BULGARIAN DELEGATION
FINDS REDS WRONG SORT

VARNA, Bulgaria, May pa
large deputation CT Bulgarian Boil
sheyik;, which has just visited Odessa
was received with anything but
brothelly kindness by their Russian
brethren The Red Guards who, in
groups, occupy all the ssreets Of the
city, deprived the majority of the
visiting Bulgarans of their boots.
Soviet Representatives Jr Odessa
ignored them ard consequently they
were unable to obtain food. So liz
tie did the Odessa Eclshet,Ei stand
on ceremony tina: the agents of the
Extraordinary Commission shot down
a deserter on the derk of the ship
by which the Bulgar;ans had travel
ed, in view of the whole delegation.
The Bulgar,ans have now returned
to Varna much chastened. and very
doubtful as to the good results to
be expected from ne introduction

NEW RATES ANNOUNCED
FOR RIVER SHIPMENTS

The new rate sheet just received,
announcing freight charges on river
shipments via St. Michael, has some
changes from last season. The base
! rate is S66 per ton and on August
II the rate increases $40 per ton
on everything eggs, fresh fruit, to-
matoes, POTATOES and fresh vege-
tables, on which the increase will
be SIS per ton.
On carload lots, up to July 81,
the rate will be, on flour, 500; hay.
$50; feed, $62; milk and cream,
s62; sugar, SOS; dredging and min
ing machinery, $50; fuel oil, $50;
ore sacks, $22.
There are some changes in per-
centages of exceptions to base rate,
especially on all liquids in glass
or friction top cans, which are high
er than last year. This raise was
made on account of heavy losses in
breakage from poor packing in the
past.
Shipments must be made early
to get the benefit of lowest rates.
There is a wharfage and handling
charge of 50 per ton on all ship
ments.
J. H. Scott, local agent of the
White Pass company. was advised

Advices received in this city from
Tanana state that there are about
80 cases of flu at the army town.
Most of the sickness is confined to
the barracks and Indian village and
while a number are quite ill, it is
not believed that any are in a criti-
cal condition. Tanana escaped the
epidemic last year.

Reports received from Chlana to-
day state that an ice jam in the
Tanana river below that point has
caused the water to back up to
level sufficiently high to inundata
the larger part of the almost de-
serted town. Several buildings, it
is feared, will be carried off when
the jam breaks.

CHILDREN TO ELECT"
A NATIONAL TREE

The American Forestry As
CESSATION is doing unique
thing. 1t is trying to interest
the school children Of the
United States to "clect' a ma
tional tree.
The Youngsters Of Washing
ION are now holding such an
election. Out OF $4,000 votes
so far cast, more than 1000
are for the oak. But the friends
of other American trees have
not given up and are still cam
paigning actively for their par
ticular choices.
We suggest that the school
children of our own parish
hold a formal National Tree"
election in the pariOus schools,
The plan as suggested is that
the children Of each school-or
perhaps each class-constitute
themselves an independent vot
ing community or precinct.
First the school or class should
elect their election board, two
judges and two clerks. Then
provide a box for the ballots.
A fixed time for voting should
be named i'll advance, nobody
being allowed to vote before or
after the hours fixed. When
the polls are closed the judges
and clerks should count the
votes. When this is done, a
summary should be prepared
containing the total vote and
the vote of each Tree. The
Judges and clerks should sign
the summary in their official
capacity and it should be at
tested by the teacher.
The summary should then be
mailed to the American Fores-
try Association, National Tree
Voting Department, 1214 Six
teenth Street, \. W., Washing
ton, D. c. The facts of the
election and a copy of the sum-
mary should be sent to this
newspaper for publication.

'VERB0TEN' AND POLICE
IN UNITED STATES

The say-eyed pedestrian is
getting his and her gall and
NORWOOD these days.
The walker no longer has
many rights in the cities as
tiocks and flocks Of gasoline
locomotives dash here and
there and everywhere. For in
stance, III the city of Cleveland,
a community of some eight
hundred thousand barassed
'soui>, they are going to pass il
municipal law which will make
the walker Il cursed thing on
his own streets. One section
provides that het shall not step
directly to the sidewalk when
he alightS from a street car: he
must continue down the mid
Ole OF the street 10 croSswalk.
So that the engineers of the
gas locomotives won't have TO
check speed, he must not cross
q street except al Il crosswalk.
But worst of all. the walker
may not stop un the curb
that Is, the edge OF y sidewalk
-and converse with a friend.
Of course all these laws can
not be enforced. Perhaps not
half the people on that city
street will ever hear of them.
But such ordinances will sim.
ply make tie police a force of
tyrants. The police can't catch
all violators but they can make
life miserable for tens of thous
ands who happen to come I'M
der the displeasure in the
course of a year.

nance being unenforceable, il
