sALvACED FURs 0F THE
 SCHOONER BAYCH|MO
 VALUED AT s400,00O

The Arctic furs Salvaged the other day by a member of the Baychimo's crew and three Eskimos from the 5celocked ship before it finally was crushed in the ice are valued at about $400,000 according to average figures. The entire cargo of Is bales of furs was valued at about $600,000 and four of these bales were unsalvaged.
 Passengers and members of the crew of the Bychimo were rescued rom the ice-imprisoned ship by alrplanes and landed in Nome. Twenty-two of them came to Seat tie on the Alaska Steamship Com pany's liner Victoria and the steam ship Arthur J. Baldwin of the Arc tic Transport Company. Three sea- men from the Baychino, George wright, Duncan Robertson and Ce- oil R. Duffield, arrived in Seattle a few days later on the United States Coast Guard cutter Northland. The alrplane carrying them was forced down at Deering and they arrived III Nome the day after the Victoria sailed for Seattle.
 The Baychin1o was a victim of the worst season in the Far North III 30 years. She went to Copper mine, far to the eastward in the Arctic. Continuous northerly and westerly winds brought in huge quantities of ice and she was caught in the floes which soon formed a solid barrier.
 Other units of the Arctic fleet, the mdtorship Patterson of San Francisco, the power schooner Trader of Nome, the sailing schoon- er C. s. Holmes of Seattle and the Coast Guard cutter Northland. suc- ceeded in escaping the letters of the Arctic.
 The Baychimos officers were: Captain s. Cornwall, Second Mate $. Summers, Third Mate H. Right ly, Chief Engineer T. Bolton and Third Engineer T. Murchie, all of Vancouver, B. C., who are living in 8 shack on the beach.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
PROUD HILL

Once upon time there was a
green hill in the country and it was
very proud of itself. The country
was lovely, with green trees and
running brooks which raced over
the white stones singing q song Of
joy. In the blue sky were white
clouds and the wind blew the trees
on top Of the proud hill.
II am wonderful" said the proud
hill, talking to itself. II hold my
head so high that every one who
comes to the country can see me.
The trees growing on top of my
head are like plumes of feathers in
the helmet of a king. oh, I am
wonderful"
That's the way the hill used TO
talk all the while and it grew more
and more proud each day. Uncle
Wiggily would hop through the val
ley at the bottom of the hill. The
rabbit gentleman would hop along
the brook that ran at the foot of
the hill.

1T IS 'SUMPIN'
w. G. COSTELLO
Manager

One branch of the United States gov
ernment, as presented by Secretary of
the Interior Wilbur, yesterday signed a
contract for SAC, 100000, for construc-
tion of Boulder canyon dam.
In another department of the govern
ment, the supreme court, decision is
awaited on Arizona's suit to halt con-
struction of the dam.
1t was thought that the courts verdict
might be made known yesterday, but the
supreme court rightly takes it own time
about such matters and its business cam
not be hurried.
While nobody can forecast the decis-
ion of the court, it is not likely that it
will be in favor Of Arizona and against
the government. Common sense die
tates that the government would not go
ahead as it has done with the dam work,
if it were reasonable to believe that Ari-
zona's suit might succeed.
Every legal step in connection with
the whole project has been carefully
weighed by the governments attorneys
and apparently those III charge of the
dam contract have full faith in the COR
rectness of their work
In Imperial Valley there is some ap-
prehension felt by few, that the Ari-
zona suit may hold up construction of
the dam. Each phase of the long drawn
out battle thus far has been adverse to
those who opposed the dam, those who
believed it could not be built and other
objectors of one class or another. In the
light of past events there need be little
concern about the Arizona suit.
incidentally it was only yesterday
that we were wondering if the Swing
Johnson bill could pass. Now actual
construction of the dam itself can be-

The college entrants must write
500 words. but the test has been
cut in half for the high school
students, so that they have only
$50 words to write. Miss Damron,
who is giving the test, feels that il
the pupil cannot pass such an ex-
animation now when he is fresh on
the construction of a composition,
he would stand very little chance
on the real thing. However, she
expects most of them to pass it.
In senior English, which is large
ly a study of English literature the

novel Of the Nineteenth century.

