FUR sil BUYERS OPEN
 AN OFFICE IN ALASKA

Louis Sohulman, for several years connected with Goldstein's Empori- um at Juneau, recently resigned to become Alaska agent for the Eiten- gon- -Schild Co.,, Inc, of New York, fur dealers. Mr. Schulman is now in New York to confer with members "of the firm there on the establish ment of agencies in various sections o1 Alaska.
 While we are, of course, entering the general fur buying field in Alas ka," said Mr. Schulman in recent interview, it is our intention to de- vote especial attention to the blue fox industry which has been built up by the fox ranchers in Alaska. At the present time blue fox peits find their largest outlet on the London, England, market. They are shipped to London and put on sale there and a large proportion of the pelts find their way across the Atlantic to New York City. It is the plan of the firm to divert this trade from London to New York by offering the growers market having equal facilities to that presented in London
 MT. Schulman said that Eitingon- Schild company is one of the largest fur concerns in the world. It has 30 branches and agencies, exclusive of those now being esta tablished in Alas ka. These are located all over the world. No location has yet been se- lected for Alaska headquarters, he aid.-Skagway Alaskan.

Jefferson Disabled
 On Her Way South
lketchikan CnronicieJ

Disa bled, with a broken propeller shaft, the steamship Jefferson was lowed into port this morning by the lighthouse tender Cedar which an- swered the radio call Tor assistance. The accident occurred last nignt at lO:4O o'clock, just before the vessel entered Dixons entrance.
 At first il was thought that the Jefferson had lost her propeller, but a survey made by the chief engineer and Captain Livingston this morn ing showed that 1t was the shaIt which had broken. The Medon, of the Alaska Steamship company is due from the south on Monday. It will tow theJ Jefferson south. In the meantime the passengers Will live aboard the boat and will continue to do so while it is being lowed south.
 When c. NJ. Taylor, agent of the Alaska Steamship company, received word last night from Captain Liv- ingston as to the accident he imme- diately got in touch with c. N. Eliot, assistant superintendent of the light house service who is in charge during the absence of Capt. w. C. Dl- brell. Capt. J. w. Leadbetter Of the Cedar was called on the telephone and in a few minutes the boilers were being fired. In half an hour she was on her way.
 The Cedar came upon the Jeffer- son a few minutes after four o'clock this morning and taking a line lowed her back to port.
 All the passengers on the Jefferson showed much courage, and 75 per cent of them went to bed, leaving the worry of the situation to Cap tain Livingston and the crew. Of the others who remained on deck, prac- tically all stayed up to see the ex- citement and through curiosity.
 Captain Livingston today said that the passengers showed good courage, were well behaved and aided the of ficers very materially by not becom- ing excited. The passengers on the other hand said many kind things to- day regarding the master of the ship. Despite the fact that the ship was drifting about and not many boat lengths from dangerous rocks, he an- swered courteously all the million questions which were asked and gen. orally kept everybody better humored than he must have felt himself.
 Also, Captain Livingston praised highly the prompt response of the Cedar and the manner in which Cap tain Leadbetter handled the situa- tion.
 During the night, while the Jeffer- son was floating about waiting for assistance, a number of small boats came along. At least two of these refused to stand alogside, to await developments and give assistance if necessary. Two fishing vessels, how ever, did remain and were ready for any eventuality, to give such assist ance as might be possible.
 Fortunately the water was very calm, with little off shore wind, and the tide coming in. The boats on the Jefferson were uncovered and were ready to be dropped into the water at any time if it became nec- essary.
 The passengers aboard the Jeffer- son from Wrangell were: J. N. Nichols, E. NJ. Boone, M. w. Bakke, Mrs. Isabe Watson, Jack Watson, H. F. Wise, R. McPherson, J. o. Lindsay, Mrs. R. w. Duncan, J. s. H. Louci, Sam Took.

ESKIMO PIE HAS

Eskimo Pie, or chocolate coated

confection is new in Newberry and
everywhere else for that matter, Tor
if is the recent invention of Christian
X. Nelson Of Chicago.
Nelson went to Chicago from Om-

before Nelson pays his income tax.
What did it?
The idea.
Nelson's idea was to cover a square
of cold ice cream with layer OF not
chocolate. thus making a CONNECTION
with real ice cream inside.
He got that idea while he was man
aging his fathers ice cream plant out
in Omaha, Ia. And he furthered 1t
while he was studying chemistry at
college.
When he was graduated he ped
died the idea around from ice cream
factory to ice cream factory. Every
body laughed at him.
Cover cold ice cream with hot
chocolate? Man, you're crazy" they'd
say.
But Russell Slower, manager OF an
