ONE CUNNING OLD RODENT
SUCCESSFULLY Plane to Get the Cheese
Without Being Caught In
the Trap.

Not long ago Il became a problem
IN Brooklyn hotel how to keep down
the population Of rats. which had be-
come 30 bold that they stole from un-
der the very noses of the cooks. Traps
and poisons were successful at first,
but after . few deaths the wary rats
avoided both. The ratcatcher was
then called in. and cats, dogs and fer
rets had their turn. but still the rats
increased.
The steward bagged a few with a
small rife, but the rats soon grew too
cautious for him. About all he could
see was the tip of a tail or two bright
eyes that disappeared as soon as he
raised his gun. Then he hit upon an
other idea. He swung a lid ON a bar
rel with a swivel, flled the barrel half
full Of water. and fastened a lump OF
cheese in the center OF the lid. AS
soon as a rat alighted on either side
of the lid. over he would go into the
barrel. and for a while rats were
drowned by the dozen.
1t was at this juncture that the
rodents evidently held a council. for
the number of victims grew steadily
smaller. Sometimes in the morning
there would be two or three rats in
the barrel, oftener there were none at
all. The observant steward felt that
they were all the time trying to fig
ure out how to get that cheese. Some
times two rats would get on the edge
of the barrel. opposite one another. at
the same time. and balance the lid as
they crept toward the center. This
worked well until one or the other
forgot the need for caution, when both
fell In.
Finally one old rat mastered the
game. For several nights the cheese
disappeared, and there was no rat
there in the morning to show for 1t.
One night the steward caught the rat
in the act Of dropping from pipes
right In the center of the lid. He bal
anced himself for a moment. then
quietly nibbled at the cheese. When
he had satisfied his hunger he care
fully moved OF along the line of the
swivel and dropped to tho floor. safe.
AT this point the steward acknowl-
edged defeat. He declared that the
man who was smart enough to defeat
those rats was smart enough to do
anything.

One of the most important items in Clifford Pnchos
orous article in the Saturday Evening Post OF December 10
is the following:
Cheap cooal for domestic fuel is imperative. Immediate
steps should be taken to break the monopoly of PUGET
SOUND COAL enjoyed by the syndicate steamship line
and open the local coal of Alaska at to development
for domestic use.''
Now, every Alaskan knows Clifford Pncho knows, and
the Saturday Evening Post people should know that Puget
Sound does not ship pounds OF coal to Alaska Here

this wicked perverter of facts this commandern chief of

anyone imagine deliberate wicked of

here is the truth:
The coal Alaska is mined from the northern end Of
Vancouver island under the flag of the Dominion of Canada
1t shipped to Alaska ports and duty paid every ton
of it. No monopoly is held by the ''Syndcae's steamship

pany the Humboldt Steamship company the Alaska Coast
company the Pacific Steamship company, and the Alaska
Steamship company the last being the designated

There has been and it will be impossible to create
monopoly of the coal business in the hands OF this
company The company itself burns oil imported from Cali
ora most of its steamers and the Copper River North
western railway has changed all of it's engines oil burners
The machine shops of this company at Cordov oil to
generate and light The Cordova Power company at
furnishes light and to the people of Corova has also
changed its boilers to Oil instead of coal.
But these important facts with the statement that

by Pmcho in his article In this statement the Saturday
Evening Post and Clifford Pnchot prove themselves JOINTLY
be the perpetrators of of the deliberate literary
conortions OF fact yet recorded.

when the camp at it's active stage and business moving
