MRS. ANNADALE
VISITS EDITH
AT HOSPITAL
Cupboard Girl Quick to Greet
Grandmother Who Cared
For Her as Baby

1t has been eight years since
Edith Riley, the " cupboard -
child, has seen her grand
mother, Mrs. Samuel Anna
dale, in whose care she was
until the court ordered her
turned over to her father and
stepmother, Harry and Elsie
Riley.
But yesterday, when Mrs. Anna
dale visited the hospital for the
first time, the child knew her in
stantly and holding her arms out
cried Mamma" the name by
which in her babyhood she called
her dead mothers mother.
Memory Proves Good
Mrs. Annadale is not strong
and her family had thought it in
advisable for her to see the
youngster until yesterday.
Hospital attaches found the
meeting between the unfortunate
child and the only mother she
had ever known curiously al
fecting.
Edith's memory for persons and
events figuring in her early lie
is unusually strong. At the court
the day following her rescue from
her alleged cupboard prison Sne
instantly recalled and called by
name her uncle, Malcolm Anna
dale. She recognizes her own
mothers sisters and members OF
the Arnadale household.
Model Child, Say Nurses
Her nurses at Gallinger Hos
pital Indignantly deny her STEP
mothers stories of the child's
''bad habits" She has displayed
none of them in the two weeks
she has been in their care. One
nurse said yesterday:
Edith is a model child
Mrs. Riley has claimed that
Edith was destructive but the
roomful of toys and other gifts
which have been showered upon
the child by a host Of unknown
friends do not bear out the
charge. Her dolls immaculate
costumes are still unrumpled and
her little bird and gold fishes
have known only the most loving
care from their little mistress.
Likes Other Children
But Edith will desert even the
most elaborate toy to play with
another child. And the baby
visitors at the hospital receive her
devoted attention. The nurses
say she often creeps away to the
crib of some tiny patient to sit
for hours watching the infant, oc'
casionally patting little hand or
caressing a diminutive foot.
A Christmas card showing the
scene in the manager at Bethle.
helm delighted her. Questioned
she said the Child in the moth
er's arms was Jesus" and that
he lived in heaven. Her grand
mother yesterday asked her whom
Jesus loved and she replied:
"Little children"
It was lesson taught by the
devoted grandmother when Edith
was less than five years old and
the darling Of the Annadale house

 Was in Feud
 As a young man Wright had par tfcipated in the famous Wright Hall feud in which a large number of men were killed Whether he ac- tually slew any of the Halls in helping fight his own relatives battles was always matter of conjecture. When the feud was raging the participants were too busy to talk, and Wright in later years never discussed it publicly.
 Tn fact, he would never say how many lives he took after he joined the forces of law and order. He regarded the slayings, however, as no black mark against his charac- ter. Officers of the law took their lives in their hands when they went into the mountains to get a man. The outcome usually depend- ed upon which has the quicker eye and hand. Wright would sometimes tell of individual experiences but with his dry, mountain humor, that never left him, he evaded a direct

PLANT HERE HAS GOOD
 YEAR IN 1930
Fish Receipts Exceed 1929 Carries Out Usual
 Financial Program

Despite unfavorable market con- ditions which resulted in abnormal ly low prices for both fresh and frozen fish last year, the Juneau Gold Storage Company handled a slightly larger tonnage in 1930 than in 1929, it was announced to- day by President Wallis s. George. The total quantity of fish handled by all departments for the 12 months ending December 31, was 4,809,820 pounds, just 30,000 pounds more than in 1929
 Considering all the circumstances, the company's year was highly sat- isfactory, MT. George said It met all of it's program requirements and added materially to its plant.
 The company retired $10,000 Of it's outstanding bonds and paid the annual interest on the residue of it's bonded debt, amounting to $4,- $50. In addition it constructed a new processing warehouse, two stor- ies high, TO by 125 feet. No inn provements or additions are at present contemplated. The outlook for the current year is not alto- gether favorable. The carry-over of frozen fish is unusually large and no immediate improvement in prices is in sight.
 MT. George will leave tonight for Seattle to discuss operations with firms buying through the local plant. This trip may take him East to confer with interests there on the advisability of being repre- sented here.
 Statement of Receipts
 The operations of the company, showing the varieties of fish and amounts of each handled, were an nounced as follows:
