GRAND JURY RESUMES
DYNAMITE INQUIRY
Many Witnesses in the McNa.
mara Case Called Before
Federal Inquisitors.

Los ANGELES. Cal, December r.
The federal grand jury resumed today it's
investigation into alleged conspiracies
against federal statutes in connection
with numerous dynamitings which have
occurred in various parts of the country
within three years. Although 1:s3 wit
nesseS have been summoned it is be-
lieved that the work will be rushed to a
speedy conclusion. Its scope. according to
eastern advices, will not extend farther
east than Salt Lake City, and will be con-
fined to considerable degree to Cali
fornia.
Many of the witnesses for this probe
are those summoned previously in the
Investigation by the state which resulted
in the indictment of the McNamaras and
others, which seems to lend confirmation
to the belief that the trail of the Los An
geles Times dynamiting would be followed
back to learn who, if any one, inspired
James B. Mcnamara to blow up the
Times building.

most $40, 900 900. The total num-
Der of acres of land assessed is 496,

AS compared with last year a de-
crease of 10000 head of sheep and
1000 head of cattle is shown, by
reason of which, and the lower val
uation of sheep, the total value OF
live stock in the county is $199,35S
less than last year, bat this decrease
is more than made up for by the
value of the new lands proved uI
on, increase of 74,203 acres over last
year. The total increase over last
year is $1,217,936.

Welcome Relief

Washington, July 2O.-American
citizens who have occasion to drive
domestic animals across the Cana
dian boundary for temporary pur-
poses are to be freed from the en-
barrassment caused by a ruling of

subjecting the beasts to tariffs. A
poll taken of the senate committee
on finance today indicates that the
senate will agree to the bill passed
by the house removing the duty,
which a judicial Interpretation of
the Payne-Aldrich till says must be
levied on animals driven or carried
across the border.
This hardship is the result of an
amendment to the Payne-Aldrich
tariff bill submitted by Senator Dol
liver and passed by the senate The
amendment permitted the return to
this country of certain exports free
of duty, but made an exception of
domestic animals born in this coun-
try. 1t is said that the resulting eff
feet of the amendment, as to ami
mails driven across the line and back
was not within the intention or ex-
p%ectation of Senator Deliver. A

Mr.. Mayors Joy Ride

If you want to bump the bumps
or loop the gap or do any other
form of hair-splitting, nerve-rack-
ing caper go down the Rim hill
in an auto guided by Einar Skaar.
That is the advice given for publ
cation gratuitously by Mayor Harry
Halvorson. Mr.. Mayor says he is
ready to go over Niagara Falls in a
barrel or to fly yer the Continental
Divide in a biplane since his trip
with Einar on Tuesday. 1t happen
ed this way: Einar invited his hon
or to join him in an auto spin out
to the MacRae sheep camp and the
invitation was accepted. When
they reached the road leading over
the Rim" Mr.. Halvorson observed
that he would like to walk down
hill. but Einar soothed and assured
him and allayed all fear of catas-
trophe. They started on the de-
scent and when about two rods on
the way down the brakes refused tc
act. The machine started at a mad
dening pace down the steep and
logged incline. Vim Hill's yellow
mail train going thru Shelby was al
a snail compared with the momen'
tum it attained and when nearing
the bottom of the hill it struck al
abrupt jog in the road and sailed of
into space for a distance of severa
rods, alighting like a huge bird o
prey or a monster dragon, with tn
occupants uninjured but 70 badl,
shaken up and in such a menta
state that little conversation was in
dulged in the rest of the way. In
terviewed by a special Pioneer Pres
