No drillers have ever been as
adept at the trade as our 1928
model mosquitoes thathave to
Coulee this year with the excess
Of moisture. These mosquitoes
spud in with heavy tools, and
drill without the aid of biologists
and never fail to reach production
in commercial quantities. They
usually choose a structure with
soft formations, although they
have been known to pierce cloth
in record time without breaking
a set of jaws or bunting the bit.
They drill open hole-never stop
to case as the speed they make
prevents caving. Their offset
program is marvellous as they
edge their wells in so close that
the guy wires are fastened to the
offsetting derricks. Shortage of
fuel or water is unknown to
them. They operate with atmos-
pheric pressure and cool their
machinery with the baimy even
ing breezes. If they continue
their present policy for any
length of time all Coulee will be
prospected by the drill.

 Again SINGLE ONE TO OPPOSE
Perennial Candidate Is Only Possibility
 of Contest

MIAMI BEACH, March 19 - That President Harding will be a candidate for renomination, and that he will be nominated and reelected, was the prediction made yesterday by Attor- ney General Daugherty. President Harding will be a candidate for re- nomination." said MT. Daugherty. There will be no other candidate against him except one, and that one is always a candidate" he added The Attorney General said nothing but the impairment of MT. Harding's health, which is now considered to be the best it has been since he entered the White House, will prevent his run ming. The present Attorney General was President Harding's pre-conven- tion manager in the campaign of 1920 He stated yesterday that he had no desire to be connected with the com ing campaign. His reference to the perennial candidate for the Presidency is believed to have meant Senator La Toilette.

Senegalese Is Defeated in No-Knockout
 Match CARPENTER IS PLEASED
Announces That He Will Challenge Winner
 for Title

DUBLIN, March 19-Battling Siki, the negro conqueror of Georges Car pentier, French boxing champion, went down to defeat on Saturday be- fore the skill of Mike McTigue, in a match for the worlds light heavy weight championship McTigue won the decision on points at the end of twenty-round bout. The fight was generally disappointing to the fans, being characterized by much side-stepping and not single knock down. Persistent use of his left hand on the part of McTigue was noted, and has been explained by the Dublin correspondent of the Associ- ated Press, in a wire to London, in which he asserts that the Irish fight CT broke his right thumb during the fourth round In the defeat of Siki McTigue becomes the worlds light heavyweight champion, and Carpen- tier, therefore, is prevented from re- gaining honors lost to Siki through a return fight with the Senegalese, which has been scheduled for May Carpenter was a witness of the fight on Saturday and appeared to be much LloaSed over the victory of McTigun. He nrounced that he would chal- jcnge McTigue.

Indian Mass Vote PrOUes Stiff Issue
 M Literacy Test

JUNEAU, March 19.--In a session which lasted throughout most of the day the House of Representatives on Saturday overturned the majority report of the Committee on Elections in giving an adverse recommenda- tion on the Foster literacy bill. Adoption of the minority report re- commenting the passage of the bill was finally voted after several ef- forts to amend and hold it in abey- ance had been defeated. By a vote of eleven to five against indefinite postponement of the measure, it was passed to a third reading. Those voting for indefinite postponement were Cole and Grant, of the First Division, Decker and Wilson, of the Second, and Callahan, of the Fourth The prediction that the bill would pass the House without any diff culty was realized late Saturday afternoon when it was adopted by a vote of ten to six. The Third Di- vision stood solidly for it, and it was supported by two votes from each of the First, Second and Fourth Divisions. Opponents of the bill are certain to carry their fight to the Senate, making strong effort to 6 6afpat itc final ena ctmant

LID ON TIGHT, SAYS HOOVER,
 OF FISHERIES
Secretary of Commerce Declares Will Sit
 Tight on Order
HAS NO POLITE ANSWER
Will Protect Salmon in Spite of Objections
 of Interests

WASHINGTON, March 19.-What- ever protests have been made, the Presidential reservation settlng aside Alaskan waters as reserve, in order to prevent the further taking of salmon, will be continued. rms declaration was made on Saturday by Secretary Hoover in letter ad- dressed to Senator Jones, Of wash 1ngton. The Secretary of Commerce asserted that there is mo polite answer" to be made to Delegate Sutherland's recent criticism or the Governments policy. MT. Hoover stated that the action had been taken in the best interests of the people of Alaska and the nation. The fish, cries real issue, declared MT. Hoover, Sis that having fitted the lid on further destruction of Northwestern Alaska salmon until Congress acts, we intend to sit on it, whether Dele- gate Sutherland, certain canners, cer- tain fishermen or more of the same sort, like it or not.
 'The assertion that thousands or understanding citizens comprising the bodies devoted to the public ln- terests are in a conspiracy to obtan money for preventing these fisheries from being massacred is somewhat jncongruous with the fact that large part of the fishermen, canners and people of Alaska, who look to the future of their country support the policy of keeping the lid on. These are included among the in- suited.
 "The fisheries are precious as- set of the American people. We have the right at least to demand that they shall not be diminished in fertility by the actions of persons to whom profit is more precious than the maintenance of national food supply"
 Secretary Hoover sent to Senator Jones copies of the reports of ex- perts on the salmon fisheries, and recommendation by the American Fisheries Society, Stanford Un1ver- sity, Universities of Washington, and Illinois, and from the Chambers of Commerce of Seattle, Portland, Cor dovo, Wrangell, Juneau, Petersburg and Ketchikan all endorsing the res ervation policy.
