COMMERCIAL GROWTH OF FLOW
BRING BULBS IN ALASKA
-o
Although flowers in Alaska are
sot a specialty of the agricultural
! experiment stations here, the es
thetic wants of the settlers and
homesteaders have not been entirely
overlooked. Because the Territory
is very poor in native ornamental
plants, experiments in flower grow
ing were begun at the Sitka station
ed to the stations in the interior.
These experiments, according to
the Department of Agriculture,
have demonstrated that hardy flow
ering bulb, including narcissus, tu
lips, English iris, gladiolus, the re
gal lily and hyacinths, can be propo
gated on a commercial scale in Alas
ka. Lovers of these beautiful flow
ers are advised to grow their own
bulbs where possible, as some va
rieties can no longer be obtained
in commercial quantities from for
eign countries on account of the risk
or introducing pests.
General cultural directions are
given in Circular No. 2 of tile Alas
ka Experimental Stations issued by
ibe department for the use of set
tlers and homesteaders in Alaska
who are interested in the growing
of hardy bulbs. A copy of the pub
Ication may be obtained by writing
to the United States Department of
Agriculture, Washington, D. C.
COOL1DGK ON I’ROHTBITION
The country has duly adopted the
eighteenth amendment. Those who
object to it have the right to advo
cate its modification or repeal.
Meantime, it is binding upon the Na
tional and State Governments and
.ill inhabitants. The Federal en
forcement bureau is making every'
eifort to prevent violations, especial- ]
ly through smuggling, manufacture,
and transportation, and to prose
cute generally all violations for
which it can secure evidence. It is i
hound to continue this policy. Un- j
der the terms of the Constitution,
however, the obligation is equally
on ihe States to exercise the power.
\-hich they have through the execu
tive, legislative, judicial, and police'
branches of their governments in be- j
naif of enforcement. The Federal
Government is doing and will contin
ue to do all it can in this direction
and is entitled to the active cooper-!
ntion of the States.

HONOR COURT HOLDS SESSION
-o
The Court of Honor, Boy Scouts
held a session in the Scouts Hall on
Third Street. Harold F. Dawes was
Judge; L. B. Cornelius and William
Dunkelberger, Associate Judges;
I A. B. Holt, Herald and Chester
| Johnson, Clerk.
| Twelve merit badges were award
to scouts who passed required tests.
The entire ceremony was carried
out with dignity and to the credit
of the Scouts and their sponsors—
the American Legion.
HECKMAN GETS OUT FROM
UNDER
J. R. Heckman, and associates,
owners of the Pure Food Fish Co.,
Ketchikan, sold outright their entire |
plant to the Nakat Corporation.
The Pure Food Fish Company was
organized several years ago by “J.
R.” and associates, all of Ketchi
kan. Just before one of the slumps
in salmon runs they leased to the
Nakat Corporation. The past awo
years the lease was continued with
an option to buy, said option being
exercised recently.
Heckman is said to have gotten
out from under about all thQ invest
mens he has in the first city. It is
said that his associates have also
oeen unloading their holdings.
DEAD MAN iS liftSumiiO xO
RIFE IN NEW EXPERIMENT ;
more into the lungs. He tried the >
* <’ n>e experiment wiflh a human
being by injecting the solution into
me heart of a man who had been
(lead and in the morgue for more
than twenty-four hours.
After several hours work on the
body they observed the heart
reacting feebly to the treatment and
..he body even began to become
warm. Several hours later the as
sembled scientists were startled by
the sound of a weak gurgling in the
throat of the man. “At that mo
ment,” said Dr. Eugene Klotz in the
Herman paper, “even the steel ner
ves of those distinguished men of
science gave way. Dr. Andrelev
stared at the man on the operating
table as in a stupor. It was as if
a sudden fright gripped all our
hearts and several of us trembled
with emotion.
“It is doubtful,” continued the
Herman, “if the man actually re
gained conseiusness. His eyelids
showed the faintest flutter for a sec
ond. but after -that, as if he had ex
hausted himself with a supreme ef
fort to come back to life, his strength
-bbed away again rapidly and the
experiment was discontinued. There
can be no doubt, however, that it
will he renewed within the near fu
ture. 1 believe that the Russian
savants are on the eve of an epoch
making contribution to science. We
are in the dark on many points as
yet, but there can be no doubt that
man is mailing progress beyond the
imagination in his fight with death.”
MAIL ORDER ADVERTISING
A lifted editorial.
-o
It lias been conservatively esti
mated that about three thousand
n ail order catalogs are mailed to
LaSalle parish post office each year.
The average cost of publishing
each oiio of these catalogs is said
t.u be thirty-live cents, or •$ 1.050 for
the total three housand. The. post
age alone would amount to around
$400., or a total of $1,450 for the
sending of three thousand mail or
der catalogs into our parishes.
The total circulation of thest
catalogs cannot exceed many over
ihree thousand because neighbors
do not borrow the catalogs as they
do for the home newspaper. Thus,
it would seem that mail order con- i
cerns spend around $1,500 each
vear in advertising their wares in j
LaSalle parish.
Contrast this to the expenditures
if some of the local merchants for
advertising and you have the reas- j
cns why so many of our people send j
money out of the parish for tlieir :
i
merchandise It isn’t expected that |
any one merchant spends any where !
near such amount to reach every
house in the parish. It would seem
obvious, however, that if they ex
pect to sell merchandise to LaSalle
parish people they should spend
something to extend the invitation
to encourage people to “keep their
money at home.” — Jena (La.) j

HIGH, WIDE AND HANDSOME
-o
One of the boys recently returned
from the States and was sitting in
Ohmer’s office telling Earl and the
shrimp herders about the big rodeo \
he had witnessed while down there.
He was loud in his of one of the
cowgirls, who he said rode her horse
in front of the Grand Stand and
‘"'say man, she rode in the saddle
on his neck, on the side, underneath,
and almost on liis tail.”
Earl snorted: “That’s nothin’ be
jeesis. I did all those stunts one
right after the other and finished
off with a perfect three point land
!ng the first time I ever got aboard
a danged cayuse and the only audi
ence to applaud was a bunch of
measly, yelping coyotes, Bejeesiz!
Jimmie Walters and David Lewis
of Wrangell brought the gasboat
Beilby over to the Fryer Machine j
Shops for repairs. They returned
to the Stikine City this morning.
