FINDS SPECIES
OF DID IDEE
THAT IS RARE
The birch tree referred to in the
following letter was found in the im
mediate vicinity of Anchorage and is
being carefully preserved by the au
thorities. Believing that the subject
will b« of interest to many of the
readers The Times publishes the let
ter in full as follows:
New York, Feb. 21, 1917.
Mr. Olav Barman, Anchorage, Alaska.
Dear Sir: Your letter of January
14 and the enclosed specimen are re
ceived, and I want to thank you for
taking the trouble to send this to the
museum.
Your finding this specimen in a!
birch tree in Alaska is more remarka- j
ble than you yourself perhaps realize, I
foi^the specimen is nothing less than
a loofah or vegetable sponge from a
gourd known botanically as Luffa ae
gyptiaca which grows in Egypt. These
loofahs can be purchased in almost
any drug store in this city. They
come flattened out, not over a half
inch thick, but swell to their original
shape when moistened.
Very truly yours,
BARRINGTON MOORE,
Associate Curator of Woods and
Forestry.

Fresh Ranch Eggs!!
75c the Dozen
As long as they last we will continue to sell fresh ranch eggs fresh from the
outside ex launch Rosebud, at the same price. These eggs were shipped direct to
Seldovia from Seattle where the Rosebud was waiting to receive them. They were
transshipped direct to Anchorage, coming in on the first vessel to bring fresh sup
plies to this city in 1917. Included in the shipment were fresh oranges, lemons,
grapefruit, and onions. Our Oranges and drape Fruit are sold out, but we yet have
Fresh Lemons and Onions
These also are selling rapidly, and if you have a hankering for fresh food place
your,order with us at once. While we are talking about things which are good to
eat it is only fair to call your attention to the fact that we have a large supply of

IF SHE EVER COMES TO
ALASKA, SHE’S LOST
WICHITA, Kan., Feb. 23.—The po
lice of Wichita, as upright a body of
night-stick twiddlers as ever thrived
in a prohibition state, nervously are
seeking Gertrude Smith, wife of
James of the ilk, who fled her bed
and board in the Smith mansion at
Augusta, Kan., several days ago.
James wants her and the two chil
dren she took with her to come back
home, and he has asked the eagle
eyed pavement pounders to find her.
There is but little, he admits, to dis
tinguish Gertrude from other femi
nine Smiths except one of her legs,
on which in a moment oflfcride she
had tatooed the initial “G.” James
says he is certain that if the good of
ficers of the law will but examine a
few lady Smith’s legs they will run
across a vagrena “G” and Gertrude.
Now, in Kansas, a great many in
novations in • politics, law and even
police procedure are developed, but
so far no policemen, not even the
bachelors, have volunteered to go al
phabet seeking to find Gertrude and
her tatooed leg.
In his plea to the police James neg
lected to give the exact latitude and
longitude of the initial. That’s the
most interesting topic of discussion
these quiet Wichita evenings around
police headquarters.

A gentleman, not connected with the
government railroad in any capacity,
aptly made the suggestion this morn
ing that it would be a wise policy for
the authorities to keep an extra pas
senger coach on the side track in read
iness to be used in case of extra heavy
travel. The railroad officials are very
much gratified over the increased
passenger travel and are preparing to
comfortably accommodate the spring
and summer rush.
