WAR VETERANS
 MAN 10 LEAVE
 FOR WESTWARD
Cliff Wood Returns from Skagway- Will Leave on
 Alameda for Westward.

For the week February 27 to at Flames, balance at Ekagway, the following items were reported: Six reiDstatements and 13 conversions of insurance. 3 Victory medal applica- tions, 10 Victory buttons, travel pay claims, l lost discharge and 1 to Cll1f Wood, We erans' Contact or ficer. who returnel yesterday on the Eeteheth from Skagway.
 Eight out of the Is men now in Skagway have converted the.r gov ernmelt insurance, most of them to 20 payment life. The experience on the rest of the trip has been over whelmingly in favor of the ordinary life with the exception of turning that policy in fer 3 20-payment life some time within the next five years. The new policy gotten in exchange will tear the same age rate and date as the original ordinary fife policy turned in, and a payment of the difference in the reserves-which in effect will be making ID the diff ference in tke back premiums plus uterest-,will be the only condition. The effect, Of course, will be that the man will have about 50 per cent Tare insurance than if he went irto the higher priced insurance to start with
 Ut is my understanding that a number of the men from this sec tion died in service,' said MT. Wood "The next of kin of these men are entitled to have the Victory medal of the deceased aissued to them. They should bring in any official notification Of death they may have as it is important that the mans or ganization and numbers be given if possible The next of kin of those who have died since discharge may apply for the Victory medal if it has not been issued to the man him self. In this case bring in the dis charge.
 'There are many men yet who have not received the $60 discharge bonus provided by law February 24, 1919. Those discharged after that tlmem got it with their final pay and it will be so noted upon the dis charge"
 Mr Wood expects to leave March IS on the Alameda for the westward.
 George Mann, Territorial Adjutant of the American Legion has received inquiries from Chichagof regarding the cleanup campaign and the Vet, erans Bureau presentative has been asked to eadeayor to cover that ter ritory if possible. If Chichagof can not be taken care of before the west ward trip, or by the live Legion mem bers out there, plans will be made to cover it on the southbound trip, M" Wood said

COAST CITIES

 BY THIS JULY
Forrest Says No Anticipation for Better Conditions
 Until Summer.

There is no anticipation of i'm provement in business condition on Puget Sound until July; Bellingham is the best business city on the Sound at the present time. This is accord ing to statement made by c. F, Forrest, local business man, who re- turned here on the Queen from bus mess trip in the South. He was ac- companied by Mrs. Forrest.
 MT Forrest said that notwithstand- ing the present depression in busi. hess the building permit report in Seattle for the month of February was better than that of the previous year.
 Boost Alaska
 q believe the present campaign now being carried on by Seattle news papers concerning this Territory will greatly benefit Alaska. The daily papers publish articles on Alaska practically every day and especially advertise tia scenic b5auty aad tour ist routes here.
 The tourist trade to Alaska this season wili be 5ig. One of the off cials os steamship company in Seattle advised me that all accommo- d&tions were taken by reservation and that undoubtedly the company will be forced 10 qut additional steam CTS on the run to meet the demand of tourists. Indications are that there will be an exceptionally large number of tourists who will visit the interior b. way of the Government Railroad.
 c7nnery Operations
 'iCannery conditions in Alaska have a much more healthy appearance than those Of a year ago. There is no doubt in my mind but that the cannery operations will stimulate To- cad business.
 ''The canneryme en are unit in the desire to make the season short and to pack cOnseryatively.
 "The Atlantic and Pacific Tea Com pany, with cannery headquarters at Seattle, is branching out il Alaska this year and will operate three can neries. The company has leased the Craig Miller cannery on the wes. coast of the Prince of Wales Island and the Cape Edwards cannery from the Deep Sea salmon Company. A cannery will be built in Eid len h. let, in Portland Canal.
 Many Plants Ready
 'The Deep Sea Salmon Company will operate at Port Althorp. The Burkhart brothers will operate six canreries in the Territory, two of which will be the Tee Harbor can nery and the Columbia Salmon can nery at Tenakee. Other canneries will will operate are: P. E. Harris canrery at Hawk Inlet; Thlinget Packing Company, at .Funter Bay; Pa. cific American Fisheries Company at Hoonah; Hidden Inlet cannery, It Hood May; Libby, McNeil & Libby cannery, at Taku.

DON'T SWALLOW THEIR YOUNG
Popular idea Concerning Snakes Is Not
Borne Out by the Observations -,
,, Of Scientists. .~7-s

Snakes don't swallow their young.
The ventral scales on a female snake
are controlled bya muscle just behind
the head. Ordinarily they are hori-
zontal, but when the mother snake
scents danger she contracts the muscle
on the hack of her neck, which i'm
mediately brings the scales to u YER
teal position. This opens slit
under the bottom jaw, and at the same
time loosens the abdominal skin, thus
forming pouch. The younger ones
dart through the slit and into the
pouch, and this Is what has led peo-
pie to think they take refuge in the
mother snakes stomach.
1t requires careful and skilled dis.
section to detect the pouch, because
the skin shrinks when q snake is
killed. When the poison gland, Is re.
moved 1t tghtens the, skin under the
neck, and the youngsters ,can't , get
into the pouch. In the female snake,
between the pharynx and the g,llet,
there Is a peculiar, Iid.like valve,
and anything passing this valve can't
possibly return. : " g VII = IT, +.

to promote the welfare of the Bemidji district.

towns have similar organizations, Bem'd)i IS cltea

caps not to be encountered by older and better

hammer home the denloralizing result OF sending
thousands Of dollars out Of the community to en-

A fine feeling of mutual understanding resulted
between the farmers and the merchants and be-
