 The Russian said the natives on the coast must depend upon ammunition and guns to provide themselves with the necessities of life, but that these had been taken away from the natives by officials who feared an uprising As a consequence of those orders the Indians were unprepared to go thru a long cold winter and since starva- tion came upon them they died like rats. The natives were in a terrible state and were finally compelled to kill their dogs and eat them. But this food soon gave out and the remaining natives began to eat their dead com rades, and in some instances their own flesh and blood.
 Many of the natives faced death calmly, taking to the dagger to end the misery and torture of themselves and loved ones. The knives were thrust into the hearts of women and children and afterward driven into the hearts of men. They died like braves, Conditions along the Sfber- ian coast were pitiable, he said.

the graduated pack tax law, it might do so lawfully, the Court held.
 The decision, copies of which have been received by the Juneau Empire, was delivered by Justice Holmes. It is in part as follows:
 "The petitioner fThe Pacific Amer ican Fisheries) offers various req sons to show that this tax is not what it purports to be but is an attempt to regulate fisheries, which, the petitioner believes, Congress has not given the Territory power to regulate The answer alleges that it was known that the revenue from these taxes would exceed the ap- propriation and needs of the Ter ritory, and from this and other things the conclusion is drawn that the taxes were levied with the in- tent of driving the defendant out of it's businss. But the premise could not be known, it only could be pro- phesied. If known the conclusion as to legislative intentwould not follow; and if the intent were en- tertained, is the only sense in which it rationally could be imput- ed, that is, to discourage canning the larger amounts, the Legislature

lawfully might act with that in tent Fisheries were not the direct object of attack, but canneries. It would require a strong case in any event to invalidate tax on things that the Legislature had power to regulate because of it's collateral reaction on something else. ' But here even as to fisheries the Leg islature is given power to tax. Any tax is a Encouragement and there fore a regulation so far as it goes, and the most plausible reconciliation of this power with the restrictions upon amending or modifying the laws in force it that the only pur- pose of the res strictions was to pre- vent the Territory from doing away with all protection, in short sighted rush for fish. At least we must take it to be clear that the unlimited power expressly given may be exercised with consideration of collateral advantages and dis advantages. Alaska Fish Salting and By-Products Co., vs. Smith, 255 U. s.

 ''It is much pressed that the tax discriminates against large canner- ies in favor of small ones-this es- pecially as contravening the Fifth Amndment and denying due process of law. Classification of taxes by the amount of the corpus taxed has been sustained in various connections heretofore. By way of specific an- swer it is pointed out by the At | torney General of Alaska that the
 size of the run of salmon cannot
 be foreseen; that a cannery. must
 be prepared to it's full capacity i;
 that there always will be an ir- reduci'ble minimum of expense to be borne whatever the size of the l pack; that therefore a small pack
 map mean loss and a larger. one a profit, and that on these considera-
 tions the law justly may attempt to proportion the tax to the prob.
 able gains. The inequalities of the
 tax are based upon intelligible
 grounds of policy and cannot be
 said to deny the petitioner it con-
 stitutional rights"

Confidence

In the matter of confidence-you
Know how big a part confidence
plays in success. The man who is
sure of himself, who knows ne can
win, has tremendous edge on the
chap who lacks confidence and Ii
afraid he can't make the grade.
And one of the basic factors in
confidence is muscular skill. Dur
ing the last few years we have been
told a good deal about the "inferi-
GRITTY complex" that SO frequently
keeps a man from getting the full
reward of his ability. That sense
of inferiority, of diffidence, frequent
ly has its beginning in our inability
to meet the other fellow on even
terms in the matter Of games and
muscular competition.
Now, if you are still one of the
awkward ones of the world-and to
a certain extent nearly every one Of
us is awkward, in one thing or an
other-there are two very comfort
ing reflections. The first is that
muscular skill isn't something that
was put in your cradle when You
were born. We acquire it, And the
second thing is. that most of us have
fallen so far short of developing our
full muscular capacity that it's n
simple thing to carry
1t further along.-Arthur H. Suther-
land, in Hearst's International Cos
mopolitan.

inheritance of Peanut

Popular reference to the peanut
have so generally taken a humorous
turn that few realize the importance
of this article in agriculture, industry
and dietary of the United States,
says r. L. Purdon in Commerce
Reports" The principal forms in
which peanuts are consumed in this
country are, in order of Importance:
Sailed, as peanut butter and in pea
nut candy.
There are two main types of pea
nuts grown in the United States, the
So called Virginias and Spanish. The
chief difference is one of size, the
Virginias being the larger. Normally
the Firginias bring a better price
than the Spanish for this reason,
though the latter run to independent
price levels which occasionally sur
pass the quotations for Virginias.
All peanuts are sold by the farmer
as taken from the field-that is,
with the shells on and without
grading.
North Carolina and Virginia are
the principal producers Of the Vir-
ginia type nut, while Georgia, Ala
bama, Florida and Texas lead in out
put of the Spanish or runner varie-
ties. The runner is larger than the
Spanish, but smaller than the Vir-
ginia type, and occasionally sells as
a substitute for the latter.
While domestic production, acreage,
yield per acre, total farm value and
farm prices have. decreased by about
so per cent since 1917, the quantity
of foreign peanuts imported in 1924
was nearly three times the averaxe
for the pre-war period of 1912-1914,
inclusive.
In determining trend of competi-
ton, mere comparison of total i'm
port and domestic production figures
does not get to the root of THE mat
ter. Chinese peanuts, which make up
over 80 per cent of our imports, are
almost all very large-sized and
selected nuts, the bulk comparing
with our Virginia Jumbos. running
about 80 to 32 nuts to the pound
and a good percentage being even
larger, or 2S to 80 to the pound.
North Carolina and Virginia pro-
