 New York, Dec. 6-Balked in their attempt to avoid payment of duty on goods purchased abroad, by the recent rigorous enforcement of the law at the port of New York, Ameri- can smugglers are now operating by way of the Canadian border. Positive information to this effect 'having reached Collector Loeb, he passed it along to the Treasury Department, with the result thst a wide net has been spread and it is understood that many arrests are impending.
 Heretofore, inspectors have made but cursory examination of goods brought from Europe, by way of Canada, but from now on it is in. tended that all baggage will be carefully examined and actual seiz- ures will be the rule instead of as in the. past. The big trains of the Atlantic lines have reported a bis increase in the traffic from Montreal to Quebec. @
 Although the fines and seizure val ues on goods taken at this port dur ing the last year were record break CTS. the Federal judges seemed dis posed to let offenders off with fines instead Of prison sentences. However a concerted protest by the collector and surveyor of the port of New York and the United States District Attorney. resulted in a declaration from Judge Hand that, hereafter, he would send offenders to prison Az soon as this statement was made pub- lie. smuggling practically ceased at this port. Simultaneously, came the increase in the passenger traffic Of the Canadian lines, especially so far as the first class baggage was con- cerned. Agents of the Department of Justice and the Treasury Department, abroad, reported back to this coun- try, that Americans who had made big purchases of valuable goods, es- pecially jewelry, were booking pas sage for home, by way of Canada, making the excuse that the New York bound steamers were uncom- fortably crowded.
 Investigat on revealed the plan of operation. Incoming tourists would stop for a day or two in one of the big Canadian cites. Baggage would be sent to the hotel and there the steamship labels would be soaked off.

John said Yas- mar punched him and fell in the street. He den ed striking a blow. But Yasmar had him arrested and today John was fined $10 and costs, which coming on top of the loss of his damage suit yesterday left him quite depressed.
 He confessed that he feared he might be called upon to pay another fine for assaufting Yasmar before the week is over.

 Seven of the bills bearing on the conservation of natural resources | submitted to Congress by the Presi- | dent in the last session were held up
 by committees: At least some of these | " Il be brought up for passage. A bill to have locomotive boilers 1 examined by government inspectors was the subject of investigation by a Senate committee last spring. It has strong support, and an effort will be
 made to have it passed. The railroad companies are bitterly opposed to the bill.
 Alaska is hard problem The
 present government consists of a governor appointed by the President and Congress acting as a territorial Legislature. A better form of gov
 ernment is greatly needed. The pop ulation is so scattered. however, and the interests of widely separated sec tions so varied that it has not been possible to devise a satisfactory plan. The administration formulated a b Il last session. but it received so hos tile @ reception by the Senate that it
 
 consideration.
 = There is great need for the develop ment of coal lands. at least to the extent of supplying the people of Alaska. Residents of towns located only a few miles from rich coal fields are required to pay SIS a ton for coal
 brought from British Columbia. An
 effort will be made to pass a bill
 opening up some of the coal lands on
 leases that will protect the govern nlent and assure reasonable prices to consumers.
 Railroads are also needed for the development of the territory, and bills to provide for their construction will be in the legislative grist of busi- ness.
 President Taft is on record as be- ing in favor of combining all govern ment agencies for the promotion of l public health into a Bureau of Pub lie Health. A bill to carry out the plan is pending in Congress and has been the subject of a vigorous fight l that has prevented it's passage. It's opponents claim that the creation of control by certain school of medi- cine and that 1t would be a doc tors trust.''
 Senator Hepburn (Rpn. Idaho) is | chairman of the committee on manu- features. the members of which spent
  tion of the storage of food. He VII present a bill to regulate storage. It is complicated subject because, while some kinds of food deteriorate in storage in a few months, others will keep in good condition for years. A feature of the session will be the report of the Congressional commis- sion that conducted the Ball nger- P nchot investigation. The report of the minority of the committee has been made public, and it is expected hat the majority will be heard from very early in the session. Reports will be received from the Senate Committee that is investiga- ting the alleged third degree meth oG of extorting information from pri- soners and a House committee that has been making an inquiry into charges that certain lawyers plan to extract three million dollars or more in attorney fees from Indians of the Five Civilized tribes.

