T • old spell of this week has
developed conditions which if they

swinps back and forward into new
positions, it shoves the ice on top
or under the main body, making it

With the continuation of the cold
snap, it will probably be found
necessary to close down ihe dredg

hoped that conidtions would allow
the operations to continue well into

No. 1 dredge was closed down
two weeks ago on account of the
breaking of one of the spuds, one
pivot on which the boat swings in
its crosswise and back motion.

ICE FORMING FAST
ALONG NOME BEACH
The first ice formed along the
beach this week and at this time is
extending out to sea as far as the
eye can reach. The North wind of
Thursday, blowing cold from off
the northern Ice packs, helped the
formation and also started It mov

TIRED TAILOR RETURNS HOME
KING OP A SOUTH SEA ISLAND
PRAGUE, Nov. 18, (AP)—Into a little tailor j
shop of this city there walked the other day Jan |
Funda, who announced he had come back after 13 !
years to claim his scissors, needles and pressing
irons. He wanted to take these implements of
his trade back to the South Seas, Punda announced .
where he. was owner and governor of an island
filled with cocoanut trees.
Jan Funda began his wanderings in 1913 be
cause a suit of clothes he had made for a custom
er jdid not fit and there resulted a row. This dis
gusted Jan with the tailoring business, and he
left Prague for Germany. London saw him, adn
so did Paris, and from Marseilles he traveled to
Africa. Australia harbored him for a few months

saved some money, and planted it to cocoanuts.

friends that he wanted his tailor’s goose and his
shears to show the Island children, not the origin of
a governor, bnt the success of a clever tailor.
RIM RUXXERS AX I) ALIENS
OVERCROAVI) BORDER JAILS
MALONE, N. Y., Nov. 21, (AP»—The United
States Government is soon to begin the erection of
a large Federal prison at Rouses Point on thg Can
adian Border, according to the reports circulated
through police circles in the North Country.
The prison will be used to house the scores of
booze runners, other types of smugglers and aliens
now being arrested in Clinton, Essex, Franklin and
St. Lauredce Counties and confined in the county
jail until their cases are disposed of.
The Government is being practically forced to
build a prison or detention house on the Border be
cause the sheriffs of the counties where the bulk of
the arrests are being made have notified the Federal
officials they cannot care for the scores of prisoners
sent them, the county jails being full to overflowing.
Recently the situation has become much worse
owing to the great number of aliens being seized in
the border counties. In the coilrts it has been dis
closed that scores have been brought across the
border by liquor runners and others, who drop
their chargls as soon as the border is passed.
