representative OF The Record. who
visited Contact this week TO gather
for the readers OF this paper relia-
BILE and authentic information on one
OF the most important projects OF
feeting this section, now underway.
VIII Survey at Once
Indications are the crew will be
on the ground this week TO start pre-
limiuary survey on the road. Mr..
Gray had this assurance the first OF
the week. and stated there was now
nothing to hinder this work, mas
much as the snow was all off the
summit between Contact and Wells.
Regarding the settlement OF the
bonus problem. II seems quite evil
dent that before the Idaho Central
Railroad company will proceed with
construction southern Idaho must
make good It's bonus pledge, in the
opinion of Mr.. Gray.
Only 100000 More
"There is at present approx
fmateIy $3.50, 900 pledged ON the
half million dollar bonus said

THREE OYSTER SHELLS
 DUG NEAR T0MAHAWK

Who ate the oysters and did the Indians open the shells with toma- hawk, are the questions which are being asked regarding three oyster shells and a tomahawk head now in the American Museum of National His tory under examination by Dr. Clark Wissler, curator of Anthropology.
 They were found by the contractor laying the Fisk avenue sewer, 240 feet south of Polk avenue, New York, 55 feet below the surface, and taken by President Maurice E. Connolly of the Borough of Queens, to whom they were presented, to the museum. The shells or oysters are thought to have been brought in by an underground stream and the tomahawk is appar- entity genuine.

REARS "PUP;;'
 PET GROWS
 INTO LION

DEFIANCE, Ohio, Aug. 30.-About a month ago Baltimore & Ohio brakeman carried to Mrs. c. C. Shirley, who operates small restaurant pa tronized largely by railroad men, a basket containing what he thought was a pup. He found it in an empty freight car, nearly dead from 5tarva- tion.
 Mrs. Shirley fed her new ct. nam- ing it "The Bum"
 Now the animal is developing a shaggy mane on a massive head, walks impatiently in a stride, strikes with it's paw and grows. It has never parked. It's hide is developing peculiar mark ing of splotches. It prefers raw meat diet and is growing rapidly.
 It is lion!
 Mrs. Shirley believes the cub was stolen from a menagerie by some help CT who was forced to abandon it while making his getaway on a freight.

ing with regard to the projected Behring Straits telegraph line with Prime Minister Gortschcoff at St. Pet ersburg in the winter of 1865.
 MT. Sibley was asked how the
 merican company proposed to ac- ,Suire 'ight-of-way across the terri tories of British America and the Hud- son Bay Company. He replied that he thought there would be little difficulty in securing a right-of-way over the territory referred to, except in the case of the Hudson Bay Company; that while in London he had submit ted the matter to the Directors of the Hudson Bay Company, who did not welcome the proposition with enthus- iasm and as consequence he though it might be necessary to acquire a considerable interest in the Hudson Bay Company.
 The Minister asked him what would be the probable cost to the American company, to which MT. Sibley replied, stating considerable sum, which drew from the Minister the remark that it was not worth any such sum; that Russia would sell the whole of Alaska for a sum not much bigger At the end of the interview, MT. Sibley asked the Minister whether he intend ed his remark in regard to Alaska to be taken seriously and whether he might bring it to the attention of the United States Government. To which the Minister replied that he was quite serious in his suggestion and had no objection to the suggestion being made to the United States Government MT Sibley lost no time in communicating this suggestion to General Cassius M. Clay, at that time Minister of the Unit ed States Court of Russia, who in turn at once communicated the information to Secretary Seward at Washington. The result, of course, is known to verybody.-The Alaskan Churchman.

VOLUMES COULDN'T SAY MORE

A curious sidelight on German standards of probity is found in re- port of the case of Lieutenant Spind- Ter, who commanded the German ship Libau, which landed Easement in Ire land and was captured says the Out look. Spindler gave up four pounds when taken prisoner, saying it was all he had "When his captor asked, On your honor?' Spindled replied, No, no more'" A search revealed 21 five pound notes concealed in his cloth ing. The attorney general asked him: ''Do you think in the circumstances you were entitled to give an untruth- full answer?' Lieutenant Spindler re- piled: There may be different points of view--the point of view of an Eng fish officer and the point of view of a German officer" Volumes could speak no more.

OF HISTORICAL INTEREST
By HIRAM w. SHELBY

(Being called to Rochester, N. r., last summer while on my last furlough it was my good fortune to meet MT. Sibley. During our conversation MT. Sibley related the facts below. We are happy to contribute something of historical interest heretofore unpub- 1ished I am prefixing the following quotation from a letter recently re- ceived from this valued contributor. --Ed.)
 "In reply also to your letter asking . for a statement in black and white of the facts I related to you at my house of the manner in which the purchase of Alaska was first brought up, I am enclosing such a statement.
 '"The facts as here recited were told to me by my father on a number of occasions and I have every reason to believe they are accurate.
 'In the biography of Secretary Sew ard, written by his son, these facts do not appear, probably due to the fact that they have never been brought to the attention of the biographer."

FIGHT WARM
 IN PRIMARY
 WASH. STATE

SEATTLE, Aug. oU.-lne coming primary election in the State of Wash ington promises to be a stiff fight. Contests for the seat of Miles Poin- dexter in the United States Senate are being waged by four aspirants, policies of the present incumbent, who appears to have strong hold, never theless, on the electorate. Ever since his arrival in the state to carry on the campaign, Senator Poindexter has been ceived with acclaim by the people. Everywhere his meetings have been enthusiastic and largely attended. He has thrown down the gauntlet and de- fled the Hearst papers and interests. He quotes from his record in Congress to prove that he has kept the faith and is entitled to the support and en- state of Washington.
 The primary election will be held on September 12 and the wise ones in politics predict that Senator Poin- dexter will largely lead all his com petitiors. If the opposition to him were united on one strong candidate the result might be a matter of con- lecture, but under the circumstances few predict his defeat.
 The Republican senatorial aspirants who are making an active fight in the contest include Judge Austin E. Grif- fiths, port commissioner; George B. Lamping, Mrs Frances c. Axtell and George H. Stevenson. Mrs. Axtell is a resident of Bellingham, while the others reside at Seattle. Senator Poindexter continues to maintain his residence at Spokane, and the East side consider that they are entitled to the nomination because the other senator, Wesley L. Jones removed from Yakima to Seattle several years ago.
 For representative each of the three western side men now in office prom ise to have contests, while on the other side of the mountains the re- verse seems to be the case. In the Seattle district, Congressman John r. Miller will probably have a hard fight to retain his seat He now has two avowed Republican opponents in the field, Councilman Philip Tindall and Alvin IT. Moore.
 In the Northwest, the second dis trict. Congressman Lin H. Hadley is now completing his fourth term. He is sure of one, if not two lively con- tests. In the Republican primaries, he will be opposed by two Snohomish county men, Maj. A. c. Turney, Ev- erett police commissioner, and N. J. Craigie, Snohomish County ommis- sioner. &e
 In the Third district, the southwest, Albert Johnson will be opposed in the Republican primaries. o. M. Nelson of Montesano has filed, but the fight is not expected to be even interest ing, as Johnson will likely have walk away.
 It is entirely possible that Congress man J. Stanley Webster Of Spokane, the storm center of two bitter politi cal fights in 1918 and 1920, may find his second request for reelection granted with less fuss and feathers by opponents than any other of Wash ington's five congressman.
 Down in the Fourth Congressional district, Dr. John W. Summers, who has served two terms, may also pos sibly be unopposed.
