FTR SEAL HERDS
SATISFACTORY 1\"
ALASKAN WATERS
Washington, Oct. 3.—Dr. L. StoJ
neger, fur animal expert of the Unit
ed States Natural History Museum,
declares that fur seals of the
American and Japanese Islands of
the North are increasing in a satis
factory manner, while the seal herds
of the Russian islands and the Si
berian coast fail to show as prosper
ous a condition.
The Dr. recently returned from a
to ir of inspection and investigation
of the seal herd conditions, which
started from Seattle last summer.
The party was headed by Assistant
Secretary of Commerce Huston, and
others- were Alfred H. Brooks,
United States geologist, in charge of
geological work in Alaska, and Capt.
Charles K. Lindiiulst of Los Angeles.
The I'nited Stutes Coast Guard
Cutter Algomiuiu took the party
from Seattle to Alaska and aCer an
investigation of the seal herds in
American islands and Alaskan wa
ters, Dr. Stejneger, Dr. Brooks and
Capt. Liudquist transferred to the
I'nited States Cutter Mojave and
started last July 8 for an itivestiga
tion of seal condi'ions in the Japan
ese islands. Russian islands as well
as the Siberian coast. Stops were
made at Petropolaskl. the Robber
Islands. Kamschatkan Coast and the
islands and coast of the Okhosk Sea
and when this w is cobpleted the par
ty continued to Japan and made the
homeward trip.on the Admiral liner
President Jefferson.
"We found fur seal herds have In
creased in number in the American
and a Japanese island, hut this pleas
ant condition did not exist in the
Russian owned islands or on the
coast of Siberia. In those districs
there has evidently been a decrease
in the size of the fur seal herds, due,
possibly to the unsettled condition in
Russia and its attendant effects,"
Dr. Stejne^er said. "There has been
rat er promiscuous hunting done and
probably no attention has been eiven
the matter of fur seal protection."
"Conditions on the Russian Siher
an Coast are possibly not ns hud as
is rather generally believed. ' Hr
S'ejneser said. "Xo ill w>ll is vent
ed on foreigners who vis:i the coun
try and su'.'h disturbances as occur
appear to be confined to the citi
zens alone."
FAVORS TIIK OLD
M.AIL CONTRACT
Recently the postofilce department
awarded the contract for carrying
the r. S. mail from Kobi station,
just south of Xenana. to MnOrath
and the upper Kuskokwim district, to
E. Coke Hill. Previously the mail
was carried over the well beaten
trails of the Nancy-Rainy Pass-Mc
Grath route. Governor Scott C. 15one
has wired the Superintendent of tUe
Railway Service asking that the con
tract be reconsidered and again
awarded to the parties who carried
it over the route where there are
good trails, feed for dogs and ample
roadhouse accommodations. The
Governor fears that an adequate ser
vice cannot bo maintained over the
new route.

Pullman Service
to the Pole
Almost to the Arctic Circle, a
vestlbuled Pullman train—the farth
est north Pullman In the world—la
being operated over the United
States Government Railroad from
Se'vurd and Anchorage, on the coast,
to Fairbanks and Nenana, iu the In
terior.
Operation of the Pullman brings
the old Alaska of the gold stampede
days in direct touch with u new
Alaska In which modern methods of
transportation take the place of the
old form of "mushing" over snow
trails with dog teams of poling
boats on wild rivers.
Sourdoughs have taken kindly to
the Pullmans and even (lie natives
Indian will give up the equivalent
of u prime beaver tor a chance to
climb into a berth. When this hap
pens, however, the negro porter Is
! beset with uneasluess for an Indian
i in close proximity often is an ex
perience the average white man
| does not desire to repeat.
I Some of the old-timers who have
not seen sleeping cars for • twenty
years find It hard to answer the
formalities of I'ullman travel. For
instance some grizzled musher steps
aboaid at a way station with his
i Dutch socks and boots soaking wet.
'■ Kor years it has been his custom at
the roadhouses to hang his socks on
I t!.e stove overnight. To satisfy his
1 patrons, the porter has a little wire
hung over a heater ill the day coach,
where he dries out the pedal adorn
ment of the passengers.
On the trail is a buffet diner,
presided over by the veteran J.
Casey McPonald. who has packed
his blankets from the Rio Grande to
the Yukon. At eating time the row
of stools is always tilled and before
each place a menu announces the
following dishes ana prices:
Cantaloupe, 50c; Apple sauce,
25c; stewed prunes. 25c; grape fruit
o5c; eggs, boiled, shirred or fried,
75c; bacon and eggs, $1.00; corned
beef hash with poucned egg, $1.00
breakfast bacon, $1.00; toast, 20c;
coffee, 15c and bottle of milk, 25c;
roast pork, $1.00, and moose, moun
tain sheep or caribou. $1.50.
At first a newcomer revises bis
appetite and visions or a big meal
vanish. When he finds, however,
that the train prices are only 25 per
cent higher than in the average Al
aska restaurant, he realizes that
they are reasonable.

