 of the present city of Victoria, the island was infested with cougars, which in other parts of the continent are known as partners, pumas and mountain lions. Then British CoIum- bia was part of the Hudson Bay Conn pany's empire, the last vestiges of which are fast disappearing, as the company is selling out its remaining g lands in the prairie provinces to farm settlers.
 War was declared upon the big cats in pioneer times and they were al- most exterminated. In recent years they have increased alarmingly and now are a menace to remote farms. The slaughter by cougars of pigs, calves and sheep cuts a serious figure in a farmers profits.
 The presetn campaign. it is believ- ed, will wipe them out. The financial encouragem ents, 1t Is said. are the largest ever offered in the history of North American wild animals. Not a cougar, it is expected, will be left alive on Vancouver Island in another A

PAY $1OO MONTHLY TO CAT HUNTERS IN
 VANCOUVER

Victoria, B. C.. Nov. 1S-The Brit ish Columbia Game Conservation Board has inaugurated a campaign against cougars on Vancouver 1slnd. It has offered hunters $100 a month salary and a bounty of $40 and $55 an animal. If under these conditions a hunter killed a cougar a day his monthly income would be between $1,500 and S1,S00. In addition, the hunter will own the cougar pelts. which are worth from $10 to SIP at market prices. Counties differ ac- cording to districts. The bounty Is S55 in sheep areas and $40 in regions in which no sheep are raised.

The development came when attor- neys for ReveH presented a motion setting forth the plea that the jury commissioners had violated the law by placing more names in the box than allowed by law. It was asserted that the law stipulated that 250 names should be placed in the box and sealed, but on the names being; counted it was found that 252 had been placed therein. Judge Love ruled that the point was a good one and uuashed the aff1davits and indict- ments against the clerk. who was ac- cused of embezz1ing StaIe funds The judge also ordered court to stand ad : journed until a new venire could be summoned.

Don't Let Reaction
Divide and Conquer

Every attempt to discredit or
weaken the combination between the
progressive farm organizations and
the progressive labor organizations
united in the Peoples Reconstruc-
tion League and the All-American
Cooperative Commission is directly
playing into the hands of the reac-
tionary business interests which in
the past, by keeping farm and city
labor fighting each other, have been
able to mulct both, and secure con-
troll of legislative bodies. Every
friend of progressive farmers, pro-
gressive labor and progressive poll
cies will back the Peoples Recon-
struction League and the All-Amer-
lean Cooperative Commission. Every
farm and labor leader who is will
ing to accept the program of both
organizations is cordially invited to
cooperate directly and continuously
with the two organizations

Commissioner Turner wants to
know and is trying to find out how
Old Crow whiskey, bottled in Ken
lucky in the spring of 1921, "un-
der federal permit for medical pur-
poses," could arrive in Washington
via British Columbia in 60 days
To find out the commissioner wrote
the Federal Prohibition Commission
at Washington, D. c., to investi-
gate. In his letter the Everett
Commissioner said:
"On May 8, 1921, the Everett
police department captured boot
iegger's automobile loaded with
whiskey, carrying labels to the eff
feet that it was bottled in the Spring
of 1921 in Kentucky, under federal
permit for medical purposes.
"If / understand the law correct
ly, transportation of intoxicants in
interstate commerce is forbidden.
vet here we find intoxicating liquor
bottled under federal permit in Ken
lucky brought into the state of
Washington from British Columbia
within approximately 60 days. Will
you not institute an inquiry trac-
ing this shipment from the distillery
of w. & A. Gaines, otherwise known
as the Old Grow distillery, with a
view to learning who is responsible
for its transportation in both inter-
state and foreign commerce, and
also how it got into bootlegger's
possession within such a short
time"

Cornerstone of
The X. of c. War
Memorial Bldg.

About 600 people attended the
ceremony of laying the cornerstone
of the new Knights of Columbus
War Memorial building Sunday af-
ternoon. The program was brief
and simple.
John b. McCann, president of the
board of trustees, opened the pro-
gram with brief talk, and DR..
w. S. Durand, representing the
building committee, told of the need
of the building in this city. He
said it would serve the same pur-
pose as the Y. M. C. A., which is
not sufficient to take care of all
the young people.
James H. Kane, an attorney of
Seattle, was speaker of the after
noon. He pointed out the need of
the building and it's value in the
community where all activities
would be conducted recognizing
neither race or creed. He also
spoke of the 100 per cent pa
triotism of the K. of C. organi-
zation, in giving a brief resume of
its work.
The blessing of the cornerstone
was given by the Rev. H. p San-
don, pastor of the Immaculate Con-
ception Church, and chaplain of the
local order.
The basement of the building is
finished and work of construction
will progress until its completion.

