MAKING AN EFFORT TO.
 LOCATE PIONEER FORT

POCATELLO, Idaho, April 10.- When the daughters of the American Revolution met here short time ago in the state convention, a movement was started to attempt the location of old Fort Hall, much-mooted proposi- tion. Local historians have disputed the location for many years, some holding it was comparatively near the present site of the Fort Hall agency and Indian school on the res ervation,, others maintaining that it was located further down on the Snake river. The latter theory ap- pears to be pretty we'll borne out in the faint marks of the former habita- tion that at one time sheltered Cap tain Bonneville and Lewis and Clark on their memorable expeditions to the Northwest. #
 The 1000 Indians on the reserva- tion are reticent regarding the early history of Fort Hall, and inasmuch as one of the old gray haired braves boasts the white men keep me hun dred and five summers" and other aged natives still inhabit the region, it is possible that out of the program may one day be evolved the mystic problem of the past to the exact loca- tion of the pioneer fort in the North west.

JUAREZ MECCA
 FOR THIRSTY AMERICANS

JUAREZ, Mexico, April 1O.-This little Mexican frontier town has be- come an oasis in the great American prohibition desert. Here, on Calle Comercio, may be seen barrels and cases of American-made whisky and wine which is offered to the few who are permitted by the passport regu- lations to visit Juarez. Mexico has not yet reached the prohibition stage and the number of saloons along the main street has increased until every other door is a bar.
 At present few Americans are per mitted to take advantage of this op- portunity to purchase drinks. The having urgent business in Juarez and, should an American make too ire quent trips or visits to the saloons his passport is recalled. The saloonkeep- CTS are looking forward to the time when all passport restrictions will be removed and Juarez will aganin be- come the mecca for the thirsty as was the case under the Villa rule.
 Many old-time saloonkeepers from Fl Paso, who were familiar figures be- hind the bars of famous saloons in American cities have made their ap- pearance here and the Mexican main street is beginning to assume the ap- pearance of the frontier town of olden times. The bars and fixtures are from the American side, having been shipped across the Rio Grande when prohibition became effective in Texas. Slot machines, "art" pictures and all of the appurtenances of the Ameri- can saloon have been installed and, except for the Mexican loafers, the visitor might think he was in an American bar.
 "Bootlegging" is developing into a regular traffic since these saloons opened, according to American cus- toms authorities, who have discov- cred that Mexican servants, wash women and laborers who cross. to the American side each morning to work are carrying contraband liquor to the American side and selling it at high price.

ARTISTS OF THE WEST
 IN CULTURAL DRIVE|

SAN FRANCISCO, April 10.-For what is said to be the first time in the history of the United States, the seven arts are meeting in a joint cultural drive" inaugurated in this city under the auspices of the San Francisco Art assoc1at1on.
 A series of correlation of the seven arts conferences began here on Sun day, March 23, when 200 representa- tive painters, writers, sculptors, mu- sicians and critics of California at tended an afternoon breakfast and exposition of American sculpture at the Palace of Fine Arts. A similar conference will be held each Sunday until May 4, the topic being as follows: April 6, American music; April IS, American drama; April 20, American architecture; April 27, American liter ature; and May 4, the dance.
 The idea of bringing together these conventions of artists originated with J. Nilsen Laurvik, director of the Palace of Fine Arts, who directs the proceedings. Incidental to these con- ferences an exhibition of paintings by western men and women has been hung at the Palace of Fine Arts. It consists of 214 pictures, filling eight galleries and represents the work of ninety-one artists from the Pacific coast states, Utah, Colorado and Kansas.

QUARANTINE STATION AT
 PILEDRIVER ABOLISHED

With the abolishing of the quaran- tine station at Piledriver the postal authorities announce an improvement in the mail service of at least two days over the present schedule. At the present time the mail may be taken from Fairbanks to Chitina in from seven to eight days. During the time the quarantine was on 1t gener- ally required from nine to ten days.
 Under the old system the mail was taken to Piledriver in an auto and from there was relayed along the trail in double-enders. At the present time 1t may be taken clear through to Delta, a distance of sixty miles, in one day, against two days as formerly. This tends to reduce the time all along the trail and will make for a better service

A UNIQUE INVENTION
 AS AID TO MARINERS

PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. 12 (by AS. sociated Pressy.-A telltale board in the pilot house of a ship, to record the extinguishing of any of the cleo tric sailing lights, is the product of local firm of electrical marine engi. neers. The device has been installed on many locally built ships and ia said to have proved its value as a safety device at sea.
 The mechanical features are simple. Lights are placed on the ship in pairs. The board has row of lights core spending in number to the lights of the ship. Should one of the ships lights be extinguished for any reason the light in the wheel house goes out other light held in reserve at the mast head or elsewhere is lighted. The navigating officer thus knows at all times whether his sailing lights are in perfect order or not.

