Eskimo Given Welcome
 By King of Denmark

LONDON, Dec. 30.-An amusing story of the King of Denmark's re- cent visit to Greenland was recently told by NJ. Aagaard. of the Danish legation, to members of the Danish Club in London.
 As the royal yacht was approach ing Greenland dark speck became visible on the open sea. It proved to be solitary Eskimo in his little Cayak (native canoe). The Eskimo came on board and his loyalty in having braved the perils of the sea in such a frail craft assured him, needless to say, the warmest of wei comes. The King presented him with cigar and, what the Eskimos most highly prize. rifle.
 On landing the King described the incident to the Danish Commissioner in Greenland and asked him who the man was.
 The Commissioner. in accents of horror, replied: "The mans an es- caped convict. He broke prison yes terday. stole a canoe and put to sea. We thought he had been drowned"

In fact, buyers generally seem to be pretty we'll satisfied with the present prices, and to have great deal more confidence in their stability than they had a few months ago Most stocks of Chums of acceptable quality that were held at soc have been sold out, and while Pinks are still offered freel vat s1. the larger stocks are held for an advance. It Is the pre- vailing opinion that a material ad- vance in both grades will take place within the next month or two.
 Medium Red' tails receive little in tersst. and ought to be a profitable item for the trade, as they are avail able from first hands at SIPS, only slightly higher than Pinks. while Reds. which used to sell but little above Medium Rods. are now full dollar dozen higher. Puget Sound CohoGs are pretty generally held at s1 50. on the ground of quality. Other sizes of this grade appear pretty well cleaned up, but a few halves of Al aska pack are offered at $1.O5.
 Alaska Reds are steady. with only limited demand in this market. and enough stock is still offered at $2.2i to prevent any advance. Sockeyes continue fairly firm at $2.50 fol

STEELE NAMED
TO Be SHERIFF
Successor to J. Nj. Summerlin
of Okaloosa County is Ap-
pointed by Hardee.

p. J. Steele, of Laurel Hill, OkaIoosa
county, was appointed sheriff of that
county to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of j. NJ. Summerlin, who
was killed near Crestview last week.
The appointment was announced
from the office of Governor Hardee
yesterday morning
Sheriff Summerlin was killed when
an automobile IN which he and four
other men were riding, was struck by
the early morning fast mail train last
week. The party had started out to
take a man adjudged insane to the
asylum at Chattahoochee, and as they
crossed the tracks about a mile east
of Crestview the train struck the car,
grinding Sheriff Summerlin to pieces
and causing the death later of three
others of the party
The only man to escape death in
the automobile was NJ E. Savage, a
naval stores operator, who had accom-
panied the party to the home of Fern
Bishop for the prisoner. When he
saw that the car would be demolished
by the train he leaped and sustained
only minor bruises.
other men in. the party were Fern
Bishop, who died near Laurel Hill
while on the way to the sanitarium
at Florala; Frank Bishop, who died
shortly after arriving at the hospital,
and Will Bishop, who died later at the
hospital
Sheriff Steele is one of the most
popular men in Okaloosa county and
has been a resident in that section
for several years. He lived near the
home of former Sheriff SummerIin, at
Laurel Hill and the appointment has
the approval of nearly every resident
in the county.

SURVEY FOR FLORIDA CANAL IS
FAVORABLY REPORTED TO HOUSE
Measure Carries Appropriation

Survey Work.

