TURN DOWN STATE
CONSERvATIONISTS

ST. PAUL.-Far Western delegates
to the National Conservation Congress
aver that they were not only barred
from the programme and discussions,
but also buncoed in the resolutions of
the congress. They say that the COM
mittee on resolutions promised a
clause treating of conservation within
strict contitutional limitations and
that the clause was included in Chair
man Pardee's reading of the resolu-
tions, but that it was omitted from
the published draft.
State conservation champions OF
Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Montana,
Wyoming, California, Colorado and
other states are indignant at what
they term bunco game and say 1t is a
sample of the whole programme of
knock-down-and-drag-out.
Throughout the congress Pinchor
foes of state conservation were on
guard to squelch every attempt of the
Western champions of home conserva-
tion to defend the needs of the people
of their pent-up Western states. The
congress was ruled by an iron hand,
which made things go just as Pincho'
partisans wanted them. Cover
Hay, of Washington, said that he will
probably call Western conservation
congress of governors and delegates
at Portland next spring.

ALASKA GOLD VALUED
AT $57,5OO STOLEN
Lead Pigs Are Substituted for
lngots While in Transit
to Seattle.

SEATTLE-Gold bullion valued at
S57.6O0, part of shipment of $470,000
from the Washington-Alaska Bank of
Fairbanks, Alaska, to the Dexter-Hor-
ton National Bank of Seattle, on the
steamship Humboldt. was stolen in
transit and lead substituted in the
strong box that had contained the
bullion.
The gold when 1t left Fairbanks
son and White Horse was contained
in three wooden boxes and was in the
care of the Alaska Pacific Express
Company. When the boxes were
opened by the Canadian customs off,
cials at Dawson the gold bars were
found to be as stated in the express
company's papers.
The boxes were opened again at the
United States assay office in Seattle,
and one contained pigs of lead, not Of
gold. The seals of the box were in
tact when 1t reached the office, and
It was evident that the robbery had
been committed by removing one
end of the box. The gold was in
sured eagainst loss by the express
company.
1t is supposed that the gold was
stolen ON the Yukon steamer between
Dawson and White Horse, or on the
steamer Humboldt between Skagway
and Seattle. There would have been
small opportunity for robbery in the
essay office or in the short railroad
run from White Horse to Skagway.
The gold weighed $50 pounds, and the
disposal Of such heavy plunder must
have required time and preparation.
The gold was In the purser's cabin
and 1t is not customary on the gold
ships to take elaborate precaution
against robbery.
Detectives working on the case have
made no arrests, and say they have
no clew on which to work.
