HIGHWAYMAN FIRES FIVE BULL LETS INTO JOHN C. LAND, AS iNTERURBAN ENTERS SEATTLE EARLY IN MORNING
PASSENGER TAKES AWAY GUN
Robber Struck on Head with Gun Staggers from Car, Disappears; Blood Hounds pick up Trail

SEATTLE, Nov. 3. P)-John c. Land, operating a one-man electric interurban running between Seattle and Benton, was shot five times and killed while grappling with high wayman who held him up while enter ing Seattle early today As the rob- Der fired the last bullet, Bert Elem ming of Seattle, and a passenger on the car, wrenched away the slayer's gun and struck him on the head with the butt. The highwayman stagger- ed past Flemming and leaped off the car and fled. Police began search 20 minutes later and found a cap on the floor of the car which Flemming knocked from the killers head. The cap had written in ink, inside the band Ed Heildund, M. s. U., 25.' Sheriff Matt Starwich telegraphed the Montant State University asking if such a man registered. He said he was going on the theory that either the former Montana student or a man who had stole his cap was the killer. Bloodhounds have picked up the trail. Flemming said when the bandit shov- ed the gun into Lands back the op- orator whirled around and wrestled with the man who then shot Land. He continued grappling but after the fifth shot Land slumped to the floor.

SKELETON EARLY MAN DISCOVERED ILLINOIS BY THE l, IF CHICAGO IMPORTANT REVELATIONS IN PREHISTORIC DEVELOPMENT
 OF AMERICA

CHICAGO, Nov. 3. P)-Important revelations of the prehistoric develop ment of America have been predicted by the University of Chicago anthro- biologists stated. Following a report from their expedition into Western Illinois that the skeleton of an early man had been discovered near Gilena, Illinois brings the belief that it is one of the most important finds to date. It was discovered hardly four feet under the surface, in a crouch ing position. Nearby were bones Bsmaller in structure, indicating they might have come from the bodies of women or children.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3. (P)-The American supply of Christmas rum looks like moonshine, according to coast guard and prohibition officials. Large seizures of liquor recently have made rum runners wary off the East coast and even the price of moon shine is going up in accordance with the scarcity of so-called bonded goods.

WACHTER ON JOE
AND THE BANKER
Medicine Lake, Mont
Feb. 20, 1926.

Medicine Lake, Mont.
Feb. 20, 1926.
Mr.. Editor, please print:
Say! boys, did you see the Medicine
Lake Wave Of the last issue. II IL
had not been for a little disturbance
between a farmer and a banker, OF
which the banker got the worst OF 1t,
Joe would not of had nothing for the
first page-Only a little strip IN the
upper right hand corner OF about
three by five inches for the peoples
benefit as first page news.
Joe always sides in with the banker
but if Joe gets a split with old 81
mon, ninety-nine per cent of the far
mers of this vicinity will get fooled,
for old Simon smiles only when he
gets it all. But / bet if old Simon
hands him something it will be glad
ly received.
Joe is a fine looking man and has
smile like an angel and voice like
father of a mule, sympathy like
Dempsey, Sullivan and Jack Johnson
ideas like a sheepherder always lock-
ing for greener pastures, disposition
like a flea constantly hopping arounC
and looking for better surroundings
Joe hoped on the payroll of the
county printing when hopping was
good and hoped off after better cOun
ty officers were procured.
He is very unlucky and unfortun
ate, as JOe's house burns down quite
frequently but he is lucky enough tt
always have it insured. 1t is almost
discouraging for a farmer to- attempt
to build one.
Joe has failed to credit himself by
ousting Mr.. John Daley. Mr.
Dailey's record rings as clear as {
bell in our ears in comparison t.
Joe's self-written biography.
Mr.. Daley is a man too we'll known
to be represented as a man that Nh
DOlin pictures. Mr.. Daley has ha'
different offices here, has been promp
and always on the job for the peopl
as masses and the desirable classes
He has been tried out and stand
and remains pure at heart. One thini
about Mr.. Daley when he was hun
CRY, he always ate his own candy
knew little about what kind of cand
Sears, Rcebuck, Montgomery Ward
or Savage handled and cared less. H
always handled those packages care
fully and never stuck his fingers in
side to see how strong the paper was
He has been the past postmaster tina
Medicine Lake ever had in their EN-
ploy. This is the kind of a man tina
dirty Joe is trying to ridicule an
Inisrepresent him. And we as farmer
will stick up for Mr.. Daley at an
time.
We, as farmers of Medicine Lake
hope that Joe will make another no
and hep half way between Roosevelt
and. Dawson county and drift dow
to St. Louis or New Orleans wher
he can join hands with others of hi
own class and type.

