ALASKAN TALE "
 '. IS INTERESTING
The Story Of. the Mighty Eater of Etah

Washington, D. C., Sept. 90 This Is the tale Of Akkomidingwa, Old Man of the North. once a mighty hunter, and, now a mighty eater and patriarch of Etah, as told by May nard Owen Williams, of the Mac Milan Arctic Expedition, and for warded by "the machine that talks through the air" as the Eskimos call 1t, to the National Geographic Socie- ty at Washington.
 The amateur radio operator who relayed the message was A. W. Everest, of station 1 ARE, at Pitts fiel, Massachusetts.
 Although 1t is known as the most northerly settlement In the world, Etah's population Is unstable" the message says.
 "Tupik and igloo, summer tent and winter rock house, are not al- ways in the same location. The Es- kimo, still a hunter, moves his dwelling to sea or hill according to whether he is pursuing the savage walrus or searching his stone or metal traps for blue fox or other game. Summer or winter there are likely to be Eskimo settlements al Anoritok and other places farther , north.
 "The dean of Etah society, by liV- ing the year round in a rock igloc at the inner break of the Etat Harbor, Boom enables Etaf to- maintain its reputation. Wher there was work to be done in as sembling the planes, this old Eskimo chose for himself a convenient view point and restricted his heavy labol to overseeing the job of pairing new black plaster whose presence was proclaimed only by his peculiar stoop,
 "Akkomidingwa came to be knoTr as old-Crick- -In-The-Back. He | father of the tribes best hunter Kookapingwa, The old man ha staked out for himself B sitting-ou job and taken into his home as part ner and helpmate 3 seventeen-yeaf  old girl whose industry Is as unno ticeable as his own, ,.

 Interior uninhabited
 Tahiti is of volcanic origin and might be described as a pile of green mountains, The highest peaks tower 7,so0 feet above the sea and are smothered In blanket of rank tropical vegetation that sweeps to the topmost pinnacle, Even knife like rock ridges are covered with trees and shrubs that stand out against the skyline like bristling hedges.
 Tahiti Is made up of two loops like a figure g. one smaller than the other connected by a narrow neck. The larger unit h about IS miles across and the two, length wise, extend for 30 miles. The for est-covered, mountainous interior Is almost uninhabited, the population being confined to the relatively level strip along the coast. In this strip are the vanilla, coconut, and sugar plantations of the foreigners, as well as the villages of the natives.
 "There is little to urge a Tahitian to work. Fish may be caught on the coral reefs for the spearing, and bresdfruit and fei, a species of banana, can be gathered as needed in the mountains, With the advent of Western methods and an influx of Chinese these easy-going island CTS have suffered from a competi- ton they do not understand and their numbers have grown lees.
 Good Food Follows the Tricolor
 "Papeete may be far from civi. lization' from the viewpoint of the stay-at- home. but the palate of tho

"The most ambitious sightseeing trip in Tahiti Is circuit of the island by horse-drawn vehicle, along the coastal strip. This entails the fording of many streams which flow out of the mountains of the interior, Or one may push up one of the many valleys over trails that skirt swift streams and plunge through tunnels of Yerdure to mountain top. If one climbs for the view, however, the time must be well chosen, for clouds shroud the mountain summits a large part of the time. The most novel sight-see- ing trip is made In a small boat to the coral reefs where, through Wa ter crystal clear, one may look down

And If he wishes native food he may fare well on coconut-fed pig roasted whole, fish with coconut sauce, shrimp, baked banana, and baked bread fruit, the latter with a texture like very fine cheese and an indescrba- ble, mildly pleasant flavor. For des- sert he will have oranges, pineap- pies and various tropical fruits.

Water Rates Vary
In Badger Cities
Milwaukee Has Lowest Charge of
Any Municipality in Wisconsin
With Average Charge Here.

There are as many different rates
for water as there are different cities
in this state, according to a state
ment which comes out of Madison.
Superintendent L. A. Smith, of the
Madison water department, says that
the residents of that city are getting
cheap water, in fact the Madison rate
per 5000 cubic feet of water being
lower than that in all of the state
cities with the exception of three.
1.-THE annual water bill for resi-
dence using 5000 cubic feet is $7.75,"
said Mr.. Smith "There are only three
cities in the state above 10000 in pop
ulation which have lower rates. In
Milwaukee the same amount of water
would cost $3.50; in West Allis $500
and in Eau Claire SITS. In the first
two cases Lake Michigan water is
furnished, and in the case of Eau
Claire spring water is available. On
the other hand the same amount of
water in Kenosha would cost 5000,
in Stevens Point $500, in Fond du
Lac $500 and in Ashland s21.00. Of
the twenty-three cities in Wisconsin
nineteen have higher rates. The aver
age rate is S11.51 and the Madison
rate is about two-thirds of this
amount. Five thousand cubic feet of
water weigh 1928 tons SO the Madi-
son water department furnishes water
under pressure in the individual
homes for less than cents per ton.
