To live in comfort, yet within
our means, Is the object Of all
Of us and when the size Of our
family demands larger quarters,
that is generally when our prob
lem becomes greater. In my
travels throughout the city in
search Of livahle places that
thought has been most often in
my mind and / have o number
reasonably priced large apart
ments in my files which win
help you overcome that obstacle.
17OO BLOCK OF
COLUMBIA ROAD:
In an exclusive apartment
building Of the older type where
you always are sure Of spacious
rooms and high ceilings I 10
Gated a very nice apartment Of
three rooms, kitchen and bath.
Six big windows through which
poured cheerful sunlight makes
this apartment very bright and
airy. Entering into a reception
hall I noticed the ventilation
door which would be q great
help in warm weather. AS in
most apartments Of the better
type, there was q service en-
trance which makes it possible
for groceries, and so forth, to
be delivered without coming
through the main part Of the
apartment. Lovely spacious
rooms nicely decorated, electric
refrigeration, as well as switch
board services makes this build
ing very hvable. I recommend
your inspection.
600 BLOCK OF PARK ROAD:
Near Park view school in a
lovely residential section I dis
covered q small apartment
building with several well ar
ranged apartments that are
available at this time. One unit
Of two rooms, kitchen and bath
was particularly nice as the
kitchen was more spacious than
is usual in apartments Of this
size. The rental was $42.5O and
the smaller unit of one room,
kitchen and bath can be rented
at $500. With the electric re-
frigeration on the house cur
rent makes these rentals very
low.

JAPANESE OYSTERS GIVEN A TRIAL IN ALASKAN WATERS.

Feeling very optimistic that Jap anese oysters could be raised or grown in Alaskan waters, P. F. Har- ey has harvested thirty quarts and expects to harvest one hundred qu- arts in all which will be sold locally this fall.
 Three years ago MT. Harley ship ped in about 25 boxes of Japanese oyster spawn direct from Japan which he planted near his home in tn South end of Wrangell Narrows, choosing the spot where the water was shallow enough to be a higher temperature than water flowing m deep parts in the Narrows and bays. He believes that oysters could be successfully raised in Alaska but the growth is slow and many ob stacles make it almost impossible to raise them profitably.
 Last winter during the cold weather and freezing oI water in the Narrows much of the oyster clusters were removed in tbe ice and floated away from the oyster beds. This summer with the great amount of warm weather the oysters that re- mained have grown very rapidly making it possible to commence harvesting this fall.-Alaska Fishing News.

Fifty Famous
FrOntiersmen

By
ELMO o WATSON

THE early fur traders were al
4 most without exception a class
OF brave men, equaled In their dar-
Ing only by their resourcefulness.
Such a man certainly was Louis
Chappleu, a French-C Canadian voy-
aseur who shortly after the Ameri-
can Revolution was agent for the
Brltlsh-Amerlcan Fur company In
charge OF a trading post on the
Menominee river where now stands
the city of Marinette, Wis.
So long as he was dealing with
the Menominee Indians, Chappieu
had little to worry about, for they
were always friendly.
But there came a day when a
party of Chippewas who ranged be-
tween the Menominee river and
Lake Superior, arrived at the fort,
and this day Chappieu happened to
be alone. Before he was aware of
their identity the ChIppewas were
Inside the stockade and had filed
into the warehouse where he was
busily engaged at the time. From
the black looks which they rave
him, he knew the Chippewas were
In an ugly mood.
Soon the Indians became abusive
and crowded around him with
cooked rifles and tomahawks and
knives drawn ready for use. The
trader realized that they were plan
ming to kill him and loot the post
so he tried to placate them as best
he could. But the more he talked,
the more abusive they became and
he knew that the first move he
made as though to resist them
would provoke an attack.
Hopelessly outnumbered and with
no help near, Chappieu's situation
seemed desperate. But he was of
the breed of men who do not de-
spalr easily. Suddenly his eye,

an open barrel of gunpowder in the
center of the room. Quick as q
flash he had drawn a pistol. but in
stead of firing at one of the Indians
he stepped V and pointed the pls-
tol down into the barrel Of powder.
Then he faced the Chippewas and
told them that he would give them
just two minutes to get outside the
stockade. If they did not. he would
fire and they would all die together
when he pulled the trigger Of the
pistol.
For a moment the Indians hesi-
tated. Then to their ears came the
ominous click of the pistol being
cooked. One look at Chappieu's de-
termlned face told them what TO ex-
pect. They departed-hastlly. The

Old Bill Williams, Ex-
Preacher and Lone Trappel

u 6AAG AOHS Ak0pPSK
a TOWN In Arizona bears his
N name and thousands of tour
lists know 1t as the place where they
leave the main line of the railroad
for the branch line which goes up
to the Grand Canyon.
Nearby is Bill Williams mountain,
a 9,000-foot peak. 1t also perpetu-
ates the fame of one of the most
picturesque figures in Old West his
tory.
"Old Bill" Williams was an &C.
centric character who is said to
have been a circuit-ridlng preacher
black In the states" before he took
to the plains and mountains of the
West as a lone trapper. This Is the
pen picture of him that one histo-
rian has left us: "A tall, stopped
mar of Missouri fever-and-ague
type; his thin, leathery face; his
nut-cracker jaws; his punch chin
and nose; his small, sharp, twin
Killing eyes; his querulous voice;
slovenly habits; elk-hide suit, black
with campfire smoke and slick with
grease; his piebald, humpnosed In
dian pony; were famillas to trap
pers, traders and Indians from the
Three Forks to the ella and from
the states to California"
Not an impressive figure, to be
sure, but there wasn't a frontiers
man of his period more cunning In
outwittlng and eludlng hostile In
dams or more redoubtable In fight
ing them when %cornered, nor a scout
and guide more familiar with re-
mote parts Of the Rocky mountains
than he. SO 1t Is unbeliev-
able that he should have made such
a failure as guide for Fremont's ex-
petition around the head of the San
Luis valley Of Colorado In 1S4S, a
failure nearly fatal to them all.
The only possible explanation for
"Old Bits" apparent unfamiliarity
with n of his old stamping
grounds is that he was old, infirm
and half-blind from his many hard
ships of nearly forty years on blaz-
ing deserts and In snow-flled noun
tains. After the rescue of the party,
the old scout, feeling keenly the dis
grace of his failure, fed once more
to the solitudes of the mountains.
And soon afterwards the Indians
"got" him-not in honest, open war
fare but by treachery. In the spring
of 1S49 his body was found sitting
against a tree In a secret recess of
his favorite haunt, the Middle Park
country of Colorado. There was q
wound in his breast from a bullet
fired by Indians he had considered
his friends, the Utes. Their excuse
was that he had betrayed their
camp to hostile Arapahoes and the
council decreed that he must die.
They had exchanged rifles with him
and as he sat in camp, unconscious
of danger, n Of the Utes had shot
him.