able for the discovery of petroleum. that drilling for oil in the upper Mat anuska Valley is attempted at this time.
 Examination of Naval Petroleum, Reserve No. 4, in northern Alaska, was continued by w. R. Smith, who was member of the Geological Sur vey party that went overland during the winter and spent all of the sum- mer in field work in this area. The area traversed was mainly the high landsof the Brooks Range and the plateau and lowlands of Colville Riv- CT, to the north. Although no new seepages or other definite indica- tions of petroleum were found in the area, MT. Smith noted many places north of the ColWil1e where excellent structural condition would afford good collecting places for oil if it oc- CUTS in the adjacent rocks.
 Other Minerals.
 Alaska during 1925 produced lead, marble, gypsum, tin, platinum, quick silver, and garnet. Lead showed considerable increase in quantity and, owing to the higher price per unit, a more proportional increase in value over the output in 1924. Most of the lead was received in the treatment of ores whose principal value was their gold or silver content. The leadlbearing gold ores came almost entirely from the Alaska Juneau mine, in southeastern Alaska, and the lead bearing silver ores came principal ly from the Hyder district, in south eastern Alaska, and the Kantishna district, nonth of Mount Mckinley The output of marble came entirely from the quarries of the Vermont Marble Co.,, at Tokeen, on Prince of Wales Island, southeastern Alaska All the gypsum was produced by the Standard Gypsum Co.,, located at Gypsum, southwest of Juneau, on the east coast of Ohichagof Island. The tin ore, or cassiterite, was derived from placers near York, in Seward Peninsula, and from the Hot Springs district, in the Yukon-Tanana re- zion. Some of the platinum metals were won from placers in the vicin- ity of Dime Creek, Seward Peninsula, but the larger part was palladium, recovered from copper lode on Ka- saan Peninsula, southeastern Alas ka. A little quicksilver was produc- ed from lodes in the Kuskokwim ba- sin, some distance northwest of Georgetown. A prospecting party with a considerable outfit went into this same general region during 1925 to continue the examination of the quicksilver lodes. To judge from the

company are much in demand in the local market, as they are said to be of better grade than the usual com- mercial brands.
 Exploration for petroleum continued to be conducted actively at several places in the Territory. On the AL aska Peninsula drilling of the test well of the Standard Oil Co. of Cal ifornia on the Pearl Creek Dome was continued turnout the year and ac- cording to the latest reports avail able had been carried to the depth of about 5000 feet, without, however, tapping a commercial supply of oil Drilling by the Associated Oil Co., in a nearby area is reported to have been carried to depth of about B. 200 feet. The Geological Survey, in press bulletin prepared by w. R. Smith, has stated that the Sal mon Creek-Bear Creek anticline, north of Jute Bay, and the Wide Bay anticline are favorable struc- tural features to prospect and that wells drilled on either of these anti clines would start at a geologic hor- izon estimated at not less than A. 900 feet lower stratigraphically than the beds forming the upper part of lthe Pearl Creek dome.
 Plans for the thorough testing of the structure near the known petro- leum seepages on Johnson Creek, in the Yagataga region, have been per fected by tn General Ptroleum Go. A camp was established there, and the necessary supplies and equipment wre safely brought to the property. Storms during the fall delayed get ting drilling under way as early as had been hoped, but according to the latest information much of the machinery had been set up and will be operated thruout the winter.
 Hope of finding petroleum near the Chickaloon coal mine, in the upper Matanuska Valley, led to, Star drill being taken into that region. It seems unfortunate, in view of the many areas in Alaska where geologic conditions appear to be more favor

OFFICIAL STATEMENT ISSUE D FRFOM JUNEAU OFFICE AL
 ASkA GAME COMMISSION

The Executive Office of the Alaska Game Commission has received re- ports of recent cases in the Fair banks and Anchorage region.
 George Mellich, an alien common ly known around Fairbanks as "Bol- shevik George" was apprehended by Warden Frank Dufresne of Fairbanks, accompanied by Deputy U. s. Marshal James Hagen of Nenana Mellich was engaged in trapping without an Alien Special License. It seems that Mellich had full knowledge of the li- cense being required and had indicat- ed that he would not take out such a license After being found with a fox in one of his traps and two rifles in his possession, he was still given an opportunity to escape prosecution by taking out the Alien Special Li- cense. He refused to do this, a case was filed against him at Nenana for illegal trapping and he demanded a jury trial He was convicted, fined $50, and sentenced to 60 days in jail
 The other case is reported by War den A. H. Hardy, of Anchorage, who states that s. F. Rhodes, a fur deal CT of Anchorage was found to have purchased on or before December IA, AT muskrat and 16 mink skins recent ly caught, all of which were unprime and taken before the season opened. In addition he had failed to keep rec ords of this transaction. A complaint containing three counts was filed against him at Anchorage. The first count charged possession of unprime muskrat belts, second unprime mink pelts, and third for failure to keep

pie and arranging thenecessary yard and tracks to permit the handling of 200 tons of coal day. These inn provements will add greatly to the facility with which the coal can be handled and should improve the cleaning, sizing, and sorting of the product The completion during the year of a steel bridge across Nenana River will afford a reliable connec- tion for the branch line that con- meets the mine with the main track of the Alaska Railroad.
 Interest in the Boring River coal field was revived during the year, but no productive mining was in progress. Applications for coal prospecting per mits were filed covering areas south of Riley Creek, near the Alaska Rail- road, and a short distance north of Panama. A little coal mining was carried on at the Chicago Creek mine in Seward Peninsula, and small amount of coal was dug by natives for local use from the coal beds ex- posed near Wainwright, in northern Alaska.
 Petroleum.
 All the petroleum produced in AL aska continued to come from the wells of the Chilkat Oil Go. This company's property is near Katalla, where in addition to the oil wells it operates a small refinery. The gas- ohne and distillate produced by the
