Devils Lake, N. D., Mar. 10.-Pe
Deaths of four Sioux Indians, the
possibly fatal illness Of three more
and the disappearance and perhaps
death of another today were attribute
ed by Benson county authorities to q
drinking party IN which denatured
alcohol served as q beverage.
It had first been reported that the
Indians had been drinking an anti
freeze solution, stolen from a toxic
merchant but the state regulatory de-
partment advised that the solution is
not poisonous, according to w. G. Nc
Donald, Minnewaukan, Benson coua-
ty states attorney.
The dead, stricken at q dance near
Toxic on the Fort Totten reservation,
are Francis Razett. Jerome Clubhouse.
Jerome Albert and Mike Goodhouse.
Those seriously ill r William
Wanatan, Francis Demars and
George Ross.
Bought Poison Alcohol
Matthias Taylor, held for question:
ing, said Wanatan bought a gallon of
denatured alcohol in Devils Lake FRI
day morning shortly before the drink
ing party started, according to Nc
Donald. Wanatan, blinded and par
alyzed, is unable to talk.
Taylor said James Jackson. the
missing Indian, stole a quart Of the
compound from a Toxic store and 1t
is assumed the Indians drank that as
well as the denatured alcohol.

TARIFF RE A lY
FOR VOTING

A new version Of the long pend
ing tariff bill was completed today
by the House and Senate confefees
with each group drawing up re.
ports to be submitted to their
branches of Congress next week.
The conferees reached agree.
mentS on all rates and admins.
trative features excepting sugar.
cement, lumber, shingles, silver.
the flexible tariff clause, and the
debenture plan Of farm relief.
Conferees will report they dis.
agreed upon these items and ask
for separate votes in both House
and Senate. =
The conferees expected little
opposition to their compromise
bill, except for revolt brewing
IN the Senate against comproTnise
rates on watches and clocks. It
was charged the conferees went
above the Senate Finance Com.
mittee schedules.
The sugar controversy may be
settled by the House ACCEPTING
the Senate rate Of $3.50 per 100
pounds on Cuban imports. = On
lumber, the Senate placed . duty
Of $3.50 per 1000, feet on soft
wood timbers, The House had
placed this item on the free list.
The controversy over the rate
ION Portland and other hydraulic
cement may be settled quickly.
since the Senate approved q rate
Of 6 cents per 100 pounds, as
compared to the House rate Of
8 cents. 49,
The clash over the Senates &C.
ton in placing a duty Of 80 cents
an ounce on silver presented
greater difficulties. The House
conferees declared their colleagues
would never accept this duty,
while the Senate confereess de-
clared the upper branch would
never recede. It was the =nn1y
rate in the whole bill which had
not been accepted by the House,
on which the conferees failed 70
reach an agreement.
Indications pointed to ultimate
adoption Of a modified form OF
flexibility, with less power lodged
in the President. The debenture
probably viii be stricken 3rom
the bill in the end. -

m the last lU months and from the wolves, bears and wolverine killing the old deer and the eagles taking Ithe lawns, this herd of 1000 rein deer has been badly depleted in the last two vars. Judging by this herd, it is the first herd in Alaska to be attacked by such bands of wolves and so many bears.
 If the legislature does not take more drastic means to curb these destructive animals, they will kill all the reindeer in Alaska in the next 20 years.
 I should like to ask thru your paper if some old sourdough trap per out there on the coast, won't try and find a predatory animal trap per and send him in to Kokrines where there is something to catch. I would suggest he might make his sets close to Juneau

STANDARDIZATION
To the Editor, Seward Gateway:

To the Editor, Seward Gateway:
 It is very amusing to we oldtim- CTS in Alaska to read the many ar ticleS written recently about the bears, wolves, coyotes and eagles in Alaska and I am surprised that such men as Stewart Edward White who I have read for many years and met twice in Alaska, and have always admired (until he com menced kidding himself along and trying to kid others) would write such articles without more know ledge on the subject. I feel sure that if he or any of his followers had had as many caches robbed by bears; as many reindeerS killed by bear and wolves or as many lawns caught by eagles as have had in the last 32 years, they would not want any of the animals protected.
 Of all the predatory animals, the bear, and especially the brown bear, which is the largest carnivorous animal in the world and the most destructive and dangerous. None of these animals should be protect cd in Alaska any more than the rattlesnakes should be protected in Colorado and Arizona.
 I also see a discussion in your papers in regard to wolves banding in large packs in October 1906. The late o. P. Goss and I counted 32 gray wolves following a herd of caribou in the Mike Hess country and on October II last year I was within 50 yards of nine gray and two black wolves here on the rem deer range. I shot and wounded three with a g but killed none. also saw the tracks of seven more on the same day and on January ', this wear, saw the tracks of b III one band.
 The dead deers killed by wolves, lying on the range, have attracted the brown bears until they also are so thick the herders have killed 12
