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 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.
