COUNCIL TO ACT
ON GAS REPORT
Disapproval Of Agreement Ex-
pected at Session Tonight.

The city council as a committee or
the whole, will report the ordinances ask
ing ratification Of the contract amending
the franchise of the Citizens Gas Com
pany out Of committee tonight. There
are strong indications that the report
will be unfavorable and that the councips
final action will be to refuse to approve
the agreement.
The agreement binds the gas company
to make s1000,000 worth of specified i'm
provements by Dec. 81, 1921, and provide
that gas shall be rationed so as to give
cook stoves preference during times Of
shortage until next June.
Influential members of the council have
stated that they are not convinced that
the amendments are necessary and that
they fear they may be used as a loop
hole through which the gas company may
seek higher rates. Some councilmen ars
insisting that the board of public works
enforce the present provisions OF the
franchise, requiring gas of 600 British
thermal unit quality, before seeking to
change that instrument. The average
quality in the month Of October, the last
on which a report has been made public,
was only 547.
The councilmen say that amendments

Human ELbOW Joint
Forms Handle for
Mans Walking Stick

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. e.
it's a perfectly good walking stick,
Lieut. H. P. Peck, Z. s. A, just back
from the Philippines, will relegate it to
his curIo collection instead of carrying
it daily.
The cane is magnificent piece OF ma
hogany. It's the handle that worries
Peck. It IS made of a portion Of the
elbow joint Of a human arm.
THE elbow Joint which forms the
top of the cane said Lieutenant Peck,
"is portion Of the upper left arm of a
religious zealot or crazy hermit. It is
tribal custom Of these men, when they
have worked themselves into a fananicai
late bordering on madness to set forth
from home armed with barangs, or ma
tive knives, and slay every man, woman
and child in their paths.
The datto who gave me the cane de-
Tended himself against the attack of one
OF these mad priests and killed him In
the ensuing combat. AS a token OF
friendship he rendered me the cane on
which be had mounted a portion Of his
victims left arm.
The cane Is supposed to ward of
evil spirits, but for an ordinary walk
ing stick I would prefer to have one
with a less grewsome handle attached
to It." said Peck.

GAME PARADISE
FOUND IN NORTH
Canadian Wilds Offer Pioneer
Sport for Hunters.

ANRORA, Ill. Dec. 6.-The baby
grizzly bears, one brown bear, one
black bear, three big-horn sheep, six
mountain goats, FIVE caribou and two
moose comprise the bag brought out
of the Mount Robson country In forty
days hunting expedition by Morris
Alderman. Or. Frank Romig, J. Paul
Thompson OF Cleveland and DIR. Clar-
ence T. Hardy OF Milwaukee.
The party struck into the mountains
at Jasper Park on the Grand Trunk Pa
ifcc railway with four guides, cook
and twenty-five pack horses. Their
main camp was in the heart of the
range northeast OF Mount Robson. Mr.
Alderman, who has hunted big game in
many parts Of the world, declared the
region was the best big game country
in North America. He reported seeing
500 mountain goats and 125 big horns
The abundance OF game is due to the
overflow from the protected area OF
Jasper Park.
Mr., Alderman had narrow escape
from death in an encounter with a she
grizzly and two yearling cubs He
had leveled his rifle at one Of the cubs
when the mother bear rushed upon him
from the brush ten feet distant. a quick
shot bowled her over dead with one Of
her paws six inches from the doctors
feet.
Dr. Hardy with a guide came upon
big grizzly that had dug himself into
the snow for his winters Information.
The guide wounded the animal. With
a growl Of rage the brute charged the
park train, scattering the horses and
making a swipe with his paw at Dr.
Hardy as he passed. The bear got away
IN the brush without being killed.
