Watching those bees was tin haruest work the natives over did ? their v.s. They had never seen j hottev bees before. This -ton \va- given to (leorge Sex- j ton In pc put y Marshal Kyan of lvenai j who was in Seward a few* days ago. He confessed also that he learned as j touch about bees as the Indians for he , had never seen that kind of birds be-j for.. Wlien he lirst saw them buzzing about he thought they were moose flies and began knocking them on the head | w;?h a -tick. Pretty soon Mr. Warren noticed Ids antics and came running to \ inquire: “What you doin' there?" “Killing these moose tlies.' said Kyan. “They’re around pretty early this year.” •‘Moose Hies hell! Them's honey bo**-." said the proprietor of the! -rock. Then lie led Kyan over to the j hives and showed him enough to satis fy a Missourian, f’he native- soon be gan to take notice and they did noth ing else until the bee man gat hered up j his bee stands like the Arab and; silent!y stole away. V Johns, one of the Blakely party of railroad engineers, reports that j Wmri'ti and hi- bees were in l yoonok a-: Tuesdav when the engineers left.. W announced that he was bound for the Ventnu. Pi mk Watson savs Warren's arri val is anxiously awaited by the - ......Ji- who knew him in *bs. In that year Warren turned up from no ; where, apparently, lost, strayed or stolen, for he knew not where he was at and the l»oys had to load him on a beat and send him outside. They j tl.might then that he had rotating! machinery in his occiput but since; tl ey have heard that he is a bee fan*, cier they incline to the belief that he had hi> stock in his head when he wandered aimlessly into their camp. Wh n Warren left Seward it was his j announced intention to invade the Yentna valley and set his bees up in I business among the nectared flora abounding in that fruitful land. He I intended to take up a homestead and cultivate thereon a vine and tig tree ! for his own shelter and repose, and to exchange the honey accumulated by his bees for the gold nuggets extracted by the miners from the creeks. The ! outcome is anxiously awaited by a i large circle of curious persons. Bee Man Morrell Warren has stirred i up a hornet's nest of gossip and re ; tninisct nces by invading Central Alas ka with his (lock. Now comes Col. : Revell and states that in 1898 the Glenn expedition, of which the colonel was a member, encountered Mr. War ren on the Susitna and towed him 1 around for a while. He had no bees then and very little raiment except I his whiskers. He was also very hun gry when lie was discovered by the Glenn party. Omer Patten sees disaster ahead for Warren’s bees if they go too far north. He calls attention to the fact that the j bees work from sunrise to sunset, which will compel them to labor over time anywhere in Alaska, in the sum mer. If they should go a degree or two above the Arctic circle they will tind one day several weeks long. If you are wearing 3 suit of clothes that looks like last year’s bird’s nest it is because you did not buy it from (Jlayson. the clothier. * A. P.
