SOME PURITAN CUT-UPS
Those who depend on the regular
historical works of the school-book
type no doubt have formed the idea
that the Puritan forefathers (and
foremothers) of New England wrere
about as perfect as folks could be.
The inconoclasts have been at
work again, however, and have dug
up some old records which appear to
show that human nature was about
the same in the old days as it is at
present. A recent writer quotes at
length from a Massachusetts court
docket of 1646, of wThich a fewr
sample cases are given as follows:
Henry Walton fined for saying
he would as leave hear a dog bark
as to hear Reverend Cobbel preach.
John Studley fined for stealing his
master’s ox and selling it to him.
Thomas Gray of Marblehead whip
ped for being overseen in drink.
Philip Crumwell fined for not liv
ing with his wife.
William Claus whipped for spying
into the chamber of his master and
telling what he sawr.
Charles Phillips fined for being in
drink three times in two days.
Mrs. Griffith fined for swrearing.
Sarah Parrige fined for wearing
a silk hood.
Sarah Collins fined for railing at
her husband and calling him “a pot
gutted divell.”
FIGHTING THE BUS
An interesting situation lias devel
oped in Oklahoma, in which the Mis
souri, Kansas and Texas railroad is
waging war on motor bus lines re
cently established in teritory it
serves. The railroad is even circu
lating a petition asking the people
to stand by it as against the busses,
in the matter of pasenger traffic.
This action is said to have met
with little response on the part of
the public, although sentiment ap
pears to favor giving the railroad
the first chance to operate bus lines
as a supplemental service, if it so
desires. But the people want the
busses to continue, regardless of who
owns them.
Street railways in many cities have
complained of jitney and motor bus
competition, in some cases succeed
ing in barring them from the streets
to a certain extent.

WASHINGTON MAN
BELIEVES ALASKA
GOOD FOR STOCK
Milo Still, formerly a pioneer resi
dent of Eastern Washington, now at
Kodiak, passed through Seward on the
Admiral Evans yesterday on his way
to the States. Mr. Still has spent the
past two years in Alaska investigat
ing the possibilities of raising live
stock in southwestern Alaska and in
pursuit of his investigations worked
on the experimental farms at Mata
nuska, Kodiak and on farms of pri
vate individuals as a hired laborer.
He was very enthusiastic over the
possibilities for stockmen of the pio
neer class who would not attempt to
overreach their ability to shelter and
care for stock in beginning. He said
Alaska was being done permanent
harm by wildcat promoters who brot
j more stock here than could be prop
j erly sheltered and cared for, before
they had thoroughly mastered their
environment and conditions. Mr. Still
declared that there are oceans of good
stock feed going to waste here, but
stock needs a dry place to sleep and
ample shelter from storms, as well as
feed and experienced caretakers.
When asked about the possibilities
for sheep raising, Mr. Still said the
qualities of our feed and mutton were
both good, but that sheep were not
a wet-weather animal, and could be
profitably kept in well-sheltered, small
to medium bands, but that there was
more of a future in the hay business,
and more natural forage along the sea
and small streams for hogs than is
commonly believed. The hog belongs
to a water and mud-loving family and
is better suited to the wet climate of
Alaska than sheep, but even the hog,
after rooting all day in the rain, must
have a dry place to sleep.
There is also a better outlook for
cattle and horses than for sheep as
the haired animals dry out quicker
than whose with wool and must come
before other animals less adapted to
climatic conditions. The wooled ani
mals are better adapted to wind and
cold.
Settlers in Alaska should follow the
colony and co-operative plan in settling
and marketing their stock, and not ex
pect too much and to do too big things
at first. But there are all kinds of op
portunities for the experienced stock
men who can pioneer and adapt them
selves to the country in southwestern
coastal Alaska.
Mr. Still said he was returning to
Revere, Washington, to bring his fam
ily and spend his days in Alaska. In
conclusion he said: “Slow but safe and
sure must be our future policy. Keep
out and frown down the wildcatter.
His failures are bad advertising for
real merit.’'
MINER SWINDLED,
BRINGS IN HIS MAN
LOS ANGELES, May 20 (£>)—Sam
Knezovich, a miner at Randsburg, was
swindled out of his savings by John
Dropulich. Knezovich told the police

him in if you can find him.” He ap
