nothing in the law to prevent Mr..
Garner following this course.

defended the eighteenth amendment in

the present liuuor laws in a speech de-
Iivered at Briar Cliff Lodge last night
before the Theta Delta Chi Fraternity
Held Too Arbitrary.
"The mistake" he said referring to

None Known in Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh police said inquiry has
failed to uncover single submachine

ary officials and banks" he declared.

Under the former plan of distribu-
tion by dealers before we took control,
1t was sometimes possible for a gangster
to tempt a dealer with four or five times
the regular purchase price of the gun.

chased by individuals"

to raise family about them. The re-
suit Is that the birthrate is much

 TASK FOR WORKERS

ANN HARBOR, Mich, Nov. 3, - Building monuments to Arctic ex- plorerS at the scene of their ex- ploitS is no easy task, according to Prof, Ralph L. Belknap, of the Geology Department of the Uni versity of Michigan.
 Professor Belknap was engineer in charge of construction of a 5O- foot granite shaft built on the heights of Cape York in Greenland. One angle of the triangular monu- ment points to the North Pole reached in 1909 by Admiral Peary, in whose honor the shaft was built.
 Ten men camped 1, 1,46O feet above sea level in the lee of an ice cap to build the monument, Belknap re- lateS. The shaft was sunk three feet to bedrock and materials were hauled up the mountain side. The last day ice was melted to make water for the masonry.

J. A. Handrahan, in S m n t banker headquarters in Juneau, arrived in Seward Wednesday and remains here until the next steam CT leaves for the south, returning then to his headquarters at Ju- neau and making a short trip to Seattle the latter part of the month. MT. Handrahan passed thru Seward last April on his way to the Interior, intending to fin iSh up his work in 30 or 50 days, but found the country so large and with So much to see, that it has taken him all this time to com pIete the trip.
 This tour took Iii minto Circle Springs where he found MT. Leech building up a wonderful resort, and reports a very good business. Con- siderable mining activity is going on around the Circle Springs dis trict, as all of MT. Leech's space is reserved this winter on account of prospectors making headquarters at his place.
 Last spring ground running dollar to the square foot of bed rock was discovered on Ketchen creek, which resulted in quite little excitement in that district. MT. Handrahan finds that about 97 per cent of the people in Alaska are directly and indirectly inter- eSted in mines, and he therefore decided to join the 97 per cent and has taken leases and options on 10 claims on Ketchen and Haldem creeks, which are located about three miles from circle Springs.
