TURTLES WE'RE DUCK cLINo
In Barrel Below snsppers Were Con-
cesled Birds Being Shipped In
Violation OF Law.

There are persons who take a
swapping turtle seriously, and, de-
spite his ill nature and tendency to
remove pink little fingers, learn his
peculiarities and read his innermost
appetltes. One Of the latter is John
b. Thompson, federal inspector I'M
der the migratory bird law, and he
knows mighty well that no turtle
will eat ice in any circumstances,
says st. Louis (Mo.) dispatch to
New York Herald.
Recently five barrels of live snap
ping turtles arrived at the Union sta
ton, consigned to puryeyors to the
restaurant trade. Now, a turtle is not
migratory bird. The barrels we're
filled in with ice, and Inspector
Thompson could see the turtles
stamping their feet, blowing into
their hands, throwing their shells up
around their necks, and making
every possible effort to keep comfort
able in the intense cold.
"There is something in those bar
rels," said Inspector Thompson, adj
dressing no one, "besides turtles. I
shall forthwith look into this matter,
barrel by barrel" This he did while
the snappers whistled through their
teeth to indicate that the heating
arrangements were not as advertised.
In the bottom of the barrels 81
wild ducks, bound and gagged, we're
going whittier they knew not. 1t is
the closed season on migratory birds,
and the ducks ceased to migrate i'm
mediatoIv.

We feel warranted in assuring
all owners of small farms, or

who, having their own farm lands
may wish to borrow $500 or
$1,000, or similar amounts, for
the purpose of buying dairy COWS
OF other livestock to place upon
such farms, that they can secure
such funds upon application to
the state land board, at a rea-
sonable rate of interest and up
on long enough zine to assure
them of their ability to make
payment when the principal sum
becomes due.
Such loans will enable literally
hundreds of farmers in this state
we believe, to purchase COWS with

with which to form the basis for
developing a thriving industry
We feel sure that the land board

The thirteenth legislative ses-
sion is a thriller when il comes to
doing nothing but spend the peo-
pies money. So far it is the
most reckless and most expen-
sive session the state has ever
had on hand, and if Nose Alex

his veto he will have an adminA-

than the previous one instead of
the million dollars less which he

to provide good Office for some
political follower and in which,
instance of the kind in this state
by the results desired could be
accomplished without any addi-
tional cost
Governor Alexander could have
found splendid justification for
signing the bill creating the adj
ditional judge. AS he explain
in his veto message, the condi-
ton of the business in the dis
trict is deplorabie and the peo-
pie are entitled to relief. Upon
the information made public no
criticism could have been direct
ed at the governor had he sign
ed the measure. Instead, how
ever, he pointed out how the re-
lief could be granted and the
work could be done without i'll
convenience and without cost to
the people of the state. It is
now up to the legislature to carry
out the plans laid down by the
governor, or that body can refuse
to act and leave the district in
the deplorable condition it is in.
The measure might be passed
over the veto, but we do not be-
lieve that can be done.

HUNDREDS TO RAGE FOR HOME IN THE
 IMPERIAL VALLEY

Los Angeles--Hundreds of men are camped day and night on a tract of ground in the Imperial val ley, which is soon to be restored to entry by the land office. The tract consists of seven thousand acres which was withdrawn during the building of the great irrigation ditef and is considered the finest land in the state.
 The agents of the land office hay posted notices that priority by squatting on the land will not aI- ford any advantage as the tract will be cleared even if 1t is neces- sary 10 secure the militia, before the land is thrown open.
 Many of the squatters are deter mined 10 hold their land and it IS feared that bloodshed will result from tue great rush as the number of contestants in the race is con stantly increasing.

ITOW's ONLY HOPE
 PARDON OR COMPUTATION

Juneau: Sustaining the decision of the lower court, 8 mandate was yesterday received from the Cir cult Court of Appeals in San Fran cisco in connection with the case of the United States against o. Itow who was found guilty of murder three years ago. An agreement was reached between the district at torney and J. H. Cobb, Itow's at tornye, and the mandate was filed late ill the afternoon.
 In all probability the district at torney will now ask that Judge Rob .ert w. Jennings resentenCe Itow to death in accordance with the earlier decision.
 The only procedure now open to the defense is to secure either a presidential pardon or a cOmmuta- tion of the death sentence to life imprisonment. No action has as yet been taken.

