Should Kill the Brutes

The brown CT grizzly bear of Ad- mlralty Island and other sections oL Alaska are under the protection or the sports of the States. Because of their activities it is unlawful tu xiii one of those bear or to have it's hide in possession.
 This summer was reported from Tyee more of the beasts in the i'm mediate vicinity of the cannery than was ever seen before. They were SC numerous that the women dared not go out picking berries; the children dared not wander any dis tance along the beach from the can nery So plentiful that most any time of the day the bear could be seen gamboling playfully along the beach; those who ventured up near by stream declared they saw almost as many salmon along the banks as they saw in the stream. One of the men in the cannery got up one early morning and killed two bear which were prowling near his cabin. Shortly after the killing repre- sentative of the Biological Survey seeing the hides proceeded to arrest the man. It matter ed not that the bear were a menace to the people and that they were out of their habitat proving around the cannery shacks;it mattered not that they might kill some one. Nay, the law had been transgressed and the dignity of the law must be upheld - for the benefit of Eastern sport hunt lers. However, after much pleading on the part of the man who killed the bear and the manager of the cannery, the Biological Survey re lpresentative agreed to shut his eyes
 to the violation but he warned Don't let it happen again"
 The only answer to this damfool
 law is to kill everyone of the darn ed grizzly pests that stick their within gunshot distance. And for
 good measure, about two dozen ot the Eastern sportsmen should be
 compelled to mooch along the beach
 at Tyee when the bear are feeding the hike to be without gun lest they
 be tempted to shoot their pets.

Rev. David Waggoner passed thru Petersburg late last week on the Princeton. He was taking to Metla. katla MT. and Mrs Wolf of Rake The transfer of MT. Wolf is much re- gretted by the Rake people as they declare that he has been one of the best principals in charge of that sta- tion. However, they rejoice with him in this transfer which in fact is a Tromotion as Metlakatla has the reputation of being the best station in the Alaska service.

There is q strong connection be- tween Al White, United States Mar shal, William H. Caswell, his chief deputy at Ketchikan and Sandy Levy, long reputed to be a leading nootlegger and other worse things, also of Ketchikan.
 When Levy was arrested and Il lied recently on a charge of being drunk and disorderly, guard Davis was an important witness as to the fact of drunkenness. He told spe cial officer Fred Handy that Levy vas ''crazy drunk" But when ne was on the witness stand, he denied the drunkenness and said that Lew was "C 'azy" and had no smell or liquor on him." a statement that was refuted by every other enforce ment officer called witness.
 This lange in Davis's testimony has been attributed to the special interest which chief deputy Casweli has in Levy, for on good authority we have on it that There was noth ing that Caswell hated to do more than arrest Levy"

Woman's Beauty Seen
as Great Influence

1t Is woman's business to be beau
tiful. Her outward beauty is the to-
ken and symbol Of all that makes life
worth living; and, If her inner self
should belle her exterior, she fills men
with cynicism, renders them fierce and
brutal and drives them to despair.
The beauty of woman is a tremen-
dously powerful influence, and, like
all great forces, 1t may serve base or
noble purposes. The mischief is that
this great influence is given to young
women at an age when they cannot
understand its power and gravity of
the responsibility that goes with it.
Woman in general will always ex-
pose as much Of herself as the taste
Of men will permit her to do. There
Is no harm In this. But beware lest
you make yourself a martyr In the
sacred cause of woman's freedom. :.
1mmodesty consists In going a little
beyond the custom. If it is customary
to expose three inches do not expose
six. If 1t Is customary to expose your
shoulder blades do not expose the
small Of your back.-From Character
and the Conduct Of Life" by Prof.
William McDougall.

In succeeding centuries it's strategic
