NO PROTEST ENTERED
ON N'KW RATES
Ketchikan ghipi»ers failed to en*
tor any protest against advance of
lafs before Examiner Kent of the
s'jiiip Kg board. Referring to the
hearing at Ketchikan, the Progress
ive .Miner says:
While the Alameda ■was in port
t"d:.y the party held a hearing at
the public library, ia order to give
tae local shippers an oppotunity to
present their complaints, if any,
or their views, on the probable ef
f"ct of the proposed, increase in the
fiti-ht rates on various commodi
ties to and from Alaska.
Senator J. R. Heckman, represr •
::.s* 'he largest cannery Interests ia
southeastern Alaska, outside the
Maska Packers, went on record as
having no complaints to make on
the service or the increase of rates.
Kfc was confirmed by the opinion,
o: H. C. Strong, prominent cannery
man a::d shipper. II. R. Thompson,
who represented the fresh, fish ship
nets of the city. mad<e the statement
that he favored a flat rate on all
• ides of merchandise, as ;p referable]
to the present classified taj-iffs, in
which there was too much detail.
1!- ::lso registered a protest against
t hunching of boats southbound,
•'specially i;l the winter time, which
• lit. da red worked a hardship on
the fishermen and the fish. Buyers
wiil uot buy fish until about three
days before they have been notified
'.hat a boat is U'ue sout2ibound, if
they do buy fish and the boat do'
n >t put in an appearance before
seven or eight days, the fish reach
o'-attle in a condition, unfit for the
fresh fish market®. For this rea
son .Mr. Thompto^ stated' he was in
f -vor of admitting the Canadian
steamers in the coastwise trade. J
This would be unnecessary, however,'
a regular schedule could' be ar
ranged between tie two largest
steamship companies whereby a five
'••r six-day service wuld be establish
ed oa which the shippers could' de
pend.
.)ud?e Grosscup, examiner for the
hearing, pointed out to the com
missioner that tte "blanket" or
flat rate system of the old days
had nad to be abandoned' on oc
voannt of its impracticability.
■N'o other merchants being present
to make statements, the hiring
was declared adjourned', and Mr.
Kent announced that cm their return
from the north the hearing wiil be
reopened to hear any further com
plaints that will be ready at that
time.—Progressive Miner*

Chancellor Quick to Sea Truth In fill
Related to Him by Wartdar>
Ing Traveler.
Lee, the chancellor of the kingdom
of fin, wtas plotting to murder the
kin*. So, a wandering traveler, came
to visit him, and Introducing himself
as follows.:
"Your humble servant, Su, wretched
and poverty-stricken, possessing not
even a feeble horse and an old buggy,
has left his aged parents at home,
tramped through the dust, braved the
frost and snow, crossed River Tsarn
with the sole purpose of seeing you
and offeeing you humble advice. Will
you give, him the privilege of speaking
to you?"
The chancellor, knowing the speak
er's latent, answered maliciously:
"Any word about men I am tired of
listening to. But If you can tell me
something about ghoats and spirits, I
will be owerjoyed to hear you."
"That is Just what I would Uke to
tell about sir." returned Su. and he
continued: "When I was tramping on
my way here I lost my direction one
night In a lonely forest. Weary and
exhausted, I could find no place to
rest. I had no blanket, no mattress,
only a chilly, misty vapor wrapped
around me. I hid myself Id the tall
grass. By my side stood a bulky tomb.
Faintly I heard a quarrel between a
wooden doll and a clay doll as to which
was the superior la quality. The clay
doll droned the following argument:
" *1 am molded out of clay. If, per
chance, I am ruined by swift wlud or
bitter rain, I can return to my home,
to Mother Earth. But as for you, you
are carved out of the branch of a tree.
You have been severed from your own
root. When you face swift wind or
bitter rain, you will be thrown Into the
Tsarn river, carried eastward to the
sea, to the ocean. Then where will be
your abiding place? You will float and
drift for eternity.'
"I, the traveler, listened and won
dered. and felt that the clay doll was
without question the winner of the
dispute.
"Now, your honor Is plotting against
the king and the royal family. Do
you realize that you will kill off your
own root and destroy the very founda
tion of your power?"