Proposed Canal Would Link
Mississippi to Atlantic by
Inside Route.
lRy Assoclated Press.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-Survey I'M
der direction of the secretary of war for
a canal from Cumberland Sound on the
Atlantic seaboard to the mouth of the
Mississippi river would be authorized
under a bill introduced by Representa-
tive Clark. democrat, Florida, and re-
ported favorably today by the house
committee on railways and canals. An
appropriation of $4,000 would be made
for this purpose.
The project contenplates the build
ing OF a sea level canal from the At
lantic across Georgia and Florida to
st. Georges Sound on the Gulf of Mex
leo southwest of Tallahassee, Florida.
From st. Georges Sound, the existing
natural inland waterway would be
opened up along the northern edge of
bile bay and through Lakes Borgene and
Ponchartrain to the Mississippi river at
New Orleans.
The proposed canal would be about
265 miles in length, but by the use of
exiSting navigable waters, ii was esti-
mated that not more than $50 miles
would have to be excavated. Such a
waterway. it was estimated, would save
497 miles between New Orleans and
New York, and Alp miles from New Or
leans to Liverpool.
Under the provisions Of the bill. the
secretary OF war would be required to
report to congress on the cost OF con-
structing sea level ship canal of such
dimensions as TO accommodate the larg-
est sea going vessels. and also a lock
canal of the same size and barge canal
of such dimensions as to accommodate
barges being used for the carriage Of
freight on any waters of the United
States.
The many advantages of such ca
nal are easily apparent the committee
said in its report to the house. 'It would
be the connecting link in a system of
inland waterways extending from Bos-
ton Harbor to the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi river and extending the length
OF that great waterway and its numer-
Gus tributaries. 1t would enable the
farmers of the great producing states of
the middle west to get his produce down
at any point on the Atlantic and gulf
coasts, he might choose, and at an in
significant cost in comparison with pres
ent rail charges.

TOXIC, Jan. 2S-The Japanese an
swer to the note of the United States
government concerning the recent
killing of Lieutenant Warren II. Lang

ed to Washington.
According to information available
here the reply does not discuss the
question of Japanese occupation of
Siberia It reiterates the regret of
the government over the shooting of
Lieut.. Langdon, which has already
been voiced by it's official representa-
tives in Vladivostok and Washington
and calls attention to the measures
alreacy adopted to prevent the recur-
renee of such an unfortunate incident.
The communication emphasizes the
completeness and impartiality of the
investigation into the shooting now in
progress, which it says will be follow
ed by such reparation as the circum-
stances call for.
Although the shooting of Lieutenant
Langdon was an outgrowth of the
presence of Japanese troops in Vladi-

Appropriations Committee Pro-
pOsal to- Cut Fund to 150,-
900 Basis is Cause.
WILSON MAY VETO ACT
Chairman Kahn Says Harding
Was Not in Favor of Imme-
diate Reduction.
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Storm
warnings were up in the house today
over proposals of the appropriations
committee to pare the regular army
down to 100000 men. The appropria-
tion bill making provision for that
number during the next fiscal year.
was reported by Chairman Anthony
OF an appropriations sub committee:
but 1t was indicated that republican
members of the military committee
planned to fight it out on the floor.
Several members asserted their un-
willingness to accept further reduc-
tion below the Its, 900 figure by house
and senate recently in a resolution
which reached the white house today
for consideration of the president.
Under the resolution which directs
that recruiting be stopped until the
present enlisted strength of more than
100000 gets down to 175,000 the army
would not reach the lower strength
in the normal course before next Sep
tember. The proposed cut to 10000
however. would presumably leave the
war department without funds or
authority to maintain a force In ex-
cess of that number after June 80.
There was speculation among army
officials today as to what action Pres
ident Wilson would take on the IT'S 900
resolution. In some quarters it was
thought he might let it go back to
congress without his signature to be-
come a law at the expiration of ten
days, expressing dissent to the plan
in that way. It was admitted, how
ever, that no indication had been seen
as to the attitude Mr. Wilson would
take.
Chairman Kahn of the military
committee, said he believed it would
be a mistake to cut the army below
175,00o at this time. In reference to
Representative Anthony's statement
yesterday that President elect Hard
ing favors the 10000 figure, Repre-
sentative Kahn said that in his con-
ference at Marion. he got the impress
sion that Mr. Harding regarded that
step as advisable ultimately, "but not
at once"
