YORK HERALD on this subject.
If the proposed bill prohibiting high
school fraternities is seriously consid-
cred by. the New York Legislature, as
similar bills have been in other States
the hearings will be enlivened by
strong opposition. Some Of the Greek
letter brotherhoods are already pre-
pairing their case. Others appear in
different.
Graduates Of city high schools who
retain interest in fraternities to which
they belonged when they were boys
or girls insist that these organizations
have positive merit. In addition they
contend that the proposed law would
got eliminate them, but would merely
dNve them under cover and would
tend to make sneaks out of the boys
and girls. who would join them all the
faster If the sign forbidden" was
raised. They say that the Board of
Education, instead Of trying to sdfle
the secret societies, should give them
official sanction and allow them to
continue under faculty supervision.
One of the fraternity enthusiasts is
Bert w. Hendricks. a Brooklyn lawyer,
graduate of Manual Training High
School and Cornell University. AS
counsel for his high school society,
Omega Gamma Delta. he made speeches
in New Jersey last year. vainly trying
to persuade the Legislature to kill an
anti-fraternity bill. He says that al
though New York could not suppress
fraternites If it tried, because the
gregarious instinct is irrepressible, he
will go to Albany and fight the bill even
II Omega Gamma Delta has to fight
alone.

ROMANCE OF SOUTH SEAS
 FADES BEFORE NEW WAYS

HONOLULU, T. H. Dec. 30 The glamor, romance and adventure of the South Seas are disappearing before the spread of modern meth ods of industry, Education and liv- ing, according to J. F. G. Stokes. ethnologist attached to the Bishop Museum here, who has returned from tour of the Austral islands in connection with the museums s endeavor to establish the origin of the Polynesian race.
 Even Rapa--the pin dot island which became famous as a place where the men were fed by women and lolled around listlessly on a stretch of coral strand under shade giving palm trees--is beginning to show marks of civilization, despite the fact that the ratio of inhabi- tants continues to approximate four women to one man, Stokes said.
 There are only 23 taxpayers men between the ages of 21 and 60 on the island. The rest of the 236 inhabitants are women, young boys and old men. ...... .:. =..:". '.
 "All of the work except the fishing is done by the women, who are comedy, sturdy, exceedingly tall, muscular and hospitable," Stokes said. "The women who first drew attention to Rapa through stories that the women fed the men, ap- parently visited the island during a festival, when the women fed the men in fun. The women how ever, do perform all agricultural work. ..-.. ....-.
 Despite the heavy ratio of wo- men to men, no man has more than one official wife The women are none too willing to marry the man of Rapa, as they become little more than slaves, once they are married. They have no hold or con- trol over their husbands and if they attempt to enjoy the same privileges as their husbands they are liable to receive a severe beat ing.
 "The inhabitants of Rupa are ex- tremely hospitable to white man."

CAMP GRANT TO BE SOLD
 TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER

ROCKFORD. ILL. Dec. 30- Camp Grant, one of the wartime scenes of bustling military activity, soon is to go upon the aution block one of the final steps in its ultimate wrecking as a cantonment.
 Between l 200 and 1,400 buildings and utilities are to be sold, part of a camp that at the height of it's operations covered 5,656 acres of land and housed approximately 60,- 900 men. Three army officers are now making a survey of the sal wage value of the buildings, all To- cated in the area of the old base hospital site. ...... ...~ ...-
 Buildings in the area turned over to the national guard of Illinois and the portion reserved for the propos- ed reformatory for first term fed eral offenders, are not included in the survey. The Baldwin, Samuelson and Johnson farms are to be re- turned to their owners. Other pro- perties were bought by the govern ment and condemnation proceedings were necessary in some eases.
 It was on May 12,1917, that the War Department submitted to the Rockford Chamber of Commerce the requirements for military camp in northern Illinois. The site was inspected by five army officers May 30 and June 12 the lands were definitely selected. Leases were o5- tained on 3,3O1 acres. This later was reduced to 2,249 acres, when property intended for a range was found unsuitable. Subsequently a new rifle range and safety zone were selected and the total area cultimately used was 5,565 acres.
 The Eighty-sixth division was trained at Camp Grant. Several thousand negroe soldiers also were trained here. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were discharged at the camp after the war. Several public autions in the last year disposed of thousands of dollars worth If camp property. -**.
 The federal reformatory project : meeting opposition here. Rockford sent a representative to Washington to appear before the House Jud- iciary committee to protest against a favorable report on the bill To- eating the prison at Camp Grant.

