A little girl of ten years was clear

the side door of a farmhouse sc
small that it barely emerged from Its
brilliant setting Its walls, soiled
yellow-white, poked out of the drifts
with an air Of innocent disreputability
and its long roof dipped deep into the
solid snow. The child did not pause
until she reached the gate; then she
straightened her slim back experiment

air. With a wide sweep of her NIT
tened hand she cleared the top rail-
of its incumbrance of snow, and swung
herself up to perch there. She sat,
funny, nunched little figure In tight
Jacket. and a full and too short skirt
which betrayed to a censorious world
extraordinarily knobby long legs. She
was a red-haired child, with an eager
wedge of a face that took no color
from the keen wind off the New York
hills; against the pallor Of her cheeks
her lips showed brilliantly red. and
her eyes gloomed deep and ceremoni-
GUS above an impudent nose. On the

 BuIkhardt Out of Field.
 r. o. Bnrkhardt. vice president of the Alaska Pacific Fishreies and Alaska Consolidated canneries, who is we'll known in Alaska and who acted as general manager for the Alaska Consolidated canneries in this district last year, will not re- turn to the north this year, MT. De- Long said. He has been made man. ager of the sales department for the Alaska Consolidated canneries, which office was recently establish ed for the marketing of the can neries output, with headquarters at Seattle. All goods packed by the company in the past have been mar keted through separate selling agen- cies on a brokerage basis. MT. Burkhardt will start East this month to get acquainted with the trade and establish connections in the various distributing markets.
 Associated with Mr. Burkhardt in the sales department are J. E. Sal mon, for several years associated with the Petersburg Packing Con- pany. and Mrs. c. W. Clark, former ly with the Seaboard Commercial Company and for the past two years with the Elmer W. Smith Company of Seattle. MT. Salmon's work with the Petersburg company was mainly in the selling end, and he has been in the canned fish brokerage business on his own ac- count, becoming well acquainted with the trade both in the east and along the Pacific Coast, and gain ing a thorough going knowledge of marketing. Mrs Clark also has comprehensive understanding of the details of shipping, accounting and office work in connection with the sale and delivery of canned sal mon, making well-rounded organi- zation which MT. Burk hardt believes will not only prove efficient in the work of marketing the pack. but also give first-class srevice to the trade.

ALL .CANNER|ES WILL RUN THIS YEAR
In Good Financial Condition Cannerymen Optimistic
 Says DeLong.

Indications are that practically every cannery in Southeastern Alaska will be operated this season. Wal ter DeLong, manager of the c. W. Young Hardware Store, and in- terested in the salmon canning in- dustry, said today. MT. DeLong conferred with a number of can nery men in the States, on his re- cent trip there and said all with whom he talked are optimistic for this years salmon pack.
 The previous packs have all been disposed of and the cannerymen anticipate prices for the 1923 packs will be as high as the past year, which were: pinks, s120; chums. s1.25 reds, $2.25; echoes, $1.s5.
 Financial Condition Good.
 As result of the packs of 1922 and of the prices received almost all of the canneries are reestablish- ed in credit and are in good finan- cia condition, Mr. DeLong said.
 Crews for getting the various plants in condition for operating are already leaving Seattle and all will practically be in the north this month Hans Floe, superin- tendent of the p. E. Harris Com pany plant at Hawk Inlet and Aug ust Buschmann, of. the Deep Sea Salmon Company, operating at Port Athorp, will leave Seattle shortly for the north.

OKLAHOMA CITY, October IL.
The Oklahoma legislature meet
ing determined to impeach Govern
or j. G. Walton, was called upon
by the executive today to enact
laws striking at "secret organiza-
tions which represent fear, false
hood and religious hatred
In message delivered to the leg
islature, gathered in special session
under most dramatic circumstances,
the governor reviewed the "spread
of lawlessness throughout the
state during the last two years. He
discussed testimony of beatings

responsible.
The executive then pleaded for
immediate passage of an anti-klan
measure making wearing of mask
a felony and punishable by fine and

With the final drive against Old
Man Dirt less than "a hours away,

the cleanup campaign which has
been prominently before the minds
of residents during the past two
weeks. Alleys, streets and vacant
lots are piled with rubbish waiting

this time it is well to exhort the
men of Ell Centre that they must not
fall down on tomorrow's job:
The women and youngsters have
been doing wonders all week but it
is too much to ask them to get out
and help load the trucks which will
cart the rubbish away. Tomorrow

and there are very few who cannot
take off two or three hours to as

more to FL Centre, and incidently
to them, than any amusement. y.

RUTH SWEEPS YANKEES TO VICTORY
McGraw Signals
Each Man From
Obscure Dugout

NEW YORK, October H.
bumped down in a dugout at
the Polo Grounds sits John Me
Graw, manager of the Giants,
conjurer, baseball magician and
master mind.
From his nimble fingers stretcl
invisiblcs wires and with them
he bangles nine mannekins upon
the field. =
At the plate stands George
Herman Ruth, the mighty Babe.
In his fists he carries cave
man club. With it he pokes =.
at the invisible wires of John
McGraw, slashes and batters at
them.
The Giants won the first
game of the series because the
brain of McGraw was greater
than the bar of Ruth. 1t was
Casey Stengel who pounded out
the winning run for the Ma
tionals but it was John Nc
Graw who made it possible.
Simple Signals
McGraw uses the simplest
e;pnals in the world. With
them he directs practically ev-
cry ball that is pitched to the
Yankee battcrs. With them he
tells his batter when to hit
and when not to. He believes
that the judgment of Il man
Oh the bench out of the thrill
of the contest is better than
the man working under the ex-
citement of play.
McGraw gives his signals
with his hands and the position
of his body. They are relayed
when the team is in the field
by Snyder or Gowdy, his catch
ers.
Watson was taken out of the
box yesterday because he re-
fused to obey these signals, it
is learned.
The Yankee attack and def
ense is centered around Babe
Ruth. No thatter how many
stars or near stars are on the
team, it wins only when Ruth
