GAME HUNTERS MAY BE ABLE
 DISPOSE GAME

As result of the action of the Council of Defense in Fairbanks in telegraphing to Royal A. Gunnison. chairman of the food administration for Alaska, concerning the sale of game meat, which was killed in the open season and not brought to town owing to severe weather, and which is still cached in the hills, the local body received the following copy of telegram which was sent to the administration at Washington, D. C.:
 Juneau, January 26, 1918. United States Food Administration,
 Washington, D. c.
 Fairbanks Alaska council defense has wired that moose, caribou and sheep legally killed before Decem- Der tenth were not brought to mar ket because severe weather. Sale period closed December twenty-fifth. Wire indefinite as to amount such game so killed, but asks suspen- sion Section Six Alaska game law until March to enable the sale of this game. Executive committee ter ritorial council national defense without other information endorses Fairbanks request and ask my rec ommendation for extension of sales period to secretary agriculture. My information is that there is abun- dance domestic meat in the Fair banks district to last until arrival of new supply on the opening of navigation in June. So much that porkless days are not effective in Fairbanks in order to save it. Be- lieve if appreciable quantity of game worthy the necessary effort to save that legally killed and prevent H. legal killing during extended sales period it would be we'll to endeavor to save that game. Information so indefinite as to the amount of game waste and so definite as to abun. dance of domestic meat the situa. tion should be investigated by game authorities and appropriate action taken as the need appears on inves- tigation.
 FEDERAL FOOD ADMINISTRA-
 TON FOR ALASKA"
 Should the game authorities make the investigation as suggested and find that it is feasible to bring the meat into town, it will mean much to the hunters who have spent con- siderable time and money in killing this meat for the market Authori- ty should be granted for the exten- sion of the game laws in regard to the disposal of the game now cached in the hills. With the ap- proach of warm weather and the extension not granted, it will mean loss to the individual hunter as we'll as to the community in which the sales could be made.
 The hunters are desirous of bring ing in their meat, but do not feel inclined to do so if they are liable for infraction of the game laws.

James II by his second wife, Mary Of

was not attempted until the house OF
Hanover came to the throne. The At

An examining physician for one

There are delays, and I can
make no color Of prophecy when
they will be removed, although
every effort is being made to re.
move them.
We could not delay sending
men to the cantOnments until the
last button was on the last coast.
Maj. General Wood advised me
to send the men to the camps,
saying they would have lot to
learn before they would have
need for rifles.
The story Of preparation will
be shown as as a tremendous re-
sponse to a tremendous re-

The speech of Senator Varda-

the day after the Legislature of
the State had taken this action,
announcing to the world that
Mississippi was the first to wave
this national white flag of purity,
was a classic Grafton befitting

Mississippi had done, and Billy
asked all Mississippians present

shook the rafters of that big
building went up from ten thous.
