POLICE USE PAPER BULLETS
Tear Gas Bombs Also Part Of the

Powers of Detroit.

Detroit, Mich.-Tear gas bombs and
paper bullets are now part Of the
regular equipment Of the police In the
fourth city in America.
Police Commissioner Inches felt that
machine guns were needed by Detroit
to help in dispensing mobs. So the city
bought number of sub-machine guns,
to shoot 1,500 bullets a minute, but the
commissioner was afflicted with "A kind
heart and couldn't bear the thought of
the steel jacketed bullets moving men
down just because they happened to
be disorderly.
DIR. Inches suggested that paper bull
lets be made, containing charge Of

paper bullets will not cripple for life
or kill any person, no matter at what
close range they are fired, but will
stop any mob.
The bullets we're found to have just
about the necessary speed and hard
ness to get under mans skin and

Alaska is no place for the wild cat
ter, for the communities are arrayed
against spurious promotions. and all
efforts to float such enterprises are
baked by the public and press.
AS an illustration of how the Alas

capital in sufficient volume to drill one

Anchorage recently jointly financed
a cannery plant by escrowing all sub
scriptions until sufficient capital was
raised. The cannery was launched and
this season is operating successfully.
1t is the policy of Alaskan capital to
pool with outside capital on all legiti.
mate enterprises and in this manner
the public, as well as legitimate devel-
opers, are protected against buc-

Berlln.-Wildest tales of 'gold-
brickers" in the American army are
surpassed by the story of Karl Sc
beste, formerly private in the Ger
man army, whose varied career has
just landed him In prison for two
years. His story came out during the
court procedure.
Sebeste, who is twenty-five years
old, was clerk in hat factory before
the war and upon being discharged
entered the army, found he didn't care
for that sort of thing and gold
bricked" into being discharged as phys
ically unfit for service. He then drift
ed into the postal service and stole
copiously from letters, for which he
was sentenced to FIVE months In prison.
Promotes Himself. ,
-, Upon his discharge the war was
getting hotter and he was again draft

Having rechperated he was sent to the

hospital In Coblenz. Emerging he pro-
noted himself to the rank of non
commissioned officer and conferred a
decoration of the Iron Cross upon him
self. While in the hospital he had
already laid claim to having been a
student Of theology and with the per-
mission of the chaplain of the hospital
conducted the divine services there
with great success.
Pleasant as the hospital was he was
finally sent back to his outfit, but
managed to escape again in Germany,
where he became the religious instruc-
tor in camp at Spandau. Again he
was successful, but when he tried to
oust the chaplain and have himself
appointed his sinecure ended again
and once more he was sent back to his
unit In France. This time the armis-

charged, he tried the stage. Then

LURE OF THE HILLS DRAWS

Combine Pleasure Trip With Pros
pecting-CompIexion Of Mining
Has Changed.

Anchorage, Alaska. - REIMBURSEMENT
of wages, bringing close approach to
normalcy as applied to mining, has re-
suited in return of the pendulum
toward greater mining activity than
has been experienced in the history of
Alaska since the boom days
While the Alaska railroad was build.
Ing 1t was impossible to obtain help
for mining operations, owing to the
good wages in railroad construction.
Even now there Is a general short
age Of miners throughout the terri
tory, and every man of experience who
cares to work is employed. Mining
takes on an entirely different COM
plexion than few years ago; atten-
tion Is being given to gaining access
to known placer deposits suitable for
hydraulics and dredges, and aside from
this phase of the placer situation
there is little doing save where old
timers have little piece of ground
from which they may sluice out a
grubstake for the winter, and who do
not care to take out fortune.
Mine Much Quartz.
The other phase of the renaissance
In mining is confined to quartz. and
Judging by the encouraging discov-
cries, the apparent permanency of ore
bodies and ability to mine econom-
tcally, the outlook for quartz is ex-
cellent.
Additional prospecting in the VIII
low Creek district has disclosed a
more extended area, and as rapidly
as trails and roadways are extended
the prospector is bringing commercial
properties into being.
So great has become the lure of the
hills that almost all the populous
centers along the railroad are under
going midsummer quietude, every
one who has a grubstake and many
engaged in other lines of business
taking advantage of the ideal condi-
tion in the hills to combine pleasure
trip with prospecting.
"How much does it go to the PAM"
has been supplanted by "What does II
run to the toni" and "How Is the crop
looking?"
Even when big cleanup comes in
there is no excitement, as these things
are becoming everyday occurrences.
Alaska at present needs more in
terest in quartz mining, especially
from outside capital. 1t Is stated, for
local capital is carrying the peak of
development and the lack Of larger
capital is retarding rapid development.
Geological survey engineers are now
making reconnoissances along the rail-
road belt and the result of their find
ings is expected to have a tremendous
effect upon all classes of mining, and

RUSS CANCEL ENGINE ORDER

When the contract was made 1t was
agreed that the engines were to- be
paid for as they were delivered, and
the manufacturers obtained a guaranty

the present financial state Of Russia

WANT OPTIONS ON
CITY PROPERTY

We have been informed that the U.
n. officials while here last week made
the announcement that they wanted
options on several lots in the city, b
be used for depot and switch grounds
IL the railroad is built.
The property desired is that series
of west lots on the block Immediately
north Of the new hotel.
A committee has been appointed by
the Chamber of Commerce to secure
these options, and it is to be hoped
that the owners will be willing to give
them, without holding them up to an
exhorbitant figure.
Never before has Cedar been 50
near to having the much hoped for
railroad from Lund to this city as
now, and from what can be CLEANED
it is only matter of securing right
of ways and the property referred to.
1t is also understood that if the u.
P. builds the road the company will
take over and complete the new ho-
tel.
All owners of real estate in the
neghborhood Of where the line may
go should be willing to give gratis
right Of way, and the owners of the
lots mentioned should be willing to
dispose of them at reasonable figure
and not hold them at an exhorbitant
figure because Of the coming Of a
railroad.

pete.
Arrangements are now being per-
fcted and advertising matter will soon

Would it not be good idea for Ce-
dar to arrange for a race meet to fol-
low that of Parowan and have the
horses come here direct from the meet,
and join with those that Cedar might
Have and can get from st. George and
other towns of Washington County
and several in Lincoln County, Neva-

posed meet at Parowan will be furn-
