SCIENCE CLEARS SUSPECT IN TROUT STREAM MYSTERY.

Murder alleged. The indictment charged wholesale destruction of life. The evidence was strong, seemed almost conclusive but was cir eumstantia rather than positive The plaintiffs agreed upon submission of facts for disin- terested scientific analysis Science cleared the defendant, and fully restored his character
 This, briefly, is the story of case that originated in California and was determined in Washington, D. C. The complaining parties were sportsmen and anglers in Northern California. Their grievance the disappearance of trout from stream in the vicinity The suspects were mergansers, commonly called fish ducks. which freduented the stream and were known to live largely on fish diet. The cireumstantial evil dence pointed to the conclusion that the mer- gansers were destroying the trout and depriying the anglers of prized sport.
 To settle the question of guilt, appeal was made to the Biological Survey of the United States Department of Agriculture The biologists asked for a more complete presentation of evil dence, in the form of the stomachs of several ducks shot under the circumstances least favor able to the ducks; that is, immediately after they had been feeding. The sportsmen forwarded to the Biological Survey several stomachs of sus- pected 'mergansers Scientists skilled in the work were available, for this system of stomach exam nations is the basis of scientific findings as to the comparative desirability or undesirabiIitv n, many species Of birds and animals. Analysis of the stomach contents exonerated the mergansers as trout eaters. Instead they were revealed as doughty enemies of several creatures that were already recognized enemies of trout Tbs birds were conseryers rather than destroyers ot trout
 The Biological Survey reported that ano tropt were found; furthermore, with the execution nj vegetable debris 10 per cent in one stomach, and the remains of water strider and a nre dacius bug q per cent), the entire food of th, five birds consisted of creatures detrimental f, the welfare of trout The sculpins as well as tb, sticklebacks, which the birds fed are motor ious spawn eaters, and the crawfsh likewise are guilty of such destruction

IMMIGRANT STOCK PRESIDENTS.

Former Congressman Will E. Humphrey of Seattle and others have declared that the present Presidential fight is between the old-line American stock and the immigrant stock mean ing those whose American ancestry does not date back of the Revolutionary War. This contention is advanced because some, all, of Gov. Smiths American ancestors are post -Revolu- tionary.
 We'll, if he should be elected, Gov. Smith would by no be the first American Presi- dent without ante-Reyolutonary ancestry All of President Woodrow Wilson's grandparents were foreign born President Chester A. Arthurs father born in Ireland and his father and mother were married in Canada It was charged during the campaign of 1880 when he run ming for Vice President on the ticket with James A. Garfield that he born in Canada. This was proved to be error when the record dis closed that he first saw light at Fairfield, Yer mont not far from the Canadian line The par ents of President James Buchanan were born in Ireland and it has been found necessary two or three times to consult the records of Franklin County, Pennsylvania to prove that he of American birth himself
 Most of these who followed the situation carefully during the Taft Administration and before probably believe, this writer does that had it not been for his ultmely death Gov John A Johnson of Minnesota, would have been the twenty-eight President instead of Gov. Woodrow Wilson Gov. Johnson serving his third term the Democratic Governor of Republican State when he died while yet in his middle forties. At each election his majority had been larger than at the previous one, and his popu- larity had reached from the Middle West to all the coasts. It nowhere held against him that he of Swedish blood and was reared by Swedish-born parents.
 If it had not been for the direct Constitu- tional provision that forbds not born on American soil from becoming President of the United States, Senator Knute Nelson would prob ably have attained that honor. He one of the most powerful statesmen of his time and it was never held against him that he was native of Norway.

 Up to and including the result of the July run of 316,400 tons, the value of the Alaska Juneau output this year nearly 200O, ,O00. Operating profit totaled $S02,400 for the seven months, and surplus was $69O9OO over and above accrued charges.
 In June, 1927, the financial position Of the property began to improve, and the spread De- tween income from yeild and costs widened, reaching a maximum in February, 1928, since which time it has decreased, but 1t still remains at the substantial figure of about 24 cents per ton On two former occasions, in 1925 and in 1927, a surplus was earned over short period, being preceded and followed by deficits. Never theless, the period from and including June, 1925, through July, 1928, resulted in a fairly sub stantal surplus.
 The changed status of this company is the result of skillful operation control of ore dilution by selective mining on a broad scale, and a milling method that involves in it's initial stages the dscard of waste rock. Costs are under close scrutiny. Repairs and equipment paid for out of operating revenue. The enterprise is in a better position than it has ever been before, and its future progress will be watched closely by mining men. Important principles in the handling of lowgrade deposits are on trial, with success in sight.

Alaska's Phantom City.
Dawson News

The silent city of Alaska, the famous mirage which appears occasionally above the great Muir glacier, was observed again recently by tourists from the deck of the steamship A1eutian. The phantom of the air looked very much like an ancient fortified city, with spires and towers, hanging some distance above the glacier. The singular phenomenon is believed to be caused by the distortion of icy pnnacles and peaks.
 The appearance of the Alaskan mirage is all ways preceded by the forming of streak of mist along the horizon, where probably two air cur rents meet, due to condensation or atmospheric moisture by the chill of the The mist soon apparently dssolves and the magic picture begins to lift itself in the distance with all the forma- tion, like motion picture film, being focused on the