recommendation of Chief Barlow. word
was sent to headquarters that four
heads had dropped, effective at once.
George Harris was at home when
Lieutenant Shannon advised him that
he was out. He appeared at the coun-
ell chamber a few minutes later, look
ing for Chief Barlow. He interviewed
all of the councilmen. and said that
he had not been reprimanded by the
chief, aside from the general repri-
mands that have come to all members
of the force.
"I don't know what Barlow has
against me-" said Harris. mo one has
worked harder for the party or for
the department than 1 and 1 was sur
prised when I learned that had been
fired
None of the others was seen last
night Chief Barlow had given none
of them a chance to resign, as in the
case of l. B. Eddy. a few days pre-
vious, although ii is said that Price
and Rhodes had a suspicion that they
were to be let out.
Following the action of the council
last night a member of the police and
prisons committee stated that Chief
Barlow has the designations of other
members of the force, and that within
short time there will be other dismis-
sails, come of which will reach higher
up than the man on the beat.

Salt Lakers on Trains.
OGDEN Is ALMOST OFF
THROUGH RAILROAD MAP
fsneciaI 70 The HeraId-Republican)

Especial to The Herald Republican,
Ogden, Feb. 2S.-Because of blizzards
in Wyoming and washouts in Nevada, the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific rail-
roads, forming the principal transcon-
tinental line of America, were abandoned
all of today, and from present indications
through traffic will not be resumed for
several days. Hundreds of feet of road
bed between Winnemucca and Battle
Mountain, on the Southern Pacific, have
been washed out, tying up traffic com
pletely. Trains Nos. 2 4, and 10, from
the west have been annulied, and train
No. l, from the east, arrived tonight,
nearly II hours late. The worst blizzard
of the year in Wyoming has demoralized
the Union Pacific schedules.
For the first time in many years Ogden
saw a day go by with no train from the
east or west passing through the union
depot The only trains operating through
this city today are one Oregon Short
Line train from the north, and the local
trains between Salt Lake and Ogden.
Traffic over the Rio Grande was also
tied up for six hours owing to storms in
Colorado.
The trouble began last Friday. when
sudden thaW sent the small creeks of
Humboldt valley, in Nevada, on destruc-
tive rampages. Every stream in that re-
gion is a raging torrent and pieces of
track all the way from Winnemucca to
Battle Mountain are giving way intermit-
tently. East of Winnemucca the water
from the hills has formed an artificial
lake, many miles in extent, with the road
bed of the Southern Pacific in the middle.
To the east the trouble begins at
Echo Utah, and extends to Green River,
where raging billiards and heavy snow
fall have played havoc with the Union
Pacific Reports from Wyoming points
this afternoon are to the effect that
sheep and cattle men are losing the ma
iority Of their live stock.

THE DEPARTMENT
-Four PatroImen Are "Fired"
From Force With Sum-
mary Notice.
NO REASONS ARE GIVEN
BARLoW's ONLY WORD is "FoR
GOOD OF THE SERVICE"

CONSERVATION fell in police and polit-
zeal circles last night when four of
the oldest policemen in the service were
discharged from the force by the city
council upon recommendation of Sam
Barlow, chief of police. The four men
who were summarily discharged ''for
the good of the service" and the years
OF their service in the department are:
Z. w. Price, mounted police, six
years.
George Harris, mounted police, four
years.
w. II. Clough, patrolman, six years.
70. +. Rhodes, patrolman, two years.
No quartet of bluecoats is better
known than these men, and then re-
moVal stirred the police department to
its depths. Chief Barlow was asked
why they were discharged and he mere
ly said:
For the good Of the service"
But what was the. specific COM
plaint?"
''They are not good policemen"
Were they drinking on duty?'
well, they We're indiscreet-they
have been guilty of many things which
do not entitle them to be connected
with the police department.
The cases of the four men were
brought before the police and prison
committee yesterday afternoon, their
removal was decided upon, and the
matter was rushed to the city council
last night without a word of warning
TO any of the men.
Effective at Once.

MYSTERY OVER SHOOTING
Peculiar Circumstances Connected
With Death of Cleveland Coombs
on Mountain Slope.

While friends of Cleveland Coombs. who
was found dead on the eastern slope Of
Twin Peaks. Saturday afternoon, believe
that he accidentally shot himself, and
died out of reach of surgical attention,
others are strong in the opinion that he
took his life, after broOding over re-
verses in his brief career, he being but
IL years of age. He had lost his employ
ment about three weeks before his death,
bur had kept the fact from his parents.
Outside of certain periods young COombs
was known as a most congenial comrade,
He was great lover of Out-of-dOor lie,
and it was not thought unusual for him
to take a trip up the mountains, as he
did when last seen Thursday afternoon.
A peculiar feature Of young Coombs
death is the fact that the revolver was
il a holster when discharged and the
bullet that entered the victims heart,
penetrated the leather end of the holster.
1t is said a revolver could not easily be
discharged accidentally while in holster.
but it could be discharged in the holster
by raising the hammer and pressing the
trigger in the usual manner. 1t is not
believed that Coombs' death resulted
from foul play, as no human tracks
could be found in the neighbOrhood OF
where the young man was found dead.
The funeral of Coombs will take place
at noon today from his late home, at No.
277 n street.

