Pekin-Measures for the immediate

manded of the Pekin government by
the American, British. Italian, French
and Swedish ministers, who acted un.
der instructions Of their governments.
The five ministers, presenting a

powers, 1t was said, would be COM
PEELED to act drastically unless the
missionaries were released and guar.
antees given for the future safety Of
the hundreds of other missionaries
in China. ,.t
The note was couched in vigorous
language. 1t declared that the mis-
sIonaries were carrying on their work
in the interior of China under treat
les which had been violated by the
abductions.
1t is understood that Washinton in
structed Jacob Gould Schurman, the
American minister, to impress upon
China the seriousness of the bandits
activities in OBTAINING foreigners for
political motives. DR.. Schurman pro-
tested only in behalf of the two Amer
ican captives. but Joined the other min
listers in a general complaint against
interference with the treaty rights of
missionaries.
Besides the Americans, the captives
now include one Greek, one French cit
izen, one British subject, one Swedish
and one Italian. The French minis
ter represented the missing Greek.
The Italian hostage was identified as
Father Gl-imaldi, who was captured in
Anhewei province and taken into Hon.
an province, where about 10000 out
laws have been holding large area.
The others all are detained in Holman.
The bandits have seized the various
nationals with view of forcing the
Pekin government to incorporate the
bandits in the regular Chinese army.
Most of the brigands are dismissed
soldiers who want reinstatement.

SNOW SLIDE ON MOUNT ROBERTS
 CAUSES DAMAGE
Power Line Taken Out and Juneau-Sheep Creek Road
 Blocked to Traffic.


 One of the biggest snowslides in years came tearing down the slope of Mount Roberts between Juneau and Thane at o'clock last evening, taariHg out before it the power line of the Alaska Gastineau Mining Com pany and blocking the Juneau-Sheep Creek road to traffic.
 The location of the slide is the old familiar spot where slide oc. curs each year. being almost opposite the town of Douglas At this spot there is a basin in the hillside that holds the snow until a heavy rain comes and starts it thawing
 Last night those who saw the biz body of snow and mud coming tear ing down the hillside declare that it was q great sight. Contrary to GUS 'om, practically the whole accumula- ion of snow in the basin and in he gully that leads from it to the beach, gave way at once
 The whole mass, at some points 50 oct deep. came roaring down and much of it hit the Channel, throwing 2 eeyser of water into the air for a 1eight of more than 100 feet. In or linary years the snow loosens in -mall iHstallments and very seldom re3ches the Channel
 Bridging the path of the slide, the Alaska Gastineau Mining Company las a power line, bringing power from their Salmon Creek plant On either sile of the gully there is q '9rge tower. The slide of last night. although hitting these towers with tremendous force, did not wreck i hem or carry them out, but the wires were grounded.
 The grounding of the wires put out the lights in Juneau and Douglas as the Alaska Electric Light & Power ] Company receives power from the 1 Gastineau company. The lights went out at 6:05 last night and at 6:55 were on again. Men were sent out who cut the grounded wires so that there was no more interference with the system.
 The biggest damage done by tha slide, according to Alaska Gastineu | Company officials, is the blocking If the Juneau-Sheep Creek highway. i The road in the track of the slide is covered to a great depth with snow md mud Until this is cleared out the only way to travel between ] Thane and Juneau is by water Many l 7eople are in the ha bit of using the road for automobile traffic when on i business or pleasure trips.

LONDON, Jan. 12.-India will soon be able to produce the cheapest steel in the world. says an announce ment by two British firms which have undertaken to organize the "Unitel Steel Corporation of India, Ltd They propose to establish, as soon as possible, works on a large scale, near deposits of iron, coal and limestone.
 Iron ore of high quality, fluxes of suitable character and excellent coking coal occur close together in Bilhar and Orssa, the companies state. and the cost of these materials is much lower than has to be paid for them in other producing countries.

DAIRY
FACTS
PRACTICE Of PAsTEuRlzINe
Dealers Know That Milk So Treated
Keeps Better and Prevents
Spread Of Disease.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The practice of pasteurizing milk Is
growing rapidly in the cities Of this
country, as shown by figures collected
by the United States Department of
Agriculture. Through pressure Of
health departments and through volun-
tary action by milk dealers, plant after
plant has been switched over from raw
milk. 1t is now generally recognized
by those who have studied the prob
ems Of milk supply, that proper pas
teurization does not injure the chemi-
cal or nutritive properties Of milk, and
that it does destroy all bacteria that
may produce disease. Milk dealers
know that milk so treated keeps bet
ter and satisfies customers, and that
1t prevents outbreaks of disease which
might cast discredit on their product
and injure their business.
With these facts in mind it Is easy
to see why the practice has grown. In
1915 only IT'S per cent of the cities
with population of more than 100000
reported more than half of their milk
pasteurized, while in 1921 every city
in this class had milk supply more
than so per cent of which was pas
teurized. In 1915 more than 10 per
cent of the cities of $1,000 to 100000
people had no pasteurized milk, but
during the past year all Of them had
some part Of the supply pasteurized.
p The increase in pasreurization In
small cities is particularly striking
Take, for example, those from 10000
to 25,OOO population. In 1915 about
40 per cent had pasteurized milk, but
in 1921 nearly 81 per cent had it. Even
in cities below 10000 population pas
teurization is becoming more common.
