Corn Down by Own Weight

Reinbeck, Iowa-SeveraI corn
fields near here are reported to be
down in peculiar manner, not due
to wind or any other cause seen
before. The corn lies in all direc-
tons, and some is said to be as fiat
as If rolled. The explanation given
is that the ground was dry and loose
and the corn high and top heavy,
without sufficient brace roots. Then
last week slow rain lasting all
day soaked the ground round the
roots and they no longer were sufi-

Hog Proyes Boo Slenth

Davenport, Iowa-A fat sleek sow,
belonging to Glen Healy, a Moscow
farmer, and on display at the annual
exhibition of the Mississippi Valley
fair grounds here, proved a better
booze trailer than most detectives.
In her pen the animal was noticed
to be snorting and shifting vocifer-
ously as she rooted the ground.
Finally she reached the object of her
search, 1t was a each containing
twenty bottle of perfectly good red
liquor.
The whiskey was turned over to
the police by the fair association.
If a man could read his own
biography it would surprise hin,

WHICH rs CHEAPER?

Suppose you should drain your crank
case and should lose gallon of oil. How
much is that?
Suppose you don't drain it or let it run
dry and melt crank shaft bearing or a
piston rod bearing and jam the whole inte-
rior mechanism of your motor.
Which is cheaper, to let the garage man
take your motor apart and make the neces-
sary repairs or to use plenty of oil and pre-
vent such an accident?
This matter of draining crank cases is
such an important one that we have in
stalled special draining pits at each of our

Tahltan Jennie
 Goes to Happy HuntingGround
Was Wife of Tahltan Billy, Now Blind, Who Is We'll Known Indian and For merly a Great Hunter.

On Thursday, Tahltan Jennie, one of the best known Indians of Wrangell, passed away here as a result of an acute attack of as- cending paralysis. As near as can be ascertained, her age was about 60 years.
 Her husband, Tahltan Billy. equally as we'll known and many years her senior, and already weighed down with infrmities (among them, he is almost blind) is pathetic indeed in his bereave- ment, for they have been insep- arable. Anonly child, a daughter, Mrs. Charlie Jones, resides in Wrangell.
 Tahltan Billy is known as a great hunter and a story is told of his method of getting animals after his sight failed which shows that Jennie was of inestimable help to him and quite a hunter herself. While Billy would carry the traps out and set them with the help of young girl relative who accompanied them on their trips, his lack of vision made it impossible for him to finish the task. This girl. Sarah Lott, would then be sent out later to look at the traps. If she found a bear in one, she would hurry back to camp and then Jennie's work would begin. Shouldering a weapon she would start out in spite of her lameness, and soon a shot would ring out that would end the life of the trapped beast, her superior sight thus supple menting his agility, and the task accomplished by their combined efforts.
 The funeral of Tahltan Jennie took place at Wrangell where she has made her home for over a quarter of a century, Sunday the 7th inst. The profusion of floral offerings covering her last resting place are mute testimonials of the many friends who thought of her, both white people and Natives.

Big Game Hunters Arrive from East for
 Trip Into Cassia1

i Four big game hunters arrived on the Royal Tuesday morning and spent several days in town while waiting to go up the river on the Hazel B. They were: R. N. Burns, Boston. Mass, k. L. Riley, Williamsport, Pa, Wen- dell A. Stone, Unionstown, Pa, and Charles V. Hoover, Miss more, Pa. It was Mr. Burns first visit to Alaska and to the West. In conversation, Mr. Burns stated that the hunting re- ports of W. H. Dodd of Tele- graph had awakened his interest in this region. It was a notice able fact, he said, that the bags brought out by Cassiar hunters were larger than those from other sections. He considered it well worth his while to cross the continent for a hunting trip here and was anticipating a very enjoyable time.

LET AI.ASKANS DO THE WORRY
 ING!

Federal officials in Washirethn are reported to be "disgustcd" with Alaska and Alaskans.
 In seeking to find suitable men for office in the territory, they are el. perienciug familiar contlicts>of in, terest.
 It doesn't seem to them that two residents Of the territory can asree for any length of time on any prot osition.
 And they are blaming the Alas kaus for this situation.
 Responsibility doesn's lie there.
 The trouble is to be found in Washington.
 The federal government is trying to run an empire thousands of miles distant instead of committing it's ad- ministration 10 men domiciled in the country; better still, to those who are residents or the voters in Alaska.
 Were there not so many men elect cd to Congress every two years, the national legislature would expert euce the same difficulty in admins tering the District of Columbia. As it is, this problem frequently be- comes acute enough 10 exercise the imagi' -tion of some members in bot uses.
 federal government is wise
 .gh to tell the free people of any
 !srican community how they shall administer their local affairs-and be successful in the telling.
 Alaska always will be source of trouble and irritation to the federal government so long as the federal government monkeys in territorial affairs.
 Whenever il commits Alaska's fu- jure 10 AIaskans. it's troubleS-and those of the the territory-wiil end.
 For We. in America, have way of settling squabbieS for office.
 We vote for the man of our choice aGd accept the choice of the major ity. whether our own or the other follows.
 When Alaska can do that, there will he no office intrigues there to worry President. secretaries or bu- reaucrats fn the national capital Seattle Times.
