ALICE KING COLLINS.

The death of Mrs. H. G. Collins,
Saturday came as shock to the
many friends, unaware of the fact
that her illness was at all serious.
Mrs. Collins had been Ill for only a
short time, previous to that seemingly
in her usual state of health. She
passed away at the home Of her
youngest daughter, Mrs. Dolly Tjonls-
land, with whom she has made her
home for the past six years.
Alice King was born May 26, 1854,
In Patoka, Indiana. Here she grew
to young womanhood. In 1873 she
was married to William Henry Collins
To them nine children were born, two
of whom died in infancy.
In 1900 the family moved from In
diana to Kansas where they lived for
eight years, coming to Seattle in
1908. Six years later they moved to
vashon. Mr.. and Mrs. Collins lived
here almost continuously, although
visiting among their various children
for short periods Mr.. Collins passed
away in September, 1880. Since then
Mrs. Collins has continued to live with
Mrs. Tjomsland.
OF the old school that produced fine
mothers, Mrs. Collins was a quiet
Christian character, unassuming and
retiring, yet inspiring even the most
casual acquaintance with the beauty
of her life. She was a member of the
Methodist church for many years;
faithful in attendance. She will leave
vacant place not only in her i'm
mediate family circle but among the
many who came into only occasional
contact with her, and of whose regard
she was probably not aware.
She leaves, to sincerely mourn hel
departure seven children, Effie With

dell, Kingman, Kans.; 2. Braden Col

HOME LOAN BANKS MEASURE
MORE HOPEFUL OF PASSAGE

The action of the Senate Banking
and Currency Committee this week in
reporting favorably the measure to
create a system of Federal home loan
banks. for the discounting of mortgages
on dwellings, has stimulated hope held
by proponents of the plan for its en-
actment.
Permanent legislation which will
affect more people than any other re-
construction measure Is in sight as
the Senate proceeds towards action on
the home loan bank BILL" the United
States Building and Loan League de-
clareS in a statement broadcast ma
tionallv this week
The bill would create a system pro-
viding sound and lf-liouidating credit
for the homecoming families, which
include 2O00o,000 persons, the league
statement adds.
Home Loans at StandstiIl.
Loans on homes are practically at
a standstill today and have been at
various times in the past because of
the lack of a reserve system for long
time mortgage money, it was asserted
by Philip Lieber, Shreveport. La, vice
president of the Building and Loan
League.
Building and loan associations. the
first to sense the real tie-up in home
credit due to the lack of funds and
the immobility of those funds which
are at hand see the home loan bank
system as the only way to protect the
home owner from a recurrence of this
deplorable condition" he said
The bill embodying such a system
is soon to receive Senate attention We
must assure the man with a home, by
enactment of this measure, that he
will never again face the grave and
unsatisfed need for mortgage re-
financing which confronts him today,
or We will become a nation of tenants.

O'MALLEY LOPS
 OFF 78 TRAPS
 IN NEW 0RDE R
Fifty-three of Them Locat- ed in SEE. Alaska-Two
 Are Owned Locally

Seventy-eight fish trap sites in Alaskan waters were permanent ly closed by regulations of the United States Bureau of Fisheries issued recently, effective for the calendar year 1883, it was made known today by N. o. Hardy, War den, acting in charge of the local headquarters of the Bureau. Many of these, it is believed, were sites temporarily closed last year and on which the owners failed to pay their Territorial license taxes.
 Sometime ago, Commissioner Henry O,NIalley advised the own CTS if licenses for 1892 had not been paid on the temporary closed traps they would be closed per- manently. Among those on the new list are a number in that category.
 Fifty-three of the 78 are locat- ed in Southeastern Alaska waters, and more than 50 per cent of that number are in one district-North Prince of Wales Island; five in Icy Strait; six in the Western district; five in the Eastern dis trict; three in the South Prince of Wales Island district; and sev- en in the Southern, or Ketchikan, district
 Western and central Alaska dis tricts combined lost 25 traps. Two were in the Alaska Peninsula area two on Kodiak; IT in Cook Inlet and four in Prince William Sound.
 Pacific American Fisheries were the heaviest loser with 10. Naket Packing Corporation, Libby Mo- Neil & Libby and Booth Fisheries each lost four each, Peril Strait Packing Company lost three.
 Two local independents who lost a trap each were: Dr. L. P. Dawes and George Franklin The for mer's was located in Excursion h. let, and the other on Admiralty Island.
