EVEN LUNDIN GOT ONE
 OF BOOZE CIRCULARS

SEATTLE, May 15.-Prosecuting Attorney Alfred H. Lundin was kept busy at the telephone this morning soothing the ruffled feel ings of many prohibition advocates who received in their morning mail a pamphlet from a San Francisco liquor house brazenly setting forth the quality of it's wares and calling attention to an interesting price list.
 It is against the dry law to ad- vertise liquor and many citizens waxed indignant and demanded im- mediate prosecution.
 "They even had the nerve to send me a circular" said Lundin, land I guess they know I can do nothing The matter was distributed by Unit ed States mail carriers and I can not very well arrest Uncle Sam. There is bill pending in Congress making the offense a crime, but it had not been enacted into law. If these rlen were fugitives from the state 1 could bring thm back, but they G-e not and are without the pale of the Washington law"

MORE THAN 1000 IDLE MEN IN

SEATTLE, May 15.--That there are in Vancouver more than 1000 idle men, and that many able-bodied men in the province are dependent upon public charity because they can find no work, is the word re- ceived by the commissioner of im- migration here from Washington.
 The information was sent here in an effort to counteract the propa- ganda to induce Americans to mi grate to Canada for the ostensible purpose of obtaining employment there. Commissioner White said to- day that, several thousand Ameri- cans have crossed into British Col umbia the last year locking for work, but majority of them had been forced to return because of a lack of employment in the province. : Commissioner White also said that the order in council in British Col umbia, prohibiting the entry into the province. of artisans and laborers. skilled and unskilled. has been re- lnewed- for another six months at the demand of organized labor. The or der, he said, was passed because of the great number of unemployed in all branches of industry in the pro- vince.

 JUST IN TIME
SAVED A TWO AND oNE-HALF YEAR OLD CHILD FROM
 DROWNING.

While out walking over what is known to Ketchikaners as the Hoop" yesterday, Mir. Weigle, Superintend- ent of the Forestry Department in Southeastern Alaska, was attracted by screams from a child short distance ahead of him.

There and then MT. Weigle, without ceremony jumped in and rescued the child who was by that time nearly dead. He held the child's head downward and thus allowed the water to run out and saved the child's life. The baby was taken to Mr and Mrs. Nickey's home where .shes was, put in dry clothes while her little friend went after the mother, who cannot ex- press her gratitude to MT. Weigle the hero of the hour.

ADJUSTMENTS
At the Lyric

Ralph Dunbars singing band is a big feature of the new bill. which opened Thursday at the Lyric, and the other en- tertainers on the bill form a very at- tractive amusement. It is rare that a combination of singing and playing is found in any band, and it can be said to the creidt of the members of the ag- gregation that all can play well and sing we'll.
 "A Jay Circus" presented by Dan Sher- man and Mabel DeForest, is riot of fun, and is one of the big laugh-provok- ing numbers on the bill. The comedy is immense and the fun-makers hand out a rich brand of entertainment.
 Orren and Drew proved especially en- tertaining, the male part of the team with his limitations and his female part ner in her whistiing. The limitations were just about perfect. When it comes to working hard the team of MT and Mrs. Mcfarland deserves all the approva. possible. They are entertaining and put forth their best efforts to please the audience. Mario Lo and company in poses continue to be a feature.
