IN RAIL STOCK OFFER

Special Dispatch to The Star
BALTIMORE, November 26.-The
offer OF the Pittsburgh and West Vir-
gin1a Railroad to purchase the Balti-
more 6 Ohio stock holdings In the
western Maryland, made to the inter-
state Commerce Commission yesterday,
Is looked upon in railroad circles here
as strategic move in event the COM
mission orders the Baltimore g. Ohio to
surrender its stock.
Final argument was heard by the
commission last week on that body's
order to the Baltimore SS Ohio to show
cause why 1t should not divest itself
OF the Western Maryland stock, under
the Clayton antitrust act.
The Pocahontas and West Virginia,
1t was pointed out, intervened In these
proceedings and opposed the Baltimore
and Ohio ownership of the stock. With
the filing of the application, it was said,
purchaser Is assured II the stock is
ordered sold.
F. E, Taplin, chairman of the board
Of the Pittsburgh and West Virginia,
some time ago outlined q plan for
through-traf1c route between Baltimore
and the Great Lakes by way of his road,
the Western Maryland and the Wheel
ing and Lake Erie.
This was made possible by the action
OF the Interstate Commerce Commission
in granting the p. v. w. Va. the right
to construct the ConnellSville extension
connecting its tracks with the Western
Maryland.

DLAO AAVAA ~ OANAAIO W. BURGESS.

Old Pasture ever since I can remember
If it is safe for him 1t is safe for me-
Now there was one thing that Peter
didn't remember. This was that it was
the hunting season-the season when
men with terrible guns were always
looking for certain Of the little people
Of the Green Forest and the Green
Meadows, including himself. So. when
Peter heard heavy footsteps coming
down one of the cowpaths, he was not
particularly frightened. It might be
Farmer Browns Boy: it might be
Farmer Brown himself. There was moth
ing in the world to fear from either of
them.
So Peter merely sat perfectly still and
listened to those footsteps drawing
nearer and nearer. And then something
happened. A big stone came crashing
into the bramble tangle where Peter
was sitting. My, how it frightened him!
He bounded away along one of the little
paths out of that bramble tangle and
down the cowpath. Just little way
down there was a turn in the path and
as Peter went around that turn there
was terrible bang behind him. Peter
knew what that bang was. He knew it
was the bang of terrible gun. He had
heard guns before.
If Peter had been frightened when
that stone landed in the bramble tan
gle. he was ten times as frightened now
My, my, my, how he did run! His white
tail bobbed up and down, up and dow1,
as only 1. Rabbits tail can when a
Rabbit Is in ahurry to get somewhere.
And Peter was in a hurry to get some
where. He was in hurry to get as far
as possible from that hunter with the
terrible gun. He darted into bramble
tangle and through this to another little
cowpath. Along this cowpath he raced
and finally, painting and out of breath,
he crept into a hole in the middle of
another bramble tangle.
1t wasn't until then that he felt
sharp pain, or rather sharp ache, In
his left shoulder 1t was very much
such an ache as Peter had known when
he had been stung by a yellow jacket.
At first he thought that this must be
what had happened. But it wasn't. That
was not the sting of a yellow jacket.
1t was the sting of a small shot that
had come from that terrible gun. The
hunter had had only glimpse of Peter
and he had missed him with all but
that one tiny shot. That one had gone
through the skin of Peters shoulder
and now Peter was feeling it.

MY, MY, MY! HOW HE DID RUN!
Peter is outside the dear Old Briar-
patch he must be on his guard every
minute.
Peter was up in the Old Pasture. 1t
was long time since he had been up
there. He ought to have gone home
before daylight, but he hadn't done this
and now, because he saw Redtail the
Hawk circling high over the Green
Meadows, he decided that the wiSest
thing for him to do was to stay there
IN the Old Pasture.
Its safe enough" said Peter. talk
ing to himself "All / have to do is to
watch out for Reddy Fox and Mrs.
Reddy and Old Man Coyote. There are
plenty of bramble tangles where / am
safe from them. Old Jed Thumper,
Mrs Peters father, has lived here in the

Peter Gets Stung.
In recklessness is little gain.
And often very much of pain.
Peter Rabbit,

Peter Rabbit is a little reckless. Yes,
sir. Peter is a little reckless. Perhaps
1t is because he has the wandering foot.
You know, in spite of all little Mrs.
Peter can do, Peter will leave the dear
Old Briar-patch to go roaming about.
Every time he does it he takes a chance
In the dear Old Briar-patch he is COM
paratively safe. Shadow the Weasel is
about the only enemy who can get in

