cottontail rabbits from Kansas, 300
partridges from Texas and 300 ring

Bay and river will provide fine salt
water fishing and grabbing this sea-
son.
Warming was issued by the COM

and gassed. It was pointed out that
a quarantine against dogs is still in
effect in Brandywine hundred be-
cause of several cases of hydro
phobia found there recently.
The present were Mr.. Robinson,
Wilbur Rawley, of Leipsic, and John
Isaacs, of Glendale, both members
of the commission; Chief Warden

The principal of the trust fund
will revert to the estate after the
death of the husband, according to
the terms of the will, and then the
entire amount will be turned over
to Mr.. Black.
The balance of the estate, with
the exception of small bequests, was
willed to willard R. Black, trust
officer of the First National Bank &
Trust Company" according to the
terms of the document.
Another clause in the will pro-
vided that in case the will was con-
tested by Mr.. Regnier that the en-
tire estate, including the trust fund,
was to go to Mr.. Black.
Questioned by an Independent re-
porter this afternoon, Mr.. Black ad-
mitted that he scarcely knew Mrs.
Regnier and that he could not recall
her face although the name was
familiar.
81 handled her affairs the same as
1 handle hundreds of others in the
capacity of trust officer of this bank
and I recall the name, but cannot
place the late Mrs. Regnier," Mr..
Black said.
Surprise to Him
"It is as much surprise to me as
anyone" he added.
Many persons doing business with
the trust department have made re-
marks about leaving me money, but
this is the first time it ever hap
pened." the bank official said.
Mr.. Black said that the husband
was to receive an allowance OF $lOO
a month from the estate during his
lifetime, two cash requests OF $lO,-
600 were made, and the balance at
the death of Mr.. Regnier was willed
to him, according to his interpreta-
ton of the document.
Despite his good fortune, Mr..
Black was still continuing in the
capacity of trust officer and seemed
little upset regarding the rosy out
look for the future.
Mrs. Regnier came to Largo about
seven months ago from Milford,
Del, and died in a st. Petersburg
hospital after long illness.

42-YEAR FICTION SLEUTH
STILL VERY WIDELY READ
How old is Sherlock Holmes?


Interest in this question has been
revived by the production of the all
talking Paramount picture, "The Re-
turn of Sherlock Holiness" the fea-
ture at the Dover Opera House today
and tomorrow.
Give Brook, the featured player,
has figured out that Sherlock
Holmes will celebrate his 42nd birth
day this year. The sleuth made his
literary debut in 1887 when his Gre
ator, Sir Arthur Doyle, presented
him for the first time in "a Study in
Scarlet"
In 1881, the master criminal hunt
err attained tremendous popularity
via "The Adventures Of Sherlock
Holiness" which first appeared in the
Strand Magazine. His further ex-
ploits were recorded in "The Me-
moirs of Sherlock Holmes" The
Hound of the Baskervilles, and 1.-THE
Return of Sherlock Holmes"
Since Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's
creation Of the character, Sherlock
Holmes has had a host of imitators

N INNEAPOL1S, Mimi, July IL
I'M A. L. Houghton of the Harper
Country Club of Washington
needed another score better
than his opening effort today to quail
ify for the final two rounds of the open
championship over the Interlachen
course here, while Arthur B. Thorn of
the Woodmont Club and Mel Shorey of
the East Potomac Park public course
also had to better today their efforts of
yesterday if they were to remain in the
chase for the championship.
Houghton yesterday registered a card
of 70, while Shorey had 10 and Thorn,
playing poorly. had 81. All suffered
from the blighting heat which stalked
over the Interlachen fairways like a
devastating blast.
Houghton started in good shape, reg
istering a 38 for the first nine, even
with on the fourth. but over the
hard last nine, he took 40 strokes.
Thorn started badlr, with 5, 6, 4, each
hole being played in one over perfect
figures. Then he took 6 on the par 4
second and another on the par 5
ninth to get out in AZ.
A 40, which includes two SKIES on
the last nine. ruined Shorey's chance.
The short holes we're his nemesis. He
was over par on all but one Of the par 3
holes and took SIS in some of the par
As. He also found the greens very
tricky, having three puts on several
greens. Shorey was over par on the
first six holes and only by bagging
birdie on the ninth was he able to keep
pace with par on the last three holes
going out. He started the incoming
round with pars on the tenth and elev-
enth, but went one over at the twelfth.
He finished with three As for 40.
Houghton was unsteady on both mines.
He was over par on the first nine
and 4 over on the last nine to gather
his rs. His tee shots were of the line
from a number of tees and his irons
also were wild. He found the deep rough
too much for him, and although the
field as a whole found the rough ex-
pensive in the matter of strokes. Hough-
ton had better than usual luck. His
fine recoveries saved him at least half
dozen strokes.
Here are scores of the three Wash
ington professionals:

