Lynx Blamed For Loss of Fur;
 Mink Hiding For Protection

The scarcity of fur in Alaska this winter is attributed by one oldtimer to the activities of lynx. The coun- try is not being oyer-trapped, in his opinion, and there will be a coming back of fur bearers in normal num- bers as soon as natural conditions will permit them to increase, says the Anchorage Times. The oldtimer who expresses this view is Jack Smeaton, of Sleitmut, who left for the interior after a visit of several days in Anchorage. He is going to Fairbanks for short stay and then will start over the winter trail from Nenana for his headquarters on the upper Kuskokwim.
 His theory regarding the fur sit- uation is that the scarcity of rabbits and birds, on which lynx feed nor mally. has compelled them to prey on foxes and other fur bearers. They lay in wait for their victims and bounce upon them from ambush. And when there are no more foxes or oth- CT prey to feed upon the lynx will begin a battle for existence among themselves, with the result that their number will be very materially re- duced. And when the lynx are gone, or reduced in number sufficiently to permit it, the foxes and other fur bearers will begin to increase at rapid rate.
 MT. Smeaton admits that wolves and coyotes are a menace to fur country, but lynx, in his opinion, are wholly responsible for the present situation. He bases his opinion on the records of the Hudson Bay com pany, which show that foxes have disappeared as suddenly in earlier years, and have always come back.
 Mir. Smeaton does not believe that mink are as scarce as reported. He admits that they may be hard to find but he is sure they are here in un- diminished numbers and able to pro- tect themselves from lynx. His ex- planation is that the little fur bear CTS are staying close to the larger streams, with splendid protection be- heath the ice, and ample feed there. He does not think it is possible for trappers to deplete the supply, and another season, if conditions are right, will find them as plentiful as ever along the trap lines.

 Renewing it's inquiries of last year as to the possibility and the advisa- bility of purchasing the local mu- nicipally owned hydro-electric plant and the city water works, the John P. Van Orsdel Go. representing the w. B. Foshay Corporation, this week asked the council if it was still will ing to consider the sale of the prop critics and if permission would be given for the big power concern to make an appraisal of the physical assets Of the system and an examina- tion of the gross earnings during the last two or three years. After an informal discussion of the communi- cation, the council voted permission to the company to make the exami- nations requested, informing them, however, that the council has no power to diSpOse of these DrODertieS and that the permission given shall not be regarded as binding the city in any way to enter into a deal lead ing to the possible sale of the plants. This is a matter which must be voted upon by the taxpayers of Petersburg.
 Opinion on the desirability of sell ing the plants was about evenly di- yided. Certainly, no arrangements will be entered into until thorough investigation of all aspects has been made. The Foshay Company recently purchased the light and power com panies in Ketchikan, together with other interests, for the sum of two million dollars and are planning to buy all of the public utility compan- ies in southeastern Alaska that they find desirable and which can be pur- chased.

 Read what a neighbor of yours. MT. Fred Hermain of 225 So. Main street, New Britain. has 10 say about Bon- Tone For the past two years my health has been in . very poor condition. Why-last winter was in such bad shape that I hardly could work at all. My stomach gave me a great deal of trouble. as would get terrible pains after eat ing. My back and sides also pained me constantly, and l was troubled with terrible dizzy spells, when would get spots before my eyes, and l would be afraid to go out alone. Constipation was an everlasting trouble to me, as I was constantly taking laxatives for bowel move- ment. Now, since taking several bottles of Bon-Tone, my condition has improved so much, that I think Bon-Tone has certainly made a won- derful showing. Why-the pains in my stomach have almost entirely left me - and the backaches and sideaches have been greatly relieved for which I am so thankful. I am | now seldom troubled with those ter l rible dizzy spells, and Bon Tone has done a whole lot to relieve me ot constipation, as I now no longer have to resort to laxatives for bowel movements. My nerves are much stronger and heartily re- commend this wonderful medicine to others"

Believed to Have Withheld Information Regarding Elm Street House = Busko Fined $lOO.

M.'Greenstein in po- lice court today. and after court she and her Is years old son Michael. who was also a witness in a liquor case, were taken into the detective bureau and questioned for the pur- pose of determining whether or not they had been indrced to withhold testimony. They would not duplicate anyone and were not held.
 Peter Busko, 37. who lives with his wife and three children in the second floor tenement at 3S6 Elm street, above the Caps. was found guilty of violating the liquor law and fined $100 and costs by Judge M. D. Saxe, who said he took into consid- eration the fact that it was the mana first offense, but if he persisted in selling liquor he would go to jai! regardless of the condition of his health or other circumstances Mrs. Cap and her son were states witnesses but refused to connect Busko with the alleged sale of It. quor. They admitted that men visited the tenement but they had never seen anyone under the influence Of liquor on the premises and they had never complained to the police about the place, they said. According to the police. Stanley Cap, Il. was sent to the police station to complain, and recess was taken to summon hii,1 from school. On arriving he was questioned by Mir. Greenstein but would not say his mother had sen, him with the complaint. A man, he said, told him to tell the police. He l was not called to testify.
 Busko was represented by AttOr. ney Harry H. Milkowitz and denied that he had ever sold liquor, but Judge Sake believed the police who offered testimony as to the reputa ton of the tenement.

 On April 6. Officer Liebler said. he and Officer kiely found liquor in Busko's tenement but they did not arrest him because he was sick in bed and conditions in the home were, very poor. At that time Busko promised he would not have liquor in the tenement again.

 Sergeant Feeney testified that meu who loat around the corner of North street and Hartford avenue 'and do nothing but drink" patronixe Bus kos tenement The sergeant has seen men come out of the place intoxicat- ed and he has also seen men go in intoxicated, he said. .s
 Busko's wife, testifying for the de- fense, said she bought the alcohol in question from "a farmer named Jimmy" and used some of it for drinking purposes and some for rub ping, her husband being i'll with rheumatism. The reason she hid it in the attic was to keep it from her children and her husband. the la,- ter being inclined to. drink too much.
