DOGS DESTROY SHEEP IN
HAGEN-CUSHING CORRAL

Some time during last night dogs
gained access to the sheep corral at
the Hagan & Cushing packing plant in
this city, whre there were Is fat NUT
ton sheep. Four of tn sheep were
killed outright and the bodies so multi
ated that they were unfit for use, and
the others were injured to such an ex-
tent that it was necessary to kill them
this morning. 1t is not known who
the dogs belonged to, nor how they
gained entrance to the corral.
In the past there has been a con-
siderable loss on the part Of sheep
owners because of the depredations of
dogs. A few years ago, ON two oc-
casions, dogs broke into the corral
at the university farm and killed and
injured sheep valued at several thous-
ands of dollars. Since then special
care has been taken to guard against
dogs

Airplane passengers sometimes be-
came too confident, remarks the
London Daily News, aviation cores
pondent, referring to the following tale
reaching him from the Continent
A passenger was flying from Berlin
TO Amsterdam en- route for London,
the pilot being one Of our best airmen.
AS the passenger had flown many
-irnes before, he thought he would like
TO stunt, and requested the pilot to
show him what he could do
AS a result, the airpIane climbed
until the air became almost too thin
TO breathe and then descended to a
lower atmosphere in succession Of
the most appalling stunts imaginable,
the machine being made to do every
possible thing that any airplane had
ever achieved
This proved too much for the passen-
ger, and on arrival at Amsterdam he
cancelled the rest of the flight to Lon
don and travelled by boat and train.
He has, however, since recovered and
has taken to the air once more

NO FLIES IN ALASKA
But Country Is Full Of Mosquitoes
in Summer.
Ladies Forced to Wear Layer Of Pa
per Under Stockings as Armor
Plate Against Vicious Attacks
Of Insects.

ashington.-Alaska has millions
Of mosquitoes, but not one house fly.
This is the information that is brought
back from that territory by DR.. j. M.
Aldrich Of the United States national
museum, who made an insect survey
there this summer.
Hordes Of mosquitoes during the
| Alaskan summer in places as far
north as Seward and Fairbanks, pro-
vide continual entertainment for the
inhabitants, who, however, do not
have to contend with the ravages OF
the domestic fly.
"When the ladies Of Alaska wish to
wear thin and> filmy silk stockings
they have to place a protective lay
er Of paper underneath as an armor
| plate against the mosquitoes" Is one
| story that he has to tell. LabOrers
wear mosquito nets and heavy gloves.
Smudges are . national institution
there They are everywhere. In the
interior the Alaskan summer is suf-
ficiently warm for swimming. But
this sport must be accompanied by
ceremony. The boys construct hut
Of branches on the bank Of the stream,
protect it from mosquitoes by a
smudge, and enter and exit from the
water with notwithstanding dash.
Alaskan mosquitoes do not act as
carriers of malaria and yellow fever
as do those of the United States and
tropics, but they are very vicious.
They literally fill the air. In one
sweep of an insect-collecting net about
his head, Doctor Aldrich was able to
capture ITO mosquitoes by actual
count.
The absence of house flies in Alaska
has raised the question as to whether
there is northern limit to the house
fly. Heretofore, it has been assumed
that the domestic fly accompanies
man wherever life is possible, but Doc
tor Aldrich's observation has thrown
a new light on the subject. The alb
sence of horses and their manure
in large quantities may be a minor
reason for the absence of the house
fly, but climate seems to be the prin-
cipaI one. Even in the southern end
of Alaska's panhandle at Ketchikan
there are salmon factories, houses
and stores all unscreened, and with |
absolutely no traces of the common |
fly few of the rarer flies that are |
found in the United States also live |
in Alaska, but in Insignificant num-
bers.
Insects from the interior Of Alaska
were collected by Doctor Aldrich for
the first time. The valley of the Tan
ana river, a tributary of the Yukon,
is very much like the northern part
of Minnesota, and the region around
Lake Superior so far as insects are
concerned, he has found. Doctor Al
drich's trip extended from Seward
to Fairbanks, along the route of the
partially-completed government rail-
way.

