ORDER Oi'1 ALASKA NATIVE
BROTHERHOOD PERFECTS
Word has been received in Ju
neau of the successful launching of
a branch of the .Native Alaska Bro
therhood, to be known as Wrangell
Camp. The organization at Wran
gell starts off with thirty five mem
bers and it was perfected into work
ing conditions last week.
The matter of bringing this great
Alaska Indian fraternity into being
fcas brought up "uring luo conven
tion of native Alaska Indians held
in Juneau some weeks ago. At
that time a charter roll for Juneau
Camp was made up consistingof 25
charter members. The organization
in Juneau has not, however, yet
been entirely perfected but this
will be done immediately.—Empire.

Chicago, Jan. 20—High school
giafaates, who do not know the
name of the president o» tiie U«it
ed States and who think Wilbur
Wright was a settlement worker,
wore revealed recently in the re
port of an examination for the pub
lic library training class. Some of
the answers to questions follow:
Capt. Uoald Amundsen is with
the Salvation army. Bismarck waa
in the American revolution. Aurora
borealis us the government that is
a bore. Garibaldi was a French
writer of the ninth century. Laf
ayette was an American general,
who later became president of ihe
United States. Moses was the chos
en father o' Jesus Christ, and was
born about 50 A. D. Wilbur Wright
and Dr. H. W. Wiley are connected
with settlement work.
San Francisco, Jan. 20—When
planting time comes next Spring
there is one crop for which the seeds
will be taken from a burglar and
a.'.'proof vault in Sau Francisco.
.ilie^e seeds represent more than
u quarter of a century of work by
ljUther liurbank. If lost or des
troyed they could not be duplicated,
at any rate not for yeare, and it
was to guard against this that tho
Luther Burbank Company recently
stored vem in the strong-rooms of
the Union Trust Company and the
Seaboard National Bank.
One seed is a new kind of flax,
fro in the oil of wliich artists will
m,-ike their paint. Another is a
ct-real known as quino to take the
pi i jo of wheat, barley or oats.
I'aintera have long complained, that
the oil which their paints are mix
ed with is not neutral because of
the variableness of the flaxseed
.Tom which it is made, and conse
quently that it often gives unexpect
ed and sometimes unsatisfactory
effects. Burbank began gathering
every kind of flax from all parte of
the world years ago, selected a cer
tain seed as his ideal and began
developing the plant to grow only
this type. Year after year the
seed was planted, and when it was
ripe only those were kept that
v\ere of ihe type dsired. Finally a
point has been reached where the
variety sums to have become fixed.
Bu bank declares that the oil it
produces is absolutely neutral.
The quino plant Is designed to
trlie the place of cereal foods made
from different grains. The seed re
sembles a small hominy and the
plant looks like a wild mustard. It
is claimed to have all the food val
>'et. '>f other grains, and is much
cheaper. Moreover, in making
'laoksd wheat, rolled oats or barley
. -li of the grain is wasted. The
eitiire seed of the new plant is util
!z -1. Originally it came from South
America, but its development and
ciimatizuiion to California soil and
wtuther conditions have taken years
of stuJy ai.d experiment. Of the
(lui.io seids of the type Burbank has
produced there is not a peck in the
world.
" iVe hap put the seeds in safe de
posit vaults", said President James
R. Edwards of the Luther Burbank
Company, "because if they are des
troyed they would netrer be repro
duced. There are no more like
them, and I doubt if Burbank would
live Ions enough to develop them
again. It will be several years be
fore we shall be able to raise a suf
ficient quantity of either seed to
lie placed upon the market."