THE RELEASE OF ALL AMERICAN
CITIZENS DEMANDED OF RUSSIA

Washington, July 23.-Formal de.
mand for release of American pris.
oners in Russia has been made or
the soviet authorities by Secre-
tary Hughes. The state department
was advised today that the COM
munication had been handed to the
soviet representative at Reval yes
terday by Consul Albrecht.
The text of the curt communica-
tion dispatched July 25 has not
been made public. 1t is understood
however, to be a brief insistence
that the Americans be released be-
fore there can be any thought of
better relations between the United
States and Russia. This action was
taken in the name of humanity and
because all efforts to secure the
release of the Americans, made
through the Red Choss, have failed.
What course will be taken by the
United States government, II the
soviet authorities ignore or refuse
to accede to the demands, was not
indicated.
The dispatch of the communica-
tion was timed so it would reach
the Russians approximately stimuli
taneously with the message sent by
Secretary Hoover in response to the
appeal made by Maxim Gorky. The
state departments message is re-
garded officially as wholly inde-
pendent of the HooverGorky cor
respondence.
There are now held as prisoners
in Russia eight or ten Americans.
A larger number are believed to be
detained within the borders of Rus
sia, some of whom are restricted to
limited areas.

Associated Press.)-An official de-
mand by Secretary of State Hughes

ASSOCIATION TO
MARKET CROPS

Chicago, July 26.-American farm
ers are combining here to control
all their own marketing facilities.
Up to date this cooperative
movement has resulted in formation
of a $100,000,000 grain growers as
sociation, to take charge of dispos-
ing of the national wheat crop.
And now plans are being develop
ed for organization of cooperative
farmers livestock commission houses.
Other preparations under way
call for:
Cooperative wool markets.
Cooperative hide markets.
A committee of Is which has been
at work for the past three months
Is about ready to report on steps
needed to start the livestock ex-
changes in operation.
Heading this body is C. H. Gus
tafson, chairman, who is also presi-
dent of the United States Grain
Growers, Inc.
AS explained by James R. How
ard, president of the American Farm
Bureau Federation, an organization
made up of most of the agricultur-
lists in America, which is leading in
the movement, the purposes of the
farmer controlled and farmer-oper-
ated groups are:
To stabilize the market so the
farmer gets the benefit of the eco
nomic working, not the manipulated
working, of the law of supply and
demand.
To obtain the farmers demanded
cooperative rights.
To lessen the cost of distribution.
To bring about universal prosper
ity by stimulating agricultural ac-
tivities.
To obtain a square deal for the
farmer and the public, impossible
now because of the interference by
market gamblers.
"The American farmer today in
his demand for cooperative rights
challenges all other peoples thru
nationwide and worldwide cooper
alton to replace abnormalcy," says
Howard.
All the cooperative marketing
ventures in operation or being
planned by the farmers will be non
profit sharing save in the savings
paid to farmers on the cost OF
handling their commodities.
Members of the executive commit
tee now whipping the program into
effect say the consumer will be
chiefly benefited by paying less for
food, while the farmer will receive
more for his labor.

ploying only nonuniOn labor.
I'VE have offered to work with
nonunionists, we have offered to ar
bitrate other differences, and we
have at all times, and now, agree
that a man can belong to a union,
or not, as he sees fit" said Mooney.
Fred Ingram, a negro, testified
that he worked in the mines for so
years, was discharged and evicted
from company house when he
joined the union. His wife is a
school teacher and he was denied
permission to visit her in the min
ing town The witness said that
the sheriff told him he could not
communicate with anybody but God
and you'd better hurry if you
want to do that"
In answer to the coal owners at
torneys that it is possible for miners
to earn from $500 to 500 a month
in that field, witnesses for the
union presented government reports
which show that the highest yearly
average wage was 81 ,066 in 1918.
w. E. Hutchison. a miner, said
employees were forced to patronize
company stores, WhlCh cnaIgeu
higher prices than similar estab-
lishments owned by private individ-
uals.
1T is an open and known fact
that union men will not be EN-
ployd in that section, then, and this
is the real issue in West Virginia ?"
Senator Kenyon asked
1T is" replied Hutchison. THE
mine owners tell us the moss can
grow in the tunnels and the mines
lay idle forever before they will

Washington, July 27.-President
Harding today had succession of
appointments with organizations and
persons who have been urging him
to release Eugene V. Debs and 9th

Announcement of the appoint
ments followed reports that Debs
and possibly the others convicted
of violations of wartime laws are
to be released soon.
Officials refused to comment on
the reports, but it was learned that

Harding had appointments today