Seattle Daily Times from Washing

let it be known that uuless some

CHILDLESS PAIR
ADOPT FAMILY
Devoted to Six Children Orphaned
by Tragedy.
LOVE REIGNS IN 1PPY HOME
All Art Joyously Awaiting Papa's Re
turn From Vaudeville Tour When
There Will' Be Grand Reunion it
Their Long Branch Summer Home
Children Rang* In Age« From
Twenty-one to Eight and All Hav#
Been Adopted by Couple.
Lynbrook, L. L, ha* a mystery which
the police ure not going to be called
upon to unravel. It Is this: Did Sim
Collins and his wife, Lillian, the
vaudeville teuiu of Collins and Hart,
adopt the six children of Joseph-Capu
lllo or did the Capulllo children adopt
the Collinses? The real mother of the
six died some years ago. The father
whs shot and killed last Christinas
by another Italian whom he had be
friended, I'asquule Viola, who Is now
serving a sentence in Sing Sing for
the killing.
Mrs. Collins, without children of her
own. had mothered the family before
the father wag killed. Just as she had
mothered some twenty other children
of other unions before that, but those
twenty, after they had been prepared
for the battle of life, had either left
of their own accord or had been taken
away by relatives who could find them
useful. So that she wouldn't lose
these Mrs. Collins has taken out adop
tion papers, which will be recorded
tifter they have been signed by her
husband, Sim, who Is now playing an
engagement In California.
The children have lltted themselves
Into their new environment with
wonderful contentment. The oldest,
John, is twenty-one and Is now an
automobile mechanic. The youngest,
Kill, Is eight.
"Why Not?" Sim Ask*.
"Why shouldn't we adopt tiiemT*
said Sim Collins to the New York
World correspondent In San Fran
cisco, answering a question about it
My wife Is fond of children and of
the Capulilo children generally. As a
maifer of fact we have had three of
them for some time, and when the
father was shot we took the others
and have decided to formally adopt
the whole family. We are comforta
bly fixed financially and can afford it."
It Is a well balanced family the
Collinses have taken Into their hearts
and home. There are three boys and
three girls. The oldest Is John Ber
nard, who is twenty-one. Then comes
Marie Elizabeth, seventeen. Adolphus
Sims, fifteen; Edward Henry, thir
teen ; Evelyn Louise, eleven; Flfl
Adolphlne, eight.
Mr. Collins Is as fond of them as Is
his wife, and they are wonderfully
fond of him. All their plans and en
terprises. and they are an enterpris
ing lot. seem to center around how
"papa" wlii like it when he comes In
from the road.
Little Flfl.
For Instance, there Is little Flfl.
She Is a dark, sprightly little elf. and
was having a great time dancing
around the yard, trying to balance a
long wooden lath on the tip of her
finger when a reporter visited the
happy family.
"I'm taking dancing lessons," she
Bait! cheerfully, "and I'm doing Sue.
You know mamma was a great dan
cer, and she has been teaching me,
but she Isn't so well now. Papa will
be awfully surprised when he comes
home and sees me dance for him."
Adolphus, Interested In chicken cul
ture. rushed straight «o his -feathered
pets when he came in from school.
"I have twenty-flve chickens now
and we are getting twelve eggs a day,"
he said.
"Do you sell any?" he was asked.
"No; we use them. You see down
here we have to pay 75 cents a dozen
for eggs when we buy them."
Adolphua Is Mechanical.
Mrs. Collins thinks Adolphus' prin
cipal bent, however, Is mechanical,
just as is that of his oldest brother,
John. He was the first of the Capu
lllos to come around the Collins domi
cile. First he came as a boy to do
chores after school hours, and his
visits and employments became longer
until, at the time of his mother's
death, he was living at the Collinses.
One by one the other children followed
him, and then when the father was
killed Mrs. Collins decided to adopt
the whole family. She had the papers
drawn up and signed, and they will
be completed and recorded as soon as
Sim comes home from the coast to
sign them.
Marie Elizabeth Is the assistant
mother of the family. When Mrs.
Collins Is away she is the head of the
family, and the children obey her as
promptly and as cheerfully as they do
their "mamma." Marie expects to
qualify as a secretary, and has been
taught with that object In view. For
the past couple of seasons she has had
summer employment as bookkeeper
and amanuensis in one of the summer
enterprises at Long Beach.
It is only the youngest half of the
family that has theatrical ambitions.
Edward Henry Is determined to be a
comedian "like papa," who Is some
pumpkins as an acrobatic comedian,
•v'rlt a penchant for carrying animals
that can do fnnny stunts. He has a
r • parrot helping him with his act
now.
