 HAY. RANCHER CAN'T KILLTHEM UNDER LAW

BAKERSFIELD. Cal, Sept. 1.-Two hundred elk from the hills have been eating the hay on the lands of James Arp. a rancher in Button Willow dis trict, and Arp has appealed to the California Fish and Game Commission for relief.
 With hay at s20 a ton and all the elk enjoying hearty appetites, Arp be- came desperate and wrote the game commission that the wild animals were denuding the range, needed for his 200 cattle and horses.

U. s. LIGHTHOUSE
 INSPECTOR TELLS
 OF NORTHERN TRIP
Two New Buoys and Two New Lights Placed to Mark
 Rocks and Dangerous Reefs

Capt W. C. Dibrell, lighthouse in- spector for the 18th division, who re- turned on the Admiral Evans Sunday evening. gave a very interesting ac- count of his 4th Annual trip into the Boring sea on which he was accompan- jed by Mrs Dibrell and Miss Mary Mitchell
 Leaving here on Juiy 15. on a con- mercial steamer, they boarded the lighthouse tender Kukui at Seward, from which point they sailed for Kodi- ak, thru the Unimak Pass to Unalas- ka where they recoaied and started back for Kodiak. From Kodiak the Kukui sailed for Cook Inlet as far as Anchorage. where they again boaded the steamer for Ketchikan.
 Two new buoys were placed on the trip, one at Thin Point, near King Cove, to mark dangerous reef and the other at the entrance to Unga Is- land 10 mark rock. Two new lights one at Tonki Cape on Afognak Island and the other on the northeast point of Kalgin Island in Cook Inlet, were esta blished. All the lighthouses with keepers, were visited, where the usual annual supplies of oil, coal and pro- visions were left and all blinkers re- charged with gas supply for a year Buoys were relieved and new ones put down and sites for new proposed lights were visited.
 "A large appropriation has been made by Congress for additional new aids to navigation in the north and it is expected that this new work will be done next season" Capt. Dibrell said today, and arrangements have been made to have number of dolphins es- tablished to mark the channel at Con- troller Bay. at Katalla"
 Capt. Dibrell stated that the Admir- al Evans on her southbound trip stopt al Katalla, landing at the new wharf built by the Alaska Anthracite Rail- road Company, being the first steamer to do so since it's completion. Form erly all freight was landed at Katalla by means of lighters, but since the erection of the new wharf, this has been done away with. The company has built a railroad connecting with the coal fields and has gone to consid- erable expense to expedite the deliv- cry of their products to steamers
 On the way north Capt. Dibrell and party visited the famous Childs and Miles Glaciers on the Copper River, about 50 miles north of Cordoya, the scene of Rex Beach's famous Iron Trail" On the trip south the Evans stopped at nearly every cannery on the way, enabling the passengers on board 10 see considerable country, making the trip most enjoyable one.

HOW THEY HANDLE THE w. ". IN THE
 HOOD RIVER VALLEY
The Writer Says He Prayed to Beat the Band" And Was
 Turned Loose

A former Hood River, Oregon, resi- dent, but now located here, received a letter few days ago from a friend in which the latter gives much informat- ion in a general way and in particular the manner the peop.e dea, with agi- tators in that part of Oregon. The writer says: The boys here had a big time with an I. w. W vast night (Aug 25.) Carson jugged him for agitating on the street, then the fellows fixed up job. About 8 went to the jail after dark and after a good showing 10 fight the Marshal, took him down to the beach. and after lew minutes he was asked to explain himself and If he had anything to say for himself. Pretty soon, some one on the outside Of the crowd said it is time to pray. He got down on his knees and prayed to beat the band, and begged to ge, one more chance; that he had seen the error of his ways. That he loved the flag and begged like good fellow. On prearranged signal, a boat came over from the Washington side and he was escorted down to it and let go for the other side. He hit the sand running at top speed, and if he kept that up, he is in Ketchikan by this time. It looked pretty serious to him to see so many fellows carrying ropes and flashlights and other things to make them look weird. But all the same there is a strong feeling hero and it would not be safe for any agita- tor to commit any overt act There are so many who went 10 the front or are on their way there from here, that the people will not stand any foolish ness"
