PAPER LOSSES

While Alaska Pacific Salmon Corporations report for 1881 shows a loss of $438,761, only $148,072 was cash loss, the re- mainder being depreciation charge and loss on sale of cari- tai assets, according to the fir oncial statement issued by G. w Skinner, president. Cost of pro- ducing canned salmon had been reduced to minimum but the large surplus of canned salmon and forced liquidation made it impossible to avert losses. h. yentory at the year-end showed $1 ,787,O75, as cost or market; operating supplies $699,362; ac- counts and notes receivable, less reserves, $222,063. Current as- sets were $2,72O,255 against ST. 950,507 of current liabilities Skinner said that at current prices, canned salmon is the most economical food money can buy. The company's princi- pal brands of canned salmon are Icy Point and Peter Pan.

She flew into the air with ter
rifle speed. The grip on her
other hand broke. AS though
shot from a gun she catapulted
across the footlights and fell
into the orchestra pit.
There was a mighty scream
from the audience. A musician
leaped high in the air. On the
stage girls went tumbling head
over heels. The curtain came
down with a thud.
Keep the show going!" shout
ed O'Brien.
The orchestra leader tried to
get his men back to their in
Struments. The audience, now
on its feet, strained to look
down at the pitifully crumpled
Blonde. She was huddled in
a mass at the bottom of the
pit.
The little trap door used by
the musicians to enter the pit
opened quickly. Gentle hands
picked up the little body, pulled
it through the door and carried
it up on the stage. But before
they reached it the orchestra
was playing full blast. Another
set was working desperately on
the stage.

you're wrong about
him!" The whirling speed
was now so great that Blonde
could hardly talk. Lurline's
answer was another jab of her
fingernails. Blonde almost
cried out in pain. Blood was
oozing from the clinched hands
of the girls.
They were entering the final
round of the dance. The speed
was furious now. To maintain
their balance the dancers were
dependent upon the grips with
their partners hands. Faster,
still faster they went, their toes
barely touching the floor, the
legs crossing and re-croSSing
each other with lightning-like
rapidity.
Bitter Words
AS Blonde and Lurline were
about to face the audience in
their mad whirl Lurline snarled:
II hate you

me-"
Suddenly she pulled her hand
free. The ring had broken.
Blonde was on the end of the

of ASiatiC "tag"O with num-
Der of small children. The ef-
feet on the children was instan-
taneous when the Dyak father
broke up the game by taking
hold Of the playful animal and
placing it in an old shipping
box which we had converted
into cage by adding a barred
front
The children knew something
was wrong. although it took
them a few minutes to grasp
the full significance of what
was taking place. When they
realized that their little play
mate was about to be taken
from them they set up great
Wailing. This their father re-
garded as foolish sentimentality,
a fact which he emphasized by
brandishing a stick at them.
I wanted this orang, but I had
no desire to break up a happy
home; so I asked the Dyak if
he was quite sure he wanted to
sell. He was amazed at what I
said, obviously considering me
silly for paying any attention to
the children. He went on to re-
mind me that we had closed the
deal and that he didn't think it
fair of me to back out now. Re-
IeVed, I paid for the animal
and prepared to leave with it,
aided by natives with carrying
poles.
Again the children crowded
round. Their father, now he
had his money, had lost in
terest in me and gone about his
business. I distributed new
pennies, bright-colored beads
and jack knives among them,
with miraculous results. At once
they were joyful, gleefully show
ing each other their presents.
In fact, they forgot their orane.

off to show another group of
children their treasures and
failing, as we made our depart

the little animal as it stuck one
arm through the bars and
waved in an effort to get their
attention.

Amusing Baby Apes
The orang-utan often consti-
tuteS a mealticket for the ma
tives along the north and west
coasts of Borneo and up the
river settlements in the interior.
There is always a trader who
is willing to pay a good price
for one.
When the orangs make their
periodic raids on the DURAN
and jackfruit trees that are
an invariable feature of any
settlement in those parts, the
natives watch carefully for a
mother and child of the species.
The mother, in such situation
is the victim of a blow-gun
or a spear, and the youngster
is captured. If it is babe it
is placed under the care of one
of the nursing mothers of the
village. 1t is not an unusual
sight in these primitive dis
tricts to see a mother nursing
her own child on one breast
and an infant orang on the
other.
Orangs raised in a compound
from babyhood are very tame
and bring a good price. They
grow up with the children of
the village who enjoy the zest-
full participation of these ami
mails in their games.
Some years ago I turned up
at a Dyak village in quest of a
tame orang suitable for stage
work in the vaudeville theaters.
I had been tipped off about a
fine specimen that had been
raised from infancy with one
of the native families. I located

had not been misinformed. 1t
was a fine healthy young ami

old, measuring in height about
