PROHIBITION ON PISTOLS
Legislature Makes Possession of Such
Weapons Unlawful.

| "edPoHo UNLAWFUL
According to a report coming from
Columbia, the legislature has passed a
law, or 1t is assured Of passage that
will make the selling or having a pis-
tol of any kind in ones possession a
crime. The intention Of the bill Is to
prohibit pistols In South Carolina.
The author Of the bill declares that
an amazing amount Of crime Is due
directly, and solely to the possession
of pistols, and he believes that many
crimes would not be committed were
pistols not procurable in the state.
1t Is stated that he Is receiving
strong endorsement, and congratula-
tions from many citizens all over the
state which prove that the law Is very
generally regarded as good one, and
that his views upon the subject are
likely to have the hearty approval Of
our best citizens indicating that pub
lie sentiment will be back Of the law
which insures its strict enforcement.
We stand ready to, give our most
hearty approval of this bin. and we
hope that just as soon as it Is passed,
It will receive the signature Of the
governor, and become law at once.
More, we trust that officers will get
on the job and see that the law Is en-
forced to the letter. Let every man
be disarmed, and every place where
these deadly weapons ere stored and
offered for sale notified to get rid Of
them forthwith.
Pistol toting Is just like liquor, as
long as some people can secure II
they will drink 1t and II they get a
pistol they will have one and fred by
strong drink they will use their deadly
weapons. The thing to do Is put both
just as far out of reach as possible,
and we shall see great change in the
lawlessness which is so very prevalent
all over the country.
OF course, pistols will be brought
into South Carolina from other states,
and sold clandestinely, but the law
will assist considerably in abating the
nuisance. 1t would be q most excel
lent thing, if some Of the efforts that
are being made at legislation In con-
gress were turned in the direction Of
prohibiting the sale of pistols in the
United States.
The law should be made as strict as
the Volstead prohibition law. Indeed,
1t might we'll be made the duty of the
prohibition officers to enforce such a
law.
We heard an officer say, few days
| since, that he never knew when one
of his men was sent out to make an
arrest but that he might be shot as
people all over the country were arm
ed, and ready to use their pistols upon
the least provocation. The carrying
of concealed weapons seems like other
crimes to be on the increase, and dras-
| tic measures, should be taken to do
away with it.
AS we have contended before in this
column, we need to disarm our own
citizens for the protection and Gafety
Of our country in times of peace. It
is just as important as it is to contend
for the disarmament of the nations, as
protection against war.-Anderson

BEAR HUNTERS
 BRING HOME 4 CUB

The mighty nimrods who left Skagway Saturday night for the wilds of Dyea and vicinity, came in this morning bearing in their arms a beautiful black bear cub. The It. tie fellow was treed by the hunters and then captured after stubborn fight put up by the youngster.
 He is now being cared for and trained in fancy stops and fox trcts for the next "vodvIl" which the AL pine club is to put on. It is expect ed that for a tourist attraction he will far surpass tho interest hereto fore evinced in the short and tragic history of "Sospy" Smith. And when the same company of bear hunters return to the hunt next Sat urday it is expected that they will be able to capture the mother of the cub and have the two on exhibition for the tourist season.

NEW FUR VENTURE
BY JUNEAU MEN

A party of business men, operat- ing under the incorporate name of the Seymour Canal Fur & Stock Co. are making preparations to engage in the breeding oi muskrat on q commercial basis, This is a new venture in Alaska, according to George Burford, one of the active members of the company, the rais- ing of muskrat has been carried on in Eastern Canada for q number of years.
 MT. Burford stated today that the company had acquired title to Wind fall island. through purchase by ln- dian title, and had made application to lease Tiedman island, nearby. The company purchased the gasboat Py- bus .ast week, and as soon as some repairs are completed on the boat, Murt Maycock and George Onofrey will leave for the island to construct cabins and feed houses.
 In speaking about the new ven ture. Burford said. While muskrat belts are not as valuable as fox skins. the former animal is a more prolific breeder, ard his pelt is be- coming more popular each year, and have : to 10 pups to a litter. This rapid increase and the low cost of maturing the rats makes the ven ture bound to be a financial sue cess" NIT. Burford stated that blue fox will be put on Windfall island this fall
 The officers of tue new company are: Burt Nayeock. president: John Beck. treasm sr; George Bur ford. secretary The board of di- rectors is made up of Maycock, Os- car Harri, George SurIord, Earl l.. Hunter and Al. Wison.-Stroller's Weekly.

