Chain Letters Are
Postal Violation
Postmasters Receive Ruling from
Department at Wash, ID. G. -
Increased Mail Revenue

Postmaster B. F. Dubois recent
ly received word from the postmas-
ter general that chain letters are in
violation Of postal regulations, and
accordingly the public is warned
against using the mails in this lat
est .get-rich-quick" scheme.
It appears the postmaster gener-
al has ruled that the chain letters
are in violation of Sec. COL and are
contrary to rules and statutes gov
erning postal lottery and fraud.
Under this section the violation is
punishable by a $1,000 fine and not
to exceed two years Imprisonment
or both.
Practically every family in the
city of Sank Centre has received at
least four or five of the prosper
ity" letters in this latest craze. Most
Of these letters have been on the
dime basis, but the editor received
two, one for Csc and one for ST. 90.
Needless to say they were not ans
wered.
These letters have greatly in
creased postal revenues and, no
doubt, many are still being mailed
out, regardless of the postal warn
ing. Many have sent out their
dimes only to find that the promise
of making a lot of money for them
selves was futile. Prosperity can
not be attained in such easy ways.

Attempt to Net Bass
For Lake Propagation
Only Three of Game Fish Pro-
cured-ThOusands of Bull
heads in Seine

Through the efforts of the State
Came and Fish Department and
with the cooperation of Mr.. Worm
brock, game warden Of Melrose,
work was begun to seine bass to
plant in the bay in the lower part
of Sank Lake for spawning pur-
roses. Mr.. Vornbrock, with the
help of two commercial fishermen,
from whom he borrowed the nets.
planted three sets which were left
in the bay of Ashley Creek fo- two
nights. The nets were of trap con-
struction, with a long single net in
the center. On either end are a
series of hoops between which a
trap of nets is arranged so that
the haul cannot escape.
On Monday afternoon when they
were pulled up it was discovered
that muskrats had gnawed holes
in two of the nets, but the third
was intact. This haul revealed on
ly three bass, a few pickerel, few
crappies, and literally hundreds of
bullheads. Pictures were taken OF
the truck load Of bullheads which
were made in the single haul.

State Asks Contract
To Keep Bridge Lighted
Will Advertise For Bids To Be
Opened About June
It'll

Members of the Water, Light and
Power Commission have been ask
ed to prepare and present to the
State Highway Department a con-
tract to furnish current to keep
the lights on the new bridge,
which is to be erected over Sank
River in the near future, lighted.
The Highway department will fur
nish the fixtures and wiring for
four lights, two at each end of the
bridge. The fixtures will be highly
ornamental and will be in keeping
with the rest of the structure.
The Highway Department will
advertise for bids to be opened on
or about June 7th, and work will
be commenced as soon as possible
thereafter.
At the presnt time the members
Of the Water, Light and Power
Commission are investigating pro-
positions to either repair the pre-
sent dam or build a new one. A
state SIERRA engineer will be sent
to this city soon to- ascertain the
possibility of state project in
the matter of constructing a new
dam. It is said that where a dam
is not used to develop commercial
power, and is designed for conser-
walton use only, as Is our dam, it
Is possible to erect a structure of
this nature without expense to the
city. plans for the repair or con-
struction of the dam at the present
time are not definite, but the Com
mission is investigating the pro-
position from all angles.

Vornbrock the situation in the 10.
cal lake is becoming dangerous.
Sank Lake is becoming overrun
with bullheads. They rapidly in
crease in numbers in a few years,
due to the fact that the majority
Of fishermen do not fish for them,
and it Is late in the season when
they will bite as do game fish.
Those taken from the lake Mon
day were filled with spawn. Their
large numbers devour a lot of
feed which would ordinarily be
eaten by the game fish. The game
fish taken out were thrown back,
while the bullheads are to be dis
posed Of.
1t is peculiar thing when a
lake as good for fishing as Sank
Lake has been for years that only
three bass could be found in a
haul Of an estimated thousand
fish.

President Vetoed
Patman Bonus Bill
Warned Of Peril to Savings in
Printing Press Money-De-
nOunced Cash Payment

President Roosevelt Wednesday
vetoed the $2,2O0,OO0,OOO Patman
bonus bill, and condemned it as
disastrous when he appeared per-
sonally before a joint session of
congress.
His message was a stern admon-
ition against currency initiation.
He warned that uncontrolled
price and destruction of the value
Of savings" would follow adoption
Of the printing press money plan
Of meeting the demands of special
groups.
II cannot be true to the office
hold II do not weigh the claims
Of all in the scales Of equity" Mr..
Roosevelt said in an emphatic per-
grafton.
II am thinking of those who ser
we'd their country -. of those who
increased crops, who worked in
the mines of those who died in
the cause Of America 4. Of the
widows and orphans Of all Of
them of 100000 of Americans
who with their families are today
in dire need.
"It Is of first Importance that we
yield not to sympathy which would
extend to a single group or class
but that we should extend as
sistance to all.
II believe the welfare of the ma
ton as well as of the future of the
veterans, wholly justifies my dis
approval of this measure"
In vigorous, measured language,
Mr.. Roosevelt told congress and
the nation that the cash-payment
plan was unwarranted.
House and senate assembled
shortly after noon over protests Of
a minority which challenged the
Presidents constitutional right to
deliver in person to both houses a
message vetoing the action of their
majorities.
No president has done so before
him. Floor and galleries were jam
med for this prime political event.
Mr.. Roosevelt called the CASH
payment plan in part straight gra-
tuity. He warned it would raise
fundamental questions of finance.
