nations combined"

 POLICEMAN GETS SHOCK

CHICAGO, Aug. 3o.-Alonzo Wilcox. 70. of Chappin, On tario, had an unusual experi- ence in Chicago. MT. Wilcox, enroute to Iowa to live with a daughter, had $350 in Canad- ian currency, ~and was wonder ing how he could get it changed into currency of the United States. A young man on the train volunteered to solve his problem for him. Wilcox turned the Canadian currency over to the stranger, who told him he would meet him at the Union Station with the United States cash.
 Alonzo went and waited. Neither the stranger nor the money appeared The old man told his troubles to Station Po- liceman Jerry Delaney. The latter, from long years of ex- perience. told him he might as well give up hope of eyer see ing that none again. But just then the stranger appeared with the American equivalent of $350 in Canadian money. The stranger wouldn't even tell his name and it was some time be- fore Officer Delaney could be revived.

NEW YORK, Aug. 30.- George Bernard Shaw, in re ply to letter to Oswald Gar rison Willard, editor of The Ma tion, in which the writer was asked if he intended visiting the United States, said:
 I have no intention of going to prison with Debs or taking my wife to Texas where the ku Klux Klan snatches women from out of hotel yerandas and tars and feathers them.
 If I were dependent upon martyrdom for aareputation, which happily am not, l could go to Ireland. It is a less dan gerous place, but then the voy- age is shorter and much cheaper. {

F. P. Pond with Expedition Seeking Oil Near Point
 Barrow Tn the Arctic.

F. P. Pond, for many years resident of Juneau and a member of the firm of Winter & Pond has this summer been with the R. D. Adams party that left San Fran cisco early this spring to investigate oil seepages near Poiat Barrow news of which have been carried in Associated Press dispatches from Nome recently. re
 That oil seepages actually exist in the far north and that claims have been staked by the party is indi- cated by the following dispatches from Nome:
 The Adams party arrived from San Francisco last spring, and char tered the schooner Silverware at Nome. Leaving Nome July 5, the schooner arrived at Wainwright July IA, after considerable difficulty had been experienced in forcing a way through the ice field.
 Obtaining some. natives and skin boats; the party struck inland, go- ing up a small creek, crossing over divide and finally dropping into the Faru River. Following it's course, the party found itself in Dease Inlet, on the Arctic Coast east of Point Barrow, on July 27.
 Oil Seepages Found.
 TWO days later the party sighted oil seepages near Cape Simpson and devoted two days to locating and stalking claims covering the two seepages and adjacent country.
 The oil seepages occur on two or three conspicuous hills of the barren and mountainous Cape Simpson, the dispatch continues. The largest seepage rises at a point near the top of prominent hill, four miles south west of the cape and more than a mile inland, but the black stain of the oil on the hillside ma be seen on a clear day from the shore of Smith Bay. Another smaller seepage was found on a hill, 400 yards from the shore, approximately three miles northwest of Cape Simpson. The flow Of oil down the. hillside may be seen easily from the coast. The two main seepages are sim liar the source being well up the hill. Both flow several hundred ards into lake.
 "A Standard Oil party of pros- pectors. which left Nome about the same time as the Adams party. is now investigating in, the same To- cality
 Survey to Be Undertaken.
 Dispatches from Nome last June Indicated a thorough survey of the whole 300-mile coast. line from Point Barrow to the Canadian boundary at Demareation Point would be un- dertaken by the two parties this summer.
 Existence of lake out of oil,' evidently the same one reported by the Adams party as the receptacle Tor the seepages near Cape Simpson, was reported five years ago by q teacher at Point Barrow. Natives later told of oil bubbling from the tundra in large amounts near the lake.
 Beach coal also has been found along the coast, according to fre- quent reports. occurring in ledges

COLORADO RIVER
 MUST BE PLACED ss BACK IN CHANNEL

FL CENTRIC, Cal. Aug. 30.-The Colorado River must be put back where it belongs and kept there, if the Imperial Irrigation district is to thrive in the future, according to F. N Cronholm, chief engineer and general manager for the district. At present the southern portion of the Colorado, from few miles below Yuma to where the waters enter the gulf of California. forms delta sim liar in character to that of the Nile. When the river rises, it leaves the small cuts and channels that-seam the delta lands, and wanders all over Lower California, sometimes threat ening to break back along the irri- gation system into the Imperial Val, ley, and always, causing the land owners anxious hours and large exr penditures for protection.
 Mir. Cronholm told a recent meet ing of the irrigation district direc- tors that it would cost about $2,S0O,- 900 to stop this trouble. His plans contemplate strengthening the river channel, defining it so clearly that it win stop the river waters, and mak- ing assurance doubly sure by con- structing additional protective levees. At a cost of $275.OOO he would also divert the river into Pescadera basin. strengthen the three existing leyees which lie between the principal streams and the valley lands, and would make complete land and aerial survey of the whole Colorado River system for the future guidance of flood fighters.a - .Sk
 The total cost of these changes would be about three million dollars MT. Cronholm estimated. That IS a lot of money, he said. but as the an nual bill for preventing river rayages and repairing flood damages is close to 10 per cent of that figure, it would pay eventually and insthe meantime would end uncertainty about >flood losses. .s ,f sss'