REVOLT AGAINST FOLD GUARD" SPREADS
 TO NORTH DAKOTA
Porter J. McMumber Faces Hardest Opposition He Has Known In
 Republican Senatorial Primary

Bismark, N. D.-The primary cleo tiOns in Indiana and Pennsylvania have excited more than normal in-. terest in far-off North Dakota, where Porter J. McCumber (R.) chairman of the Senate Finance committee. and one of the Old Guard, Is can didate for renomination in the face of the hardest opposition he has known. Opponents of Senator Me Cumber are proclaiming the victory of Albert J. Beveridge (R.) In h. diana and Gifford Pinchot (R.) in Pennsylvania as a sure indication of his defeat in the primary of June 2S after 23 years service in the Senate.
 It appears likely, however, that personal and political animosities which are given free play in the pri- mary system will take a more inn portant part than real issues. Dur ing his long service Senator Me Cumber has made many enemies, who are out to defeat him. With the time for filing with the pri- mary ended, 1t appears probable that there will be two or three candidates in the field. These include Ormsby McHarg, Jamestown, lawyer, once secretary to Senato.' McCumber, dat ar in the Interior Department un- der President Taft, and prominent figure in the pre-convention fight in 1912; p. D. Norton, former Repre- sentative in Congress from the Third district, and Judge w. s. Lauder of Wahpeton, a political antagonist Of Senator McCumber for many years.
 Lynn J. Frazer, former governor, is the Nonpartisan League candi- date. Altho the League Organiza- ton has suffered since the defeat of Governor Frazer in .he recall election last fall, 1t constitutes the largest single body Of votes in the State. The opponents of Senator McCumber who are not &onparti- sans, fully expect former Governor Frazer to be nominated In tLe Re publican primary and hope to beat him in the fall witt. J. F. T. O'Con- nor, the Democratic candidate.
 Senator McCumber is receiving strong support from former service men because of his championship of the bonus bill.
 The state race also will be com pllcated. Instead of a straight fight between the Furmer-Labor Nonpar- tisan League and the independent state administration headed by Gov ernor Bestos, there will be three candidates for the Republican nom- ination for Governor. The third candidate is Harry S. Stegner, an insurance man of Bismark, who Is campaigning on a "clean up" plat form in opposition to the state in- dustrial program of the Nonpartisan League, which the present state ad- ministration has promised a fair trial.

MUCH MINING ACTIVITY
IN THE INTERIOR

There will be about forty men em- ployed this season on Chititu creek, in the Nizina district, where John Andrus will operate. two separate plants on his property. On claim No. g everything is in readiness for the water. Mining will be done on the left limit of the creek. L. H. Carvey is in charge, with Geo. Mad den as day foreman and George Nickles foreman of the night crew, Ed. Bassett is chef, George Saxon assistant.
 No. 2 above discovery on Chititu will also be mined this season. The whole hydraulic plant from Rex creek Is being moved there and will be installed under the direction of Al Jackson. Stephen Palmer will be in charge of the workings with Paul Latham as piper. This outfit will occupy the ctn mp buildings of No. 4. MT. and Mrs. Powell are employed there in charge of the messhouse.
 Al Jackson, who has the contract for supplying the lumber, will use the sawmill when the water runs.
 Roy Lynch will have charge of the installation of the compressor and other machinery for the Green Group. NeIs TtoseYig and Al Doze are engaged in hLuling from Me Carthy to this property.
 Most of the mining operators in the vicinity of Sterlna will open up their properties this season and much activity is looked for in that section.
 The Hope section is more prosper ous this season than for many years formerly over 100 men are employ ed in and about Hope on the var ious properties. A steam shovel is operating on Resurrection creek; and the Renal Star lode looks very promising. Jack Hersey is making active preparations for his sum- mer's work and will employ about nine men in the mine and mill. A large dam Is being built on the creek about three miles above Sunrise.
 soS
 The Canyon Creek Development corporation Is a large concern and employees a large lumber of men. They are badly handicapped by the lack of roads to their property. A large shipment of machinery was re- gently received, and it has been found a gigantic task to convey it and the seasons supplies from the railroad to the mine. This proper ty is situated upon what might be termed a natural roadway to Hope on Cook inlet, and the construction of & good road to this district would tap an immensely fertile tract, and throw thousands of dollars in trade to Seward. The Primrose mine, operating near Seward. Is confronted with the same condition The cost of a road to the mine would be eX- cessive to the company, and yet roads are necessary to haul in their machinery and supplies. Both mines are in the producing class and both should be encouraged to the extent of our ability. Roads and trails are our most important needs.-Cor- dova Times.
