Supt. Smith has expressed full ap-
probation to all of the agencies Of the
law that are offering full cooperation
to his bureau, stating that the more
aid given, the more efficient will be
the service of the bureau.
Supt. Smith has recently gained ma
tion-wide notice for his constant in
sistence that the state and national
governments take immediate action
looking to the complete control of tear
gas and tear gas equipment, thus TAX

now used successfully by many crooks
and gangs.
In his report, Supt. Smith lists a
$25 reward that is being offered for
the arrest of Lester Wallace, white.

Raymond Siegenthaler, of Dover, has

LION HUNT TO
BE ST AGED

will be led by a chain over section
of the territory and then permitted
to spring from limb to limb of the
trees in the woods for a distance of
probably two miles.
The lion will then be chained to the
tree in such manner that the dogs
will be able to come within safe dis
tance Of the animal after making the
chase and freeing.
The lion and some of the dogs in
the vicinity of Plain City already
know what is what in this latest game
of lion hunting.
A few days ago, twenty coon hum
ters and coon hound owners decided
to give their dogs a taste of real wild
west sport and had the lion put
through its PAGES without the dogs
suspecting the source of their meat
The lion was finally chained to a
tree and the dogs taken to the start
ing point, where they were unleashed.
The owner of the lion never put on
or saw better circus.
The first one of the dogs to pick
up the trail of the lion, stopped abb
ruptly, his hair standing on edge like
porcupine and uttering a howl of
evident dismay, turned tail and was
not found until two days later.
Only one of the twenty dogs fin
ished the run, this canine being the
oldest one in the pack. The sport
was much enjoyed.

Railroads Help Fight Fires

To prevent railroad-caused fires in
the forests some of the railroad COM
panies in the south are sending out in
structions to their employees to clear
rubbish and dry leaves from bridges
trestles and other company property
and to guard against engines throw
ing or dropping fire. All train crews
are urged to keep a careful lookout
for fires and report them promptly.
The United States Forest Service rec
ords for the last five years show about
8 percent of the reported fires to be
railroad caused.

Glover later interpreted this statement
as invoking patriotism rather than
campaign work.
AT the Republican convention, some
400 delegates were Federai office hold
ers-United States marshals, post
masters and others. The objections to
political activity on their part are
just as valid as on the part of the de-
partmental clerks and other employees
whom the commission addressed.
with the large number of Federal
office holders left free and even en-
couraged to electioneer, bureaucracy
tends to become a self-perpetuating
institution, working for no political
principle. :. Such a spectacle as that
at Chicago where office-holder dele
gates were whipped into line to OBJ
tain a majority for the administra-
tion's prohibition plank, is another in
stance of how political patronage
works, to the extinction of democratic
principles"

CAPT. STRONG TELLS OF WORK
 AT DEASE LAKE
Trader and Steamboat Operator Accounts Ac-
 tivities on Creeks

Bringing 20 ounces of coarse gold, taken from placer claims in Dease Lake district of northern British Columbia, Capt. William Strong, who operates boats on the Taku and Stikine Rivers and trad ing posts at Tulssquah and Tele- graph Creek, is in Juneau on a business visit of several days. He came here from Wrangell, to which place he had journeyed down the Stikine from Telegraph Creek.
 T left Telegraph Creek Novem- Der 1,7 Capt. Strong said. ''The up- ger Stikine was frozen then, but the 16O mile stretch of the river between Telegraph Greek and Wrangell was still open to navi- gation, and we beat the ice into Wrangell.
 In Dease Lake Area
 Before leaving Telegraph Creek, I spent three weeks in the Dease lake area. There was considerable work in that region during the past season, and some work will be continued throughout the winter.
 "On an unnamed creek flowing into the head of the Muddy River, about 80 miles from Dease Lake, pay dirt was found this fall. On Gold Pan Creek, a tributary of the Muddy, about 40 miles southeast of Dease Lake, several men did better than wages this year, and Ned Cabion and J. Vickery did un- usually well.
 Activity On Palmer
 ''Of the several men who worked claims on Palmer CT elk, Earl Faulkner did the best. Two ous- fits on Palmer are doing winter work, opening up ground for spring operations.
 ''All the men who engaged in prospecting or developing activities in the past season will be back next season, and unquestionably there will be quite a few newcom- CTS.
 Transportation difficulties pre- vent extensive prospecting and greater development of promising ground in the Dease Lake region at the present time"
 After his stay here, Capt. Strong plans to go to Tulsequah for a brief visit. After his Tulsequah trip, he expects to go to Vancouver, B. C., in connection with business matters.