KETCHlkAN DIVINE AIDS
 IN LOCATING LOST SON

Gladness has been brought to the home of one family this Christmas time by tidings of a long-lost son and brother, through the unremitt- ing efforts of the Rev. R. F. Fal- coner of Ketchikan since he receiy- ed last September letter from Mrs. Harriet A Gregg of Seattle, ask ing his help in locating Oliver Wat son 38, formerly of Wisconsin, whose parents had not heard from him for over twelve years. Joe Ulm- CT was the first to secure informa- tion of the sons whereabouts.
 During all these years says the Ketchikan Chronicle the onethought of the parents has been the finding of their boy. Three years ago they heard that young Watson had been seen in Spakane and in Seattle and was on his way to Alaska where he was going to engage in mining. Mr. and Mrs. Watson think it is nothing snort o1 miracle that aJ last tneIr hopes and prayers have been real ized and they may have their boy with them this Christmas. On December F, Mrs. Gregg re- ceived the following letter from Mir Watson: -:: ::~~..- 'I have just heard from our boy, His sister wrote to him at Anyox, B. C. and got nice letter from him.

OLDTIMER OF KUSKOKWIM
 IS CAUSE OF UNEASINESS

What has become of Herman Hinche queries the Kusko Times.
 This is a question that is puzzling and worrying his many friends and acquaintances, caused by his strange mysterious disappearance from his home on the North fork of the Kus- kokwim.
 When Jack Stewart and Charles Nystrom arrived at the North Fork cabin almost a month ago. they found the cabin deserted. On the door were three letters-one address sed to MT. Stewart one to MT Nystrom, and a third to United Sta tes Deputy Marshal McMullen.
 Mir. Stewart's note req as follows ... .. August 21, 1922 Friend Jack:
 am going away, and I say good by to you, Joe Wills and all my friends. I will write later on. . H. HINCHE. ..
 This note is a strange one, and open to several interpretations, es- pecially in view of the fact that his canoe was missing and that his large boat still remained in the water.
 MT. Hinche had purchased full winter outfit, the same as in form CT years, prepared to all appearances to spend another winter at his cab in on the North Fork.
 The note to MT. Nystrom, who crried Hinche's supplies to the North Fork; requested him to sell the supplies for what they would bring.
 It is also understood that Mir. Hinche some time ago left over a thousand dollars worth of fur with a friend to be shipped to the Out side.
 All in all, Mir. Hinche's disappear ance is most mysterious, and devel- opments in the case are awaited with anxiety and possible misgivings.

OLDTIMERS TELL
 OF DOINGS IN FAR CAMP

Henry and Bob Wells, Charles Nelson nd Frank Defresne arrived at Nome recently from the Kou- garok. Henry Wells was one of the election judges and brought the re- turns to Nome.
 The election was held for the Taylor Creek Precinct, the voting booth being in the Taylor Creek Roadhouse, run by Ben Lauraine and Tom Chase, old time Kougarok- CTS. Only nine votes were polled at this precinct. A fierce storm prevail ed turnout the district and several voters attempted to reach the polls, only to be forced to turn back. At the Roadhouse the propietors have made ample provisions for the win ter and their food supply is suffi- cient until next spring.
 At Iron Creek says the Nome Nugget, the party was held for one day by the storm and there met the north bound Kougarok mail carrier who had been storm bound for two days At this point the Wells boys and Nelson met Frank Dufresne who had come over from the Hot Springs. The trip from the Springs to Iron Creek proved quite an experience to Frank. The storm caught him between the two sta tions and he was forced to spend two days on the trip, sleeping out with his dog team.
 Mr Wells states that the trail from Iron Greek north will prove hard mushing for the mail carrier as the snow is soft and deep, with no travel to break trail. From Iron Creek to Nome the trail Is in good condition, plenty snow and no over flows to bother
 Regarding mining conditions in the Kougarok Mir Wells states that about fifteen men are busy freight ing and mining.
 James Corregan and Frank O'Col- or are to take out dump on No. 21 Above Aliens discovery on the Kougarok river.
 Ben Lorraine will work near the junction of Taylor Greek and the Kougarok River.
 Mike Kennedy will prospect on HoInestake Creek.
 Freighters for the Mathews dredge are now hauling dredge supplies from Davidson Landing. The oil and other supplies reach the Landing via Teller and the Mary's River and then are freighted 4 miles to the dredge at the mouth of Hen- " Creek.
 The Wells boys and Nelson spent the summer hydraulicing on Dreamy GuIch and notwithstanding a back ward cold summer their operations proved highly satisfactory. The boys will remain in Nome for about so days and then return to the Kouga- ok to prosecute their winter mining.
 At the close of their summers work the boys cleared out their ditch widened it and placed the en- tire system in condition so that next summer their operations can pro- ceed on a larger scale.
 Referring to the cloudburst that swept the Kougarok basin, Wells states that several new paystreaks were uncovered along Henry Creek and as a consequence new mining ground was staked. In several in- stances the creek was widened out to twice it's original width, the bed of the creek was secured to bed rock and the banks washed away.
