BRITISH DEFEAT.
j. 5. IN DOPE
FIGHT
Porter Resolution at Geneva
Observation-Disclosures
Substitute Adopted.
by WILLIAM STONE.
Cosmopolitan News Service.

GENEVA, May 31.-European d.
p1omacy, guided by the long arm Of
Great Britain, today had defeated
the American proposal to limit opium
production as the only means of
really checking the great growth Of
the drug evil.
A resolution sponsored by Great
Britain, but introduced by Delegate
De Lavigne, was adopted by the
League of Nations opium commits
sion, instead of the resolution Spon-
Sored by the American government
and Congressman Stephen G. Porter.
All the drug producing countries
except France and Portugal voted
for the British plan which seeks TO
satisfy the moral crusaders without
sacrificing the profits of any of the
drug producing countries. The Brit
ish government is interested in the
drug production fields of India.
The Porter resolution, now re-
garded as side tracked, would have
struck a Aotal blow at the profits
of opium production by providing
for immediate curtailment of the
CROWNS of narcotics material.
Ine LIE LaVlgne, or bTlLlSH pro-
posal, takes out all the vital clauses
from the Porter resolution, as
adopted by the American Congress,
leaving provision for another COM
mission composed of countries de-
irving revenue from the opium
monopolies. This commission would
be empowered to consider extending
government control over the bust
ness by a new system of licensing
and rationing, as we'll as discuss
the possibility of future reduction
of production.
The debate revealed that while
the European nations pretended to
agree with the American resolution
as being an ideal one. they con-.
gidered it Impractical"

And cuddlc together. and lie there

Wingate to suffer as he did if it can

Wineate to suffer as he did if it can
be helped.
Jim Bridger was one of the most
famous scouts and trappers in all
the Northwest back in the Thirties
and Forties, and his name has an en-
during place on the maps of the
territory he explored and in the rec
ords of the conquest Of the West.
When General William H. Ashley OF
St. Louis, organized his first COM
pany of trappers in 1882, Jim Brig
der was one of the most daring and
resourceful Of all his forty men.
This company Of trappers roamed
over what is now Wyoming, Utah,
North and South Dakota, Washington
and Oregon, and the value of the
skins taken in a season sometimes
amounted to as much as two hun
dred thousand dollars. General
Ashley made a large fortune from
these enterprises, notwithstanding
the fact that he was generous with
his men and never unfair in his deal
ings with the Indians.
Jim Bridger was on Of the first
white men to visit the Yellowstone;
but, like many explorers, he met
with derision when he tSld of the
wonders he had seen. His fellow
scouts admired him and loved him,
but they could not bring themselves
to believe his stories Of the geysers.
In 1887 Bridger built his fort on the
Black Fork Of Green River and be-
came trader; and it is at this place,
and in this occupation that he is ia
