To Photograph Our Bears

A new species of big game hunt CT appeared in town recently, when J. Sullivan Cochrane, of Boston, arrived, and began his prepara- tions to go up the Stikine and Is- koot riyefs, last week, to hunt our big bears. He uses a camera in- stead of rife in his hunting, so none of the residents of the district envy him his task, as the bears must be within fifty yards or so to insure a good picture. MT. Coch- rane has made the photographing of wild life hobby for some time, and some of his pictures of birds in flight are truly marvellous. He expects to be gone several months, and will undoubtedly get his mon- ey's worth of thrills before he re- turns.

"Dunn" to e Finish.

Jeff Casson went hunting the other day; of course there was fothing unusual in that; but Jeff was playing in hard luck. On the 1ay out that famous Dunn engine of his bothered little, and Jeff vas unable to go to the place he had in mind, with the resuit~ that Ie didn't succeed in getting any fresh meat. Nor was that all; the Dunn engine dunn" him up, and he had to row home, so that he &C., 7i1ired blisteIs on his hands, but no venison.

Got Lost in the Fog.

It is fortunate that Capt. Bill" DuBois and F. Matheson had noth- Thg stronger aboard the good ship Zarembo than mineral water, oth- arwise local folk might be tempted 70 imagine that 1t was more than m unusually thick fog which caus- d them to get lost on the way sack from Mason's place on the Narrows, last Saturday night, and have to spend the night on the bri- hy deep waiting for the fog bank to roll away. That was what hap pened to them, Mrs. Dubois. Mrs. Matheson, Mrs. r. D. Cheney and little Miss Catherine Matheson, on their way back from a' very pleas ant week spent at St. Johns Har- DOT, Zarembo Island.

Wants the Sentinel.

We'll anyway, there's one man at least in Alaska who thoroughly ap- 6reciates the worth of the Sentinel.
 The first letters of his name are
 Billie" Richardson, and he wired clear over from the interior where he is now located at town that is ! nanlesake of his, (Richardson) ), 10 have his paper sent to that ad- dress as frst-class matter. We'd always known that the Sentinel was the clear thing in the newspaper line, but had been afraid that pos- sibly the rest of mankind might not agree with us; but that prepaid telegram and the first class postage le is willing to pay in addition to the regular subscription price, shows that there is one man at least who realizes the worth of the paper. And here's hoping that he will find more gold away up there than he can carry out in two trips.

Finely Modelled Boats.

Dad" Inman's boat shop is a very busy place these days, seven people being hard at work there when the Sentinel's editor made the place a call the other afternoon. F. C. Miles is putting the planking on his launch there, and Dad" and Capt. Terry, who recently came down from Petersburg, are working on a couple of trolling boats-two finely modelled little craft, After they are completed, Capt. Terry will lay down the frame of a 36 footer fishing launch which he will build for his own use, The captain is a very competent mechanic, and his work shows that he understands his business.

Frank & Graham had the mis-
fortune to get drowned out of
both holes and the drift on Sat-
urday last. They tapped an old
drift into which the creek had
cut a channel, and as a conse-
quence they now have the creek
running into their drift. They
lost some 600 buckets of good
pay that. they had thawed out
ready for hosting. 1t being too
late to sink a new hole, they will
busy themselves getting ready

it is they have some 5000 buckets

A dog sat out in the midnight
chill, and howled at the beaming
moon; his knowledge of music
was strictly nil, and his voice
was out of tune. And he hoWled
and howled as the hours went
by, while lodging the bricks we
threw, till the moon was tow in
the western sky, and his voice
was split in two. And there
wasn't a thing at which to howl,
over which a fool pup should
weep, and the course of the dog
was wrong and foul, for people
we're wild to sleep. There are
plenty of men like that blamed

WOUND IN DEAD FARMERS
HEAD POINTS TO MURDER
Wealthy Rahcher's Body Found on
Sidewalk Under Window of
Woman Suspect

SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. 5.-The life
less body Of Andrew Anderson, rich
farmer from Peone Prairie, was found
at daybreak today on the sidewalk in
front of the Lang hotel. A deep cash
in the back of his head is considered
proof of murder.
Directly above the body was the win
dow of the room occupied by Mrs.
Emil Johnson, who, with her two chill
dren had been at Anderson's ranch for
fortnight, coming to town with him
yesterday. The woman has been in
trouble frequently, and the court had
taken her children from her custody,
giving them to Anderson and his wife
to care for.
Mrs. Johnson and her husband were
arrested and taken to iail. The theory
! of the police is that Anderson was
killed in a quarrel over the woman or a
dispute about their children, whom she
was trying to recover. Anderson leaves
widow and ten children.

Sends Corn-A singular feature
of the cargo of the Japanese steamer
Tango Maru, which arrived at Seattle
Wednesday from the Orient, was
shipment of 1000 bags of corn. The
consignment is an export from Man
churian growers, and is said to be the
first importation of corn ever brought
to America from the Orient. The con-
sgnor is T. Fujita of the Japanese
brokerage firm of Fujita & Co, who
was a passenger on the Tango Maru.
He states the shipment was for local
use, probably to be manufactured into
corn starch 1t is said the Manchuria-
grown corn has valuable properties for
this use. and a heavy future trade is
predicted upon the success in manu-
facture of the initial shipment.

TWO MEN HELD FOR
KIDNAPPING BABES
PARENTS OF CHILDREN WILL
PROSECUTE
Police Intercept Letter from Chicago
Advising Pagano to Leave
Trunks Alone as Detectives
Are Watching Them

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 5.-Rumors that the
Vivianos, fathers Of Grace and Tomas
so Viviano, who were kidnapped from
their homes here Monday, were COM
municating secretly with the children's
alleged abductors, were dispelled to-
day by Pietro Viviano who called at
the police station and told Captain
Schoppe he would prosecute the abduc-
tors.
He told the police he and his cousin
did not have $4,000, the amount de-
manded as a ransom.
The police are holding Joseph Pa
gano and Lamayrea Giroloma, the lat
ter having confessed last night that
Pagano, Marchesi, Benedetto and
Samuel Turrsi, who was last seen with
the children, and Vincenzo Ricardo ar
ranged with him last Sunday to have
the trunks which were found in Chi
cago hauled to an express office here.
When Pagapo was told of Giroloma' S
confession, he pleaded ignorance and
begged to be allowed to end his life.
A letter which came into the pos
session of the police today is believed
to be the first communication received
in ST. Louis from the kidnapers since
the father of Grace Viviano received
the $4,000 ransom letter.
The letter was addressed to Joseph
Pagano, one of the men held on sus-
picionn 1t came from Chicago and the
writer tells Pagano he cannot claim
"the trunks" because the police are
watching them.
The police will not divulge the name
of the writer.

RAILROADS OBJECT
TO SPOKANE DICTA
OFFICIALS CLAIM THEY WILL
FIGHT DECISION
State, intermediate Points Are Not
Entitled to Terminal Rates Be-
cause Too Much Precedence
VIII Be Given

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 5.-After
ten days of discussion the freight
agents of the Southern Pacific, Santa
Fe and other transcontinental railroads
announced today they had decided to
fight the affirmation of the Spokane de-
cision and its extension to apply to
other intermediate points.
George w. Luce, general freight
agent of the Southern Pacific company,
stated when the matter is taken up at
Spokane next October his company
and the Santa Fe would contest the at
titude of the northern railroads which
favor the granting of terminal rates to
intermediate points. A battle royal
was expected at the meeting.
Luce declared his company took the
position that intermediate points are
not entitled to terminal rates; that to
grant such rates would be to open a
vast field to the manufacturers of the
middle west heretofore reserved for
western enterprises. He said in view
of the water competition on the coast
the present policy of forcing intermedi-
ate points to pay rates to the coast,
plus local freight back, was considered
fair and reasonable by the Southern
Pacific and Santa Fe, whereas the
northern roads favored a proposal to
limit the distributing area on the
coast to a narrow strip paralleling the
shore line.
