bureau contributed greatly to Ries-
ener's fame; for it's construction
took three years, and Oiben having
died in the meantime, his pupil COM
pleted it.
The massive bronze doors of this
royal bureau were ornamented with
elaborate and intricately modelled
figures, and the whole was fashioned
after complete and perfect minia-
ture model. The degree of craft
manship that was brought to bear
upon this historical piece of furni-
ture was of such character that a
second bureau, built similarly, was
begun and completed by competi-
tor before the original was finished.
Riesener became greater artist
than his teacher Oiben, and was re-
cognized as one of the leading furni-
ture makers fhis time. His great
activity is shown by the quantity and
elaborate detail of the furniture he
made.
At the beginning of the French
Revolution evil days came upon
Riesener. Those wealthy customers
who did not flee and who escaped the
guillotine were made bankrupt. In
1893 he held a sale of his priced COL
lection Of furniture; but he was fore
ed to buy most of it back himself. A
little later he tried again to realize
some money on the furniture; but
this also was a failure. "
His son, who had joined the army,
returned to Paris and saved the aged
furniture maker from starvation.

The administration at Washington fs beginning to feel the necessity of i'm porting foreign federal officials into Alaska. It is unfortunate for the ter ritory that we have had lot of ques- tionable public servants under the old regime of selecting men from amang the residents of the Northland- How eVer- we still believe that men picked from Alaska will in the long run prove more satisfactory than carpet baggere who are not familiar with the condf- tious of Che country. The trouble with SO many federal officials up this way lies in the fact that they think they are far removed from the seat of govern ment and can treat public office as private snap. When they realize that they are only servants of the public, and not theS masters, then they usually give satisfaction if they have any ability whatsoever. In recent issue of the Nome Nugget bat paper felicitated itself over the fact that Alaska offices were for AlasEans. And now comes two appointments for Nome, and one, of the appointees is from far off Virginia, while the other is from Oregon. However, there may be good cause for it. It seems to be pretty certain that any old thing in the way of judicial administration in Alaska will not go with the new administra- tion. And when candidates from Alas ka are charged with aIl the crimes in the decalogue, instead of Investigating them all it may be easier to send men against whom there are no charges Chitiua Leader.

Completing the most extensive cruise of the waters of the Arctic ever at- tempted for scientific research and big game hunting, the power schooner P.J- Abler, Capt. P. L. Larson, has returned to Seattle The Abler brought Capt. Frank H. Kleinechmidt, huntsman and motion picture photographer, and an interesting collection of large man. male, birds, beetles, butterflies, plants, flowers and a great variety of small in- sects and big game of the Alaskan and Siberian ooasts. There are more than POGO specimens, the greatest collection of it's kind ever brought down from the North. While on the cruise Capt. Kleinsohmidt made I8,0O0 feet of mOV- ing picture flm, which he expects to exhibit in all of the larger cities of this country and Europe The collection of mammals, birdsr beetles, flowers and Dlants was made for the Carnegie inc stitute museum, Pitts burgy and will be shipped East in a few days. The AbleF left Seattle May with Capt Klein schmidt and Mrs Kleinschmidt and their two children. At St. Michael the vessel took on board Marshall Scully Gilpin Lowering and A. M. Collina, mil- lionaire sportsmen of Philadelphia, and Dr. Arthur Biting, of Albany, M '. pr. S. Hall Young, Presbyterian mls- sionary, who is Mrs. Eleinschmidt'e father joined the expedition at Nome. After cruise of the Arcticy along the Siberian ooaet, the Aleutian islands and the Alaska peninsula, the party oS big game hunters left the Abler at Seward for a moose and mountain sheep hunt to the Lower Kenai lake country. Four of the best guides of the peninsula, Ben Sweazy, CoL B. II Revelle, William De Witt and c. C. Tolmau, were obtained for the trip. The hunt will continue until November. Two taxidermists. Prof. August Kusche, of the Academy of Science, San Francisco, and Charles Albreoht, accompanied the expedition into the Arctic to prepare the speci
 mems for shipment. Leaving Seattle the Abler took the inside passage route to the North, stopping at many scenic spots, collecting specimens of vege table, animal and bird life and taking photographs. Moving picture films were made of Muir glacier in fall ac- tiou, throwing oG enormous masses of ice. On the Alaska peninsula and at Kodiak island fne specimens of brown bear and caribou were obtained. At the seal rookeries in Siberia a herd of sea lions. the male of which weighed ! 2,I75 pounds, was taken. When the Abler reached the Bogoslof island the volcanos were spitting fire and smoke and the boiling sea, as well as the i'm
 mense bird and seal rookeries, furnish ed a fine study for both moving picture machine aud camera. From the Bog
 oslof islands the Abler proceeded to the Pribilof islands to view the Eur seal and then Go Che Siberian coast Cor an extensive cruise. Capt. Kleinschmidt said that one of the most interesting features of their visit to Siberia was the discovery of a news pecies of noun tain goat. The animal, unlike any that the party had seen in Alaska, was en- tirely black aud had different shaped head from the species in the other parts of the Ear North

Sioux Falls, April 10. Patrick O'Dea
a prominent pioneer farmer, living
near Humboldt. has inst been advised
of the death at Redding, Cal, Of a
brother whom he had believed dead

The California authorities. when the
brother, Austin O'Dea died recently,
at Reddiug, were unable to end among
his papers a will OF other information
which would throw light on the where

heirs of the dead man.
The clerk of courts gave the sub
| stance of the letter to the local news
papers. and this resulted in friends
of Patrick O'Dea seeing il and they
called his attention to the matter.
lO'Dea states that without doubt the
man who died in California was his
missing brother, whom he had for
years supposed to be dead, as be had
a brother of that name, who was a
bachelor and at one time lived in Min
nehaha county.
This brother made homestead entry
on a tract of government land neal

entry of a tree claim. but deserted the
latter, and, to save the land, Patrick

stituted to prevent the farm from fall
ing into the possession of strangers.
Austin O'Dea had left South Dakota
before Patrick arrived, and the latter
never heard from him again and sup
posed that be had died years ago until
he received the information that the
missing brother had died only recently.

TIMBER SALE
Department of Agriculture Will
Receive Bids for Idaho
Timber

Washington, April 1.-THE depart
ment of agricu 'ture has begun adver-
Using two large tracts of timber which
aggregate $50 million feet on the Pay
cite river within the Boise and Payette
national forests, Idaho. The district
forester at Ogden, Utah, will receive
bids mp to and including June I, 1918
and for an additional month If intend
ing purchasers wish more time to
eaxmine the timber before deciding on
their bids.
While the bids received through
competition will determine the rate at
which the timber will he sold, the de-
partment, as the result Of a careful
study, has placed a minimum price
which will be considered on the tim
Der, according to species and situa.
tion. These prices range from "a. 80
a thousand feet for western yellow
pine in the most accessible places,
down to 81 for the least valuable
and least accessible timber. The in
itial rates will be subject to readjust-
ment in 1918 and in 1922. BY such
readiustment the stumpage price may
be modified twice at four-year inter
walls during the twelve years which
will be allowed for the removal of
the timber.
The department officials point on
that. in states of such a large quantity
OF timber. il is necessary to allow a
long term contract because of the
magnitude of operation and invest
ment. The fact that many large sales
have been made with readjustment
clauses indicates, 1t is / cid. that tim
