NON STOP FLYER IS PRODUCT OF NORTH
In the press dispatch of yester- day mention was made of an at-
tempt to he made by Lieutenant
James Doolittle and a companion officer to fly across the continent in
less than 24 hours without a stop. Mr. Doolittle is a product of Alas-
ka, having been raised at Nome, and is the nephew of Mrs. Gus Bor-
geu of Seward. In 1916 he was a
resident of this city for a brief
period and invested in property on
Fifth and Sixth streets, which prop- erties he still retains.
During the war he was an instruc-
tor at the New York aviation school. He came into considerable promin- ence. as an aviator a short time af-
ter Aviator Pearson attempted his flight into Mexico, during which time his plane was wrecked. Lieut. Doo-
little, with a companion, went to
where the plane was located, re-
paired it and brought it back to the
United States landing at one of the
Texas aviation fields. Mr. Borgen was greatly surprised
to read of his nephew’s-proposition in the paper as it has been consider-
able time since he last heard of him. j -—Seward Gateway.
CANNIBALS INTELLIGENT AMONG SOUTH SEA TRIBES
LONDON, Aug. 15. — The cannibal: tribes are the most intelligent and intellectual of all the South Sea
natives according to Mrs. Beatrice
Grimshaw, authoress, who has just returned to England after fifteen
years in the islands of the South Sea.
“The cannibals are not only the
most intelligent but they are phys- j ically the most powerful,” Mrs. I
Grimshaw says. “This is the result of generation after generation of the
survival of the fittest.
“The cannibals hold their orgies in secret, and never on any of the
plantations. “In nearly every case the victim!
who is killed is a native of a rival! village.
“The body is cooked in an oven i
dug in the hillside or is boiled in a
big pot with tripe, such as is often1
referred to in jest. “When cases of cannibalism are
reported and proved the natives are
severely punished',, but they are
not hanged, as it is considered that
their crime is simply a result of
ignorance and that they do not know
any better.
“The customs of the natives are
very curious. Secrecy is rife, and I
know for a fact that many of these
natives possess occult power. “The natives understand hypnotism
from end to end, and they have a
great knowledge of spiritualism. “The coinage of the South Sea
Islands is almost entirely reckoned in wives and pigs.
“A good wife is equal to about
seven pigs. The, women are very
badly treated, and I have even
known cases where wives have been
eaten by their angry husbands. A
wife can be bought on the hire-
purchase system; but, strange to
say it is not the men who propose.”
HIS WAS A NET INCOME
Congressman George Holden Tink- ham, of Massachusetts, says the
following dialogue took place be-
tween a Cape Cod fisherman and a Boston lawyer.
Lawyer—What, is your gross in- come?
Witness—I have no gross income. Lawyer—No income at all? Witness—No gross 'income; I have
a net income. I am a fisherman.
COULDN’T SPEAK ENGLISH
“Edward,” asked a teacher in a
school on the East side, “why were
you absent from school this morn-
ing?” “Oh, some one stole me coat on
me.”
“What’s that? Stole your coat ‘on
you?’ “Aw, teacher,” interjected Edward’s
brothei-.. “He’s ignorant; he can’t talk English. He means some one
stole his coat off him.”
All the concentrating tables and conveyors o£ the Alaska Gastineau Mining Company mill at Thane have
been taken by the Nevada Consolidat- ed Copper Co., of McGill, Nevada, ac-
cording to a statement made by W.
T. Tolch, general manager. There
are 200 tables. The parts are now
being assembled for shipments and
will be shipped by September 1, Mr. Tolch said. Mr. Tolch recently re-
turned from the States and British Columbia, where he closed deals for
the purchase of machinery. MOST MACHINERY TAKEN
“The greater part of the mill ma-
chinery has been disposed of and is
being shipped to various concerns in
the south on every boat,” said Mr. Tolch.
“The Consolidated Mining &Smelt- ing Company, Ltd., at Trail, B. C., which has been purchasing machinery for some time is taking more parts which are being shipped on every boat. W. H. Hannay, representative of the company, is here in charge of
the purchase of the machinery. He will remain until the last shipment is made to his company.
“The Britannia Mining & Smelting Company, Ltd., at Britannia Beach, B.
C., has purchased parts and six mine
cars are being shipped on the Princess
Louise. HOISTS PURCHASED
“The Pioneer Sand & Gravel Com- pany of Seattle has closed a deal for
two automatic hoists which are now
being made ready for shipment. "We now have a deal on with the
Santa Cruz-Portland Cement Com-
pany, California, for taking cars and
locomotives and expect to make the
sale shortly.” A. W. Gigot, of the Canada Consoli-
dated Mining & Smelting Company, Ltd., of Anyox, B. C., is here to look
over the machinery with a view to
purchasing for his company.—Juneau Empire.
COUGAR GETS BACON HOLDS UP GIRL CAMPERS
TACOMA, Aug. lB.—Miss Susan An-
derson of Tacoma, and Miss Florence
Sowan of Dash Point, on an outing
trip in a canoe, have returned after
having been forced by a cougar to
spend half the night on Puget Sound
in their frail craft. The two girls started from Dash
Point, equipped with such light camp-
ing outfit as they could accommodate in their canoe, expecting to be gone a
week Columbusing Vashon Island.
They crossed Puget Sound the first
afternoon and found a fine camping place for the night. They had with
them for protection a wolf-hound, and
after their little fire went out that
night things began to happen. The
dog’s growling awakened them about
midnight. The girls listened and
heard the answering snarl of the big
cat. They hurriedly climbed into their
canoe and pushed off from shore.
Remembering that animal life fears
fire, one of the girls took a flashlight which they had in the canoe and
played it on their camp grounds. The
outline of the cat could be seen and
the flashlight drove him back into the
woods, but not until he had disposed of the bacon which the young ladies
had brought. Fearing a return of the beast, how-
ever, the two remembel2345B....6....6.... ever, the two remained in the little
craft all night and then made their
way back to Dash Point, after gather- ing up the things about their camp
with the return of daylight.