SOLD LIQUOR; ]. SENTENCED

- Seward, Nov. I7-Twenty men and two women of Anchorage, the railroad town under the supervision and rule of the government rail- way commission, have been convict ed of selling liquor without a h- cense.
 - The accused were convicted a short time ago by the grand jury on the charge of conducting blind pigs" in the railroad town.
 All of those convicted who own lots will lose them, since the sale of lots in the first place carried provisions that no liquor was to be scId on the premises.
 It is believed that the congic- tons will have a wholesome ef- feet in lettering others from Op- eratsng blind pigs

ID PROTECT
 THE FORESTS

Upon his return from recent tour of investigation in Alaska, Hen y s. Graves, chlef of the forest service, estimated that this past ] 5ummer two 9' three million acres 5r timber land in this northern ter ritory were burned over and that in the last fifteen years not less
 than million acres a year were
 destroyed, says the New York Sun.
 This is the greatest loss from forest
 fires as regards area that the
 United States has ever experienced
 yet MT Graves says that the govern
 ment took no measure of protection against them,
 These vast tracts, mostly in the
 interior of the territory, are coV-
 cred with white birch, white spruce and cottonwood. While the trees are not large nor the yield great still these forests are important factors in the development of the country and in making it haDita0le' They are necessary to the establish men. of the principal industries mining and agriculture, and are to the building and main tenance of the pioneer roads and One of the national for ests has Q yield of seventy billion feet of good lumber and promises to become a center for the manufactuT Of wood pulp.
 MT. Graves says that on the Val deg trajI he passed through more than a hundred miles of forests either burning or recently burned:
 ''Mau culYerts, bridges, cordu- roy roads and telephone poles had been destroyed, and still worse the trees had been dstroyed along the trail and these trees will be sOrely needed for repairs in the future"
 He says, too, that the actual damage here represents as much as it would have cost to pre- vent the fires entirely" A trained forest force has already proved it's worth wherever it had been intro duced and there is no reason that In the face of such great loss the same protection should not be i'm extended to the public domain in Alaska.

has ever possessed in such a marked degree
as the Prime Minister the gift of saying a
thing which each person-including the
speaker himsef-can interpret in his own
way. In every one of his announcements
there is a loophoe. | remember Mrs. As
quith asking her husband simple question
as to the hour in which he would have the Car
sent around. The butler, who was in the room
at the time; Mrs. Asquith and myself were ali
quite certain that the reply had been different
in each case, and in the end Mr.. Asquith could
not decide what he had said and used taxi!
| sometimes think that the reason why so
many people feel that curious blind confidence
that the Prime Minister will manage to pull
things through" is that he is so typicaly
British, so stod slow and unimaginative,
there is no danger that he will become excited
or enthusiastic over any conceivable subject.
His heart will never dominate his head. In
the large study on the ground floor of No. 10,
Downing Street you may find the master of
the house and of the destinies of England,
sunk deep in an armchair, his eyes closed and
the five fingers of one hand against those of
the other. Is he asleep or meditating some
great coup, or dreaming about golf which, by
the way, he plays exceedingly badly? You
softly place the papers needing his signature
on the table, trusting that they will be signed
in time for post. 1t is quite possible that
they will be left till next day, for even the
signature to a simple letter requires as much
determination as though it were death war
rant!
To meet Mr. Asduth crossing the park in
his rather ill-itting and-it must be con-
fessed-somewhat dusty clothes, you would
take him for prosperous man of business or
perhaps country squire in town for short
holiday His rudy cheeks and tufts of white
hair sticking out from under hat at least
a size too large suggest a sOjourn at the sea-
--:s or walk across breezy mOOrs.
FAR FROM POLITICS AND DECISIONS.
And no doubt it is in some such surround
ings that the BRINE Minister prefers to find
himself, far from politics, above all far from
the necessity of making up his mind on any
subject be it the pattern of his socks or the
i-ala~ation of war. Every Friday, though
me heavens fall though London lay in flames
and ruins beneath the Zeppelin bombs, | be-
leve Mr.. Asquith would motor down to mis-
charming estate in Berkshire, there to remain