the author is typical of his period

animals to come up. But the Fox,
speaking for the others, asked:
Does Uncle Wiggily come to see
you?"
NO" shouted the proud hill, "he
says l am too tall for him.
Then you are too tall for us, -
said the Fox. 1--WE must be near
Uncle Wiggily. Some day we may
catch him, though we never have
yet"
"Oh, very we'll" doomed the hill,
more proud than ever Suit your
self. Some day Uncle W!ggily will
be glad TO come and sec me-
Time went on and the proud hill
stood in the valley above the MUIR
muring brook. But neither Uncle
Wiggily nor any of the animals paid
the hill visit. Then, one day, there
came terrible storm of wind and
rain. The rain softened the dirt on
top of the proud hill and the wind
blew on the trees until they slipped
and slid and the whole top of the
hill came off and fell into the val
ley. In the morning, after the
storm, the animal people looked up
and saw the hill which was no long
er tall. Nor was it proud. 1t had
no tree tops left. 1t was like a man
with bald head, except that a
fringe of grass grew around the edge
of the hill.
"Hal Ha! What a silly looking
hill," grunted Mr. Twistytail.
But Uncle Wiggily was sorry
Poor hill," said the rabbit. Nov
that it is no longer tall can easily
hop up it and play in the grass.
And this Uncle Wiggily did.
"Oh, am so glad to see you!'
whispered the hill, no longer proud.
so gladl Will you come to see me
every day, Uncle Wiggily?"
Every day." laughed the rabbit
gentleman. Which he did, having
adventures in the grass. And before
summer was over the whole top OF
the hill was covered, not with tall,
proud trees, but with low and kind

children played with Mr.. Longears

FAIRNESS FOR NAVY

San Diegos most recent major crime
is of such a nature as to make all who
read it hope that the fiend responsible
for it will be quickly brought to justice.
Following closely upon the Brooks
tragedy, it has given San Diego an un-
savory lot of publicity throughout the
nation.
One detail connected with the crime
reports that the moose found about the
unfortunate young woman gave evidence
that it had been tied by someone well
acquainted with modifying, possibly a
sailor.
There are thousands of Uncle Sans
sailors in San Diego at this time. The
great majority of them are fine young
fellows, full of life and bit of mischief,
perhaps, but in the main they are up
right young men, schooled to stern dis
cipline
These sailors should not be subjected
to suspicion and embarrassment because
of the facts in the Teuber case. They
deserve the full confidence of citizens
until something definite has been proved.
If it should develop that anyone con-
nected with the navy has been guilty OF
this crime, it does not follow that all
navy men should be condemned There
are black sheep in every flock, and the
percentage in the navy is no higher,
probably not as high, as in other walks
of life.
AS yet there is no proof that any
service man is responsible for the crime.
Until such proof has been made, the sail
ors. soldiers and marines should not be
subjected to any more suspicion than
those who are not in the service.

for this their third victory.

gentleman would say. Il am SO
happy that I live in the country"
Look at mel" the proud hill
would call, or SO it seemed to talk
when the wind blew through the
trees on its top. II am above every
thing else in this country I am
high upi Every one must look at
me, Come up here, Uncle Wiggily,
and sit on my top beneath the
treesp
But the rabbit gentleman shook
his head.
Thank YOU" he said, but 1 am
afraid you are too high and proud
for me. l am only an old rabbit
gentleman. 1 wouldn't mind getting
on top of a little hill with grass
growing on it. But high hill, with
trees on top-no, you are too proud
for mel"
Then the rabbit would hop along
the brook or through the valley,
nibbling clover and grass and he
was happy.
But the tall hill, with trees on its
top, was not happy though it was
very proud. For none of the ami
NAL folk would climb up to visit it
and talk. The hill invited Mr..
TWistytail. the fat pig gentleman,
to come up and have talk.
"You hold your head too high!"
grunted the pig. you are too
proud for me. I will stay in the
valley with Uncle Wiggily"

higher than before. You should
also be proud to visit me. Well, If
Uncle Wiggily won't come and Mr..
Twistytail won't come, ! will ask
the birds. They will perch in my
trees"
Some of the birds perched in the
trees on the proud hill, but the wind
blew so strong and the hill talked 50
much. even after dark, about how
wonderful it was, that the birds
couldn't sleep. So they made their
nests down in the valley beside the
brook.
"Well, if Uncle Wiggily and his
friends won't come to see me-" said
the proud hill, II will invite the Fox,
