RlTt&i^ NONOOM HELD AS
SPY, back: in-service
Camo Lewis, July 26. — Regi
mental Sergeant Major Thomas Hel"
muth Rltter, who ». few months ago
was the central figure In charges a
gaiast him that he was a spy in the
service of Germany and that' he was
also the grandson, of the quarter
master general of the Eighth Ger
man, army corps, today was made a
•ergeant In the On® Hundred and
Sixty-sixth depot Brigade.
Ritter two months ago was re
leased from the guardhouse of the
depot brigade, where he. had been
confined following his removal from
the county jail in Tacoma. He
was assigned to the depot brigade
for duty as a private, having been
reduted while in confinement. The
(act that the charges against him
could not be proved and his later
release and restoration to duty wag
not permitted to be published at
>tl»at time by the officers of the
Ninety-first division, who, with the
district attorney's officer In Seattle,,
were )n charge of thf. case.
It was said at the time that Rittcq
was arrest«d that iu his capacity as
regimental sergeant major on duty
in division headquarters he had been
instrumental in the loss of several
valuahle papers and that a wreck
of a troop, train In Minnesota was
directly traced to hitn. RUter, who
is of German nativity, but a citizen
of this country, declared his inno
cence, but he was kel>t confined in,
the guardhouse nearly six months
before being released.
Realizing that he cannot be as
signed to any overseas regiment, Rib
ter lately appited for a transfer to
the Philippine islanos, where he
hopes to regain the rank held by,
him when arrested, the highest ranfc
to which enlisted men can be pro
moted.
GIVING CABBAGE
"SWELLED" HE Aft
Any proposition with a "atriag
on it" is not considered favorably,
but it is different with cabbagfc.
W. A. Childs, of the U. S. Mar
shal's office, has strings on all his
cabbage and th,ey_ thrive beyond
comparison with the loose cab
bage heads growinu in other gar
dens.
[ Capillary attraction was one of the
studies he took in school, not be
cause he liked it hut because the
curriculum required it. But he
leaded it, nevertheless and this
spring, he put his knowledge to use.
Cabbage was the ooject of his eX"
periment. He put a cotton striug.
through the stem of the plauts be
tween the head and the roots when
they were first reset aud the string
led to a can filled with, water.
These cabbage heads have not
learned the lessoa of temperance,
and. it is said they will druin a
'quart can of water as quickly as
;an old toper would a can of beer.
It goes to their neads too, and
makes them fat. Considering their
start in life, there are no other
cabbages in the country getting
| along as well as these.
Mr. Child# has followed the ad
vice of Lincoln, and is not only
making two blades of grasg grow
where one gew before ,but he is'
i raising berries, peas, potatoes, and
I many other varieties of vegetables, <
I as well as flowers where none grew
previously.
He gathered soil from other
sources and coverd the hitherto
bare rocks to a suificient depth
so that every one wh,o passes with
! eyes open stops and makes favor
able comment.—Dispatch.
MIXES PRODUCING IN ALASKA
Anchorage. — Alaska coal miner*
along the United States railroad be
ing built between, Seward and Fair
banks are giving ut> increasing tons
of fuei to supply not only the rail
road v-ut to satisfy demands for their
products from interior and south
western sections of northern teri
tory. No coal is being shipped to
the-states.
Recently a shipment of 400 tons,
said tq be the largest shipment of
coal ever brought here over the
iailroad, arrived from the mine be
ing operated by the government at
Eska, a point on the railroad- 58
miles north of here. The 400 tons
constituted the output of the mine
fpr two days.
Last month the Eska mine pro
duced over 5000 tons of coal. The
month's production was the heaviest
in the history of the property. The
force ot men employed at the mine
durlne: the month averaged about
106,
Up to-the Nenana coal fields, near
thQiintetior end of the railroad, 200
tons of coal have been mined by a
fina operating at the mouth of Lig
nite creek. The firm is selling the
coaj to the government, which uses I
it lh a pUMrlver encatbd In rail
rofcd bridtf* work »t the crossing of
thft Nenana river.
Nenant» coal la lignite and is said
to be of fair grade. Governmant
officials here assert that while it
l>rab«o!y la not suited-for 6*port it
111 furnish valuable and much
needed fuel In portions of interior
Alaska that are now dependent upon
a scanty and expensive supply of
/ood. .
Many Alaska rlVer steamboats,
which for y«ars have used wood for
fuel, may change to coal burflars
and ueo the Nenana output when
the fields are developed and the
railroad built to them. Nenana coal
also probably; will be used as loco
motive fuel on the-government raii
road for power, for thawing'rnlties
the Tanana valley and as domestic
fuel <n Fairbanks and other Tanana
valley .points. It ia believed that
Fairbanks and the Nenana fields will
be connected by rail this Tear.