sy T. shantzanson In Charge coqus Experiment stason)

The following is the text of an adj
dress delivered at Duluth Engineers
Club meeting, at Cloquet on August
Is, 1880. Accompanying the article is
map showing the timber product
centers in Minnesota with an analysis
of the Cloquet center Mr.. Hanson in
his address produced figures to show
what can be accomplished with con-
certed action in the production of
timber in the Arrowhead country. In
his address he said:
For want of better title I have
chosen the three words, FallacieS,
Fancies and Facts. 1t affords me an
opportunity to digresS in any way
may see fit and still stick to the sub
ject. OF course, I expect to apply it
to the forest situation in northern
Minnesota and through the nation as
whole. Because any problem in for
estry is not a local one, it is related
to all economic problems throughout
the country and it is impossible to dis
cuSs it without going beyond the con-
fines of the locality and without going
beyond the problems of forestry and
the lumber industry. I am going to
attempt to confine myself largely to
the question of the use of land as it
relates to the raising of wood crops.
The basis on which we must consider
the practice of forestry is land use.
That is the fundamental problem
which must be solved before we can

to us for the immediate future. I be-
lieve that we will solve our forest
problems before the shoe pinches too
hard I believe that there is an
element of truth in the inexhaustibiity
of our timber supply. The quality, the
species, the price will change, the
method of utilizing and manufacturing
will change, but this nation will al
ways produce wood products. There
is a nid-point between these two lines
of thought, which is, I believe, the
right one.
The last fallacy is that in the minds
of the public there is a feeling that it
is unwiSe, uneconomic, and somewhat
disgraceful to admit that within a
given region there are areas better
suited to the growing of timber crops
than food crops. 1t is my firm con-
viction that given fair and equitable
rate of taxation and given adequate
fire protection the raising of timber
crops can and will take its place with
any form of business. I believe that
over long period of years it will show
a stable and satisfactory return. be-
lieve that honesty is the best policy
and that no amount of propaganda
will keep any area either in forest
crops or agricultural crops if it does
not belong there.
Now for the Fancies and Facts. We
have at Cloquet, as you know, a group
of efficient, we'll integrated woodusing

GAS TAX REFUNDS GROW
SLOWLY BUT STEADILY

Gasoline tax refunds in Minnesota
are increasing slowly but steadily, &C
cording to Highway bulletin. An
analysis Of the gas tax reports shows
that in 1926, $40 per cent of the gross
receipts were refunded; in 1927, 6.08
per cent; in 1925 TIA per cent; in 1929,
7.67 per cent, and for the first nine
months of 1880, 7.84 per cent.
A classification of claims shows that
IS per cent of the refunds go to agri-
culture, / per cent to aviation, 25 per
cent to dry cleaners, 121 to industrial
users, 81 to railroads, ISL to road
construction, OIL to the u. S. govern
ment and OF per cent miscellaneous
Refunds in Minnesota, however, are
small compared to some other states.
In North Dakota it is reported that
the average 80 per cent of the gross,
in South Dakota "a per cent, in Kansas
II per cent, in Montana Is per cent.
In many states, however, the percen-
tage is smaller than in Minnesota and
in some states no refunds are allowed.
Total refunds in this state from Jan.
/ to Oct. were $682,841. In 1929 the
refunds amounted to $739,020.
