THE KILLING OF CLARENCE
 THOMPSON.

The attention of Dr. William T Hornaday and the gentlemen ot Congress is most respectfully called to the killing of Clarence Thompson near Chichagof by brown bear. Clarence Thompson, explains the Alaska (Juneau} Daily Empire, was young man in the fui vigor of life. He was a capable young man "a worker in the logging camps lures about mines. He had been in Alaska several years, and perma- nent citizen of the Territory-jusc such a robust. virile man as this pioneer Territory needs to help in its constructive development.
 And he was a patriotic citizen of the United States. When the news flashed across the continent that the Congress had declared state of war to exist between the United States and Germany ke was among the first to try to get into an Alaska regiment if one was to be formed. He waited just long enough to dis cover that there would be TO state or territorial regiments and that the selective draft law would not quite reach his years. Then he enlisted as private in an engineering regi- ment He was among the first to reach France and among the last to leave. He gave two years of his time. and hazarded his life. in his country's service on foreign soil And his time was valuable too, for. as said, he was capable young man and strong and industrious.
 The war over and his discharge secured, he came back to Alaska as straight as an arrow from the archer's bow, and to work He did not spend time lettering in the cities of the East. He knew waere there was mans work to do, and he came to 1t just as he had gone to war.
 A few days ago a sprained wris. told him that he must rest his arm for a day or two that he might be fitted to work in his accustomed manner. But he could not lie en- tirely idle, so he took his rife and went up a nearby creek While in the woods he ran into a brown bear that was devouring the carcass of deer-one of the choicest of Alaska's game animals. Before he could defend himself, the bear was upon him, and in the twinkiing of an eye this young, vigorous Alaskan worker and former soldier of his country had received his death wound.
 This is not new story. It is the account of one of many similar tragedies that have occurred in Alas ka. They have been 90 frequent that the reputation of the brown 9 bear as the most ferocious and dan gerous of all American animals has been established.
 Yet Dr. Hornaday and Eastern sentimentalists who have come un- der the influence of his egetistical mouthings and elf-professed superi- ority in all things are much per- turbed in fear that Congress may remove the protection of the law from these man-killers. They want that Congress should continue to protect these animals that feed on our flesh and blood, that they may provide occasional thrills to interest

SAN FRANCISCO. - From two rooms in a small frame building to 25,o00 square feet of floor space in a three-story brick structure in- dicates the expansion of the indus trial work of the San Francisco Association for the Blind from No vember 1, 1918, to November 1. 1919.
 The association provides adult blind with gainful occupations, car ries them in motor trucks to and from the building, and also does educational work.
 Under the direction of experts, the blind workers make reed and rattan furniture from designs im- ported from abroad. They produce also rugs, brooms and baskets. all in quantities which have made the enterprise, according to William Mitchell Bunker, chairman of the advisory board, "a unique economic welfare success" The products are shipped to all parts of the country. , MT. Bunker says the blind, work, ing by touch, do their work more thoroughly than the sight worker.
 The association does not house the blind, but it gives them the means of making themselves inde pendent. One hundred persons are supported by the earnings of the blind workers of the association. The association has many mem bers in San Francisco. Their an ,nual dues keep the enterprise going They make no profit. as the asso citation is legally a benefit organ

DRUG HABIT HAS
 COST CANN|BALS
 POWER IN SOUTH

PAPEETE, Tahiti.-The Marque- sas, fercest cannibals among the Polynesians in the South Pacific, are disappearing. A few years ago they numbered more than 50,000. The last census showed only 5000 survivors.
 ] Opium, introduced by white men into the Marquests islands, the most northerly French settlement in Oceania, is held responsible by many for the approaching extinction of this race. This drug is no longer sold in the islands, but it is said its effect is shown in a death rate of 25 percent a year.
 Physically the Marquesas were magnificent. Before tattooing was 1 forbidden, the bodies of the natives were adorned by the most intricate and beautiful designs, and some of these may yet be seen Although they had a number of admirable qualities, the Marquesas in the old en days constantly engaged in tribal wars with the consequent feasts of human flesh.
 So much has been heard in song and story of the "Cannibal Islands of the South Sea-" that many per sons believe these comprise the myriad islands dotting the Pacific south of the equator. In some of the islands, scientific research work CTS found, man-eating was practiced but in many, notably in Tahiti and other islands of the Society group icannibalism was unknown.
