Gallizier rises fairly well to the occasion

his crimes nicely through long series of
intrigues and adventures centering about
the beautiful but rather naughty Augusta

Wolf Bounties Paid by Mistake
for Coyote Pelts.

Bounties received for the destruc-
ton of harmful wild animals fire.
quently furnish an opportunity to
fitch money from public treasures
under false pretenses. The bounty
system, applied to the capture of pre-
datory animals and rodents, has
many disadvantages and is usually
much more expensive in the econom-
ic value of results obtained than the
plan advocated by the biological Sur
vey of the United States Department
of Agriculture of putting experienced
hunters on salariers in infested terri
itory. The opportunity for dishon-
est practice under the bounty system
is well illustrated by a case that
came to the attention of the preda-
tory animal inspector of the Biologi-
cal Survey stationed at Olympia,
Wash.
The auditor for Grant County, af-
ter paying out much money in boun-
ties for timber wolves" decided to
send one of the wolf" pelts to the
district inspector of the Biological
Survey for Identification. It was
pronounced coyote pelt, although
somewhat darker and larger than
the average.
The hunter who brought in the
pelts claimed that the animals were
driven down from the timber to the
lowlands by forest fires. The local
coyote bounty is 81, while that of
the wolf is SIS.

PROCURE BUTTER FROM FISH

It is not generally known that the
Indians of British Columbia and Alas
ka obtain their butter from a fish

1t is from six to eight inches long and
very fat.
Every summer this fish comes from
the ocean up the rivers to spawn, like
salmon. Millions are taken in nets.
First they are thrown into rough bins
made Of cedar logs, where they lie for
a few days to soften in the sun.
Then they are placed in great cedar
watts of boiling water, the latter being
heated by hot stones which are dropped
into them. This primitive method of
heating has been found to produce bet
ter butter than when the fish are boiled
In the more orthodox fashion.
AS the oil rises to the top 1t is

has the appearance of lard. Beauti-
fully white, it is not easy to detect it
from butter, there being not the slight
est odor of fish abourit. The Indians
pack it in water-tight cedar boxes,
making enough of this fish butter dur

UNITED STATES FORCES
TURK TO BACK DOWN
lea Against Deportation of Greeks
From ConstantinopIe.

Lausanne, Dec. 13.-America's pro-
test against deportation of Greeks
from Canstantinople has been needed.
Turkey now is willing to permit Greeks
to remain in the Turkish capital 'un-,
der certain specified conditions"
The conditions under which Greeks
may remain are not as yet divulged,
the Turkish delegates to the Near
East conference simply stating that
Turkey agreed in principle to the
United States demand and would con-
sent to Greeks remaining in the cap
ital under conditions which later will
be specified.
Further discussions of the question
Of exchange of populations between
Greece and Turkey are to take place
at an early date. Former Premier
Venizelos announced that Greece was
ready to renounce the entire plan for
exchange of nationals.
The American protest against ex-'
pulsiOn, which was voiced by Minister
Grew. December Z, was backed by tho
entente nations, who also urged the
Turks to change their intentions.
The announcement affords hope that
the question may be amicably ar
ranged.