SOCIALISTS OF NORWAY MAKE
 LITTLE GAIN

CHRISTIANIA, Jan. 5 (Correspon- dence of the Associated Press) The party of the Lefts, headed by the pre- mier, Gunnar Knudson, lost twenty five seats in parliament in the elec- tion recently held. Instead of eighty seats which it controlled during the last session of the storthing, the party now controls fifty-five seats. The op- position is divided between the Rights, who have increased their membership from twenty-four to fifty-three, and the Socialists, who have eighteen seats in- stead of nineteen, as in the previous parliament. The Knudsen party, or Lefts, still is the strongest division in the storthing, but now has consid- erable less than majority of it's 126 members. It is expected that this will net.
 The most conspicuous event in the election was the defeat of the speaker of parliament, J. l.. Mowinckel of Der. gen, who was regarded as politically one of the strongest men in the house and one of the most staunch support CTS of the cabinet.
 The failure of the Socialists to in crease the number of their voters throughout the country was sur prise, as the party had profited by the recent changes in the suffrage law The party gained only 5000 votes, while the Rights gained 63,000 This is ascribed to the Socialist program to exclude the teaching of religion from schools, to support prohibition and to reform society along the lines of the Russian Bolsheviki
 Although Norwegian women have had the suffrage for more than ten years, no woman ever has been elect ed member of parliament One woman was nominated for that office in the last election, but received only t72 votes. A small fraction of self supporting women have formed an election association with platform asking voters. never to vote for men, but it's influence was not perctptible at the polls.
 Two important issues to come be- fore the parliament at it's session be- ginning this month are a reform in the election system by which the thinly-settled districts now elect the majority of members, while the cities, with a more dense population, have less representation in proportion to their population. Other proposals are a law of initiative and referendum and to solve the prohibition question.

AIRPLANES FOR POLICE
 OF ARCTIC

VANCOUVER, B. C., Feb. 12 (by Associated Press) Remote stretches of Canadian Arctic winter snow and tundra someday will be patrolled by Canada's Royal Northwest Mounted Police in airplanes as we'll as on dog sleds, according to dispatch received here from Ottawa, Canada's capital.
 Many of the constables of the R. N M. P. who fought on French battle fields with the Canadian forces dis tinguished themselves as aviators. These men, on their return, will form the nucleus of a flying force which it is expected will annihilate the dist ances which now render the far north patrols tedious and hazardous, the dispatch said. .
 Trading settlements and other out posts of civilization along the north ern fringe of the continent will not only receive better police protection if airplanes are used but they will also be put in closer touch With the outside world. At present occasional winter patrols reach the posts at Herschel Island and, Fort Macpherson, up on the Arctic. These points should be visited often by airplanes, it is believed.
 And if the airplanes come, Cana da's red-jacketed "unmounted" mount ed police will have iron steeds of the air to ride instead of horses. Up in the Yukon territory the force still clings to the word mounted" in it's name and it's members wear spurs on their boots. There are but very few horses in the entire police, however Dog teams and snow-shoes and sleds and launches are used to get over the country.

PENALTY IS TOO LIGHT
 TO PREVENT BooTLEGolNG

SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 12-"Boot- logging" according to David Gershon, special agent for the department of justice here, should be made penal offense. This, according to Gershon. would be the most effective remedy against the bringing of liquor into dry" territory.
 The present system" said Gershon, with liquor smuggling coming under the classification of misdemeanor. and requiring the smuggler to pay fine. Is merely granting license to any person who chooses to engage in the liquor traffic."
 A term in state prison, Gershon be- lieves. would soon end the nefarious traffic.

STORK BUSIER THAN
 THE GRIM REAPER

An unofficial tabulation of the vital statistics of the Fairbanks precinct shows that ICupid had an off season during the Year 1918. It is probably due to the igibles being in the serv. ice that theIdainty archer had so few marks to sAoot at. It is more than likely that before this time next year he may have good record and high score. As near as can be learned the totals for the year just passed would read abouts as follows: Marriages, 16; births, Fl; deaths (recorded), 26.

Disabled Soldiers Take Notice.
New Orleans, La, June 25th.

ANON 0AASdAiCs A1osf " 0hO <-CbiAs
Disabled soldiers retaining with
the Federal Board of Vocational Ed
ucation believe in passing along the
good thing they have found. A
young fellow, one of the first to 60
to France, came back with shrap-
mel wound in his side. after having
been gassed, bat he still has pluck
enough Lett to undertake a course
in mechanical drafting. He is go
pleased with the change in his fu-
ture outlook that he wants other
wounded boys to know, and he
writes, Il hope someone will take
the trouble to- tell them. Tell the
people for me that those boys ought
to know about it, ought to have a
chance to learn" Another boy in
speaking of his training says,
Without this chance | would be
up against it,"
The government stands ready to
point every disabled soldier in the
country to better job and those
who are availing themselves of the
opportunity are proving that their
aim is to make coed. The soldiers
approval proves that the scheme is
sound.
Any soldier who wants to know
more particulars of the plan should
write to the Federal Board of Voca-
tional Education, Maison Blanche
Annex New Orleans, or he should
apply to the nearest Office of the
board.
