Fur Coats Are Within Purses Reach Notu

One can look forward TO a coal
shortage with greater equanimity
when one remembers that there can
be no possibility OF a fur shortage.
Judging by the number OF fur
coats in the shops. Haunting their
summer prices. there must be at
least one for every woman and child
in the country.
Prices are fixed on a more sliding
scale than ever before-that is they
have slid further down into the grasp
OF the average wallet.

A. Year-OM Boy
SuUeS Sisters And
Brothers BY Pluck

Fort William, Ont, Jan. a.
Six little Indian children who left
the frozen bodies of their father
and mother in the northern trap
ping wilderness, today reached
Watcomb on the Canadian govern
ment railway after a fortnight OF
tramping over snow covered
ground. The five younger chill
dren, ranging upward from baby
Of a few months, were brought
back by their 14-year- old brother
and neighbor.
Their father, Atchimo Nan
Tuchess, trapper, and their moth
er both died of influenza in the
family's woodlawn hut on Friday,
January 13. That day the father
called Atchimo, the oldest boy, to
his beside, told him the end was
near, gave him $1,000, the fruits
of his trapping, and bade him care
for his brothers and sisters. There
was little food in the home.
Unable to bury the bodies, At
chino left them in the shack with
the five other children while he
set out on snowshoes to fetch the
nearest neighbor, 80 miles away.
Two days later Atchimo came back
with John Hingoosh, the neigh
Dor. The five hungry tots were
chewing raw moose flesh for nour-
ishment. They had burned most
of the furniture to keep from
freezing. The bodies of their par
ents were frozen. The younger
children were packed on the dog
sled by Hingoosh and Atchimo,
who then began the long mush to
Watcomb, where they were fed
and given medical aid. It is fear
ed the baby will die.

Dixon Holds
Lumber Rate
Yet TooHigEl

Washington, Jan. 27.-Lumber
rates from the north Pacific coast
to eastern consuming centers are
still above proper levels, A. G.
Dixon, appearing for the West
Coast Lumbermens association,
declared today in the interstate
commerce commission rate inquiry
In December, 1921, he said,
mill price of fir lumber in Oregon
ranged around Sits per thou
sand feet, while the freight rate
on the rroduct to Chicago was
1898, leaving 52 percent Of the
delivered price as the cost of
transportation and 48 per cent as
the cost of the product itself.
These percentages, he said, were
greater for the railroads than
they were in previous months,
when the freight charge was light
er and the mill price of lumber
was higher.
AS a a.result, Mr.. Dixon said,
railroad revenues from the pro-
duct of 176 lumber mills shipped
over the lines had been 16 percent
less during 1921 than they were
in the period prior to rate in
creases in 1920 because Of the
falling off in production. Ocean
freight rates already had drop
ped far enough to secure great
part OF the business from the Pa
cific coast, he said, and showed
signs of further yielding"

Fast Run of Fire
Department Saves
House Here Today

Early arrival OF fire fighters
headed by Chief Buck" Hutton
prevented what probably would
have been a disastrous fire in a
house owned by Mrs. Richard Hol-
man, 344 Front street, at II
o'clock this morning.
The blaze, according to firemen,
probably caught from a stove
pipe which had been extended
through a wood partition. Al-
though $50 or $75 will probably
cover the damage, the fire would
have been far more serious had the
blaze gone unextenguished for a
few minutes longer, It was said.
