NOME, ALASKA, JAN. 11, 1917.
The Post-Intelligencer says that a
western man hired some girls from
the city to shock corn in the ab
sence ot male help. The corn was
shocked when they appeared in their
city clothes.
The new ten-cent piece may have
been artistic and all thut but it is Just
as well they were withdrawn from
use fur the public could buy almost
nothing with one of them so high is
the price of everything.
Umatilla is a town somewhere in
Oregon and It has got Itself ta'ked
about because it has elected and In
stalled women in all offices except
that of poundmaster. There arc
towns where a woman could hold
down this Job also as well as any
man and the woman wouldn’t have
anything to do at that.
Complaints come from back °ast
that the demand for copper and the
increased use of small coinage is
causing a shortage of 1-cent pieces.
Thai’s Just like the east, worrying
about the pennies. There are peopiu
born in the west who never saw a
one-cent piece and a good many
others who hope they never will
again.
That notorious degenerate Harry
Thaw is again in the public eye. Of
ficers of the law in New York have a
warrant for him and are spending
Uunar.it of dollaia to find him.
They say that once they arrest him
. he will be lodged behind the prison
bars for a long time. And apparent
ly he belongs there. So far hs is
known he has never done any produc
tive labor of any kind. Oa the oiher
hand he has squandered everything
Including human lives. He has been
of use to society neither from the
economic or aesthetic slund points.
And still the people of New York
stale have been forced io spend hun
dreds of thousands of dollars on him.
It is about tune for him to be round
ed up and put where he cun do no
further harm.

It Is doubtful whether any one man
fully realizes how much Uncle Sam
rtsilly is doing for his relatives. He
Is at work in a thousand and one
wnj’3 on all sorts of projects which
arc intended, us a rule, for the benefit
of the whole people. It may be true
thut the government of the United
States Is gradually becoming a bu
reaucracy and of e.ouise this may turn
out to be an awful thing. We may
have to get rid of all our old bureaus
to curio buyers after a while but In
the meantime we can get a little
uiuusement from time to time watch
ing the antics of some of the govern
ment experts ns they pick up things,
turn them over and put them djwu
again. Doubtless some of the re
siarches and investigations have a
i.rional purpose behind them and of
ten attain their object but some things
seem almost sdiy. They may turn
out to be silly but on this other hand
tl ey might nave linn d ou. •iin.cr
ently and then tin ' would have been
called wsc. Probably no one could
have foretold whether they were to
turn well or 111 without a practical
demonstration. Take the recent exoer
iments with crabs and lobsters for
instance. Some of the gentlemen of
the division of fish culture of the
United States bureau of fisheries got
an idea into their heads that it would
bo a fine thing to swap some of the
big Puget Sound crabs for some east
ern lobsters. The plan was to kidnap
some of the crabs from their pleasant
surroundings In waters of even tem
perature on whose margin stood the
towering fir tree and which reflected
the snow clad tops of Olympics and
Cascades. and transport them to the
storm tossed and cheerless watery
wastes of the drear Atlantic. The
crabs were not consulted In the mat
ter at all. It was supposed that if
they did not like the change they
* r- <t kTmwn <n somn mav.
Ard surely they did. No sooner
had they passed the Cascades than
they refused to eat. Each one
curled up and sulked In a most
shameful manner while traversing the
plains. When they reached St. Paul
none of them showed any Interest In
lilt, and in the city of Chicago with
groat unanmity they decided life was
not worth llvng and quietely breathed
their last. The fish doctors dont' likt
to talk about this 3ud experience.
They feel that there is something ne
cessary to crab life that they over
locked when making plans to trans
port th*ir tenuar chargee from coast
to ooest. And probably there was.
Put they are not to be stopped frrm
fuither experiments no matter what

treasury or to the feelings of the

AGAIN THE SEA SERPENT.
Once again comes a story of the
supposed sea serpent. A Swedish
naval officer reports that he saw. In
the Baltic Sea, a great sergcn'.s head
followed by what seemed to be about
eighty feet of snake-like body. There
are many stories of such creatures,
but none has ever been caught.
