HOME
(Stroller’s Weekly).
On her southbound trip from the
westward Thursday the steamer Vic
; toria carried a passenger who was ev
i idently born to be lucky, a substantial
1 resident of the interior country where
| he has lived for many years. In Oc
i tober, 1918, he was in Skagway and
had a ticket on the steamer Princess
Sophia for the south. Another man
from the interior was also in Skagway
on his way south but owing to the
rush of travel, was unable to secure
passage on the Sophia. As his wife
had gone out a few weeks before with
the family roll, the snug sum of $30,
; 000, they having made a final clean-up
in the interior before leaving tlie
country for good and to settle in a fine
home they had already secured in a
prosperous community in t lie state of
, Washington, the man was particular
ly anxious to get away on the first
steamer leaving Skagway, which was
the Sophia.
j As the first man had not wife to
precede him to the outside and as he
had more time than anything else he
concluded that he might as well spend
a portion of that time in Skagway as
anywhere else so he transferred his
| steamer ticket to his friend who was
anxious to be on his way.
Everybody knows the fate of the
Princess Sophia on that trip and not
one of 249 people aboard survived to
tell the story.
A few days later the man who had
' transferred his ticket on the Sophia
to his friend, took another steamer
for the south and had an uneventful
voyage on which he congratulated him
1 self on his narow escape from the
fate of the one who traveled on the
| ticket he himself had purchased.
While this story is complete as it
now stands, there is more to it The
fortunate one of the two men very
naturally called on the widow of his
friend after reaching the outside. In
due time he called on her again—and
again. She is now his wife and when
the Victoria wTas in port here Thurs
day tied up awoiting the abating of
| the storm then raging, he was just
| as anxious to be on his way to join
! her at their fine home in the state
| of Washington as was his predeces
I sor five years ago last October.
ENORMOUS AMOUNTS OF
.GERMAN MARKS ARE
SOLD TO AMERICANS
LEIPZIG, Feb 7.—Money collectors
! in Germany, like the stamp collectors,
i have had their hands full this year,
j New notes, regular and otherwise,
have poured in on them from all side^
Thousands of issues of German marks
which became worthless as currency
within a few weeks of their appear
ance, have been accumulated by the
money collectors whose only rivals in
this respect were the garbage men or
the factories who sought the valueless
marks merely for the paper.
Collectors’ agents in Leipzig Ber
lin and other German cities have done
a land office business all summer and
fall among their foreign clients, some
of whom ordered marks by the pound.
The United States, it is estimated has
taken tons of the paper notes to be
sold in the streets by peddlers, or
given away as premiums with a ten
cent order.
In addition to the regulation notes,
freakish issues of marks from ev
erywhere, some of them especially de
signed to give the collectors a thrill.
These notes were good only in the
districts issued. Thousands of them
never reached the public at all be- j
: cause they passed directly into the;
| hands of the collectors.

of the Admiral Line, arrived on last;

COMMUNISM MAY SOON
DEVELOP INTO RELIGIOUS
DOCTRINE, IS THE CLAIM
MOSCOW, Feb. 7.—Rituals and ce- i
remonies for christenings, marriages |
and funerals are gradually creeping!
into the life of the Russian commun -
ists, and some students of Russian af
fairs see in this tendency a drifting of
Communism inlo what they say it in
evitably must become a religion.
There is no pure Communism prac
ticed in the daily life of Russia today,
not even among the members of th“
Communist party. It rests on a the
ory, as an ideal toward which cer
tain enthusiasts are striving, just as
religions of the past have remained
theories and only exceptionally have
been practiced.
“It is not a far cry," said one on
server recently “from Communist
•eremonies of christenings and mar
riages to regular ‘Labor Temples’ with
five pointed stars above them, instead
of churches bedecked with crosses.”
Leon Trotzky, the Soviet war
eommisar, wrote some months an
that Communism must provide some
thing to take the place of church
ceremonies. These had a hold on
the people, and were enjoyed. The
people, he said, would not be con
tent with marriages bare of cere
monly.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Krough, long
time residents of Anchorage, will ar
i rive in Seward about February 23rd,
and take the Victoria for the States,
where Mr. Krough expects to go into
the jewelry business. Mr. and Mrs.
Krough have resided in Alaska for
the past 19 years. He spent some
time in Nome, and Fairbanks and was
one of the original stakers on Sulli
van creek, at Tofty.
POTATOES AT 5 CENTS APIECE
Potatoes wrapped in tissue paper
like apples or pears and priced at five
cents each, are on sale in New' York
chain stores. A gentlemanly clerk in
forms you they are “blue ribbon pota
toes from Idaho.
For two of these potatoes the store
receives ten cents. In Idaho last year
where these potatoes were grown, one
grower received nine cents for eight
carloads of fancy selected stock, or a
cent less than the store received for 2
potatoes, after he had paid for the
sacks and freight.
Potatoes at five cents apiece should
interest Mr. Frank Wilson, Hammett,
Ida., who sold those 8 carloads for 9
cents, and other Idaho readers.
MAN KNOWN TO
MILLIONS NEGLECTED
AT HIS DEATH
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 7.—At one
time or another millions undoubtedly
knew Pierre Gasnier. For years he
was a “strong man” for one of the
largest circuses.
But 15 or 20 years ago he retired
from the sawdust tours to settle in
San Francisco. Here thousands or
of people of olden days knew him a
a new generation came to know
him. He made his living by giving
physical culture demonstrations and
selling his “system” on a down
town street corner. At this stand
he never missed a day. He called
himself “the strongest mao in the
world.’ Usually he had a little
knot of passers-by viewing bis mus
cles and listening to his friendly bad
inage. j
Gasnier’s little peddler's automobile!
became a landmark as familiar to
San Franciscans as Twin Peaks or
the Ferry Building. He was assisted
in his demonstrations by a Chinese
servant, his companion for many j
years.
One day recently the traffic po
liceman sensed something wrong
with the topography of the street. He
saw that Pierre Gasnier and his tiny
car were missing. The policeman
told headquarters. Headquarters in
vestigated and learned that Gasnier
