SEEKS HER BROTHER

Fearing that some misfortune
has befallen her brother, James
Fuller, who was in Spokane over
three months ago on his way home
to Vancouver, B. c., Valahcha Full.
Ter has written to the Spokane po-
lice, asking that a search be made
for him.
The girl seems confident that her
brother was starting for home
when he wrote to her under date OF
March 20, but he has never arrived
there. She describes him as being
about five feet nine inches tall and
weighing about 1877 pounds. HIS
face bore pox marks.

WATCH USE
OF S|LENCER
NEW NOiSELESS METHOD OF
~ FIRING GUNS MEANS MORE
WORK FOR THE STATE GAME
WARDENS.

The new Maxim gun silencer
threatens to invade the field Of
sports, and game wardens are try
ing to keep cases on the sale of the
continuance that reduces the report
of firearm to a mere puff. Use
OF the silencer would make the de-
lection of Illegal hunting more diff
ficult than at present, and there is
plenty of work for the warden un-
der present conditions. 1t would
also give an unfair advantage over
the game, as there would be no re-
port to warn survivors of the first
fire.
Game Warden Uhlig of Spokane
county says that none of the ST.
lencers has been sold In this city.
to his knowledge. He, with other
wardens of the state, is keeping
what surveillance he can on stores
that deal in firearms. The war
dens cannot prevent sale of the 81
lencer, but they can keep a record
of names and addresses of pur-
chasers.
In number of states there is a
penalty for using the silencer for
unlawful purpose and the wardens
take the view that the only lawful
purpose of the Maxim invention is
use In warfare. Genuine sports
men and periodicals.. devoted to
hunting are pushing a campaign
against the silencer.

FIRST ALFALFA CUT

The cutting of the new alfalfa
crop has begun in the Palouse
country. The crop is fine, stand
ing well on the ground and having
made rank growth.
The ground is full of moisture
and farmers are anxious to get the
first crop off the ground so that a
second may start before the hot,
dry season begins.
A big crop of alfalfa and other
tame grasses means much this
year to the farmer. A high price
Is expected, for no one will cut any
more grain for hay than is abso-
lutely necessary.
