Knoch E. Maihison. an attorney
of Astoria. Oregon. through Attor
ney Ralph K. Koht *tson of Juneau.
Thursday filed suit in the district
court against Joht. T11 jtpola to re
cover $600.OttO lor am _ >d breach
of contract. J. H. Cobb, as1 trustee
for Tuppela and (Irovi-r t". Winn, as
bis guardian, are made parties to j
the suit.
It is alleged in the complaint that
on March 11. 191s. Tuppela enter
ed into contract.with Mathisor. by
which the latter was to have the
sole charge of bringing action
agai.st the Chichagoff Mining com
l>anv for recovering Tuppela's share.
Since Tuppela left Astoria for Ju
neau. Mathison heard nothing more
from him. although since that time
Tuppela secured judgment for a
large sum. Some time ago Hellen
thal & Hellenthal brought suit
against Tuppela in behalf of Henry
l.episto for $75,000, the latter al
leging that he had assisted Tuppela
and nm^e it possible for him to se
sure attorneys to begin action
against the Chichagoff people. In
the Lepisto case Judge Reed Satur
day overruled a demurrer to the
, complaint.—Juneau Capital.
GLACIAL PERIOD IN DISPUTE
Ample Evidence That It Existed, but
tne Question I&, When Did
It Endt
When did the glacial period end?
Was It, an American scientist perti
nently asks, when tlie Ice began m di»
appear. or had half disap|>eared, or
had entirely disappeared?
If the last mentioned, then we are
still in the ice age, for Europe has
its glaciers. and so have Labrador, the
Rockies, Alaska and Island* In the
arctic regions, and. as every schoolboy
Is aware, Greenland Is nearly covered
with an ice cap.
fan the question he sell led by ■
reference to climate? If so, then the
glacial period ended for, say. the On
tario region at the beginning of I-ake"
Iroquois, for its trees -belonged to a
cold, temperate climate.
Probably the jmlnt Is best settled
by making the glacial period a pro
gressive event, regarding It as ending
in one regi'm perhaps thousands of
year# before It ends In another.
Without doubt, this far-off epoch of
thick-ribbed Ice constitutes one of the
great mysteries of the world's history.
It Is absolutely hedged 'n with uncer
tainty.
Though it is generally believed that
there was more than one ice age. no
one can say with any degree of cer
tainty whether there were three, four
or six, or a dozen, for the matter of
that.
And the deepest of all mysteries
connected with one or any of these
Icy peri•xls is what was the cause of
them. Both geologists and astrono
mers. have, so far. failed to solve that
problem. It Is not yet even agreed
us to « hat extent the Ice cap covered
the globe.
THINGS ONE WOULD FORGET

Deaf Cashier.
When I was a young fellow, shy
and self-conscious. 1 went to a church

girls with angelic countenances and
Jinan *pi«e[iles out to the refresh

they wanted 1 found that 1 had left

whom 1 had never seen liefore, was

A crowd of |teople was wailing im

Finally 1 shouted: "1 have no

llie breeches had assumed enonnous

various materials, as wool. hair. etc.
King James' partiality for such
breeches Is well known, and we find
him represented in an old engraving
with wide stuffed breeches tapering
to the knee, sisished and adorned with
lace. In the reign of Charles I they
tiMk the form of short trousers, loose
at the knee and ornamented with rib- |

Types of Oranfle*.
The best known orange is the
"sweet" or "round" type which com
prises the bulk of the commercial crop, j
There are several other types, how- ]
ever. The manderin or "kid glove" I
type—the tangerine. In other words—
Is common on the fruit stands, but it
constitutes but a very small portloc
of the market supply. The Seville
orange, known as the "sour" or "bit
ter" variety, rarely is grown for its
fruit, but seeding* are used extensive

from the rind of which Bergamont
