AN ADAMLESS EDEN

Some years ago in Dawson Charles Meadows, Arizona Char ley, undertook to organize an ex- petition of 50 men to invade a cer- tain field in the south seas that was known as the Adamless Eden, the population reported to be 20 women to one man. Arizona Charley's plan was to have himself elected king of the island and to live happi- ly ever after.
 If Arizona Charley" were still in the north and possessed of the same aspirations, it would not be necessary for him to make the long trip to the south seas to find man less community. Had he been here last Tuesday he could have, achieved his object by purchasing ticket and boarding the steamer Alameda which had just completed the cir cult of all the principal ports of Southeastern Alaska with a party of 200 excursionists of which ap- proXimately 1S0 were women and the remaining 20 were mostly old men who required assistance in crossing the gang plank. There were three or four young men aboard but they looked like fellows who would congregate on the upper deck with all-day-suckers in their mouths-regular milk toast boys.
 And pretty women to the number of 1S0-stately matrons whose very carriage and demeanor exuded evi- dences of wealth; school teachers who knew to a cent what they had started with, what they had spent, what they had left and what they intended to have left; stenograph- CTS and office girls to whom the tintina bulations of the dining room gong was sweet music and who shuddered every time they thought of crackers and a glass of milk serv- ed on the arm of a chair in a White Lunch; school girls who giggled, carried powder puffs in their hands and didn't care whose toes they stood on, but all growing because there were no boys to dance with or to feed them chocolates behind the smokestack.
 Just what has become of the men this year is a question. Certain it is that the live ones are not among the excursionists in any great num- bers It may be that the male of the species is too busy in affairs of life-oil or bootlegging-to take the time necessary for vacation but it is a cinch that he is not among those present. It is also a cinch that he does not know what he is missing or he would be among those present-Stroller's Weekly.

Further News About Tragedy
 At feIerSDurg

The telersDurs neraiu unuel date ot August 1 las the Iollu Ius 10 add regaruIng the muruer lnere on July 24 ot seventeen-year ola Margaret Adrianoft, one of the most highly respected glrls In fe.- ersDurg, by Harry ousuki, whom the Mrangell Japanese declare nas been mentally unbalanced TOT some time.
 c. AdrainoIf, the father or Mar garet, who was Killed by the mur- oerous Japanese, says the report mat the Japanese was an acQualnt- ance or the family is a mistake. Ae said the Jap had never called at the house. The first time the murder ei had approached Margaret was aDout a month before the murder when be handed her a note in the cannery in which was a five dollar Dill. She handed it back saying that she did not take money from anyone and tore the note up With out looking at it. She then told her mother and the two told her father about it.
 On Tuesday last she found a note in her coat pocket at the cannery and noticed the number 14, which was the laps seat number at the cannery. She also tore up this note without looking at it.
 Shortly afterwards the Jap said to the mother, You hear about me today?"
 The mother said, Does my girl speak to you?"
 He answered, No.
 Then she said, Then why do you bother her; why don't you let her alone? He did not say anything more to the mother, but turned to the girl and said, You fool me. You fool me-. The girl said, You leave me alone.
 The mother and daughter then told the father when they returned home. and he went to see the Jap who lived with other Japanese near the Adrianoff residence. The fath CT says he saw the Jap and said, Here I want to see you. but the Jap ran out of the house.
 The Japanese family where he stayed say that he wanted them to see the father and mother of the girl, according to what they told the father since the tragedy, but they say they not only refused but told the Jap he was crazy for the girl did not want anything to do with him and that he could not even support himself.
 MT. Adrianoff is now sorry that his daughter did not keep the last note and see what was in it, believ- ing that it may have given a hint of his murderous intent.
 It appears that the Jap fired six shots, four at the mother and two at the girl. The girl was some dis tance from the mother when he fir ed at her. The mother turned around and saw Margaret fall and caught the girl as the Jap sent an- other shot into her. Then the Jap fired on the mother. She still held the girl. The mother fell and the Jap then fired two more shots, and she crawled behind a tank and lay there.
 MT. Adrianoff is the son of former manager of the Russian government who at one time ruled Alaska at Sitka. Several islands in Alaska are named after the fam lily. MT. Adrianoff was born in

TRY TO PAY DEBTS
City Administration Wants q Clean
Slate at End Of Term.

|. Eve are going to try to leave a
kiean slate at the end of our present
administration, and / believe that we
will do it" Tax Commissioner Frank
Bushick stated Tuesday morning, fol-
lowing the retiring of two notes, ap-
proximately $51, 500, on Monday after
noon BY the city commission. These
notes left an Indebtedness of only
&245, 900, which represents large half
rof the $460, 900 inherited by the Tobin
administration at the beginning of its
bffice.
Eve have lived within our own
dbudget and have paid more than half
of our Indebtedness, by reducing our
budget, cutting down operating ex-
pense, and working with a shorter
force than the City Hall has had for
year." Mr.. Bushick stated. "The col.
lection of small personal property
taxes by collectors has been one OF
1.-The largest causes of our ability to
pay the $51 800 that was taken from
the deficit side of the ledger Monday. y
I Mr.. Bushick said that he is well
pleased with the system of personal
collection, as many people who have
automobiles and other personal prop
erty are thus being made to pay the
taxes that until recently were left un
paid. Taxes on small items of per
sonal property amount to a consider
ably large sum, Mr.. Bushick said
when the total is added. This money
that has been collected on small per
sonal effects has been large factor
in enabling the present administration
to decrease the 100000 deficit.
