Finlay, or Benetsee, was an tin
Grant trader among various Indian
tribes from British Columbia to Cali
fornia. He dealt in trinkets, beads,
fancy colored cloths, powder and
lead; also at times whisky and rum
which he exchanged for furs and buff
falo robes. He acquired consider
able herd of horses in California,
which he brought with him to the
Rocky mountains.&
Having thus BECOME somewhat in
dependent, he chose for home a
pleasant spot in what is today Powell
county on Benetsee creek, afterward
known to fame as Gold Creek. In
this quiet retreat he felt safe from
the raids of the Blackfeet, and from
that base continued his trade to the
Pacific coast. After one of these
trips, in 1852, Finlay came home in
fected with the gold fever, which
had ragged around him in the Califor-I
mia camps. He was impressed with
the remarkable resemblance of the
country in general surrounding his
ranch to the district in California
where he had seen gold washed, and
particularly impressed by the resem
blance of the sand and gravel bars of
Gold creek to the streams he had seen

 Ruling Permitting Liquor Aboard
 Alien Ships Is Against Ala. LaU

his rights in the matter under a United States treasury department ruling.
 In {, his letter to the solicitor, Sheriff Holeombe. says that In or 'der to enable state and county Jf-' ficersfto uphold the laws of Ala bama, it would seem that the state should seek g change in the ruling of the treasury department, and that all masters having liquor on board a foreign vessel should be required to have them declared on their manifest, and placed under seal while in port and to be sealed in such manner that it will be lm- possible for the captain or any cf the crew to gain access to it with out breaking the seal. Otherwise it is going to be a difficult matter the sheriff declares, to uphold the laws of the state.
 Explaining. the sheriffs letter says that it very often happens that his department has reasonable grounds Ito suppose that the prohi- bition law is being violated by ships arriving in this port without being at the time able to prove such is the case, and it is only by searching a vessel and finding liquors aboard that he is able to proceed in court

 Acts of Sabotage
By Associated Press

iSy Associated Press
 Lisbon. October 3.-Traffic at this port has been almost paralyzed by a strike of the longshoremen and steve dores and by workers on the state rail- ways. Meantime the city has been given an evil appearance by a strike of the garbage wagon drivers and street clean CTS
 Several foreign vessels were compelled to leave the harbor without discharging their cargoes of provisions, greatly needed in this poorly rationed country, because of the harbor strike Labor trou- bles spread also to the crews of mer- chant ships and some officers joined with the men in quitting work on board the steamers.
 Pieces of machinery were removed from boats used for transporting passen- gers and provisions across the Tagus river' and the boilers of some of the smaller craft were filled with salt water so that when the government sent na- val forces to operate them the boilers would not make steam
 As a result of the state railway strike Lisbon was threatened with a dearth of provisions. The streets were cluttered with ill-smelling dirt heaps and filth owing to the strike of the cleaners As usual, when strikes occur here. re- ports were spread that they were due to a bolshevist plot emanating from Mos COW. Officials of the government issued note stating that they were informed Of the details of a proposed general reyo- lutionary strike but were prepared to take steps to suppress any disorders I W hich might result

By Associated Press

Chicago, November 17.-After two months of depression there has been a upward turn in the automobile busi- ness. both pleasure cars and trucks, according to Alfred Reeves, general manager of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, who addressed ;he Automotive Equipment association here today.

Present production is not averaging more than 50 per cent except in the case of three or four factories. The full year, however, will exceed all rec ords. approaching l.900.000 cars and ,o00 trucks. Car renewals are about 100000 a year.
