TREASURE HUNTERS !. REMOVING MARKERS
 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
THINK MONUMENTS MARK HID- ING PLACES OF GOLD, SAYS
 DIVISION CHIEF

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. P)-Stone and concrete markers placed in wood ed districts by the United States Coast and Geodetic survey have been dug up by treasure hunters in the belief that they mark hiding places for buried gold, according to Dr. Will liam Bowie, chief of the division of Geodesy of the Survey. He added that the stones also have been taken for use as headstones for graves, doorsteps for cabins, and anchors and ballast for boats. In one case, in Florida, he said, tourist removed twenty-three markers and used them to make camp oven. His depreda- tion cost the Government between s4,OOO and s5,OOO for replacement
 Placing of some of the markers originally costs about $500 each, Dr. Bowie said. The blocks of stone and concrete mark the triangulation giv- ing the latitude and longitude of the locality. They also note the magne- tic stations, giving variations of the compass, and bear bench marks, de- noting the elevation above sea level. The work of placing them began in 1916 and the stones are referred to by Geodetic Survey members as hitch ing posts"
 Removal of the stones by tourists and others originally was attributed by Dr. Bowie to the fact that the blocks were marked so inconspicu- ously that the layman would not know what they stood for.
 New stations being placed by the Survey are identified with bronze bolts, about four inches in diameter. driven into the stone, and with the exposed face then inscribed with the legend, United States Coast and Geo. detic Survey Triangulations Station,' or whatever class of station the mark CT may represent.

GREAT LAKES SALMON
 FISHING IN PROSPECT

MADISON, Wis, Oct. 15. P)-Sal- mon fishing in the Great Lakes is a possibility of the future.
 The state conversation commission is experimenting with the propaga- ton of salmon to determine whether the fish can be made to inhabit Lake Superior in sufficient numbers to make canning an industry in this sec tion.
 Only few salmon have been drawn from the lake in the nets of fisher men, but they are sufficient to give B. o. Webster, state superintendent of fisheries hope that eventually salmon will be plentiful in the inland waters.
 Two hundred thousand salmon of lingering" size have been planted in Lake Superior annually for five years. Only a few of the fish were expect ed to reappear in the lakes due to the comparatively small number planted.

B. A. GREER, UP FUR
 REELECTION MAKES
 STATEMENT, PUBLIC
REPUBLICAN, NOMINEE FOR MEM.
 BIER LOWER HOUSE TERRI TORIAL LEGISLATURE
ITO MY FRIENDS AND VOTERS OF
 THE THIRD DIVISION"


 "As my work in the hills will delay my return until near election day in November, it will be impossible for me to make canvass of the Division in support of my reelection to the AL aska Legislature, for which I was nom- mated in the Republican primaries, am taking this means to thank the voters of the Third Division and to tell them what my attitude will be if reelected.
 T am in favor of the most complete kind of Territorial Government for AL aska obtainable, and am strictly in fa- vor of the fisheries of the Territory being placed under the supervision of the Legislature, as we'll as the public roads, and in fact, every other Federal agency, insofar as the same is practi- cable. Believing that the success of Alaska depends more upon the mining development than on any other line of business, I will therefore strive to promote that industry. Realizing that the future prosperity of the Territory must depend upon larger population, I will advocate and work for any means whereby our Territorial popul- ation may be increased, without booms and misrepresentation. I am most strictly in favor of all Federal offices in Alaska being filled by twelve months-in-the-year residents of this Territory.
 "I am not seeking office with any extensive platform-and HAVE NOT and WILL NOT make any promises to any person, corporation, or organiz- ation, governing my movements if el- ected. If elected, I will honestly and conscientiously represent the Third Division-and will hope to do that which is most advantageous to my constituents-and to that end will at all times appreciate advice, assistance and suggestions of the Voters of the Third Division.
 During my fifteen years residence in the Third Division, have always taken an active interest in it's prog ress and general welfare; having studied our resources, I am keenly all i've to the possibilities of development. I endeavored to give you good repre- sentation at the last. session of the Legislature, introducing many con- structive bills, all of which are bene- ficial to the Third Division-and if re- elected, will again serve you to the best of my ability"
 Yours for the good of our Division
 and Territory"

Stupor from liquor he had

turning on of gas jet as he.
was trying to find his way from
his room, combined to cause the
death from suffocation, in blaz-
ing bed, of A. L. McDermott, 81
years old, at 456 NJ st. S. W., to4
day.
Any one of three things might
have caused McDermott's death,
authorities say-suffocation by
smoke, suffocation by gas, or
burns. They believe, however,
that suffocaiton by gas killed him.
McDermott, carpenter, left the
room of friend in the house next
door about $3.50 O'Clock last night
to go to his room and to bed. The
friend--J. L. Perkins. also car
penter-said McDermott, longing
for his young wife who had left
him and gone to Florida, had been
drinking, although, before the sepa-
ration. he was not addicted to
liquor.
Shortly after 6 a. m. today, Per-
kins went into the house at No.
456 to call his friend, as they were
working together on a house at
Chevy Chase. He found the second
floor hall filled with smoke.
Perkins aroused the other OccI-
pants of the house, and seven OF
them, including two women, fled
to the street in scanty clothing. A
neighbOr who saw the smoke
'phOned the fire department.
Dragged from Room
With the aid of E. K. Grammar,
who rented the room to McDermott,
Perkins broke open the door to his
friends quarters. Heavy smoke,
laden with the odor of gas, and
, through which flames could be
seen greeted them.
They reached into the bed and
pulled McDermott into the hall
The man was apparently dead then.
When the firemen arrived, thew

and extinguished the blazing wood
work, they found the gas jet just
over the bed turned on.
McDermott was fully clothed. 1t
is believed that he fell into a stupor
from liquor and his pipe, which was
his constant companion. ignited the
mattress. Awakened by the burns,
/ 1t is believed he tried to raise him
self from the bed, caught hold Of
the gas jet. which is in easy reach
from the bed, turned it on, and then
fel back into the bed.
His left leg was badly burned and
there were slight burns on his face.
Physicians summoned by the fire
men, however. said he had appar-
emily been dead two or three hours,
and suffocation was given as the
most probable cause.
Perkins notified McDermott' s
brother, Robert McDermott, also a
carpenter, who lives In Alexandria,
and the body will be turned over
to him Today.
