 We left here Thursday noon with the Murre. Capt. George Maud and a crew consisting of Charles Emeric and Tom Mccarthy. We searched the Chatham Straits shore very care fully and arrived al Hoonah Friday night. At Hoonah we were told that the Dauntless had left at noon that day to investigate a rumor brought in by native that there was boat in distress at Lemeseur Island. We left Hoonah Saturday morning and went to Willoughby Cove to inter view the fox ranchers there.
 We talked to II. C. Ross, one of the owners. and he told us what one of his partners. T. H. Scott. had seen of the vessel, so we were prac- Iically sure that it had been the Di- ma lying off shore. We went to Oundas Bay, thinking that the )auntless had taken the vessel there. ut did not find the boat, so we eturned to the fox ranch and inter- si

MASONS GATHER TO PAY TRIBUTE
 TO NEW DEPUTY
Speakers Eulogiize H. I. Tripp In Get-together Meeting
 Saturday Evening.

In n--honor ,oe the appointment ol Herman T. Tripp as Deputy or the Supreme Council of the Ancient ana Accepted Scottish Rite of Freema- sonry. the Masons of Gastineau Channel held an informal get-to- gether in Odd Fellows hall on Sal urday night The lodge room was well filled and at eight o'clock was ;nforoally called to order by Com mander-in-chief Maurice $. Whit tier. 32o K. C. C. H., who read .ableeram which he had received from George Alexander Parks, 32 tt Washington wherein he stated tlat Grand Commander George Fleming Moore, 33' had handed lhim MT, Tripp's commission.
 ! In q few well chosen words MT ! Whittier then reviewed the business career of Mr. Tripp since his com ! ing to Alaska and the high esteem in which he is held among ms Dusl- ness associates. His Masonic career was also reviewed by MT. Whittier wherein he pointed out that among all Masons i'll Alaska the honor could Irot have been more justly bestowed. Always alert in the exemplication of the true Masonic principals MT Tripp has endeared himself to the Masons of the Territory. Mir Whit- ltier concluded his rem2rks by ex- tending to Mr Tripp the hearty congratulations of the Masons oi Alaska over the honor conferred by he Supreme Council, and pledged the hearty support o1 the entire Masonic fraternity.
 Mir. Tripp in his modest and un- assuming manner sincerely thanked the Masons for the compliment palu him by the impromptu gathering. He stated that while his appoint n.ent as Deputy of the Supreme Council came to him as an absolute surprise. yet he realized in no small degree the responsibil ilities it car n,teu. With the great growth ol the Territory now iminent, and the consequent advancement of Masonry throughout the Territory, he ex- pressed a belief there was much tC be done along the. lines of adVanc- ing the right kind of citizenship an dtrue Americanism, and accept ed the honor and responsibility placed upon him in the hope that in some small manner at least he might take an active part in the great work.
 Remarks of reorganization and appreciation of the work of MT Tripp was then made by MT. George T. Jackson, J. w. McDaniel. John Richards, Rev. H. E. GreeninS. Louis L. Harding, Lester D. Hen derson, George H. Whitney and others. These remarks were inter- spersed with the following musical numbers: Piano solo, Mrs. Louis L. Harding; violin solo, Mrs. Clarence lJ. Woofter; piano solo, Mrs. Ned Carlson; vocal solo, George Oswell These talented musicians were com- pelled to duplicate their numbers by the hearty applause given them Following the informal program an elaborate repast was served in : the banquet room of the lodge. Fol this part of the evenings enter tainment much credit is said to be due to the Masons of Thane under the direction of R. c. Tenny and w. T. Tolch.
 Upon the receipt of his commits sion MT. Tripp will establish his headquarters in Juneau, but will be compelled to cover the entire Ter ritory in carrying out the duties oi lis office.

