MAGNET R ] Ms
MACHINE

RUSHVILLE, Ind, June 1s d.N.
g.|.-The latest perpetual motion
machine is the invention of Morton
Conner, Rushville inventor and for.
Her newspaper man.
The device is operated solely by
magnetism. To escape defect which
have prevented the success of sim
liar inv, atoms. Conner has originated
q method Of causing the magnets
to reverse themselves. the poles al
ternating their positions autofnat.
lcalIy without human assistance.
The poles Of magnets with con.
cave. bevelled edges are located on
the md !, t a fulcrum which alses
and lowers itself automatically. The
round magnet attached to the rotary
wheel is thus attracted by one mr. e.
net and repelled al the same time
by the magnet on the other side.
Although Conner has made no e.
fort to put the device TO any prac.
tical purpose, more powerful mag
nets would provide as much power
as a small dynamo.
The fulcrum ie operated by troll.
leys which strike arms extending
from the fulcrum. Thus only slight
amount of friction must bef over
come and two two-Inch magnets
operate Hve.pound rotary wheel.

TERRITORIAL AID HAS
 REVIVED PROSPECTING

A revival of prospecting in Al aska is one of the most encourag- ing signs in the mining industry declared N. M. Wimmler, who re. gently returned to Juneau from a three-months' study of placer min ing over a wide area of the Terri tory. He found a substantial in- crease over the past several years in the number of men engaged in the search for new mining areas. This he attributed to two main reasons. One is to the Territory's Prospectors' Aid program and the other is the activities of larger companies in both placer and lode mining branches of the industry Many of the men now in the hills were enabled to get there through the aid extended by tue Territory in the payment of the transporta- tion costs.

WHITE MOOSE IS KILLED IN
 THE CASSIAR
Strange Animal was Killed aSzzz@ by F. c. Weems, a Bank
 ing Man of New York

A snow white moose was killed in the Cassiar a few days ago by F. c. Weems of New York. MT. Weems was brought down the Sti- kline to Wrangell in a small boat by John Simpson. They arrived here just in time for Mir. Weems to board the Princess Alice south bound.
 MT. Weems is a seasoned big game hunter, having hunted in many parts of the North American continent and also in Africa. His trip into the Cassiar was primarily for the purpose of hunting sheep of a special variety in which he was interested. He was successful in his sheep hunt, and incidentally he bagged big grizzly. He passed up numerous opportunities to shoot moose and caribou until he came upon a white moose which he killed. It was above the aver age in size and is sure to arouse scientific interest. It had the usual brown eyes but he hoofs were white. The hide and antlers will be shipped to New York. The ami nal was killed at DeFoe Mountain in northern British Columbia about three hundred miles north east of Wrangell. MT. Weems, who bagged this rare specimen is asso- ciated with the Wall street bank ing firm of J. P. Morgan & Co. He is very enthusiastic about North ern B. c. as a field for big game hunters and prefers northern Can and to Africa for hunting pur- poses. He is particularly proud of the freak moose which he killed and says if that had been the only animal he had bagged he would feel more than repaid for his trip into the Cassiar.

Mrs. William Lloyd, an old resi- dent of Wrangell, died at her home on lower Front street at about 6:30 o'clock Sunday evening.
 At 4:30 Sunday afternoon she was not feeling well and lay down. A few minutes after six her hus- band went into her room. She was perfectly quiet and he supposed her to be asleep. At g o'clock he went into her room again. There was such stiffness that he became uneasy, and on examination found that she was dead. The indications were that she had been dead be- tween two or three hours.
 The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon in the Presbyterian church with which Mrs. Lloyd had been affiliated for many years The funeral address was made by the Rev. Robert Joseph Diven, the pastor The Sisters and Brothers pastor. The Sisters and Brotehrs Society, of which the deceased was also a member, attended the funer- al service in a body. The floral of ferings were lavish and very beau tiful.
 Mrs. Lloyd was born in Sitka about 65 years ago. She had lived in Wrangell for number of years, and her life in the community found expression largely through the work that is carried on by the Sisters and Brothers Society.
 Mrs. Lloyd is survived by her husband, William Lloyd, pioneer who has resided in Wrangell for more than 30 years, and who has the sympathy of the community in the loss of a beloved companion.

GOATS BATTERED FOR
 OUTSIDE ELK

OLYMPIA, Wash. Bartering, reminiscent of prehistoric eras, still has its place in the twentieth century. Elk are swapped for mountain goats bye Washington and Alaska to develop the fauna of the two states. The official barter ing, instituted this year, will be continued next year Charles R. Maybury, director of fisheries and game, said today
 One adult goat is worth a year. ling Olympia elk in the exchange. But the costs to the Alaska Game Commission and the Washington department are at great variance. The last four goats delivered were trapped at a cost of between $500 and $400 each in the St. Elias range back of Cordova. The elk were caught in the Olympics by Dora Huelsdonk, daughter of pio- neer peninsula settler.
 The goats withstand captivity very poorly, Director Maybury said, and must be handled with great care and speed. The last shipment, three billies and one nanny, was turned loose on Storm King mountain, back of Lake Cres- cent under the personal supervi- sion of H. M. Fisher, chairman of the Clallam county game commits sion.
 The Alaska game commission is attempting to introduce the Roose- welt elk into the Territory, hoping it will thrive in the southern re- gions as the reindeer has in the far north
 While we have some mountain goats in the srate," Maybury said, i've haven't nearly as many as we should. But we have a surplus of Olympia elk which we are glad to trade with the Alaska commission"

TAK0TNA RESIDENTS WANT
 DOCTOR FOR DISTRICT

Residents of Takotna and near by communities are making an ap- peal to the federal bureau of edu- cation for the stationing of a doc tor in that section of Alaska. A petition was circulated during the summer and forwarded to Gov. Geo. A. Parks, the request for ac- tion setting forth the following ar guments:
 We, the undersigned, residents of McGrath, Berry's Landing, Ta- kotna, Big River, Ophir, Iditarod, Slietmute, Georgetown, Crooked River, Fairview, Nikoli and Telida, respectfully petition the Territory of Alaska or the Bureau of Educa- tion, Department of the Interior, either acting singly or jointly, to furnish us a physician who will be responsible for the health condi- tions of the above-named villages.
 'This entire section of Alaska is entirely without medical relief or aid of any kind, having neither a doctor or a nurse within a radius of 300 miles. the nearest being 500 miles away .(river traveD at Akiak, and 300 miles to Fairbanks Gland travel).
 "There are weeks in the spring and fall when it is impossible to travel by plane, boat or dog team. At these times we are absolutely unable to secure medical aid of any kind whatsoever"
 The petition states that the pop ulation to be served consists of about 450 whites and 455 natives. These figures, however, do not in- clude some 400 natives scattered up and down the Kuskokwim river and outlying places.
 The request has been approved by E. J. Beck, district superintend ent of the bureau who was in the Takotna section at the time the pe- tition was being circulated. His endorsement was as follows:
 Having passed through here and inspected the territory I can subscribe to the above facts con- tained in this petition"
