STALLION HUNTING IS
 DANGEROUS RUT LUCRATIVE

Astoria, Ore, Aug. 26.-William M. Hunter, known here as king" of sea- lion hunters, recently collected $SSo bounty from the state for 352 sea-lion scalps, paid at the rate of $2.50 each. Bounty is paid on the sea-lions be- cause they are considered the Pacific Coast salmon's worst enemy. They gath CT off the mouth of the Columbia river here to prey on fish bound upstream.
 Sea-lion hunting is dangerous. Hunter says he tells of narrow escapes from an- gry bulls. Seals, he asserts, are not as awark as they appear but can travel fast.
 Recently one chased him over the rocks but was killed by Hunters companion before it reaches sim.
 Hunter works from a small launch while at sea. Much of his hunting is done on rocky beaches where seals con gregate. He learned his trade-as he terms it-as a mountaineer hunting bear and deer in the Cascade Mountains.
 In addition to the government boun- ty Hunter is paid by salmon cannerymen for destroying seals Estimated on the 1919 pack the rate of the cannery boun- ty would be about S2,000 for every 1000 Sea-lions killed.
 Sea-lions destroy the fish by snapping off their heads, it is said During the sal mon running seasons in the spring, tons of the fish are victims of the sea-lion herds.
 Skins of the sea-lions are used exten- sively in glove manufacturing. Oils and fats also are products.

Court Grants N. H. R. R. Merger Request
Includes Harlem River and Port Chester and Central of New England Compan- ies.

New York, Aug. 26-The New York New Haven and Hartford railroad was authorized to merge or consolidate with itself the Harlem River and Port Chester Railroad company and the Central New England Railway company, in an order signed today by Federal Judge Julius M Mayer The order modifies the dissolu- ton decree of Oct. IT, 1914, entered on the Sherman law monopoly suit institut- ed by the government against the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company. It provides that the merger can be made upon obtaining all necessary consent from the state and federal au, thorities.
 In asking for the modification of the decree, the New Haven railroad informed Judge Mayer that on March 1 last, after termination of federal control, it was in debted to the United States government for substantially s66.000,o ,o0o. This in. cluded it's short term indebtedness of $43,. 000, 900 which matured April 15. 1918, anC for funds advanced for additions and bet terments. and for estimated excess oi debits and credits at the beginning ot federal control.
 The company further stated it was ar ranging for a new government loan o1 $1S,000,000, needed for additional locomo tives, improvements and betterments.
 In order to facilitate plans for refund ing it's debt and for financing its business the New Haven stated it was important that it's property be kept as far as possi ble unencumbered. and believed that tht merger with it's two subsidiary corpora tions would facilitate It's plan for perma nent financing.
 Judge Mayer was told the railroad now desires to mortgage the property ant franchises owned by it through it's subsi diary. the Consolidated Railway company for the benefit of itself and the owner: of the debentures which are payable ir 1880, 1854, 1855 and 1s5s

ANOTHER DOWNWARD
 TENDENCY OF PRICES STORY

Washington Aug. 26.-(By The A. P.) Marked indications that living costs ap- parently have started on their long awaited fall was said by the federal re- serve board today to be contained in it's latest reports An important down. ward tendency" in prices of all commo- dities excepting food is evidenced the board stated, adding that a sharp re- duction in the price of raw products even forecast lower food prices.
 The board said there had been a pro nounced checking" of speculation az well as "a limited curtailment of extravagant expenditure and unnecessary borrow ing" .--..- The boards reports reveal that within the last two months price changes have been marked in all basic raw products but have been most noticeable in wool, silk and leather with corresponding drop of prices in the retail field.
 "The downward tendency of prices" the board said, lis not to be explained by reference to any one cause or set of causes.
 Large stocks of leather and hides which had accumulated" the board as- serted, coupled with falling off in con sumption demand for leather products resulting directly from the very high re- tail prices which were being charged are currently regarded as priEA $rly respon- sible for the drop in leather prices"
 The break in the silk market and sub sequent falling of retail prices of that textile was attributed to speculative ac- tivity in Japan where heavy losses have been sustained by dealers as a result of the refusal of Americans to buy at ex- orbitant prices.
 Lower prices on cotton and cotton products were forecast because of an expected heavy crop combined with a slowing up of demand. The mills were said to be approaching completion of orders already in their hands. Few new orders are being placed.

NOTE FROM SOVIET
 MINISTER TO BALF0CR

London, Aug. 26.-(By The A. P)- The note of Soviet Foreign Minister Ichltcherin to MT. Balfour opens with a comment on the unusual tone of the Anglo-ltalian governments communi. cation which, it says, does not end to help permanent good relations and world peace It calls attention to the action or those governments, which had so oft en accused the Russian government of interfering in the internal affairs of oth- CT states, in intervening in the case of Russian institutions, which, it declares. constitutes an act of interference in Russian affairs sufficient to justify cor respondence by us."
 M. Tchitcherin says, however, that despite natural resentment the Soviet government has decided not to insist up- on this point, but to meet fully the wish es of the Anglo-ItaIian governments in the interest of the establishment of per- manent good will.
 If the British government thinks that the Polish workers by snature are ani- mated by the bolshevism, such a point of view will undoubtedly be welcomed by. those who look forward to spreading bolshevism in Great Britain, says the note.
