Selling was not so insistent IN the
late morning, but the general list
showed little rallying power and most
of the active stocks turned sluggish.
Mercantile stocks like Woclworth and
May Stores afforded exceptions, as did
Pressed Steel Car, whose strength was
accompanied BY reports Of divided re-
sumption at the Nov. s meeting. Pro
fessional activity was not as lively as
during the opening session, despite
the fact that many stocks showed a
disposition to weaken under pressure.
Twenty active industrial stocks on
Saturday averaged 1915. off rs per
cent. Twenty active rails averaged
1855, unchanged.

NEW YORK, Oct. pa con-
tinuation Of the selling movement in
progress at the weekend on the stock
exchange took place in the early deal
ings- today in which sentiment was
disturbed by Frances insistance that
no attempt be made to reduce her rep

Relief from the persistent pressure
on the general list was not forthcom-

The blue fox farmers association of southeastern Alaska are planning to start a fur market at KetcniKan for marketing the fur raised by the asso- citation. Over one hundred thousand dollars are invested in blue foxes in this locality alone.
 Three hundred and thirty four mil lion feet of pulp timber located in two units, one on the shores of Frederick Sound between Horn Cliff and Thomas Bay, the other between Cape Bendel and Point Kingsmill on the north end of Kupreanof island, are being adver tised for sale. It is probable that they will be purchased and used in the
 manufacture of pulp for the Peters burg mill.
 Col. H. P. Warren, who is outside on a vacation trip, has resigned his DO siticn with the Engineering commis- sion as purchasin~ agent, according to information given to the Alaska press. The Juneau Empire says that all the arrangement for the building of a pulp and paper mill at Thane have been completed, according to word brought from San Francisco by w. T. Tolch, formerly manager of the Alaska Gastineau Mining company.
 Additional advices received at Fair banks concerning the death of Miss Genevieve Creamer, a former Fair banks young lady who was run over by a truck recently, say the accident occurred while she was crossing a street in the city, her skull being bad ly crushed by the truck.

 A marked increase in all varieties of wild life in Alaska is noted, due it is believed to the decrease in popula- tion and the cessation of prospecting Wolves, coyotes, eagles and hawks are also growing in numbers. A Kenai lake rancher is reported to have a ptarmigan which can talk. Its tongue was split at an early age and after many months of labor it's own CT has taught it to say "Hurrah fo1 Volstead." Recently it flew off to 6 hillside and joined a flock of wild birds and it's owner heard it hurrah- ing for Volstead several times during the day. Late at night it returned home with its feather plucked out, al
 
 off. It's owner remarked, ''Well Ted dy; hurrah for Volstead.' To his as tonishment the bird replied ITO n-- with Volstead" It had struck bunch of sanity league birds.

The Countess Viroubova, who
was one of the governesses
of the child, was completely un-
der the sway of Gregory,
and these two, strong with the
sovereigns, played upon the health
of the little Czarevitch till it was
so undermined that had he lived
he would never have grown up to
mans height or strength or ability.
The poor child's health and happi-
ness were the pawns with which
this unnatural monster played, to
reap for himself and his peasant
family the riches Of Russia and
honor at court.
l shall always remember one
particular time when Rasputin
"cured" the heir. For, on that oc-
casion, was present at the holy
ceremonial. Gregory had the
child brought to him, into a room
of the palace which was empty,
except for the child and Gregory
and myself. Then the holy saint"
took off the child's nightgown. He
next addressed himself, till he
stood stark naked before me. He
laid the child down on a warm
sheepskin rug, which lay before
the hearth of a fireplace where
logs were burning. He retired 70
a corner. put something into his
mouth, reciting gibberish % he
did it. He mixed this powder with
the saliva Of his mouth. Then he
lay upon the young heir, touching
his bare skin with that Of the child.
He put into the boys mouth the
wet powder from his own mouth.
Then he got up and dressed. The
child was returned to his bed
chamber and at once showed signs
of Improvement. Gregory visited
him every day after this till he
was well, feeding him more pow
ders.
On the occasion when / was
present and beheld Rasputin work
upon the heir as ] have described,
| asked him later why he did what
he did.
THE reason 10 simple" said he,
"as the holy Elisha put flesh to
flesh in the curing Of the son Of
Enoch, so I, Russia's holy prophet,
touch The Czareyitch with my
sainted flesh and his lips with my
lips and he is cured. For l gave
the heir to Russia in the first place,
and by my constant watching over
him will / preserve him TO be the
sovereign of the Russian people"
Gregory Rasputin spoke these
words with a high jump into the
air, and at the end finished by
landing on the floor and twisting
his body, long and lean and sinu-
GUS, into the shape Of q cross.