With all all their women killed these ua- tives, on the southern slope Of the Arctic range invaded the Yu- fon river valley, the Tanana ard Nenana valley with the intention to get wives for themselves. This caused another war, which as old Charlie told me spread out al ov- CT the country and killed 1H t'e natives by the thousands
 This war is said to have last ed for several years and depopr lated the country as the small pox did amcng the Eskimos on the west coast. Very little is known by the white people of this war and what am telling about are facts as l got them from Charlie Crow.
 There will not be any more wars in the future. as the ma tives are getting less in number every year. Since the whites in vaded their fur and game retreat it is getting harded for the ma tives to make living and in or der to make this they want to be left in peace" Seward Gate way.

COMMUNITY SPIRIT

It would be beneficial 10 many of our citizens to realize that civ ic pride and community spirit are not measured in costly publicity campaigns. high-sala ried press agents, population and public wealth. If they were, the small town would register but faint!y these greatly-to- be- e-desired com munity virtues.
 The fact is that civic pride anl community spirit should be found in their purest and most unsel- fish form in the small town. The reasons are obvious In the small town there is opportunity for that unity of purpose and neighborli- ness that are ever absent in large centers of population, Cross-pur- poses. class conflicts and cut throat business tactics are usually foreign to the community of limit ca population.
 Great cities, only, can afford to spend thousands advertising their advantages. They can buy ma agazine newspaper and billboard advertising space hire "directors of public relations" and finance vast civic improvements, indus trial expansion programs and real estate developments. But these material manifestations do not made civic pride and community spirit.
 It is the citizen of the small town who takes the greatest pride

LAST GREAT WAR AMONG INTERIOR
 INDIAN TRIBES
Scarcity of Game Caused Indians to Seek New
 Hunting Grounds

This is a story Of the war among as Jean s. Le Rouge, Alaska born and resident of that region who passed through Seward recently enroute to the states for a vaca- tion, was able to gather the facts together
 Our northern country. to the stranger, seems to be peaceful country, still there have been wars waged by the natives. To the reader it probably seems impossi- ble. though I got the facts I am going to relate from some old na- tives to the northern country.
 During my stay at Fort Yukon I had talk with one of the old est natives, Charlie Crow, who at that time was about 90 years of age and he narrated a tale which he had heard from his grandfather Old Chrle belongs to the Fort Yukon natives now. His folks or iginally had lived on the Canadian side in the Peel River country. Proba blv scarcity of game or fur caused them to leave their hunt ing grounds, So they invaded the Yukon River valley and settled down at Fort Yukon on the Por- cupine, Old Crow, Salmon and Black Rivers.
 This country up to now is one of tho richest fur centers. To the northwest of Fort Yukon were located the Chandelar natives, Kobuks and on the north slope of the Arctic range We find the Huskies, To the east and south east the Athabascians prevailed. The Panama Valley basin and the Yukon basins were densely popu lated at that time by natives.
 "As the story goes the Huskies went over the range and invaded the Chandelar and Kobuk region they broke into the native camps while all the younger men were away hunting and abused and tor tured every woman and girl in the tribe and finally killed them, Thus trying to exterminate the whole tribe. The Chandelars an Kobuks on returning and inding all their women killed swore ven geance and caught the Huskies by surprise and tortured and killed all their women and girls and '.rove the men back to the Arctic coast.

CHICAGO WANTS DEMPSEY
TO PROMOTE TITLE SCRAP
Windy City Officials Believe Jack Could Put Over
Championship Ring Battle.

for his activities. Since boxing was
legalized in. tins state, Chicago has
not had a native promoter who
could demonstrate his ability to put
over championship bout.
There is little doubt but what
Dempsey could come into the town
and show a sell-out for almost any
championship affray. Jack has a
tremendous drawing power here and
his name connected with any bout
probably would pack the arena.
OF course, there is the Illinois law
which provides a promoter must
have established a years residence
prior to any bout but this could be
gotten around, as was the case when
Rickard promoted the Dempsey
Tunney affair, by Jack merely plac-
ing the name of some other in
dividual as the actual promoter.
Rickard demonstrated that Chi
cago is a real fight town when he
packed something near 10000 peo-
pie into Soldiers field for the second
Dempsey Tunney bout.
Paul Prehu, president of the Ma
tional Boxing Association, and
chairman of the Illinois commission
believes Dempsey could be a big
money maker in Chicago.

forward" Prehn said, land don't
believe there is anybody who could
