According to word brought to Anchorage recently by J. A. McGill, considerable anxiety is felt for the safety of young native boy whose home is near the Anchorage Pack ing Company's plant between Point Possession and Moose Point. The boy left the trapsite one morning, ex- pecting to retunrn by noon, but no trace has been had of him since. A MT. Jungerlin. who is in charge of the trap stated that the same morn ing the boy left the trap site it was visited by three mammoth brown bears. one of them being a female with two cubs. Jungerlin shot and killed one of the largest bears. The belief is entertained that the bears after being driven away from the trap encountered the boy and did away with him.

SOUTH N0W LEADS IN TEXTILE MILLS.
Consumes More Raw Mate- riaIS Than North And
 Gains In Activities

NEW YORK, June 23.-Recent pur- chases of southern cotton mills by New England interests and more es- pecially the actual transfer of com piete mill equipment from the north to the south have emphasized the acceleration of a movement which has been under way since the begin ming of the century. The tendency for cotton manufacturing to make larger gains in the cotton growing states than elsewhere in the United States is partly due to greater access slbility to the raw material, but more important than this have been lower taxation and cheaper labor costs. says the National Bank of Commerce.
 The change may. in fact, be iden- tified as part of aN worldwide movement of the cotton textile lndus- try to seek locations where lower la bor costs prevail" says the bank. Tt Is to be recognized, of course, that the southern industry Is much younger than the northern and as rule Industrial development in new territory progresses rapidly if condi- tions are at all favorable. The north ern mills still have the advantage Of nearness to the market for their products"
 Southern mills have for long time consumed more cotton than the northern mills" continues the bank. "In the past the excess was accounted for by the fact that mills in the cotr ton belt spun coarser yarn than the other mills. More recently, especlal- ly since the beginning of 1921, the difference between the consumption of southern and other mills has ln- creased, and the south has definitely assumed the lead in relative activity

SWEDISH WORKERS GOl BACK TO AGRICULTURE
Farm Movement Meets With Sus'
 cess, Stockholm Papers Say

STOCKHOLM, June 23.-Sweden's back to the soil" movement. startcda to turn certain unused lands to ag-l ricultural production and at the sameg time to provide farms for the excesss of industrial workers who hads diff ficulty in finding employment when the postwar boom ended, has all ready resulted in a number of tew and successful farming colonies, ac-' cording to the tockholm newspapers
 A typical case which illustrates how men without jobs have beens transformed into proprietors of 40 acre farms, with home, lcve stock, im-i plem ents, etc, is seen in the colony at Basbo. A tract of 476 acres, part of a private estate, was purchased by the Private Homes commission and divided up into 10 farms. Three ten ant families of the estate were put into possession of a parcel each on condition that they serve as leaders and instructors of the other sevenl colonists, who were selected from the of the cutlery| works at Eskilssuna. Each farm had a cottage and the commission fur 1. ther provided each colonist with ohe| horse, two cows, number of hogs chickens, etc. Each farm has 2ol acres or more of forest, which, it is expected, will be conserved and made productive.
 The average cost of the land was s1 800 for each farm, and the cost of the improvem entS when completed will average about $1.S00. The if nancing was done by the Private Homes commission out of tho public funds appripriated for the purpose Each farmst4ad carries mortgage but the interest is low and the terms of payment easy.

as well as In consumption of raw material. On March 31, 1923. the cot ton growing states had only 7S per cent as many spindles as there were elsewhere, but as during that month they had kept a larger proportion in activity, and because they worked each active spindle two-ffths longer than In the north. the total active spindle hours in the south were one sixth greater. A
 "The contrast between the progress of cotton manufacturing in the south as compared with the north is strik- ing. Northern mill consumption, though showing good recovery from the slump of 1920, has never regained the level of the earlier part of that year, and April, 1923, consumption, 214ooo bales. was 23 per cent less than the high record established in March, 1916. Southern mills, on the other hand, have recently been set ting new records. April consump tion, 364,000 bales, surpassed by per

cent the wartime record of May 1917.
 Spindle activity has also increased more rapidly in the south than else where. The active spindle hours per bale of cotton consumed were third less in the south than In the north in March. 1923. Yarn production in the United States increased from 1,i67,- 000000 pounds in 1899 to 2,347.000,000 rounds in 1919. the latest date for which census returns are available.
 The mills in the cotton growing states contributed seven -eighths of this gain. having an output of 1,351,- 000,000 pounds in 1919, compared with 596.0s0. 900 in the northern mills. or the total production in 1919, 1,12S,- O00,000 pounds were classified as coarse, that is, number 20 and under; 1.063. .00o.000 as medium, number 21 to 40, and 161 100000 as fine, or number 41 and over.

CAT LEADS ORCHESTRA
 ON ROOF OF HOSPITAL
Feline Dancers Duck When Ambu-
 lance Bell Rings

PHILADELPHIA. Juno 23.-A big tomcat Is the director of this or chestra and his baton is 8 strangely long tail.
 The orchestra plays on the slip pery slate roof of the Jewish Hos> pital's dispensary at Old York and Tabor roads. And in addition to the music furnished. the orchestra trips the light fantastic-and the doctors don't like 1t much. And when they the cats-tire of dancing, they fall into good old-fashtoned rough-and- tumble.
 The tomcat Is the ringleader. When the ambulance bell rings he ducks. The orchestra inm ediately stops play ing, the dancers feet are stilled and the black cats, yellow cats, gray cats and Maria cats fade away into darkness.
 But they always return. Doctors at the hospital toll how one belated man at dawn saw these crazy cats erect on their hindlegs gambling noisily over the roof. He dived int. his hip pocket and smashed to the ground something in the nature of a big brown bottle and fled in a panic.
 They are very human cats, however, and would rather not excite so much attention; but the world is hard and artists must always have their cross- es to bear.