Rescue of Aged Woman.

Among the last to be taken out of the
snow alive at Mace was Mrs. George
Hooper, an old woman who lived ON the
outskirts of the town. She was buried
under the snow sixteen feet, and it took
four hours of the hardest work to- get
her out. She had suffered from the
cold, but was not badly injured.

BULLION RECEIPTS FOR
MONTH TOTAL $57,458

The receipts of gold and silver at the
United States assay office for February
were the smallest in the history of that
institution. ]. U. Eldredge. jr., assayer
in charge, attributes the low receipts to
the hard winter. which has made ship
ments of bullion from Nevada and other
states surrounding Utah few and far be-
tween.
The receipts of the month were: Gold
s57. 4O2.65; silver. 1881, making a total
value of $57.45S.16. All of the bullion
came from Utah mines.

AND MORE VICTIMS

locality were sleep.Lg. The Burke ava
lanche occurred at $50 this morning.
Saved by Mine Foreman.
That more lives were not lost at
Burke is due to the presence of mind
of Seaman S. Rowe, foreman of the
Hecla mine. Realizing the danger
which threatened the sleeping and un-
suspecting citizens of the other town
a mile further up the stream, he sent
Bert Clement on to Burke to rouse the
inhabitants and urge them to seek
safety.
BY a sad caprice of fate, two of those
who lost their lives at Burke were
members of the rescue party which had
been at work all night at Mace. They
were David Shepherd and Dick RichOtt.
These men were among the first to re-
spond to the call for succor when the
news of the Mace disaster reached
Burke. They procured tools and hur-
ried to the scene of the accident, where
they joined their efforts with the 9TH
ers and stormed the mass of ice and
earth which blocked the canyon. A
little after o'clock, Ling impressed
with the same idea as Rowe that the
town of Burke was in imminent danger
trophe at any moment, they started
back to aid in getting the women and
children out of the path of the greatest
danger. They arrived at Burke just in
time to be caught in the slide there.

Number of Victims Unknown.

Tonight a cold wind is sweeping the
canyon and impeding those who are
working herOically in the hope that a few
more lives may be saved. Those who
have journeyed from Wallace to Mace
and Burke say that the number of dead
probably never will be known accurately,
as the huge slide can never be entirely
removed.
A finger sticking above the surface Of
the snow was responsible for saving the
life of Mrs. George Gibson, who was
buried in the slide at Mace. For more
than an hour the woman lay buried with
only finger protruding above the snow.
Rescuers VINO stumbled over the rough
ground by the light of lanterns saw the
finger and dug her out with great diff
ficulty. She was half smothered and al
most frozen when rescued. Her condi-
ton is serious.
Tonight a survey of the situation at
Mace shows that Il dead bodies have been
recovered and that 81 persons are injured
as a result Of the slide, while others are
believed to be buried under the snow and
debris.
At Burke Mr.. and Mrs. Al Newman and
James Rogers were among those caught
in the early morning avalanche. They
were rescued but are not expected to
live Rogers was buried eight hours be-
fore being rescued.

 DISCOVERY

The reporter for the Alaskan who gathered in that story about the rich glena ore upon Dewey Point was a b.g mistaken in some respects.
 The ore Is there all right but the impression is given the reader that the land is unclaimed; whereas, there is a certain man actively engaged in prospecting Skagway's hills who says ,aar he and Joe GuyOtt have three claims located on that selfsame led ge. Martin Matkoyttch, of the Pack Train restaurant is the man, and he says that the old Glory, Glory No, |. and Glory No, are all part of that ledge which dips back into the hill and trends north and south.
 They had assay tests for gold and silver only. which resulted in bare l. a trace of the latter while the gold showing was of an encouraging uature Some samples from the led gs which was found only last August were brought into the Alaskan office where they can be inspected by those who are mterestd.
 These samples are from the sur face. With the coming of spring it is the intention of NIr. MatkOviteh to drive in on the ledge and have furthe tests made. It is a very good show ing at present.