AND WHY NOT?

Not long ago while A. w. Laird,
general manager of the Potlatch
Lumber Company, was back east he
paid visit to the state insane asyl-
UNI while waiting for a train. A
harmless inmate was his guide, and
as they came out in the lobby Of the
main building Mr.. Laird happened to
look up at the clock. Its time horri-
fled him as his train was to depart
at that hour, and he pulled out his
watch and gasped:

nomic Consequence of the Defeat of
the Peace Treaty."
Mr.. Hull was defeated for Congress-
in the last election, principally. it
is claimed by his friends, because Ne
remained on the job here, instead of
campaigning in his district. He
helped. however, throughout the cam
paign in re-electing some of his col
leagues from close districts.

Representative Hull was conspicuous

In a separate resolution accepting
Mr.. Whites resignation the committee
expressed 'its genuine appreciation
of Mr.. Whites faithful and unselfish
service to the party"
Fight Called Useless.
Former United States Senator J.
Hamilton Lewis of Illinois, who at
tended the democratic national COM

fight between the McAdoo and Cox

profitless as "a mutinyf in. an army

of a drill sergeant for dress parade" !"
He said the conflict between the
McAdoo and Cox forces oven the or
ganization would make former Vice
President Thomas r. Marshall the
nominee for President in 1924.
Lewis advocated the abolition of the
democratic national committee and
all other party national committees,
declaring they are not needed in ma

NEW YORK, November 2.-Foreign
competition. '"aided and abetted by
Americans" was declared today by
United States Senator Joseph E. Rams
deli of Louisiana, in an address before
the Advertising Club Of New York to be
one Of the underlying causes that are
crippling the Development Of the Ameri-
can merchant marine" Nearly score
Of American railroads. he said, includ-
ing some Of the greatest systems. have
filed with the Interstate Commerce
Commission copies Of contracts IN
which they agreed to use their best
efforts to secure freight "for foreign
shipping companies to the exclusion of
others"
Contracts Cited ~ Examples.
Senator Ransdell cited as examples
contracts between the Pennsylvania
system and Furness, Witty & CO., a
British corporation; between the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad and the
North German Lloyd line, and the
Boston and Albany railroad and the
Cunard line.
Exclusive use of facilities is grant
free wharfage and freight handling is
given, special arrangements on through
bills of lading are made and many
other privileges accorded.
"The Boston and Albany railroad in
its agreement with the Cunard line
grants the free and exclusive use Of
certain piers, and, in addition, further
pledges under certain conditions a re-
duced rate of 21s cents per hundred
pounds for freight in carload lots.
''As a result of the operation of
the various contracts well over a
million tons Of freight are turned
over annually by American railroads
to foreign ships.
Notes an "Amasins" Aspect.
"The most amazing aspect of the
situation, however. Is that the rail-
United States Treasury, have been
utilizing their resources to build up
the business and swell the profits
Of foreign competitors of the gov
ernment's shipping. In other words,
is placed in the position Of using
its money to foster competition with
itself. If the American railroads are
not prepared to give to the American
merchant marine the same aid they
extend to foreigners steps should be
taken to end these conditions"
Aside from foreign competition,
failure of American shipowners td
assure .:dependability of service" was
declared by Senator Ransdell to be
a probable explanation for the trans
portation of such large proportion
Of American commerce in alien bot
toms.

said, and a solution is possible only
WITH the cooperation of all parts of
the United States.
THE one great outstanding fact is
that the government-owned Ameri-
can merchant marine has been put to
the acid test Of competition and has
been found wanting. And for a year
and half there has been on the
statute books Of the nation provi-
sions that would have enabled us to

for the efficacy Of the 5ones bill than
these threats of retaliation. These
cries Of retaliation do not lack
