Wild Rice Harvest Is
Reaped Near Willow

Wild rice is one of the main wild
crops that has sustained life in this
northern country for generations
About 20 years ago Tofel Price, Albert
Stepan and E. B. Linsley of Willow
River, conceived the idea of planting
some in the nearby lakes to attract
the ducks and geese on their return
from the country farther north. They
placed seed in Fox and Third lakes
The Fox lake field has developed into
a large acreage and last year was
harvested by some Chippewa Indians
from Sawyer. This year Alex Shar-
low and his son, Henry, and grand
son, Dannie Hoffman, are harvesting
the crop and are successful in get
ting a good yield which will be
around 200 pounds.
They go over the field three times
to be sure to get all there is, then
the rice is dried and roasted and it
is ready for the market To harvest
wild rice one must have a license
This can be obtained from the De-
partment of Conservation. So far
this year there have been 1893 Ii
censes written, mostly for the north
ern part of the state The yield
ranges from $50 to 500 pounds and
more for each harvester and it sells
for about 35c a pound. 1t is very
delicious when served with a venison
or duck dinner and is cooked about
the same as white rice which is cul-
tivated in the southern states and
foreign countries.

Washing "Thief''
Brings Happiness

One morning recently a house
wife in Glencoe had two big sur
prises-the first when she missed
her washing and the second when
she found it. She had washed the
day before and as the clothes were
not entirely dry she had left them
out on the lines over night as she
had done many times in the past.
The washing was unusually large
and included part of a married
daughters laundry and also some
articles belonging to two house
guests. You can imagine how the
housewife felt when she looked
out the window and saw bare lines.
The amazing part of it was that
the clothespins were piled neatly
on a bench. After she had recov-
cred from the shock she went over
to the daughters to tell her the
sad news and there she received
her second surprise, for her wash
ing was neatly folded and await
ing her. Her daughter had taken
it in late in the evening thinking
it was going to rain.

SEARCH STILL
 CONTINUES FOR
 MISSING YOUTH
Reward of S1OO Posted by Boys Father 10
 Spur Hunf

Ed Tanaka, father of nine-year- old Ted Tanaka, Japanese lad miss ing from home since Wednesday af- ternoon, today offered $100 reward for the person giving any infor- nation leading to locating of the boy.
 Chief of Police Dan Ralston is- sued a plea today for public aid in finding the missing Tanaka young ster and asks especially that any one who saw the boy or talked to him at the ball game night before last, or has seen him since, report to Ralston as soon as possible.
 Ralston also asks that parents question youngsters who attended the ball game.
 It was believed possible the lad might have fallen into Gold Creek while chasing baseballs, and on that surmise, searching parties combed the creek and the adjacent tide flats, but without success.
 RalSton sent out five Searchers last night in two parties, combing the beaches beneath the docks and the nearby waters by skiff, but they too found no clues.
 Those in the party were Charles Ashby, Roy Barnett, Bill Watson, Robert Belio and A. Whatby
 Glacier Highway residents and the town of Douglas has also been combed without success.
 Last night, Ralston sent a car to the Boy Scout Camp at Eagle River and brought in John Tanaka, older brother of Ted, who is ques- tioning all friends of his missing brother
 Another possibility aired today, and which waterfront observers are asked to affirm, if possible, is that the missing boy may have boarded an outbound fishing boat wit h fishermen or campers who did not realize the boy should not be along.
 Again Ralston urged that anyone having any clue at all to the boy 5 whereabouts phone Central and ask for the Police Department.
 Edward LaFowlett, Alaska Juneau employee, who knows the youngster, told Chief of Police Ralston this af- ternoon that he had seen the Tan aka lad playing on the docks about ten o'clock Wednesday night, after the ball game.
 With minus tide tomorrow morn- ing, Ralston said systematic plan of dragging the harbor would be carried out, although number of craft were dragging today.
