GEORGESON AGAIN
ASKS PERMISSION
TO SHOOT THE DEER
Dr. C. C. Georgeson, head of the
Government Experimental Farms in
Ala k:i. has telegraphed to Washing
ton, D. C.. to be allowed to shoot
the deer which almost nightly invade
the strawberry patches on the ex
perlmental farm on the outskirts cf
: the city limits 'in Sitka. Once be
fure he applied to the U. S. Com
j tnissioner for permission but it was
: net granted.
The strawberry : itch looks like a
j veritable deer pasture, with tracks
i everywhere, some of which indicate
j there are unusually large deer among
| the Invaders. Even the presence of
a dog has failed to keep away the
: deer which consider the tops of the
i strawberry plants and especially the
I blossoms a rare delicacy.— (Sitlia

GIRLiNEWGASE
NEW YORK, April 25. , A girl who
'is too young to wed arrived at El'.is
Island to join her fiance until she is
old enough to marry him.
Mttss Phyllis Curtis, not yet 18,
who arrived from Wales, made this
unique plea for entry to the United
States:
"I am too young to get married
and my mother knows it, too; but
she is willing for me to come to
America and watt at the home of my
sweetheart's parents until I am old
enough.”
Ordinarily, when girls who are too
young to wed come here they are
excluded as “likely to become a pub
i lie charge, unless they have rela
lives here tk> guarantee their sup
port and care.
But with Phyllis it is different.
“He’s been away one year, and 1
just couldn't wait any longer to see
him,” she said. "His mother is my
mother’s friend, and she will have
charge of me until I am old enough
to become William's wife.”
; The girl’s beauty and modest}
Ibroke the banters of the law, and
she left for the home of William Wll
j Hants, of NanticcSke, Penn.
