Appreciate Entertainment

A party of Croswell citizens autoed
to Yale on Sunday to see what effect
oiling the streets could show. The
high winds of the day made it good
test and all agreed that the city to the
southwest was entirely free from dust.
Alderman Windsor took the party in
hand and showed the sights of the city
with free hand. A most excellent
dinner at the Paisley House made it o
trip worth while from pleasure stand
point. while the pointers secured made
1t valuable to all concerned in the city
government. Yale people are well
pleased with oil on streets, day service

team and many similar investments

spared no pains in showing up the var
ious points, Croswell Jeffersonian.

 ID BE DEVELOPED

The Shamrock mine. at Hogan's bay, Knights island, Is to be develop ed on large scale. according to Nj. N. Mastsno and Ganoran. who have just returned from the property. The former Is wealthy Japanese of Seat. tie who has acquired a S1O.OOO interest in the Shamrock Mining company, Of Hogan bay Mir. Gauvoran is a we'll known Seattle attorney who is also interested in the property.
 On their return from an inspection of the mine both expressed themselves as being highly pleased with the prop erty. Mir. Mastsuo, who has become wealthy through his knowledge Of mining, stated that they would return. possibly on the next trip of the Wat son, leaving Seattle February 25. with crew of thirty miners to begin op- erations. He believed the mine was worthy of extensive development.

TURKS ARE TRICKY
 IN BATTLEFIELD

LONDON, Jan. 23-(Correspondence of the Associated Press) We are here very close to Adam and Eyes abode, the Garden of Edcn." writes a lance corporal with the English forces fighting the Turks in the coun- try back of the Persian gulf
 "It is very hot and the country is no place for a white man. We live on bread, tea, and dates. The great est hardship is the scarcity of water. I have not had shave or wash for seventeen days.
 We captured two forts and a tel egraph office yesterday without the loss of one man. The Turks lost forty. Some of the methods of the Turks in action are curious. A ia vorite trick of theirs is to fall down fin close action as if dead, and then, after the line of British has passed them, they get up again and fire at them from behind
 While retreating the Turks frequent. ly discard numerous articles of cloth. ing, lest they should impede their flight. Before the retreat has lasted long they have nothing on but their shirts and ammunition belts. No matter how hot the fighting is, one cannot refrain from laughing at the spectacle of several hundred men run. ming at top speed with their long shirts Tapping around their bare legs.

the service. expenses which are so closely scrutinized and so severely criticised.
 "The forest service ought not to be criticised because of large appropria- lions made in its behalf and be denied the right to realize on It's resources. or to be asked to separate itself from its property without receiving pay ment or even being credited with the value of the property.
 That is the reason why the com mittee has refused to permit the in- corporation in this bill of the provision for the use of timber from the forests for the construction of railroads or other branches of the government ser vice without payment to the forest ser vice"
 In consequence of this decision the forest service is a factor of large mag nitude to be considered in any rail road building activity in Alaska. It would be difficult indeed to do any rail road construction in Alaska, such as outlined by the railroad bill, without trenching upon national forest soil.
 But the government railroad build CTS may not touch a stick or stone or remove a shovelfull of earth with
 the boundaries of the national for. est without the consent of the national forest service. That service also has power and authority to supervise the taking.
 In other words there exists at least an apparent conflict of authority, ex- actly of the sort described so vividly by Secretary Lane in his paper on "Bu- reaucracy in Alaska" which he pre- pared as an argument in behalf of his for the creation of an Alas Ean development board.
 Curiously the reclamation service years ago secured authority of law to take timber free from national forests for use in it's projects, and still has that authroity, but congress denies to the navy department and to the gov. ernment railroad builders similar au- thority
 The senate, when the agricultural | bill reaches that body, may remedy the matter. Failing that special legisla- ton will be necessary.
