HOTEL WITHOUT
GUESTS EXPECTED TO CLEAN UP
WHEN THEY GO, AND DE
POSIT PAYMENT
j TOIvIO, Feb. 6.—Paris, New York
and other great cities of the world
have their sell' operating lunch rooms
other places ol importance have their
various automatic devices where a
: customer merely pushes a button and
receives the purchase he desires. Put
it remains lor Japan to begin the
operation during this Winter season
ol the self-operating hotel, a place
where there is neither garcon, nor
maitre de hotel, where the table boy,
the bath boy and the dozen or more
k other varieties of servants are ab
j solutely lacking.
B The Japanese self-operating betel
was inaugurated during the month of
November by the keepers of moun
i tain inns in the north of Tokio—inns
called upon by the Winter mountain
climber and in every Winter in the
past closed to business. These moun
tain inns, in the “Japanese Alps ’
a section where beautiful scenery
abounds, are popular all during the
Summer months, as Japanese go to
them, in crowds, and many foreigners
atlracted by the scenery and delight
ful climate, spend their vacations
climbing among the mountains. In
! past Summers it has been customary
I to close the mountain inns after a
successful Summer’s business had
been concluded, and consequently,
those who have traveled through the
Japanese Alps in the Winter have
had to seek shelter in huts or wher
ever they could find it.
This year the inns, minus pro
prietors and staffs, will have the
latchkeys out. The guests, arriving
after a hard tramp through the
mountains will find a wrell-stocked
bin of charcoal for the tiny Japan
ese stoves, clean rooms which they
will be expected to leave as clean as
they find them, and a well-stocked
larder, which will provide them with
all necessities in the way of food
stuffs.
A price list will announce the
price of each son of canned goods
in a big pantry, and the price per
scuttle of charcoal, and all the other
aitides which will be available. When
'tie guests leave It will be up to them
Iiu ut-pwhu me mu: ey iur me amount
nf goods ihey have used, and what
they thi.ik is rl^i for their hotel
bill, in a big metal money box, wm-L
9 will stand in a : orner of the office,
a Skiing, mountain climbing and lo
| hoggan.nlng in the snow around Kam
2 ikochi have become more and more
| popular ’.n North Japan, and around
| his cent;** will operate these self
| operating Inns. The inn-keepers in
1 and around Kamikochi are in hopes
I that their self-operating inns will
F do a thriving business during the
> Winter months and inn-keepers in
other parts of Japan are watching
this new venture, with the idea of
adopting the system if it proves suc
cessful in the north.

cation of the Volstead Act, it is an
nounced by Austin G. Fox, Chairman

TEN INCHES OF SNOW
RECORDED JUNEAU, 24 HOURS
Since tlie past few days the temper- I
ature in Juneau has risen from 7 to j
17 degrees, and the moderated weath- |
er had been accompanied by a snow
fall of approximately 19 inches, ac
cording to Observer R. C. Mize, ot tlie
Juneau Weather Bureau station. It
was predicted that the temperature
would continue to rise slowly in the
next 24 hours, but no radical change
wras expected to take place in that
i time.
The peak of the high atmospheric
pressure which has prevailed over
Interior Alaska and particularly in the
upper Yukon regions for several days
has moved west and south and now
apparently entered over the upper
Mississippi Valley region, said Ob- j
server Mize. However the pressuie ^
remains high in the upper Yukon.

A public reception in Green’s hon
or was held on the occasion of the

BLACKFEET INDIANS
ARE ARISTOCRATIC
great falls, F°b. r- ui:ickreei
Indians of Glacier National Park Res
ervation. Montana, have shown more j
progress toward self-support than any i
other tribe in the United States, ac-!
cordintg to the Department of Indian
Affairs.
The Blackfeet Indians, in their
wild life were the aristocrats of
the red race, living as they did in
the shadows of the Rocky Mountains
where buffalo and deer always found
the greenest pastures. This fur- j
nished the Blackfeet with the best j
food and clothing supply offered
by nature any place upon the face
( of the earth.
Adverse weather conditions of re
cent years affected the Blackfeet in j
their civilized confines of reserva- j
tion life, but they now have come i
back through their agriculture ef-j
forts and today raise the best of
food for their own use. Under ar
rangements now in effect with the
tribe, the Government has purchased
200 heifers, 500 sheep, 300 pigs and
100 chickens for distribution among
the tribe.
Last fall five threshing machines
| were used to thresh the grain raised
by the Indians on the Blackfeet Res
j ervation. Two flour mills are in
