The two officials climbed into the
machine, and. as Frank started off
again, Sheriff Hulse asked:

guests of the party last night found

NO; it's Miss Tudor herself

A few words sufficed to explain
the situation to the country prac-
titioner, and he joined them in the
Tudor car. They found Martha, the
cook, and Louise awaiting them on
the side porch.
In the meantime Fay, who had,
stirred at Martha's first entrance,
found that sleep would not return
to her. She sat up upon one elbow
and called, Laurel" softly, but,

of Great Britain, land this, while or municipal workers wages, is not as low as the present earnings in other big industries.
 "The economic position is such that everyone has to suffer, for the simple reason that, there is not enough to go round, and in that sense miners are sharing in common with others.
 "But it would be worse if, in ad dition to the low rate of wages which new prevail 'n other industries, tae miner had also the unemployment which exists in those industries. On the other hand, the stoppage of last year, which involved the owners in a loss of $55,OO0,OOO, has also left the miners with a load of debt which must be cleared off"
 Poor living conditions, which prom ised to be afleviated by the influx of American orders, are again re- ported from the mining districts, and relief measures are being con templated.

BIOLOGICAL SURVEY MAPPING OUT.
 PLANS FOR ALASKA ENDEAVORS.

"The United States Biological Sur vey has mapped out definite pro gram for the building up of the fur resources of Alaska by the intro .duction of various kinds of fur animals and game on those sections of the Territory In every way suit able for their habitat but on which they are not found at present" is the information given out by E. P. Walker, head of the Territorial Bio- logical Survey, who arrived recently on the Princess Mary from Seattle, where he has been in consultation with E.. w. Nelson. chief of the bureau.
 The Biological Survey is the ronly department of the Government con cerned with the development of wild life. and, as Alaska Is primarily fit ted for the propagation of every variety of fur bearing animal, it's purpose is to establish and encour- age the development of permanent fur industry in the Territory that will give employment all the year around to it's inhabitants and ole that is assured of steady. sure growth for generations to come.
 A careful investigation of climatic conditions, soil, and food supply has already been made of every part of Alaska and close study made of the habits and manner of breeding of the animals to be introduced. in order to carry out this project sue cessfully.
 Animals to Be Introduced
 AS a result of this extensive study, marten are to be placed on the Prince of Wales group; mink on Kodiak and Alfognak Islands; beaver on the Chichagof and Baranoff group; marten on the Baranoff 1s- lands; blue grouse on the Prince of Wales group.
 Mountain goats are to be trans ferred from the mainland to the Ad- miralty group. One has already been placed there. and five or eight more will be released this fall.

OF COAL STRIKE IN U. 5.
 HITS BRITISH

LONDON, Nov. 1.-The British mining industry has suffered rapid and disastrous reaction from the settlement of the American coal strike.
 During the summer months Amer ican coal orders poured into the British market and it was estimated that these orders would keep the British industry thriving until we'll into the winter. Since the settle ment of the strike in the United States, however, cancellations of orders have flooded in, and the British mining industry is once more at low ebb.
 Owners and employers are alike worried over the situation. Many mines are running but two and three days a week, with consequent unem- ployment in districts where unem- ployment has been already most dis tressful.
 Employees are seeking increased wages or other means of adjusting their difficulties. Owners claim they are already suffering heavy losses. | Frank Hodges, secretary of the Miners Federation, has suggested that the burden be partly born by the householder and has proposed that there be an increase of sixty cents a ton in the price of house. hold coal The owners are not re- ceiving this suggestion with any great enthusiasm. because they claim that only one-seventh of the total normal sale is for domestic pur- poses and that such step would not result in any general relief either to workers or owners.
 Miners earnings are not more than 40 to 45 per cent higher than before the war;" says w. A. Lee. secretary of the Mining Association | of rGeat Britain, "and this, while

It has been found that rabbits will serve as food for fur bearers and they are to be introduced on the large islands of Southeastern Alaska, which have not been leased for fur farms.
 Other projects are under considera- tion and the Biological Survey has sent letters to game clubs asking them to contribute information and ideas along this line. Individuals are also urged to send them any suggestions of possible value in building up this fur industry.
 MT. Walker thinks that If the big game to be found in the Territoroy were properly advertised 1t would at tract big game hunters and interest capitalists, potential investors, who now seek their sport and spend their money in other more distant hunting grounds. Mr. Walker is personally acquainted with on Englishman who has made three extensive hunting trips to Alaska carrying away tro- phies and specimens to be presented to museums One expedition of this kind often results in the expendt tl-e of $7.000 or more in the coun- try and also gives employment to number of men.
 In connection with the building up of the fur industry here. the Bio ligical Survey is now trying out plan that has been followed for some years with great success in the States, of securing the services of wolf hunter, for the protection of it's wild life, especially the deer, to whom the wolf is real menace. J. s. Ligon, who has been with the Biological Survey in Michigan, Is to take up this work. aH
 MT. Walker has been at the head of the Alaskan division of the Bio logical Survey since the spring of 1921. He was with the Bureau of Fisheries for several years previous to entering this department. He has always been greatly interested in this work and has made 1t life study.
