Shortages Under Warmers Admin.

Than $4,000.
Investigators Figures Based on
Sworn Affidavits and Off
cial Reports.

If Oil Inspector John A. McDermott
was CRATER, Oil Inspector Fenton G..
Warner was certainly a bigger Que.
At least such is the conclusion to be
drawn from a report submitted to
Governor Johnson this week by Pub
lie Examiner Schaefer.
McDermott was democratic APP
pointee and in two years managed to
get away with a trifle over $4,000 that
belonged to the state.
Warner was republican Office hol-
der and in the same length of time
helped himself to nearly twice that
amount.
McDermott refunded his. The ques-
ton now arises, will Warner also
make good.
The man who Investigated the ac
counts and books of the one. had
charge of the investigation of the
other.
In his report to the chief executive
Mr.. Schaefer says that Of the total
amount of ST., 010 charged up to Mr..
Warner, s5,S26.43 is unquestionable
shortage since it exists in discrepan-
cies between moneys shown to have
been collected by Mr.. Warner that
should have gone to the state treasury
and the amounts actually paid over te
the state.

looked upon by the enlisted men as one or the
pleasantest features of the service. Early IN
the winter the new men taken out to Capitol

Mammoth Hotel remembers. The new man
finds himself in a rather ticklsh position. on

well over his shoulders into the chilly mess.
He is pulled out and instructed how to 'cOrdu-

ably goes further before the fall.
But the men take to this practice with the
enthusiasm of children trying the SledS that
Santa Claus brings them. Therefore, it is not
long before the new soldier the recently ac-
duired scout is able to make the slide as
can not only skim down the snow of the
hill, but they finish their run with a reSOundlng
collision of the ski tips at the very front door
of the hotel. This is the final test of actual
running. Besides, however there are jumping
contests the slope and many man is
bruised and cut by the novice just behind who
lands on him when he has fallen. But this
is fun the soldier knows it, and is regarded

game preserve in the world would be hand-

Nearly everybody who has spent any time in
Canada in the winter months knows that ski
running is a sport second only to tobogganIng
IN popularity. Comparatively few persons who
have been in the northern woodland have used
skis for anything hut sport. That is, they have
turned to the webbed snoWshOe for hunting
purposes But still the ski is more than toy
to be used only for hill sliding and jumping.
Up in the Yellowstone National Park there
ere to-day scores Of soldiers and scouts WHO
.,se the ski daily and who without it would be
almost untitled for their duties. These men.
who patrol Uncle Sans great Out-of-doors
nena eerie and ward off poachers have found
by hard experience that in their work the ski
is the best means of locomotion in winter. The
snowshoe was tried and abandoned. OF course,
trampng in rubber boots "felts was out Of
the question: and so the ski was tried and was
not found wanting.
The use of the ski was established by Cap
tain Anderson, who was in command of the
Yellowstone post in 1896, and since then ever!
