CORDOVA SCHOOL CHILDREN
ARE PROFICIENT
A set of twenty test questions, ail
relating to the present European war.
were given to the students of several j
colleges in the East, among which 1
were Rowdoin, Williams and New |
York University, so says the Literary
Digest of a recent date. The average
grade among one class of freshmen
was 63 per cent, in another class 52
per cent.
The pupils of the Cordova school
of the higher grades wished to try the
test, which they did with the follow
ing results, those above 50 per cent
being: .Tames Hunt, eighth grade, 71
per cent; Genevieve Rosswog, eighth
grade, 66 per cent; John Rosswog,
eighth grade, 64 per cent: Tommy
Hunt, seventh grade, 52 per cent. If
any one thinks these are not high
grades, look up the questions and see
how many you can answer.

RUBY WOMAN IS BADLY
FROZEN
Mrs. tlussie Rolan, a colored woman
40 years of age. well known In the
Ruby district, was found in a snow
drift on the Salatna river with both i
her feet badly frozen. She was found
opposite the little settlement known
as Salatna. For some time she has
been running a roadhouse on Poor
man creek. Dr. C.'onley has been called
from Dong creek to attend her. Ef
forts to thaw her frozen limhs have
been unsuccessful, and amputation
seems essential. It is thought that
death may result from her awful ex
perience.
The unfortunate woman is known
to be subject to fits of temporary in
sanity. and it seems to be the con
census of opinion that while she was
in one of these fits she wandered off.'
improperly clad, and that in her wan
derings she noticed the roadhouse
light and was trying to reach shelter,
when she fell over the bank into the
snow drift. She came to Poorman i
about a( year ago from Cripple creek.

Men lost their way right in the |
business district of Nome during the
big storm which swept all Alaska re
cently. (Ireat drifts arose in unex
pected places to the roofs of houses,
and not a few had to dig themselves
out who the night before had quite a
time "digging themselves in.”
WASHINGTON. Kelt. 15. — S. W.
Winslow, president of the United Shoe
Machinery Co., was the main witness
before the subcommittee of the Sen
ate judiciary committee in protest to
day against the confirmation of Wil
son's appointment of Louis D. Bran
deis to a place on the supreme court
bench of the United States. Winslow
told the senators that Brandeis had
been guilty of Improper conduct in his
attack against the United Shoe Ma
chinery Company as an illegal combi
nation In restraint of trade under the
Sherman Anti Trust Act. He said
that Brandeis, in his attack on the j
company’s alleged illegal acts, was!
fighting the very things he had as
slsted in when counsel for the con
cern. and whose officers he had ad
vised in their business dealings as
the company's attorney. Brandeis had
assisted In the creation of the com
pany. A prominent Boston attorney
also testified about the appointment,
stating that in his opinion Brandeis
was a very able lawyer, possessed of
a keen intellect, whose skill as an ad
vocate was too well known to need
comment, but despite all this, in the
opinion of the witness, Brandeis was
untrustworthy.
