BISHOP ROWE TELLS
GOOD ONE ON SELF

Bishop Rowe, who visited in An chorage recently, told a good story on himself. The Bishop said while coming over the trail to Nome on one of his trips that he was forced tc put up for the night with his dog team at the cabin of couple of pros- pectors. After they had helped him put the dogs up for the night they adjourned to the cabin.
 One of the prospectors said, not knowing who he was, and also not knowing that the clergy wear theil collars buttoned at the back, Well partner, better join us with a little drink"
 Bishop Rowe thanked him and said, "No thank you, don't drink. !" So the two old-timers took a little liquid refreshment without him.
 Just before the beans were ready to serve, the bishop was asked again to have a little nip, with the same reply as previously.
 Where do you get that stuff,'' one of the prospectors said. "Why you're so drunk now you don't even know you have your collar on back end to.''-Anchorage Daily Times.

YUKON TY. HUNTER
 ATTACKED BY MOOSE

The rare case of an unmolested moose attacking man is reported from Quartz Creek, says the Dawsco News. Chris Oleson, an experienced hunter and trapper. man thorough ly at home in the woods, was hunt ing in the neighborhood of Steel fork at the home of Montana creek. He was looking for moose. but had seen none. Suddenly, he reports, he heard crashing of brush, and look ing in the direction, he saw bull moose charging through the greer timber straight for him. It was com ing on him like a railway train, and no more than twenty feet away. "It looked a bit terrifying" ac. knowledged Chris "I had only about a second to act. and instinct ively the gun flew to my shoulde, and I fired. I hit the moose in tht head, but still he came on. The next instant he was on top of me, anC down I went in lump. He pinned me to the ground with his antlers goring me through the thigh anf hand and paving at me fiercely. ! thought the jig was up. The bloot from the wound in his head wa: gushing all over me and he wa maddened with pain. I figured m, only chance was to lie still. Then ' saw him begin to reel. He swaye6 from side to side. I wriggled away and, as he came down with crash rolled out from under him.
 "It took me moment or so tt collect myself" went on Chris. My gun had been hurled from me by tn impact, and it was buried in tho snow. When found it I felt bet ter, and I turned to let MT Moos have another. Then, to my surprise I saw a second bull headed for m out of the timber However, go' him, and then finished my first op. ponent.
 'It is not often that moose will go for a man without being wound ed or trapped in a corner where h. has to fight, and the only explana. tion I can give for this fight is that the two bulls were challenging each other to battle and happened tc get in between them"

NEW Oil TOWN HAS

kanatak Suffers heavy Damage By Recent oIorm; len Buildings were washed Away; Blazer uoe. Ou Beach.

Claud Shea, special prohibition oi tlcer, returned on the starr today from a trip to the westward. Com. menting on the recent gas strike kanatak, MT. Shea said gas came ui in sufficient quantities to force tn water from the pipes at rate of on, thousand barrels a day. MT. Shet said that there was no oil yet, ant that conditions would not warran a stampede, as it would be three 0. four months and maybe more, before the drill again reaches the poin where the gas was struck. Cable cement and rope were used to plug the hole, and the flow of water was stopped. Gas and water were seep. ing in through the plugs when MT. Shea went to the well, and saw for himself the indications of gas Talking with several people in the vicinity of the well, they said thai indications for oil were of the best. The Standard Oil employees gave out no information and were very reti- cent as to indications. AS soon as the first oil bubble was sighted the men had the we'll under control. A big pipe with anipple ison hand, and any flow of oil or gas can be han dled.
 Earl Grammar declares that in- dications look like oil to him. MT Grammar ia a geologist of note.
 Speaking of his trip MT. Shea says that 75 gallons of whiskey and 1000 bottles of beer were seized The town was as dry as the prover- bial cork leg all the time the officer was in port. with no signs of drunk enness.
 A heavy storm with extreme high tide struck Kanatak Thanksgiving day doing considerable damage to buildings and otherwise destroying property. While the storm was not as bad as last year, it did consider.

able damage to buildings in Oll Iown, the water flooding the buiid lngs or Laurititzen, Louis 1ohnson's butcher shop, Modins home. and a number of homes and cabins. Many Of the latter floated away. The of rice of the Kanatak Lighterage Company was completely demolish- ed. Chas. Madsen's store had about one foot of water in it. The Blazer used as a lighter, was again washed ashore at a point near the Standard Oil Company buildings, taking her moorings, a 1O00-lb. anchor, ana everything with her. She now stands 20 feet above high tide. The Edith, a gasboat, was washed up in the middle of the street. The wind blew at an estimated velocity of 9U miles an hour, but did not come di- rectly in the harbor, coming from an easterly direction.
 On the second day of the storm. October 2S, the wind blew directly into the harbor, and everybody thought the town wouldg go. Strange ly enough the water did not get within IA inches as high as it did the day before. Every available team was used to move the stock ot goods and inhabitants into the hills. All doors and windows were nailed up and buildings barricaded. The Kanatak foot bridge was washed out and the new government bridge was covered with water and. would have washed out but for Mrs. Hjal- mar Evans, who secured help and removed a quantity of drift and logs from the bridge, preventing it from washing away.
 A total of about ten houses were moved by the flood. The Kanatak Lighterage Go. suffered the greatest damage, estimated at about $1,0O0 Local residents estimated the dam age done at about $5,000. During i the storm Nels Christianson nearly lost his life by a dory capsizing with him. He crawled up on the dory and was blown ashore.

