WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.-The
site of the battle in 1877 between
Chief Jospeh and his Nez Perce
Indians and the command of Gen
eral George A. Miles would be
withdrawn from all forms of en-
trv under the provisions of one
of Congressman Scott Leavitt's

The measure also authorizes the
secretary of the interior to enter

nile for the proper upkeep of the

volved is located near Chinook.
one of the significant features Of
the battle is that it was the last
armed conflict of major impor-

1t was in 1920 that l made my
first trip into the Canadian North,
in quest of fur, accompanied by
Edgar NJ Hay. This was a never
to be forgotten trip, for though it
proved to be an unqualified success
from the standpoint of moose and
deer hunting, it was dismal fail
ure financially, just as many other
trips of a similar nature have prov
en- failures for other praties.
There were a number of reasons
why this venture was unsuccess-
full Though we both had had
more or less trapping experience
in the States, we were wholly un-
prepared for the ordeal OF spend
ing a winter in the Northern VIII
derness. Everything was so differ
ent from what we had anticipated,
and much of our clothing ana
eoujpment was of the wrong sort
On top of this we happened to To-
cate in very poor fur dlstrlct
and that year the very bottom
dropped out of prices on all furs.
AS there was insufficient fur IN
that locality to make it worth
while for both of us to remain
there. we decided, late in the WIN
ter. upon a split. l was to come
out and work through the spring
and summer while Hay was to re-
main on our trap line for the re-
mainder of that winter and search
for a better country in which to
locate the following season.
Hav carried out his part and
the Fall of 1921 found him operat-
ing North of Great Slave Lake on
the Mckenzie river. The follow
ing year he again changed loca-
tions, moving over a hundred
miles inland into an unknown
country and there built up a splen-
did trap line, becoming one OF the
most successful and best known
trappers in the entire Canadian
North
For my part, certain things hap
pened which prevented my return
and though every year found me
Manning to go next year sure,
something always had way OF
turning up to cause the trip to be
postponed, until 1927 found me IN
position where it was possible
really to go.
In Great Falls, Montana, l met a
friend of Edgar Hays by the name
of Chris Trebesch Chris had de
termined to take a fling at the
wilderness trapping and at MS
suggestion we decided to pool oul
outfits and travel together.
Having spent great deal O
time making very carefully pre-
pared list of the equipment neces
sary for the journey, we departed
from Great Falls on the morning
of June 18th, arriving at Edmon
ton. the outfitting point of the
North, on the 18th. In this cit!
we spent six days collecting th'
innumerable articles required TO

cation. Most of our equipment wa

WASHINGTON.-Here is the
biggest piece of news of the 1928
political campaign to date:
The united dry organizations of
the United States have decided to
draft William G. McAdoo to OPP
pose AL Smith for the Democrat
nomination at Houston. There
have been numerous secret meet
ings at which this policy has been
arrived at.
Mr.. McAdoo, who deadlocked
with Smith in 1924 over the NOM
NATION, will consent to run again,
Notwithstanding his withdrawal
from politics a few months ago.
That is, he will consent to run il
the drys are able to show him a
strong and vigorous backing in
his behalf.
Friends of McAdoo say he STEP
ped aside recently in order to al
ford his political arch-enemy,
Smith of New York, an opportun-
ity to do likewise. Smith has not
done so, although he has had
withdrawal under consideration
for 6lonth. The fact that
Smith is still in the race the drys
argue, alone would justify Nc
Adoo in entering it again himself.
Coupled with a nationwide dry
demand, the circumstances will be
such. say the drys, as to convince
Mr.. McAdoo that his services
again are required to prevent the
nomination of a wet.

intent to run Time will tell,

Germ we received very courteous

quality, in return for a good many
hundreds of our hard earned dol
lars.
Having everything in readiness,
we proceeded to give the town the

prised at some of our findings.
The city has a claimed population
of about eighty thousand, but the
city limits embrace an area great

ed over this road seven years ago
and at that time the train consist
ed of a very small engine of obse-
lete design, several box cars and
one small passenger coach. The
train travelled until the crew be-
came tired, when it was stopped
for the night wherever it might
happen to be at the time. The
coach was heated by a little coal
stove in one end and if the passen-
gers had foresight enough to carry
their own grub supply and bedroll,
they could make tea and warm up
something to eat on the little stove
and afterwards sleep on the floor
in the aisle or in any other unoc-
cupied place which might be found
and spend the night in comfort.
otherwise it required about
sixty hours to make the three
hundred mile run. But not so
now. It is still mixed train, but

ern locomotive and in addition to
good string of box cars and
some refrigerators, has modern

following morning, having passed

vicinity of Lac La Biche and some
desolate appearing burnt over
