The latest reports received from the TOloyana telegraph station indi- cate that probably more than $5,000 worth of beaver pelts have been dis covered by Deputy U. s. Marshal Hagen and Special Fur Warden Eos ter, who are now engaged in the ex- animation of 42 sacks of furs in the postoffice at that place, alleged to be the property of the NaChons. So far less than half of the parcels have been entered. The search will be car ried out completely.
 In an interview given representa- tive of The Citizen last night, United States Marshal L. T. Erwin said: q had not intended to give the search for contraband furs to either local newspaper. But my attention. being called to the articles appearing in the News Miner this evening, l feel that it is my duty to make a plain statement of all the facts connected herewith.
 "Information was recently received at this office, and by MT. Foster, at Nenana, leading to the conviction that contraband furs were being shipped from the country. Warden Foster swore out search warrant and 1 took the matter up by tele- graph with the attorney general with the result that the postmaster general instructed the postmaster at Tolo- yans to permit the search.
 Thirty sacks of furs are known to have been shipped before the arrival of these instructions. FOrty-twO sacks, which remained were seized and are now being examined The first sack opened contained 16 beaver belts, The first ten sacks were found to hold 165 beaver belts and the latest report re- ceived by this office from Deputy Hagen says that from 20 sacks which he has entered, there have been se- cured a total of 343 of these skins"
 The average for the parcels ex- amined shows to have been slightly more than r belts to the sack. Less than half of the sacks seized have been examined. Out of the total 42 sacks P are yet to be opened.

One of the principal functions OF
the home newspaper is to rally the
sentiment of the town in behalf, of all
local enterprises. Here is point in
which sentiment radically needs edu-
eating. Left to themselves, there are
a great many people who would give
very little support to home enter.
prises. They could buy the greater
part of their goods on shopping trips
to other places and by ordering from
mail order houses.
The Standard maintains con
slant campaign to show the people the
folly of this policy. 1t shows that when
you spend dollar at home, you helr
build up your home town. When you
send it to some other city, you help
build up that city. Why help build up
places that care nothing for you, and
will never make any return to you?

whose growth you will get returns in
