 Prior to his first inspection trip (which took him to Fl Vallel the gen eral had heard many times of the ghost dances the scouts had been giv- ing at their camp. and before leaving for Fl Valle had informed Captain Jas. A. shannon, who has directed the des tinies of the Apaches, that he would be pleased to have them perform for him. Communicated to the Indians. the generals request caused great ex- citement, and they insisted on leaving at once for field headquarters.
 They passed the general en route and it was only by the exercise of great diplomacy that they were pre- vented from debouching from their motor trucks and giving their dance on the trail. They were persuaded to continue their trip, however, and busied themselves during their six day layoyer at headquarters by furnishing their costumes and securing a new and complete line of vivid paints.

ALASKAN GOAT 5 I l RECEIVE
 PROTECTION

SEWARD, Sept 22,-Alaskan white goats on Kenai peninsula are to re- ceive protection from hunters until 1918. according to a rule issued by the secretary of agriculture. For the last few years the goats on the peninsula have suffered severely because eX- cluded in the ruling which protected white sheep on the eastern section of the peninsula.
 Hunters barred from killing sheep in this district made it point to bag the goats. which had not been men toned in the game law. There also is a suspicion that some of the goats" brought to camps headless were once adorned by fine pair of big horns.
 For some reason naturalists have paid little attention to the Alaskan goats. although they have devoted much space to the sheep. The goat has spike horns and sojourns most of the time at higher attitudes than those frequented by the sheep.
