oil, oakum and paint, believed to have
been stolen from the Shipping Board

Danville.-Local officials Of the Mer-
ril Coal Mines, Inc, which is in Logan
county, W. Va, operated by local capi>
tai, said that the strike of shopmen Is
seriously affecting their coal deliver
les. Their normal shipment per diem
is Is cars but for the last two days no
cars have been available. This is
non-union mine and has been operat
ing continuously during the strike.
The mine officials here assert that even
though the coal strike were settled I'M
mediately it would be some time be-
fore normal production could be
reached in view of the shortage of coal
cars.
Lynchburg.-Iha conditions have
generally been favorable for farming
throughout the state as indicated by
the following weekly resume of climate
and crop conditions, issued by the
weather bureau for the week ending
last Tuesday:
Moderate temperature prevailed.
Needed rains fell at the beginning of
the week and local showers occurred
again Saturday. Heavy precipitation
in the southeast delayed cultivation;
peanuts especially are IN need OF more
cultivation at local points. The con-
dition of corn, sweet potatoes, cotton
and tobacco is good TO excellent and
growth during the past week has been
rapid.
Some tobacco is being topped and
cultivation of corn is nearing compile
ton. Dat harvest is IN progress; the
winter crop Is good while the spring
Sown is only talr, and at points poor,
a good hay crop is being harvested
under fairly favorable conditions.
Truck continues plentiful and in good
condition. Pastures are mostly good
and stock in fine condition. Fall plow-
ing has begun locally and work is gen.
orally we'll up. Reports Of the wheat
yield continue unsatisfactory"

fortunately some of the present laws
are not for the benefit of the greatest
number and this condition was not
discovered until tos gate. owing no
doubt to the lack of organization of
the "sportsmen" and the minority had
the voice, it is just such condition
that the alexandria Rod and Gun

so that when law comes up for con-

can discuss it and advise their repre-

More than once the ship has
seemed to be on the rocks, but she
has veered off safely, and it would
seem that the most dangerous mo-

are now past. This will be a pre-

South American history. 1t midi

THE TACNA QUESTION

We held our breath some
months ago when we first learned
that Chill and Peru were to settle
their boundary disputes by arbl-
tration. These differences are OF
many years standing, and have
more than once brought the two
countries to the verge of war,
But the League of Nations and
the Disarmament Conference, and
the leading part assumed by the
United States in both, have IN
spired confidence in the rest OF
the world as to Our diSintereSted-
ness and altruiStic motives. 1t IS
a distinct relief TO turn from the
unsettled conditions in Europe to
those of the Western Continent.
While we have our domestic trout
bles, from Alaska to Patagonia,
still they are not of such nature
as to threaten the uprootlng OF
our institutions. And the specta-
Gle OF the most warlike nations III
South America agreeing to arbi-
trate matter of such deicacy as
a boundary question, is the most
encouraging event that has hap
pened in this world since the Ar
mStice.

FOREIGN WHITE STOCK

The Department of Commerce
has recently given out for publ
cation some quite interesting fig
rreS as to the foreign white stock
in the United States. By this
term is meant the total foreign
born white population plus the
native white population with one
or both parents foreign-born. In
1910 the English and Celtic group
formed 30,S per cent of the total
foreign white stock. The Ger
man group formed POS per cent.
While in 1920 the former had de-
,clined to POI per cent, and the
latter to pa per cent.

ARCTIC ICE
 GIVES PARTY : MANY THRILLS

Through the courtesy of Harry Bloomfield, says a recent issue or the Nome Nugget, the Nugget is able to give an interesting account ot condl- tions prevailing in the far northern section of Seward Peninsular Mr. Bloomfield has been in the employ of H. Liebes Go. of San Francesca, and has been in the Arctic on a fur buying expedition for his firm.
 On August 21 the Bear made her annearance about six miles off the coast of Point Barrow and was seen from the hill tops by the residents Of inc village, who were anXiOusly await ing her arrival The ice was solid from shore far out into the ocean and those who proposed to board the Bear made immediate preparations to go aboard via dog teams. This appear apce of the Bear heralded the first arrival of a boat for the season of , 1922 and was the first time since 1858 that the Bear was the first boat to ar rive One entire week had been taken bv the cutter to crawl from Waln- wright to Point Barrow. Ice was en- countered at every foot and the Bear was forced to slip in and out of leads that enabled her to proceed to her destination.
 At six miles from shore solid ice was encountered and a party of men ana Miss Mueller, the nurse bound for the Point Barrow hospital left the Bear to come ashore and notify the people to come aboard at once before the ice closed in again and forced the Bear to leave.
 At the same time that the party was leaving the Bear, the shore party, unknown to the former had employed four dog teams with three men to each sled and twelve men sent ahead with axes to clear the way, and were on their way to the boat. Suddenly the travellers on the ice heard warning cry from the natives on shore, indicat- ing that the ice had parted and that the drift was out to sea. Hurrying back it was discotered that for half a mile the ice had parted from the so-called Ridge" and was drifting northward Mr Brewer, the head of the H. Liebes Company at Barrow, dis patched two skin boats with seven men to rescue the people on the ice.

arrival being of the vintage of January 9th date. It can be readily understood that the mail on the Herman was of great interest and value, but all was left behind and may be procured some time in the future.
 After the party boarded the Bear she at once proceeded down the coast to- wards Nome. The trip as far as Sledge Island was continuous series of blzzards and it is felt that the boats left at Wainwright and Barrow are in most precarious position
 Regarding Point Barrow and it's environs, MT. Bloomfield states that many oil claims have been staked for miles along the coast. Seepage oil oc- CUTS in numerous places, indicating the presence of valuable deposits. The claims staked will be held by the stakers and efforts made to interest capital in the development of the field. At Cape Simpson is found lake of oil so pure that without further refining it can be used for lubricating purposes. Both the Standard Oil Company and other oil companies have their eyes on this part of the country and develop ment probabilities are very encourag- ing.
 The new hospital at Barrow has been running for the last year and Miss Mueller, the nurse from New York, proves herself valuable addi- ton to the hospital staff. Miss Flor ence Dakin is the chief nurse and was badly in need of assistance to con- duct the rapidly growing institution, which is filling great want in the country. People come for hundreds of miles to obtain assistance from pr.
 ~'"i"n in charge.
