Anglers Association Asks for Bass

John B. Miller, of Newark, secre-
tary of the Anglers Association, has
announced that application was rec
emily made for another consignment
of large mouth bass for Sunset Lake
and request made for an early ship
ment to get the fish planted before
extreme cold weather is due. Bass
planted two years ago have been seen
by some of the members and are ap-
parently above two pounds in weight.
Pike are also numerous, and have
been for years in the stream before
the lake was constructed. One was
seen this summer over two feet long
by president Widdoes. The govern
ment expects a report next year of
the condition and size of all fish plant
ed through their cooperation, and it
is desired that the members of the
club endeavor to secure, legally, one
or more bass in order that the secre-
tary may make a report, which is en-
couraging to the Fish Commissioners
at Washington as to how their efforts
in prOpagating fish through the gov.
enment hatcheries are giving result:
in different waters.

road being badly in need of repair for
the accommodations of the lighthouse
keeper who is practically isolated all
winter from the mainland because of

the lighthouse. The bids submitted
were as follows: Shallcross and Broth

WORLDS BEST
 MEMORY EXPERT
 COMING SEWARD
AMAZING PERFORMANCE WILL STARTLE SEWARD RESIDENTS
 At LIBERTY THEATER SOON
Is a Human Dictagraph
Phenomenal Indian Memory Expert of Yakima Trke On Tour
 of the Territory.

Interest centers Tn the announce ment made today by Herbert Johns ton, we'll known Alaskan and one of the original townsite locators of Knik, that Charles w. Hamley, one of the worlds greatest memory eX- perts, will demonstrate the use of the trained memory, using educa tional, entertaining and interesting subjects. MT. Hamley, who will ar rive in Seward on the steamer North western, Saturday, is pronounced as the miracle memoryman and human telegraph, who records all things he sees or hears He will give a demonstration at the Liberty Thea ter next Monday evening, and will possibly remain in Seward a week prior to his departure for the Inte- rOr.
 Mr. Hamley, who is at present a member of the faculty of the Univer sity of Southern California, is inter- nationally known for his interesting and unusual feats. He is North American Indian of the Yakima tribe, and was born and reared in Seattle where he resided until he entered the field of memory work. He has the distinction of being the only C.. during the world war, and his expe- riences in France are on intense in- terest to audiences.
 Dumng his stay at the front in France, MT. Hamley was used as an observer and inspected miles of track from a gasoline speeder and to prove his ability even further, he was sent by the colonel of his regi- ment to a lecture by John Kendrick Bangs, with instructions to memor- ize it and repeat it afterwards, which he did, MT. Bangs verifying it.
 Another interesting ffeat that at- tracted an unusual amount of atten- ton was when Mr. Hamley visited supply depot of an American head quarters, and in seven hours secured data that required trained corps of field clerks six days to itemize While en route north on the steam CT Yukon to Valdez, where he is at
 
 the present time, MT. Hamley enter tained in the social Aal,s and tests of his memory, made by the audience, appeared really uncanny, according to Seward arrivals on the vessel. During his few remarkes at the free lectures he states that memory is the basis of all mental capacity, and what all people know today is what can be remembered,

CARNATIONS USED AS BAIT
 20 RRATS IN LOS ANGELES

LOS ANGELES, Sept. l. (P-The fragrant garden variety of carnations used as bait, has proved far more irresistible than cheese to the rat population of the Hall of Records and Court House buildings here.
 Discovery was made recently by L. 0. Robinson, chief janitor of the two buildings, after several weeks of investigation, that rats have liking for carnations. Through the use of the flowers as bait in traps large numbers of the rodents, which grad ually were reducing hundreds of law and record books to a sad state of dila apidation. were exterminated.

SOME PROVERBS OF
AMERICAN INDIANS

The coward shoots with shut
eyes.
Small things talk loud to the In
dams eye.
When fox walks lame, the old
rabbit jumps.
A squaw's tongue runs faster
than the winds legs.
There is nothing SO eloquent as
a rattlesnake's tail.
The Indian scaIps his enemy; the
paleface skins his friends.
Before the paleface came there
was no poison in the Indians corn.
There will be hungry palefaces
so long as there is any Indian land
to swallow.
When a man prays one day, and
steals six, the Great Spirit tnunders
and the Evil One laughs.
A friendship made quickly is
made too quickly.