"Remain with me over night, and I
•will talk some more to you to-mor
row," said the chancellor, after a
moody reflection.—C. Y. Tang, In
Chinese Students Monthly.
Aztec Rallca Unearthtd.
Announcement of the recovery of
TO,000 specimens of prehistoric Aztec
civilization from the famous "Aztec
ruin" in the Amas valley In northwest
ern New Mexico has been made by the
American Museum of Natural History.
Work of excavation has been In prog
ress since the summer of 1916, funds
for which have been provided by Ar
cher M. Huntington and J. P. Morgan.
The scene of the exploration was
once a typical pueblo, or great forti
fied house and village, and although
the work of unearthing the hidden
treasures Is only partly completed,
what has thus far been found within
the crumbling walls so long hidden
from human view bus exceeded, it Is
said, the most sanguiue hopes of the
investigators.
Necklaces of shell and tortoise, agate
knives, pottery vessels of various
forms and ornameutatlon. cotton cloth
and woven sandals are among tbe fluds
reported by N. C. Nelson, assistant
curator of the WiiseTira and Earl H.
Morris, in charge of the exploring
party.
Enough masonry In the ruin was un
covered to have built a wall half way
from New York to Philadelphia.
Wished the Spike* Also.
The wife of a thrifty Western
farmer had worked very, very hard for
many, many years, dcprlviug herself
not only of nil luxuries, but of many
comforts. "Foolishness," she had
termed such things. But the mail
order catalogue In which father was
Interested had caught her eye—or was
It her neighbor's new bonnet? Some
change had come over her Ideas of
what constituted "foolishness." and
she astonished father one morning by
announcing she was going to town to
buy a hat.
Arriving at a millinery store she sur
prised the clerk who came forward to
wait on her by asking: "I want to
know who's runnln' this here joint?"
"I am at present," "the clerk re
sponded.
"Well, what I want to know Is, If I
buy a fine hat here, will you throw In
the spikes?"—Indianapolis Star.
Their New Homo?
Who says there is difficulty In find
ing quarters In Washington?
There Is a colored family In this
town that recently disagreed with It
self. Sirs. Jones—we call her that
decided to leave Sam Jones, so she
took the seven children and left sud
denly one day for her old Virginia
home.
Sum suddenly found himself bereft.
It cadnot be said that Sam mourned.
Fact Is, he was pleased.
That was why he mourned when he
read the followlug post card one morn
ing:
"Meet your family at Union Station
4:15."—Washington Star.
Up in th« Air.
"You \were yelling in your sleep last
night."
"Yes. I dreamed dat I waj float
ing around in de sky."
"Why, dat ought to haT« b«ea a
pleasant dream."
"So; I dreamed I was run orer by
an airship." .
GIRLS HELP FSAfiCfc
Red Cross Worker Tells Thrilling
Tale of Experience.
Pay* Glowing Trioute to the Wonder*
ful Spirit of the French
Soldiers.
Chicago.—Miss Gladys M. Spencer
of Highland Park. 111., told 150 girls,
ranging from seventeen years of age,
her experiences as a Red Cross worker
In France, and ptr!s everywhere will
be thrilled over her talk.
"Once while I was very close to the
front lines wlih my ambulance," she
said, "I was put In charge of several
other machines aud ordered to return
the wounded to the base hospitals. It
was then that I had my flrst real good
opportunity to observe the wonderful
spirit of the French soldiers. They
remain quiet no matter how much
pain they are In, and there Is very lit
tle grumbling. Always you can find a
smile. And they are going to win the
war J"
It Is dittlcult to realize that a tender
ly reared America* girl handled her
self with so much poise in a shell-shat
tered area. The group of girls she was
addressing were preparing themselves
to face the same dangers, and thou
sands of other American girls and
women as nurses are more than doing
their bits.
"On another occasion," she con
tinued, "I drove my ambulance to a
freight house to remove some large
boxes. Only old men were left to lift
the boxes, or meu convalescing from
wounds. The boxes were too heavy
for them, so three other women and
myself pitched In and loaded the cars.
The tuen smiled sadly and wistfully.
"The spirit of the entire French peo
ple Is sunny. The.v are delighted over
America, anil they firmly believe that
with our help the Germans will be a
thing of the past in a very short time."
