LEATHER
Aberdeen, Nov. 6.—Experiments
recently made may result iu the
bringing to light of whale leather
suitable for making of high grade
gloves for ladies and the uppers
for womeu's shoes. The leather
Trom the whale comes from the
skin which covers the whale's stom
ach and intestines. At the re
quest of local parties several New
firms have experimntd with the
skin and found that it makes fine,
pliable white leather. The suc
cess of whale skin leather will

WOULD CUT CHURCH
OUT OF MARRIAGE
Cincinnati, Nov. 6.—Need for ab
solute separation of church and
state in tti« marriage ceremony was
strongly urged by the Rev. R. T.
H^usbaw of Rye, N. Y., iu a paper
applauded by many membero or
the Episcopal church congress, in
session her®.
"It is the office of the church
to blesa the marriage; that of the
state to legalize it. But only the
man and woman make the marriage
and the only sacrament is theirs,"
declared the speaker.
ODD-PEN XV PRICES OX FOOD
Washington, Nov. 7.—In the
Dresent movement for reasonable
profits on staple foods the retail
Itrocer will find many opportunities
for readjusting bis prices on the
odd-penny basis. Sales of groceries
have been hampered for years by
the so-called round prices; that is
prices in even nlckles aud dimes.
Odd-penny prices have been used
to build up the sales of department
s'ores and mail-order houses and
are just as effective for the small
retail stores.
An interesting adaptation of the
odd-penny price is being made by
a cigar corporation to meet increas
ed revenue taxes on cigars, cigar
ettes. and tobacco. Articles which
were formerly sold for 5 and 10
cents are priced variously at C, 7,
8. 10, 12, and 14 cts. to maintain
both the standard quality and size
of package.
PAYS PARE OF BOY
HID UNDER SEAT
San Francisco, Nov. 7.—A check
$2.40 was received by the Southern
Pacific company here recently from
a reoentant traveler, who said that
six years ago he concealed a boy
under a seat in a railway coach. In
his Utter the correspondent said:
"The Bibel says 'Ovve no man any
thinp.' I bave always felt that I
owotf the Southern Pacific compnay
for that eighty-mile trip which my
boy took concealed under the seat."
Conductors havo been mstducted
to keep closer watch under seat

THIS SENTRY WAS STRICT
LY business
An officer was passing a sentry
at Camp Lewis a few days ago. The
sentry cried: "Halt!"
The officer halted and waited for
the usjal, "Advance and be re
cognized," or some similar com
mand. None came.
Walking toward the penrty he ad
dressed him, asking him why he
didn't inquire into his business and
let D im continue.
"I halt three times, and then I
fire." replied the sentry.
The man had received instruc
tions to fire if the person stop
ped did not halt after the third
call and evidently thought this
was all there was to the sentry's
duties. He jvaa speedily "«ut

INTERVIEW
! TELLS OF
FARMING
The Alaska and Northwest Min
ing Journal for October contains an
Interview witjj Charley Anway, of
Hiiiuea, regarding farming iu the
Chilkat valley. Mr. Anway com
ments largely upon, the success of
his berry crop at Haines and eaye:
"One of the most important ele
ments in the success of the berry
crop at Haines is the deep snow
fall which protects the plants from
freezing and keeps the ground
warm."
The writer of the article, John
11. Marshall, algo had an interview
With Mrs. H. D. Clark, of Skag
way. who commented upon the na
ture of conditions here and said
tt-ey were substantially the same
as those at Haines.
Oh Labor Day Mr. Marshall visit
ed Mrs. H. Pullen's ranch at Dyea
and says of it:
"Mrs. Pullen has thirty head of
stock on the place, and has rais
ed a large oat and potato crop this
season. The potatoes and an abund*
aut supply of fine butter, go to
sutjply the bountiful table tit the
Pullen House, while the oats are
used to feed the cattle during the
winter. Mr. Clark told me that in
the Skagway Valley he had raised
hay which yielded over four tons of
cured hay to the acre.
"So far aa i haye been able to
learn, there is but one marked dif
ference between conditions at Skag
way and Dyea and at Haines, 15
miles away, and that is that straw
berries in the former places are
much more difficult to raise be
cause of lack of protection from
snowfall. In all other respects the
characteristics of these sections
are very similar."
SEND MOKE BREAD
BEFORE MORE CANNON,
JS CRY FROM GREECE
Athens, Nov. 7.—Bad food and
the lack of all food among the poor
becaug.e of European war conditions,
are set down «s one of the mala
causes of great mortality and sick
ness, in the official health re
port of Athens, which says:
"During July there has been a
very great increase of sickness, due
certainly to the bad food of the
population, to the detestable qual.
ity o' the foodstuffs, and to the
complete want of ^ome of the
ch'ef articles of alimentation." The
death list is given at 510, or
abou. 17 a day.
Based on this report, the Mess
ager of Athens makes a plea to the
entente powers for "more bread
before more cannon." "Let us hare
bread," it says, "from charity, from
military or political reasons, or
from solidarity. Let us have bread!
Read the municipal statistics."
I* declares that what England
and France know as privation
would be luxury for the majority of
the Greeks, who before the war
could hardly feed themselves, and
since the blockade of Greek porW
have bean under a veritable famine.
Rice, dry beans and peas, the chief
foods of the poor, have disappeared
or reached fabulous prices, making
them impossible for the poor, it
asserts, while meat, fish, eggs, poul
try butter and milk were never
possible for the poor except on
holidays and are now entirely be
yond their reach.

ABOLISH MONTHLY FEE
(Anchorage Times Oct. 23) I
Fifteen hundred dollars of terri
torial funds la available for the!
maintenance of the public night
school here, according to word re
ceived today by the educational au
thorities.
This money will be apportioned
to this district by reason of tho
action of Judge F. M. Brown, of
th<* third division, who at Vaidez
yesterday formally granted a peti
♦ion asking that he officaliy au
thorize the establishment of a pub
lic night school here. This of
ficial recognition is necessary in
order that the school may obtain
funds from the territorial treasury.
Under the law, the night school,
in accepting the territorial ap
nortionment, can no longer charge
a fee for instruction In ordinary
branches, and, as a consequence, Su
perintendent T. R. McAnally an -
nounoes the immediate abrogation
of tuition fee of $5 a month that
was established early in the sea^
son. Among the courses required
under the law are civics and Ameri
can history. j j j
