TRIBE is HIT HARD
Almost Wiped Out by Dance and
Feast.
Famine Follows Fete Among Alaskan
ndians-Forty-TWoA Are
Dead

CordOva, Alaska.-A play, dance
and a feast, winding up a season Of
plenty was responsible for the near
extinction of the Quigillingok tribe of
natives last winter and spring, &C
cOrding to John H. Kilbuck, superin-
tendent of schools for the KuskOkwim
river district.
The famine following the feast, Mr..
Kilbuck said in his annual report to
the bureau of education caused the
deaths of at least AZ of the natives,
and would have wiped out the entire
clan had not missionaries come to the
rescue with supply of food.
The tribe, Mr.. Kilbuck said, stored
up great quantities of fish during the
summer and fall seasons.
In celebration of their good for
tune they invited other tribes to at
tend "kuvgagyagagg," featured by a
play, a white mans dance" and the
giving away of food. When it was
all over the guests were millionaires
in the currency of the section, while
the hosts were paupers.
1t will be years, Mr.. Kilbuck de-
clared, before the Quigillingoks recover
from the effects of their generosity.

BINDER TWINE NEEDS
Uncertainty of Supply Causes
Anxiety in Washington.
DiIigent Efforts Being Made to Find
New Sources for the
Material

Washington.-The United States has
long depended for much of it's sup
ply of binder twine on henequen from
Yucatan. The uncertainty of the sup
ply during the past several years has
caused serious anxiety lest there
should not be enough binder Irvine to
harvest the increasing crops of grain
in this country, and the United States
department Of agriculture has been
making diligent efforts to find new
sources Of supply or new regions where
binder twine fibers may be produced.
The chief of the bureau of plant in
dustry reports encouraging results.
The conditions in limited areas, ex-
IRENE southern Florida and on the
larger keys, are regarded as suitable
for the production of sisal and hene-
quen fibers, provided the cost Of land
and labor is not too high to permit sue
cessful competition. Henequen has
been cultivated successfully for several
years in Cuba and the plantations are
being increased but thus far they pro-
the cordage mills on the island. Con
ditiOns are regarded as favorable for
the production of binder Irvine fibers
in limited areas in Haiti and over a
much larger area in southern SantO
Domingo. Experimental paintings in
Porto Rico have resulted in the estab-
lishment of commercial plantation
near Yauco and trial paintings near
Quebrandallas and on Mona island
have given promise of growth. In
the Virgin islands excellent conditions
for the cultivation of sisal have been
found on St. CroiX. In the Philippines
the Introduction of modern fiber-clean-
ing machines has resulted in increased
paintings of sisal and private capital
has bought and installed machines to
develop the industry on a larger
scale.

But worst of all, even when the in

the report continues, "still unable to

At Northwestern the full professor,

SWISS SMUGGLE, GET RICH
One Family Is Asked by the Austrian
Government to Explain
AffIuence

Berne.-Smuggling across the from
tier between Switzerland and Vorarl-
berg has been a highly remunerative
vocation recently and many persons
are alleged to have amassed consider
able fortunes in cOntraband trade
One family engaged in working a
small farm near Lustenau Vorarlberg,
has been asked by the Austrian gov
eminent to explain it's present appar-
ent affluent circumstances. One son is
living at Bregenz and reputed to be
worth 10000 crowns, another recently
lost 125,00O crowns at roulette in
Vienna, while another lost still more
heavily at Monte Carlo.
A fourth is said to be living at an
expensive hotel in Berlin. 1t is charged

crops are hemp, sugar cane, cocoanuts,
coffee, tapioca and pineapples Lum-
Der is also an important industry.
There are hundreds Of thousands OF
acres Of land lying idle in the Philip
pines, which have a greater area OF
fertile land than Japan-this in spite
Of the fact that the population Of the
Philippines is 100000 while that Of
Japan is around 100000. There is
every reason to believe that some day
the Philippines will have a population
as large as that of Japan today. The
Eilipinos are the only Christian people
in the orient, and their young men are
working night and day to prepare
themselves for the responsibility OF
citizenship in the Philippine Republic,
which they believe to be near at hand.

"My life is a sad one" said the
stewed prune"
"How is that?" asked the orange
near by.
ooh, dear no one loves me-"
"And why not?" asked the orange.
you're good to eat, aren't you?"
swell, that's just the trouble"
"But I've seen folks eat you," said
the orange.
"Oh, yes, but they usually eat me
when they can't get anything else"
"But | saw them eat you and by you,
Of course, mean members of your il
lustrious prune family, when mem
Der of my family was around"
"Once in a while that happens" said
the prune, 'but it is very, very sell

"Some of my family were at a
boarding house last summer. My fam
lily goes to boarding houses and schools
and muny other places. And l heard
that there was one person who used to
actually choose prunes for breakfast
when she might have had something
else. You have heard that, you say?'
"Yes," said the orange.

morning the one who was waiting on
the table said to the person sitting at
the table:
"1'm sorry, but we only have prunes

"Wasn't that sad? Enough to break
the poor heart Of prune."
"You haven't a heart, prune, dear ;
you only have stone as your heart
heart of stone-that means hard-heart-

"Ah, but that's wrong" said the
prune. Il felt dreadfully to think that
such a thing should be said Of u.s."
"'Sorry, but we only have prunes.
You'd have thought she had said ::
Sorry but we only have bricks for
breakfast from the tone in which she
said it.
"And then what was our joy and a
thing the family has never forgotten
nor ever will forget when many years
have passed, when in reply the per-
son at the table said she actually and
really liked prunes.
"Of course she almost apolOgized for
liking them, but no matter, she did
like them, and that means a great deal

"That event will be put down as
the greatest event that has happened

''Now, we try to be good. We want
to be liked and we're very happy when
folks like us. We think that with
cream or milk poured over us we taste

people have been told they should eat
prunes when they were young or be-

they got tired of them, for surely

Health is the corner stone Of

own in the advancement of her

decade. it Will be because a siren
uous campaign is waged at once
against the further spread of that
dreaded scourge Tuberculosis, for
this disease is now well under way
and is gnawing away at her very
vitals.
Conservative medical atuhori-
ties estimate that the number CT
people in South Dakota who now
have this disease in dangerous
form nj 35C0. The state has a san
itarium near Custer for it's treat
ment, But the state has only pro-
vldcd for the care of about 20 at
time, or two percent, leaving the
other 3lO0 to be provided for by
private subscriptions.
1t will have to bc a matter Of
mutual concern. Each man must
