REPORT IS NOT CREDITED.
Statement Tint Canadian Mounted
Police Are to BE Sent Into
POrcupine Country.

Washington, July I'm the alb
sence of official information confirm
ing the report that Canadian mounted
police are to be sent into the Porcu-
pine country, which is now claimed by
both the United States and Canada, the
state department attaches no credit to
the report. 1t is pointed out that our
government withheld garrison from
Pyramid Harbor in that section. at
the simple suggestion from the Brit
ish authorities, and it is not conceiv-
able to the authorities here that per-
manent force is to be maintained in
the 'Porcupine district.
The British embassy also gives no
credit to the story.
London, July 12.--The officials of the
colonial Office, when questioned Tues
day regarding the special dispatch
from Washington published in New
York newspaper, saying the Canadian
government had decided to send body
of mounted police to the Porcupine re-
gion, near Lynn canal, in Alaska, to
maintain order, which, it was init
mated, would result in the government
of the United States sending troops to
occupy Pyramid Harbor, absolutely
denied that there was any possibility
of Canada contravening Great Brit
aims pledge to keep out Canadian po-
lice from the disputed strip if the
United States government agreed not
to send troops to Pyramid Harbor. The
colonial officials added that it any po-
lice had been dispatched 1t would be
found that they are the regular reliefs
for the northwest posts, and that GER
tainly no other forces had been dis
patched to Alaska.

Men Are Wanted.

That there is scarcity of laboring
men in Iowa is again proven. NJ. Sulli-
van, who has contract to do some
grading for the Northwestern Railway
company at Odebolt, was in Clinton,
trying to hire men with teams. He
offered $3.50 day, yet was unable to
secure but little help. He advertised
in the daily papers for men and teams,
but all appeared to be busy. 1t is an
unusual thing to go over hundred
miles to secure help at such tempting
wages and then be disappointed.
