CITY OF DEAD
FOUND IN CAVE
California Scientists Brand as
Incredible Desert Mans
Tale

San Francisco, Sept. 12.-(AP)-
The Examiner said today that two
men and a woman have arrived here
with a story Of having discovered a
Getty of the dead" in the California
desert weeks automobile journey
from San Francisco, adding that
University Of California scientists
practically said the tale was incred-
ible.
The newspaper said the self-styled
discoveries are G. A. Howard, Mrs.
Howard, and RUDE King, prospectors,
and that Howard claimed to have
discovered the ruins by following
a three mile subterranean passage
found while working a desert claim.
Mummified remains Of at least
300 persons Of Monaghan type were
reported seen, some seated as If they
had been feasting when stricken by
some catastrophe, while others
seemed to have been assisting at a
human sacrifice, with a mummified
victim, young woman, lying on the
altar. The newspaper quotes Howard
as saying he was partially overcome
by gas while exploring the ruins,
adding that he brought out with him
some handsome trinkets from stores
seen in the ruins.

573 Hunting Licenses
Issued by Isaminger

Hunters from all sections of the
county will take to the fields and
sloughs Sunday with the official
opening Of the duck hunting season.
For the convenience of hunters,
the office of A. c. Isminger, county
auditor is being kept open each eve
ming until 8 o'clock.
According to 1saminger, there is a
rush for licenses, although he no.
tees that the demand is far less
than it was at this time last season.
This, he attributes to the fact that
the chicken season is two weeks later
this year.
So far, 573 hunters have applied
for licenses, Isaminger reported this
morning. Saturday will see q last
minute rush for the permits, he says
The auditor is urging the applicants
to avoid waiting until the last min
ute, as they will be forced to wait
their turn, whether they appear in
person or apply by letter.
Most of the licenses so far have
been issued by mail. Two of the Bis
marck hardware dealers have been
authorized to issue licenses to aid
hunters who come in to buy hunting
supplies. French & Welch and Jar.

the permits.

finding little time for recreation in
the short interval before his depar-

to forego golf on several occasions
because Of the vast amount of work
demanding his attention at the state

Mayor James ]. Walker, after a

his offices in the capitol, remarked
that he "never saw him in better

Yesterday, the governor devoted
seven solid hours at his desk in the
executive offices, and because of
the late hour after six o'clock -
when he quit, had to give up his
daily round of golf before dinner.
On his way home, however, he
stopped, as he often does, to pay his
respects to his year old grand
daughter, Mary Adams Warner. Not
long after dinner, George 3. Graves,
secretary to the governor and who
has not had day or night off in
three weeks, was summoned to the
mansion, along with a stenographer.
Two more hours of work followed
before Governor Smith called it a
day.
No engagements were listed for
the nominee today, but he let it be
known that before he leaves for the
west Sunday to open his campaign
with a speech at Omaha next Tues
day night, he will talk over the state
political situation with leaders of
the Democratic committee.

OFFICIAL. TEXT IF CAME COMMISSION
 MEETING JUNEAU

The Fourth Annual Meeting of the Alaska Game Commission convened in the offices of the Commission at Juneau on February 6. Two changes occurred in the personnel of the Com- mission since it's last meeting, Mr Irving Nick. Reed succeeds Dr. Pres ton S. Whitney from the Fourth Di- vision, and MT. J. c. Widstead suc- ceeds MT. Tros. D. Jensen from the Second Division. Upon completion of it's work the Commission adjourned on February 21.
 It is the desire of the Commission to make as few changes as possible in the present regulations. It was found, however, from recommends tions received from trappers and other residents interested in the wild life of the Territory, and from recommen- dations of the Commissions field force, that some changes in seasons for the taking of fur-bearing animals were desirable to allow trapping to be done when the fur is more fully prime These changes in the regulations pro- mulgated under the Alaska Game Law for the year beginning July 1, 1928, are being recommended to the secre- tary of Agriculture.

BLACK BEAR

Petitions and recommendations from residents of that part of Fur Dis trict No. 2, north of the Alaska Range and Ahklun Mountains, ask that the protection now given black bear through the closed season from June 20 to September 1 be removed. These recommendations and petitions are based on the damage being done to the supply of game animals by the black bear killing young moose and caribou calves. The Commission rec ommends that there be no closed sea- son on black bear in that part of Fur District Mo- north of the Alaska Range and Ahklun Mountains.
 Permits to Capture ur-Bearers for Propagation Purposes.
 That the fur farms of the Territory may benefit from the sale of domes- ticated fur-bearers for breeding stock. the Commission will hereafter not is- sue any permits for the capture of fur bearers for propagation purposes where these animals are to be re- moved from the Territory. Few per mits of this nature have been issued but the increasing demand for breed ing stock of Alaskan strains has caused the Commission to adopt this policy.
 Some confusion appears to exist in the interpretation of the present reg ulations where a person desires to re- tain alive for propagation purposes, such animals as are caught during the regular open trapping seasons. Animals may be captured and retain ed alive during the regular open sea son, but is Is necessary to obtain a permit to retain them after the close
 of the open season. Such permits may be secured upon application to the Executive Office of the Commis- sion.

trapping of one or two seasons will not deplete the supply to the danger line leading to extermination. With this end in view, it Is thought best to follow period of one or two open seasons with like period of closed seasons.
 Information received from those sections of the Territory where bea- yer were permitted to be trapped last year, together with the knowledge of the extraordinary large catches made and the losses ensuing from the talk ing of these animals by shooting, has caused the Commission to fear that with the unknown outcome of the pre- sent years open season the danger line is rapidly approaching. This con- dition is being hastened by the ten dency of less experienced trappers to follow the line of least residence and trap too closely those animals found in the more readily accessible regions, in fact the lower reaches of some of the best beaver streams are now all most denuded of beaver. After care ful consideration the Commission is recommending that the beaver sea- son be closed for the year 1929.
