Kills Rattlers; Among Ali
gators with Fish Bait
CONTINUED From Page One)

Mr.. ferguson has been a resi-
dent of Minnesota all his life. He
has fished and hunted extensively
and therefore was able to answer
intelligently the many questions
that were asked concerning the
North Star State. Being good
talker he was especially well quail
flied to speak before various civic
gatherings at the towns through
which he passed. In practically
every town he gave exhibitions,
told the story Of Minnesota's at
fractions and distributed literature.
He also broadcast over radio.
Among the interesting exper-
fences he had was the occasional
killing of rattlesnakes and black
snakes that crossed his path. His
methods was to cast plug at them
and stun them and then kill them
with a club, or trample them.
Twenty rattlesnakes and six black
snakes were killed in this manner.
At one place in Louisiana he was
annoying an alligator by casting
a plug at it and when he stepped
forw ard to place his foot on
log at the edge of the water to i'm
prove his position he discovered
the clog" was another alligator.
He quit bothering alligators for
that day.
During his trip Mr.. ferguson
had many interesting experiences.
He slept out in the open, dined
with millionaires and found shelf
err and food in lowly mountain
huts. Wherever he went he told
the story of Minnesota and at the
same time completed what's prob
ably the worlds first bait casting
marathon.

Report Of Commission.
Discussing the results Of this first
general world conference on Christian
unity, the report of the Episcopal COM
mission says:
Considering the numerous differ
ences, some day very acute. which had
to be faced, the success OF the confer
ence in finally receiving for transmits
sion to the churches six OF its reports
are registers of discussions rather than
committals of the individual members
to the specific propositions affirmed
in them They are not transmitted
to the churches as formal agreements
or resolutions to be ratified, but as
material for consideration, discussion,
and further conference. 1t Is to be re-
membered that the expressed purpose
of the world conference which your
commission was appointed in 1910 to
bring about was educational. Its aim
was to promote mutual understand
ing between Christian communions
throughout the world, both of their
agreements and of their differences.
Faithfulness to convictions was clearly
promised; and in order that no COM
munion might be deferred from send
ing delegates through fear of compro-
missing committals, 1t was stipulated
that the conference should be limited
to study and discussion without pow
er to legislate or to adopt resolutions"

HOOVER SATISFIED
WITH RACE TO DATE
Nominee Refrains From Pro-
pheCies, but Holds to
Original Strategy.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
While Herbert Hoover engages in no
political prophecies, he has informed
his friends that he is satisfied not only
with the general outlook over the cour-
try, but also with the manner in which
the major strategy of his own cam
paign is working out.
This strategy has been to confine his
addresses to discussion of the issues
and his own philosophy of government
and to keep clear of personalities and
controversies which might obscure what
he regards as the fundamental prin-
ciples in which the public is primarily
interested.
The plan was followed in his pre-
convention campaign, and he has
adhered to it rigidly since his nomina-
ton, although at times there has been
no small amount of pressure put upon
him to depart from it in specific
instances.
Silent on Names.
Aside from his public addresses. he
has made few statements for puhlica-
ton and only one Of these has dealt
with claims of the opposition. This was
his statement that the Kellogg BRAND
treaty constituted the greatest contribu-
ton to world peace and was a complete
answer to the charge of the Democrats
that the Republican party had done
little in the cause of peace.
Not once since the campaign opened
has Hoover mentioned in an address or
public statement the name of his Demo-
cratic opponents, and only upon a very
few occasions has he referred to the
Democratic party or the opposition
This in itself is somewhat unusual in
political campaigns.
While Hoover himself has confined
his efforts to outlining his position and
that of his party, Republican leaders
have been active in replying to the as
saults which have been made on the
party record. Cabinet officers, Senators
and others are stumping the country in
person or by radio replying to Gov.
Alfred E. Smith and other chieftains
Of the opposition party.
Four More Speeches.
Hoover now plans to make only four
more speeches before election day. His
next two platform efforts will be on
Eastern ground where the fight between
the two parties wages the hottest; his
third will be in the Middle West, while
the last will be from the quiet of his
study in his California home
This speech, to be made on election
eve, will be broadcast over a hook-up
second only to that for his notification
speech, and in it the Republican presi-
Dental candidate will make a statement
on the issues and will urge the voters
to go to the polls on November 6 to
register their choice in the national
congressional and State contests.

CITY PRINTING BILL
COST CUT EXPECTED
Purchasing Agent Says District
Should Save by Having G. P. 0.
Do Work.

Prediction that the new policy of the
District government in having its print
ing done at the Government Printing
once will result in a monetary saving
is made by NJ C. Hargrove, purchasing
agent of the District, in his annual re-
port for the last fiscal year, made public
yesterday by the Commissioners.
while there is no material difference
in prices between the Government
Printing Ofice and the commercial
printer for the initial set-up and print
ing of a blank form,i Hargrove said,
"the saving will be effected, if and
when reprints of the same form are
procured The Government Printing
initial Set-up, which is the most COST
Office will plate and preserve the
iy part of producing form. The
only charge then is for paper and
presswork, whereas in work procured
from the commercial printer the set-up
was paid for each time the form was
purchased"
HargroTe reported that his Office
spent $5,049,4I779 during the year for
supplies, the largest item amounting to
81 ,532, ,388.75, being for construction
material used in road, street and sewer
work.

WELLS NOT TO DELAY
BUILDING SERIOUSLY
Revenue Structure Foundations to
Be Ready by December Despite
Artesian Flow.

Although delays in completing the
piIings and foundations for the Internal
Revenue Building have been caused by
the discovery of artesian wells, present
prospects point to completion of the
contract some time early in December.
It was learned today.
The artesian wells, which were struck
in various parts of the big site bound
cd by Tenth and Twelfth, B and G
streets, ruined several concrete piles
which are now being replaced. The
wells boiled up through the bottom OF
the freshly poured concrete in such vol
ume that they carried the cement out OF
the gravel at the bottom of the piles to
the top, weakeningsgfle structure till the
Hiles were not considered passable by
iaae Government engineers in charge.
Plans and specifications for the SUI
perstructure of the Internal Revenue
Building are rapidly being completed in
the office of the supervising architect
of the Treasury. and are expected to be
put on the market soon, when bids will

SNOWSTORM HALTS
HARVEST IN CANADA
High Wind Accompanying
FURRY Plays Havoc With
Communication Systems.

By the Associated Press.
SASKATOON. Saskatchewan. october
11.--A snowstorm swept across Alberta
and Saskatchewan today, halting the
late. Fall harvesting and playing havoc
with communication systems.
The snow was not heavy, but was
driven by strong north and north
east wind which blew down telephone
and telegraph poles and wires.
Most of the thrashing has been COM
pleted, but there are several isolated
points where the grain still remains in
the field. The storm has caused an
indefinite suspension Of the work.
The snow added to the rain of the
past few days, made the roads almost
impossible in places and delayed repair
Of the disrupted communication lines.
The temperature was dropping over
Manitoba today and snow fiurries we're
forecast there for tonight
