of land, The work is progressing
finely under Mr.. Newton's charge. He
informed US that the State had appli-

particular spot for this school.

A Mighty Cariboo slayer.

Victoria Times.
Perhaps no one disciple of Nimrod can
point to like success in the chase as
has been experienced by Mr.. James Por-
ter, of Hilbert creek, Cassiar, who un-
der all circumstances is credited with be-
ing a capital shot. While on a hunting
excursion during the winter Of 1928,
in company with Mr.. Charles Cameron,
both Of whom were armed with Win
chesters, and the cold being 40 to so de-
grees below zero, they came on q band
Of thirteen cariboo browsing on the
bushes which are to be found on the
mountains above the timber line. CAM
eron took one direction, while Porter
made a circle to take advantage of the
ridge, 80 that he might get within shot,
which he succeeded in doing, and fired
his first shot at $50 yards, which counted
one baggsd. The band then started on
a run, and before they got out of reach
he had sped % bullets among them, kill
ing nine and wounding the tenth severe
ly. Night coming on they had to gather
the slain, SO the wounded cariboo could
not be followed, but when the carcasses
were skinned it was discovered that the
nine we're hit nineteen times out of the
% shots fired.
Last winter Mr.. Porter, while out
with Mr.. B. Sullivan on sporting trip,
came on band of some fifteen or six
teen cariboo on the mountains at the
head OF Dease creek, and eclipsed all his
former feats OF craftsmanship Owing
to the nature of the mountain side on
which they were feeding, Porter CO uld |
not possible get nearer to them than 500 |
yards. SO he quietly adjusted the sight |
for that range. dropped on one knee, and |
at the crack Of his rifle. there was one !
cariboo less. AT the soun1 of the first |
shot they commenced running, and be-
fore they got out Of range, Mr. Sullivan
Gays there were seven lying almost equal
distance apart. Alr. Porter told the
writer that he did not take time to raise
his rifle sight as the distance increased,
but that he held at the top of the back
of the last two which he shot.

Greece and Turkey
Brooklyn Daily EAGLE.

There appears to be now no doubt OF
the determination of the powers to com
pei Greece to disarm. it was time that
the farce which has for some time been
played in the waters of the Egean Sea
and about the Turkish frontier was
brought to an end. The interviews which
were published with the Greek Prime
Minister, Mr.. Delyannis, and with his pre-
decessOr in Office, Mr.. Tricoupis, did not
afford much encouragement to those who
had hoped for a peaceful solution of ex-
listing difficulties. The Premier was as
uncompromising in his attitude as it was
possible for man to be, and he claimed
that his country, having been unjustly de-
frauded of her rights under the Treaty of
Berlin, will not be satisfied. The Berlin
Congress voted Greece a certain frontier,
which they recommended to both coun-
tries, and the treaty also provided that,
IN case Turkey and Greece could not
come to a satisfactory conclusion on the
subject, the great powers should under
take the task. Turkey and Greece were
unable to come to any agreement, al
though they discussed the question very
fully in 1878 and 1879. Then the Greeks
invoked the aid of the great powers, and
they were represented at Berlin in 1880
by delegates who traced the line of from
tier which Greece now claims. Greece ac-
cepted this frontier, but Turkey made no
reply, and after the matter had again
been brought to the attention of the
Turkish Government by the powers, Tur-
key refused it. Then the six great pow
ers suggested more southerly frontier to
Greece, which the latter excepted, but re-

His First and Only Love.
Texas Siftings.

Miss Birdie McGinnis has been paying
a great deal of attention to Tom Anjerry
a student of the university of Texas. Her
affection has been reciprocated very lib
orally by Tom. Still Birdie is not quite
sure that Tom is a safe young man to tie
to, SO she proceeds to cross examine the
witness, so to speak.
''You still love me as devotedly as ever,
Tom?"
E'Why shouldn't I love you Birdie? You
are my first and only love-"
'How about that red-headed girl you
went out riding with when you were in
Dallas last week? Is she also your first
and only lover"
'tNo," REPLIED Tom calmly, "she is not
my first and only love. She is my second
and only love-"

as he walked out through the front gar
