MRS. GEO. BLONDEAu
 CHAMP BEAR KILLER

From what the Fairbanks News Miner reports on a recent bear killing story a new Alaska cham piOn makes her bow.
 Says the News Miner:
 Anyone wanting expert in struction in bear hunting should see Mrs. George Blondeau, who is spending the summer at Gen. tral roadhouse in the Circle dis trict. She became the premier bear hunter of the Interior last Saturday when she killed three bears out of a band of five that were raiding a meat cache and knocked over the fourth with a rifle bullet.
 When she saw the bears at tempting to get at the meat Mrs. Blondeau opened fire, getting two cubs and a grown animal with the first salvo. Three of the bears were blacks and two were brown One of the big browns was sent to the ground but eScap- cd after the camp pet, a tooth less old dog had attacked him.

SEA LIONS WRONGFULLY ACCUSED SAYS REPORT
 CALIFORNIA COAST

Commercial fishing interests have for a long time denounced the colonies of sea lions which exist on the coast of Southern California claiming that they are very des- tructive to fish and are injuring fisheries interests An investigation
 of this claim has been made by au- Ithority of the California division of fish and game and it has been found that the charges against the sea lions the greatly exaggerated.
 Two extensive counts were made of the sea lions on the California coast, as well as a survey of their habits and food requirements. It
 was found that there are about 5000 sea lions of two species on the entire coast of California between Oregon and Mexico.
 While fishermen claim that sea lions consume about 50 pounds ot fish each day, records of feeding these animals in captivity indicate that they eat from eight to 1e pounds day. It is also found that most of the fish they consume are hot of the more desirable species but consist chiefly of so-called rough fish of little commercial Ivalue.
 They also feed upon other organ Iisms that are of no value and some Iof which are injurious to fish, and lit appears from the investigation that the sea lions may be of more benefit to the fisheries interests than otherwise.
 Reports and records compiled for "a period of years indicate that the colonies of sea lions are growing smaller in numbers annually.

Oddie Working On
Federal Building

The Age has received letter Of
which the following is a part. rela-
tive to the matter Of federal build
ing in Las Vegas. 1t is Of particular
interest at this time as showing that
Senator Oddie realizes the import
ance Las Vegas attaches to this
question and is devoting himself 20
it,
II had an interesting interview
today with Assistant Secretary OF
the Treasury Heath. who has charge
of the governments building pro-
gram.
II again urged a larger appropri-
alton for the proposed Las Vegas
federal building and outlined the
future need of a much larger build
ing than the one contemplated. l
also urged the selection OF the site
offered by the City of Las Vegas
and feel confident that it will be
accepted.
practically every town and city
in the United States is after some
of the appropriation for federal
building purposes. so it is not an
easy matter to get just what we
want, but I have been at this thing
for long time now, am working
constantly on it, and expect good
results"