efficiency movement, has written book
Ie, on the subject. This booklet Is espec-
tally interesting to the prospective mining
engineer.
By selecting two or three hrst-class
shovelers, and gradually varying the
shovel load and having all the condi-
tions Of the accompanying work carefully
observed for several weeks by men who
we're used to experimenting. ii was found
tha, 6rst-class man would do his big
gest days work with a shovel load Of
twenty-one pounds. 1t is evident. Of
course, that no shoveler can always take
a load of exactly tweniy-one pounds on
his shovel, but although his load may
vary three or four pounds from twenty
one, he will do his biggest days work
when his average is about tweniy-one
pounds.
There are several other elements which
enter into building up shoveling as a
science. Thousands Of stop-watch OBJ
servations were made to study just how
quickly laborer, provided with proper
kind Of shovel, can push his shovel into
a pile Of material and then draw it out
loaded. Again, similar study was made
of the time required TO swing the shovel
backward and to throw the load for a
given horizontal distance, accompanied
by a given height.
With data Of this sort before him. coup
led, with laws Of endurance, it is evi-
dent that men who direct the shoyelers
can first teach them the exact methods
which should be employed to use their
strength to the best advantage. and can
then assign them daily tasks that are so
just that the workman can each day be
sure of earning the large bonus which is
paid whenever he successfully performs

fertilizers. To carry out this idea, the
gathering of samples is left to fsrce
Of inspectors who collect them from
warehouses, freight cars, dealers farm
ers' wagons, in the field or wherever
found. The collected samples are sent
st once TO the chemical laboratory Of the
Experiment Station, where they are an
alyzed to determine whether or not the
guarantee Of the manufacturer is truth
full. At the present time eleven chem
lists are employed 10 do this work.
The final results are printed and then
distributed to dealers, farmers and coun-
y agents. Publicity is given in these
publications to the failure Of manufac-
turers or dealers to comply with the law.
The law requires that manufacturers
register the brands Of fertilizers offered
for sale in Missouri. He must then pint
on every package the name Of the brand
and the guaranteed chemical composition
Of its contents. A registration tag is
then attached to the package.
The success Of the Experiment station
in the protection Of farmers is best shown
by the increased number Of manufacture
ers who consult with the Experiment Sta
ton authorities before placing their
brands Of fertilizers upon the market.

SCIENTISTS TO
VISIT AMAZON
viii Make Search for Plants
and Drugs of Possible
Medical Value.

| BY United Press.
PHILApElPHrA, Dec. 28.-A party Of
chemists and scientists, headed by DIR. H.
H. Rusby. dean Of the school Of phar-
macy at Columbia University, will sail
shortly for a scientific exploration Of the
Amazon Valley, in a quest for new
plants and drugs Of medical value. A
government expert in entomology, an au-
thority on technology from the University
Of Indiana, and experts from other insii-
tutions will accompany the expedition,
which is expected to last year. New
species Of reptiles, fishes and insects will
be sought by the party which is being
financed by the H. X. Mulford Co., manu-
featuring and biological chemists here.
The general route will be the country
along the base Of the Andes from Villa
visensio, southeast Of Bogota, to Calabar,
several hundred miles south. Here land
travel will be abandoned for the descent
Of the Unanes river. On reaching the
Rio Negro, the party viii descend to its
mouth at the Amazon, and ascend the
Madeira, the largest southern tributary
Of the Amazon river. Frequent stops will
be made and collections Of plants and
drugs taken in the mountains.
While the primary object Of the ex-
pedition will be the search for new drugs
and plants and their study, special at,
tention will be paid to the habits of
natives expected 10 be encountered there,
snake poisons, and particularly the manu-
facture Of blow-gun and arrow poisons.
A superior quality of rubber said to
flourish there will be closely examined
and specimens taken by specialists on
that subject.
Elaborate preparations have been made
for an exhaustive study Of the plants and
drugs. According to present plans, Dr..
Rusby will classify botanically all col
lections. Microscopical study will be
made by Professor Ballard Of Columbia,
Schneider Of Nebraska, and Newcomb
Of Montana. Professors Army of Colum-
bia, Jordan Of Purdue. and Sayre and
Haverhill Of Kansas will ascertain chem
ical values. Physiological and medicinal
properties will occupy the attention Of
medical men from Yale, Harvard and
other large colleges.
