketchikan and Hyder he is convinced that there will be no difficulties encountered in com municating between these towns.
 Masts at least 90 feet in height will be used. and are being put in under contract by w. L. Balch, Traversy Bros. and S. Svenson sup. plying them. The generator will be run by a gas motor which is now on the way. In case this does not arrive before MT. Lee is ready to test the wireless, he expects to con- nect up with the Alaskan Hotel electric plant and will give the ap- paratus thorough tBy-out before turning it over to the regular oper- ator.
 A walk will be built from the sta- ton up Canal street to Kansas, and along Kansas to International by the townsite company, There is a space 250 feet wide between the station and the First street side walk, and this will probably be brldged by residents of the piled area.

Fixing Up Roads After
 High Water

With a cessation of rain and the advent of another spell of fine wea- ther, the streams of the district sub sided as quickly as they overf1owed and the work of repairing the dam- age caused is proceeding rapidly. Sunday the first teams to go to the Premier for a number of days made it through to the mine. General Manager Pitt has five gangs work ing on road repairs and these, in conjunction with the government crews, will soon have the read in better condition than ever.
 Several small bridges were taken out and approaches to others dis appeared. These are being replac- ed by stronger structures. MT. Pitt is of the opinion that future dam age can be largely avoided by prop CT drainage and the employment of wing dams.
 George Bum, whe has been pros pecting on the Marmot, reports that the two cabins ofthe Patricia gFoup owned by H.C.Maeee and associates were washed away, as well as the recently completed bridge across the east fork; Mir.

Commissioner Reed this week heard arguments in the case of George J. Frizzell vs Kate Ryan, in which the defendent was accused of unlawfully holding property claimed by the plaintiff. The prop erty in question is a piled lot ad- joining the Salmon River Trading Company's premises, and was pur- chased last winter by MT. Frizzell. There is a fioat-house, set on piling, on the lot, and this was bought by Miss Ryan for a dwelling. The iat- ter claims that under the squatter sovereignty law she is entitled to possession of the property. The jury who sat on the ease decided differ ently however, and found her guilty as charged, so a judgment of resti- tuition will follow. C.H.SundmacheS appeared for the plaintiff and F. E.

Pioneers Will Build
 Fine Hall

Through the generosity of Dan and Andy Liudeborg, the Hyder Iaioo. Pioneers of Alaska, are in a way to have a fine home in a very short time. The Forest Service gave a lot on the forest reserve, but it is not centrally located, and the Igloo decided to secure one if pos- sible closer to the business center of town. Lindebore brothers were accordingly interviewed, and inn medi4tely deeded over a fine lot on Missouri avenue.
 Tuesday evening it was decided to proceed at once with the con- struction of a hall, and it is expect ed that this will be completed with in a month. The plans are drawn for a building 30x70 feet in size, with a stage 10 feet deep, and re- tiring rooms on each side of the en- trance door. The floor will be of maple.
 The lack of a public hall in Hyder has been sorely felt for the past year, but thEoueh the enterprise of the Pioneers the town will soon have a hall second to none of it's size in the northwest.

international Has Making
 Of Big Mine

Competent authorities who have examined the property state that the International has the earmarhs of becoming a big mine. Pat Daly, who returned from Outside several weeks ago. has been continuing de- velopment there, and his faith in the property is stronger than ever. The fact that Pats persistence in the belief that the Premier would makea mine'has proven we'll foun- ded makes him more than an aver age authority on Salmon river prop critics, and his statement that the International is a conner, is received with satis action in the camp.
 A creek crossing the property has aided preliminary development by cutting through the large ore body, and cuts have been run on each side of the stream, giving two 35-foot faces of good milling ore. This big lead has been traced for 600 feet on the surface, and in ad- dition, Pat found a lead of the high grade dry" ore on the property, upon which he will do considerable development,
