PRESIDENT GUSTS PINCHOT.
Chief Forester Told His Services
Are No Longer of Value.

Clifford Pinchot, chief forester, was
removed from Office at 7 o'clock Fri
day evening by Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wilson on direct orders of Presi-
dent Taft. OvertOn Price, associate
forester, and Alexander Shaw, assist
ant law officer Of the forestry service,
were simultaneously ousted. Thus a
clean sweep is made of all the officials
of the forest service who lent their
aid to L. r. CLAWS in the formulation
of the charges against Secretary of
the Interior Ballinger, which are on
the eve of Congressional investigation.
In his letter removing the Chief For
ester and his most intimate aids from
Office President Taft bluntly informed
Mr.. Pinchot that his services are no
longer of value to the government.

ANDREE BALLOON HEARD OF.
Trader Brings Tale by Eskimos OF
Balloon and White Man.

The reported finding of Andree's bal
loon at Reindeer Lake in the arctic
circle, 900 miles north OF Prince AL
bert, Sask., is given thorough credence
by the %trappers and prospectors, many
Of whom have spent a lifetime in the
northern wilds. They know that when
such a story is circulated among the
Indians there must be a considerable
amount of truth in it. The other day
there arrived from the north a Hud.
sons Bay Company trader from Fort
G~oodhope, and he adds many interest
ing details which are so confirmatory
that a party will be sent up to bring
back the relics. According to the sto-
ries told by the Indians around Fort
G~oodhope the balloon was seen drifting
from the direct north, so it is possible
that Andree and not Peary was the first
to reach the pole.
This trader says the Indians have
several books which were found in the
basket of the balloon, possibly the rec
ords kept by Andree Of his trip across
the frozen Northland. Some Eskimos
visited Fort Goodhope two years ago.
and when they saw a large sinGle-bore
gun they said in their own language:
That looks like the thing the white
man had" but what happened to the
man in question or what he was they
were unable to say. but some of them
connected him with the large white
house covered with ropes, which fell
from heaven"
Reindeer lake. where the remains
of the balloon are now lying, can only
be reached by dog sled in the winter
and canoe during the summer.
