TSINGTAO, China, April 23—Shan
tung: province again is exercised over
the boldness and cruelty of local ban
dits; and the recent murder of S. S.
Keh, a Chinese industrial railroad en
gineer, has attracted more attention
than any event since outlaws last year
wrecked the Tien-tsin express and cap
tured a number of foreigners.
Keh, who is be'ieved to have been a
graduate of the Massachusetts Insti
tute of Technology, was taken by ban
dits. Seven weeks later a ransom of
$15,(100 was paid in his behalf, but he
was killed after the money had been
turned over to the robbers.
The latter part of January 10C ban
dits, feeling the pinch of cold and of
hunger, swooped down on a native vil
lage to loot it. A heroic chief of po
lice at the head of eighteen men, drove
i them eft after a fight in which fifteen
! of the jobbers were slain,
j About the same time a force of sol
J diers long unpaid turned brigand and
looted the nearby city of Fengtzu, rob
bing the banks, provision shops and
lmber and coal yards , From a colliery
they demanded fiften carloads of coal.
The manager took to his heels to save
himself and the bandits helped them
| selves. Sailors and marines in port
have proved troublesome, but so far
have not turned bandit.
In China it is not unusual for a man
to be a defender of law and order one
| day and a rampaging bandit on the
i next. It all depends upon whether the
| lice bowl is being frequently replen
1 ! ishc-d or not .

j road, which passed south of Baker
1 crater, and touches McKenzie pass
j slope, will mean that in the future the
highway across the summit of the Cas
( cad<^s will not be blocked by thous
1 ands of sheep as has been the case oc
casionally in the past, according to
forest officials.
> Tim opening of the Scott trail is one
phase of the extensive improvements
which will be made in the national for
, ests in that section. The improvements
1 will consist of road building, trail eon
struction, erection of a fortv-foot steel

Fresh Pig’n Whistle candy, Schal
lerer’s Alaska Shop. tf.
! Once back in the days when Alaska
was a wilderness, one of the small
towns of today was a flourishing min
ing camp. This certain winter for two
! or three weeks there had been no fresh
1 meat brought in by native hunters and
j as this was the staple food of the
i people, the dearth caused much dis
i comfort and grumbling .As most of
the miners were working for a corpor
ation, they naturally blamed it for the
deficiency and the mine superintendent
was hard put to keep his men from :
quitting.
The situation, which may seem lu-!
dicrous was in realty growing more |
serious each day until it appeared des
perate to the harassed superintendent j
who made daily trips to the local dis- j
penser of fresh game w'ith inquiries as j
to whether the natives had secured
any meat.
Now the butcher, “Alaska Jones,” '
was a thorough Yankee and was pos- j
I sessed of proverbial Yankee shrewd- !
' ness so he made plans whereby the
! famine would be rclievd and also inci
j dentally fill his pocketbook.
1 That night his native workers took
! his half dozen pack mules out in the
woods and next morning returned with j
a supply of fresh meat which appear- j
ed to be perfectly good venison. When !
word reached the mine of the fresh
meat the super!ntendnt immediatly |
went to the butcher shop and arrang
ed for the greater portion at a fancy
price. Everybody was feeling better as
the meat famine was broken, yet it
seemed to a few customers that “Al
aska” grinned overmuch when serving
them even if he were doing some fine i
business.
The next morning the butcher shop j
was closed and “Alaska nowhere to be ;
seen, so the people investigated and ;
breaking open the door of the shop the 1
first thing to greet their eyes was six j
fresh mule hides and it was then the |
unsuspecting miners first discovered'
the trick played on them and the rea-!
son for “Alaska’s” mirth of the day
before.—Pirre De Cille in Northern j
Lights.