GREENWOOD TOWN COUNCIL URGED
TO INSTALL new WATER SYSTEM
One OF Several Important Recommendations Made Last Night In
Report OF State Health And Welfare Commission

Although Greenwood is in appear
ance a clean and progressive town
in lower Delaware, yet it is without
a water system and consequently is
compelled to maintain health men,
aces that could be remedied at trif-
ling expense and little bother. These
facts are considered in the first san
itarv survey of Delaware towns, be-
ing undertaken by the State Health
and Welfare Commission as a part OF
the health program for Delaware.
How the health of Greenwood
could be improved through the in
stallation of water system and also
how fire insurance premiums would
be reduced so as to counter-balance
the expense of such a water system
is explained by R. G. Beckett, sani-
tarv engineer for Delaware follow
ing a survey he made two weeks ago.
Mr.. Beckett has prepared report
which reached the members Of
Greenwood city council last week
and in which he went into exhaus-
tive details of the needs for a muni-
cipal water system. In connection
with the water system Mr.. Beckett
mentions certain nuisance maintain
ed by residents. According to this re-
port there are 1914 homes where
health menaces are maintained.
After explaining how he came to
engage upon the sanitary survey
work, and that it was to help the
citizens obtain a water plant suit
able for the needs without excessive
expense, Mr.. Beckett says:
During the 1928 legislature, the
town of Greenwood was empowered
to float a bond issue for water sup
ply improvements to a sum not eX-
ceeding $4,000. Previous to this
survey had been made by consulting
engineers looking to the design of
complete water system including
tank, pumps, power units, elevated
tanks and distribution lines with an
estimated cost of $4,000. Since that
time the question of water supply
for the people has remained dor
mant.
"The lack of an adequate public
water supply means inadequate fire
protection. This in turn means that
excessive rates are being paid for
fire insurance. This holds true even
though the town has purchased a
fire engine to enable the Cart
Branch Creek water to be used for
extinguishing fires.
"The second indictment against
the lack of an adequate water sys-
TEN means that day in and day out,
the housewife must pump and han
die all the water for household uses.
And this in the day of automobiles.
The lack of water cOnvenietly secur-
ed means that conditions cannot be
as sanitary nor the use of plenty OF
water for bodily habits be sufficient
ly encouraged. The lack of a central
water supply detracts considerably
from the inducements offered manu-
featuring plants to locate in such a
town. It detracts considerably from
the desirability of town where the
retired farmer is considering leav-
ing the old homestead and moving
Milford chronicle., 1924-10-24

After having had the best crop OF
strawberries in many years, with the
heaviest grape crop, a peach crop
three times in excess of last year
and more cucumbers and watermel-
ons than for many seasons, the tar-
mers of Delaware who planted sweet
potatoes this year are preparing 10
reap the most satisfactory prices eV-
er obtained in this state.
With the national crop 22,OOO,OOO
bushels short this fall, Delaware
sweet potato farmers will be in po-
sition of getting very fancy prices
for the tubers. Last fall they got 50
to 35 cents a five-eighths basket for
sweets. This fall they are, now oD-
tanning 80 to IS cents a basket with
the likelihood that the figure VIII go
much higher.
Big buyers from wholesale houses
who use sweet potatoes extensively
have come to Delaware and nave
tried to buy up a farmers crop elth-
er marketed or as it stood in the
field. But the Delaware farmer is not
bargaining that way just now. He Is
waiting for what will be offered
few months hence.
According to W. I. Derickson,
chief of the Bureau of Markets OF
the State Board Of Agriculture,
whose efforts to market fruits and
vegetables for Delaware farmers has
been so successful in the past two
wears. the big crop of Delaware
sweets this fall is due to the atten-
tion paid to the crop by the growers.
First the farmers bought only select
ed seed. Then he used nothing but
guaranteed and tested fertilizer. He

SWEET POTATOES GOLD Mine" FOR
DELAWARE FARMERS THIS YEAR
Larger Crop With Higher Prices Marks Perfect End To An Almost
Perfect Season On All Produce And Fruit

I exercised unusual care during the
cultivation period and now with the
harvesting time here, he is using
common sense in storing and pack
ing sweet potatoes. These four ele-
ments are going to bring to Della
ware farmers financial success in
the sweet potato crop.
In speaking of other crops Mr..
DericksOn said:
"The Delaware grape crop which
has just ended has been fairly sue
cessful, both from the financial and
production standpoint. Last year the
total rail movement from Delaware
was IS cars and the price range on
the 12-quart basket was from 55 to
65 cents. This year the total of 105
carloads have been moved by rail in
addition to 30,743 baskets or approx
imately 80 carloads that went for
ward by truck. The price this year
has ranged from 10 to 85 cents per
basket.
"The total carload shipments of
peaches from Delaware for 1928
amounted to 243 cars and this year
the total rail movement was approx
imately $50 cars in addition to S1,987
baskets that were moved by truck.
"The carload shipments of cucum-
bers last year amounted to 215 cars
and the movement this year is 233
cars in addition to the truck mOve-
ment which was quite large, but
which is not available at this time.
"The carload movement for water
melons in 1928 was 250 cars. The
total carload movement this year is
257 cars in addition to approximate
ly 40 carloads that were moved by
truck"
