Buffalo Springs Man
Takes Honesty Prize

The year 1925 already has brought
to State Treasurer C. A. Fisher an
experience new to his long years as
public officer.
1t is that of having money volun-
tarily paid to the state which the
state made no effort to collect and
|~of which there was no record on. the
books. During several terms as
treasurer of Barnes county and his
term as state treasurer, Fisher said
he came to the conclusion that the
vast majority of PERSONS are honest
! but few are SO mcticulOus as. tho

SEINE WATERS
STILL RISING
Thousands Of Homes Flooded
Destruction Rivals That
of War Period

Paris, Jan. 7.-P)--Oficial fore
casts thrice having been belicd by
events, Parisians are viewing with
considerable apprehension the waters
of the Seine, which are slowly but
surely rising.
The authorities, however, maintain
that even at the worst there is no
possibility of disaster.
The principal sufferers thus fan
are the eastern suburbs, where thou
sands Of houses have been flooded.
Officials say that the Seine will
continue to swell until tomorrow.
Along the Disc, disaster has been
wrought the length of the valley
where the water is nearly mile
wide. At Guise, the people arc liv-
ing in the upper stories Of their
homes and are being victualed by
means of boats. Scissors on the
Aisne is cut off from railroad COM
munication. The lower quarters OF
the town have been evacuated. The
Marine is way out Of its banks. Cha
tcau Thicrry is badly flooded.
Waters Rcccde In Belgium
In Belgium, with the exception Of
the territory lying along the river
Escout, which has a tendency to rise
still higher, the situation continues
to improve. Normal conditions are
returning slowly as the flood waters
fall back
There has been much devastation
however Some persons estimate the
destruction by the waters as nearly
as great as the one by fire and sword
7 in 1917 It is estimated that the
damage throughout Belgium will run
into hundreds of millions of francs
ONLY 8 FEET BELOW
FLOOD LEVEL OF 1910
Paris, Jan. 7.-tR-A rapid rise OF
the river Seine last night and this
morning brought its height at The
Austcrlitz bridge, in the heart Of thu
city, to within eight feet Of the dis.
astrous flood level Of 1910, when the
most destructive floods in the history
Of Paris occurred. The river is with
in less than, six feet Of the level OF
the 1924 overflow.
The peak of the rise probably viii
be reached Saturday. Hundreds Of
families in suburbs Of Paris have
abandoned their homes fok higher

t'Gambier Bay Jim" last of
the old medicine men" or
Witch doctor" is dead. He
passed on to the land of the
unkno wn on the 10th of this
month. He ,vas buried at Taku
Village near Juneau.
Gambler Jim" was of the
old school of Indians and rails
ed under a system of discip-
line no longer followed. For
many years he was uncom-
promising in his attitude to-
ward the white settlers. He
claimed Gambler Bay as his
heritage and would not per-
NIT any one to fish beyond q
certain line. Those who in
sisted on fishing in this "clos-
ed area" had their nets pulled
up until they made appeal to
the Bureau of Fisheries. Since
that time he gave way to the
tide of civilization which did
not stop at his demand.
Jim had peculiar psychic
powers that were beyond the
comprehension and understand
ing of modern civilization in
Alaska. Such powers as were
demonstrated by him, if car
ried further would stump the
late magician Houdini. AS a
man able to cure, many had no
faith in his powers. But as
a seer, he might have been
