SALMON SUPPLY
THREATENED

An enormous increase of hair
seals at, the mouth of the Fraser
river is seriously menacing this sea-
sons salmon pack. Many salmon
caught in nets we're neatly nipped
off by seals leaving only the heads
CT the salmon.
Efforts to reduce the number OF
seals by rifle fire and machine guns
proved futile as they don't herd
ike sea lions.
The government has been request
ed to take immediate steps to ex-
terminate as many of the seal as
rossible in effort to save the salmon
The same situation is represented
at Wrangell on the Stickine flats.

covered WAGON
DAYS RECALLED
Chicago Man Reaches Bis
marck on Nationwide Tour
With Shetland Ponies

Harking back to the days Of the
covered wagon, /. Sacks of Chicago
arrived in Bismarck Friday afternoon
from the west on his trip from coast
to coast with pair Of French Shet-
land ponies furnishing the motive
power. He plans to remain here
over Sunday and then continue his
tourney eastward, with the expecta-
tion Of reaching his home in about
six weeks.
Mr.. Sacks novel rig-a small
spring wagon with a canvas cover
similar in style to those used by the
pioneers--and his beautiful little
ponies, five and six years old, are
attracting great deal of attention
here.
Starting from Nashville, Tenn,
July 3, 1925, Sacks went westward
over the southern route. From CAL
ifornia he followed the coast states
to Washington, Idaho and Montana,
averaging between 30 and 35 miles
each day. The ponies seem to be en-
joying their nationwide tour as
much as is Mr.. Sacks, and have
gained about 35 pounds, each since
leaving Seattle, he says.
Except for his long white hair,
Mr.. Sacks does not appear to be
over 60 years Of age, although he
states he has passed his 72nd birth
day. He has campcd out along the
way during the entire trip and is in
the best of health.

GEOLOGIST Is
STILL MISSING
Eleven Expeditions Into Nick
a-Jack Cave Find No Trace
Of Ashley

Shellmound, Tenn, Aug. 20.--(E,--
Eleven expeditions into Nick-a-Jack
cave had failed today to reveal any
trace as to the fate of Lawrence
Ashley, cave explorer and geologist,
who entered the cavern at 8 o'clock
last Monday. Ashley, as far as can
be. ascertained, carried only scant
provisions with him and was equipped
with limited supply of carbide to
light the underground passages which
he set out to explore.
There was no cessation of the
search. Farmers in the community
have volunteered to penetrate the
uncharted passages and the state of
Tennessee has taken an active part
in the quest. Governor Austen Peay
yesterday ordered Chief Mine Inspec-
tor o. r. Pile to report Immediately
at the cave with q mine rescue crew.
The geologist recently told friends
here that he had discovered mar
row entrance of dirt, loose rocks and
shale formation leading to a much
larger cavern than any part yet ex-
plored.

OCEAN SURFACE ROUGH

Honolulu, Aug. 2O.-R-Mercan
tile ship and naval seaplanes carly
today had searched nearly, all Ha-
waiian waters without finding the
slightest trace of the Miss Doran
and the Golden Eagle, Dole race en-
trants three days overdue in Homo
lulu, and without doubt either wreck
ed or helpless.
Meanwhile other naval vessels are
searching from San Francisco and
the destroyers Sunnadin and Pelican
are covering fixed courses at sea
north of Maui.
The Associated Press representa-
tive aboard the Sunnadin reports
high seas off Makapuu point, island
of Oahu, at midnight OF Wednesday
which caused naval authorities to cx-
press doubt as to the ability of any
airplane to survive on the surface
Of the water in such weather.
Flare Reported Seen
At 8 o'clock Thursday night the
Sunnadin reported having sighted a
flare in the north. Both the Sunna-
,din and the Pelican investigated but
found nothing.
There were very few rumors con-
cerning the planes Friday, principal
ly because Of the reaction locally
against publication In the Honolulu
Advertiser Thursday Of the erron-
cous report that the Miss Doran. pilot
cd by John A. Pedlar, and navigated
hy Lieut.. Villas R. Knope, with Miss
Mildred Doran Of Flint. Mich. as
passenger, had been found and those
aboard rescued.
Residents on all the islands, how
ever, continued to watch the seas
carefully, and some reports were re-
ceived Of mysterious" floating OBJ
jects. The credulity of the people
has been strained, however. and they
are seemingly unwilling to guess ct
anything being an airplane unless 1t
is pretty well proved not to be any
thing else. 9 Y sss :

! Spokane, Wash, Aug. c0.-(Special
to the ibune)-Another group OF
western pioneers, although more

their OK teams across the plains in
the early 80s, are the pilots who will
hop off from Roosevelt field. Long
Island, September ~, in the trans
continental National Air Derby race
from New York to Spokane.
These flyers will be as much pio-
neers as Lewis and Clark, because
they will sail out into the "virgin
air. ofa western territory which is
comparatively unknown to the thou
sands of pilots in the United States
today. Their danger will not be that
Of the savage attack from the red
men. but it will be the lofty heights
to which they must soar in crossing
the Rocky and Blue Ridge noun
tains.
With the exception Of a large bea-
con atop the Prince hotel at Bis

to guide them in their flight as they
leave the route Of the transcontincnt-

These pilots have made aviation
history that the world will never

not be any more thrilling than the

is q race between scores of planes

the $28, $50 prize money as his goal.
"Speed, and more speed, will be
