That talk with the mayor sealed
my doom, though l didn't fully rea-
lie It then.
l told him we assistant Director
Elliott, Edwin NJ Abbott and my
self had come to see him relative
to padlocking the Ritz Carlton Ho-
tel and had brought all the evidence
in the case.
The mayor replied that he did not
want to proceed against the Ritz;
that It was a big hotel that he need
ed room space for the sesqulcen-
tennial; that Joe Widener million
aire sportsman, art collector and
clubman and owner Of the hoteD had
threatened to close 1t any way; that
1t was not necessary to paddock 1t;
that there was a big difference be-
tween the treatment Of a place like
the Club Madrid, a cafe whose dance
license he had twice revoked on evil
dence not as strong as that against
the Ritz Carlton. where they could
go in off the street and have a party,
and big hotel like the Ritz, where
the people gave private parties. All
three Of us said we could see no
difference between little places and
the biggest ones.
Upheld by Solicitor
City Solicitor Gaffney entered and.
when asked, said the law applied
alike to places like the Madrid and
the Ritz. The mayor again said
he did not think we should proceed
against the Ritz. Gaffney suggested
that we delay until Magistrate Car
ney completed his hearing on the
arrest of David B. Provan, manager
of the Ritz.
Immediately after this conference
I wrote the mayor explaining
further my reasons for wanting to
paddock the Ritz Carlton. told him
of a meeting with the hotel associ-
alton representatives early in his adj
ninistration, at which I asked that
notice Of violations of the prohibition
act be given the police. The hotels
agreed to post placards to the effect
that the management would enforce
the prohibition law. These signs re-
manned in the Ritz Carlton only
few weeks.
Therefore, in this case" 1 con-
cluded my letter, there being no
doubt that there were violations.

sula have been reduced to a point that
seriously endangers their existence
and the persistent hunting of brown
bears on the peninsula has also greatly
reduced the numbers of these interest

roads have also been made on the
brown bears and caribou on Unimak
island, the easternmost of the Aleu-
ton Islands reservation. In many
areas the winter poisoning of fur
bearers has also been common prae-
tice, with disastrous consequences to
the fur supply.

Deer Saved From Starvation.
During the early winter of 1925 Doc
tor Nelson relates an extraordinary
heavy snowfall forced deer to the
beaches, where they were trying to
suDsist on kelp exposed by low tides
and were starving. A fund of $1,000
was raised and sent to the warden In
charge at Juneau. Hay was purchased
and arrangements made through the
patrol boat of the biological survey
and through the cooperation of the
forest service and the bureau Of fish
cries and with the people of south
eastern Alaska to distribute it and to
cut down spruce trees on a consid-
cradle scale so that the deer could
feed on their foliage. A number Of
contributions of money and hay were
also made by the people of the region,
and the combined result of the efforts
was to save very large number OF
deer from starvation.
The biological survey in the spring
Of 1924 organized a cooperative expe-
dition, with Herbert w. Brandt Of
Cleveland and II. B. Conover of the
Field museum of Chicago, to study the
breeding of wild fowl in the great
marsh country south of the delta OF
the Yukon. A part of the work there
was the banding Of considerable
number of birds, including about 40
geese Forty of these bands from
geese killed during their southwark
flight the following autumn were re-
turned to Washington. The first of
these geese was taken on the Alaskan
peninsula, the next on Queen Char
lotte islands and others down the
coast of Washington. Oregon and In
California.

Giant Moose. Huge Brown
Bears and White Noun
tain Sheep Abound.

Washington. Most American sports
men know that Alaska has vast
wilderness area in which exist great
numbers of some of the most pictur-
esque and interesting game animals of
this continent, says DIR. e. w. Nelson,
In a recent bulletin of the American
Game Protective association. The
most notable of these are the giant
moose, the greatest living representa-
tive of the deer tribe in the world.
The huge brown bears of Kodiak
island and the Alaska peninsula, the
greatest of living carnivores, are the
survivors of a line of huge bears which
once inhabited western North Amer
lea. Skulls from the asphalt deposits
Of southern California show that even
the gigantic Kodiak bear was far ex-
celled in size by the bears of that re-
gion in the long ago, says Doctor
Nelson.
The white mountain sheep OF Alas
ka's mountain ranges are among the
most beautiful of their kind. Their
nearest relatives are mountain sheep
found throughout Kamchatka and
eastern Siberia Several races Of
caribou also inhabit Alaska Former
ly they existed in vast herds over
much of the territory, but they have
been exterminated in some areas and
greatly reduced in numbers of others,
although large herds still occupy the
region between Fairbanks and the
course of the upper Yukon river.
Meat Value of Game 100000.
In addition to its large game Alaska
is the breeding place every spring Of
vast numbers of migratory wild fowl
which come to the States to spend the
fall and winter. With its game re-
sources the territory also has rich
resources in land fur-bearing animals,
the gsoss income from which amounts
to about $2,000.0OO year. The gross
value of the game taken each year in
Alaska by the native and white popu-
lation probably has meat value close
ly approximating $1,000,000.
For long time after purchase
of Alaska from Russia no effort was
made to safeguard its wild life re-
sources" writes Doctor Nelson. In
1902, however, the first general game
law applying to the territory was
passed by congress. AS result, after
my visit to the territory in 1920 to es-
tablish the reindeer experimental work
Of the biological survey undertook
the preparation Of a new Alaskan
game and fur law. This bill was
sponsored by Aiaska's delegate, Dan
Sutherland, enacted and signed by the
President In 1925.
Alaska contains vast area Of wild
country which will remain a wilder
ness far into the distant future, and
among the main resources Of such
areas will continue to be the game

CLARK EXPLAINS
HIS STAND UPON
RIVER PROBLEMS
Especial to The Dispatch)

WINSLOW, Aug. 10.-At a meeting
in the city hall here tonight, e. S.
Clark, republican candidate for gov
ernor, won loud applause when dis
cussing the Colorado river problem.
He said: "If am elected governor,
it will be my first concern to see that
the way is paved, for an agreement be-
tween the lower basin states that will
safeguard all of rArizonas legal rights.
1t goes without saying that considera-
tion Of such a momentous matter should
not be approached in a spirit of brava-
do and belligerence. The occasion does
not justify boasts or threats.
!. "It will not become representative of
Arizona to parade a banner. on which
the dollar sign is the only emblem.
Even though the meaning of the word
Colorado is red it is high time that
Arizona added proper proportion of
white and blue to the color scheme
typifying American spirit"
Judge Clark declared that such an
agreement will probably result in con-
struction of initial dam at point on
the river more satisfactory than Boul-
der canyon. He also dwelt upon the
problems of the farmer, high taxation
and the inefficiency of the state. bank
