How Deer Are Attracted by Calling Them by Means of a "JaCOb
 Leaf.'
MUST WATCH THE WIND
Useful Hints Given by the Sitka verStOvian on Hunting of
 Deer.

The Verstovian, published by the Jackson School at Sitka in the most recent number gives pointers on how to hunt deer, as follows:
 MT. Roosevelt, in the Winning of the West" says "The dense forest was to the Indians a home in which they had lived from their childhood, and where they were as much at ease as farmer on his own acres. To their, eyes, trained for generations, the wilderness was an open book. Nothing at rest or in motion escaped them. They had begun to track game as soon as they could walk. A scratch on a tree trunk, bruised leaf, faint indentation of the soil, which no white man could see, all told them tale as plainly as if it had been shouted in their ears"
 This could easily be a description of the people of Alaska, for they too, are familiar with hunting be- cause they have studied the signs that will help them to find the game. The parents have trained the chil- dren and they have listened when taught the ways of hunting.
 The Alaska people have always depended much upon game for food, and it has been necessary for them to study the signs which would help them to find this game.
 While the hunting of many kinds of game is interesting, deer hunting is that which is most enjoyed by the Alaskan, not only for the bene- fits of the game but for the real sport in the hunt.
 The Alaska people pay attention to the weather, and wait for good day when they intend to go out hunt ing. By good day is meant one not too bright. A hunter can see better on a cloudy day. When they see signs of a good day, they al ways prepare for morning by putting everything in order so when the day comes they can start to climb early in the morning. They hasten to the place where the deer slept at night When the day breaks, the deer always start from the place where they slept.
 When the first sign of a deer is seen, it is best to follow the track. walking quietly and watching closely over the still hills and the sheltered places. When no deer is seen just keep on walking until the second or third track is found which goes in the same direction as the first one. They tell where the deer are; i; whether they have gone to the val ley or to the hills, the hunter should follow. When he comes near he should walk slowly and without noice.
 If he does not see the deer he should call them with a Jacob leaf. When he calls he should stand on a high place or on stump, so he can easily see where the deer are running toward him. He should call and then stop for lew seconds. then call again, waiting in the place about ten or fifteen minutes. then continue walking and stop again at a little distance and commence to call again. Very likely deer will soon be seen.
 A hunter must always notice the wind and go against 1t so the deer will not discover him. If the wind is blowing hard. he should 50 around on the lee side of the deer for the deer are always on the sheltered

Yanks Raid

'front.'; Win
Kill Many Of Foe During
20-Minute Battle;
Losses Light.
By NEWTON c. PARkE.

(Staf Correspondent of the !. N. So
With the American Army in France,
June 5.-One of our patrols on the
LuneviIle front early this morning
penetrated the enemy positions to the
third lines. where they discovered a
German party of at least 300. They
attacked the surprised Germans first
with grenades and then with rife fire.
The fighting lasted 20 minutes. Many
Germans were seen to fall. When It
became apparent that they were
greatly outnumbered the Americans
retired with extremely light losses.
Later many more German casual
ties were caused by a stiff bonn
bardment with heavy shells of the
sector where the fight had taken
place.
There were five air battles north
west of Toul today. during one of
which two of our pilots were forced
to the ground inside the German
lines.
During the fight one of our
machines was hit three times with
bullets declared to have been ex-
plosive. the use of which is prohib-
tied b ythe rules of We.
Our artillery here also got q
chance to pour prUJe, uItJ
mass of enemy soldiers attacked by
the fallen machines. Our batteries
were signalled just as a crowd of
curious Germans gathered about the
spot and a terrific hail of shells was
sent over.

u. 5. SHORT SOFT COAL
BY 79,S66,0OO TONS
Production and Conservation Need
ed. Says Administration.

The country faces a shortage of
bituminous coal of 79.S66,OOO tons,
according to figures made public
last night by the Fuel Administra-
ton.
This must be met either by an
increased production or by conser-
walton and Limitation in the use of
coal" says the administration. ITO
meet this demand in full by pro-
duction would mean an increased
output of IA per cent over the
production for the year 1917, which
amounted to 554,72S,OOO."
Estimates completed yesterday
are based upon figures submitted
by various departments of the gov
ernment, such as the War, Navy
Emergency Fleet, indicating their
increased demands for fuel during
the current year. For the year
634,594,000 tons of bituminous are
required. The Shipping Board esti-
mates that to supply bunkers to
ships in the foreign trade will re-
quire thirty per cent more coal thai
in 1917. The industrial require
ments, augmented by the tremend-
Gus expansion of war manufactures,
will demand eighteen per cent
more: the public utilities fifteen per
cent more; domestic consumers
thirteen per cent more. and the rail-
roads seven per cent increase. Seven
million tons will go to give an ad-
ditional ten days storage supply to
the industrial concerns and public
utilities outside Of the New England
states. New England will get
thirty days additional storage.
