Alaskan Island, AIiue ,pith
Sea Otter, Reported Found

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Dis-
coyery of an almost unknown Alas
kan Island, alive with sea otter,
long believed nearly extinct, is re-
ported by United States Senator
Thomas, of Oklahoma, upon his re-
turn here from his recent hurried
tour of Alaska.
The island was discovered by
Commander l.. v. Kielhorn, of the
Coast Guard cutter Chelan, who
reported approximately 5000 ami
mails on the island
Identity of the island has been
kept secret, Senator Thomas said,
and he intends to introduce legis-
lation to make the island perma-
nent game preserve.

success.
In advanced middle age, Sir Basil
resembled portraits of Cardinal
Richelieu. He was over medium
height, of slender and elegant fl
cure and carried himself with the
suggestion of distinction.
BY the time he was 80 years old,
Sir Basil was reputed to be worth
500 100000 and the richest indi-
vidual in Europe The passing OF
the years did not in any way dispel
the aura of romantic mystery which
enveloped him, an act of his late life
serving rather to thicken it.
This was the burning of his diar-
les in which he had recorded the
happenings of each day and his
comments on men and events. In
the presence of six secretaries he
consigned them to the flames and
with them went many hopes for
startling poSt-mortem discourses.
1t was said that a French news
paper had offered $1,000 for one
certain page of these diaries.
Not the least of the mysteries
about him was his rank of Knight OF
the Grand Gross of the Bath. The
title was bestowed by the British
crown on Recommendation of David
Lloyd George for services render
ed" just what those services were
was not disclosed, and neither was
it made plain whether they were
the same obscure reasons that
brought him the grand cross of the
French Legion of Honor.
His apartment in Paris was the
scene of many quiet gatherings OF
famous persons. The King and
Queen of England took tea with
him whenever they were in Paris
Queen Marie of Rumania always
called on him. Lloyd George, Poin-
care, Curzon and other statesmen
lunched or dined there.
To these and other friends Sill
Basil frequently gave cigar bands
as emblems of good luck. 1t was re-
lated that he had several pet su-
perstittions but that belief in the
efficacy of these bits of flambuod-
ant colored paper was the strong
est of them.
In 1927 Victoria, Ltd, gave him
silver cup in recognition of his
/ fifty years connection with thai
firm. 1t was related that the first
big step he made in the firm was
the result of something approach
ing wager.

aself out of his transactions with
Russia in the Japanese war. He
became shareholder in Vickers
and chairman of the company.
Vickers had contracts with the
allied governments at one time to
the amount of 80 million pounds and
Sir Basil shared in the dividends to
the extent of many millions. He
previously had gone heavily into the
Dutch oil companies and had enter
prises of various sorts throughout
the world, all of which appear to
have been successful

Wife Rich Woman
Lady Zaharoff in her own right
was reputed to be one of the richest
women in Spain.
Sir Basil had several residences
His countdy house at Balincourt,
formerly the property of King Leo
pold Of Belgium, is one of the most
beautiful in France. The house is
,,filled with works of art, the results
of selection throughout 40 years in
the markets of Europe. Zaharoffs
favorite exercise was rowing in
lake in the grounds.
zaharoff's famous winter residence
was Monte Carlo. Some years ago
he remarked:
i have spent 80 seasons at Monte
Carlo and I have never yet been
in the Casino"
Sir Basil was reported to have ac-
asquired controlling interest in the
shares of the Monte Carlo conces-
sion shortly after the war at a
moment when M Blanc, the son of
the founder, was in difficult circum-
stances. The Monte Carlo opera. a
duplicate in miniature of the Paris
opera, has three large boxes at the
back of the house. The center bog
is reserved for the Prince on Mon
AGO, the reigning sovereign. The
.one on the left was assigned to
Zharoff for many years. The other
was for friends of the Prince or the
management of the Casino.
Trusted Advisor
Sir Basil was not only purveyor
of arms and munitions but trust
ed political advisor He often was
confidential Intermediary between
BRAND and Lloyd George, and later
George. His frequent arrivals at
: nightfall by automobile at Calais
or Bologne from Paris or at Dover

Forest Notes

A 400 pound black bear and a CCC
worker in the Superior national forest
recently had a disagreement. The argu-
ment was settled when blow to the
head was delivered to Mr. Bruin with
a cruisers axe.
Leon Fountain, Big Lake, Is night

gan invading the "tent city" about a
month ago in the desire to be well fed
before the long winter spent in hiber-
nation. His first point of attack was
the garbage pit located at the edge of
the camp, but recently he showed de-
cided preference for the supply tent.
About z o'clock a few nights ago the
bear ambled up to the supply tent, and
Leon, grabbing an axe, attempted to
frighten him away. Instead of being
frightened Bruin reared up on his hind
legs, and struck at the guard with his
powerful paw. Icons retreat had been
cut off, and that is when the argument
started. A quick blow with the axe
stunned the black intruder, and a sec

Commission Will Study

The state conservation commission,
at its regular meeting this week, will
consider problems of leasing and man
aging approximately 100000 acres of
tax deliquent lands within conservation
areas.
Such lands revert to the state in fee
and are not subject to the trust limit
alton imposed on reverted lands out
side conservation areas. Statutes pro-
vide that such lands are to be managed
by the commission.
The commission will also study the
third biennial report of the department.
of conservation which is now being
prepared. The report is to be sub
mitted to the 1887 legislature.
Other matters to be considered by the
commission include winter removal of
rough fish, investigation of commercial
fishing in Lake of the Woods, and an
Itasca park forest management plan.
Many Minnesota lakes will require
special attention in rough fish removal
because such work was hampered last
winter by the extreme cold. Game fish
will again be threatened by shallow
waters and it is expected that many
will have to be removed to other lakes

What does that show?" Well, it
shows mainly the difference between
effort and lack of effort. Our boys,
shocked by their unexpected defeat,
simply decided to play football and
kept piling little advantages on top of
little advantages until they meant
somthing, until they produced touch
downs"
Bernie explained that he could sense
the new mental attitude in his boys
during the week of practice. Many of
them came to me-" he said, "and ex-
pressed the hope that they would be
able to get off the bench-the reserves
mean. They were not complaining
but were merely hoping they'd have a
chance to play. 1t indicated an eager
ness throughout the squad to get into
action and play some serious football. y
"I won't say We played over our heads
against Iowa. Rather We played our
effort into it." Bierman was asked how
he compared Ozzie Simmons of Iowa
with other great hah-backs his team
has faced. His reply was: Il believe We
have met few ball carriers who might
have a slight edge on Simmons, but !
said after seeing Simmons in 1884 and
1885 and say again now, that he is
the greatest defensive halfback I have
seen in five years in the Western
Conference. He deprived us of at least
two touchdowns on plays that would
have scored against any other defensive

player in the conference and he short
ened many other gains for us, too"
Phil Brains motion pictures OF the
Iowa game, showing every play in
Guiding the eight touchdowns, brought
succession of cheers from the Journal
Quarterbacks who. on more than one
occasion, demanded that certain plays
be shown a second time. They were
especially enthusiastic over the Is yard
run on which Vic Spadaccini scored
after intercepting a pass just as the
game ended
Bernie did not single out any players
for special praise. He described the
victory as the result of team effort after
the meeting, however, he expressed
satisfaction over the improvement
shown by two sophomores, Larry Buhler
at fullback and Wilbur Moore at half
back.

This was termed an aviation feat,
seldom and rarely performed without
a crack-up. He landed the plane on
