shal from Valdez, who Is at the
Fjye. The feat, which Involved trav
eling from a remote settlement near

kwiin district, by land anl water to
Valdez, Mr. Mossman considers all
the more remarKpble because it was
made by the guml with an insane
It (I »n in his dm .«■.
Leaving Bethel, the head of navi
for ocean vessels on the Kus
kok'.tin, the guaiu and his charge
took passage on a little cannery
steamer. The boat stopped at Nush
agak, and also at other smaller can
nery points.
At Harrington the guard and his
demented patient disembarked and
started a mush overland, which took
them to another bay on the southern
side of the Alaskan peninsula. From
this point they took a small open
boat for Sand Point. At Sand Point
they waited for over a week and then
embarked for Prince William Sound
| ports on the steamer Dora.
Mr. Mossman brought out three de
mented persons from the North and
took them to the Morningside asylum
jat Portland. He is now on his way

Thirty-five Million a Month
The tiptop record for cigar produc
tion in this city was made during the
month of October, as graphically
told in a local news story in yester
day’s Tribune.
The output of Tampa factories for
October was 35,726,233 cigars—
'nearly 9,000,000 a week—or 1,377,
'000 for each working day.
The month’s record is more than
a million cigars ahead of the best
previous month’s record since the
industry established.
Tampa’s factories, working at this
rate, would in less than three months,
make enough cigars to furnish ores
to every man, woman and child in
its possessions.
Naturally with such an output a’l
customs and internal revenue collec
tion records were also smashed.
The year’s output for this citv,
which last year went past the long
anticipated 300,000,000 mark, will
far exceed that figure in 1916.
